Hi, here's the fifth chapter, I hope the story makes sense, if it doesn't its probably because I wrote it one o clock in the morning…
Oh, and I know I have heard SSS before but I don't know in what story…sorry for borrowing the idea.
Last chapter.
Smiling, Professor Felin stood up and put a hand on Hermiones 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."
'Merlin did that just happen?' Hermione was walking down the corridors of Hogwarts in the direction of the library, right now musing on the previous ten minutes.
Earlier she had been offered to practice DADA with an extremely handsome professor who was eight or nine years older her senior, incredibly smart, asked her to call him Devon outside the classroom and-
"That was quite an show you put up earlier Chader"
'Great, a pack of mice eaten prats, just what I need right now'
Stopping and turning around, Hermione saw three boys standing a few feet away from her, the marauders.
"It wouldn't have been such a show if I had an decent partner" Hermione sneered as the boys started to walk closer and moved one hand to her wand.
"Oh, there is no need for that" James said as he noticed her hand movement "we just want to talk a little"
Crossing her arms, Hermione leaned against the wall and looked at the three boys, what could they want right now?
"Oi! Hero, over here!"
Growling with frustration, Hermione once again turned and saw Lucius waving her over.
"Hold on!" she shouted back and gave the marauders an apologizing smile, then walked over to Lucius who followed her to the dungeons.
"What the hell was that?" Malfoy sneered as they walked down the murky stone stair that led to the mysterious corridors of Hogwarts dungeons.
"What was what?" Hermione asked as she did her best to sound innocent, that however wasn't working.
"You know bloody well what I'm talking about, how can you even speak to those pathetic excuses of wizards?"
"Lucius calm down will you? I was only telling them to get lost ok?" Hermione lied as she found herself getting annoyed at the blond guy, why couldn't he just mind his own business?
Smirking at the embarrass face he made when she had told him that she only had told the marauders off, mione quickened her pace and hoped to loose Lucius on the way so she could think but the blonde was currently keeping up with her.
"So, what did Professor Felin want with you?" He asked.
Looking over at the blond again, Hermione suppressed all feelings that told her to hex him and end his miserably life right there and sighted, if Bella was different in this time, who was she to judge Lucius for his actions in the future?
"He offered to tutor me" she answered honestly and held Lucius gaze as she tried to figure out what he was thinking.
"He offered to tutor you?" Lucius repeated as he broke the gaze to look at the cold stonewall in front of them, the entrance to the Slytherin common room.
"Yes he did"
"Well…" Lucius said and smirked at Hermione "I'm pretty sure that will make the marauders steaming mad, so if I where you, I'd watch my back"
A little surprised at Lucius words Hermione smiled, then she nodded and turned to the wall.
"Malicious smiles" she said and the walls bricks slowly started to rearrange themselves, almost exactly as the entrance to diagon ally from the leaky cauldron, except this entrance revealed a stone room filled with students.
The Slytherin common room was not at all as Harry and Ron had described it, the walls was of stone but they where warm and not cold and water dropping, the so called stone floor was actually a soft green rug with silver serpents in the corners and the old and dusty furniture as Ron had said was of green exclusive leather and blank polished mahogany.
"Hero, Lucius over here!"
Bella's strong voice rang thru the common room as she waved them over to a circle of armchairs where two other Slytherins sat.
"Hero, may I introduce you to my sis Narcissa and my friend Severus Snape" Bellatrix said as Hermione and Lucius had each settled in an armchair.
Hiding her surprise as she heard the names, Hermione extended her hand to the blonde witch.
"Hero Chader"
"It's a pleasure to meet you Hero, Bella's been telling us a great deal about your dueling skills"
Narcissa said and peered at Lucius who where talking to Snape.
"You know, if you don't want him to know that you're madly in love with him you better stop staring sis" a smirking Bellatrix Black told her sister who blushed, then Bellatrix turned to Hermione "She's been in love with him since forth year"
"I have not!" yelled Narcissa and stood up from the armchair she had been sitting in so fast it was knocked over.
"Right, first its denial, then its realizing and last its making the move" Hermione sniggered and Bella joined her.
"How come your on her side?" Narcissa asked and glared at the brow haired witch.
"Oh but please cissa, everyone would choose Bella over you any day"
The three girls turned and saw Lucius smirking at Snapes comment.
"Oh yeah?" Narcissa sneered and if glares could kill, Snape would be dead and six feet under by now.
"Yeah!" Bella laughed and then took a quick look at the watch on the wall "Shit!"
"What?" Lucius asked and turned to the dark haired witch.
"It's time for SSS" the witch responded and immediately, the whole common room was cleared of students except the sixth and seventh years.
"What's the SSS?" Hermione whispered to Snape as everyone tried to find a place to sit.
