Sorry this chapter has taken so long but I hope you enjoy!
Hermione stopped. She couldn't believe she had just said that. It wasn't her fault I mean she had to tell the truth but she couldn't help but blame herself. She needed to find out an excuse of how she knew. Before they could ask her.
"I over heard you talking the other day when Malfoy and Snape cornered me," Hermione said. Which was the truth. She had acted like she was unconscious. She was lucky that none of them had asked about it because then they would have figured out her secret.
All the marauders were staring at Hermione with a mixture of anger and surprise. The anger wasn't aimed at Hermione as much as themselves. They weren't sure how much they could trust Hermione anymore.
"Why were you listening in on our conversation?" James spat moodily (picture Harry in the fifth book when he's all pms ing and stuff.)
"Because I knew you were hiding something. I was hoping you would talk about it," Hermione droned. James and Sirius just scoffed. Remus was deep in thought. He was extremely worried about what this meant. He was mostly worried whether or not his secret was safe. Hermione didn't seem the type to tell but. What if she told someone. Lily already figured it out so he wasn't worried about her. Well she's not really friends with anyone else. Wait what does that mean about our relationship. She said that she still liked me which is comforting.
"Why didn't you just ask us?" Sirius asked.
"I did!" Hermione yelled.
"Oh yeah," Sirius mumbled.
"You know that you can't tell anyone about it?" James said.
"Of course," Hermione said, "Can we just leave this topic. I know not to tell anyone," Hermione pleaded.
"Okay," Remus said quietly.
"I can't wait to see the Slytherin's today!" Hermione squealed.
"Yeah we're going to have some fun in the next few days, "Sirius said with an evil smirk.
"I'm just curious how many couples and breakups we're going to cause," Remus said calming a little.
"Oh," James said excitedly, "on that subject. Lily do you want to go out with me?" Lily looked up and her cheeks were as red as her hair. Lily just stared at the floor.
"Com'n Lily we know you like him and he likes you. Give him a chance. Hey, what's there to lose, "Hermione said.
Whatever uneasiness there was between Hermione and James just evaporated. Hermione glowed as Lily nodded. She couldn't help but think she is part of the reason her friend exist.
"Just please don't gloat and all that jazz," Lily pleaded to James.
"I'm not sure I can do that because I discovered that I am going out with the most beautiful girl in the school," James said in a sexy voice that Hermione was sure Harry didn't inherit because he would have used it on Ginny by now.(A\N: I hate Cho and Harry together so I decided to put Harry with Ginny because they make a cute couple.) Hermione remembered when her and Ron walked in on Harry and Ginny making out on the bed.
"Where's Harry?" Ron asked Hermione.
"Did you check the dorm room?" Hermione asked as she got up off the big red couch she was on. They both went up to Harry's dormitory. They opened the door to see a shirtless Harry on top of Ginny on Harry's bed making out with her, passionately. Neither noticed them walk into the room. Hermione just giggled. Ron had smoke coming out of his ears. Harry looked up at Hermione's giggle. He looked almost paralyzed with fear at the look of Ron. Ginny pushed Harry off of her and sat in between Ron and Harry.
"Harry," was all Ron could spit out. He was pissed at him beyond all reason. How could Harry do that to his little sister. There was silence. Then Ron attacked Harry but Ginny stayed in between the two of them.
Ginny then shoved Ron away from Harry and pointed her finger at him as she yelled "Ron this is between me and you, Harry is my boyfriend and I am old enough to take care of myself!"
"I didn't go around making out in my 5th year!" Ron yelled shaking with fury.
"It's not my fault you didn't have a social life!" Ginny yelled also shaking.
It took Hermione 3 weeks to get Ron to acknowledge Harry and Ginny, not Harry and Ginny however Hermione noticed that Ginny, Harry, and the invisibility cloak were gone often especially after curfew.
"So what classes do we have today?" Peter asked between gulps of juice.
"PETER!" the group yelled.
"What?" Peter said putting down an empty glass of juice.
"The juice," Remus commented. Peter was furrowed in thought then...
"Oh my goodness," Peter squeaked. The marauders, Lily and Hermione burst out laughing.
"So Peter," Sirius smirked a smirk that could rival the Malfoy's legendary smirk. "Who do you like?"
"Jamie Gregory," Peter said in a small voice. Everyone laughed. Jamie was a smart and popular Hufflepuff, probably the most popular girl that was the captain of the quiddich team at the position of beater. She had a crush on James since she met him they went out for half a year and James was just never into the relationship so he broke it off. Yet she's still madly in love with him.
"Wait that's not fair we can't ask you questions," Hermione griped.
"James, Remus she figured out our evil plan," Sirius said with mock concern.
"Good job Hermione," James said.
"Yes she's our brilliant one," Remus said while patting her on the top of her head.
"Wait did she fill your position Moony," James asked.
"Cause if it's between you and Hermione, I'm sorry," Sirius said.
"Ha ha, very funny," Remus said.
"Wait did the teachers get any truth potion?" Lily asked.
"No, they usually drink wine and the elves wouldn't let us tamper with it," James said sadly.
"That doesn't mean today won't be entertaining," Remus said evilly. All the marauders except Peter were going to enjoy this to its fullest extent.
The Gang sat in Potions waiting for class to begin. Lily sat down by James. The whole class was amazed by this. Everyone was staring at the pair of them.
"Why are you sitting by Potter?" some Hufflepuff, Hermione believed his name to be Thomas said.
"Because we're going out," Lily said instantly.
"Got a problem with that Tom?" James asked in not the nicest manner.
"Yeah," Thomas said. It was obvious that wasn't what he had meant to say. James smirked.
"And what problem would that be?" Sirius asked evilly, knowing Thomas wouldn't want to say the answer.
"I like Lily," Thomas said. Everyone burst out laughing except for Thomas and Lily who turned very red.
"What is going on?" Professor snapped. She had walked in and no one had noticed.
"Thomas admitted to liking Lily," the whole class said simultaneously except for James, Sirius, and Remus who all grinned widely.
"Wow, what has gotten into you guys," she asked.
"We don't know," the whole class said except for Peter, Lily, and Hermione who said veritserum but no one heard them.
"Hum," the professor said looking deep in thought. She was obviously trying to figure out everyone's interesting behavior.
"Well anyway on with the lesson," she started, "Today we are going to learn how to make karetataph potion. You guys know what that is?"
"Yes," and "No," ran through the class.
"Oh Hermione please enlighten us," she said motioning toward Hermione.
"It is a potion that allows the drinker to exchange the your personality to someone else's, almost as if you were exchanging bodies" Hermione rattled off.
"Good, good," she said, "It will take most of the period but it will be useable by the next class and if and only if you're good then I'll let you experiment with it."
They spent the rest of class making the potion. Hermione was working with Sirius because Peter dragged Remus over to work with him. Sirius was pestering her the whole time, getting to know her forcibly, as he called it. Hermione was getting annoyed but was glad that he hadn't figured out about her being from the past.
"I have only gone out with two guys before Remus," Hermione said being very annoyed.
"And who would that be?" Sirius asked.
"Ron Weasley and Viktor Krum," Hermione said.
"How far have you gone with a guy?" Sirius pried.
"I've only gone as far as kissing," Hermione said blushing.
"Not even making out?" Sirius asked disbelievingly.
"No," Hermione said wishing she didn't have to say this.
'Now I'm gonna have to change that,' Sirius thought.
