The next morning Hermione woke up with an awful headache and she could smell alcohol.
"Ick... Stupid Slytherins..." she muttered and got up, but realized there was someone else in her bed. "Oh... my... God!" she whispered and did a few charms on herself causing her to be in uniform and look refreshed. She ran out of her room to the common room, where many of the Slytherins were sleeping. She decided to go to breakfast.
She got down to the Great Hall and was the first Slytherin there. Everyone in the other three houses seemed to be there already. She quickly ate, hoping to avoid any Slytherins, but halfway through her meal, they started pouring into the hall. She sighed and ate faster but decided she was not hungry anymore when she saw Tom, Lucius, and Severus. She was able to hide behind a group of people coming in, and then left when she knew the group had seated themselves in the Great Hall. She walked outside, knowing it would be a nice morning. She would just sit outside until classes started and pray she had not done anything over night. She walked over to the same tree she had sat under the day before and watched the lake. It was beautiful under the rising sun. She smiled and leaned back into the tree. She pulled out some books and began reading.
"For once, I wish we did not have classes, it's too nice of a day," Hermione sighed and shut her eyes, but her thoughts ended up being interrupted.
"Hey," she heard someone say and knew they had sat down next to her, she already knew who it was and did not bother opening her eyes.
"Go away you bastard! I don't want to talk to you," she said.
"I know you are mad. I am sorry about last night! I swear I will not do that again!" he said.
"I can't trust you, I already know too much, I'm sure Severus and Lucius have told you."
"Yes, they have. I don't care that you know, please give me another chance!"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Pretty please?"
"N-O."
"Why?"
"Because."
"Because why?"
"Because because," she said.
"Because because why?" he asked
"Because because because," she said.
"Because because because why?!!" he asked, starting to get annoyed at the game.
"Because because because because!" she replied.
"Because I love you and you love me?" he asked. She ignored his comment. With her eyes still closed, she began putting her books in her bag, but he stopped her.
"Please answer me," he said. She ripped her hand away from his and grabbed her books and bag then ran back to the school. She was glad he did not try to chase her. She walked down to the Potions class and sat down in the front of the class. She took out everything needed for the class and began to work.
AN - Okay... A few things need to be clarified... The beginning takes place in the future, September 2003. She HAS to go back only 15 years; I was assuming that was when James was around... He has to be around because Severus has to. Got that so far? Maybe not... but as I have said before, it should make more sense later. Voldemort and Lucius HAVE to be around; those two (of course) play major roles in the past. I did not know the headmaster before Dumbledore was Dippit... I was close though, eh? I did not know Dumbledore taught Transfiguration. I really do not know when Hagrid was expelled. I am sorry about all of that.
