Hermione Granger did not like guys, no scratch that she could not get guys. Not like she wasn't interested in them or she wasn't pretty but it was because she wanted a lasting relationship. Not a one night stand, like most of the guys, wanted, she knew. She wanted to have a nice house steady job and a good husband and maybe even 3 little children running around or reading books. She was not fit for this time period when it came to men. They did not want to wake up to the same face every morning and see the same person every day, whereas Hermione did. Her thoughts with guys were they don't make them like they use to.

Cookies and Hard Decisions

Hermione Granger walked through the park to get to Grimlands Place. The Order had a meeting that night. She concentrated on the address and then entered the place that held so many memories. She walked down the hall, where she heard voices. Ron's and Harry's to be exact. " Take that you." " Oh no you didn't, so take that." "Hahhahahaha" She walked in not expecting to see what she saw in the kitchen. Her boys as she referred to them as we're having a cookie batter fight.

"Hey" She called as she entered the ever so messy kitchen. Ron had a Spatula in his hand and was waving it around like a crazy person, was standing in the corner. He turned and saw Hermione with an exasperated look. He had a guilty look and said " Ummm... well we were hungry and you know ... tried to make.." She interrupted him. " A mess, cause it sure looks like you achieved that and you didn't um... you know try to even keep the umm.. you know the kitchen clean." She mocked him. She heard a laugh behind her and got greeted by a man covered in batter and looking sheepishly at her. It was the one and only Boy Who Lived. He tried to look serious but failed. She rolled her eyes at him. Harry tried to make an excuse on why the floor was covered with ingredients and why the walls where splattered. " Well, Mrs. Wesaly was out so we tried to um make cookies and... um... Ron started the batter fight!" Harry blurted out. "Thanks, mate, I know you have my back" Ron muttered sarcastically.

"What do you boys say?" Hermione questioned

"Sorry," The boys said.

Right about then the Order shows up, they take one look at, the kitchen, the boys and Hermione lecturing the boys, and burst out laughing, with the exception of Severus Snape, Narcissa Malfoy, and Molly Weasley. Molly starts cleaning up while glaring at the rest of the Order. Remus was laughing so hard his sides hurt, his wife Tonks had joined him in laughter after seeing the cookie battered covered boys. Sirius had been laughing so hard he was now on the ground howling. Draco snickered in the background. The rest of the Order was laughing and some had amusement in their eyes, Albus Dumbledore. After a good 4 minutes, the Order had started cleaning to get back on Molly's good side. After all the kitchen was clean along with the boys, they sat down to have their meeting. With Voldemort gone and no danger in sight, it was more for fun and good times sake, only one big issue was going to be needed to address.

" Well my dear Hermione, I believe sending you to 1667 would be a good thing."Albus Dumbledore said.

Draco said, " It will help you find love so we don't have to hear about you non- existent boyfriend and it would be educational." He had a smirk on and seeing Hermione huff it grew wider.

"It would be to test out a new potion, however, if the potion malfunctions or you want to come back in here just take this potion," Remus said handing her a small bottle with a sealed cap.

"It would serve a purpose, your purpose would be to fall in love and you can't leave the time period until you figure out and get the purpose done, "Blaise said. Harry added more to the growing number who were for the potion. " You will be perfectly safe and it will be good for you but also to the world of science."

Hermione's thoughts were whirling. Should she, should she not? It would be a great opportunity and educational. Fred's voice brought her back to reality. "You did always say that they don't make men as they use too. Would going back hundreds of years help?" His teased her.

She looked determined then said, " Alright give me the potion."

Tonks had asked if she was sure she wanted to do this. Hermione replied, "Give me it before I lose my nerve."

Severus Snape stepped forward and explained the potion. It would transform her clothing each time she went to a different era, and it would change clothing because it would take more than a day to capture the purpose and get it all done. She would have money when needed for it would magically appear from her bank account as it had been manipulated with magic, and she would live in whatever house address was in her pocket. She would have her wand but make sure the muggles don't see it. And she could go by her real name and no telling anyone she was in the past.

So she took the potion in Severus' hand and gulped it in one, made a face then felt a familiar pull in her stomach like she did when she used the time turner back in her 3 years.
