Ch 2 Falling Pumpkin Juice
Lily lead Hermione to Gryffindor tower joking and pointing different things out. She talked quite a lot but Hermione didn't mind because she talked about the school and the different people in it. When they reached the tower Lily led Hermione into the girls dorm.
"This is the dorm. There are two other girls who you'll meet at dinner. That is your bed since it seems to have just appeared." Lily said digging in her wardrobe for something to wear.
"Do we always change before dinner?" Hermione asked also rummaging in her trunk.
"Most people do but there are still some that don't" she said pulling out an outfit and taking off her robe. Hermione choose a pair of black bell bottoms and a dark blue roll neck top. Hermione had seen her mother in pictures wearing very similar clothing. She glanced in the mirror and smiled at how much it flattered her figure. She put the clothes in her old school bag and did as Dumbledore said and hid it at the bottom of her trunk.
"Ready?" Lily asked she was wearing a purple vest with a pointed white color shirt under and some jean bell bottoms. Hermione wanted to laugh at such ludicrous fashions but she kept it to herself.
"Yes I'm ready" Hermione said as she again followed the red head out of the dormitory. She made a quick detour to the library which only ended with them leaving a little late for dinner.
It turned out Lily was reader like Hermione and was first in most of her classes the only exception being Severus who was first in the classes she wasn't. Hermione smiled knowing that was going to change. She would be first in every class just like in her time. She smiled in challenge. Her and Lily had quite a bit in common from their favorite books to their muggle remodels. Hermione of course only mentioned role models she knew existed in this time. Lily also wondered how she knew so much about muggles and Hermione just told her that she lived in close proximity to muggles so naturally she lived almost like one herself. They cut their chatter short as they walked into the great hall. Most people didn't really notice them, but when the first catcall was heard people began turning around to get a look. Hermione felt a blush begin to creep up on her cheeks.
"Just ignore them Hermione" Lily said rolling her eyes at what the guys were calling out. She pulled Hermione to the Gryffindor table where they sat next to each other across from two other girls.
"What's that all about?" asked a blonde girl with brown eyes. She was slightly chubby but not horribly so but she was also top heavy. She glanced at Hermione with open curiosity and perhaps a little envy.
"They're stupid guys Mary. This is Hermione by the way she just arrived today. She's Dumbledore's granddaughter."
"Oh really?" the girl beside Mary asked with intrigue. She had brown hair and blue eyes and she was very thin. "I'm Denise by the way" she said offering her hand over the table.
"Nice to meet you, and yes Dumbledore is my grandpa. I was tutored at home before but I decided to come to an actual school. I wanted to meet people my age who were like me." she said.
"Can I get everyone's attention before we begin dinner" Dumbledore's voice boomed out over the excited chatter. Everyone immediately quieted down. "Now as you all have noticed we have a new student among us today. She is a sixth year Gryffindor. Her name is Hermione Dumbledore and yes she is my granddaughter." he said whispering suddenly exploded out in the hall.
"Hermione if you would do us the honor of standing so we get a better look at you" Dumbldore said and Hermione complied standing up she smiled around giving a small wave before sitting back down.
"Now I want all of you students to treat her with respect and show her how wonderful Hogwarts truly is. Now dinner" he said clapping his hands once and food filled the plates. Hermione acted surprised for good measure before digging in. She hadn't realized how hungry she was.
"So Hermione was it lonely being at home all the time?" asked Mary through a spoonful of mashed potatoes. Hermione nodded swallowing a bite of her burger.
"It was some of the time. I had friends though Muggles of course but friends nevertheless. They would come get me when they returned from their school and we would go places. They always made me happy but I decided it was time for a change. I wanted to be around other people like myself." Hermione said before stuffing her face again. When the main course was gone Hermione thought she wouldn't be able to touch dessert she was however proven wrong when it appeared. She began pulling a large slice of cheesecake towards but was stopped when someone pulled them self in beside her.
"Scoot down a bit will you?" they asked. Hermione was only able to see the back of a light brown head. She pulled the rest of her dessert towards her and again faced the boy. He was already facing her. He had light brown kind of long tousled hair. It was cute on him and went well with his warm playful brown eyes. He had a handsome face but it wasn't apparent like James and Sirius' were. Hermione knew who this was and it made a warm tingly feeling build in her stomach.
"Hello Hermione my name is Remus. I'm Gryffindors other sixth year prefect." he said his voice light and welcoming.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Remus" Hermione said smiling.
"And I'm James" said Harry's dad who had managed to squeeze in very closely to Lily who looked very displeased.
"Nice to meet you James" Hermione said also smiling at him.
"And I dear Hermione am Sirius" Sirius said taking her hand from across the table and kissing it gently. Hermione wanted to laugh. Her best friends god father was hitting on her, book worm Granger.
"Its nice to meet you Sirius" she said.
"I'm Peter" the rat said from Sirius' far right. He reached his hand out as if her really wanted Hermione to touch it to, but he ended up knocking over her drink. Hermione was thankful for this for she didn't want to touch him. Lily hissed at his clumsiness well the other boys told him off.
