Where the New Future Begins

Chapter 13

"Well, Hermione I did everything I could test and I found out that this potion with the help of Horace. We think it is to erase everything." Dumbledore explained.

I did not know what to say. I could not believe it. I looked at Dumbledore and asked quietly,

"Who knows?"

"That is the question I am worried about, Ms. Granger." Dumbledore admitted.

I did not know what to do or say. There was a lot going through my brain. There was someone out there that knew something about me and I fear that they know too much. I walked out of Dumbledore's office in a daze. I did not know where I was going but I knew one thing was that I was in danger.

I looked around and saw that I was by the big tree near the lake. I always came here with my two best friends when there was something wrong. I sighed and sat down. I closed my eyes and thought about my best friends and all the great memories we had around the tree.

*Flashback*

"Hermione?" Harry asked.

"Yes Harry. What is it?" I asked.

"How do you think this is all going to end? Will we all be alright?" Harry asked.

Ron looked over to his best friends and you knew he was thinking about the same thing. They just came back from Dumbledore's funeral. Molly gave them time on Hogwarts grounds. Hermione sighed and said,

"Well, I think everything has changed and I think that we have changed a lot since we were eleven. But I do know is that everything will turn out right. Because our friendship means so much that it is inspiring to others. We give hope to everyone. I promise you that the future will be brighter because of what we all are sacrificing."

"Just promise me that we will stick together no matter what. We are the truest of friends. We are the second generation of the Marauders." Harry said smiling.

*End flashback*

"I am so sorry Harry. I broke your promise. But I do promise to make the future better for you all." I said under my breath.

"Hermione, are you alright?" A voice asked from behind me.

I knew the voice as but I did not want them to see me like this. I sighed and said,

"I'm alright. Thanks for asking. I just have a lot but don't worry about it."

"Are you sure? Because it seems like you are not. Mione please look at me?" The voice said.

I did not know what to do but something about his voice made me turn around. There I was facing Sirius Black. I looked down quickly. I swear I saw pity in his eyes. A hand touched my chin and made me look up. I was eye to eye looking at Sirius in the face. He sat down next to me and said,

"I can tell you have a lot of walls and is closed up. I don't know what exactly you been through but if you need someone to have a shoulder to cry on then I'm here for you." He said.

I gave him this look and a lot was going through my brain. The Sirius I knew from my time was different from this Sirius. This Sirius was more light and free. You could tell that he had some secrets but nothing like the future one. But there was still the fact that he was as caring now as he was in the future.

I did not know what happened next. It all happened all so fast. I was kissing Sirius Black and he was kissing me back.
