Hogsmeade
After what seemed like forever to Hermione she had finally convinced Lily to go to Hogsmeade with the boys. They all decided to go to the three broomsticks for a drink after being dragged around Zonkos by the boys. "So lily when are we throwing this party?" James asked the head girl. "Party?" Hermione asked. "Yeah the head boy and girl throw a party for seventh years, the odd six years sneak in but we don't really care" Lily sunk into her seat, she really didn't want to throw a party an James noticed. "Come on Lily we have too its tradition" he smiled and pleaded. "Fine Potter but just to let you know there's no where we can throw a party anyway" Lily smirked and took a swig of her Butterbeer. "I know a place we can, I will show you when we get back to the castle" they all looked at Hermione shocked, wondering how she found a place. "Brilliant!" James cheered up. "Me and moony will get the fire whiskey from Aberforth in a bit, party is on Friday!" James put his hand up for a high five from Remus who reluctantly high fived him back. "Next Friday?! I have nothing to wear James and no money!" Lily was looking frantic now, she had obviously changed her mind about the party. James got his wallet out his robe and gave Lilly 10 galleons. "Buy a dress and some shoes" James winked while Remus was trying to guess her reaction. "Ten galleons? I can't James, it's a nice gesture but it's too much" she handed the galleons back but James pushed them towards her again. "Lily please just take them" She didn't want to but she was surprised how nice James was being, she hesitated but gave him a small kiss on the cheek then grabbed Hermione and ran out of the three broomsticks. Hermione saw Lily blushing. "You like him Lily!" She blushed harder "no I don't I'm just shocked he could be nice" Hermione snorted. "Come on let's find an outfit. Hermione dragged Lily to Gladrags Wizardwear and observed all the dresses. Hermione had no clue on what to wear, she was never focused when it came to fashion so she decided to let Lily pick Hermione a dress to wear. "Hermione look!" Lily came bounding towards Hermione with a red skater dress that came down to her mid-thigh and black wedged shoes with thin laces. Hermione loved it "try it on then! I'm trying on mine" the girls went to changing rooms and both were getting excited about the party. "Hermione are you ready?" Lily called. At that moment Hermione laced her shoes up and examined herself. She looked and felt beautiful, it showed off her figure but was respectable at the same time. "I'm ready!" Both girls opened the curtains and stood to face each other. Lily was wearing a straight floral dress that was a little shorter than Hermione's red dress. It didn't show her curves as much as the red dress she picked for Hermione but the dress still showed off her features. Both girls were happy with their outfits and paid immediately with James' money and some of Hermione's galleons that Dumbledore gave her when she first arrived at Hogwarts.
They caught up with the boys at the castle gates. They were trying to enchant their bags to fit all the fire whiskey. "Remus it won't expand!" James shouted "James I'm trying stop yelling!" The boys were getting agitated to the point where Hermione decided to help considering she mastered the spell during the war. She got out her wand and pointed at the small bag "furtim laxat" She started putting the firewhiskey in the bag while the marauders stood back ashamed that Hermione achieved the spell first time. "Thanks Hermione" James said, he picked up the bag and headed back into the castle with Remus Lily and Hermione. "So girls did you get anything good?" James tried to peek in Lily's Gladrags bag but she hid the bag. "Have to wait and see Potter" She snorted and led Hermione to the great hall. The girls joined Alice and Emmeline at the table and showed the girls their dresses. "Ooh they are gorgeous! When did you say the party is? I really hope Frank is going" Alice blushed. "It's on Friday, we don't know where yet but we will tell you when we find out" Lily quickly put the dresses away when she saw the boys walk into the great hall, Alice and Emmeline had left to go back outside and study. This time James and Remus were accompanied with Peter and Sirius. The marauders made their way down the table and stopped at Hermione and Lily. "Hermione are you going to show us this place for the party?" Hermione turned around to face the boys. "Later, I need to catch up on Potions" And with that she hurried to the Dungeons to catch up on homework. When she got to the potions class Severus stood next to a cauldron and Professor Slughorn was tidying his shelves until he noticed Hermione. "Miss Granger! Lovely to see you, what is it you need?" Hermione placed her books on the same desk as Snapes. "Just wondering if I could do my homework in here?" Snape snorted. "Of course miss Granger! And Severus be nice" Snape rolled his eyes and remembered the day when Hermione used his spell, he had to ask her. "Hermione?" Hermione jumped a bit at the sound of her name, she was use to Snape calling her 'know it all' or 'Miss Granger'. "Severus?" Slughorn left the room. "I was just wondering how you know about my spell?" She realized her mistake. "Wh-what spell?" Snape sighed. "Cut the crap granger you used my spell on Black in Defence against the Dark Arts the other day" Hermione hesitated in her seat. "I can't tell you Severus" She could feel tears welling in her eyes, she was scared about being in the past she just didn't show it and right now was the time she was going to burst, in front of her old teacher. Snape saw this and stopped asking her. "So much for Gryffindors being brave" He snorted and carried on with his potion. Hermione had enough. "YOU!" She pointed at snape. "YOU HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I'VE BEEN THROUGH, WHAT I HAVE SEEN AND DONE. DON'T YOU DARE JUDGE ME!?" She cried into her hands loudly. She missed Harry and Ron, Molly Weasley's knitted jumpers. Fred and Georges pranks and she hated the fact she can never go back to the future. "Hermione I'm sorry" She sniffed. "Tell me what's wrong I promise I won't tell anyone, you look like you need a long chat" Hermione nodded, I suppose she can tell one person, not too many details just enough to explain her situation. "Okay, sit down it's a lot to take in" Snape went and sat next to her in the corner of the potions room. "Severus I am from the future" Snapes eyes widened. "It was just after the war, I got sent back in time to change everything. It was horrible" Severus' eyes stayed wide open. "Did you know me in the future?" Hermione snorted. "Yes, you were my Potions teacher, quite ironic really considering we are in your future classroom" Snape sat back shocked. "Really Granger? You're being serious?" She nodded. "Who else did you know?" Snape asked."I knew Remus Sirius and Peter, and a few of the teachers" Snape just looked at her. "You're secrets safe with me" Hermione smiled. "Thank you Professor, I mean Severus" They both laughed about the situation and the pair spoke about other things and potions.
