The Worst Summer of Her Life
Harry Potter Alternate Universe: First Year
A/N: To clear up some of the confusion, Harry is still the chosen one. Yes the three of them were in there but the twins' mom died outside the room while Lily stayed to protect them into the room. Plus Harry has the scar. Thanks for your reviews.
Friday came faster than anyone expected, Harry and Becca walked Hermione to the library. When they got there they saw Luke waiting for Hermione.
"Hey, he's early, that's a first." Becca said, Luke laughed.
"Shall we?" Luke asked and extended his hand, Hermione looked back at Harry and Becca then back to Luke.
"I see no reason not to." Hermione said and they walked in. Becca sighed and pulled Harry along to their lesson.
"So, what do we do?" Luke asked, Hermione dropped his hand and immediately headed for a table full of books. He followed her. "And what may I ask is this?" He sat down next to her.
"Just some books I'm reading." She said and sighed.
"What's up?" Luke asked, Hermione looked up then back down at her book and found a newspaper. She handed it to him. "Ah, you're wondering what they wanted to steal." Hermione looked at him confused.
"How did you know?" Hermione asked, he simply handed her the paper and pointed to her writing that said, 'What did they want to steal?'. Hermione went red.
"So, how do you suppose we find that out?" Luke asked, Hermione looked up and smiled at him.
"I don't know. I'm glad you've included yourself in this, I'd hate to have to ask." Hermione asked and he smiled at her showing her his perfect pearly white teeth.
"Don't be." Luke said and Hermione smiled back at him. Professor McGonagall came up and sat at the table with them.
"You two can use this time to do whatever but do not leave the library until class is…" She stopped mid-sentence and looked out the window, Hermione and Luke looked out the window to see Harry. She ran out of the library and Luke picked up a book.
"So, you said you found the newspaper clipping at your friend Hagrid's place and after you brought it up, he ushered you guys out?" Luke asked, Hermione nodded. "I think its safe to say that Hagrid knows something. Either who wanted to steal it or what it is."
Harry followed the professor until she stopped at the Defense Against the Dark Arts room. She opened it.
"Professor Quirrell, may I borrow Wood for a moment?" She asked, then a fifteen year old boy came out. He had short light brown hair and simple blue eyes and he was wearing Gryffindor robes. He ignored Harry completely.
"Yes, Professor?" Wood asked, she pulled Harry up to Wood.
"Wood, this is Harry Potter, Potter, this is Oliver Wood. He is the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team." She told Harry before she turned back to Oliver. "Wood, I've found you a seeker!" She all but shouted. What scared Harry the most is that Oliver and the professor both had excitement that was hardly normal.
Harry bumped into Ron and Becca first. Becca handed him his bag and he was about to tell them when they bumped into Hermione and Luke.
"Sorry." Luke said and helped Hermione up, she was trying to stop laughing and so was Luke.
"I'm guessing you made a friend Luke?" Becca asked with a smile, Luke smiled at Hermione then smirked at Becca.
"Oh, me and Lucas were talking about the break in at Gringotts and came to a conclusion." Hermione said, the others waited to hear the rest.
"Well, Hermione recalled your visit and it all pointed to one thing: Hagrid knows what was in the vault." Luke said, Harry's jaw dropped.
"Why didn't we think of that before?" Becca asked hitting herself on the head. "I'm suppose to be the smart twin you know." Luke smiled.
"I'm gunna be Gryffindor's new seeker." Harry said, Luke and Ron's jaw dropped. Hermione and Becca smiled.
"You're like the youngest seeker in a…" Ron trailed off.
"In a century." Harry told the group. "Although first years aren't suppose to play on house teams, they made an exception for me."
"Well it is in your blood." Hermione sad nonchalantly. Becca smiled at her.
"And how would you know?" Becca asked, Hermione rolled her eyes and led them to a trophy room. She pointed to one in particular.
"I walked through here once and saw that, and I made the connection." Hermione said, Luke smiled at her.
"Come on, its dinner and I'm starving." Ron said, Harry shook his head.
"When are you not?" Harry asked and they made their way out, only to hit a group of Slytherins.
"Black, what are you doing?" Malfoy asked, Luke looked at the group of Gryffindors.
"What do you think I was doing Malfoy? I was catching up with my sister, my dad said to make sure she wasn't getting into trouble. I tried to tell him as long as she hangs out with Potter trouble will find her." Luke said, he gave a subtle nod to the group than walked off with the Slytherins.
"That's weird." Hermione said, everyone turned to her. "Well, he was nice in the library and now he's not so nice." Becca shrugged and Harry waved it off.
