can't help being smart

She had been humming, not even realizing the small notes that escaped her slightly parted lips as her fingers turned effortlessly the pages of an old book. Grimmaud Place was QUIET which was quite rare since the Weasley had started to live here & she was enjoying every minute of it. She heard a sound behind her, footsteps.

                  'I didn't take anything. PLEASE. I didn't take anything.'

She had been humming, not even realizing the small notes that escaped her slightly parted lips as her fingers turned effortlessly the pages of an old book.

            "no….?”

   "You are telling me zat even ze ‘eadmaster does not know ‘is way around ‘is own school?”

“ah, I like that offer, actually. Contrary to popular belief, I quite love a library…and you know, I think I’d like to learn about myself a bit more. When are you going down?”

"…I travelled as Padfoot of course, I got here the first time didn’t I? Is Harry alright?"

      “It’s the proper lookin’ ones who’re always craziest.” The animagus muttered, mostly to himself though whether or not she overheard him wasn’t of any interest.

      She was crazy. Acting as though she was familiar with him, on a personal level at that rather than she simply knew of him. She’d questioned him as to why he was so young but he had never been any older. Asking him the date of the year rather than the day was just as outlandish. It was almost as if she’d traveled back in time—-

      “… Personally, I only know of one device that would put you back in 1977,” Sirius began, eyes attempting to catch a glimpse of the time-turner she simply had to possess, “Bloody rare one at that, Miss…?”

        she huffed, crossing her arms on her chest. how impolite was that ? she wasn't crazy for Merlin's sake. she just had apparently gone back in time. big deal. except, the only thing that she knew that could do that with the time-turner she used in second year. she looked around her neck, tried her pockets but found nothing. what happened then ? she was supposed to be with harry, she was supposed to help him. she wasn't supposed to be stuck in 1977.

        then it hit her. Sirius was a student at Hogwarts which meant that Professor Lupin was there, as well as Peter Pettigrew and Harry's parents. but Dumbledore had said that changing the past was dangerous in second year. she rolled her eyes as she remembered that Sirius had also been involved this time. was it his job to attract troubles ? like godfather, like godson, she guessed.

[   He can see her STRUGGLING when he      wasn’t giving her the responses she       probably so desperately craved from       him. It sent a wicked smirk on his face      until he decided it wasn’t worth his       energy. He was sick of this obnoxious      k a r m a —- now being used as the       punching bag after so many years of      being the fist. Not entirely true, he was      bullied himself. He was better at keeping      it to himself, though. Don’t let anyone      see the wounds, after all. For they will      heal and he’ll be stronger. — Right ?

    Now , he watched, uncaring why she     was here, only  why she was in front     of him. He knew the answer, but the     question swam in his eyes until his     eyes flashed down to a……….hand?     ]

❝  Granger, by the heaven’s above, do not        tell me that is actually a hand you’re so        casually holding out to me. ———————❞

[ she watched him smirking like there was something for him to be proud of. he could be so annoyingly conceited about everything sometimes, it was unnerving. but still, she could guess that the post war wasn't easy on him. people were cruel and she hated the judgements you could see in people's eyes when they didn't even know the truth.

she tilted her head, pursing her lips. she won't bicker with him once more, she won't. but he's really testing her nerves. and she hated watching her hand in the air like that. couldn't he just be mature and shake her hand for Merlin's sake ? ]

❝Is it illegal to walk down a street now?                     (A soft snort and a raised brow.)     What you gonna’ do Granger?                                     Arrest me?❞                                                                           Hopefully not, she’s already spent too much                                                                          time in the Ministry arguing the rights for her                                                                          article’s to fancy another trip there                                                                                           It wasn’t like Granger could do that anyway. 

Oh Merlin, didn't Slytherins learn some manners since the end of the war ? A sigh escapes her lips as she made a face, annoted.

      ' No, Parkinson. I'm not going         to arrest you. I have more         important thing to do than         lose my time. I just find it         strange that you're just         waltzing around here. '

"Harry needs me, Hermione, you think

I wouldn’t show up at a time like this?”

If eet’s important, of course Well, she was talking to papa, and I was only listening in, but she said our gouvernement ‘as been ‘aving lots of trouble. She said we should keep a low profile.

' Of course, only if he needs to know. Well, Gabrielle, thank you. This is really important. On a less serious subject, how do you like Hogwarts so far ? '

"Well, isn’t being blunt rather…bad?"

' Well, I don't know. I don't think so though. '

“Oh, whatcha workin’ on? I don’t need a babysitter, ‘Mione, I’ll be quiet as a dormouse don’t you worry.”
