I'M SORRY! I am a terrible writer. But finally I have a new chapter for you; it's incredibly short and from now on my posts prbably will be, otherwise they will never get posted. If you need me, I'll be hiding in my pit of shame. Hope you enjoy the chapter :)

Christmas passed and Hermione and Severus settled back into school life, but this time as a couple. No one was shocked, it was something that students and teachers alike had seen coming. Winter passed into spring and spring passed into summer. The years flowed by without a hitch. Hermione and Severus aced their OWLS, helping each other along the way, and without them even realising it their last year at Hogwarts had crept up on them. 

It was time to return to school after the summer holidays but things seemed different this year. Dark things had started happening, strange disappearances and unexplainable deaths.

Lily, Hermione and Severus met the rest of the marauders at kings cross station Over the years Severus had become closer to the Gryffindors, and although he was not 'part of the group' he felt that he could call them friends. However Severus still kept his loyalties to his fellow Slytherins, So when Crabbe and Goyle approached him at Kings Cross Station wanting to offer him a proposition he followed readily. 

" I'll meet you on the train 'Mione." Severus murmured to her as he pecked her on the cheek. 

"Hmmmm, i'll save you a space in the compartment."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Just after the train left the station the door to Hermione's compartment slid in and an ashen faced Severus ghosted in and sat next to Hermione. 

"'Rus, what's the matter?" She asked, worry lacing her words. When there was no reply she continued; "Severus? Is everything alright? You're awfully pale."

"I'm always pale." He smirked some colour returning to his face. 

"Oh stop it." Hermione humphed as she tried to slap his arm playfully but  instead settled for resting her head on his shoulder.

"Settle down, settle down." Professor Dumbledore spoke; his voice magically magnified. "Professor McGonagall has a few announcements. McGonnagall marched to the lectern as Dumbledore stepped aside.

" After long deliberation we have finally chosen the Head boy and Head girl." A serious of whoops erupted from the crowds but McGonnagall silenced this all with one simple raised eyebrow. "For the first time in a very long while, both Head boy and girl are from Gryffindor."  A  chorus of grumbles rose from the Slytherin table.  "Hogwarts' head boy this year is..... James Potter!" James turned to the rest of his table and rose with an expression of pure shock. He walked to the stage and stood next to Mcgonnagall as she said "And out head girl is..... Lily Evans." Lily smiled in glee as she walked up to where James stood. " And that about wraps up the evening, follow your house prefects up to your dormitory and get some well needed sleep. "
