OK! I'm seriously getting annoyed. I've been trying to type this forever. Don't own anything you will recognize.
The second Hermione fell through the veil she had to close her eyes due to the blinding light. As she walked around shielding her eyes, she walked into something. Something with arms, for this being caught her before she fell.
She moved to get away, and had, what she discovered to be a boy her age, at wand point.
He held up his arms in the universal gesture for meaning no harm. "Easy there," he said as she lowered her wand.
She went to take in his appearance as he did to her. She noted his aristocratic features, hair as dark as Harry's but grey-blue eyes like Sirius. He was wearing a green t-shirt, and jeans, along with a pair of black robes. Wizard, she decided. He looked to be about her age, maybe older.
This mystery man took in Hermione's appearance, noting not only her outfit (wearing robes similar to his, making him decide her a witch) and her pretty face (caramel eyes and chocolate curls), but his necklace residing on her sweater.
"Get that necklace off," He said, eyes going wide, "It's a horcrux! It's dangerous!"
He went to take it off for her, but she whipped out her wand before he could do anything. Realization of who she was talking to dawned on her.
"Oh wow, I have a lot of explaining to do. Where to start," she said, eyes going as wide as the man's before her.
"Yeah, why don't you start from the begining. It's the common place," he said, going from concern to the smirk trademark of his family, the Black smirk. (AN/ i can see some of you going "oh" right now, some but not all)
She stared at the dark haired boy for a couple of seconds, deciding whether this was a younger version of Sirius (because of the smirk) or if he truly was who she thought he was.
"Right, I know who you are but you don't know who I am, so don't bother introducing yourself," He went to interrupt that it was impossible for her to know him because he'd never met her before, but she silenced him by holding up her hand.
"I know, I know, you don't know me, but I'm getting there." It was now her turn to smirk, a nifty trick she picked up from Sirius. "My name's Hermione Granger, I am a twenty year old muggle-born witch.'The brightest witch of my age' Sirius called me. Now getting on to Sirius. I am sure you know who Sirius Black is,right?" Her smirk grew as he nodded, with a suspicious mind (Go Elvis! Woot! lol I'm done)
"Well Sirius is here in the veil, like you and possible many others are. I'm here to save him. And I know you probably don't know he's here because he's about twenty years older than when you saw him last."
The man stood, awestruck at how this young (well he shouldn't call her young, because, well, they are about the same age) witch, managed to know so much, but yet again, she had the horcrux, she could be working for Voldemort.
"Wait, what about the horcrux,and how do you know me, anyway. I've never even met you. Do you work for Voldemort?"
She could barely follow his rapid fire questions, because they were shot at her so fast, but, she manged. "The horcrux is finished, my friends and I destroyed all of them. How I know you will be explained in a minute, it's a longer story/anwer. I do not work FOR Voldemort, I worked AGAINST him. Besides, I told you, I'm here for Sirius, though I'll try to bring back anyone I can."
"Alright," he said growing impatient, "how do you know me. And what do you mean you 'destroyed' the horcrux, and you 'worked' against Voldemort?"
She sucked in a breath preparing for her answer. "I know you, and have this," She pointed to his locket, "because I worked against Voldemort. When I was 17 my friends, Harry, Ron, and I set out to defeat Voldemort." At his shocked look she continued, "Crazy, I know, but it had to be done. If we didn't do anything, nobody would. First we had to destroy all of his horcruxes. Two of them had previously been destroyed. Riddle's diary by Harry and the Guant ring by Dumbledore. Then Harry found Slytherin's locket at 16. Or so he thought." Both Hermione and the mysterious man smirked at this.
"So that's how you know me," he said, with an air of finally finding out a huge secret.(AN/ More "oh" 's)
"Yes, Regulus, we found your fake locket." She went to take it off, and then held it out for Regulus to take, but he shook his head.
"Keep it," he said, completely serious.
"No it's yours, you should keep it," she said, her head cocked to the side as if she didn't understand.
"Fine," he said, grabbed it, from he hands, and put it in his pocket.
"Now what do we do?" she questioned a couple minutes later.
"Well, I don't know about you but I'm gonna do this," he dashed over to her and put the locket back on her.
"Hey," she shouted as she whipped around to face him, "I told you to keep it!"
"And I said I wanted you to have it. I frankly, don't want much to do with it anymore, it kinda was the death of me so..."
She realized what he was saying, and also how close they were because she spun around. They were face to face.
"How sweet, what are you two up to. Regulus,who's your new friend?" A voice with a clear London accent called out from behind them.
About time eh guys/girls. I can't believe it took me this long. I am truly sorry. I would like to thank all of you that favorited, reviewed, or alerted this story. New chapter should be up sooner than this one was, mainly because I'm coming out of writers block. See you next update
