The Worst Summer of Her Life
Harry Potter Alternate Universe: First Year
A/N: Wonderful reviews and I'm kinda glad some of you are confused. I'm trying to make this as real as possible and I think only a handful of people are with their true loves when they're eleven so although the characters might be dating others, it will end with Harry and Hermione.
Hermione walked out of the hospital wing with Luke. They were late for the game, Malfoy was waiting for them outside.
"Finally! By the way Becca knows Hermione went to visit you." Draco said and Hermione nodded. They said goodbye and Hermione went to her stand while the boys went to theirs, she sat next to Becca.
"Have fun visiting Luke?" Becca asked, Hermione looked at her and sighed. Becca was a bit angry with her.
"Yeah, it was good. I thanked him for saving my life and then I helped him out to Malfoy, he needed an escort out and Malfoy wasn't going to come. He really wanted to see the match so I told him I'd help him out to Malfoy." Hermione said and Becca smiled.
"Good, I thought you liked him." Becca said and Hermione laughed.
"I'm sorry but Lucas is just a very good friend." Hermione said and turned her eyes to find Harry. "Please tell me that's not Harry." Becca turned to see what she was talking about. Harry was moving uncontrollably and he was holding on for dear life. Becca used her binoculars to look more closely, she moved it to the teacher's stand and saw Snape staring at Harry, muttering under his breath as fast as he could.
"Its Snape. He's jinxing Harry's broom!" Becca said to Hermione. Hermione ran from the stands and over to the teacher's stands, she saw Snape's feet. She took a deep breath before pulling out her wand and pointed it at the end of his cloak.
"Incendio!" She hissed and a blue flame shot out of her wand and landed onto Snape's robes, where it started to flame up. She moved away but stopped when a hand landed on her shoulder, she noticed that Snape realized his cloak was on fire and stood up, knocking over three people including Quirrell.
"Miss Granger, follow me please." McGonagall said and led the way away.
"Professor, may I please stay and watch the end? Its Harry's first game and I've already missed most of it." Hermione asked, McGonagall shook her head no.
"It looks like he's gunna be sick!" The announcer, Lee Jordan, yelled and Hermione pushed past the professor and over to where she could see Harry. He coughed up the snitch, it landed in his hands and waved it so everyone could see it. Everyone, apart from Slytherin and Snape were cheering. Hermione let out a breath she didn't know she held in.
"Miss Granger." McGonagall said, Hermione sighed and followed the professor back up to the castle.
Harry made it back up to the common room and looked around for Hermione, Becca and Ron were beside him. He sighed and sat down.
"Where is she?" Harry asked, Becca and Ron sat next to him.
"Harry…"
"That was the…"
"Best catch…"
"Of all our…"
"Games." The twins said, Harry laughed along with everyone. An hour later the portrait opened, everyone turned to see a pale Hermione come in. She shut it and everyone continued. Harry and Becca hurried over to her.
"Where did you go?" Becca asked, Hermione closed her eyes then reopened them.
"No where. Good game Harry, I think I'm gunna head up to bed. Night." Hermione said and walked away.
Hermione woke up when she heard someone walking. She saw Becca just as Becca saw her. Hermione smiled softly.
"We're going to the circle of chaos. Coming?" Becca asked, Hermione nodded and quickly changed. They went down to the common room and saw Harry.
"What took you so long?" Harry asked, Becca pointed to Hermione.
"Had a straggler." Becca said, Harry nodded and they made their way to the trophy room. Luke and Draco were already there.
"Hey, what'd McGonagall do to you? I heard she caught you trying to set Snape on fire." Luke asked, Hermione looked to the floor.
"That's how she did it." Becca and Harry said together.
"She wrote to my parents and took fifty house points away." Hermione said quietly, Becca moved over and pulled the girl into a hug.
"Hey, that's better then letting Harry die any day." Becca said, Harry looked at Hermione then to the floor.
"You should come to our house for the summer. Sirius said he had something to do for Christmas but you should come for the summer." Harry said, Hermione smiled.
"Think you can put up with me for an entire summer, Potter?" Hermione asked causing everyone to laugh.
"I like her." Draco said through his laughing.
"Lets get out of here before we get a replay of out last meeting." Becca said, Hermione turned to Luke.
"But me and Luke found out about Flamel." Hermione said, everyone turned to face them.
"The thing they were trying to steal is something call the philosophers stone." Luke started with a smile.
"Nicolas Flamel is the creator of the Philosopher's stone, the only stone that can turn any metal into pure gold. It also produced the Elixir of Life, making the drinker immortal. He had recently celebrated his six hundred and sixty-fifth birthday last year with his wife." Hermione said as if she was reciting something from a book.
