Hi everyone, this is the start of a (hopefully!) multi chaptered fic based around something I read a while ago- to be completely honest I shouldn't really be starting another multi chap considering I still have Not Just Any Old Couple that I haven't updated in OMFG NEARLY A YEAR OMFG HOW DID THIS HAPPEN and I have several other one-shots started so this really shouldn't be being written… Never mind. Enjoy!
DISCLAMER: Kind of obvious, but I own nothing but the plot. Characters are all J.K's.
"Professor, need I remind you how severe the consequences will be, should my true identity and- ahem, circumstances, be revealed?"
"Certainly not, Miss- what should I call you?" There was a pause and then-
"Hermione Granger, Professor. Since I am muggle born I see no reason to complicate things further with a fake name. The rest of the identity shall be enough." A bout of hoarse laughter from the Professor seemed to follow, and then yet again there was silence. "Professor, I do not believe that that we have much more to discuss. The elder you, or rather your portrait, seemed to think that the less you knew the better it would be for all of us." The elder man chuckled once again, and then replied.
"It seems I do not lose my wit with age." More laughter followed and Remus fought to roll his eyes.
Yes, he, Remus Lupin, was eavesdropping. Not on purpose, he assured himself, but rather by accident. Incidentally, tonight was the night of the full moon, and he had come to Dumbledore's office to meet with his designated teacher, to lead him down to the Whomping Willow. When he arrived however, it was to find the door locked and voices from inside. The conversation however, had made it incredibly difficult for him to now leave.
"So, assuming you are happy with the, grantedly little, information I have provided to you, may I leave Professor?"
"Of course, Miss Granger. I find the information most satisfactory. Goodnight. Oh, and Miss Granger-?"
"Professor?"
"I trust you can find your way to Gryffindor tower? It is the only place with a spare bed and I'm afraid you must wait until the morning to be sorted."
"Certainly Professor. Seven years really makes a difference when remembering corridors and secret passages." Remus stifled a gasp. Seven years? "Goodnight. And hopefully tomorrow everyone will see Hermione Granger, Hogwarts' first exchange student, and not Hermione Granger, inter-dimensional time traveller." And with that, a few quick steps were made and the door to Dumbledore's office flung open, leaving Remus stunned and crouching in front of the headmaster and a curly haired witch.
"Well," Said Dumbledore pleasantly. "I see you've met your first Marauder Miss Granger." Behind him, Hermione looked absolutely horrified.
A/N: I know, very short and a bit of a cliffie! I would be VERY much obliged if you guys could favourite/ follow and even (very hopeful here!) review! I probably won't update this for a while cos I'll need to focus on my other multi-chapters and one-shots. However, if anybody wants to leave me a nice long review…. We'll see. Happy 31st of August :)
