"Right, well good night then." Remus jumped into his bed as did Harry.
Sirius poked his head back out, "James you don't even sleep here, that's Marks bed now!"
James poked his head out, "Lily kicked me out…"
Harry chuckled.
"I wonder how Mark is going to feel," Remus said curiously.
"Maybe you should let him go sleep with Lily."
"NEVER!"
"You and Mark are going to share a bed…"
"No Remus, you and Mark are going to share a bed!"
Harry smiled to himself and closed his eyes.
A feeling in his stomach told Harry that a lot of things were about to happen, he couldn't leave, because he had to make a difference, he had to change things, didn't he?
The next morning when they woke, Harry felt something cold in his hands, when he looked at them it seemed to be full of green goo; he wiped on his bed and made a disgusted face.
"You have to be kidding me!" Sirius' voice rang.
Harry saw his godfather looking in amazement. "You didn't even cringe!"
He shrugged. "What was it?"
Remus chuckled, "Troll bogies; don't ask how they got a hold of them."
Harry laughed, "Yeah, I've touched troll bogies before."
Sirius eyed him, "I don't trust someone who doesn't cringe from troll goo."
Remus rolled his eyes, "That's a lie; he probably admires you right now."
"Oh alright, I do."
Harry laughed again. He got up and dressed himself, still very aware of what he had to tell Hermione at breakfast.
He took his seat in between Sirius and Adelina, Adelina was looking at her plate the entire time while Sirius stuffed his mouth. Jade and Hermione were the only two missing, Remus, James, Lily and Peter were all there. It was only in a matter of minutes that Jade appeared with Hermione at her heel.
Hermione seemed to be hiding her face. Jade leaned in to the group, avoiding Lily, "Mission: soul mates, in action." When Jade moved Harry was shocked. Hermione looked amazing, just like in fourth year. Though she didn't have a gown on Jade had elegantly put her hair in a clip, letting strands fall from the back and on the sides of her face. She smiled with a girly laugh, "This feels weird."Harry noticed the look on his father's face, as if he had been slapped with a hot iron rod.James stood up and walked over to Hermione, Lily just staring. "Wow, Granger."Hermione giggled, and Harry smiled. Hermione was letting loose and he knew he would get her to understand. James pushed Remus aside to make room for him and Hermione.Harry noticed the look on both Sirius and Remus' faces. He didn't like them…
James was staring, like a lost puppy. Hermione leaned in, "James, you're over-acting."
James shook his head blinking, "Oh-right, sorry."
Hermione looked at Remus, whose eyes were glued to her; maybe he's looking at Jade.
Sirius was openly staring, with his mouth half open. "You're going to catch flies Black."
Lily had said this, standing up, shutting Sirius' mouth and walking off.
Jade smiled, "Initiation: passed."
James hadn't taken his eyes of Hermione, who said, "James, she's gone."
He shook his head in the same unaware way and said, "Right, just making sure."
When breakfast continued there was an odd type of silence from Sirius and James.
Remus was almost quite normal, though silent at some points.
It seemed odd to Hermione, how- it almost was as if- every boy from every table was staring at her, even Snape. What did Jade do…?
When breakfast was over, it was as if Hermione was a movie star.
At least a dozen boys had walked up to her at some point or another on her way to her first class. Hermione was walking side-by-side with James and Jade when a tall, quite handsome Ravenclaw boy walked up. "Hi, you're Hermione right?"Hermione nodded, "Yes, that's me.""Yes, you, and how cute you are too!"Hermione blushed, "Thanks."
Jade smirked, "I don't want to be late." Jade walked off.
"I'm-"
James put a hand up, "Give it up, McGregory."The boy rolled his eyes, "I'm Kevin by the way. Kevin McGregory, though you probably know that by now." He gave James a dirty look.
"Hi, Kevin," Hermione began, but James pulled at Hermione's sweater. "Hermione, we'll be late."
"Oh- I'll see you later then, bye Kevin."
Kevin waved at Hermione and James groaned, "Hermione, you don't honestly fancy that toe rag, do you?"
