Hi! So it's time for a new chapter!
And thanks a million time to my beta whom been helping me out with my grammar and made this story able to read!
Ok, enough talking and back to the story!
"I'm only wearing black until thy make something darker…" - no idea who said it but she must have been pretty god damn smart!
Last chapter
"I understand" the girl said, her voice thick with feelings "but what will happen to me now?"
Smiling the head master flicked his wand and removed her red horns before he spoke again, "I will remove these two gentlemen's memories and then you will join the school as an exchange student, all you're necessaries will of course be in the dorm of you're house, waiting for you after the sorting"
As Hermione listened to all the excited voices from the great hall she felt her nerves tense up and once again she cursed the headmaster for making her do this; again.
After Dumbledore had fixed the details of how Hermione was going to live in this new time; the headmaster had erased Sirius' and Remus' memories and sent them down with Hermione to the great hall, fooling them to believe that they had been called to the headmasters office to escort Hermione to her sorting.
Once they had arrived to the main doors the two boys had left Hermione to wait until the headmaster had explained to the students who she was and why she was there, (everything was of course, was made up) and after that, she would be sorted once again.
To soon for Hermione's liking, the loud voices died down and the doors opened, revealing a sea of curious faces and unfriendly glares from some of the more superficial girls.
As the night had started to fall candles floated everywhere in the hall, illuminating the ghosts, the faces of the teachers who sat on the main table, and of course; the sorting hat.
As Hermione walked in the middle of the hall she noticed people putting their heads together to whisper and eying her.
'So this is what Harry feels like…'she thought and tried hard to not break down and cry over her own misery.
When she finally reached the three-footed stool the whispering died down.
"Chader, Hero," The much younger Professor McGonagalls voice rang clear and Hermione sat down on the stool.
Closing her eyes for a brief second, Hermione took a deep breath and put the hat on her brown hair, only a moment later a whispering voice could be heard in her head.
'Well, well well, if it isn't Miss Granger again, in wrong time I suppose?' The hat's voice asked; and Hermione could swear she had heard the stupid hat laugh.
'Well, yes, isn't that oblivious?' she thought back as her annoyance grew, why couldn't this stupid hat be quicker?
'Do not forget that I can hear you thoughts Miss granger' the hat once again spoke and this time Hermione decided it would be best to not answer.
'Now let us see, I once put you in brave Gryffindor, but now your heart has changed, braveness is not you're strongest treat anymore, no...now you have the heart of a Slytherin'
'what? No, you cant put me in Slytherin!' Hermione could feel her palms getting sweaty and her eyes flickered to the Slytherin table. Nope, no place for her.
'And why not?'
'Because if you do, I'll steal and burn you'
'See, you are thinking like a Slytherin!'
'Shut up'
'Now there is no need to be rude, I am only trying to help you'
'If you put me in Slytherin I swear I will send termites on you'
'I do not think that is a good reason for me to not do my job'
'But you can't put me in Slytherin! I'm a muggleborn for crying out loud!'
'Ahh, yes you are, but they do not know that'
'You will not put me in Slytherin you stupid piece of leather!'
'Fine, if I cannot put you in Slytherin I'll just put you in...SLYTHERIN!'
The last part was shouted out and the Slytherin table exploded with cheers and whistles.
Furious at the hat Hermione made her way over to the table where a lanky black haired girl was smiling at her and asked her to sit down.
"You're a seventh year?" the girl asked as she offered her hand to Hermione.
Frowning Hermione took the girls hand and said, "Of course I am! Do I look like a first year to you?"
Laughing the black haired beauty started to pile up food on her plate, "Of course not, I just wanted to make sure that I would have company this year"
"What do you mean?" Hermione asked confused.
"Well you see, I'm the only Slytherin seventh year, I usually hang out with the seventh year boys or my sister but now I will have company," said the girl "Oh and by the way, my name is Bellatrix Black"
"And then he just walked away with chocolate pie all over his face!"
Laughing the two girls fell on the floor as they tried to calm down enough to change into their panamas.
It was around midnight and Hermione and Bella (A/n: I'm going to call her that from now) was up in their dorm, talking and unpacking Herman's things.
First, Hermione had been suspicious and didn't talk to much with the other Slytherins but after a while she noticed that they weren't the gloomy, obnoxious bunch of brats she first thought them to be, and after that, she made friends with Bella who actually was pretty funny.
