So…many…cookies…*munch munch munch* Hello there, missed me? I bet you're like 'this arsehole has yet to update this story yet he updated his other stories and started a new one!' Well what can I say, my mind is always full of ideas and stories, heck I've started three different books and three different movie scripts of which only one is partly completed, the other is just an outline and the third one is the only one that is actually getting written. Anyways back to Restart Button Year 1, this chapter is a kind of setup to a much longer chapter that will jump a little here and there as I skip days and some weeks in favor of not going day by day…cuz that would be boring…enjoy and REVIEW because it makes me warm and fuzzy inside and makes people want to read this story when they see 120 reviews or more with only 4 chapters, which reminds me, thank you to all of you who have reviewed, I love you all!

Harry sat in the library trying to concentrate on his potions essay but found it a little hard to do so when his focus was on Hermione. He wanted her to be happy and he was hoping that hanging out with girls and talking about girly things would make her happy. He forced himself back to the essay on front of him as he knew Hermione would want him to. He looked back into his text and began to read but as he read he noticed that it felt like he had already read the book and was rereading. He found the feeling odd because he was sure he had not read the entirety of the potions book.

"Strange isn't it?"

Harry looked up to find a young man looking at him. He seemed familiar as though they had met before though he couldn't quite remember ever meeting a person quite like the man, he seemed to glow perfection, "I'm sorry?"

"The feeling like you've read it before but you're sure you haven't. Happens to only those we send back with 'time release' memories. It was an insurance policy of the after-life to make sure the future doesn't change too drastically from where it's supposed to head, although it did go wrong for about 40 years but let's forget about my minor mistake shall we, let's talk about you!" The young man sat across from Harry, "so I see you've already set the board up for the kill in the Hermione situation, very nicely I might add. The board has already been set for Daphne and Tracy; you can thank yours truly for that. Fleur and Gabrielle situation is impossible at this point, I mean France is a bit far from here but we can work on that the summer of third year…Luna should be a challenge next year but a workable challenge."

Harry stared at young man wondering what the hell he was talking about although the names did for some reason ring a bell, "I'm sorry….who are you?"

The young man smiled, "Leon, ring a bell?"

The name struck a chord in his memory but once again Harry was at a loss of where he had heard the name it seemed like he met the man years ago, "well don't worry about it, you shouldn't anyways. So like I said routine checkup, everything looks good, and in the case of any and all schoolwork, go with your gut instinct no matter what, trust me." The young man stood and started to walk away

"Wait, what are you talking about?" Harry asked

Leon stopped and smiled at him, "Look forget everything I said and just remember this, go with your gut."

Harry nodded watched the young man walk away. He watched young man greeted someone at the door and walk away laughing only for Daphne and Tracy to show up with an absolutely gorgeous girl with them. He stared at the new girl slack jawed and as he looked closer at the girl he began to notice small things that reminded all too much of Hermione, in fact the more he looked at her the more she realized that she looked exactly like Hermione except with wavy hair and a glow about her that almost made her look like the young man that had just walked away.

"Merlin, Hermione you look amazing," Harry said finally finding his words

Hermione blushed beautifully as she smiled, "Thank you Harry, who was that?"

"Who was who?" Harry asked a bit dumbly

"The Slytherin you were just talking to," Hermione said.

"Yea, we've never seen him before either," Tracy said as she sat down next to Harry on his left side leaving his right side to Hermione who slid right in. Daphne looked a bit disappointed but sat in front of Harry and gave a brilliant smile.

Harry was having a hard time following anything as he just sort of tuned out everything and focused on the sight before him, the girls were making him go brain dead but he quickly recovered, "Um, Leon is his name…"

"When did you meet him?" Daphne asked

"I don't really know," Harry said as he finally brought his train of thoughts away from the girls and started to think, "I felt like I've met him before."

"Well I'm sure me and Daphne will meet him soon, he is a Slytherin after all," Tracy said as she pulled out her potions book and opened it.

"So what do you have done?" Hermione asked as she pulled out her essay.

"Um well so far I've been able to identify the elements of the…"

Harry, Hermione, Tracey and Daphne had spent the next hour gathering the information they needed and writing the essay. As it turned out Daphne knew more about potions than Hermione did in terms of the actual brewing while Hermione still had the advantage of knowing why certain ingredients went together and why they were so important. With both of them guiding the worked diligently and quickly. Harry found himself correcting them ever so often by the surprise all three of the girls and every time Harry tried to recall where he had read the information he found himself at a lost on how exactly he knew it.