"Dinner?" Ron asked, the group laughed and they made their way to the Great Hall. They were having a good time until Malfoy and Luke came up behind Harry and Ron.
"So, Potter, I heard you're the new Gryffindor seeker?" Malfoy asked, Harry turned around and smirked.
"You heard right." Harry replied leaning his back against the table.
"Since you think you're are the better wizard, how about a duel?" Malfoy asked, Ron dropped his fork.
"Whose your second?" Harry asked, Malfoy looked at his followers than at Luke.
"Black. Yours?" He asked, Becca stood up.
"Me. Name the place and time." Becca said, Ron looked a bit disappointed he wasn't Harry's second.
"Trophy room, midnight." Malfoy said and Harry nodded. The Slytherins went away, Harry turned back around and noticed Hermione frowning at him.
"You actually going?" Ron asked with some food coming out of his mouth.
"Yeah, just me and Beccs though." Harry said and Ron nodded, Hermione just went back to her food.
Harry and Becca were dressed in dark colors and were looking at the clock. They were pretty sure everyone was asleep.
"Alright half-eleven, lets go." Becca said, they went out of the portrait unaware of another girl following them quietly. Soon they were in the trophy room, Draco and Luke were waiting there.
"So, do you have anything from the Slytherins?" Harry asked, Draco and Luke shook their heads.
"When Uncle Sirius said that we'd be facing loads of adventures, I thought he just meant like studies and girls, not finding out what was stolen and who wants it." Draco said, Becca laughed.
"I was walking around and I…, overheard, Dumbledore drop the name Flamel. I figured we could ask your friend Hermione." Luke said, he smiled when he said Hermione. "Or I could do it now." They all looked at him like he was crazy. He pointed to her hiding spot, she tried to move but Harry grabbed her arm.
"Hello Hermione." Harry said, Hermione smiled at him, he couldn't help but smile back.
"Now that she knows, she'll have to join us." Becca said with a smile. "What about it? Wanna join our circle of chaos?"
"I don't know…" Hermione trailed off.
"I know Harry and Luke would love for you to join." Becca said and Hermione looked from Harry to Luke.
"Okay. And you're right I have heard the name Flamel, but I cant place it right now." Hermione said and Draco smiled.
"I will have to be mean to you in public, just know its nothing personal." Draco said and Hermione nodded.
"And I will have to stick up for her in public, just know its nothing personal." Becca said with a smile. Hermione laughed and they said bye to Draco and Luke.
"Hermione, if you want, we could meet up in the library and go through some books. There's a table at the back no one goes to." Luke said, Hermione smiled at him. Harry felt angry at Luke for some reason.
"See you there." Hermione said and turned to Harry, but her eyes fell on something else. Harry turned to see what it was.
"Mrs. Norris." Harry said and grabbed Hermione's hand, Becca following behind they went into a corridor and slammed into a door.
"Harry, what floor is this?" Becca asked, she saw Hermione pale.
"The third one, the one we aren't suppose to be in!" Hermione hissed at Harry. They heard footsteps nearing.
"He's coming!" Harry said and tried the door. "And its locked." Becca pushed him to the side.
"Alohormora!" Becca hissed, they went in and waited. Hermione turned around and had her back to the door. She grabbed Harry's arm and was holding on for dear life.
"Hermione, what…." He trailed off as he turned around. A three headed dog was looking at each one of them. "Becca, open the door!" Harry yelled, Becca threw open the door, they ran out and Harry slammed it shut. Becca started laughing, Hermione and Harry turned to her.
"What a great initiation." Becca said and Harry started laughing too. Hermione wasn't getting it. "I just mean, you did join the circle of chaos, it only makes it funny because the night you join we face a three headed dog." Hermione let out a small laugh.
Once they got to the common room, Hermione and Becca were at the girls dormitory about to go in.
"Why would anyone in their right minds keep a dog like that locked in a castle full of kids?" Harry asked, Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Didn't you see what it was standing on?" Hermione asked, Becca and Harry shook their heads.
"No, we were a little preoccupied with the three heads." Becca said and Hermione smiled.
"It was standing on a trap door, its obviously protecting something and I'll bet Ron's next meal that it's the thing that someone is trying to steal. Now, I'm off to bed before you come up with another brilliant plan to get me killed. Night." Hermione said and walked in.
"Poor Hermione, she doesn't seem to have a lot of friends." Harry said and stared after her.
"Nope, and that's why she probably sticks to the rules and got defensive with Ron in class." Becca said with a smile. "I like her." Harry smiled at her.
"Me too. Night Beccs." Harry said and went to the boys dormitories.
