Nova has survived her second year and with a positive outcome - aside from almost dying that is. She is no longer in the shadows and has managed to make lifelong friends, especially from the Boy Who Lived. She is now back for her third year and sadly with new stress for the newly turned teen: - Tensions run high as school has gotten harder, especially for her and Hermione. - Friendship has begun straining between Ron and Hermione which is dividing the four and there is not much she could do. - New people have decided to enter her life, one being welcoming, the other not so much which is another added headache. - If that wasn't all, a mass murderer escaped Azkaban and not only is he after Harry Potter, but her as well. - The cherry on top of this is that the escapee goes by the name of Sirius Black and the Ministry of Magic is now keeping a watchful eye on her and not in the way they have on the Boy Who Lived. - What relation does the escaped prisoner have with Nova herself and why does the Ministry of Magic have it out for her because of this? Can Nova survive this new year or will the tension and stress of it all get the better of not only her but them all? ________________________________________________________________________ Set in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban book version.

"Getting hold of the recipe will be very difficult. Snape said it was in a book called Moste Potente Potions and it's bound to be in the Restricted Section of the library." ... "But there's something else," said Hermione with a troubled expression with Ron and Harry looking at her confused. "since the Polyjuice Potion is such an advance potion I'm afraid it would be too complicated with the current level of knowledge I have of Potion making-" ... "Then what would be the point of getting the book if you can't make the potion, Hermione," said Ron raising his hands in exasperation. "Would you let me finish what I was going to say, Ronald," said Hermione with a glare towards the male. "Like I said, my level of knowledge would not be enough, BUT, I know someone who is capable of making it, and before you go on about not involving anyone else or flat out reject the idea...Harry...I can safely and with certainty say this person can be trusted...you've both met her before actually..." "And who is that?" asked Harry. Hermione brightly smiled. __________________________________________________________________________________ In which an unknown girl comes out of the shadows thanks to the trio.

#180 in Fanfiction || #1 in Hermione || In the language of literature, there exists a seemingly-concrete, antonymous relationship between good and evil, light and dark, hero and monster. And yet, we often disregard the transition from one to another, in which the 'bad guy' becomes 'good.' Perhaps it was the cruel mistreatment of Tom Marvolo Riddle as a child, or maybe it was the bloodline of Slytherin's heir himself that made the boy into the 'monster' who cannot be named. Or, perhaps it was simply because he did not know that his heart would beat in such a frenzy, that his cheeks would redden like a crimson rose, and that his normally-calm facade would melt under the simple gaze of the time-travelling heroine. If I were to bet, I'd say it's the latter. But it matters not why Voldemort could not love, for this is not a story about Voldemort. This is the story of Tom Marvolo Riddle, and how he came into direct conflict and company with the 'brightest witch of her age' ... fifty-years ahead. This is the story of love's recognition, in which the force does not suddenly develop between two people, but a poignant emotion, different for each individual, is uniquely described to be 'love.' Maybe Tom Riddle never loved, much like that of Voldemort. However, as one chooses to stubbornly believe, love existed for Tom Marvolo Riddle as long as he chose to believe that he loved Hermione Jean Granger. ////// NO TRANSLATIONS ARE BEING ALLOWED AT THIS TIME DISCLAIMER: I do not own any of the characters detailed in this book, nor any of the quotations and plot taken from "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows."
