Mascara
**
Oh. Holy. Mother of Merlin, Hermione thought as she watched the cobbled stone floor of the Entrance Hall blur into a grey swirl; the young Gryffindor boy's hex had barely grazed the hair of the Slytherin he had been aiming for, and, apparently, the spell didn't react kindly to Time-Turners.
The petite muggleborn had thought that her need for the obscure, gold, magical instrument had passed, but the Seventh year had brought with it NEWTs - and Hermione Granger was never one for doing something at less than one hundred percent – and her inanimate friend from Third year was returned, with a hefty wad of papers detailing what could go wrong, and the penalties should one of the mentioned problems arise.
Now, however, Hermione had no clear sense of what was happening, except that it couldn't be good, and it most likely, would have taken her somewhere inconvenient, as her luck would have it.
The enormous stone interior came back into focus, albeit without the crowd from her present time. A lone girl – Ravenclaw, judging from her robes – stood motionless and, seemingly, stupefied, her eyes were enormous and rather like a deer in the headlights of a semi-trailer, Hermione thought.
Well, now I know it's not anytime near the present, Hermione was certain she knew the majority of the school, at least by face if not by name.
"Hello." Hermione ventured, smiling at the clearly frightened girl. It seemed to pull her from her stupor, as she shook her head and backed up several steps.
"How did you do that? You can't App-"
"Apparate or Disapparate in Hogwarts, I know." That didn't have quite the effect Hermione had hoped for, as the girl was now giving her a look that positively screamed panic.
"I was practicing a Disillusionment Charm." She inserted, hoping the girl didn't know the whole of the Gryffindor House by name. The girl narrowed her eyes, and Hermione mentally crossed her fingers.
"Oh, that makes sense, I suppose. Although, try and refrain from just materialising in front of people like that; it's not funny, not at a time like this." The Ravenclaw responded, before turning on her heel and leaving Hermione alone in the large space.
When she'd disappeared from sight, Hermione let out a heavy sigh, only to be startled by a man's voice behind her.
"Well played, my dear, but it will take more than that to explain your arrival to me." Hermione spun, to come face to face with her Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore. His eyes were twinkling, as per usual, but they held a wariness that she'd never seen directed at her.
"Headmaster!" She exclaimed, to his apparent great amusement. "Erm, I do need to speak with you, sir. If you'd be so kind..." She told him, trailing off at the end of her request.
**
When Dumbledore had told her the year was 1977, the brunette witch had almost fainted, but she had buried that feeling and proceeded to explain what she could to the Headmaster who, in turn, agreed to help her in any way possible. This included the inception of a plan that involved Hermione's integration into school life, naturally, with the help of Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall – whom Hermione was dreadfully pleased to see, whether the older woman knew her or not. They held a strong relationship in the future which Hermione wished to retain here in the past.
Given that Hermione was muggleborn, she, Professor McGonagall and the Headmaster had decided that it would be prudent she keep her name and project a lie that she had attended a co-educational magic school in Australia, where she'd lived with her English parents before their untimely death the previous month. They had been good friends of Professor McGonagall, and she had ensured that her safety and self was to be well cared for by bringing her to Hogwarts to complete her education and build a new life, with her in England.
It seemed to cover everything, and it hid her in plain sight. She would become just another student.
"Well, then our newest Gryffindor, I think I'll let you settle in, again, as it were." Minerva smiled gently. "I'll take you to your Common Room, now. Introductions to be made, and all - better now than breakfast in front of all the other houses." She suggested wisely.
The trip had been uneventful, Peeves had flown by, curious about the Transfiguration Mistress's companion, but he had left soon enough, off to find 'ickle firsties' he told them – McGonagall frowned resignedly at the poltergeist who was now zooming away from them, across the ceiling, singing raucously.
The Fat Lady, surprisingly hadn't been snoozing when they arrived, but that had been the least of her problems. For at the exact moment the two women turned the corner to see the portrait, four boys – one with a mop of scrappy black hair and glasses, another with patched-up robes and a book, a small, rotund blond boy, and an elegant dark haired boy – exited.
"Minnie, darling, it's been too long! You know how I adore your visits." The boy began waggling his eyebrows suggestively, but the rest of his greeting was stifled by an ear-piercing scream. The boys' hands flew to cover their ears, and Professor McGonagall flinched violently at the unexpected outburst.