Hermione laughed, "James, I just met him, how can I fancy him?"
James sighed, "Good, Kevin is a total a-" Hermione put a hand up, "Spare me."
They finished the walk and to Hermione's surprise she ended up sitting with James.James, Hermione, and Remus were at one desk. Hermione turned her head to her left to see Lily, Harry and Jade. On her right was Adelina, Sirius and a rather hyper looking girl.
Around she also saw Snape, and a few familiar faces she couldn't point out. When the professor walked into the class Hermione mentally laughed. He was wearing a vivid blue vest beneath his robes.
He was short, chubby and had a button nose. His paper white skin and bursting blue eyes didn't help his appearance. He seemed in a daze for a moment, and then snapped back.
"Good morning, class. Today we'll be examining the art of… err… "He looked inside a bag and pulled out a piece of paper. "Today…. Yada yada…. Oh, yes, Unicorns!"
James leaned over, "Greenfire, isn't our usual teacher, he must be filling in. Quite the push-over he is."
Hermione smiled, "James, you torture this poor old man, don't you?"
James shrugged, "I use to… Sirius still does!"
Hermione looked at him oddly, the way he had said it.. "To those who don't know me, and to those who do," he eyed James. "My name is Professor Alexander Greenfire."
He straightened his robes. "I'd appreciate it if all students would take History of Magic serious this year!"He eyed Sirius. "Though some of you are doing a wonderful job," he looked at Lily and Remus. "Some of you are sloppy." Peter and Adelina shrugged at each other.
"Now, please turn to page four hundred and eight of your books."
Pages were heard flapping as the students rushed to find their page. When Hermione found her page it was titled 'pure, untouched magic.'
There was a picture of a unicorn under the full moon's light. Beneath the picture is said: 'Unicorn's are the only pure magic out there. You can never steal its magic, you can only kill it. This is a task for those who have no soul… and heart.'
Hermione sighed. She looked at Harry who was nodding at his book. She smiled. A plain white piece of parchment appeared in front of Hermione. She examined it and then words began to appear.
JP-Just kill me now why don't you Greenfire?
SB-It'd be too simple.
LE-Stop sending me these stupid notes you three!
PP-Lily, stop being so mean!
SB-Yeah!
JP-Yep…
Hermione hadn't seen things like this. She smiled; James was kind of nodding his head at her. He leaned in, "Just write and it'll appear to all of us," he whispered.
LE-So, who else is connected to this stupid thing,
HG-Me.HP-Me too.RL- I'm here too.
JG-Don't forget me!
LE-Where is Adelina?
SB-staring at my bottom!
AM-I was not! LE-So, what was the point of the notes?
SB-Evans, will you go out with me?
JP-…..LE-…..
SB- Oh fine be that way you silly woman. LE- I'm not silly Sirius, you are.JP- That's true….
Lily turned her head and looked at him, and for a second Hermione swore she saw a smile, though it turned into a glare. James began making eyes at Hermione, and she understood perfectly.
HG- James this is quite the interesting piece of magic.
JP-This? Nah, Sirius and I have some stuff that'll blow you off the astronomy tower.HG-… James, what about if you and I go to the astronomy tower together? JP-…. Of course! I'd been wondering when you'd ask! But how about Hogsmeade instead?JG-Hooray for them!RL-Yes, yes.SB-Yeah... what everHP- Wonderful.SB-ha-ha, James, isn't it odd how Harry and your name look so similar. JP-Well, it automatically shows your first and last initial; Harry Poetry.
SB-Yes, but I feel like its Harry Potter, that'd be weird… Hermione looked at Harry, I finally understand Dumbledore now.SB -So… Lily, want to go out now?LE- No.SB- …Just was checking.
RL-I'm getting terrible grades in this class, I have to pay attention.SB-You're doing fine.Hermione watched as Remus tore the note in half and the conversation disappeared.
LE-Me as well. Bye now.Lily followed Remus' suit. Not long after Adelina and Jade did the same. Peter followed Sirius, leaving just Hermione and James.
