Chapter 1

The castle was being rebuilt after the final battle. Harry had fulfilled the prophecy and defeated Voldemort. They had lost so many good people in the battle. It had ended almost 2 months ago. Hermione had come to the castle to get her mind off everything.

"Hermione, how are you?" Professor McGonagall rushed over to the floor in her office to great the young witch. Hermione waved her hand over her her clothes and vanished the soot. "I'm okay. I was hoping to help the clean up efforts."

The older witch hugged the younger one. "It will get easier." she told her, before sighing. "You could help clean out the classrooms."

She nodded still not saying a lot. "Which room?" Minerva sat back at her headmaster's table. "I believe we were at the 4th floor DADA room." Hermione stiffened. "Remus's classroom?" Her voice was barely above a whisper.

"Yes dear, is that okay? There are other rooms." She offered. The young woman shook her head. "No, It is okay." She forced a smile before she headed out the door.

Hermione had grown close to Remus with their work in the order. She had developed a crush on the older man. She was crushed when he died in the final battle. Her eyes were threatening to tear up when she walked into the classroom.

After an hour of boxing things up and cleaning, she debated about going home for lunch. She lived with Harry at Grimmauld Place . Harry had surprised her, but bring home someone. Draco Malfoy. Hermione was shocked, but Harry asked her to be nice. She was surprised that she and Draco became very close friends.

She stood up from where she was sitting to see something on the wall in the corner. She walked towards it slowly, keeping it in her sights. It was a spell, carved deep into the stone. That wasn't what caught her attention. They were glowing, as she got closer they became brighter.

She traced the letters and said the words outloud. She felt the magic surround her as vision blurred. When the room came back into focus, she fell to the ground dizzy.

"Are you okay?" a voice asked from behind her. In seconds, she turned around and had her wand pointed at the boy. She could do wandless magic, but with the unknown it was easier to pull her wand now then need it and take time later.

The boy's blue eyes went wide. "It is okay. We won't hurt you. " She looked at him. He was slightly taller than her with sandy brown hair and deep blue eyes. She slowly lowered her wand as she stared at him. He looked familiar but she couldn't place him.

"Hello Love, I'm Sirius and this is Remus. Now what is a pretty thing like you doing crashing our detention." The boy walked over from the other side of the room. Hermione's eyes went wide. She looked from one to the other, then did something she hadn't done in her life. She fainted.

She fell to the ground as the boys both stared. She completely missed seeing the third boy walk into the room. He reached up and shook his messy black hair to get the dust out.

"Well, I got the closet dusted. Why aren't you guys cleaning in her?" He asked before his brown eyes went wide and look to his friend's for an explanation. Remus answered. "Prongs, I have no clue what happened. Padfoot was just introducing us when she fainted." Sirius scooped the women into his arms.

"Come on let's take her to the hospital wing." The other 2 boys nodded in agreement. James Potter aka Prongs stopped in the doorway and started laughing. Remus turned and looked at his friend.

"What is so funny?" He glared at his friend. "Nothing, except you two need to brush up on your charm, if she faints when you talk to her."

Sirius turned around. "Well James, It did work out. She is past speechless and in my arms."

Remus shook his head at his friends. "Padfoot, I do prefer girls who are conscious. Now come on let's get her to the hospital wing." He let them down the corridor.

~ So what do you think? I wrote it out and expand it as I type. It was really only a paragraph in my notebook. :)
