A/N: I know it's not really an update. I went back and added a little bit more detail to some parts in this chapter. I am trying to get it to be accepted on Mugglenet Fanfiction.

Chapter One

"You honestly can't spend all night down here," Ron said, looking at all the books scattered on the floor of the common room.

"I need to study," Hermione said, setting down her half finished charms essay, "I have to make sure it's perfect."

Ron rolled his eyes with a sigh, "Don't work too hard and get some sleep."

Hermione just nodded her head while Ron headed up to his dorm. Hermione flipped through book after book writing down more charm spells and what they do. After about an hour she stretched out her paper and looked it over with a smile. She stood up and put all the books she was done with on another the table. She looked around at the empty room. She began to pick up her now finished work when she noticed a book under a chair. She quickly grabbed the book and starting flipping through it, writing all the charms spells she could find. About half way through the book she stopped and looked carefully at a page. It looked like a very difficult charms spell, but apparently someone didn't want anyone to know what it did, since the information about it was blacked out. At the top it said 'very tricky spell. Do not attempt to use'. Hermione quickly wrote it down and rolled up her parchment. She looked around before looking at the spell.

"I have to see what it does," Hermione muttered, taking out her wand.

Hermione looked around again, before muttering the spell. There was a bright flash of red and than darkness. She looked around and noticed the books were gone and all her other things were gone. She still had her roll of parchment in her hand though. She looked outside and noticed the sun was coming up.

"It can't be that late," Hermione said, "It was only 3 when I finished. Well, I better go to breakfast, really no time to change out of these clothes. I'll come back later."

Hermione headed down to the Great Hall. She sat down in her usual spot and began eating, not even noticing the odd stares she was getting from a few people.

"What happened to you dating Lisa?" Someone asked.

Hermione didn't seem to notice the three boys and girl sit right next to her.

"I couldn't stand her laugh," Someone else said.

Hermione rolled her eyes and looked at them about to say something. She nearly fell out of her seat in shock at the people sitting there.

"Prongs, please put some sense into Padfoot," the girl said.

"I can't," James said, and then noticed that Hermione was staring at them. "Hey there new person."

Hermione looked at them again before fainting. When she opened her eyes, she was in the hospital wing.

"Look, she's waking up," Sirius nearly yelled.

"Sorry about what James did," Emily said, "He can be a bit scary sometimes. Are you alright? You did hit your head pretty hard."

"I'm fine Professor," Hermione groaned.

"Please, let her rest," Poppy said, "and visiting time is over."

Emily, Remus, Sirius, and James left the hospital wing and the first person they ran into was Lily, who was looking more than mad.

"Heard about the new girl," Lily said, folding her arms, "can you guys go one day without sending someone to the hospital wing. It was her first day after all. What a nice way to remember it."

"We didn't do anything," James said, "She just fainted."

"Probably after you hexed her," Lily snapped, quickly walking back down the hall.

"The one time I actually do something good and she blames me for it," James sighed.

"Well, you did actually cause it," Emily said, looking at James with a smile on her face.

"What do you mean I caused it?" James asked, folding his arms, "I didn't say anything to her."

"Wrong," Sirius said, "You said hello to her."

"Saying hello is not a hex," James said, "Now I'm down. Let's go curse Snape."

Hermione watched as they left the room before groaning again. Poppy quickly came over to her and handed her a drink.

"This should help," Poppy said, "quickly drink it. Dumbledore and McGonagall are coming."

Hermione sat up and drank her drink, noticing that it was just water. The water did make her feel a lot better. When she was finished, Poppy took the cup and went to her office. About a minute later in walked McGonagall and Dumbledore.

"My dear," McGonagall said, "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I fainted," Hermione said.

"Sorry, that's not what I meant," McGonagall said, "You're not a student here. Are you visiting someone?"

"I'm a student," Hermione quickly said, "I'm Hermione Granger, Gryffindor seventh year. My two best friends are Harry Potter and Ron Weasley."

"There is not student by that name," McGonagall said, "We do have a James Potter and used to have Arthur Weasley."

"But they're out of school and have kids," Hermione said, looking at McGonagall as if she was crazy.

"I see the problem," Dumbledore said, with a small smile, "You must be from the future. We cannot ask you anything about it, in fear that we'll change the future more then we have now. I will personally be working on away to get you back. Now, McGonagall will give you a schedule and introduce you to the rest of the Gryffindors."

