Hermione’s eyes opened slowly to a now empty bedroom. She let her thoughts calm down as her eyes slid from wall to wall. The room was soft pink (ew) with white trim, a vanity filled with perfumes, hair potions and make-up, a dresser that (once opened) revealed all sorts of clothes and the closet was filled as well. The pictures on the walls and every surface were not of family or friends but of herself, and Hermione was sickened with them, so she pulled them all down and put them on her bed joining them, she looked over each picture to get a feel for the girl that she was supposed to have been in this timeline.
Whoever Hermione Potter was, she apparently didn’t know how to smile because in every picture there was a sneer on her face that could rival Draco’s. She had the best of both her parents features (she had meant Charles Potter earlier) her hair though uncontrollable right now fell in to golden ringlets in all the pictures and Hermione couldn’t help muttering “I knew it could be done” to herself when she saw that. She stood at the normal 5’4” that she had before, had tanned skin, large golden eyes that held just a hint of green in them and she about as curvy as any fifteen year old can get.
She heard her…mother calling her to come down for lunch, while there was still lunch to have. She pulled her unruly curls in to and tight braid and smoothed down the top and sides and then dressed in the most sensible outfit she could find which ended up being a pair of fairly tight jeans and a green t-shirt that she was sure was too tight to wear in front of any male, including family. She finally put her shoes on took a deep breath and made her way down the stairs to the dining room, following the voices to the table where she found not only the parents, but James, Sirius, Remus and Peter.
“Good morning” She said politely, sitting near Remus who flinched away.
“Morning?” Her mother laughed “It’s almost one in the afternoon, silly girl”
“I’m sorry” Hermione faltered when Sirius, Peter and even Remus looked shocked at her apparently apologizing wasn’t something Hermione Potter did all that much of.
“No need to be sorry dear” Her mother smiled warmly “Oh, honey. The boys are going to be playing Quidditch…” She smiled at Remus “Some of the boys will be playing Quidditch others will be reading outside. How about we have some girl time…shopping and talking about boys, what do you say?”
“Sure” Hermione said her throat tightening at the motherly gesture “That would be wonderful”
“We can look at dresses for the Yule Ball this year” She smiled reaching over Remus and dragging her hand down her daughters’ cheek “Will you have a date this year?”
“I-I don’t know” Hermione blushed.
“Darling” Charles said amused “You’re embarrassing her”
“She’s never embarrassed” Her mother smiled.
“Then why is she blushing?” He asked, her mother gave her a searching look caught something on her face flicked her eyes around the table before resting them on Remus and then smiled.
The rest of breakfast went by quickly and without a hitch. James kept up commentary on something that happened at school that he had told many times according to their amused and slightly annoyed faces. Hermione was ignored for the most part except when she accidently knocked a jar of marmalade on to Remus’s plate and then with a very red face apologized while he muttered under his breath. She got the distinct feeling that Remus, someone who had been a good friend of hers, couldn’t stand her in this timeline.
When everything had been consumed they all broke apart to do their separate things. Cassandra, her “mother”, went to go get dressed for the day of shopping and told Hermione to put something that she could be seen in public in. She was at a loss of what to do she thought that she was in proper clothing and now there was only one thing that she could do and something was telling her that she was not going to like doing it. So this thought found her standing outside of James’s bedroom where she could hear the boys talking about something. She knocked lightly and waited there was a slight pause in conversation but then it started again and after knocking for a few minutes Hermione finally opened the door a little and peeked in. Peter was downstairs (the only reason she followed through with talking to the boys) Sirius was lying face-down on a bed that was in the corner, she could hear James talking to him from the adjoining bathroom and Remus was standing in the middle of the room wearing nothing but his boxers…that hid nearly nothing. Hermione didn’t really see any of this right away and just barreled in to the bedroom talking to them as if the door had never been closed.
“Okay, I really need to…OH MY GOD!” Her eyes bugged out of her head once her eyes landed on Remus “Oh…ah…WOW” She lifted her eyes to the ceiling “Um…maybe I…really need to talk to you…”
“Hermione!” James came out of the bathroom “Mum is going to murder you if she sees you in here!”
“Why?” Hermione tilted her head “Why would she be angry?” She was always allowed to be in the boys room in her time so why is it so different now?
“Are you kidding?” James looked out in to the hallway “Mum will go completely bonkers if she sees you in here with...”
“My brother?” Hermiones eyes were wide with horror at the implication.
“With Remus…half-naked” James grabbed her arm and pulled her in to the room looking out in to the hall again and then closing the door “Bloody hell Mooney get dressed. It’s my bloody sister in here…Pervert!”
“I need to talk to you and I need you to understand something…I need your help” Hermione spoke in a huge rush letting eyes fall on Remus when he walked back out. She smiled when, just like all the times when he was adult she noted that the tag in the back of his t-shirt was sticking out, absent-mindedly she walked over and fixed his shirt making him blush scarlet.
“What is it?” James sighed frowning in confusion at the strangely familiar way she was with Remus when before she wouldn’t even pass him in the hallway.
“I…” Hermione looked at them, she knew that she couldn’t tell them what she had wanted to originally say “I fell down the stairs…last night I was sneaking in to the kitchen for some…extra food and when I fell I hit my head…things have been…I can’t remember things”
“Amnesia?” Sirius said skeptically “Right”
“No, I remember all of you” She said “But…there are things…like what am I supposed to wear today?”
