I woke up the next morning in my private rooms. had no trouble what so ever the previous night finding my room. It was exactly where Albus told me it would be. I blinked a couple of times, adjusting my sensitive eyes to the morning light before sighing and getting out of bed. I grabbed a towel and some toiletries that I found in the trunk at the end of my bed and went to have a shower. There was no private bathroom attatched to my room so I would have to brave the shared on down the hall.

I sighed once more. I seemed to be doing that a lot lately, sighing I mean. I trudged down the hall and found the bathroom, thankfully, to be empty. I slipped into a stall and hug up my towel and bag, taking off my pyjama's which consisted of an old weird sisters shirt and random pyjama pants that I assumed belonged to Poppy. I folded them up and then turned on the hot water. I rinsed myself off, loving the way the water slid across my skin. I washed my body and hair, using the vanilla scented soap and shampoo and then dried myself off once I was finished.

I realised then that I didn't actually have a wand. I didn't have it on me when I grabbed the broken time turner. How had I not noticed that before. I resigned myself to go see Albus before breakfast to inquire around getting a new one. I wrapped my self in my towel and headed back to my room. On the way there I bumped into someone.
"Sorry, I wasn't looking where I was- Oh Hermione. How was your first night?" The person asked and as I looked up I saw it was Alice.

"It was alright. I guess. The food is better than my aunts." I said, trying to make the encounter less awkward. Alice smiled and then her eyes looked to my neck, where I had a scar from Bellatrix's knife. I moved my wet hair over my shoulder to hide it and she blushed at being caught looking.
"Well, I had better be getting to breakfast. I'm meeting Lily there. You're welcome to join us when you're ready." She said with a smile and then walked down the rest of the stairs.

I got dressed quickly noticing that McGonagall had come through on the trousers that I asked for. They were a pair of black skinny jeans with a note attached to them. It read: Most of the boys forgo the school pants for something more comfortable. I am told that these are allowed and comfortable. -MM I smiled at the note, glad I wouldn't look completely out of place. I put of the jeans and found that the pants fit perfectly, if a little snug. I put on my white shirt, tie and jumper, looking into the mirror and liking the out come.

It looked casual but conforming to the uniform. I opened the trunk at the end of my bed once again to find a stack of books with another piece of paper on top of them. It was my time table. I have defence against the dark arts first, transfiguration, then potions at the end of the day. I grabbed my defence and transfiguration books and put them in the salute I found in the trunk as well as some parchment and quills and ink and then left the room. I made my way down to the common room and was greeted by the sight of Remus, Sirius and James sitting around the room along with some other Gryffindors, all in various states of alertness.

James was leaning on Sirius's shoulder, drifting in and out of sleep and I could see Frank rubbing at his eyes tiredly. I made my way over to Remus, and when he saw me he stood up and smiled.
"Hey Mia. We were waiting for you." He said and Sirius and James both jumped up at my name as well. I smiled at them and let them drag me down to the great hall for breakfast.

"So, how did you get away with the jeans Miss Mia?" Asked Sirius as he fell into step beside me.
"I'm the headmasters only grandchild. It comes with certain perks." I said and he smiled.
"You'll come in handy then. Ever pranked someone?" He asked and I rolled my eyes at him.
"Not interested." I said and he pouted. It was cute but I had always been imune to his charms.
"That's not going to work." I said in a sing song voice and skipped of ahead of him, laughing as he pouted even more. I linked arms with Remus who looked down at me affectionately.

"So what classes have you got today little Mia?" He asked and I frowned at him.
"What?' He said with a laugh at the look on my face.
"I can put up with Mia. It's much better than "Mione. But little? Really?" I asked in annoyance. He chuckled. He fucking chuckled. I wanted to smack him up side the head. So I did.
"Oi, what was that for?" He asked, still amused.

"I'm not little." I said petulantly. He smirked at me.
"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but you are. You're little. Short, small, minature, however you want to put it, but it's what you are." He said still smiling.
"Just like a wolf is what you are?" I asked smugly and he frowned immediately.
"That's different." he said, all playfullness gone from his voice.

"No, it's a fact. Werewolf, animal, monster, however you want to put it, but it's what you are." I mimicked.
"That's not fair." He growled and I growled back. I wasn't intimidated by him. I felt a thrill by disagreeing with him and I'm sure it had something to do with us both being werewolves. They didn't usually disobey their alpha and because in this situation, remus was my alpha, it was reckless even dangerous to do so but I did it anyway. I wanted him to know I wasn't going to do what ever he wanted jsut because he was stronger and older than me. It wasn't how I was hard wired.

"Life isn't fair. You'd do well to take what you have a be happy with it." I snarled at him as he stopped walking and faced off. He stared me down, but I held my own, both of our eyes flashing golden. James and Sirius looked at us with concern while everyone else ignored me. Finally Remus relented, looking away and muttering about unfairness.

"You'd also do well to remember that just because I'm new to this, doesn't mean I am going to bow down to you. You may be stronger and older but I am fucking stubborn and I will not roll over like a little bitch. You are not my alpha and I can do what I want. I wont take kindly to you trying to accert your dominance and all that shit. You got it?" I asked him and I could see that he was smiling at me again.
"I'm glad that you have a back bone little Mia, " He whispered in my ear. "I was hoping that you would be able to stand up to me. I don't know how Moony would have reacted to you on friday if you'd just rolled over like a little bitch." he said mimicking me.

I shivered at the suggestiveness of what he was saying.
"What do you think he would have done?" I asked breathlessly.
"I'm sure you can imagin." He said as he leant down and bit my shoulder, then walked away as if nothing had happened.
"What the fuck was that all about?" Sirius burst out after a couple moments of stunned silence from the three of them.
"I didn't want him to think I was weak." I said meakly as I walked into the great hall that was almost full of students.