"It's the Slytherin Secret Service, every week we give someone a quest that she or he needs to fulfill in a weeks time; if they don't we come up with a punishment" Snape whispered back as Lucius stood up to speak.
"Welcome to this weeks SSS meeting, today we have a new member with us and as an welcoming gift, she's gonna get this weeks quest," after this, Lucius made an pause to let everyone whisper and look at Hermione where she sat staring at Lucius with an shocked face, "her mission will be to…steal the Gryffindors Quiditch cup from last year!"
'I'm so not doing that' Hermione thought as the Slytherins around her broke out in a violent cheer and started to smirk at her, 'there was no was she would be able to do that' was written all to clearly on their faces.
"If you have anything to say; do it now or never" Lucius said as he locked their gazes.
Opening her mouth to say that it was no way she would do it, Hermione felt a strong kick under the table and closed her mouth to prevent a scream.
"Well then, you have one week to fulfill the mission or ells…" Lucius said as he and the rest of the Slytherin left the common room, all except Hermione and Snape.
"What the hell did you do that for?" Hermione sneered at the greasy haired boy who had kicked her earlier.
"I saved your ass!" the Slytherin sneered back "if I hadn't done it they would have made you do something worse!"
"What? They can actually make you do things without you even agreeing to it?" Mione asked the boy in front of her.
"Of course we can!"
"Oh. Well then I guess I need to do a bit of planning" she sighted as she got up from the armchair, "and sorry for snapping at you"
'Oh My God, I'm apologizing to Snape, Harry and Ron is so gonna kill me'
"No problem Chader, and another thing," Snape said as Hermione reached the girls stairs, "will you bee my potion partner tomorrow?"
'Well that was unexpected' Hermione thought as she stopped and stared at the Slytherin boy.
"I'm not making a move on you or so, it's just that if you are as good in potions as in defense I think we could easily get an O without even trying" Snape explained as he also begun to move up to his own stair.
"So your good at potions?" Hermione asked relived, as she faked a surprised expression.
"The best in Hogwarts"
"A little full of yourself ain't you?" Hermione shouted back down as she started to walk up the stairs, "but don't worry, I'm such an nice person so I will help you with potions tomorrow"
'Great, just bloody great," Mione thought as she pulled the covers up to her chin 'Not only do I have to plan my revenge at that bloody hat, now I also have to steal a bloody house cup and then practice bloody defense with that bloody professor…. bloody hell!'
Sighting, she closed her eyes but as she drifted to sleep but her last thought brought a smile to her lips.
'Although I don't have anything against meeting that professor again'
---
"What are you doing?"
"Lucius! What are you doing here? In the girls bathroom…with an make up bag…and an copy of witch weekly…?"
Hermione asked as she stared at the blond boy who right now was turning into an interesting shade of red.
It was almost time for charms but Hermione had decided to go to the bathroom before that class.
"Eh, well I was…eh…just…have you done the mission yet?" Lucius changed the subject as he stuffed the make up bag and the paper in his bag and pointed at the packet Hermione held in her hands.
"What mission?"
"Gryffindors house cup?" Lucius said as he walked up to mione, "Is that it?"
"No!" mione shouted as Lucius made a move to take the package from her, "It's…an…gift! An gift to Severus!"
"You're giving Snape an gift?" Lucius voice was thick with laugher and Hermione felt herself getting more and more nervous every minute.
"Eh, yeah, you see…I wanted to thank him for getting us an O at potions today" She lied as she quickly made an move to put the package in her book bag, only she was stopped by Lucius hand as he grabbed the packaged from her and ripped it open.
"I don't believe a word of what you are saying Hero, why would you give Severus an – Holy shit!"
Hermione watched in horror as Lucius held the open package in his hands and waited for his reaction, it had taken her five hours to plan everything and now when she finally had made it she didn't want everything to be for nothing because of an stupid ferret father.
"You…you stole the bloody sorting hat?" The blonde yelled and looked at her with an unreadable expression in his eyes.
"Ehm…yes?" Mione said and took a few steps back in case he decided to be violent or something like that.
"What…why…it's…it's bloody brilliant!" Lucius shouted and started to exam the hat closer as he mumbled to him self.
"What? Aren't you mad at me?" Hermione asked, why wasn't he mad? She had stolen the bloody sorting hat for merlins sake!
"Mad? Why would I bee mad? Do you have any idea what panic it will be now that this hat is gone? Not even the marauders have been able to do something like this before!" The blond boy was now bouncing on the floor with an expression of a kid at Christmas.
"Lucius, you won't tell anyone of this now will you?" Hermione asked as she took the hat from him and put a hand on his shoulder to stop him from jumping up and down.
"Why not?"
"Because if you do, I'll tell everyone that you wear make up and read girl magazines"
The Slytherin boy gasped and stared at her with a horrified expression, "you wouldn't!"
