I do not own these characters, all J.K. Rowlings, review would be nice please :D

Remus Lupin woke to the sounds of birds chirping, and warm light filtering through his red curtains and giving the room a cosy sleepy feel. Today was a Saturday and it was only 9am, when he woke, he considered the three other sleeping figures in his room, his bestfriends, James, sirius and Peter, thinking that they wouldn't be up until at the very least 12.

So after dressing in a pair of jeans, a dark red long sleeved t-shirt, he pulled on his dragonhide boots and left his hair in disarray as he made his way to the lake with a good book, fully intending to spend the remainder of the morning reading. He walked past the elegantly arched windows that looked out onto the whomping willow, and felt his mood darken as he thought of his 'furry little problem', as James and Sirius called it.

Every full moon, Remus would hurry to the whomping willow, touch the knot in the tree that made the tree limps stop thrashing wildly, whilst he and his bestfriends made their way through the secret tunnel within the whomping willow to the shrieking shack let his furry little problem take hold, whilst his friends took on their animagus forms. He felt blessed at having such amazing friends that wouldn't shun him or treat him as a lesser being because of his being a werewolf.

He felt a smile lift the corners of his mouth.

He entered the great hall, grabbed a piece of toast and grabbed one of the many flasks that lay on the far side or the great hall, near Slytherin's table, and filled it to the top with coffee, as he did most morning's to give him a caffeine boost, which he so desperately needed on the days after the full moon.

He then proceeded to the lake, book in hand when out of the corner of his eye he saw something flicker, he stopped walking, and turned down a part of the castle which had been taped off by the professors to warn students not to come any further. He ignored the tape and stepped under it, feeling extremely curious at what could be so important or dangerous that a whole section of the castle would need to be taped off.

That strange glimmer at the end of the dark hall caught his eye again, he walked towards it, his brow furrowed in concentration as he tried to decide exactly what the swirl of dark grey, black and silver was and then he slipped and pitched forward. He balanced on the tip of his toes willing himself not to fall, when he wobbled slightly and fell anyway.

He heard himself shout then everything went black.

"Unggg" he heard himself groan, grabbing a fistful of his hair.

He felt disorientated, and got to his feet slowly so his head wouldn't spin. He leaned against a wall for support as he tried to think what had just happened, he wasn't sure and decided it was best he left the spot so he didn't get into trouble for being where he wasn't suppose to. He started making his way to the lake once again, but stopped halfway down the corridor, realising he was without his book, he walked back down the hall, feeling very confused when it was no where to be seen, maybe he had left it in the dining room, along with his toast and coffee.

Weird, remus thought, thinking how weird it was because he had been sure, he was holding his things before he walked down the corridor, he shrugged of the feeling and continued on his way to the dining hall. He looked around the hall for his stuff and when he was sure they were no where in sight, he saw a familiar head of messy raven hair, he grinned, feeling slightly surprised that James was up so early, and talking to a pretty girl with curly brown hair. He rolled his eyes as he made his way over, thinking that James had thought of another plan to make Lily jealous, by talking to the pretty witch, he didn't however recognise the girl, maybe she was new?

"James" Remus greeted as he took his place next to the raven haired boy, the boy turned his bright green eyes on him in evident surprise, Remus felt slightly embarrassed at addressing a complete stranger and sitting next to him.

"Oh, i'm sorry - I thought you were-"

Remus was cut off mid sentence, by the sudden in take of breath and the exclamation of his name being said in a shocked whisper by the brown haired witch. He felt confused that she new his name and was staring at him in thorough shock.

"Err, yes?" he said cautiously.

His attention was brought back to the raven haired boy who looked uncannily like James, who had just gasped "It can't be!"

"Well, yes that is my name, as i was saying i'm sorry for mistaking you for my friend James" he replied, the boy and girl were now openly gaping at him.

"What?" He asked feeling self conscious, was there something on his face?, he voiced the thought, and the girl let out a surprised laugh.

"No..no! Remus! Why do you look like a student?" she said getting over her initial shock, as a dawning expression came upon her face. "What year is it?" she asked him.

"Erm.. 1975 - this is weird. I think i'll just-"

" Oh my god"

"What?" he said, feeling a little more than irritated right now.

"You're.. you're.. its 1996!"

He let a wild laugh escape him before asking her if she was drunk.

The young witch walked around the table, grabbed his hand before pulling him out of the hall with her leaving behind the completely shocked boy.

He let her tow him after her, feeling bemused by how weird today was, and then marvelling at how soft and warm her hand was in his. After a moment, he asked her her name, to which she replied, "Hermione", before proceeding to pull him after her.

They arrived outside the headmasters office, and he inquired why they were there, to which she ignored.

She said "Sugar Quills!", and he turned his head to look at her in surprise, and then realised she had said the password to the room instead of shouting randomly shouting sugar quills, he grinned.

They entered the office to find Professor Dumbledore, Remus felt slightly surprised at finding Dumbledore looking at them expectantly as they walked in in the headmasters office/quaters, although did not show it, he merely greeted the professor.

To which Dumbledore smiled.

"Hello Miss Granger, Mr Lupin"

"Headmaster" replied Hermione with a nod

"Oh, you look- different?" said Remus, brow furrowed, there was something different about Dumbledore, he looked somehow older, all remnants of his alburn hair gone, with more lines etched into his wise face.

"Yes, Mr lupin" Said Dumbledore, with that oh so famous twinkle in his eye, "If you'd be so kind, Remus, would you please reaccount the days events to me?" Remus shifted guiltily, i was obvious he'd been found out and he proceeded to tell Dumbledore what had happened that day in the corridor, which was followed by an "I'm terribly sorry Proffessor - don't know what i was thinking, my curiosity just got the better of me!" a silence followed Remus's speech as he stood before the professor, wondering whether he'd be expelled or not.

"Im sorry to inform you of this Remus, but it is no longer 1975, it is 1996. That 'light' you saw was a worm hole created in 1975 created by myself after a failed attempt at trying to duplicate the effects of a time turner with a spell" said Dumbledore shame faced, Remus startled them both by laughing, he laughed so long and hard that he started clutching his sides gasping for breath, as his laughter subsided, he looked up at Hermione and Dumbledore's serious faces and they watched as horror slowly crept up on him and he sat on the floor crossed legged, clutching his hair, breathing hard. As he took control of his breathing he looked up at the two of them and said in a voice drenched in fear, "How will i get back?"