Right now, Bella was telling Hermione stories from her time at Hogwarts and about the other students.
"But you need to watch out for the marauders" She said, her face now dead serious.
"The marauders?" Hermione asked, faking surprise, of course she knew who the marauders were but in this time she wasn't supposed to know that.
"Yes, James Potter, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black" Bellatrix spat as she went over to her own bed.
"But what is wrong with them?" Asked Hermione as she changed to her pyjamas.
"They are such losers Hero, all they do is hex people without a reason and think they own the school!"
"And that's all?"
"What do you mean with that's all? What else is there to tell? I mean I really loved my cousin, Sirius you know, before he joined Potter and Lupin but now" Bella let out a long sight and crept into her bed "Just forget it ok? Night."
Staring at Bella's now closed eyes Hermione was shocked.
Ever since she had came to the magical world she had thought that Bellatrix hated Sirius because he didn't act like a Black and didn't hate muggles; but now it seemed like she had thought wrong.
Pulling the covers up to her chin, Mione frowned, this was gonna be harder then she had thought; not only was she going to be friends with Lucius Malfoy (he was Bella's friend and she said that she was going to introduce her to him at breakfast), now she also needed to make up a story about her family and she was apparently a pure blood.
How she became a pure blood she didn't know. It was probably because she had told Bella that she could produce a patronus and it seemed that the whole Slytherin table thought that only pure bloods could do that; or, that the hat even put her in Slytherin.
Stupid hat.
Yawing, Hermione closed her eyes, all this thinking made her sleepy and tomorrow she needed to think out her revenge on that bloody thing called the sorting hat.
"Wake up you stupid cow!" the angry shout of Bellatrix Black was the first thing Mione saw, or rather heard the next morning as her covers were roughly pulled of her body.
"Wha...what time is it?" Hermione jawed as she went over to her dresser and pulled out her outfit for the day.
"Too bloody late for sleeping" Bella answer with a glare "I've been trying to wake you up for ten minutes!"
"Well, why didn't you just 'tickle my feet'?" Hermione said as she made her way over to the showers.
"What do you mean with tickle you're feet?" Bella asked as she started to brush her long black hair.
Ignoring Bella, Mione started to shower and then went over to the mirror to brush her teeth.
Looking at her reflection Hermione groaned, If there was something she wasn't, it was a morning beauty.
Her hair was now damp from the shower and stood out from strange angles, her eyelids were too heavy to really open therefore, she looked like a half dead zombie. Plus her morning breathe.
Well, lets just say she didn't look or smell good.
Sighing, Mione took up her wand from the floor where she had put it before she started to shower, and started to performed some spells to straighten her hair and then applied a little make up; not enough much to be slutty but not to little to not be noticed.
After that, she went out to her dorm again and started to make her bed.
"Nice figure"
"Excuse me?" as Hermione whipped around she saw Bella watching her in the mirror.
"Your body, seriously, you do have a great figure" Bella said as she put her black hair up in a ponytail.
"Well, thanks I guess" Hermione said, now feeling a little uncomfortable.
"No problem Mione, and no need to worry, I'm not gonna hit on you"
Hermione's eyes widened at these words, she knew that Bella usually hung out with the boys but she didn't know she was a flyer for the other team.
As if Bella had read Mione's thoughts she said, "Hero, it's not that I don't like boys its just, well women are more appealing to me then men."
Looking at Bella's reflection in the mirror Mione could see that the girl was nervous about her reaction. In Hermione's real time it was not unusual to be bisexual, but here the people who weren't straight were often spit at and victims of many hard words.
"I understand if you don't want to have anything to do with me now and-"
"Bella it's ok" Hermione stopped the rambling girl and smiled, after all, Ginny was currently dating Pansy Parkinson.
"And you don't need to - what did you say?" Bella asked as she stared at Hermione.
"I said, its ok, I really don't care" Hermione smiled, and before she knew it, the other girl had flung herself on her and was now hugging her.
"Bella, I really do appreciate you're hugs but I would like to breath." Hermione said as she pushed the other girl away and started to dress for the day.
"Oh, but I wasn't hugging because of what you said," Bellatrix said with a mischievous look in her eyes "I was only hugging you so that I could feel your body"
Staring at the other girl Hermione was speechless; until she saw a nerve twitch in Bella's cheek and soon they were both on the floor laughing like maniacs.
