Where the New Future Begins

Chapter 9

Right there stood Professor Granger. We starred at her and she told McGonagall that she had it. She took us to her class room and said,

"You will be having detention with me. Don't worry it won't be anything hard. I just want you to help me organize my room to make it neater and personal."

I looked over to Sirius and saw him smirking. This was actually going to be a little easy. All we had to do as organize shelfs and things like that. Hermione started to tell us what to do and we went to work.

*Hermione's POV*

I went to my books and started to look through them. These were older than what she was used to. I walked to my desk and took out my notes. I started to write some more and then I felt eyes on me. I looked over to see Sirius staring at me. I smiled to him and asked,

"Can I help you Sirius?"

"I am just wondering what you are writing. You look like you are distracted." Sirius asked.

I looked down at my notes and I smiled. These notes were important to me. I was writing everything down. I did not want to forget everything that had happened in the future. This was the biggest leap and I was going to jump right in. I looked up to Sirius and said,

"Alright boys, let's take a break."

James and Sirius looked at me surprised and came to sat down in front of me. I smiled to them and said,

"You two are brave men. I think you will go far in life and your pranks are just a way to express yourself and bring the happiness to this school and there is hope in your eyes."

The boys grinned at me and then James asked,

"You don't think our pranks are foolish?"

"Of course not. But there are some that could be harmful to others. If I were you I would focus on making everyone laugh and have a smile, then just a small group. I once knew these two boys they were older than me but they had a heart for the pranks. They would make everyone's day. I knew that they would do big things. But they never were meant to finish school the way they did. So one day they made a big show and left on their brooms. They turned a whole hallway into a swamp. It was incredible. I am not saying that it's alright to drop out of school." I started to ramble.

"So what are you trying to say Mione?" Sirius asked with a grin.

"That you guys be you and if people do not agree don't care about them. Because being yourself is the best thing ever and James can I give you advice on Lily?" I asked.

He nodded and I continued,

"If you really care about this girl than dial it down a little bit. You should treat her as a friend and let her see a different side of you. One that isn't always cocky."

James looked at me smiling and said,

"I think I can do that. Hermione do you think it would work?"

"Of course I do. But you have to stick with it. Do you understand?" I stated.

James nodded and Hermione saw what time it was. She dismissed them early.

*Remus' POV*

I waited for my two best friends for them to get out. They walked into the common room and right up to me. I smiled to them and asked,

"How was detention?"

"It was interesting. We had..." Sirius about to say.

"Hermione as your detention professor." I stated.

"How did you know that?" James asked.

Sirius just shook his head and said,

"You're an idiot sometimes Prongs. Moony is near his monthly thing."

James just slapped himself on the forehead and did know what he was going to say. Of course he was able to know who we had detention with because of the scent on him. I just shook my head and laughed at them. I sighed and said,

"You two are both idiots."

The rest of the night James and Sirius was telling me about their detention with Hermione. She made them organize her classroom. But what mostly interested me was Sirius telling me about her writing in this notebook. He said that she was lost in a train of thought. But she would not tell them anything about it.

"Well, I guess we will have to keep a close eye on our dear teacher now. Don't you agree guys?"