"I'm a Slytherin ain't I?" mione smirked and leaded against a sink.
"But…I'm…Fine! I wont tell anyone"
"Good" Hermione said and started to walk towards the door.
"Wait, I'll follow you to dinner" Lucius said and together they started to walk thru the now dessert corridors, "One question though"
"Yeah?" mione asked, he and Lucius had just been discussing House elves rights
"What are you gonna do with the hat?"
"I'm gonna burn it!" Hermione said with a gleam in her eye that you usually only saw when she was arguing with Ron, total determination.
"You can't burn it!" Lucius exclaimed as he grabbed Hermiones upper arm to stop her from moving.
"Why not?" Hermione asked with an annoyed frown, this was her master plan; he had no right to tell her what to do!
"Because if you do, how the hell are we gonna get thru the sorting every year?" the blond asked as he fiddled with the black silk band that was holding his hair in a ponytail.
'His to bloody smart for his own good' Hermione thought and it wasn't until she saw Lucius smirk she understood she had said it out loud.
"Why thank you hero" the blond smiled as they started to walk again.
"Shut up albino," Hermione sneered, now she had to come up with something ells to do to that bloody hat "and I don't know what to do now when you just ruined my master plan!"
"What master plan?" Lucius chucked as they made their way to the great hall.
---
The next day where one of the most boring days in Hogwarts history, the only that had been slightly interesting was that the headmaster made an announcement at breakfast about the stolen sorting hat, telling everyone who knew something to speak up.
The rest of the day where as boring as it could bee, except that Hermione had her first Ancient runes lesson.
The professor, Mr. Gargell, where worse then Lockheart, he had been standing in front of the mirror the whole class, fixing his hair and giving himself compliments and flirty smiles.
It had taken Hermione all her will power not to shout at him or jinx his face to get stuck on the mirror.
Right now, Hermione was on her way to lunch with Lucius.
"I can't believe that incompetent fool!" Hermione growled as she and Lucius walked thru the great doors, both complaining about Mr. Gargell.
Looking over at the other side of the hall Mione saw the marauders sitting at the Gryffindor table, maybe she should talk to them now?
Earlier she had been "dragged" away by Lucius but she had been wondering what their reason to want to talk to her was.
"Well what can you expect, every teacher at this place is- hey where're you going?" Lucius shouted as mione made her way over to the Gryffindor table.
"I'll talk to you later!" She shouted back and sat down in front of an red haired girl who was currently talking to James, the girl however, stopped talking as fast she noticed Hermione.
Ignoring the redhead Hermione started to pill up food on her plate and was about to dig in when she noticed that her fork was gone, looking around for it she saw that every student in the whole hall was ether eating with an spoon or an knife, and up at the heads table, every teacher looked really annoyed except Dumbledore who where only smiling.
"Don't bother looking for an fork, James and Sirius stole every one in the whole hall" Remus, who was sitting at her left side said as he exange her plate with food for an bowl with soup and gave her an spoon with an lopsided grin.
"They stole every fork in the whole hall?" Hermione echoed as she turned to stair at the two grinning marauders.
"In the whole castle" James corrected.
Perplexed, mione could only nod and eat her soup while the three boys where staring at her, then after an while she got to annoyed and looked up from her tomato soup, "what?"
The three boys jumped as she snapped at them and Hermione smirked at the redhead who was right now glaring at her.
"Ehm, well" James stuttered as he was trying to find the right words without to sound rude.
"What are you doing here?" Sirius; tact was never really one of his strong sides.
"Oh I was-"
"Why the hell are you even talking to that Slytherin?" The girl next to James finally snapped and four heads turned to look at her.
"Why wouldn't they?" mione smirked at the girl, who knew it was so funny to make her mad?
"Because you're an muggle hating pureblood snob, that's why!" the girl screeched and slammed her fist on the table so the plates jumped.
"And how do you know that? You don't even know me" Hermione sneered and all her amused thought disappeared in a moment, how dare that girl accuse her for hating muggles when her own parents where dentists!
"Because you're all the same, and you can't really say that you're so different when you hang out with Malfoy and Snape"
"Oh, so now you're judging me for my friends? Has it ever occurred you that I actually have an own brain and that I use it? And how dare you tell me that I'm an pureblood snob when my best friend are an half-blood!" Hermiones voice was now lower then a whisper but the words were coming out as a threatening hiss.
The girl in front of her and the three marauders where all staring at her and then the redhead opened her mouth, "I'm…I'm sorry, I didn't know…I-"
"Well I don't want a bloody apologise I want an answer!" Hermione sneered, "Did you know all those thing before, or where you just judging me for the house I was in?"
"I…I didn't know those things…" the girl said as she avoided Hermiones despiteful gaze.