Dumbledore left the room, leaving Hermione looking up at McGonagall who still looked the same in her time.

"So," McGonagall said, now looking all serious, "first things first. You're from a secret wizarding school, so you can't say the name. There are many schools like that; no one will know the difference. You can keep your name since there are no students with the last name Granger."

McGonagall pulled out her wand and began waving it around. A parchment flew out of nowhere. McGonagall handed it to Hermione.

"Now then," McGonagall said, "about you're robes. They look different from ours. So, I'll send up some new ones with the trunk that will be sent up to your dorm."

"Okay," Hermione said, "but what about all my books?"

"They will also be in the trunk," McGonagall said.

"When we'll you introduce me?" Hermione asked.

"I'll go up to the common room right now and tell them there is a new student here," McGonagall said, "that will make it easier for you. I'm sure you'll be back on your feet tomorrow."

Hermione nodded her head, while McGonagall left the hospital wing. Hermione sat in silence for about five minutes before she got out of bed and looked out the window. The sun was going down, but it was still light enough to see the grounds. Near the lake she saw James and Sirius in a dual with Snape. Remus was just sitting there reading a book, while Emily was lying next to him watching the fight. Peter was just staring at the dual like a happy little school boy. Snape was clearly losing, since Sirius had just hexed his wand out of his hand. His wand fell next to a tree by the lake. Hermione quickly opened the window and yelled a shield charm around Snape. James and Sirius's spells just bounced right off. Everyone quickly looked up at the window just in time to see Hermione close the window. Hermione backed away from the window and went back to her bed. She didn't want to see what happened next. She just got into bed and went to sleep.

"How the heck did she do that," Peter squeaked, staring up at the hospital wing window.

"It's not that hard of a spell. We learned about it last week in charms," Remus said, rolling his eyes from behind his book.

"Looks like your safe until that charm wears off," James said.

Snape grabbed his wand by the tree and without saying anything, headed back to the castle looking more than mad. James and Sirius watched him walk off a bit mad that they didn't get to finish the dual.

"That was a nice fight," Emily said, "What a draw."

"No," Sirius said, folding his arms with a grin on his face, "we won. Snape didn't stand a chance after he lost his wand."

"Sure," Emily said, "Just keep telling yourself that."

Sirius looked at James for support, but he was looking up at the window.

"Why would she do that to me?" James asked, looking around at them, "I didn't do anything to her."

"You did do something to her," Sirius said, "You sent her to the hospital wing on her first day."

"Look at the time," Remus quickly said, not wanting this to turn into a fight, "the sun is nearly down. We should be heading back to the common room."

"Fine," James said, than yelled up at the window, "but I'm not going to forget about this."

The five of them walked in silence back to the common room. When they arrived, everyone seemed to be talking about the new kid. Some of them were looking at James. He could hear them whispering that he had sent her to the hospital wing. Emily looked at James with a small smile before giving him a small pat on the back.

"Well," Emily said, "I'm going to bed. Goodnight."

Emily headed up the girls stairs. The four boys headed up to their dorm as well. James didn't want to stay down there anymore. Everyone was quiet as they walked up to bed, but they started talking again when they were out of site.

"Tomorrow will be great," Sirius said, "Hogsmeade weekend."

"Just go to bed so it will come sooner," James groaned.

"You mean I have to go to sleep for it to come faster?" Sirius asked, grinning.

"Yes, the whole time depends on you," James said, "So go to bed."

Sirius stuck out his tongue, but got ready for bed anyway. Peter was the first one in his bed and was fast asleep in just a few minutes. Everyone looked over at him when he snored. Remus shook his head while he got into his bed. Remus got a book from under his pillow and started reading. He fell asleep with the book on his lap. Sirius sat on his bed with wide eyes. Sirius watched as James laid down.

"I will not sleep," Sirius nearly yelled, "Time will just have to go slow."

"Go to sleep before I hex you," James muttered, showing Sirius his wand.

Sirius threw a pillow at James, who didn't seem to have noticed. Sirius looked back at James and noticed that he was asleep. Giving a small sigh he too went to sleep.

Sirius threw a pillow at James. James picked up the pillow and put it with his with a grin on his face. James put his wand away before falling asleep. Sirius stared at him for awhile, before standing up and going to get his pillow. He pulled it out from under James's head, and oddly James didn't wake up. Sirius just sighed and went back over to his bed and laid down. Giving another small sigh he went to sleep.