"Don't worry guys it's easily solved" Hermione said she took out her wand and waved it at the mess covering her lap. It disappeared instantly.
"See no harm down. Its nice to meet you Peter." Hermione said before taking her fork and taking a bite of her cheesecake. She closed her eyes savoring the taste. She didn't realized that everyone within eyesight was watching her as she slowly ate her cake. The sultry way she chewed and closed her eyes to the way her tongue gently came out of her mouth running over her lips. Hermione had most of the table entranced. When she finished she turned to Remus who swallowed hard.
"So Remus what classes are your favorite?" she asked her future professor with a smile. He swallowed again trying not to stare.
"My favo-" he started a little high pitched he cleared his throat. "My favorite is Defense against the Dark Arts and Charms." he said.
"Really? My favorite is Transfiguration. Animagi fascinate me. I was beginning to learn back home. I had an excellent teacher." Hermione said.
"Well you'll probably like our Transfiguration teacher. She's a bit strict at times but she's an animagus. She turns into a tabby cat." Remus said.
"Really wow!" Hermione said faking her excitement. "Which teacher is she?" Hermione asked glancing up at the head table.
"She's the one on Dumbledore's right." Hermione smiled and McGonagall who had glanced her way smiled back.
"She seems really nice." Hermione said turning back to Remus.
"So Hermione do you like Quidditch?" Sirius asked trying to get her attention.
"No I don't like to fly" Hermione said honestly.
"Well then Hermione that's another thing we have in common." Lily said as she polished off a slice of apple pie. People began leaving the great hall and Hermione got up stretching a bit.
"Are we ready to go?" she asked sweetly.
"Sure" they all said also getting up. Hermione walked with Lily on one side and Sirius on the other he had his arm draped casually over her shoulder. She continued to walk, ignoring that fact, listening to Remus give his opinion of the teachers. They had just walked out of the great hall when a group of Slytherin's stepped in their path.
"Move Malfoy" Sirius automatically said taking his arm off Hermione's shoulder. He however wasn't listening.
"Good evening Hermione" Malfoy purred. Hermione felt herself blush the man was even more handsome than his son. Hermione had always had a school girl crush on Malfoy sr. she wouldn't ever admit it though.
"Good evening" she said willing the blush to leave her cheeks.
"I wanted to introduce my self to Hogwarts latest beauty. I am Lucius Malfoy" he said extending his hand. Hermione smiled giving it to him. His touch was cool and electrifying. Hermione knew he was dangerous and it only made him more appealing. He brought her hand to his lips in a quick kiss and Hermione felt her knees go weak.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Lucius" she purred out his name liking the way it felt on her lips.
"I am currently Head boy so if you ever need or want anything don't hesitate to find me. I'm always available." he said suggestively.
"Thank you I'll keep that in mind." Hermione said conquering the blush.
"Until next time, Hermione" he said and he pulled out a red rose from behind his back. He handed it to Hermione before strolling down to the dungeons with his followers. She sighed staring after him.
"What a jack ass" Sirius hissed.
"What's wrong Sirius bummed cause you didn't think of that one your self" Lily said smirking in a Slytherin way. "Come on Hermione"
"Wow Lily he is sexy. Is he always that charming?" Hermione asked truly curious and flattered.
"Yeah Lucius is never really intentionally mean even for a Slytherin. He does however demand respect and he deserves it. He's a good role model really political. I wouldn't be surprised if one day he became Minister of Magic." Lily said the group of boys just mumbled behind them angrily.
"He's that good huh?" Hermione said smiling dreamily.
"He is a bit of a player though Hermione so you have to be careful not to get in too deep" Lily warned.
"I know Lily I have a friend like him back home." Hermione said. They had reached the portrait hole and Lily said the password.
"Are you excited about classes tomorrow Hermione?" Remus asked bringing her back to earth.
"Yes absolutely and I have Transfiguration first thing. I'm so excited!" Hermione squealed. The boys took advantage of her lapse back to earth and they conned her into playing a few games of exploding snap before Lily demanded they all go to bed.
"Thanks Lily I was getting kind of tired" Hermione said undressing and putting on her night gown. She climbed into bed ready to knock out when Mary and Denise waltzed into the room. Mary walked straight up to Hermione's bed and glared down at her.
"Sirius is mine" she bit out. Hermione raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not interested in Sirius. I have my eyes on better things" Hermione said smirking as she put her rose to her nose.
"Who gave you that?" Denise asked coming for a closer look.
"Lucius Malfoy" Lily said standing beside Denise.
"Are you serious?" Mary asked in disbelief.
"Believe it Mary" Hermione said cockily.
"But he never dates Gryffindors!" she said staring at Hermione in envy.
"I guess he does now" Lily said returning to her bed. Denise followed suite and after a second and a glare Mary went to her bed too. Hermione fell asleep that night oddly satisfied.
