I own Nothing, Please dont sue!!!!
first attempt at a realy long piece. Will try to update once a week or so if i can...LOVE reviews and love suggestions even more. First time RL/HG so be a little gentle.
Hermione is sent back in time(overused i know, but fun) to change things, and meets the mauraders. One becomes a sister, one a brother, one a lover, and one a corpse. Who will be what in the end?
"Just a few more steps." Hermione thought and she ran down the hallway of the 7th floor of Hogwarts. She could still here explosions coming from the battle still going on down on the lower floors. Why couldn't these bastards ever stop? She had watched Ron be taken down the same way his brother Bill had, savaged to death by the werewolf Greyback. Greyback had then turned to take town Ron's fiancé Luna Lovegood who was already bleeding on the floor, when out of the blue, like a streak of grey lighting, Remus had come charging down on Greyback with a ferocity that bordered on madness. Hermione had only been able to watch, her hovering in the shadows blind to the other battles going on around her, waiting for a clear shot. But the battling werewolves were a blur of grey fur and flying blood and random bursts of red light. Finally Greyback had been tossed against a pillar so hard she had heard his spine crack from across the hall. Remus collapsed to the ground. She ran to Remus blindly ignoring anything else going on around her. She knelt down beside him. He was barely recognizable. His lower body was shredded to the bone and his upper was coated on a foul smelling mix of blood, dirt, and burnt flesh. She didn't care. This was the only person who truly understood her. Harry and Ron were like best friend and brothers rolled into one, but Remus was a kindred spirit. He understood why she always felt the need to prove herself the best because she was muggle born. He understood better than anyone. They had spent hours in Grimmald place researching the Horcruxes so that Harry could find and destroy them. They had become close friends during that time and now he was dying. She held his hand
"You did it Remus, You killed Greyback."
He smiled weekly at her as blood flowed from the corner of his mouth
"He had it coming." "Take care Mione" He said, as the light faded from hid eyes.
She felt the tears pouring down her face but knew she had no time to mourning. She had to help Harry. She had finally made it to the entrance to the North Tower entrance on the 7th floor when there was a blinding flash and two shrill screams shattered the night sky. Then a silence fell over the entire castle. Hermione paid no heed and ran up the last of the stairs, flung open the door, and saw the most wonderful and the most horrific thing she had ever seen in the same place. There was Voldamort laying truly dead, his shattered wand at his side. She wanted to shout in triumph, until she saw Harry lying dead across from him, his wand shattered beside him as well. A low moan escaped her lips. No, not Harry, it can't be. She felt to her knees, all her strength gone. It was a hollow victory. The war was over but the cost was too great for her to bear. She heard a low coughing amongst the rubble. Numbly she followed the sound. It was coming from under a pile of debris to small to be hiding an actual person. She moved the dust and debris to find Dumbledore picture still in tact and Dumbledore himself still in one piece, if but a little shaken up.
" Oh professor, their all dead. Sirius, you, Ginny, Ron, Remus, Harry, they are all gone." She cried.
Dumbledore shook his head." All is not lost my dear." He said.
"How can you say that!" she yelled "They are ALL dead. I am the only one left. I am all alone." She broke down sobbing.
Dumbledore spoke quietly as if he was afraid of being overheard. "My dear listen to me, what do you want the most?"
She wiped her eyes and thought of Remus's last words to her. Take care he had said. Hermione looked Dumbledore portrait strait in the eyes, "I want to take care over everyone, make everything right again. But that isn't possible anymore."
Dumbledore eyes twinkled: Anything is possible my dear you just need to know what is required." He said with a wink.
The thought dawned to Hermione. She stood up "thank you…for everything professor." And dashed back down to the 7th floor corridor till she saw the section of wall she was looking for. She took some deep breathes and started walking back and forth in front of the wall. "I need a way to save my friends, I need something that will help me fix everything, and I need a place to do it in." She kept on repeating it to herself as she walked back and forth in front of the wall. She knew it was only supposed to take 3 passes so after the 9th time walking by she was about to give up when she saw it. It was unlike any of the other doors that had previously appeared there. For one, it looked to be made of solid gold, but somehow still liquid for the light was dancing off it in strange ways. Two, it had no handle. She reached her hand out tentatively to touch the door. When she tried to her hand started to pass right thru. Just jumped back as if she had been bitten and her hand was icy cold. She thought of how alone she was now, how everyone was gone. NO! Things will not be like this is I can find something to help me fix it, no matter what the cost. She took a deep breath and with out another thought, jumped towards the door. She felt a swirling mist in side her head and a pain beyond her imagining. It was as if she was being stabbed with a thousand knives. Then everything went dark.
She felt as if voices were near and she felt strangely suffocated. She realized, as her brain became clearer, it was because she was lying in the hospital wing of Hogwarts and was wrapped in about twenty blankets. The people she heard talking were a few beds down from her. The voices, though a little fuzzy, sounded vaguely familiar to her.
"No you can't see her, she hasn't woken up. Now please leave. You have no right to be here"
"We have every right to be here, we found her."
"She is not a gob stone to be picked up in the park..."
"We just want to know she's ok."
That last voice…she knew that voice
"Whose there." She said hoarsely trying to stand up.
They turned and she saw, living and breathing, a young Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and what looked like Harry but had the wrong eyes. She hit floor with out a sound and passed out.
