Stuck in the Marauders era, Hermione tried to go to sleep with her new roommate, Lily Evans. She tossed and turned all night and her dreams were filled with the scenes from the war; Bellatrix carving Mudblood into her arm while cackling in glee and when Ron stomped away from them in rage and left her.
"Hermione, wake up!!!!!!!!!" shouted Lily standing above her.
"Stop Harry, I'm trying to sleep!" moaned Hermione.
Lily shoved her off the bed and then Hermione woke up, glaring daggers at Lily.
"Lily, why di-" said Hermione just before she was interrupted.
" Who is Harry?" said the fiery-haired girl firmly.
"Ummmmmmm, someone I know." said Hermione meekly.
" Nevermind, tell me later at the breakfast table." said Lily.
Hermione and Lily got ready to go to the breakfast table and met the Marauders: James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.
"Kitten, had a nice nap?" said Sirius with a wink.
"It was OK."said Hermione.
"Of course it was, you dreamt of me!" said Sirius.
"Hermione, who is Harry, you dreamt of him." Lily asked with a smirk.
Everyone knew that Sirius had fancied Hermione eversince he saw her appearing out of nowhere, unconscious into his lap with a cat. Lily had walked off, not wanting to witness the argument she had assumed would happen. However, Sirius narrowed his eyes at Hermione and asked" Yes, Hermione who is this Harry?"
"Ummm, no one Sirius." answered Hermione
"Succumb to me kitten." said Sirius with a wicked glint in his grey eyes.
Hermione walked off, ignoring him. Sirius had heard of a potion to make someone do whatever you want and make them feel sleepy and they would not remember what had happened when the victim had swallowed the contents. He went in search for it and he had suddenly remembered the name. It was called the Imperpiviate Potion.
Sirius had not told any of his friends about his mission but they were starting to suspect something. As Sirius was off collecting ingredients to make it, the remaining Marauders were conversing
" James, Sirius has been really weird and he even asked me where to get hellebore and moonstag. I think it has to do with Walkers. We need to pay a visit to Hermione Walkers." said Remus
James nodded, wanting to know the reason for his best friends behaviour.
They walked up to Hermione and asked her what was the last thing Sirius said to you.
" Uhh, Sirius said succumb to me." said Hermione with a puzzled and confused expression on her face, thinking why he had said that.
Meanwhile, Sirius had collected every ingredient he needed for the Imperpiviate Potion. He just needed to stir for 48 hours and it would be complete and he would know the mysterious 'Harry' and who he was. Quickly pouring the drink into Hermione's pumpkin juice, he sat down waiting for them to arrive.
Hermione walked to the table in th common room, she saw Sirius sitting there. She also saw her favourite juice there so she decide to sit down and drink it. Remus was in a big hurry and needed to get to Hermione because he had finally figured out what Sirius was brewing and he knew that he probably has put in her juice.
"Hermione don't drink it, please don't!" shouted Remus from across the room.
Unluckily for him, she already had drank a little bit of it. Hermione's head began to spin and she only thought of Sirius and how he was the most important person to her but she also felt so tired that her eyelids kept drooping, she felt oh so tired. Sirius. She was Sirius's, she would do anything for her Sirius just as long as he talked to her, Sirius was the only person in her life now, not Remus, James or Lily just Sirius. Sirius had just told her to drink something he was giving to her. She would happily do it for she was Sirius's. Remus watched in sadness as he saw one of his best friends become under the control of Sirius and as he saw that she was drinking more, he knew she was Sirius's now, Hermione was lost to the potion. Its effects were permanent now as she drank a whole cup full of undiluted potion. Hermione Walker was lost. Hermione Granger was lost. They were both lost and now she belonged to Sirius Black. Lost. Lost was the one word ringing in Remus's mind, that she was lost. Lost.
