Chapter 1: Hermione Dumbledore

"…Now on to the last Order of business…" Dumbledore said to the members of The Order of the Phoenix, before he was abruptly cut off by the door slamming open.

"Sorry, hope I'm not late." There in the doorway stood a beautiful young woman who looked to be about 17, 18. She was holding a trunk in one had and on her shoulder there was a book bag. She had beautiful long honey-brown hair which was curled into tiny ringlets that framed her face perfectly. She was wearing low rider jeans that covered legs that seemed to go on for miles. She also had on a light blue halter top that covered the top part of her body perfectly, it showed off how her well endowed breast, which weren't too big or too small, but just the right size. Her face was perfectly angelic. She wore little make-up besides some blush, eye-liner and some pink lip gloss. She had bog doe chocolate brown eyes, which seemed to twinkle with wisdom, knowledge and a bit of mischief, a button nose and nice big full lips. She had a tan olive colored skin, she looked very exotic. All in all, this girl looked like a goddess and no almost everyman in that room eyes bulged out of their sockets. While the women in the room looked on with hate and envy in their eyes.

"Shortcake, how are you?" Dumbledore asked when he saw the girl effectively breaking everyone out of their stupor. The girl looked at Dumbledore and then dropped everything she was holding and ran onto her Dumbledore's arms.

"GRANDFATHER!" She squealed as she squeezed the old man. "Oh, how are you grandfather? I missed you so much!"

"I missed you too my dear. And for once you are not late, but perfectly on time. I was just about to announce your arrival to everyone." And with that he turned to the order. "I would like you all to meet my granddaughter Hermione Dumbledore; she will be joining us in training Harry, Ron, and Ginny, along with attending her last year at Hogwarts."

Gasps were heard all through the room. No one knew, besides a select few, that Dumbledore had a granddaughter. Everyone just assumed that during the last war his family was all killed off.

"Um, hi" Hermione said when she noticed the silence. Dumbledore noticing her discomfort broke in and saved her.

"Hermione, dear, let me introduce you to everyone. Over there in the corner is Alastor Moody, you remember him right. And then in the person sitting all the way over there in the shadows is Severus Snape." Dumbledore said pointing to each person. "Over there, the three men sitting next to each other are the Marauders, or better known as James, Sirius and Remus. The red head with the green eyes is Lily she is James' wife and their son is Harry…" Dumbledore continued introducing her to each person in the room.

By the time Dumbledore finished introducing everyone, they all seemed to be broken out of their trance and all welcomed her with open arms.

After the meeting everyone moved to the dining room to eat some dinner.

"So Hermione, how old are you?" Lily asked the young girl besides her.

"Oh, I am seventeen."

"Seventeen and you're just starting Hogwarts?"

"Oh, well my mama and papa didn't want me to go to school so far away from home, even if it was ran by my grandfather, so they got grandpa to hire a private tutor to teach me at home."

"Where exactly did you live?" Sirius asked. This question got the attention of everyone in the room. They all wanted to know she just how far away this girl lived that no one knew of her existence.

"Oh well I lived in Greece my whole life." Hermione answered.

"If you mother and father didn't want you to attend Hogwarts before why are they letting you attend now?"

"My parents were killed recently. Some Death Eaters attacked them on their way back from work." Hermione said with a sad looked marred her beautiful, exotic face.

"Oh, dear, I am so sorry" Mrs. Weasley said to the girl, pity sparkling in her eyes.

"Oh, it's okay. Death is not the end to life, but the next great adventure. (?)" Hermione said in her best Dumbledore voice. This seemed to break all the tension in the room and soon everyone was laughing. "So my grandfather called you three the Marauders, and even though I know I am going to regret asking this, what does that mean exactly?" Hermione asked, directing her question towards James, Remus and Sirius.

The three in question suddenly brightened up even more. The acquired huge grins and their eyes filled with mischief.

"Well my dear-" James started

"You see-" Sirius continued

"When we were at Hogwarts-" Remus then followed

"We caused our fair share or trouble-"

"You know pranking people-"

"Disrupting classes-"

"Just having fun and causing havoc-"

"And then in our second year-"

"Dear old Minnie over there-"

"Gave us the name-"

"THE MARUADERS!" They finished together.

By end of their little speech Hermione was in tears. She was clutching the sides of her stomach from laughing so much.

"I knew I was going to regret that"

"So, Hermione what is Greece like?"

And that is how dinner went. Hermione People asked questions about Hermione and Hermione asking questions about everyone else. All in all dinner was a very happy affair.

The next morning Hermione awoke to the sun shining in her face and birds chirping outside her window, she took this as a sign that everything was going to go well. Getting out of bed Hermione decided to skip the shower for now and go straight downstairs to breakfast. As Hermione walked down the stairs she began to think of everyone she met the other day. She remembered all the people she met yesterday.

Remus, he was a caring person who was cursed as a child, though that never stopped him from doing his best and proving everyone wrong. Sirius he was handsome, roughish, dangerous and mischievous, a truly bad combination. He was every girls dream, the rebel without a cause. Just by looking at him you could see he had broke many of hearts at Hogwarts back when he was a student. James she thought with a chuckle, he and his best friends Sirius and Remus were truly a unique bunch. They had a unique look on the world. They were just the thing people needed now in these dark times. Lily, her name fit her perfectly she was a beautiful flower that lit up these dark times. She also was the person who kept the Marauders in check when one of their pranks went a tad too far. James and Lily son Harry was the perfect combination between Lily and James. He had the compassion and tenderness of his mother, yet he still had a bit of mischief in him. Harry's best friend Ron was truly a piece of work, though he could be a prat you just have to love him for it. Ginny Ron's sister she was a beauty not yet discovered, a person who if given the chance could hold her own in a battle. Tonks she thought she was a unique person. The metamorphmagus bright hair matched her personality perfectly.

Hermione was so caught up in her thoughts she almost knocked herself into the kitchen door. Blinking out if her thought Hermione entered the kitchen and saw that everyone was already there and eating breakfast.

"Good morning all." She said with a smile on her face.

"So Hermione what are you going to teach us today?" Harry asked the girl.

Hermione had a mischievous smile on her face. "Wouldn't you like to know?" She said with a twinkle in her brown eyes that was not unlike her grandfather.