Hermione tore her note as well. Not long after James did the same. When class was over James offered to walk Hermione to her next class. "We're going to the same class!"James grinned, "Exactly my point."
Hermione nodded, "Let's make this look good then." She smiled and nudged James a bit as they walked. They continued with a real conversation that brought interest to everyone around. "James, you must be joking, you have no idea what a muggle television is?"
James nodded at Hermione's laughter, "Both my parents are pureblood, I've no idea what a teleyphone is either!" Hermione smiled, "Well, I'll just have to be the one to show you, won't I?"
James nodded, "Yes, I s'pose you will be." His eyes had this look that Hermione recognized. She ignored the stare and took in her surroundings. Hermione deep down inside wondered what was happening in the future, if anything had changed, how she had probably ruined her own future if not everyone. Though Hermione knew better, the same feeling that grasped Harry got to her as well, that mystery telling her there was so much more to uncover. It was that feeling that made Hermione stay, that confusion that made her agree to this ridiculous plan.That desire to know everything, like she always does, those made her continue on with Harry's 'whims'
Finally they arrived at their next class, "I dread coming to charms, I swear," Was heard from a passing Ravenclaw student. Hermione had changed seating arrangements, sitting with Jade and Adelina. Before class started Sirius changed seats with Adelina, leaving her to sit with James and Harry. Lily and Peter walked in, Lily ignoring every word that came from Peter's mouth. Remus was trailing behind with an amused look on his face. The same Ravenclaw girl from History of Magic was seated with Lily and Remus. Peter made his way to an area where a bunch of Gryffindor girls were giggling; once he sat down they stopped. The class began with a short man coming in. He looked almost identical to Flitwick but had a deep voice compared to Flitwick's. He tapped his wand, "Today class we'll be practicing the…." Sirius leaned in, "He's always forgetting the lessons, and I hear his son is taking over soon."
"Ah ha! We'll be practicing the Silencing charm… Yes... Wait… Eh, that'll do… You need to brush up!"Everyone in class got quite a good grade that day, though the class ended before it even ended. "Okay, everyone goes to dinner now... Or lunch… ""But, professor Lockridge, we still have ten minutes left," said that same mysterious Ravenclaw girl."Ah, yes, Ms. Woodfairy…. Well, take that time to think over your studies."Before their professor could even step down, half the class was already out of the door.James and Sirius had stuck Hermione between them like a sandwich, while Remus was chatting with Jade beside Sirius. Lily, Adelina and the Ravenclaw girl were behind talking. Peter just trailing behind like the tail he truly was."Honestly, Lily, he's getting worse," Said the Ravenclaw girl. Hermione looked back at them. The girl had long black hair, tan, and brown eyes. She looked like she was fit. "Monica, stop being a pest, the man is doing fine!"
"Is not! I agree with Muffy. He's getting too old to remember lessons, though ten minutes of free time, not bad." Adelina had said this. "Evans, be reasonable, he mixed up our essays last year."
Lily shrugged, "We both have fine grades, and it wasn't that terrible."
Peter ran past them, "I have to use the loo!" He disappeared around a corner leaving a silence that was awkward, but quickly they resumed their conversation.The girl named Monica sighed, "Evans… You gave an essay on cheering charms, does that sound like something I'd study? " Adelina laughed. "Merlin's Woodfairy, you remind me of James sometimes." James's head flew around, "Ah, now Lily, giving her compliments like that won't change her attitude." Monica high fived James, "Aww James, if you weren't seeker for Gryffindor I might just have to marry you."
"Impossible," said James looking ahead, they were still walking, making their way to the Great Hall. "I'm taken sweet Monica."
"By who?""Our very own Miss Granger."Monica sped up now next to James, "Is this Her?"
Hermione nodded, "Nice to meet you.""No, nice to meet you! James finally with someone besides Lily and a hundred foot restraining order."Monica stopped Hermione and pulled her into a hug, "There is a god!"
Hermione giggled, "Oh, well hello to you too!"