"So, that's what Snape's trying to steal." Harry said and everyone nodded, then said goodnight. They split up and went to bed.
Christmas came very fast this year, Harry and Ron, Percy and the twins were the only Gryffindor boys left for Christmas. Becca and another Gryffindor were the only girls and they didn't get along well, Harry usually found Becca sleeping in one of the empty boy beds.
"Merry Christmas!" Harry yelled, Becca pulled the covers over her head. She got Harry to switch beds with her.
"Harry, I love you but go away." Becca said, Harry pulled the covers off the bed. She sighed and got up. "Come on Ron, if I have to be awake, so do you." She said and Ron actually got up. After showers they met up in the common room. Ron sat himself by the tree and sorted out the presents, Harry and Becca had planned to meet up with Draco and Luke a bit before lunch. Hermione went home for Christmas, after the whole trying to set Snape on fire her parents were even thinking of pulling her out. So, Hermione is trying to convince them not to by coming home and Becca and Harry hoped she succeeded.
"Those are from my mum, everyone in the family gets one and I guess she likes you guys." Ron said, his ears a bit red.
"They're great Ron." Becca said as she looked at hers, it was blue with a B on it. Ron smiled then went back to the presents. The twins came downstairs and sat on either side of Becca.
"Hello there, Becca."
"Merry Christmas. Love the sweater." The twins said, then Fred pulled on his sweater.
"We match!" Fred said and Becca laughed. Ron pulled out a gift and noticed it didn't have a card.
"Harry, this is yours." Ron said and threw it to him, Harry caught it. He unwrapped it and a soft cloak fell out onto his lap, Ron, Becca and the twin's jaws dropped.
"Is that what I think it is?" The twins asked, Becca smirked at Harry.
"I think it is." Harry said putting it on, he looked down and laughed when he saw his body was gone.
"An invisibility cloak!" Ron exclaimed and jumped up.
"There's a note." Becca said, Harry took off the cloak and picked it up. "Well, read it." Harry started reading to himself until he realized all eyes were on him.
"Your father left this in my possession, use it well." Harry read, his eyes caught Becca's.
"Do you realize what you could do with that?" Fred said, excitement bubbling out of him. Becca looked away from Harry and smiled.
"Of course, we can cause trouble and they cant pin it on us." Becca said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. Harry sat on the floor holding the cloak and the note.
"George, I think I'm in love." Fred said jokingly. Becca shook her head and Ron's smile faded then he looked away.
"How about that breakfast I promised you, Ron?" Becca asked, she wanted to get away from the twins but wanted to be nice about it. Ron obviously understood because he smiled at her.
"I was wondering when you would bring that up, I'm starving!" Ron said and walked over to her.
"Come on, Harry." Becca said and he got up, he put the cloak in his room and joined them.
They finally arrived at the Great Hall, Percy, Becca and Harry on one side and Ron, the twins and the other Gryffindor girl on the other side. Then the teachers came out and the Head of houses sat at their house tables with the students left behind.
"Merry Christmas!" Dumbledore greeted as he sat down at the Head Table with the teachers who didn't have houses. A couple people said it back but Becca and Harry were quiet.
"Something wrong, Mr. Potter, Miss Black?" McGonagall asked sitting next to Ron. Becca looked up at her with cold eyes.
"Notice someone missing?" Becca asked coldly, McGonagall seemed unaffected by this but Harry saw in her eyes were pain and regret.
"Becca, leave it. Merry Christmas, professor." Harry said, Becca opened her mouth in surprise that Harry said that.
"Harry, I'm not just going to leave it. Hermione is my best friend, yours too if you forgot!" Becca said, her voice rising with anger.
"Of course I haven't forgotten, Beccs. But its Christmas, Hermione's probably having a good time with her parents." Harry said trying to calm her down.
"No!" Becca yelled, getting everyone's attention. "This is your fault! She might never come back and if she doesn't, I'm blaming you!" Becca yelled at McGonagall, she got up and walked out leaving a very stunned Great Hall.
"What's she talking 'bout Hermione might not come back?" Ron asked through mouthfuls of food.
"Her parents are thinking of pulling her out of Hogwarts because the accident. Becca's taking it really hard, Hermione being her closest friend." Harry said, Ron dropped whatever he was eating and turned to an equally stunned McGonagall.
"Can they do that? Take her out against her will?" Ron asked a little louder than he anticipated, everyone turned their attention to McGonagall.
"I'm afraid, Mr. Weasley, they can." She said and left the Hall. Luke got up and walked out of the hall, slamming the doors open making some people jump.
"He's got a temper." Percy said and went back to his food.
"We should go find her." Ron said to Harry, they both left the Hall unaware that someone was watching their every move.
