HEY GUYS! I HAVE REVAMPED THIS STORY! PLEASE RE-READ FROM BEGINNING! THANKS!
Chapter One: Blast From The Past
REPOST! Summary: Mary is a Hogwarts 6th year during the trio's 6th year. Only one small problem, Mary is from 1956! An unexplained accident sends her to 1996. It seems that not only Professor Dumbledore can send her back; he knows something about Mary that would be rather difficult to explain regarding her future. And hey, who is supposed to know their own future? But what happens when she falls in love with a student from 1996? Read and find out. Completely AU!

"Mary! Mary! Over here!" Janie Rigenbaum ran down the hall of the Hogwarts Express carrying her knapsack and owl cage.
"Janie, how are you? How was your summer?" Mary greeted her childhood friend from her empty compartment "Hurry up, I saved you a seat."
"It was lovely; we visited the various castles of Ireland. How was yours?" Janie placed her bag on the overhead rack, placing Zeus's cage next to Mary's owl Athena.
"Mine was ok, we didn't travel though. I am telling you, life is so much easier now that we are of age and can use magic. I tried to make a cake using the charm in the cookbook, but it didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. Stop laughing! It wasn't that funny Janie!" Mary explained trying to be stern and attempting not to laugh at Janie's face while telling the story about her attempted cake experience. But that idea went quickly to the wind when Janie finally burst out laughing.
After they had settled down, they began discussing homework, boys, their families (more like comparing, a normal thing to see Mary and Janie do). Janie comes from the "purebloods are superior to everyone else" type of family, while Mary comes from the "we just happen to have all pure blood, why should we be any different" family mentality.
Upon arriving at Hogwarts, Mary and Janie caught up with other slytherin house members and proceeded to the great hall for the traditional arrival feast that followed Professor Dippet's traditional speech. "I think I lost my appetite" Janie pushed away her food with a look of disgust on her face.
"What's wrong?" Mary turned to her friend after swallowing the food in her mouth. "Rodolphus Lestrange is giving me those looks again" Janie replied as she was making gagging noises.
"Why is he looking at you? I would think he would be devoting his time and energy to admiring himself in the mirror as usual." Janie said laughing at her friend's mock gagging.
"My parents want to arrange a match between us, please switch places with me, he is really disturbing me" As Mary and Janie switched places, Janie consoled her friend "I don't think your parents would do that to you, they love you too much to do that"
"My parents are not like your parents Mary, they may love me, but they want that power and prestige more." Janie sighed and tried to eat her dinner.
As the month of September was drawing to a close, Janie forgot all about her parent's intentions, delved into her studies and when possible Janie and Mary thought of ways to try to dissuade Janie's unwanted suitor. Although September 22, would be a date that neither would forget. After leaving the great hall after lunch with Janie, and on her way to muggle studies, Mary noticed someone had dropped a bracelet in the hallway. Being the kind hearted person she is, upon picking it up Mary felt a weird tingling sensation and disappeared.
September 22, 1996
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" The entire Hogwarts student body turned their attention to the sound of the noise. After finding his way through the crowd, Professor Dumbledore knelt to the side of this mysterious girl who had literally fallen from the sky.
"Don't speak, all will be straightened out in my office after you are checked out by Madam Pomfry." Dumbledore spoke softly as he pulled out his wand. "Who is Madam Pomfry? Where is Headmaster Dippet? Where are you taking me?" Mary protested as Dumbledore cast a full body bind and brought her up to the hospital wing.
After an hour with Madam Pomfry, Mary was sent to Dumbledore's office as requested when he left Mary in Madam Pomfry's Care.
"Chocolate Frogs" Mary said and stepped onto the revolving staircase that led to Dumbledore's office. "Come in and take a seat. Sherbet Lemon?" Dumbledore offered as Mary sat down, which she politely refused.
"I don't mean to be rude, but what is going on? Where am I? One moment, I am heading to give this missing bracelet to Professor Dippet and now I'm here. Then the nurse said that she has no record of a Mary Edgeston attending Hogwarts this year." Mary said as Dumbledore inspected the bracelet.
"Hmmm hmmm, just as I suspected." Dumbledore concluded as he placed the bracelet onto his desk and looked at Janie. "Well Ms. Edgeston, this seemingly innocent bracelet is actually a time travel device. The reason that Madam Pomfry has no record of you is that you are roughly 50 yrs into the future."
AN: Sorry! This is a repost, when I looked at this chapter in preparation for chapter two (yes I am writing it now), I noticed that I had the names mixed up.