When Monica released her from the tight embrace, "Sorry, I just never thought it would happen, did you Lily?" Lily just shrugged, "It was just a relief to me. I s'pose." Lily quickened her pace. "Don't want to be late!"
Monica looked at James, "I think I smell jealousy!"
Jade nodded, "We don't even have another class, for, what, an hour?"
James shrugged, "Do I care?" Everyone, including James burst with laughter. "Ok, ok fine, I do!"Hermione nudged him, "Don't say it so loud!" She smiled at him. "What time is it?" Monica had been shaking a muggle watch and cursing under her breath. "About time for you to leave," Jade sighed, as if that is exactly what Monica wanted to hear.
Monica smiled, "Excellent, I'll see you all at another time then. Give Lily my best!"Monica sped up, ran off, turned a corner and vanished. Harry was the first one to question her part with the group."Oh, Monica," James laughed. "She's- well… She's actually my cousin by marriage." James started off.Remus chuckled, "I'm fond of Monica, she's in Ravenclaw, and so you may have noticed she's not with us very much. Sorry that you just met her."
Sirius nodded, "The first Ravenclaw to get a detention for skipping class." Sirius said it with pride.Remus laughed, "She's not like James and Sirius-"Jade interrupted him as they made their way into the Great Hall. "She's exactly like them; she should just have a-"Remus put a hand over her mouth.
Remus smiled at Hermione, "Monica is quite the trouble maker, but being a Ravenclaw she's also-"
"A geek," Adelina interjected. Remus nodded, "I prefer the term Bookworm, but to each her own."
They came to Gryffindor table; each of them took a seat and continued their conversation.
James shrugged, "She's probably the only other girl in Hogwarts, besides Adelina, that Sirius hasn't dated." Sirius nodded, "It would have been like dating James… and Remus." Hermione smirked, "She's like Adelina, or Jade?" Remus shook his head, "No, you won't see as much or Monica, she's very occupied these days."Hermione questioned with a look towards James. He answered with, "She has a boyfriend."Remus nodded, "She spent a lot of time with us, but since last term when she met-"Remus made a disgusted look"-Maxwell."
James, Remus, Sirius and Adelina all made the same disgusted face. Jade chuckled, "Maxwell is in Slytherin, and he's quite nice actually. Plays quidditch, just like her, smart, funny-"James spat out "Evil!" "-That and he treats her wonderfully."
"Evil?" Harry asked. They all nodded. "He's known to be a follower, of that idiot muggle killer."Hermione looked shocked. "It's a rumour, but rumours don't start out of thin air," Adelina said.
Remus looked upset and changed the subject, "So, Lily's face, did you see it?" James nodded, "I never thought I'd see her look so- shocked."
Adelina picked up the conversation while everyone filled their plates. "Hermione, you look stunning. Every hormonal boy in Hogwarts was staring at you today." Hermione blushed. "That reminds me, Jade, what did you do to me?"
Jade looked away, pretending to stare at the teacher's table. Hermione made an annoyed noise, "Jade?"Jade looked at her, "Oh fine, I might have added some extra umphf to you... not that you needed it." Jade smiled, "You flirt."
James nodded, "Yes, she was..." He put his hand up in a feminine way, giggled and said, "Oh, Kevin... Yes I'm Hermione..." James giggled in a girly voice and Hermione nudged him. "James, be quiet!"James smiled at her, put his arm around her and whispered in her ear, "You know I don't mean any of it, Hermione."
Though a rush of colour came to Hermione's face, she soon watched Lily sit down. She giggled and pushed James away, "James, stop it."
Lily looked disgusted, "No offense, but save it for the grounds if you must."Hermione looked at Lily with sympathy, "Sorry, Lily, he just is so-"James leaned in and tickled her. "-He's just so charming." Hermione looked at him and they grinned. Lily rolled her eyes.
Hermione looked to Harry who was half smiling and half disgusted. Hermione missed Ron, and wondered what was going on in the present. Before Hermione could say anything else, James tapped her shoulder.
"Hermione, want to go for a walk with me?"
Hermione nodded, standing up and taking his hand. James pulled her off onto the grounds.
