mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Hermione was looking at her reflection and sighed, she was unable to believe the person staring back in the mirror was her. She pulled at her hair and shook her head.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Mione…” Harry called from outside of the door knocking lightly. “We’ve got to go.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Coming.” She said looking at her naturally strength brown hair with golden highlights.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">She turned and opened the door, she looked at Harry and he stared back at her before they both laughed lightly and slightly nervously.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“I guess this is going to take some time to get use too.” Harry said while Hermione nodded.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“At least we have each other in this.” Hermione said grabbing her bag and slinging it over her shoulder. “We’re going to be stared at…”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">She looked down and Harry shook his head and grabbed his bag, “Gee I wonder how it feels to be stared at by people you don’t know…Oh wait…”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Hermione grinned and nudged him, “Shut up Harry.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">He smiled back at her and took her hand, “I guess, it’ll be new for you so just squeeze my hand if you get worried and I’ll squeeze back to reassure you.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">She looked at him and smiled genuinely, “Thanks.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">The pair left their room and walked down the moving staircases hand in hand stopping to smile and greet the moving portraits and ghosts. They both felt a since of home as they finally reached the great hall. The doors were wide open and they could hear the noise coming from inside which told them breakfast was still going on.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“You ready?” Harry asked looking at her.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“No.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Let’s go.” He said practically dragging her into the hall.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">The pair walked into the great hall and as soon as they did all the talking stopped and everyone stared at them.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Hermione felt her insides freeze as she started to squeeze Harry’s hand painfully. Harry winched before squeezing her hand back to lessen the pain. They looked for a place to sit but everyone was too busy staring at them to move over.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">They stood in the middle of the Gryffindor and Ravenclaw tables.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">‘Shite, I feel like I’m a caged animal in a zoo.’ Hermione thought trying not to catch anyone’s eye.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Hey New Kids! Hey!”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Sirius Black sit down now!” Professor McGonagall said standing from the head table.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Harry and Hermione looked at each other before silently walking towards Sirius who got down from his seat and sending a charming grin at McGonagall. Hermione looked over at the Slytherin table just behind him. She saw a young man with longish black hair glaring at the back of Sirius’ head before he was pulling into a conversation with someone next to him.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">She pouted before she was brought back to the conversation in front of her.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“I’m Harry P…Granger, Harry P. Granger.” Harry said saving himself.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Harry P. Granger?” a guy with messy jet black hair and brown eyes said, “Harry…nice to meet you I’m James Potter, that there is Sirius Black, the people sitting next to you, are Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Each of the guys nodded at Harry and Hermione, they both stared at Pettigrew. Hermione knew she had to calm Harry down so she squeezed his hand once more.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“James seems to have forgotten his manners, as usual.” A girl with long red hair and bright green eyes said from across from them.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Lily, he was just working up an introduction…” Sirius said grinning.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Always, I need to introduce you properly.” James said smiling at her.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Remus shook his head and went back into his book, while Peter laughed, “Good going James.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Hermione rolled her eyes while Harry stared at Lily. “Hi, I’m…Harry.” He never took his eyes off his mother. Hermione elbowed him and he looked at her and then looked back at Lily.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“This is my sister Hermione Granger.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Lily smiled at him, “Nice to meet you two.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“It’s nice to meet you as well Lily.” Hermione said smiling at her.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">James gave Harry a look but he was too busy playing around with his food to notice.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">~*~

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Really Harry you’re not taking Potions?” Hermione said pouting, “Don’t you think…”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“No Hermione, I know it’s better if I didn’t take Potions, I should focus on DADA, and Charms…anything else…” He paused, “It doesn’t really matter.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“That’s not true…” Hermione said, “But I have to run…I saw Slug Horn at the head table so I’m sure he must be the one teaching.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Harry nodded and she took off towards the dungeons. As Hermione walked towards her Potions class she couldn’t help but think about Snape. The last time she saw him he was helping them keep the death eaters at bay, even Harry doesn’t remember what happened after he’d gotten back with Dumbledore. She shook her head and kept going to class.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">She was happy to notice that Lily was in the class with her. She looked around and Lily smiled and waved her over.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Hermione right?”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Yes…Lily?” Hermione questioned while smiling even thought she knew her name well. “I didn’t know you were taking Advanced Potions.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Yes well, I’m actually good at it even though Slug Horn isn’t the ideal teacher.” Lily said and Hermione giggled.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“So wait are you the only Gryffindor here?” Hermione asked, “Do you normally have to work with Slytherins?”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Well…” Lily stopped talking, “I use to have a friend in this class…but things didn’t work out.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“I’m sorry.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“It’s alright, you’re here now.” Lily said genuinely.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Hermione looked at the potion Slug Horn posted on the board and looked over at Lily who was cutting sopophorous beans. Hermione looked at her annoyed face and looked around the room, every student was cutting the beans. She turned around and looked up and saw a student head bent writing in the text book.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">He looked up and glared at her with cold black like eyes and she bit her lip. Before turning back to her potion.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">‘Crush…don’t cut.’ She thought before turning her knife over and crushing the bean watching the juice squirt out of the bean. ‘God if I tell Harry I used instructions from that stupid book he’ll never let me hear the ending of it.’

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">As Hermione worked away she didn’t see the guy look up and watch her with wide eyes before going back to his potion.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">~*~

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Wow Hermione.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Hermione looked over and saw Lily’s potion, and frowned.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Yes, well…” Lily said looking at her own potion, “I guess I wasn’t paying much attention.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">She said putting her potion into a vial, and looking at it with a scrunched face.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“It’s alright Lily.” Hermione said, “Maybe you…”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“No…to tell you the truth I’m horrible at Potions, I use to be very good.” She sighed, “It’s alright I’m more of a Charms person.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Hermione laughed, “I understand.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Hermione bottled her potion and sat it down beside another potion that looked just like hers, perfect; in every way. She turned and watched a the guy from before walk out of the room when Lily sighed from beside her.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">“Don’t bother with him Hermione, he’s turned into a very dark person.” Lily said with a hitched voice. “Sev…Snape is someone that doesn’t care for anyone else but his death eater friends.”

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Hermione looked at Lily and saw her looking down, before shaking her head and walking out of the door to her next class.

mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman";mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"">‘Professor Snape?’ Hermione thought walking out of the classroom.