Hermione slapped her hand over her mouth when she'd recovered her wits. She had known, of course, that being in the 70's indicated that she would be attending school with people she knew as adults – or in this case, people that she had known as adults. But somewhere between acknowledging that and understanding it, she had managed to completely forget that these people included, namely, James Charlus Potter, Remus J. Lupin, Peter ' the rat' Pettigrew, and, one, Sirius Orion Black; ladies man. She was at school, in 1977, with the Marauders themselves.
It took a moment after she finished screaming to notice that Sirius was looking decidedly pouty, as James laughed outright and Remus sniggered behind his hand. Peter merely looked confused. And rather startled.
"You've had some denials Sirius, mate, but nothing that extreme." James gasped out, between laughs. Sirius scowled, before returning a winning smile to his aristocratic features.
"Minnie, you haven't introduced us to your lovely friend." He spoke, ignoring the intermittent and rather unattractive snort from James as he did so, gently grabbing Hermione's dainty hand. "I am Sirius Black, at your service, lovely lady." He smiled charmingly, planting a kiss on her knuckles. She supposed she would have been sufficiently charmed; had she not been exposed to the cheeky Marauders for a solid period of time, in the particularly confined location of Grimmauld Place. That, and the fact that he had been dead. For two years, in her present time.
Other than that, she considered, she would certainly have been charmed.
Hermione gave a tentative smile in return, and was then accosted by James, who gave a similar introduction. Remus inclined his head, telling her his name, and then Peter's, who blushed and looked away, which made it a great deal easier for Hermione to ignore him (in place of murdering him where he stood, as she so desperately wanted to at that moment).
Professor McGonagall looked as if she would have liked to roll her eyes at the boys' antics, but she merely explained that they would come to know in good time if they returned into the Common Room.
Hermione, despite loving to be the centre of attention when divulging information, hated being paraded as she was now. Thus, they had made the process rather quick, and the Marauders had somehow managed to assert to the entire Common Room that she was their new best friend and were playing an obscure game of Twenty Questions that didn't actually involve 'Questions' so much as 'Answers' - primarily in the categories of 'Far-Fetched' and 'You Wish'.
Hermione had spent the majority of the time absorbing information and surreptitiously glancing at Sirius, whose whole demeanour was drastically different to the emaciated, harrowed and lost man who had escaped Azkaban. Of course, in the future he had displayed bouts of this character, but it had been, for the most part, buried deep inside of him.
The petite witch only realised she'd been staring when Sirius caught her eye and winked, a smirk painted on his face. Her cheeks coloured lightly, but she was saved from further embarrassment when a red head with green eyes that she knew too well interrupted the game.
"Hi Hermione, I'm Lily Evans, Head Girl." She smiled and put her hand out for Hermione to shake. She complied and smiled back, despite the disconcerting sense of looking at Harry.
"Nice to meet you."
Lily was something else entirely. James wouldn't do anything against her, although according to the soft mutterings of Sirius and Remus in her ears this was a new development after he'd obtained the position of Head Boy, to the ginger girl's Head Girl. He'd finally figured out that being mature could pay off just as well, if not better, than pranking the girl and being a general pain in the rear.
So, Hermione, what was it like in Australia? I've always wanted to visit." Lily asked, curious to find out more from the new girl.
Hermione paused, wondering how she should proceed.
"It was a lot warmer for one thing," she said, and smiled, "but the culture is so very different from England, what with the convicts and isolationism. Although, I did have an advantage: having two English parents." She added a sad little smile and thought about her own parents, back in her real time, and wondered whether anybody knew what had happened; whether she was creating new memories for people, a parallel universe, or whether this had already happened – because, after all, she was near thirty years into the past.
Only Lily was particularly interested, so soon enough the conversation turned tail and Quidditch became the topic of the evening.
"I can't believe – no - I don't believe you don't fly!" James exclaimed, looking as if somebody had kicked his puppy. "It's the best thing about the Wizarding World." Lily coughed to cover a snort of laughter, as Hermione remained reclined while she vehemently supported her choice not to fly.
