Author's note: I decided to write a story about Severus and Hermione because I love this pairing.

As always, read, review, and ENJOY!

Summary: Hermione accidentally travels back in time at the beginning of her fifth year at Hogwarts. While there, she meets 15-year-old Severus. What will happen when Hermione tells him that she is from the future? Will she believe him?

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of its characters.

Uh-oh!

Chapter one: Time travel

"Hi Hermione! What have you been up to all summer?" asked an over-excited Ron.

"Not much. Studying, shopping, movies. Stuff like that.

"You studied over summer vacation?" Harry pretended to look shocked. He wasn't really all that shocked. Hermione was almost constantly studying.

"Of course! I've got nothing else to do!" Hermione laughed.

The trio was on the Hogwarts express, eager to begin their fifth year.

"What have you guys been up to?" Hermione questioned.

"Not much, really. We've just been helping with the cleaning," Ron shrugged.

"Yeah. That's pretty much it," Harry added.

"You've been cleaning all summer?" Hermione looked disgusted.

"Yeah. But it was okay," Harry answered.

After that was said, the Hogwarts Express pulled into Hogsmeade Station.

"Is it just me or is the train getting slower every year?" Ron questioned.

"I think it's just you, Ronald," Hermione laughed.

"I agree with Ron," Harry defended.

"You just couldn't wait to get back. I'll catch up with you in a minute," Hermione told them.

Harry stared after her until she disappeared.

"Come on Harry," Ron said as he walked.

As Harry followed Ron, Hermione was searching along the train. She didn't know what, but she knew she needed to find it.

She was just starting to become discouraged when she saw a strange purple light ahead of her.

"What the...?"

She kept walking and soon found herself in an empty compartment. Well, not completely. Laying directly in the middle of the floor there was an old brown book .

Hermione, being a bookworm, stepped forward and opened it. Inside, she saw a purple sheet of paper. She picked it up and felt a strange sensation start in her midsection.

Before she could even blink, Hermione's feet were lifted off of the ground and she felt the air rush out of her lungs.

Before she suffocated, Hermione felt herself being dropped.

As she sat up, she looked around her. It was the same car she had been in about five seconds ago.

"Harry? Ron?" Hermione called, walking up and down the hallway. When she didn't find them, she began to worry.

Just as she was starting to get really upset, Hermione heard many footsteps coming down the hall.

"Last one off is a rotten egg!" Hermione heard one student shout.

"You're on!" There were about four others.

"Hold up a sec, guys," Lily Evans told them, seeing Hermione.

"What's up, Lils?" James asked, following her gaze.

"Hi. I don't think I've seen you around before. I'm Lily, what's your name?" Lily questioned.

"Hermione. Hermione Granger," Hermione answered.

"I don't think I've ever heard that name before." Lily looked really confused. So did Hermione.

"I don't know where I am," Hermione told Lily honestly.

"We're on the Hogwarts Express," James told her.

"What year is it?" Hermione questioned.

"1976," Lily answered.

What do you think for the starter chapter? Review and let me know. I should have the next chapter up by Friday.
