A Time Prank

Summary: Everyday, the oddest things can happen at the magical world and this day was no exception. What happens when the Hogwarts Express decide to take a certain bushy haired witch to the marauder era? Chaos obviously. [AU


Another summer day has come and gone away and everything she wants it's to go home. She wanted to go back to Hogwarts, where she truly felt like she was home. Where she could be in contact with all the magic she wanted.

She also wanted to see their smiles on their faces again, to hear Ron complaining on how much homework he has and listen to Harry whining about Malfoy and how the ferret is up to something.

"Hermione, dear?"

Hermione looked away from the window towards her mother. Her mother looked sad and ill as she always did when it was time for her little daughter to go back to the magical world.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Yes." Hermione answered. She was beaming at the fact they were leaving. "I just need to get Crookshanks."

As Hermione finally arrived at King's Cross the first thing she did was to smile at the stunning crimson engine. She looked back to her parents who stared at her daughter with sadness in their eyes.

"Don't forget to write and stay out of trouble-"

"Father, please." Hermione replied rolling her eyes. It's not like she spends her life causing havoc at Hogwarts. She giggled silently to herself, if only her parents knew what have happened at Hogwarts, they would probably need medical assistance.

After some minutes they finally let her go. She took a deep breathe in relief, her heart started to beat faster as she stepped inside the Hogwarts express. She smiled as she saw the many familiar faces; Neville Longbottom chatting cheerfully with Luna Lovegood, Dean Thomas and Seamus Finnigan surrounded by some girls...

Quickly she started to move, peeking through the compartments in order to find Harry and Ron. Almost at the end she decided to give up since they were nowhere to be seen; besides they would probably look for her anyway. She opened a random compartment door and closed it behind her.

The first thing she noticed was how this compartment seemed to be slight different from the others. It seemed to be extraordinary bigger. The windows were also bigger; however what caught her attention the most was the fact that there was a seat by the window with her name.

Hermione raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Harry? Ron?" She asked. "This is not funny. You can take the invisibility cloak off now." Hermione ordered placing a hand on her hips.

However no one answered. Hermione looked over her name, neatly written on the cushioned seat.

"Well, this is odd." She told herself. Hermione placed her things and set Crookshanks free, which looked at her through the glass like eyes. "Maybe this year, they assigned seats to everyone?"

Suddenly the train started to move, Hermione lost her balance and fell on her seat. "Ow!"

The large ginger cat started to get agitated. Crookshanks jumped to Hermione's lap and looked at the young witch.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked Crookshanks while she patted the cat's back.

Miaoww

Then out of the blue the compartment door opened and a messy dark haired boy with glasses looked over Hermione.

Hermione stood up and smiled. "Harry!"

The boy looked a bit taken back; he eyed the girl in front of him with interest. Her clothes were somewhat weird and she probably mixed him with somebody else.

The bushy haired witch didn't notice the curious and confused look the haired dark boy gave her; instead she threw herself to his arms and kissed his cheek. "I missed you! Where's Ron?"

"Oy Prongs!"

Hermione immediately retreated. Her chocolate brown eyes analyzed the other three boys that had just arrived.

"Finally decided to move on from Evans?" A handsome boy with dark hair that hung elegantly over his face asked placing a hand on the boy Hermione had just hugged.

"I-" Hermione started nervously.

"Sirius Black, its okay... I don't bite, love." He told her raising an eyebrow as he noticed how tense she was.

"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy." Hermione stared as her eyes fell on the four boys.

"Great Sirius, you just took another girl to insanity." The sandy brown haired boy said as he smiled at Hermione.

"Out!" Hermione says, pointing her finger out of the compartment.

The four boys look quizzically at her. The dark haired boy that she had hugged looked at her half amused, half staggered.

"What?" Sirius Black asked confused. "There are no more empty compartments-"

"OUT I SAID!" She yelled and the four boys jumped back at her outburst. As they left the compartment, Hermione quickly ran to the door and closed.

Hermione leaned her back into the door; she fell slowly on the floor, her hands covering her face.

"Think, Hermione, think." She whispered, her mind working hard trying to process what had just happened.

After what seemed an eternity to Hermione but in reality it had been only a few hours the Hogwarts express finally stopped. Hermione waited quietly until everyone was gone; she had decided to stay at the train.

She figured out that it had something to do with the train, because she hadn't done anything besides sitting on the assigned seat...

Hermione head jerked towards the seat, her eyes widened in shock as she realised that her name wasn't there anymore. She quickly stood up and started to pace back and forth with Crookshanks following her moves.

After some long minutes, Hermione gave up. She sat down and held Crookshanks in her arms.

"What now?" She asked the cat that simply ignored her.

The compartment door opened again and Hermione jumped off her seat startled.

"Well, well what do ye have here?"

Hermione recognized him at once. It was Argus Filch, probably the second person she disliked the most at Hogwarts, right after professor Snape. He looked slightest younger, his hair was also slightest shorter and his teeth were not yet all yellowish.

"I need to see the Headmaster at once." Hermione told him.

He looked over her and at the cat. He licked his lower lip and stared at figure with interest. Hermione felt disgusted but covered it from him.

"Ye will see the headmaster all right." Filch smiled sadistically. "Now move! I don't want to miss dinnerr!"

Argus Filch dragged her across the wide corridors, Hermione tried to set herself free but the skinny disgusting man had a strong grip. He opened the great halls doors with such ferocity that everyone stopped talking to look at them.

Finally Hermione managed to get her arm away from him and looked around. She recognized no one. Her eyes looked across the Gryffindor table only being able to identify the same four boys she had seen at the train. They were looking at her and she heard the chubby brown haired boy ask if it wasn't that crazy girl from the train. Her heart compressed.

She saw a tall figure standing up over the staff table, her heart jumping at the sight of a familiar face. Without thinking she made a run towards the staff table with Crookshanks following behind her.

"Professor Dumbledore!" Hermione said as she tried to compose herself. "I need to talk to you, immediately."

The old man bright blue eyes stared at the small girl a head of him with interest.

"Yes, I'm certain of that." He told her softly and smiled at her. He gestured her to follow him and both disappeared away from the curious stares of the entire Great Hall.