"Are you saying, that if I threw you out that window", James pointed to the window to their left, pushing his glasses higher up his nose, "with my Comet you wouldn't be able to fly?"
Hermione raised an eyebrow, her mouth twitching as she fought off a smile.
"Why, Mr Potter, are you insinuating that you'd throw me out of that window?" The boy could have been Harry's double, but not moreso than at that moment when he looked positively aghast at the suggestion, much as Harry had when he'd accidentally suggested that Ginny wasn't as attractive as Fleur. That had been a highly entertaining week for the females in Gryffindor Tower, although, sadly, the boys had all sided with Harry in sympathy.
"I never said that!" James denied, pink in the cheeks, as Sirius stood flamboyantly.
"Prongs, how could you!" Sirius shouted, as if he had been personally slighted. "Suggesting such a thing…to a woman of such calibre." He tutted at his mate although it was clear to everyone that his eyes held nothing but laughter.
"I must entreat you, good sir, to a battle! I will not have you dishonour my beloved in this way." Hermione looked greatly amused. Sirius had always been entertaining, but not like his. Like this, he was downright hilarious; creating fun for the benefit of his peers – and himself.
Sirius made a great show of inspecting the cushions, but apparently decided they were too girly, as he suddenly alighted across the room towards two Fifth year girls who had been – up until Sirius' arrival – fiddling with Muggle make-up.
When he returned, with a triumphant smirk plastered on his face, Sirius pulled his hands from behind his back, holding two 'maybelline' mascara wands.
James' grin matched his, and he joined his best mate on the floor with a flourish, grabbing the electric blue mascara wand.
"I accept your challenge." The two Gryffindor poster boys' faces were falsely serious as they took position in what was now the centre of what could only be called a fight-ring. Hermione rolled her eyes good-naturedly at them but accepted Remus' hand up to take pride of place at the foot of the stair case.
They looked expectantly at Hermione, and she sighed.
"You may begin."
The mock-fight was the sort of thing that attracted attention, and that it did: the whole of Gryffindor had filled the Common Room, tussling with each other to get the best seat for the show.
It hadn't disappointed.
Sirius whipped the lid off his mascara wand, throwing it to the crowd – or at least to a bunch of highly excitable thirteen year olds who had made a right old riot – and made several faux-passes at James, who followed through with the same flinging-of-mascara-lids, but turned to Lily and raised the small container in front of his face in salute to his 'lady-love'.
Lily smiled strangely, and waited until he'd turned back to Sirius before snickering, and sharing a knowing look with Hermione. Both girls turned their attention back to the floor, watching as James began some awkward stabbing motions with his mascara. Only one wasn't blocked by Sirius, who, as a result, gained a bright blue, striped smudge on his left cheek.
"You are a strong warrior, but I tell you this; I will have at you, just as you do me." Sirius parried, and manoeuvred gracefully in a perfect prima donna pirouette before dragging the soft bristles over James' nose, adding a black mark to his mate's skin.
They had to stand close together, what with the mascara being shorter than a hand-span, but it only added to the excitement and entertainment value of the boys' deeds as they flailed and stabbed and drew all over each other in a wild show of highly obscure honour.
Somehow, Sirius managed to distract James and mash the mascara bristles together, hooking James' weapon and thrusting his hand away, causing the make-up instrument to be thrown across the circle. He held his own to James' neck.
"Victory." Sirius remarked, smirking, and he bowed to the extensive audience who applauded but then, deciding the fun was over, returned to whatever they had been doing beforehand.
It never ceased to amaze Hermione – for similar things had happened with Fred and George Weasley –that while it was easy to make a distraction, the Gryffindors would always be able to drop it on its completion and go back to business without so much as a 'what the bloody hell was going on there?' She smiled fondly and watched Sirius gather the mascara lids and hand them back to the giddy looking Fifth years, that he'd effectively commandeered them from, charming and flirting to avoid trouble.
Hermione laughed, a rich sound, and he looked up at her and winked, looking positively devilish as his dark hair fell into his brown eyes. She blushed prettily in response and averted her gaze.
