A young woman walked along a street, listening to her iPod and carrying her knapsack on her back. She was bopping her head along to the beat, which made her layered, dark brown hair move up and down.
She turned into a nearby forest, as it was a shortcut to her house, she felt a strange feeling in her stomach and placed her hand on it as she looked down.
"I'm probably hungry." She said to no one in particular.
She looked ahead with her blue-green eyes and the next thing she felt was a sharp pull in her stomach.
She was lying on the ground and groaning, someone came over to her.
"Are you okay?" She heard the person asked, the voice sounded male.
She sat up, "Do I look okay to you?" She asked angrily, "Where am I?"
The boy helped her up, grabbing her peach hand with his own pale one.
"You're at Hogwarts." The boy said.
The girl stared blankly at him, "Ha, that's funny. Now seriously, where am I?"
"Hogwarts School of-" The boy started.
"Witchcraft and Wizardry." They finished in unison.
"I know what this school is called, but, really. This is impossible, to say the least."
"How so?"
"It's a long story and I really don't feel like explaining everything I know right now. Who are you?"
"Remus Lupin."
"You've gotta be pulling my leg or something."
"Er…no."
The girl shook her head.
"Fine, okay, I'm having a strange dream but whatever. If you're real I take it Dumbledore is as well?"
"Yes."
"And he's Headmaster right now?"
Remus nodded. "Yea."
"Okay, I need to talk to him. Lead the way?"
"Okay." Remus started walking towards the school and the girl walked beside him. "You never told me your name." He said.
"Oh right, sorry, I'm Rebekah Skeala." Skeala is pronounced Skay-All-Uh.
They walked the rest of the way in almost silence, Remus asked a few more questions which Rebekah happily answered.
When they arrived at the large gargoyle, Remus spoke, "Blood Pops." He said.
"Aren't those for vampires or something?" Rebekah asked as the gargoyle sprung to life and she and Remus jumped on.
"Yes, how do you know so much?"
"I'll explain later."
When they arrived in Dumbledore's office, Remus knocked on the door, "Professor Dumbledore?" He called out.
"Come in." A voice from inside the room said.
Remus opened the door and stepped in with Rebekah following behind him.
"Ah, Remus, hello. And who might this be?"
"I'm Rebekah Skeala, Headmaster, and Remus has some explaining to do."
"Do you now, Remus?" Dumbledore asked, smiling.
"Yeah…I tried a summoning charm out by the forbidden forest and it didn't go well."
"I see. How didn't it go well?"
"Because I'm here!" Rebekah said, indignantly. "Wait a second, what year is it?"
"1976." Dumbledore said simply.
"Oh crap…I haven't even been born yet and…well, in my world you're both book characters and dead."
"Well, this is a predicament."
"You think? Hmm…can Muggles do magic if they have a wand?"
Remus, who had been silent since he came in, shook his head.
"No, they cannot." Dumbledore said.
"Great, Remus can I borrow your wand for a minute?" Rebekah asked.
"Why?" Remus asked tentatively.
"Because I want to see if I can do magic or not."
Dumbledore nodded and Remus passed Rebekah his wand. She pointed it at Remus, who looked slightly scared, and closing her eyes she thought levicorpus. Remus was immediately hoisted into the air by his ankle.
"I can do magic! This is awesome!" Rebekah said happily, she lowered Remus' wand and he floated to the ground.
"Well, this is a surprise. Since you do have magic I suppose you can start school here." Dumbledore said, his eyes sparkling mischievously.
"Awesome! Oh wait; I don't exactly have any money on me. Well, I have a 20 but it's Canadian Muggle money not British."
"That's alright, we have a fund for students who don't have enough money to buy robes and books and such."
Rebekah gave Remus his wand back, "Great, when can I go to Diagon Alley or whatever?"
"Tomorrow after lunch you may go, you may also choose who you go with. First things first, you need to be Sorted."
"'Kay, where's the Sorting Hat?"
Dumbledore stood up from his chair and walked over to a shelf. He picked up a rather crumbly looking old hat that was on top of it and walked over to Rebekah. Dumbledore handed the hat to her and she placed it on her head.
Ah…you're definitely different. You know more than you let on, you do.
Rebekah felt strange, as the voice was only talking to her and was inside her head but she shrugged it off.
Thanks, I guess.
Hm…yes…you have Slytherin qualities…your rages are not normal. Though you do seem to regret it almost immediatelySmart as well.Ah…you love your family and friends. But still, rage and anger often affect how you act.Hm…yes…I choose…Gryffindor!
Rebekah took the hat off of her head and placed it on Dumbledore's desk.
"Ah, Gryffindor it is then. Remus, I trust you'll show Ms. Skeala where the entrance is?" Dumbledore asked.
"Of course." Remus said.
"Now that that is settled, would you mind telling us what you know?" Dumbledore asked.
"Uh…well. I'm not even sure if the books are 100 accurate, seeing as I'm here and I could change how the story ends."
