Pansy learns a lesson

"Uncle Sev," Hermione's voice swept over Severus, he knew that tone and he had to try to cover his smirk before he turned to face the child. She had grown quiet apt at the art of revenge, after a few run ins with some of the other students due to jealousy. There was a distinct line drawn between the groups, Harry, Draco, Hermione, Neville and Luna were always together, while the others just tried to get their attention. Pansy was the most outspoken, thanks to her now legendary crush on Draco. When the girl was six, she demanded that Harry be removed from Draco's life and a marriage contract be drawn up between Draco and herself, to which her mother had informed her that it was impossible since Harry was Draco's future mate. Pansy had scoffed and thrown a tantrum of the likes never seen before and Harry had laughed at her, saying, "you is so stupid," he made it worse by nudging Draco and saying, "tell her Draco, she is so stupid," to which Draco nodded and smiled, and then Harry added, "besides you can't kick me out of my own house." He then shook his head while grabbing Draco's hand and dragging the boy off, muttering all the while about how stupid the pug face girl was.

Severus had laughed about that for days, while Narcissa had told Pansy's mother in no uncertain terms that if she could not teach her child proper manners, they were not longer welcome in the Malfoy or Potter homes. They had not seen Pansy for a week and then she had popped back up red faced and apologised for her behaviour. Harry, still to this day, at nine, held a grudge. Pansy had kept to her word, but her attention had turned to Hermione, trying to hurt Harry through his best friend.

Hermione had taken revenge against the girl, every single time, and always a week or so after the original offence had been perpetrated. Severus chuckled again at the fine job they had done raising these children to be Slytherin. Hermione was outshining even Draco in her sneakiness.

Severus turned around to face the little girl in question, and almost choked trying to keep from chuckling at the glint in her eye. "Yes Hermione?"

"I was curious," Hermione had her hands behind her back, and she was gently toeing the carpet, "is there such a thing as a potion to make someone's hair fall out, you see in the muggle world we have a special cream you can put on and it will make hair fall out, but I wanted to know if there was a potion that could do it, for, you know, when I get older and need to shave my legs."

"I see," Severus said, his voice still trying to hide his chuckle at her attempt to try and get one over on the potions master. Hermione had tried this often over the years, and never once succeeded though that never stopped her from giving it a go. Severus bend down on to one knee to look Hermione in the eye, "now why don't you tell me the real reason you want a hair removal potion?"

Hermione bounced on her toes slightly, and that was the only sign of her excitement, "so there is such a thing, thanks Uncle Sev." She was just about to run off when Severus grabbed hold of her arm and held her in place, causing Hermione to look up at him, trying to look innocent.

"How about you tell me why you want the potion, and if I believe it is for a good cause, I will make it for you myself." Severus never in a million years thought there would be a good reason for this, nor was he expecting what happened next.

Hermione's eyes filled with tears, which was not something that happened to the girl much, she was very good at hiding her emotions, unless she was with her parents or Harry and Draco, and her eyes fell to the floor, as she started to wring her hands together almost painfully. "Pansy, she, well, it was awful Uncle Sev, she called me," Hermione gulped and tried to swallow her tears, "shecalledmeamudblood," she muttered, her words all flowing together. Severus took a minute to try and slow the words down in his own mind and when he did, he reared back like someone had physically struck him. That word was forbidden in Potter Manor and Malfoy Manor.

"She did what?" Severus' voice was soft, but the sound was scathing. Hermione knew just from that tone that Pansy was in for it big time and she would no longer need the potion, even though she still wanted to use it. Stupid Pansy.

Severus' mind was reeling, all the parents had been told in no uncertain terms that blood status was something that was not to be talked about, and the word mudblood was never to be uttered out of anyone's mouth, especially in front of the children. He also knew that Rose Parkinson would never allow her child to say such things. She was trying very hard to become closer to Narcissa and Beth, but the two women were so close it was hard for anyone to breach their circle. He had no trouble at all believing Cassius would have uttered that word on multiple occasions during business meetings with pureblood bigots.

