Chapter 1: Return to Hogwarts!

It was a bright sunny day on this September 1st. Hermione was sitting with Harry and Ron on the Hogwarts Express that was to leave for Hogwarts in exactly five minutes. Hermione was entering her 7th year and sat there, staring out the window : thoughtful.

Hermione had spent the month of August at 12 Grimmauld Place with Harry, Ron and Remus, with a few visits here and there of Nymphadora Tonks. Hermione was a bit jealous of Tonks as she knew she had finally managed to get Remus. Yes Hermione had a crush on her ex-soon-to-be DADA teacher. She did not hate Tonks, but she tended to be a bit childish and overreacting. When Remus first rejected her, she was whiny and that, Hermione did not like at all.

"Hermione!" yelled a distant voice.

"Huh?" She answered turning her eyes to her two friends. "I'm sorry… You were talking to me?"

"Uh! Yes…" said Ron surprised. "I was asking you if you were alright?"

"Yes of course I'm fine… Why?" She asked.

"Well you are not the type of person to be spacing out and unaware of your surroundings… Mione.", said Harry softly.

"Hum! Alright!" She answered raising an eyebrow.

And before she realized it, she was back staring at the countryside flowing before her eyes: thoughtful again.

She was remembering the day Harry had lost Sirius, had defeated Voldemort this past year, and how a few days later she saw Tonks and Remus hand in hand. The thought made her frown, which did not go unnoticed to Harry and Ron but they remained quiet. Hermione felt her heart ache:What am I thinking?! I'm smarter than this! I know far too well that he would never look at me other than his student, or friend…. She thought bitterly.

And then the Hogwarts express arrived at destination. Harry snapped his fingers in front of Hermione which made her head snap up and look at him. She looked around and saw movement. She realized they had arrived. She smiled softly to her friends and followed them off the train.

Once they arrived at Hogwarts, they took their seats at the Gryffindor table. Dumbledore had been replaced by Professor McGonagall. She stood up and looked intently at the students. She knew the last year had been difficult. With Death Eaters still on the loose, she thought it would be wise to give advice of cautiousness to everyone.

"Welcome to Hogwarts first years. And welcome back to others. Another year is ahead of us." She paused and took a serious face. "We must not fear darkness. We shall be strong and face any danger that may still linger ahead. But I trust everyone of you to take care of each other…" She paused again and smiled softly this time. "Now some of you know him, some will get to know him. Everyone please welcome back Professor R.J. Lupin who is returning to his former post of Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher." She paused as a roar of applause was heard from students who knew him. "Yes Yes we are pleased to have him back. Now onto our feast. Enjoy!"

And the tables filled up with a delicious meal. Hermione sat there, staring at her plate that she had filled a bit of mash potatoes and turkey. Ron stared at her while stuffing down some food.

"What's wrong?!" He said spitting some of his food all over.

"Nothing!" Hermione snapped. "Can't you be more careful with your food? It's disgusting!" She said glaring at him.

Ron swallowed hard his food as he had never seen Hermione snap at him this harshly before. His eyes widen and decided to go on with his diner. Harry remained silent, as he learned also that it was never good to get Hermione angry. She ate a few more bites and got up, walking out of the Great Hall silently without a look towards the Teacher's table.

Remus, who had been sitting at the Teacher's table, had noticed Hermione snapping at Ron, and barely touching her plate. This got him worried. If Hermione was harsh and not eating, something was clearly wrong. Once he saw her got up and leave the room without sparing him a look, he frowned and wondered how in a bad mood she really was.

Hermione arrived in the common room and sat by the fire. She took her book of DADA and started reading the first couple of chapters. About a half hour later, Harry entered the room and saw her. He took a seat next to her without saying a word. He knew that if Hermione wanted to talk, she would come out on her own. He took also a book, and flipped the pages.

"Merlin! Harry! Do you always have to give me the silent treatment to make me talk!" She said exasperated.

"Is it working?!" He said hopeful and smiling at her.

"No!" She snapped and shut her book close. She got up from the area she was seating and ran up the stairs to her dorm. As Harry stared at her walking up the stairs, he sighed. Bloody idiot! Clearly that didn't work! He thought chuckling.

The evening had come to an end, Harry and Ron had tried to figure out on their own what had happened to Hermione but none of their conclusions was accurate. They thought it was probably some girlie stuff they clearly wouldn't know about. Hermione, on the other hand, had cried herself to sleep. She thought about being a whole year with Remus as a teacher and friend, and never be able to have him. At that very moment, she was hating Tonks.