"What books?" Remus asked.
"Harry Potter books. Harry is James and Lily's son. Voldemort hears half of this prophecy that someone makes and sets out to kill the Potters. He succeeds in killing both Lily and James but because Lily sacrifices herself to save Harry the curse bounces off of him and partially kills Voldemort."
"I see." Dumbledore said.
"Yea, but I could stop all that from happening, I could actually make sure that Voldemort dies because I'm here. You see…I know how to kill him."
"How can you know how to kill him?" Remus asked, incredulously.
"Because, Harry kills him in the books. Headmaster, you know how Tom came here years ago and asked for the Defence Against the Dark Arts position and you noticed how much he'd changed?"
"Yes, I remember."
"Well, he's been making Horcruxes."
Dumbledore stared at the small girl before him, "And you know this for a fact?" He asked, his voice somewhat strained.
"Yes, he ends up making seven though I know for sure that the seventh one hasn't been made yet."
"This is very important information you seem to know Ms. Skeala. Do you happen to know where they are as well?"
"Well, Slytherin's ring, which is actually the Resurrection Stone is back at the old Gaunt place. Slytherin's locket is in the middle of a cave that's filled with Inferi in the water. The locket is almost impossible to get to and it's more than likely that you will die trying."
"The Resurrection Stone is real?"
"Yes, as is the Cloak of Invisibility and the Elder Wand. Ravenclaw's lost diadem is in the Room of Requirement, where you need to ask for a place to hide something. Hufflepuff's cup is, or will be, in the Lestrange's vault at Gringotts. And last, is a diary that Lucius Malfoy may or may not have. I don't know for sure the location of the last two or even if he has made all six and hidden them yet."
"This most certainly is a predicament."
"Yes, oh, and if Slytherin's ring is at the old Gaunt place don't put it on your finger, whatever you do."
"Alright, well, that about settles it I presume?" Dumbledore asked.
"Er…" Remus said.
"Yea, pretty much, nothing really happens for another several years." Rebekah said, shrugging.
"Okay, Remus I must ask you not to say a word of this to anyone, you as well Ms. Skeala."
Rebekah and Remus nodded, and then turned to leave.
"Oh, and Ms. Skeala, when you have decided who you would like to go to Diagon Alley with please let me know."
"Yes, Headmaster."
They then left, when they were about halfway to the Gryffindor common room Rebekah turned to Remus.
"You can tell James and Sirius that your Summoning charm went wrong or whatever, I don't care if you tell them, but please don't tell Peter."
"Why?" Remus asked. "Peter's trustworthy. After all, he's kept my secret for several years."
"About you being a werewolf? I know, but I'd rather you didn't tell him, and to everyone else I'm just going to pretend to be a transfer student."
"All right, fine."
They arrived at the Fat Lady a few minutes later, "Gillyweed." Remus said, before the portrait swung open.
Rebekah looked around the common room, "Wow." She breathed out.
"Lily?" Remus called out, looking around. "Lily, are you here?"
A redheaded girl lifted her head from behind a Potions book, "I'm over here Remus."
Remus walked over to Lily and Rebekah followed. "So Remus, who's your friend?" Lily asked, raising her eyebrows and smirking suggestively.
Rebekah laughed, "I'm a transfer student and Remus was showing me around the school."
"Oh, my name's Lily Evans, nice to meet you."
"Rebekah Skeala."
"You only have 4 people in your dorm, right Lily?" Remus asked.
"Yes, Alice Jones, Mary MacDonald, Leannali Geraliun and then me."
"What was that last name?" Rebekah asked her brows close together.
"Leannali Geraliun."
A girl with light brown hair looked up from behind a Charms book.
"Lily, why you calling me by my full name?" The girl asked.
"Because I was naming the people in our dorm."
"Er…'kay, why?"
"Transfer student."
The brown haired girl stood up and walked over to them.
"I'm Nali, pleased to meet ya'." The girl said as Rebekah stared rather blankly.
"What?" Nali asked.
Rebekah shook her head, "It's nothing, I just sort of…yea, anyway. So, I guess we're roommates or whatever now."
"Yep."
Rebekah smiled at Lily and Nali, "So where's our dorm? I need to put my bag somewhere."
"Oh, I'll show you." Lily said, standing up and walking over to the stairs.
Rebekah turned slightly at the last second and saw Remus go up the opposite set of stairs. Lily and Rebekah walked up the stairs and when they got to the dorm room Lily pushed the door open.
"Well, this is it." Lily said.
Rebekah looked around the room, "It's amazing." She said, "Which one's the free bed?"
"The one in the middle."
"Thanks." Rebekah threw her bag onto the bed and then turned back to Lily, "Where's Remus' dorm?" She asked.
"You just met him and you're already asking where his dorm is?" Lily asked, smirking knowingly.
"Uhm…maybe." Rebekah said, laughing.