"Well, anyway, are you really going to wear those?" Bella asked Hermione after they had calmed down a bit, gesturing to Hermione's outfit.
Confused, Mione looked down at her skirt and shirt, and then it hit her; the girls in this time didn't use the tightening and shortening spells on their school clothes as the girls in Hermione's time did.
"Why are you asking?"
"Well, they are a bit..."
"Slutty?" Hermione said as she put on her black shoes.
"Yeah, that's the word I was looking for" Bella answered as she once again turned to look at Hermione's reflection through the mirror.
"Why, of course I am!" Mione smiled; she might be a goody-goody back in her own time but there was no way she was going to be one here.
"But every one will think you're a slut!" the horrified face of Bellatrix was enough to send Hermione in to another fit of laugher and soon she was rolling on the floor again.
"What's so bloody funny, don't you think of your reputation?" Bella yelled and Hermione stopped laughing right that second.
"I'm sorry, but it's just that if you had called me a slut in my old school you would be set to St. Mungos," Hermione answered and thought of her friends faces when she told them that she wasn't a virgin.
It had been at the train ride to the school when Harry had asked her what she had been doing during the summer break and being the person she was, Hermione hadn't been able to lie to her best friends.
"Oh, you know, parties, raves on the beach. There is not so much to do now that Voldemort is gone, oh and I meet this gorgeous boy that I spent some time with and then we became really close and I decided to let him deflower me and-"
The shocked face of Harry and the angry-going-to-murderous-mad expression on Ron's face had been enough for Hermione to know that she had said the wrong thing...
"Hermione!"
Bella's voice shouted and Hermione understood that she must have called her at least a dozen times before she got a reaction, "Merlin Mione, do you always zoom out like that?"
Smiling, Hermione looked at the girl, "Why of course, how else would I be able to deal with your whining?"
"Why you! I do not whine! Blacks don't whine or sulk!"
Laughing, Hermione made her way down to the common room and then kept going till she reached the great hall.
"Hope you're ready"
"What do you mean?" Hermione turned her head slightly to look at Bellatrix who walked beside her.
"I'm going to introduce you to Lucius not and do not - if its possible -insult him"
"Bellatrix," Hermione said as they walked through the massive oak doors "why would I insult him?"
"I just have this feeling that you won't like him," Bella answered slowly and then pasted a big smile on her face; they had reached Lucius.
Slowly sinking down on the hard tree bench Hermione got a good look at Draco's future father.
With long pale blonde, maybe with a trace of silver, sharp features and intense stormy gray eyes, Lucius Malfoy was more like one of those elves you read about in books like the Lord of the Rings then an ordinary school boy.
"- And of course I let him win, I mean no one can really beat me-"
Too bad you forgot his looks when you noticed his personality.
"Ehm, yeah that's great Lucius, anyway this is Hero, the new Slytherin you know" once again Bella's voice cut through Hermione's musings and she looked up to see both Bellatrix and Lucius looking at her.
"Well, well well, isn't she a pretty thing, Lucius Malfoy at your service."
The blonde extended his hand and Hermione unwillingly shook it.
"Hero Chader" Mione answered and quickly removed her hand from his to grab a jug of milk.
"Pleasure to meet you Hero-"
"Since when did we get on a first name basis?" Hermione snapped at him, why didn't he leave her alone to drink her coffee?
Looking a little put out, Lucius fixed her with a piercing look and then frowned,
"I suggest that you get used to it Hero because we're going to spend a lot of time together in class and private" Lucius said in a surprisingly cold voice and glanced at Bellatrix who was currently finding her eggs very amusing.
"And I suggest you let me drink my coffee before I hex you so badly that Dumbledore himself would shake with fear" Hermione answered with the same cold voice and then smirked at the shocked face of Malfoy.
Transforming the milk to steaming hot coffee, Hermione could not stop the smile forming on her face at the other occupants of the Slytherin tables' surprised gasps.
"How did you do that?" Bella's voice asked as Hermione took her first sip of the wonderful black coffee.
Grinning, Hermione remembered one of the Weasley twins favorite sayings, "That is for me to know and you to try find out"
"Welcome to Advanced Defense Against the Dark Arts. Today we're going to practice dueling two and two. So I'll pair you up, then lets get started shall we?" Professor Felin said and smiled, showing a nice set of sparkling white teeth.
Hermione heard Bella sight beside her, earlier she had told Mione that Professor Felin always paired Gryffindors and Slytherins together in an attempt to unite the houses and it seemed like this class wasn't gonna be different.
