AN: I went back and fixed some of my mess ups. The age thing has been fixed and so has the wedding ceremony since there were problems with it. Some of the slower chapters I've tweaked too. If you want to know which ones I've changed just PM me and I'll give you a list of the chapters. On another note my friend said she would beta read for me so the chapters should be a little more polished and hopefully less typos. She probably won't start till the weekend so here's hoping you can put up with my typos for another week. Once again I am not JK Rowling.

It took Severus and I a long time to calm Sirius down once he found out what Cormac had said. Sirius healed my hand while he and Severus were arguing back and forth.

"You expect me to let that tosser to talk to my wife like that?" Sirius asked his voice echoing around the room. I hadn't seen him this mad in a long time.

"All I said was that its been taken care of." Severus said his voice dangerously soft. I knew that tone it was the same one he used with Harry.

"By who Severus? Did Albus give him a detention for coming onto my wife?" Sirius looked mad. His eyes were large and his face was pale.

"He was jumped by Ginny, Hannah and Luna." I muttered quietly entering the conversation for the first time.

"Like that will teach the little shit a lesson." Sirius said dully sitting in his chair.

"Actually," Severus started a large smile spreading across his face. "they did quite a bit of damage before Neville started to pull them off."

Sirius quieted down but I could still feel his anger through the bond. He hadn't liked Cormac before and I bet he absolutely loathed him now. It had taken Severus a lot of assurances to keep me safe but he eventually went back to Grimmauld Place to research Horcruxes.

"Never a dull moment." Severus muttered shaking his head. I nodded in agreement.

"I should get going." I muttered standing up. Severus nodded absently frowning absently at the wall. I was almost to the the door when Severus' voice stopped me.

"Ten points to Gryffindor for hitting Cormac with the best punch I've seen from a Gryffindor in years." I laughed before heading out of his office.

The next week passed monotonously. Harry and Ron were both in the hospital wing and Ginny was furious with Cormac. Whenever she saw him sparks shot out of her wand and would singe the carpet. Hannah and Luna weren't much better. They circled me whenever we walked through the halls. I had to admit we looked like an intimidating bunch. Long live the four Caballeros! Hannah's mistake had stuck and no one was any wiser to what it meant besides us so it worked.

On Tuesday I passed Pansy in the hall and she gave me a small smirk. My heart clenched in my chest when I saw it. Whenever she got that look something bad would happen. Hannah and I looked at each other grimly prepared for the worst but the days passes and nothing happened not even writing on the walls. The silence from the Serpents was worse than when they attacked. They were planning something big and the thought terrified me.

Later that day Harry pulled Ron and I aside to tell us about his lesson with Dumbledore.

"He was so creepy how could anyone have liked him?" Ron asked dangling his legs in the water of the Blake lake once Harry had finished talking about young Voldemort. The giant squid was swimming lazily in the middle of the lake perfectly content.

"He must have been a smooth talker Ron. That's the only thing I can come up with. He obviously flattered and sweet talked everyone to worm his way into their good graces. It probably also helped that he was good looking before he changed." I said walking through the cold water enjoying the breeze.

"Good looking? How would you know he was good looking?" Ron asked his eyebrows quirked with surprise.

"Honestly Ronald! Harry told us that Dumbledore said he was handsome and used it to his advantage." I said crossly rolling my eyes.

"Oh right." Ron muttered laying back against the ground keeping his legs in the water. "But I still say he sounds like a creepy bloke."

"I agree." Harry said frowning. "And to think he's the reason we haven't had a steady Defense Against the Dark Arts professor."

"I'm not surprised at all." I said shaking my head walking around the water. "He would have wanted to cultivate the students to his own ideals."

"That's true but Dumbledore thinks he might have been there for something else." Harry said tapping his wand absently against the ground.

"And whats that?" Ron asked swinging his legs through the water.

"I don't know Dumbledore didn't tell me." Harry muttered absently rubbing his scar. I thought about it pacing back and forth enjoying the cool water. What in the world would he want with Hogwarts. From everything Harry had told us it was the first place he considered home. Home. The word kept reverberating in my mind. The definition from the dictionary suddenly popped into my head and I almost stumbled. Verb (of an animal) return by instinct to its territory after leaving it. Voldemort had loved Hogwarts and would have wanted to keep tabs on it once he left for when he took over everything. I gasped sharply and turned towards Harry and Ron my eyes wide.

"What?" They both asked at the same time.

"What if Voldemort put a copying charm on the book that shows all the magical children that are born around here?" My voice soft and pained. Sebastian, my baby brother, was probably in the book. That's how they found out about him. The muggle killings where young children were involved. Merlin how could we be so stupid?

"Could he have really done that?" Ron asked paling drastically his freckles standing out brightly on his face.

"Yes I do." I said hitching up my skirt. "Come on we have to talk to Dumbledore."

"But -" Harry started jumping up but I cut him off quickly.

"They went after my brother Harry. I'm not going to take that sitting down." I said running towards the front doors and pushed them open.

A curse soared over my head and I quickly ducked. Pansy swore loudly her eyes slightly mad. She looked like a younger version of Bellatrix with straighter hair.

"Come on mudblood lets have a little fun!" She threw another hex at me but I easily dodged it and threw one back at her. Pansy cackled loudly and easily darted away from it. I had no idea why she was fighting me this time usually she had a reason. Maybe she really was mad.

I flicked my wand at her and we fought down the corridor. A slicing hex hit my cheek but I didn't stop. I hit Pansy with a leg locker curse and I jumped away smiling. Yes! For once it wouldn't turn into a big brawl for the whole school.

"Very good Hermione." A soft voice said behind me. My stomach dropped horribly and I turned around slowly. Theodore Nott was standing behind me a small smirk on my face. Looks like Azkaban had another breakout.

I had no time to react to the curse he yelled at me. "Crucio!"
