Back To The Past:A Remus-Hermione Story

Disclaimer: Face it, if I was JK Rowling I wouldn't be here moaning about going back to school tomorrow and writing on FanFiction would I? Oh and its a Remus Hermione Time-Travel. Don't like don't read simple as.

No. So I don't own *sigh and sad face*

Here she was. In the year 1977. She had travelled back simply because Ron was stupid enough to not listen to her or Harry. So he went and did that spell. In Latin. With his wand pointed at her no less. And the worst part was that she couldn't remember what he had said.

Hermione was roused from her inner monologue when someone coughed. Then she realised there was a girl standing in front of her with a boy. The girl had flowing red hair ''Like Ginny'' Hermione mused to herself and piercing green eyes. Hermione took a sharp intake of breath when she say the eyes on this girl. This was Harry's mother, Lily Evans. She looked over to the boy next to her. He had sky blue eyes with hints of amber in them and sandy blonde hair. ''This must be a young Remus Lupin'' she thought to herself. Then Lily spoke ''Are you alright? I haven't seen you around before, yet you're wearing a Gryffindor tie.''

''Yes I'm fine thank you'' Hermione replied, noticing her voice was slightly shaky. Lily looked at Remus the Hermione sceptically with a raised eyebrow. ''Honestly, I am! But do you think you can take me to see your headmaster?'' For the first time since they had met each other, Remus spoke. ''We will, but tell us your name first''

''I'm Hermione Granger, you?''

''Remus Lupin''

''Lily Evans''

'' Now will you take me?''

''Sure'' Remus held out his hand to help Hermione up, at which point she realised she was sitting on the floor. She took it but when he let her go she wobbled and nearly fell. If Lily, whose reflexes were sharp, hadn't grabbed her arm she would have. ''Are you sure your okay?'' she asked Hermione nodded fiercely. Still holding on to her arm, Lily began to lead Hermione to where Dumbledore's office was, Remus following behind.

''Sugar mice''

Lily knocked on the door and Hermione heard Dumbledore's voice saying ''Come in''

''Hello Miss Evans, Mr Lupin. And who do we have here?'' he said acknowledging Lily and Remus then moving his attention to Hermione.

''Hermione Granger''

''And where are you from?''

''I'd much rather talk about it in private with you sir, if you don't mind''

''Of course. Lily, Remus I'm sure you have other places to be getting?''

Lily nodded, removed her arm from Hermione's and walked out the door. Remus made to follow but looked back hesitantly. Hermione smiled faintly and Remus exited the room. ''Well Miss Granger I think you better start explaining what happened because you are most certainly one of our current students.''

So Hermione went into detail about how she was from the future and what Ron had done. After she had finished she said '' is there any way I can get back?'' Dumbledore's face, which up until now had been neutral, turned grave and said '' I'm afraid not. You are stuck here now'' Hermione felt tears in her eyes but she blinked them away quickly. '' but I'll change the future! And I wont get to see all my friends again!'' she cried Dumbledore gave her a sympathetic look. ''The future will be changed but we can't stop that. And I'm quite sure you wont forget your old ones but you will most definitely make some new ones at Hogwarts. Now we have to make a story up for you so questions aren't asked'' oh how she admired Dumbledore for his cleverness. ''We shall say you used to go to a small school in America called Montroths but your parents were killed so you moved here to finish your last year here at Hogwarts. You shall stay in Gryffindor and will keep your name for obvious reasons. I will ask Professor McGonagall to give you a timetable in the morning. And miss granger don't tell anyone that you are from the future or anything of what we have discussed in this room unless you really do trust them.'' Hermione nodded memorizing all of what was said before standing up and moving towards the door. ''And the Gryffindor password is ''Hogwarts est optimum''. Our head boy and girl, James Potter and Lily Evans made it up.'' ''Thank you sir, you truly are amazing'' then she walked out the door. Dumbledore watched her go ''She will do well here'' he said to himself quietly.

Hermione walked to the Fat Lady. The painting said to her ''Your new here''

''Yeah I came from a small school in America'' she gave the Fat Lady the password and was granted access from a very shell-shocked Fat Lady. No one had ever answered her or spoken to her before unless to give the password.

As Hermione stepped through the portrait she looked around the common room. Everything was the same as she remembered it. Lily saw here come in and walked over quickly to her. Before Hermione could say anything, Lily dragged her off to meet some people she was sitting with. As they got closer to them Hermione could see it was the Marauders. ''Im sorry for pulling you along but I REALLY can't deal with Potter and Black alone. All my other friends left last year!'' They had reached them now. ''Guys this is Hermione who I told you about I said I wasn't lying!'' She pointed to all the Marauders naming as she went along. All of them smiled at her apart from Sirius who waved and winked at her. Hermione's eyes narrowed.

Lily didn't see this and sat Hermione down next to her, Hermione prepared herself for the questions and sure enough they came after a few minutes of silence, during which Hermione guessed was them thinking up questions.

''What's your name''

''Hermione Granger''

'' Where are you from?''

''America''

''Where abouts?''

'' A school called Montroths''

''You don't sound American''

''I spent most of my early years in England.''

''What house are you in?''

''Ow!''

''Stupid question prongs''

''No need to hit me that hard though pad foot'' James grumbled. Lily and Hermione started giggling. Then full out laughing and soon it was infectious.

As soon as they had calmed down Lily said '' I'm going to bed. Do you want me to show you where the dorms are Hermione?''

