After dinner Sirius, Harry, Snape, Hermione and Remus all floo'd to Dumbledore's office to ask permission to use the penasive. He was more then happy to comply. "Can I see my mum first?" Hermione asked quietly.
"Of course," Sirius whispered. He, Remus and Dumbledore removed some memories and Hermione entered the penasive with her father.
First Memory
Hermione was standing in a compartment on the Hogwarts express. There was a girl sitting in the corner of the compartment, two boys on the opposite seat by the door and another right opposite the girl with his face in a book. The one with the face in the book Hermione recognised to be Remus. The other two boys Hermione realised were James Potter and her father Sirius Black. The girl looked like her but her hair was strait. The girl had strait brown hair, a small nose, slightly large front teeth but nothing majour, small cheekbones and what really got Hermione was the eyes. They were choclate brown and looked so kind and loving but sad all at once. Hermione wanted to reach out and touch the mother she never knew but she knew she could not. "Hi there I'm James Potter," James said looking at Remus.
"Remus Lupin," the boy mumbled.
"Nice to meet you. And who are you young lady?" James asked.
"Marlone Mckinnon," the girl replied.
"Cool. This here is my mate Sirius Black," James said pointing to the child Sirius who was talking with Remus.
"Nice to meet you all," she said.
"Would you like to be our friend?" Sirius asked Remus and Marline.
"Yes please," Marline said but Remus just sat there stunned.
"You want to be friends with me?" Remus asked.
"No one has ever wanted to be friends with me before," Remus admitted.
"Well we are the first," James said smiling.
Second Memory
A sixteen year old James, Remus, Sirius, Pettgirew, Lily and Marline were lying by the lake at Hogwats enjoying the sunshine. "Man am I glad that's over," Sirius said pulling Marline to him and kissing the top of her head.
"Well if you had revised like the rest of us you wouldn't have paniked," Remus replied rolling his eyes. Sirius scrunched up his nose.
"Revise? Have you gone insane Moony?" he asked.
"Obviously he has Padfoot. Revise my arse," James Potter replied.
"Prongs if you want to the win the heart of one Lily Evans. Don't swear in her pressnace," Remus said going back to reading his book.
"You guys," Marline sighed.
"Yes my love?" Sirius asked looking at Marline.
"I love you," Marline said.
"As I love you," Sirius replied and kissed her on the lips.
There were many other memories that Hermione witnessed of her parents. Right up until the death of Marline. Hermione was glad she could learn so much in such a short time. Hermione stayed out of the memories of James and Lily but Sirius, Remus and Severus went with him. Hermione stood by the window in her headmasters office and looked out to where her teenage parents had once lain with their firneds enjoying the summer sun. Soon everyone arrived back and Harry was in tears. He had probably seen an image he was not ment to see.
"Sorry, I honestly didn't know that one was there," Snape defended holding his arms up. Infact Hermione realised all the men had tears in their eyes. Hermione sighed and sat them all down.
"Calm down," she said soothingly. Supprisingly they all did.
When Harry put his memories in the penasive he stayed out with Hermione whilest all the adults went in. When they returned all were very pale. "Harry why didn't you tell anyone about how they were treating you?" Sirius asked as he pulled his Godson into a hug.
"No one would belive me," Harry whispered.
"I would have done and so would have Remus. You could have told either of us last year or over the summer," Sirius said as he hugged the boy to him.
"I was scared and ashamed," Harry admitted.
"Why?" Sirius asked.
"Because no one wants to know their little saviour is useless. I can't even deffend myself against mu uncle. What good am I going to do against Voldermort?" Harry asked.
"Harry. . ."
"No Sirius listen to me!" Harry screeched. Sirius sat down and pulled Harry over his lap. He applied five swates to the bottom and Harry calmed down.
"Harry against Voldermort you will have a wand against Dursley you did not. But that does not make you weak," Sirius said.