"I think, Miss Granger, that I might have a few things to help you in your little endeavour." The smirk Severus received from Hermione was enough to make him shiver slightly.

Hermione was excited, not only would she get her revenge, she was also going to learn a thing or two, Uncle Sev only called her Miss Granger when he was teaching them. Severus sent Hermione to find Harry and Draco, telling her he would come find her later to help him brew a few potions. He then turned sharply on his heels and went to find Narcissa.

"How could you allow your daughter to use such a word, Rose?" Narcissa's voice carried out into the hall, which showed just how angry she was.

"I had no idea she had even heard the word Narcissa, I will be talking to her and my husband as soon as I get her home, you can be sure of it." Rose stated, her face was tinted with embarrassment at her daughter having stuck her foot in it yet again. She was certain they would be told never to return.

"See that you do, I expect a full apology," Narcissa paused and a smirk covered her face, "and I am sure Hermione will be extracting her own punishment." Rose shuddered herself, she had seen Hermione's punishments on plenty of occasions. She just wished Pansy could learn to keep her mouth shut and behave accordingly in any situation.

Severus chose that moment to walk into the room, a sneer plastered on his face. "Mrs Parkinson, I have been informed about what has happened, and am only too pleased to assist Miss Granger in her endeavours for punishment. I'm sure Miss Parkinson will be told to apologise to Harry as well, since his mother was a muggleborn."

Rose paled even more, having totally forgot about Harry Potter's mother. Her daughter was in for it now. "Did Harry hear the slur?" she asked, praying to God he only heard about it afterwards.

"Yes he did, and it was only Draco's fast thinking that kept Pansy from being attacked then and there." Rose's hand went to her mouth and she rushed out of the room. She had a family to fix, right quick, before they became pariahs.

Two weeks later, Pansy stood in front of all the children and adults, a hat placed firmly on her head, but there was nothing she could do to cover her green skin. Harry had added to Hermione's hair loss idea and decided the girl needed to be green until she could learn to curb her jealousy.

"Green with envy, get it," Harry could be heard sprouting around the house, giggling all the while. Her hair would not grow back either, until she was given the antidote, Severus had been very busy creating a new potion and the antidote to it. It was very funny to see, and there were plenty of pictures to supply Pansy with enough reason to 'shut her mouth' as Hermione would say.

Pansy, for her part, had learned her lesson well. She would never listen to her Uncle again, as it was his advice that told her to demand Harry's removal and his advice that told her to pick on Hermione. She was unsure about the Mudblood word, but used it anyway in a fit of jealousy. Now she regretted it more than anything in the world. She had embarrassed herself and her family, almost beyond redemption. Stupid Uncle telling her she needed to marry a Malfoy to bring them over to the Dark Lord. Stupid Dark Lord.

Pansy had explained it all to her parents, who in turn explained it all to the Malfoy's, Sirius, Remus and Severus. Pansy had then been told all about the so called Dark Lord and exactly what he did, and the fact that he was not even a Pureblood, so everyone that followed him and knelt before him were just idiots. She couldn't agree more.

The rift between the children took a long time to repair, but it was solidified after the children had received their letters to Hogwarts. The families decided to go as a group to get the children's school supplies.

Lucius had managed to get Severus appointed Potions Professor at Hogwarts, he had also made sure Quirrell never made it onto Hogwarts property. Sirius Black had been made Professor of Defence Against the Dark Arts, much to Dumbledore's outrage. The much talked about curse was actually non existent. Dumbledore just needed a reason to keep changing the teachers so he could test Harry, in the previous time line, and they knew that to be true in this one also.