''Yes please.'' Hermione said '' Although I don't have anything to sleep in'' Sirius sauntered ( there was no other way to describe how he moved) over to her, put his arm around her shoulders and said '' You can come and borrow one of my shirts love''

Lily looked disgusted while Peter, James and Remus waited to see what happened next. They weren't expecting what Hermione said. '' Sure I'll come but not to borrow a shirt but to hex your arm off of me and hex whatever else is necessary '' The three marauders nearly collapsed with silent laughter while James managed to choke out ''Do you want some water for that burn Sirius?'' then carried on laughing. Lily was smirking and so was Hermione who pushed off Sirius's arm and walked off towards Lily who said ''You can have some of my pyjamas until you get your own. We can change the size if we need to.'' and with that they headed up the stairs taking one look at the Marauders and Sirius who was watching Hermione.

When they disappeared the three marauders stopped laughing and looked over at Sirius who simply said '' we're going to have a lot of fun with her'' before walking off to his own dorm leaving behind 3 very speechless friends. Up in the girls dorms Lily had given Hermione a tank top and some shorts. She put on the same thing and said '' Its only us in here. Like I said all my other friends left last year. And by the way what you said to Sirius was amazing! He didn't say anything!'' Hermione just smiled and said '' bet you wouldn't mind doing that to James would you sometimes?'' Lily looked at her and shook her head ''Goodnight Lily''

''goodnight 'Mione''

'''Mione?''

''It's a lot easier to say than Hermione''

''Okay then''

A few hours later Remus was awoken by someone screaming. ''Damn my werewolf senses'' he thought. He looked over to his friends who were all still asleep. He sighed. Then he heard it again. The scream. It was horrible and bloodcurdling. He chucked a pillow at Sirius and James who were both very grumpy at being woken that early ''what's the matter?'' they said groggily. ''there's someone screaming in the girls dorms. And there's only Hermione and Lily in there''

''Moony, no ones screaming go back to sleep.''

Then they all heard it, part from Peter who Remus hadn't woke up as he wouldn't be very helpful in this situation. Another scream. They all ran to the dorms across from theirs regardless of the enchantments. When they got through they found Lily trying to calm down Hermione who was shaking violently. Lily was hugging Hermione and stroking her hair while whispering calming words to her. She looked and saw the marauders minus Peter standing there. She nodded at them to come over. They did so cautiously. James was the first one to make any movement, he sat on the other side of Hermione and began doing the same as Lily. The other two looked at each other in amazement.

''Lily! What happened?'' Remus asked. Lily spoke her voice no more than a whisper. ''She began tossing and turning but I thought nothing of it. Then she started whimpering then full out screaming. She kept on saying the same thing ''Harry, Ron watch out! No! ,and things like that''

Then James spoke, his voice dangerously low. ''Lily look at her arm'' they all looked and gasped at what they saw. The word ''mudblood'' was carved into her arm. Then a small voice spoke '' I suppose You want to know where I got that.'' none of them had realised Hermione had woken, with puffy red eyes and tear tracks down her face. ''Like hell we do!'' Remus voice was cold. He didn't know her very well but he was outraged at who would do that to her.

Hermione said'' What I am about to tell you must not be repeated to anyone, not even Peter must know am I clear?'' they all silently nodded their agreement. Hermione took a deep breath and started her story. '' I am not from America. I am from Hogwarts in the future. 20 years to be exact. My best friends were-are- Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. Ron cast a spell that sent me here. A few months before we had been on a hunt for horcruxes and we had to skip out last year to find them. but we got captured along the way that's when my arm happened. I was tortured while Ron and Harry were in the cellar listening to me scream and trying to get a way out. We escaped eventually and found a few more horcruxes. But Voldemort was gaining strength and there was a battle. A war. A fierce one at that and it killed many people who I was close with. The whole wizarding world was devastated by it. It took ages to get over it before people could start rebuilding lives homes and everything.''

''Wait you said Harry potter, as in my son?''

''Yes James your son''

''Who was his mother?''

Hermione was hesitant to say but she did anyway.

''Lily Evans''

There was a loud gasp from Lily while James just looked dumbstruck.

''What happened to us? Why weren't we there fighting in the battle? You never mentioned us.'' Sirius spoke for the first time that night. Hermione began sniffling again, causing Lily and James to stroke her hair again but she continued nonetheless.

''James and lily died protecting Harry from voldemort. They were killed by him himself after being betrayed. Sirius was convicted of 12 peoples murders even though he was innocent. He escaped Azkaban in our 3rd year. Two years later he was killed by Bellatrix Lestrange. Remus was killed un the battle of Hogwarts. He and his wide dies leaving a baby son behind who was only a few months old''

''how does Wormtail fit in here?''

Hermione's eyes became angry.

''he betrayed the potters to voldemort, killed 12 muggles and framed Sirius. Then ran away into hiding for 12 years then helped Voldemort come back to life which started the entire bloody second war!''

The others looked at her gob smacked. Then the boys all started to get up. ''Where are you going?'' Lily said sharply. ''In case you haven't noticed, 'Mione is asleep. We don't need to be here now she's peaceful.'' James replied. ''You can stay here tonight, there's four beds as long as you are out before anyone realises your in here. I want you to stay anyway.'' They all smiled faintly at her then moved to the beds. Lily left Hermione and went to her own.

James, whose bed was next to Lily's, cast a Muffliato spell around there beds and said ''So we get together then huh?''

''Yeah I guess we do.''

''Harry?''

''I've always wanted a son called Harry, James''

''Hey Ev-Lily?

''Yeah?''

''Want to go out sometime?''

''You know what? I think so.''

''Really? Honestly? No joke? No harsh rejection?''

''No joke, James. Now go to sleep. Talk in the morning'' said Lily laughing.

James took the charm down and grinned to himself before falling asleep.