**
Hermione supposed it was because she'd done it all before, but she felt very at home and had settled into Hogwarts of 1977 superbly. She spent her time with Lily and the Marauders, studiously ignoring Peter, and making pointed remarks if she absolutely had to speak to him, flirting with Sirius and teasing James. She talked intellect with Remus and was introduced to Alice Hopkins (Neville's mother, Hermione concluded when taking in the blonde's kind, round face). It had been a particularly heart-breaking moment when Frank had collected her, and they'd kissed in greeting, apologising for nicking his girlfriend away.
It was in the library with Remus that she found herself, working on a Potions essay, while slyly taking in Remus' health. The full moon was coming up, and she wanted to make sure he was alright.
"So, I heard about your furry little problem from James, but I want you to know that I know." She began, testing the waters. Remus tensed slightly before relaxing, but her keen eyes spotted it. He wasn't entirely sure if she meant what he thought she meant so he answered carefully.
"He's a blight, that one."
"I hope everything goes smoothly for you; your friends are very good in doing what they do. I've gotten you something, by the way." She slid over a bar of Honeyduke's finest chocolate, having ordered it by Owl Post earlier that week. "Oh, and, just so you know, it doesn't bother me in the slightest." She smiled, squeezed his hand, and he realised that, somehow, she'd worked it out. Because you didn't give new friends expensive bars of chocolate two days before the full moon after finding out that they owned a badly behaved rabbit.
He allowed himself to smile; Hermione was the second girl who had found out his secret and hadn't cared in the slightest. Wondering if she'd consider being an Animagus too - she was certainly intelligent enough to attempt it, and powerful –he packed his satchel and followed the route she had taken back to Gryffindor tower.
**
Sirius had pounced on the undercover were-wolf as soon as he'd entered, his Padfoot senses kicking in and picking up on his bookish friend's good mood.
"Who's the lucky lady, Moony?" He all but yelled to the room, and Remus went red as those closest turned to see his response. Nosy housemates.
"It's not like that, Sirius, and I'm certain that you know it. Cut it out." Remus hissed, willing his embarrassment to disappear, but it was barely a threat thanks to the pitiful, wounded look Sirius wore, pleading the were-wolf to part with his deepest secrets. Except that he kind of already knew that one, so he was really scavenging for information about Girls; his primary joy in life.
Remus dragged his friend across the room away from eager ears hissing, "Quiet, mutt. Yes, it's a girl, but no, it's not like that." He glanced around to see if anybody was within earshot, before muttering softly, "It's Hermione." Sirius waggled an eyebrow, but Remus spotted the millisecond of jealousy in his eyes.
"She knows about my furry little problem." Sirius' eyes widened.
"And you're happy?"
"She doesn't care. And I know she wasn't talking about the rabbit."
Sirius looked impressed, and turned to spy Hermione in the opposite corner with Lily and Alice - the group were working on homework. Brainiacs; the lot of them.
"I wonder how she figured it out. I mean, she hasn't been here that long, and there hasn't been a full moon yet." He pondered, tapping a finger against his chin. Remus fiddled uncomfortably with the hem of his robes.
"I'm slightly worried she knows the rest of it too." He murmured, more to himself than Sirius, but the other boy heard and spun around to glare at him.
"What?"
Remus grimaced. "She managed to imply that she understands you, James and Peter are all doing something very brave and wonderful for me at a certain time of the month."
"That witch is far too smart for her own good." Sirius surmised. "But we don't know for sure." He shrugged and left Remus to think as he made his way fluidly over to the ladies.
"My darlings, how are we tonight?" He asked, oozing smarminess.
Lily grunted, at which Alice giggled, as Hermione smiled up at the fit boy. "Hello, Sirius. We are doing wonderfully. Just as we were this morning, at lunch, in Potions, in the library, and at dinner." Sirius scowled, but discarded the expression quickly.
"I can't help it snookems. I just care about you so much."
Hermione snorted as daintily as she could, and raised an eyebrow.
"Pumpkin Pie?" Sirius tried.
"Muffincakes?"
"Honeybunch?"
"Cupcake?"
"Angelcakes?" His brow was furrowed, but he was rescued from thinking up anymore awful nicknames as Alice interrupted, laughter in her voice.
"What's with the cake obsession, Black?"
Hermione laughed, her eyes twinkling, eerily reminiscent of Dumbledore's. Sirius pouted.