"Come on," Lily sighed, "I'll show you."
They descended down their set of stairs again and walked up the boy's stairs. Lily stopped in front of a door about halfway down the hall, "Thanks, Lily." Rebekah said as Lily turned to go back down the stairs. She then knocked on the door.
"Who is it?" She heard someone say from inside.
"The tooth fairy." Rebekah said, sarcastically.
A tall male with shaggy dark brown hair and grey eyes opened the door; the male then leaned against the doorframe.
"And who might you be?" The male asked.
"Rebekah Skeala." She said, "Is Remus here?"
"Yea, he's here. Don't you care to know who I am?"
"I'm going to take a wild guess and say Sirius Black, better known by the Marauders as Padfoot."
"How much did Moony tell you?"
"I take it I'm right then." Rebekah muttered to herself, "I'll explain if I can come in."
Sirius stepped aside and Rebekah smiled at him snidely. "Thank you."
Rebekah saw Remus sitting on a bed talking to another male with messy black hair and glasses.
"And this would be James Potter, I presume?"
"Yea, I'm James."
"You do look a lot like Harry, I hope Peter's not here. If he's in his rat form I swear I'll slice off his tail."
"Er, no, he left."
"Good." Rebekah plopped down on a bed opposite Remus, James, and now Sirius.
"So, Moony tells us that you're from a different dimension or something."
"Yea, his Summoning charm went weird and now I'm here."
"Alright, who's Harry anyway?" Sirius asked.
"James' son."
"I don't have a kid!" James exclaimed.
"If what I know actually happens, then you will."
"Who does Prongs marry?" Sirius asked again.
"It's probably going to go to his head, Lily, 'cause your head deflates next year."
Sirius and James high-fived each other while Remus laughed and Rebekah shook her head.
"Oh, it definitely went to his head." Rebekah muttered. "So, do you guys want to know anything?"
"Who do I end up with?" Sirius asked.
"Well…no one…unless you end up with Nali. I haven't even gotten to Azkaban yet."
"What do you mean, 'I haven't gotten to Azkaban yet,' who ends up in Azkaban?" Remus asked.
"Well…I was going by the books here…Sirius does. 'Cause everyone thinks he betrayed James and Lily-."
"Betrays us? Why would anyone think that Padfoot would betray me?" James asked.
"I'd never betray James!" Sirius shouted.
Rebekah sighed, "Everyone thinks that Sirius was your Secret Keeper and betrayed you to Voldemort-"
The three boys shuddered, "Do you have to say his name?" Remus asked.
"Yea, I do. Anyway, Sirius wasn't really your Secret Keeper, Peter was. Peter sold James and Lily off to Voldemort and he comes and kills you and Lily. Lily sacrifices herself to save Harry, your son, and then the killing curse bounces off of Harry and Voldemort…for most reasons, dies."
"Go Harry!" James shouted, laughing.
"Yea…so are you two actually Animagi?" Rebekah asked.
"How do you know about that?" Sirius asked.
"Keep it down!" Remus said.
Rebekah rolled her eyes, "Because I'm a genius. It's a yes or no question, so which is it?"
"Yea-" James started.
"We are." Sirius finished.
"That is awesome. Think you can teach me?"
"It took us years to become Animagi." James said.
"Yea, but with the two of you helping me and showing me what to do then I might become one quicker than you guys."
"Alright, fine." Sirius said.
"Great, so…anything else?"
"Not really." Remus said.
Rebekah smiled shyly at Remus, "You don't talk much do you?"
"Er…sometimes."
Rebekah laughed and shook her head; "I hafta go to Diagon Alley tomorrow, you guys wanna come?"
"Sure," Sirius said, shrugging.
"Alrighty then, I'm gonna go now." Rebekah then stood up and walked out of the boy's dorms.
When Rebekah got back to her dorm she pulled a thick black book out of her bag, as well as a pen, and started to write.
Dear Diary,
Somehow I wound up at Hogwarts. This is completely insane! The most insane part is that Remus bloody Lupin is why I'm here, he tried a Summoning Charm and it didn't work out quite as well as he thought. He's just as cute as I imagined though. He's my favourite character and I know nothing's going to happen, because he's a werewolf, but a girl can dream can't she?
Oh well, I now attend Hogwarts, and I can do magic! I was almost sorted into Slytherin but the Hat decided differently at the last second. Guess it saw something that made it change its mind, figuratively speaking, I wouldn't have minded be in Slytherin that much I guess, though I'm not sure.
Rebekah Skeala
P.S.- The Wolfsbane potion was created shortly before 1993 so I shouldn't go outside when there's a full moon.
P.S.S.- Oh wait, Moony'll be in the Shrieking Shack with Padfoot, Prongs, and Wormtail so I should be fine.
Rebekah then put the book back in her bag and went back down to the common room to see what everyone was up to.
This is my first story in a while, I'm taking a break from my other one's for now because I can't get any good ideas. Please R&R!