As the family were walking down the Alley, enjoying the sunshine and watching the children run from store window to store window, there was a loud crash, and then people were screaming and running. Lucius ran for Harry and Draco, knocking them to the ground just as a stunner was about to hit Harry. "Dumbledore," Lucius grumbled under his breath as he cast a shield in front of him and the boys. Narcissa, Severus and Sirius were shielding the rest of the children while the rest of the adults were defending them.

A cutting curse had been thrown at Hermione, but it bounced effortlessly off the shields. The thing that shocked everyone, was that Pansy had pushed Hermione to the ground. At the angle that the girls fell, if the shield had not been in place, Pansy would have been hit by the curse, protecting Hermione.

It was a very shaken group of adults and children that Portkeyed back to Potter Manor, after the Auror's had arrived and cleared the area. Amelia Bones had promised to come by later to discuss what they found.

The children were sitting at the table in Harry's favourite dinning room, drinking hot chocolate and eating cookies, to try and help their shaken nerves, when Hermione spoke up. "Why, Pansy, why would you do that for me, you hate me." Pansy sighed, her shaking hands lowering her mug to the table.

"You are the only friends I have ever had. I know I've been, as Harry would say, 'a stupid pugged faced girl,' but until Mother sat me down and explained it all to me, I was just doing what my Uncle told me." Pansy was sobbing quietly, which in itself was strange, as no-one had ever seen the girl cry but her parents. "But I really want to be friends with all of you, I just don't know how to stop being such a, stupid girl." Hermione went over to the girl and pulled her into a hug.

"Well the best way would be to stop insulting me and trying to get between Draco and Harry," Hermione said, in her matter of fact voice. "And you can never use the M word again."

Pansy shuddered at the thought, she had been green and bald for two weeks, "I have learnt my lesson well, with that one, I promise," she said her wet eyes wide as she looked at the group.

"Then we are all friends?" Neville asked quietly as he, like everyone else, tried and failed to stop his hands shaking.

"Friends," all the children repeated together.

"How are we going to get our school supplies now?" Hermione asked. She may be sneaking and cunning this time around but she was still a lover of all things educational. Harry and Draco sniggered behind their hands and Hermione shot them a disgruntled look. She was still disgruntled that Harry and Draco were in front of her in all their pre Hogwarts classes.

"The adults will get them, I don't think we will be allowed in Diagon Alley ever again," Harry said with a grimace, "Do you think that was those Death Eaters that they talk about all the time or Dumbledore?" Harry added.

"Who knows," Draco said as he slid an arm around Harry and held him close, "but whoever it was, they will figure it out and keep us safe."

Harry and Draco had spent a lot of time snooping on their parents, and Hermione had joined in when she had realised that sometimes you had to be sneaky to find out what you wanted to know. It was a hard lesson for the young girl, when she discovered that adults keep things from you and sometimes lie.

They had learnt all about The Dark Lord Voldermort, also known as Tom Riddle, and how Harry was suppose to defeat him, and they had learnt that Dumbledore the Headmaster of Hogwarts was also trying to get his hands on Harry to use him as a weapon. It didn't make much sense to the kids until they were older, and they slowly started piecing things together.

"Dad," Harry called out as he saw Sirius walk past the open door. Sirius had been very iffy about Harry calling him Dad, especially since he planned on it never happening, he did not want to replace James. But Harry had insisted, since everyone else had a mum and dad and he didn't have either. He complained it wasn't fair and said that if Sirius had adopted him then he was his dad, end of discussion. Harry had been seven, and had Dobby help him figure it all out.

"Yes son?" Sirius asked as he poked his head into the room, and chuckled when Dobby was refilling Harry's cup and then plastered himself to Harry's side. The poor elf was very upset that he had not been with Harry when the attack had occurred and was now determined to never let his Master out of his sight again.

"How are we going to get our supplies?"

"Your Uncle Sev went to pick them up with Lucius and Remus, they should be back shortly." Sirius smiled and waved as he walked out of the room.

"There ya go Hermione, problem solved, though it would have been nice to buy some extra books." Both Harry and Hermione would be upset about that for days.