"Well why don't you find out the fact before you open your mouth then, and I really can't believe that you complain about purebloods discriminating muggleborns when you do the same thing, except you discriminate purebloods" Hermione said and then turned back to the three boys, "anyway, I came here to ask you what you wanted to speak with me about earlier"
"Before you let Malfoy drag you away?" Sirius sneered as he mentioned the blonde Slytherin.
"I didn't let him drag me away, I went with him to prevent you form start fighting" Hermiones eyes started to burn at his spite full words.
"Oh yes! Of course you did it all for us" Sirius smirked as he saw that the girl in front of him started to fuming.
"Yes I did you stupid git and if you don't see it your stupider then I thought!"
"Oh but please! It's so oblivious that you're only one of his toys!"
"What?"
Hermione felt all her rage slowly slip away from her at his words, she had just explained that she was nothing like the other pureblood girls and still Sirius says things like that.
Putting her spoon down at the table, mione got up and without a glance back, she walked straight out the doors of the great hall of Hogwarts.
Hurrying down the corridors, Hermione didn't notice the running footsteps that were following her until a hand grabbed her in front of the library doors.
Spinning around Hermione had her wand out in a second and pointed to straight at her attackers throat.
"Wait! I'm Remus, I come in friendly terms!" her attacker shouted and Hermione looked up to see the werewolf's face shocked face starting to break in to a grin.
"What are you here Lupin, shouldn't you be with your friends?" Hermione asked as she sat down in a shaded corner of the library's charm section.
"Hey, I'm sorry that Sirius is an ass but do you need to be rude to me because of that?" Remus asked and smiled insecure.
Considering the things that the sandy haired boy had said, Hermiones sneer slowly melted into a gentle smile and Remus relaxed.
"No, you're right, I'm sorry for snapping at you" She said and leaned back in her chair.
Gasping with faked surprise, Remus grinned and said, "What is it I hear? An Slytherin apologizing?"
Play scowling at the boy, Hermione smacked him lightly on the arm, then asked why he had followed her.
"Well, I just came to talk to you and apology for Sirius behavior"
"Sirius actions has nothing to do with you" Hermione said as she opened a charms book.
Sighting the werewolf also opened a book and together, they started to work with their homework, "I know that, but I didn't only follow you because of that, I said I also wanted to talk with you"
"Well what did you want to talk with me about?"
"I don't know really, anything," Remus said shrugging "you seem to be able to hold an intelligent conversation"
---
Hermione and Remus spent three hours working on their Defense and Charms homework, speaking and laughing together but when the clock struck eleven, they decided to split up and head back to their own common rooms.
"I'll talk to you later then?" Remus asked Hermione as they stood outside the library.
"Of course" Hermione answered and waved goodbye to the boy and started to walk away, only when she heard Remus footsteps fade away she turned around and followed him.
Stopping behind a statue she whispered a hearing charm and that way, she found out the Gryffindor password as Remus opened the Gryffindor portrait.
Grinning, Hermione sat down on the stone floor behind the statue and opened Hogwarts; a history as she waited for the clock to turn two.
While she waited Hermione took time to plan what she was going to do with the sorting hat and when the clock turned two she had the perfect plan.
Burn it.
Biting her lip so she wouldn't let out an evil crackle, Hermione got up and walked up to the fat lady.
"Hello" She said as the pink clad woman turned to her.
"Hello dear" the fat lady smiled, "password?"
"Microwave" Hermione said and grinned as the portrait opened.
Entering the Gryffindor common room it didn't take Hermione a long time to spot the house cup, the thing that got her attention how ever was how little the room had changed thru the years.
The couch was still in front of the fire and the round table front of the window was still filled with old books and spare parchment, everything was actually exactly the same except every time Hermione had been in the common room it had been filled with people and now however, it was completely empty because everyone was in bed.
An owl outside the window hooted and snapped Hermione out of her musings.
Fixing her eyes on the cup, Hermione turned to her task.
Walking up to the shelf where the cup stood, Hermione slowly lifted it down and shrunk it with a spell, after that she run straight out of the room and hurried down the corridors.
Stuffing the shrunken cup in her pocket, Hermione didn't see where she was going and when she rounded a corner she ran smack in to someone.
Letting out a gasp of surprise, Hermione closed her eyes and expected herself to hit the stone floor any second when two strong muscular arms encircled her waist.
"You know for being an Slytherin you sure don't know how to sneak around professors and prefects" an male voice said and Hermione opened her eyes to look in to an pair of stormy blue eyes who was staring at her with an twinkle that remembered her of Dumbledore on valentine.
"Professor Felin!" Hermione gasped and blushed under his piercing gaze, "what are you doing here?"
Chucking at her, Felin took her hand and started to lead her to his office, "I was about to ask you the same thing Miss Chader, but I think it would be better if we talked about it over an nice cup of tea"
