AN:/ Heyy welcome to another chapter of Rising of a Phoenix. I am so sorry for the late release. I have had a trying week of doctors appointments so I haven't had time. I hope you enjoy Chapter 8 of Rising of the Phoenix. I don't own the rights of Harry Potter that belongs to JK Rowling.
Hermione's Point of View:
I wake up in my room and smile. It has been a month and so much has happened. I became best friends with my roommates, Dorcas Meadows whom has decided we were now best friends since she heard her home was attacked her family was safe and it was all because of my brothers being there, Alice Greengrass (AN:/ It was only pureblood name I could think of lol and didn't know Alice Longbottom's maiden name) she was a quiet and shy girl who is already crushing on a second year but he doesn't seem to notice her though I have a good feeling about her and Frank Longbottom, and finally Marlene McDonalds the life of the party already popular with the boys but she doesn't do anything about it and she is the queen of the gossip train you want to know something she knows it all. We are an interesting bunch but I wouldn't have it any other way.
The boys are prank kings not as good as my brothers, but they are good pranksters. I could tell they were all smart in their own ways. Remus perfects the plan, Sirius comes up with them, and James was a big part of them coming along. I had given them some input here and there, but never gave them any ideas of my brothers. Need to keep an ace up my sleeve or at least I think that is the muggle reference I heard of in Muggle studies. They have a fourth boy in their room, Isaac Grey. He's a muggleborns and seems like a sweet kid. They have of course taken him under their wing being a muggleborn and wanting to make him feel welcome. I have a feeling he would have been a Hufflepuff if Peter had been sorted into Gryffindor.
That was a whole another story the day after the sorting I had received a summons to the headmaster's office. Which I expected was coming and my parents were waiting and so were my brothers. Headmaster Dumbledore wanted me to explain my side of the story. I even offered my memories from the train. He took them of course, and my family and Dumbledore watched them. It had been deemed he was a danger to me, but with his mother currently in a holding cell awaiting sentencing there would be a magical restraining order to keep him away from me. So that means that Slytherin and Gryffindor couldn't have classes together. My parents were ready to take me out of the school, but I begged them not to. I didn't want to leave Hogwarts, they agreed, but if I was in any danger from Pettigrew they would revisit the discussion. But, everyone was proud I was a Gryffindor. Mom had to pay dad a hundred sickles thinking I was going to be a Ravenclaw. We all laughed at her pout.
I broke out of the thoughts and decided to get ready and head down to breakfast. Classes were so much fun I loved learning and having friends. I haven't had any full body visions since the one at the train station. I feel like I should tell my friends, but I don't want them to think I am some sort of freak. But, I know I wouldn't be able to protect myself or my secret if all the other children found out and called mommy or daddy, and the dark side found out about me. I had a dream about Remus, and knew if it was true then I would want to help him without him knowing of course. I know how hard it is to keep secrets, but that secret he needs to tell us in his own time, and I have a feeling he will. I decided later I would do more research on Werewolves so I could better help him, and just say it's for an extra credit project. I broke out of my daze yet again but colliding with another body I looked up and saw Lily Evans. She thought she was so high and mighty because she was a muggle born in Slytherin. It was unheard of and in doing some research I have found some scattered in. Of course she didn't believe me and just stuck her nose in the air. I had a feeling she sent the future into another course by choosing the house she did. I don't know if it is a good thing or a bad thing, only time will tell. "Ugh just what I need to run into one of you stupid Lions your stupid pranking posse coming up to turn my hair lime green?" she sneered at me.
We both stood. I had thought we would become friends but she ended up being a royal bitch, my mother would wash my mouth out with soap if she heard me thinking that language. "Not that it is any of your concern since you don't own the hallway you pompous snake princess. But, no the boys will not be joining me since they are still sleeping. Now get out of my way. I have better things to do than bother with you. Don't want my appetite ruined by the likes of you." I sneer back.
She laughs, "To think the hat wanted to put me in Gryffindor like I would want to deal with the likes of you on a daily basis, and your idiot Toe rag friends. You're all a waste of space here at Hogwarts. Besides we all know Slytherin is the best house and we will prove that by winning the house cup though your tog rags are making it easy with all those tricks they play. You might as well just give it to us at this point." she says laughing at me.
I hadn't pulled any pranks this year, but being the sister of the prankster masters has some advantages. I laugh, "You think the boys are bad. Watch your back Evans" I say to her. I back away knowing never to have my back to my opponent. She looked slightly scared before I turned the corner and when I turned I saw none other than James Potter. He is one that confuses me. I feel connected to him, but he infuriates me to no avail. "Oh Jamie you're awake? Are you ill?" I ask him in a joking tone. He hates it when I call him Jamie, but still lets me get away with it. He goes after anyone else who calls him Jamie. My own special nickname.
