Chapter 3

Hermione rushed out of bed when she saw the time and silently cursed Lily for not waking her, she knew that Lily probably wanted to let her get some sleep but now she was sooo late. She quickly grabbed a shirt and skirt that were slightly shorter and tighter than she would normally wear but she guessed that the Hermione from this time did wear this. She threw them on and dragged a brush through her hair which she also guessed that the Hermione from this time spelled permanently since her hair was in loose curls rather than untamed frizz.

She ran down the stairs and through the hallways of the school before she came to the two huge double doors and she knew that breakfast wasn't over yet and she sighed in relief. If she was late she was late, that didn't bother her so much anymore but she was starving. She took a deep breath and closed her eyes for a second knowing that in a moment all eyes would be on her.

She grasped the one of the two doors and pushed it but unsurprisingly thanks to her luck both doors swung open and banged against the wall making her cringe at the loud noise as all eyes looked at her. She knew that Dumbledore must have been in the middle of telling them all about her so she quickly made her way to the Gryffindor table and sat beside Lily everyone's eyes still following her.

"Ah Miss Granger, I was just telling everyone about your unfortunate predicament" Dumbledore informed her and she nodded smiling slightly at him and he turned back to the students "Well, as I said while you might know Miss Granger she may not know you. It's difficult to explain but it's almost like memory loss so just be aware that she doesn't remember any of you" he warned them before he moved onto other matters and then the feast appeared and the talking started up.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Hermione asked Lily but she wasn't mad.

Lily shrugged "You looked tires Hermione, I thought I'd let you sleep" she said as she smiled and Hermione smiled back.

"Well, thanks" she said.

"So are you looking forward to it?" Lupin asked with amusement and Hermione frowned.

"Look forward to what?" she asked in confusion.

"All the curious stares, the whisper, the guys constantly trying to get with you?" James clarified with an amused smile.

"They better not" Sirius muttered and James full out laughed at him expression.

"They won't really" Hermione said and they all gave her looks "Will they?" she asked slightly fightened.

"Oh yeah" the four of them chorused.

As if on cue one of the guys from the boys from Hufflepuff turned in his seat and almost broke his neck trying to see past a girl who was in his way to get a look at Hermione. She frowned at the blatant ignorance he gave the other girl who obviously liked him but he just kept trying to see around her. When he finally got a glimpse of her he smiled and winked at her and she pulled a disgusted face before he was blocked from view again.

"That was rude" she commented feeling sorry for the poor girl.

"Yes it was, but that's how they're all gonna be" Sirius mumbled into his cup.

"Wasn't that his girlfriend or something?" she asked them and Lily nodded.

"Yup, but he clearly doesn't care if he thinks he has a chance with you" she said with a sympathetic smile as she looked disgusted that he'd do that to his girlfriends, especially for her.

"Shit" James muttered.

"What?" Hermione asked confused once again.

"Looks like Lucius Malfoy has his sights on you too" Lupin stated with a grossed out but sympathetic look on his face. Both Hermione and Sirius looked in his direction as the others were all ready looking and they saw him staring right at her. Hermione held his gaze emotionlessly and he smirked that sickening Malfoy smirk at her and raised an eyebrow but she simply continued to stare and then he also winked at her and it was her turn to raise an eyebrow at him as if to say "Do you really think that's going to work with me" and she saw him chuckled before they both turned away.

"Be careful Hermione, he can be dangerous if he wants something and is refused it" Lily warned her and Hermione nodded.

"I'll be fine, if I could take him on when he's a grow man I'm sure I'll have no problem with the little boy" she said and they laughed a little.

Just then two students approached them and they all smiled at each other before the two new arrivals turned t Hermione as Sirius spoke.

"This is Alice and Frank, you are friends" he informed her and Hermione smiled at them knowing they were Neville's parents.

"Well then hi" she said and they smiled "And I'm sorry I don't remember you" she added and then they laughed and shook their heads.

"Don't worry about it" Frank said smiling as he took Alice's hand.

"Yeah, we were just hoping that maybe you'd want to re-become friends" Alice suggested and Hermione smiled.

"Yeah, sure, I'd love that…I think if I was stuck with this lot constantly I'd die" she teased the marauders and they all protested.

"Hey!" they all chimed as Lily giggled knowing that she hadn't been included in that.

"That cut deep Hermione, reel deep" James said in a fake pained voice and she laughed.

"Yeah, yeah, you'll get over it and live" she said still chuckling.

"Because of you" he muttered quietly and she looked at him as he smiled gently and she smiled back slightly before turning back to Alice and Frank.

"Well what did we usually do?" Hermione asked them.

"We went to the library a lot together, just the three of us" Alice informed her.

"Well alright then. The next homework we get we'll meet in the library yeah?" Hermione suggested.

"Yeah, sounds good, later guys" Frank said as Alice waved and they walked away.

"You knew them?" Lupin asked quietly and Hermione shook her head.

"I knew of them. I knew their son Neville" she told them and they nodded.

"So then, Alice and Frank…" Sirius trailed off.

"They weren't alive" Hermione said gently.

"Right, well hopefully that will change now" Lily said hopefully.

"Yeah, I'll make sure of it" Hermione promised and they smiled at her.

"Well then, how about a day by the lake since classes aren't back on until tomorrow?" James suggested and they all agreed.

"Why am I wearing my uniform then?" Hermione asked herself but Lily laughed "I'm gonna go change, I'll meet you all there" she said and got nods of agreement in return.

When she got back to her dorm she looked through her clothes and saw that she owned quite a few skirts and dresses which she never would have worn before but now she would…another time. instead she grabbed a pair of tight fitted jeans and a plain white spaghetti strapped top with black boots. She dragged her hand through her hair seeing that it was still sitting nicely and then turned to go back out to the common room.

As she was about to leave through the portrait her wrist was grabbed and she was pulled back. When she turned she saw Sirius standing there grinning and she smiled back a little totally confused by what the hell he was grinning at.

"Will you go out with me?" he asked and she sighed.

"Sirius, you know I can't, it'd be weird…sorry but I'm gonna have to say no" she said gently.

He was still grinning like an idiot though "I knew you'd say that" he admitted.

Hermione looked at him confused "Then why'd you ask?" she questioned him.

"Because it's what I'm gonna do ever bloody day until you say yes" he informed her.

She looked at him as though he was crazy "I'm not ever going to say yes Sirius, it's weird and not right of me, I'm sorry" she told him.

"ou say that now, but it'll work" he said determined and she crossed her arms.

"It worked before" he smirked and she raised an eyebrow at him.

"Really?" she asked.

"Kinda…it was that combined with some other things but I said I'd tone it down so I am. I'm only asking you out but once I step it up you'll be dodging my lips every bloody day" he warned her.

"Seriously? This is how you won me over the last time?" she asked finding it hard to believe.

"Yup, my charms and kisses were to hard to resist" he said cockily.

"Uh huh, keep telling yourself that Sirius" she chuckled as she left the common room and began to walk to the lake with him following.

"I'm serious Hermione" he said catching up to her.

"Whatever helps you sleep at night" she said still chuckling a little and he couldn't help but grin a little as he looked at her.

Well, what do you think? :D