They had just finished their essays when lunch came around and they packed up to leave for the Great Hall. They talked about random subjects never really settling one topic but hitting many. They found themselves to be the recipients of a lot of questioning looks and glances but they ignored them for the most part. House biases were going to be a little difficult to break but it was something that they had determined that they were going to have to break regardless. In all honestly it didn't really make much sense why Slytherin was so isolated but as Daphne and Tracey explained It, Slytherin isolated itself and their house head didn't help in discriminating against anyone who wasn't a Slytherin.

"But why doesn't Professor Dumbledore stop him or at least address the situation?" Hermione asked, "I mean it's obvious to everyone that he does it on purpose."

"He's too valuable to Dumbledore," Harry said almost on automatic, "although once a death eater, Professor Snape switched sides near the end of the war and was an essential part in Voldemort's downfall. That coupled with the fact that Professor Snape knows too much information for both sides of the last war bends anything into his favor; which is why he gets away with so much. In essence though Snape owes his life to Dumbledore, Professor Snape just happens to hold the cards in his favor."

Harry found himself at the end of some surprised looks from Daphne, Tracey and Hermione. To which he himself was not at all surprised to see as he himself was surprised at the information that he had just revealed.

"Professor Dumbledore," Hermione corrected him as is it was within her nature, "and how do you know all of this?"

Harry's mind was racing, something wasn't right, how was he pulling up information? He knew for a fact that he was not aware of where he had gotten the information but only that he knew it for sure that it was entirely true, "um, doesn't everyone know?" he tried to pull it off thinking quickly before he finally found something to attach the information to, "I was reviewing some public records from the ministry and there was a case file for Snape as he was being tried as a Death eater and it says that Dumbledore vouched for him on the record. I just pieced the rest of it together as it was the only way that it explains the situation…" Harry prayed that it would work…

"Professor Dumbledore and Professor Snape, Harry," Hermione corrected once again, "well it's a good thing you took an interest in the law and cases, thinking of being coming an auror or lawyer?"

Harry couldn't help but choke back a laugh; Hermione was unique, far more than anyone who Harry had met, "I don't know, I think I'm a little young to know what I want to be for the rest of my life Mione."

Harry, Daphne, and Tracey continued to walk before they noticed that Hermione was no longer walking with them. They turned to find her with her mouth slightly ajar, "what is it Hermione?"

Hermione looked at Harry strangely before blushing and smiling, "Nothing, nothing at all." In truth Hermione was on cloud nine as she had gotten her first nickname outside of her family. It was a cute name in her opinion that would only sound right coming out of Harry's mouth.

"Well, let's go get lunch before the Great Halls fills up, maybe we'll be able to sit together," Tracey said as they all got back to walking. In the end it was decided that it would be safer for them to sit separately as just walking in together had caused many to look at them strangely, Snape being the worst of them.

They spent the rest of the afternoon walking around the lake mostly and exploring a bit of the school. They ran into Ron on one occasion as he sat by himself by the lake picking at the grass. Harry wanted to pass him but Hermione wanted to be the bigger person and make amends. That all flew out the window when Ron had angrily stalked away. Hermione sighed and continued on with her day with Harry and the girls; she had lived her life with people like Ron and she wasn't about to let him affect her like she had let him once.

After quick goodbyes to Daphne and Tracy, which involved kisses on the cheek, they left towards their respective houses. Harry blushed heavily after they left, and tried to explain to Hermione that he had nothing to do with that and that he was only being a good friend.

He was surprised when Hermione just laughed before she stopped him and took him to the side. This was probably the best time to let him know about their arrangement, "Harry, I really like you…a lot," she blushed but pressed on, "and I would love to be your girlfriend."

Harry was about ready to kiss her when she stopped him, "But…Daphne and Tracey like you as well," Harry looked at her confused, "you don't have to agree, they know that, but they would also like to be your girlfriends…"

Harry stared at Hermione strangely. After about a minute of silence he asked the only question that was in his mind, "Is that legal?"

Hermione giggled, "Yes."

"But are you ok with that?" Harry asked sincerely

Hermione was a bit shocked, she hadn't expected this question, he was a guy after all, weren't they into these kind of things? "At first no…but then they explained it to me. In the end if I want to be with you, I have to accept that I won't be able to have you all to myself. It's a bit hard to accept but I can and Daphne and Tracey are great people…"

"So…I have to have multiple girlfriends?" Harry asked confused, "is that how the magical world works?"

"Unfortunately , or fortunately, for you yes," Hermione said, "come on." She took his hand in hers and led him to towards the library, it was the most secluded place that she could think of and it was still a couple of hours before curfew. Just enough time to explain everything to him…

So not as much as my normal chapter but this is more just like a filler chapter to a much bigger chapter coming soon, like in a week soon. BYE oh and review!