"You like cakes, don't you, Hermione?" Shaking her head ever so slightly at his silliness, Hermione sighed, a smile on her face, and took the hand that Sirius proffered her, telling the other two that she'd be back later.
Letting him pull her out of the Common Room, Hermione relished the sensation of Sirius' hand engulfing her own, his thumb rubbing gentle circles.
Sirius directed her into an alcove relatively close to the portrait of the Fat Lady, and hugged Hermione tightly, albeit rather unexpectedly.
"Thank you for telling Remus what you told him. It means the world to the bugge. And having another someone not care about his lycanthropy-"
"Oh, I thought he had a rabbit." Hermione interrupted. She couldn't maintain the serious facade for long, bursting into laughter at the panic-stricken Sirius. "I'm kidding!"
Sirius cuffed her head gently, "that's not funny - what if you hadn't known and I'd just blabbed that out!" But he smiled back at her laughing face.
**
The full moon had come and gone, and Hermione noted the reappearance of Remus two days later, looking only vaguely exhausted. She pitied the man, the boy, really. She had tried to talk to him alone but the other Marauders were sticking to him like limpets to a rock, and while it was inconvenient, she had to admire their closeness and protectiveness towards each other.
It was becoming difficult now, however, what with Sirius acting like the excitable puppy he was (inside anyway) running through the near-empty corridor with James and invading her personal space frequently.
"Down, dog-boy." Hermione laughed, and swatted at the black haired figure. He ceased moving at her words and it took her a moment to realise what she'd said wrong; in the future, the nickname 'dog-boy' had been an affectionate one for Sirius when he was being a childish – puppy-like – pain in the neck.
Sirius' eyes filled with suspicion but Hermione pretended not to see and giggled as she continued down the hallway.
The almost stumble had Hermione thinking about the future Sirius, and the holidays when he had taught her, and the boys the basics of Animagus magic. Only Hermione had been ready at that point to push any further, and she had done so in secret, sneakily asking questions of Sirius when she needed. She suspected he had guessed what she was up to but he never brought it up and so she let it lie.
Her first full transformation had happened several weeks after his death at the Ministry, and she had been fascinated by the animal. A tawny fox had occupied the spot she had been standing in moments before, and Hermione had spent an hour or so adjusting to the strange sensation of having two sets of instincts and curiosities.
Hermione wondered whether she should talk to Remus. Tell Remus the truth about herself. She had puzzled over his future self, trying to work out if he seemed more familiar with her, but she wasn't able to come to any concrete conclusions. It was that decision that eventually encouraged her to talk to him.
Deciding to ambush the boy in Transfiguration, Hermione sat herself in the space normally occupied by Peter, but she couldn't have cared less about him in that moment and so she merely gave what she hoped was a polite smile and ignored his upset expression. He was worse than Neville, but she didn't particularly want to let him have help. Call her vindictive.
James' arrival with Sirius was rowdy, as usual, and ten minutes had been wasted when a hex was thrown, causing Jemima Tenney to begin singing like a bird, and Sirius had had to apologise profusely to Professor McGonagall – although the sincerity was doubtful as he'd winked saucily at her when he'd finished and spent the majority of the lesson referring to her as 'McG', and 'The Mighty Transfiguration Queen'. Suffice to say, the flattery was not successful. Although, it had given Hermione an opportunity to scribble notes to Remus; asking him to meet her after class. He'd nodded in response.
With lunch immediately following the class, they had easily lost the other three Marauders, and Lily was preoccupied with Alice, who was gushing about Frank. Again. It was almost sickeningly sweet.
Remus, being the casual and collected individual he was, waited for her to suspend pacing and sit on one of the desks, with only his raised eyebrow indicating his intrigue.
"You know I know about you, Remus, but you know barely anything about me."
"That's not true. We were given a rather in depth introduction and you've answered many que-"
"You don't know the truth about me." Hermione clarified, interrupting her friend and wincing as his eyes narrowed.
"Pray, tell me the truth then, Hermione." He requested, with a wariness that had been employed around her before. She didn't like it.
"Have you heard of a Time-Turner?"
Remus nodded; confusion in his expression as Hermione pulled the tiny device out from her robes.
