Hey, Diary!
Chapter 14
"Sirius, you know that everything happens for a reason. Maybe this is…"
"Not this! This is completely different. This isn't supposed to happen." Sirius sat down. He had spent the last five minutes trying to convince Albus Dumbledore that Hermione had done something wrong.
Standing up, Dumbledore walked towards Fawkes, his phoenix, and muttered something to him. Fawkes disappeared.
"Fawkes is going to investigate. Tell me, Sirius, why do you feel so…strongly about this?"
"Azkaban. I remembered leaving her, the pain and love. Her eyes, filled with tears, her whispering goodbye. Not looking at me again." Tears rolled down Sirius' cheeks.
"Sirius, you know you have to talk to…" Dumbledore started.
"Who! If I talk to myself, I die. And I don't think Hermione would want me to interrupt her time with… him."
"You." Dumbledore corrected.
"Excuse me?"
"'He' is you. Sirius, Hermione Granger has done nothing wrong. Any problems you have with this…situation, should be discussed with her."
"You try to pry her away from hi- me." Sirius grumbled, moving towards the fireplace in Dumbledore's office.
"Sirius," Dumbledore called after the retreating man. "Good luck."
"Remus Lupin's house," Sirius called, throwing a handful of Floo Powder into the fire.
"Sirius Black! What the hell was that about?" Remus yelled as Sirius landed in his kitchen fireplace.
"Remus, trust me on this. Where's the parchment? And a quill and a bottle of ink?" Sirius asked, opening draws.
"Sirius, you just flooed to Hogwarts. Who are you going to write to now?"
"Hermione," Sirius muttered. "Aha!" Taking a piece of parchment, a pill and a half empty bottle of ink, Sirius walked over to the kitchen table and started to write:
Hermione,
As intelligent as you are, I am sure you understand why I am writing to you as opposed to visiting you. If I meet my younger self, the timeline would be irreversibly damaged.
I need to meet wit you, in person, without my younger self or Harry or Ron.
WE NEED TO TALK.
Owl me back with a time and place.
Sirius.
"And why, may I ask, are you almost demanding a meeting with your godson's best friend?" Remus asked, reading over his friend's shoulder.
"I can't tell you. You wouldn't understand."
"You seeing her?" Remus asked, ready to strike.
"Like I said, you wouldn't understand." Sirius replied.
"You are! You're dating a girl twenty years younger than you. What are you going to tell Harry? You're dating his best fried!"
"I was. Basically? Really, what happened was we started talking through time, when I was seventeen," Sirius stretched out the last word. "She then brought me through time, so 17 year old me is now here and now. Well, at Hogwarts. So I went to Hogwarts to persuade Dumbledore to send me back, that Hermione had broken the rules at the very least. I now need to meet her to make her see that it's wrong, to send me back before I get too attached. Make sense?"
"What the hell?" Remus asked, dumbfounded. "Are you mad? Sirius, this has got to be the stupidest thing you have ever made up! That includes the time that you said that a girl was holding a conversation with you through a piece of parch- wait. That was Hermione?" Sirius nodded. "Through twenty years?" Another nod. "Ok, this is just way too weird!"
"You're telling me. Can I use your owl?"
"Sure," Remus replied, sinking into a seat at the table.
A/N DON'T KILL ME! I have so much more to do in life! I'M SOOOOOO SORRY! First of all it was school, homework and coursework and then I couldn't use my computer because it had a dust sheet on it.
On a lighter note, Adelia-hp has asked if she can translate "Hey, Diary!" into French! Ok, maybe I shouldn't have had chocolate for breakfast. But it's still a great idea, an honour and an educational opportunity (I'm doing my French GCSE next year).
Oh well, I'm now going to work on the plan to the fic I plan to write after I've finishedthis (a Harry Potter-Artemis Fowl X-over, like or not?).
Also, I apologise to those who read "I Know Something You Don't Know", I took it down because I had lost all inspiration. If I ever have more ideas for it, I will repost it! PROMISE
Ttyl,
