A/N I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER. ONLY THE PLOT. ALL CHARACTERS OOC. THIS IS AN AU

Recap

"I'd love that Bellatrix; I'll see you all later" she ends with a smile and goes to sit beside the group of her Gryffindor friends smiling to herself the whole time.

This time

As I sat down Lily and Remus both look at me and smile. "Hermione's grinning like she just won the lottery, wonder what happened" Lily asked her while Remus teasingly poked her. "Nothing you guys, I just had a good morning."

I reply not daring to look at the Slytherin table for fear of Lucius seeing me blushing. Just then Sirius and James came over with stormy looks on their faces.

"Hermione" James started "What in Godric Gryffindor's name were you doing with the Slytherins" he sort of sneered the word before Sirius broke in "Especially those ones, they're the worst of the worst, future Death Eaters the lot of them" He ended looking at his brother laughing with Severus. He shakes his head.

Now that I think about it, James and Harry are not that much alike, they identical to each other however him and Lily are very similar. While I'm thinking about this I see Siruis go and sit on Remus's lap and in that moment, I remember Remus's reaction to Siruis's death, and it saddens me even more.

"Hermione, are you listening?" Siruis looked at me grinning. I smilled ruefully and he took it as a cue that I wasn't. "I was saying we should get going to make the Quidditch match, me and James are playing." He finished while playing shoving James.

"Go on, I'll catch up" I tell them eyeing the Slytherin table and at that moment I lock eyes with Lucius and feel the blush creep onto my checks. Just then Peter Pettigrew rushed in saying he overslept and was hoping he didn't miss the match, when he came in all three boys embraced him warmly.

It made me sick to see them being all buddy buddy with James betrayer, the man who resurrected Voldemort. They all got up to leave, but before they did Remus, Sirius and James came up to me. "You guys okay, you look so serious?" I say while playing smiling at Sirius.

"Just be careful with them Hermione" James said "You don't know what they're capable of" Siruis told me again looking at his brother and shaking his head. "We just want you to be safe and not get hurt, good luck though" Remus finished tears welled in my eyes, they all hugged me "Aw you guys are so sweet" I say in the midst of the hug "Just think of us three as the brothers you never had" Siruis told me while playfully messing up my hair. The Gryffindors left.

"Lucius, wait up" I call to the blonde Slytherin as he's leaving the Great Hall. "I was hoping we could talk?" I tell him as I finally caught up to him. He nods his head to the rest of them and they take it as their cue. I guess no matter what timeline, a Malfoy Heir will always be the Slytherin Prince.

"I was hoping we could as well" Lucius replied with some hesitance but mixed with joy, it looked like he really did want to talk to me, it made me happy. "What did you want to talk about Lucius?" I ask as I fall in step with him.

"I was wondering if you wanted to watch the match with me?" he asks me very shyly. It's kind of weird seeing him this way when. Back in my time he was nasty and not at all like this. "Wouldn't it be weird Luce?" I say trying out a nickname for him, and as soon as it flew out of my mouth his face broke into a smile, and I see him blush as well.

"No, you see I'm very popular with the Slytherins. They won't question it. I also have already told them you're under my protection and messing with you would equal death. Don't worry... Mione" He says after hesitating on whether he should give me a nickname as well. For a second, he looks like he just made a huge mistake since I haven't said anything.

"I think I will watch the game with you Luce, and I love the nickname Mione, by the way" I finish smiling my brightest smile at him. "Good, because that's my name for you, and only mine" he said while taking my Gryffindor Scarf from my neck and puts it around his, laughing and putting his Slytherin scarf around my neck. The whole time he's doing this all I can think about is him touching me, it's electric between us, and before I know what I'm doing I grab his hand to hold it, he laughs again and holds my hand while we walk to the pitch.

Both blushing and getting many looks, a Slytherin wearing a Gryffindor Scarf, The Malfoy Heir no less and the new Gryffindor wearing the Slytherin scarf, holding hands no less.

Things are going to start getting weird in the past now that I'm here, I guess. All I know is that I don't want to let go of Lucius's hand, and I can tell he doesn't want to let go of mine.

As we reach our seats we're joined by Bellatrix, Regulas and Severus. All wearing smiles and looking happy to see me. Maybe they aren't bad. Maybe I really can save them, and end up happy, not like I was in my time, and as I look at Lucius still holding my hand and smiling from ear to ear, I think to myself that maybe I can finally get the love I need from someone I used to hate.

That's a funny thought. I have no more time to think because as soon as I see Sirius and James I start cheering wildly, Lucius and Bellatrix joining in slightly, and as James and Sirius see me sitting here, they still smile at me and give me a thumbs up. I can feel I'm already making a difference.

A/N I really hope you guys like this chapter. Sorry it was so short.