"I was using one in 1997, when I was hit with an unknown hex that reacted badly with the magic of the bloody instrument, sending me back in time, to your present, which is now." She scowled at the golden object, not seeing Remus' expression of incredulity.
"You're from the future?" He asked, disbelievingly.
"Yes." She replied, slightly disgruntled, but happy that he hadn't outright defied her argument, as strange as it was.
"Why have you told me?" He asked. "Do you know me?"
Hermione looked innocently at him. "In a manner of speaking, Professor Lupin."
She smirked, before laughing when he blanched.
"Don't worry, Remus, it was only for a year, and we're friends in the future anyway."
"Holy Mother of Merlin." The reply came as Remus sat heavily on the closest desk. He stared at his hands for a moment before turning his penetrating gaze to Hermione. "Anything else I should know?"
Guiltily, Hermione nodded. "Erm, there are now four unregistered Animagi in Hogwarts."
"You're having me on."
"Why would I lie about that?" Hermione scoffed, and in the same breath transformed into the light brown fox with which she was so familiar. Remus slid off the table, and knelt beside her as she sniffed him and nuzzled into his gentle hand as he petted her small head.
He moved away to allow her to return to her human shape, and smiled at her when she did so, hugging her petite frame.
"It's nice to have someone else who doesn't care about my…affliction." Remus told her bushy hair.
"It doesn't define you Remus." She answered wisely. "I'm glad you believe me. I've been going insane with only the Headmaster and Minerva as my confidantes."
**
"Finally, the bookworms join us!" James crowed over the din at Gryffindor Table, his mouthful of potatoes on show to the entire hall. Lily slapped his arm gently in admonishment.
Sirius looked suspicious again. He'd been like that since a couple of days before the full moon. Hermione refrained from frowning and seated herself beside him, brushing her thigh against his accidentally.
"We need to talk." She told him pointedly, although she didn't meet his eye.
**
Somehow, despite having arrived later than the others, Hermione finished her meal before Sirius and waited patiently, until he released his utensils, before half-dragging him in silence to the Room of Requirement.
Awkwardly, when she entered, the lighting was dimmed and the whole feeling was utterly romantic. She rolled her eyes when Sirius, waggled his eyebrows.
"Why didn't you say so, darling munchkin."
"Oh, hush." Hermione sniggered. "That's not what I was going to tell you. What I was planning on telling was that, firstly, don't look so wounded every time I talk to Remus. There's nothing going on. And secondly, I'."
"What?" Hermione drew in a breath.
"I'm not from Australia. I was accidentally sent back in time from 1997. I'm an unregistered Animagus – just like you – and the only thing I've ever felt for Remus is admiration for a teacher and a friend – in both of our timelines."
Sirius was bewildered but managed to concoct a sentence.
"Prove it."
Hermione sighed and transformed, wrapping her lithe form around Sirius' ankles. She felt his large hands envelop her as he lifted her to his chest, and she nuzzled into his neck happily. Sirius scratched behind her ears, and she closed her brown eyes as his chest rumbled with speech.
"Proof accepted."
She made a happy little fox noise and licked at his throat.
"Well, you're just the sweetest thing, aren't you?" She jumped gracefully away from him, returning to human form before she hit the ground.
Smiling at the boy before her, Hermione sat back on the desk, preferring it to the seat. She was alone only for a second because, a moment later, Sirius had planted himself between her knees and was snogging her as if she was the only thing holding him to the earth. His hands moved to rest on her waist, and their tongues fought for dominance as they met in a fiery passion.
Hermione lifted her arms, snaking them around Sirius' neck and burying them in the hair at the nape of his neck. The black haired charmer relinquished her mouth, peppering kisses along her jaw.
When he pulled away, the tears that had built up in Hermione's eyes were threatening to fall.
"Hermione, what's wrong?" Concern laced Sirus' voice.
In one fluid motion, Hermione had launched herself at him, her face pressed tightly against his chest as she hugged him. The response was muffled by his robes.
"You've no bloody idea how long I've wanted to do that."
Sirius wrapped his arms around her tiny figure and kissed the crown of her head.
Naw. My brain is slightly fried…which made the end read rather peculiarly. Sorry about that – but I'm not doing another multi-chap (not yet anyhow!).