"James potter and...Marcus Legris" The professor's voice cut through Hermione's thoughts and she noticed that Bella and almost everyone had already been paired together.
"And last, Lupin and Chader" the professors eyes locked with Hermione's and she saw for the first time how good looking he was.
Long brown hair that reached his shoulders, lanky build but that fitted him and electric blue eyes.
Blushing, Hermione made her way over to Lupin who was scowling at her.
Frowning, Hermione looked around and saw that most of the Gryffindors were scowling at the Slytherins; while the Slytherins only smirked.
'No wonder every Slytherin is angry 24/7 if everyone is always scowling at them,' she thought and glared at the sandy haired boy.
"You know, if you ask nicely I might finish you of quickly" Lupin smirked as he whipped out his wand.
Whipping out her own wand Hermione had to use all her self-control to stop herself from hexing him. Bella had warned her earlier that Remus was the third best dueler in the school, James being the first and Sirius second.
"You know, if you pull your head out of your ass you might be able to perform a spell."
Hermione smirked as the cocky expression on the werewolf's face fell and a look of annoyance replaced it.
Hearing someone snickering behind her Hermione turned around to see the whole class had lowered their wands, and were watching herself and Remus.
"Since I don't know how experienced you are at dueling, I thought we could test you with Lupin and then see if you need and easier partner." Professor Felin said and Hermione could see Remus smirk.
Glaring at Lupin Hermione took ten steps back as Lupin did the same, while the professor started to count down.
"Three"
Hermione smirked at Remus and scanned her mind for a fitting hex
"Two"
Locking her eyes with Lupin's, Hermione grinned and said with a disgusting sweet voice, "I hope you know where the hospital wing is little boy"
Almost laughing out loud when Remus glare improved ten times she cast a glance at the professor and was a bit surprised when she saw him watching her closely.
"One!"
"Diferendius!" Hermione shouted and before anyone had a chance to react or even see the spell coming, Remus was flung back into a wooden desk.
Seeing the class shocked faces Hermione made a move to ace Lupin's wand but he was already back on his feet again.
"Wagiumm!" the werewolf shouted and a red light shot out from his wand.
"Regellut!" Hermione sneered as she blocked the spell easily, then cast another spell at the boy so that he was now tied to the floor with the same spell she had used on Ron.
"Accio wand," she said, then turned to the professor and the rest of the class. They were all wearing the same expressions of shock and awe on their faces.
"I do believe that I won professor" Hermione said as she glared at Felin. That would show him that she didn't need an easier partner!
Snapping out of his shock the professor nodded and released Lupin from the floor with a spell. "Miss Chader, would you shine some light on the class and I about where you learned those hexes and how you became so experience in dueling?" He asked and gazed at her with his deep blue eyes.
Blushing under his intense gaze, Hermione moved to sit down at her desk where Bella already sat and waiting for her.
"I learned the spells and hexes from a friend," Hermione said and remembered her time at Grimmauld place number twelve, she had persuaded Moody to teach her every hex and curse he knew and after seeing her potential for the art, Moody had taken up teaching every thing he knew about dueling and wand less magic, "and my friends and I used to duel at my old school."
Nodding his approval, the professor made his way over to his desk, "Well then, twenty points to Slytherin for that excellent demonstration and class dismissed. Everyone that is, except Miss Chader."
Smiling at the other Slytherins who were congratulating her on their way out of the classroom, Hermione promised Bella that she would meet her in the common room later.
When the last student had left the classroom Hermione walked up to the desk and looked at the professor.
"I am impressed Miss Chader," the brown haired professor said and searched her eyes for any emotion "as you are much more advanced than any other student I have ever met, I'm offering to tutor you outside of the classroom."
Blinking, Hermione could only look at the professor.
'He wants to spend more time with me? No, he is just being a teacher...But his so cute. No! Stop thinking that!'
"I...It would be great," she finally managed to stutter out and cringed inwardly. I'm not supposed to be nervous.
Smiling, Professor Felin stood up and put a hand on Hermione's shoulder.
"Great, I will see you on...Thursday, at eight?"
'He has a hand on my shoulder'
"Yeah, ehm...great" Hermione said and gave him a hundred watt smile.
"Good, and another thing" Professor Felin said as Hermione was at the door "You may call me Devon outside the classroom."