“A dress” He said raising his eyebrow.
“Why would our mother be angry about me being in here?” She asked.
“Because you are not to be alone with a male that isn’t family, it isn’t proper for a pureblood witch to be alone with a male unless it’s a family member or the betrothed” James answered.
“Why do guys seem to hate me?” Hermione asked the last question under her breath but they still heard her.
“You don’t make it easy to like you” James said honestly. Hermione nodded but even Sirius felt bad when he saw the hurt and tears in her eyes, he felt bad and confused…who was this witch?
“When do we go back to Hogwarts?” Hermione asked.
“Next week” James answered “We already did our shopping, case you forgot”
“Thank you” She whispered before turning a fleeing the bedroom of curious eyes.
She was dressed in a light blue summer dress that fell just below the knee and was spaghetti strapped. She had been walking by James’s bedroom when the door opened and they all walked out almost pushing her out of the way. James smiled and pulled her up with him and walked her downstairs, ignoring his friends that were sure that she was just looking for an opening to get their defenses down.
~~(@)~~
Hermione sat uncomfortably on the Hogwarts express with Lily Evans and Alice…er what was her last name again? She kept replaying the horrible shopping trip with her mother over and over again in her brain. The woman kept insisting that she was head over heels for Remus Lupin or possibly Sirius Black but then she gave her a stern talking to about not going to bed with any of the men because her virginity was something that should be given to her husband. It was embarrassing to say the least.
~~~Memory~~~
“Hermione, are you listening to me?” Cassandra said.
“Yes, mother” Hermione told her after swallowing the salad in her mouth “But I can assure you that I am not attracted to Remus or Sirius”
“Honey” She smiled and pushed her dirty blond hair behind her ear “Remus is a very smart boy, nice and sweet and of course stays out of trouble at school, which is more than I can say for your brother”
“James is a bit of a troublemaker” Hermione said calling on all she knew about James Potter, which wasn’t much.
“But your father and I have been talking a lot recently” She seemed to be approaching a subject that she was worried would explode in her face.
“Communication in a relationship is key” Hermione said sarcastically, she wasn’t sure if she wanted to hear what he mother was going to say.
“Don’t be snarky” She snapped “We’ve been talking about your future”
“Shouldn’t my future be up to me?” Hermione asked hotly.
“Hermione Marie Potter” Cassandra hissed “Your father and I have a list of young men that we think you could be a good match to. We are of course not only looking at money or bloodline we are looking at everything”
“What?!” Hermiones eyes were wide.
“Let’s not be immature” Her mother said sitting back against the back of her chair “Remus is a good man but he would never be able to take care of you, he will never be able to hold a job…you need a man that will be able to support you and not the other way around”
“A marriage works both ways” Hermione hissed “And I am not in love with Lupin!”
“I was thinking that maybe Sirius would be a good match” She continued as if Hermione hadn’t spoke at all “He is smart, driven, handsome, comes from…well a crappy family but an old family”
“Of death eaters” Hermione growled.
“Just think about it” Her mother said “If you don’t make your decision by the end of your sixth year then we will make it for you”
~~~End Memory~~~
“Hermione are you listening to me?” Lily was waving her hand in front of her face.
“No” Hermione shook her head “Sorry, I was…thinking”
“I asked what was wrong” Lily told her
“My mum has decided that I need to think about who I shall marry” Hermione answered.
“How medieval” Lily smiled sadly “Any good options?”
“The best is Sirius Black” Hermione sighed.
“If he is the best then your mother must be trying to set you up with either death eaters or trolls” Lily shuddered.
“There’s a difference?” Hermione asked, laughing.
“I am to marry Frank Longbottom” Alice said “My mother told me this summer holiday. He is a good man though, I feel honored and happy to be with him”
“You’re lucky then” Hermione snapped. She had hoped that coming back here and being part of the Potter family meant that they would all be understanding and not caught up in the pureblood prejudice, apparently some things ran too deep. Suddenly, the door was swung open and a tall and skinny boy with shiny black hair came flying in, he threw himself in to the seat next to Hermione and looked around.
“Bloody Potter and stupid Black” He looked over and his eyes widened “Great another Potter”
“Prof…Snape” Hermione gasped.
“HA!” James pushed the door open, Sirius was smirking behind him and Remus was shaking his head, Peter it appeared was somewhere else “Found you, Snivellous!”
“Hiding with the girls!” Sirius sang out.
“Leave him alone, Potter” Lily stood with her hands on her hips.
“Ah, come on Evans” James whined “We just want to beat him up a little”
“Go away, James” Hermione stood next to Lily “And leave him alone”
“You don’t even like him” James hissed “Get out of the way”
“Don’t like him…” Hermione was scrounging around for something useful to say that would make him stop in his need to beat the boy up she looked over at the shaking form that was looking back at her in terror “How can I not like him…I’m dating him” Severus’s eyes went wide in shock, Remus, ever the intelligent one, smirked in amusement at her lie and Sirius and James looked ready to be sick.
“Dating…him?” James repeated narrowing his eyes “Last year you tried to drown him in the prefects bathtub and now you are all in love?”
‘Wow’ Hermione thought ‘I really am a bitch in this timeline’
“Did you ever stop to think why I was in the bathroom with him in the first place?” Hermione snapped, James’s eyes went wide with the implication and then his face turned red with anger. ‘Oops’ Hermione thought ‘Wrong thing to say’
