CHAPTER TWO ….

Explanations

Previously….

And then it hit her she had been unconsciously checking out her best friends godfather !

And as she hit her head against the stone wall harshly for her momentary lapse into the land of the crazy, and a voice interrupted her.

"Excuse me miss but a you are standing in front off my office one would presume you are waiting to speak to me, no ? … please follow me" Dumbledore stood in front of her, younger than she has seen him before but still with that trademark twinkle.

She had a hell of a lot of explaining to do...

She Stood there in front of his desk looking into those calm eyes that seem to just penetrate your every thought and feeling.

" so the only thing that I couldn't have comprehended in my life has happened all because mal…. My study partner couldn't get the ingredients right! She continued for the tiniest second she was going to say Malfoy's name, but then that might change the future. How much will it have changed already over her arrival, as these thought plagued her mind Dumbledore spoke " well miss…… never mind I would rather not know as we have no idea what will impact or mould the future foundations. I will enrol you within Hogwarts, 7th year you said yes? I will have you sorted at dinner tonight." He looked at her curiously as if the worlds answer were contained within her mind. And then he stood up slowly and walked to the door, ah miss…. I am very sorry what would you like to be called"

Hermione stood there stumped… "Miss Hermione Granger " There was no point of lying as Sirius already knew her real name and would look a little susses if she changed it now.

"Well Miss Granger, a word of caution. Don't get to involved of the lives around you no matter how tempting the future must unfold, and you cannot change the future. You understand ?"

"Yes sir" Hermione replied automatically no matter how had she may want to save Sirius of Remus, To change an event like that may cause the fall of Voldermort to never happen or the birth of Harry. She wouldn't do it, but friends ? That would be unavoidable right ?

As she entered the great hall all eyes moved with her and the hall fell to a eerie silence. Professor Dumbledore had announce the arrival of the newest student of Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry, and now was he time to be sorted the divide between the school was shown within this era. Every student leaning over in anticipation, The sorting had was place above her head and without touching her intellectual head the sorting hat bellowed Gryffindor!

And in true Gryffindor tradition the table erupted into cheers and screams of triumph.

As she sat down at the table she looked up and notice those amazing dark brown eyes staring intently at her, "Hi Hermione, right? Didn't catch your name last time round. This is the famous Prongs I was looking for earlier, Prong this is the girl I was telling you about. I knew you had to be new, like I said me and the gang know everyone in the school. This chap here is Remmy well Remus he doesn't like Remmy to much, and this is Peter.

So where are you transferring from?

Hermione sat froze she had never in her life her Sirius talk so much and so fast. And what was amazing she had never imagined him as a 17 year old boy before, he was always Sirius wise and eccentric but never youthful full of life and busting with questions, how much had Azkaban really changed him? I guess she was going to find out.

" Yeah Jane Watson, Sirius Right ? Nowhere I was a home student my mum was a witch but my dad was to overprotective t let me run of to Hogwarts. But I'm 17 now so they let me make the decision, and I wanted to know what all the hype was about" She smiled she over her many Hogwarts years had become a very skilled liar, being friends with Ron and Harry tended to do that to a girl.

"Hi Prongs? Remus, Peter"

James smiled like a Cheshire cat and replied " Names James Really But They all call me Prongs kinda a nickname really. This is Lily Evans me and Lily are heads this year so just give us a shout if you need anything" Lily Evans smiled kindly at her and said " Hi , Its really nice to meet you, I totally understand about your parents by the way my mum and dad were so pleased when they found out but it took a little persuasion to let me come. Oh do you now what classes you'll be taking will you be in our year or …" with that she swiftly shut up and blushed think that she had stuck her foot in it by thinking she might have to study with the first years because of her lack of magical knowledge.

Sirius swiftly butted in by saying " I'm sure you'll be ok wherever your placed ,but unlike Evans I think you'll be with us 7th years" and of course adding his compliantly wink.

…Wait ! Was Sirius Flirting with her? Even in this time yes he maybe be a hormonal 17 year old boy but he could do far better that me she thought.
