Tremendous Sacrifice

Chapter 5

"That was amazing. No one ever talks back to Sirius Black like that." Lucius Malfoy said.

"Well, I guess I am not just a no one." I told him.

We got into the common room and I looked around. It was defiantly different from Gryffindor's. I sighed and sat down in one of the chairs by the fire. Regulus and a few of his friends joined us. I looked at each of his friends. A few of them I knew right away and others took me a little bit to recognize.

"Oh, you are going to be a great asset to this house." A women's voice said.

I looked from behind my chair and saw it was no other than Narssica. I was shocked to see her here. The mother of one of my worse enemies. I took a deep breath and said,

"Well, thank you. And you are?"

"I am Narssica Black. Like my mother always told me when you see greatness, you should befriend that greatness." She said.

"Well, it is nice to mean you." I told her.

"Oh, Narssica do not scare the poor girl out of our house." Lucius said.

"No that is her older sister Bellatrix that would do that." Regulus stated.

Everyone started to laugh. I could not help but smile. I could not believe how relaxed and different the Slytherins were. This was defiantly going to be different.

I walked up to my room and looked around. I was rooming with Narcissa and some other Slytherin girl. I opened the book up and saw it was blank and I took a quill out and wrote in it.

Are you two there? -HG

Hey Mione! - LL

We are both here girly. -GW

So, what happens now? -LL

Well we are going to have to set the plans in action. You two get in with the Marauders and make sure that Peter does not hurt them. I will try to turn some of these Slytherins for the good and get in with the Order. -HG

That sounds good. We will see you in the morning Hermione. -GW

You will be alright tonight. We will meet up tomorrow morning before breakfast to walk in together. We must keep up the act of us being perfect Beauxbaton. -LL

I closed my book and started to cast charms around my bed so that I would not bother my roommates.

*Ginny's POV*

I sighed when I put my book down and looked over to Luna. We were sitting on our beds and I knew this was going to be hard. I only thought about Hermione right now and it hurt knowing we got to be together and she was all alone. We heard the door open and there came in Lily. She smiled to us and asked,

"Everything alright?"

"Yeah, just thinking." Luna said.

"Well, I was wondering if you wanted to come downstairs to hang out for a little bit. Get to know some of your house mates while at it." Lily suggested.

I nodded to Luna and we followed Lily down the stairs. The common room was crowded and Lily dragged us over to the couches. There sat a group of girls. They smiled to us and Lily introduced them.

"This is Marlene, Alice, and Mary. Girls let me introduce you to Luna and Ginny."

"Nice to meet you all." Luna said.

"Come sit down with us." Mary said making room on the couch.

We all started to talk about random things. Right then came in the Marauders. They looked around and smiled over to us. I groaned when I saw Peter following in toe falling them like a lost puppy. Luna giggled a little bit and wink at me.

"Ladies, how are you today? You look wonderful today Lilyflower." James said.

"What do you want Potter?" Lily asked.

"We thought we would join you lovely ladies and get to know our new house mates." Sirius explained.

Lily just rolled her eyes and the guys sat down with us. I looked over to Luna and she was trying not to laugh. We talked for a little bit and I knew it was time for bed. Luna nodded and went back up to our room.

*Hermione's POV*

I woke up with sweat dripping down my face. I looked around and saw that everyone else was still asleep. I quietly went to take a shower and I looked at myself in the mirror and sighed. I was going to need Ginny and Luna's help. I grabbed my book and opened it.

Girls are you awake? – HG

Yeah, we are both together. What's wrong? – GW/LL

I am going to need your girls help to get ready. Will you do my hair and makeup Gins and Lun? – HG

Sure things. Meet us in ROR. – GW/LL

Be there in a few. -HG

I quietly got out of my room without waking anyone up. I looked down and saw that no one was in the common room. I quickly went to the room of requirement. The room appeared as the burrow. I smiled at the memories that came to me. I whipped the tears away and heard the door open.

I turned to see Ginny and Luna coming in. They ran over and gave me a hug. Ginny gave me a look and asked,

"You okay?"

I just nodded and then said,

"Let's get started. We must make an entrance for breakfast. How it is going to go is you walk me to Slytherin table and then you two go to Gryffindor."

They nodded and we got to work. Ginny did my hair while Luna put some light makeup on me. We walked down the hall and got a lot of looks and whilst from different guy. I smiled and felt confident and proud of myself.

*Sirius's POV*

I was enjoying my breakfast this morning with my friends. All you could hear about was the new girls. I sighed and just ignored them all. Right then the doors of the Great Hall opened and the room went quiet. Everyone looked to the entrance and saw it was the new girls.

They walked the one in the middle in to the Slytherin table. Ginny and Luna both gave her a hug and walked gracefully and confident to our table. They sat near Lily. I could not help but think about the brunette in the middle. I can't remember her name but I do remember last night's incident. I sighed and went back to my meal.

"Did you know that Ginny and Luna is a year younger then Hermione?" Remus said.

"Who is Hermione?" I asked. I was not thinking right now. I was just in my head.

"Are you serious? She is the brunette in the middle of the new girls group. You could say she is the leader." James explained looking over to the Slytherin table.

I glance over and saw that Hermione was looking right at me. She gave me a wink and went back talking to my younger brother. I had this feeling in my stomach and I did not know what it was. James started to snicker and I asked him,

"What's so funny?"

"Oh, nothing it's just you are crushing on the new girl." He told me.

"I am not. She is a Slytherin. There is nothing interesting about a Slytherin. No matter if she is from France." I told him.

"So, you don't think my best friend is good enough?" A voice asked behind me.

I turned around to be face to face with....