He places his hand on his chest like I wounded him and I laugh at him. He takes my arm and tucks it into his own like I had seen my father do to my mother on many occasions. He kept me on the side closest to the wall thankfully his right arm was his wand arm not that he would need it. Hopefully. "Oh how you wound me fair maiden I awoke to eat breakfast since it is the most important meal of the day and I hear my best friend being harassed by a snake only to threaten her. What has my fair maiden got planned for the evil Snake Princess?" he asks me with a twinkle in his eyes.
I laugh at him, "I have a few ideas going through my head. Though if I just prank her then she will know it was me and I might get in trouble. But, if I prank all of Slytherin then you guys would get in trouble. Though her smelling like a skunk for a month or your transfiguring into a snake with a crown on her head every time someone says Slytherin makes me want to do it to just her to get a laugh sounds good to me." I told him.
We stop because neither could hold in our laughter. Soon we calm down but then Sirius and Remus show up asking why we are laughing so hard. That sends us into another round of laughter and explaining to them the best we could they laugh with us. Thankfully Isaac showed up so we didn't have to explain again and he laughed with us. "Oh kitten, that is hilarious. I would love to see her turn into the snake princess she is. I would be saying Slytherin all the time." Sirius says, wiping the tears off his face. This is the most I have seen him laugh since he has been blasted off the family tree and disowned through a howler. I had destroyed it with what I thought was a simple spell of Lararnum Inflamari. Sirius looked at me like I hung the moon, and I later learned that was a third year spell.
We went to classes and I decided I had enough of the prissy bitch and grinned at an older charm my brothers had. I told the boys to be at dinner. It was time for a little revenge. We sat in our normal seats James next to me and Remus in front of him Sirius in front of me. I watched as Lily drank her pumpkin juice. I wink at the boys. "Dora what was that Slytherin bitches name again?" I asked her.
She was in on the trick and more than happy to help. "Oh Mia how could you forget the biggest bitch in our year? Her name is Lily, Lily Evans" she says her name twice. We all look over at the Slytherin table just as two dung bombs appeared above her head. She let out a squeal and many Slytherins backed away from her and the smell.
She stood from her seat and glared at me with so much anger and hatred "PREWETT WHAT DID YOU DO?!" She yells at me.
I look at her with innocent eyes, "I have been enjoying my dinner Miss Evans I haven't done anything to you" I answer her back. Knowing the spell is only activated by using her name.
She looks ready to lunge at me and James being James looks ready to jump in front of me at the slightest danger. "You did this to me, you told me to watch my back, you threatened me." she sneers.
I look over at James, "Jamie you were around when I had the talk with Evans this morning. Did I ever threaten her?" I ask him.
He looks at me with twinkling eyes, "No I didn't Evans my Own" I looked at him in shock with the newest nickname it sounded very possessive. Funny thing is I didn't seem to mind the thought. File that for later. "Is one of the sweetest young ladies I have ever met. She wouldn't hurt a fly. I was around the corner in case I would have to protect my best friend if I needed to from the snakes. I heard you calling her friends toerags and said we didn't belong in Hogwarts. So no Lilly Evans" another dung bomb and another scream from her. "My own didn't threaten you" he says to her. "Though mess with her again House of Potter won't take too lightly" he sneers and takes my arm. "Come My own we have a study date. Meadows, Greengrass, McKinnon's, Frank, Sirius, Isaac, Remus y'all coming?" he asks.
We all walked out of the dining hall and when we were a safe distance from the dining hall we all broke out in laughter. Most leaning against someone else, on the wall, or Sirius case laughing his ass off on the floor. "How long is this gonna last? Is there a way to reverse it?" Issac asks me.
I smile at him, "Anytime anyone says her name a dung bomb will fall on her it will last till we get on the train for Christmas break. I am the only one who can cancel it sooner. It's a Prewett curse." I snicker. I couldn't wait to write to my brothers and tell them what I had done to the Slytherin Princess. They had been sending me prank after prank ideas when I told them I was having troubles with her. I could imagine them laughing and looking proud. I would probably receive a howler just to hear how proud they are and laughing there arses off or a double Patronus. It has been a great start to my first year at Hogwarts.
AN:/ She's a Prewett so of course she has some tricks up her sleeves. And, now for everytime someone says Lily a dung bomb will appear. Dont mess with Hermione Prewett. I hope you enjoyed! I will update soon! Draco Lover Forever 1994
