RETROACTION
BY: PADFOOTS GIRL
"This school will be the death of me." Hermione said moving the weight of her book bag to her other shoulder. It was her seventh and final year at Hogwarts and she decided to take every class again. So now her schedule was booked, with all the homework from each class and Quidditch practice almost every night she had no time for anything frivolous.
She was Gryffindors new Chaser. How she let Harry persuade her into try-out was beyond her, he begged and pleaded for one try-out and since she hated to see a grown man whine she gave in and made the team.
Right now she was on her way to Divination from Ancient Runes. She glanced at her watch to see if she needed to use her time-turner or not. 'No, I'll make it to class on time. I think.' She thought. She glanced at her watch again to see if she saw the right time, but when her head was down she forgot the step before the small landing and lost her footing. As she fell she felt the chain holding her time-turner snapped and then she saw the turner itself fall counter clockwise off its chain that held it around her neck. As she fell closer to the bottom she realized that this would leave a mark. Finally she hit the bottom, the bottom stair that is. Her head hit the first stair and she fell unconscious
Hermione's eyes fluttered open and saw that the contents of her bag were all over the floor, containers of ink broken leaving blue, black, and scarlet stains on the floor and her books.
"Great just great," She muttered under her breath. Only then did she look over her right shoulder to find that her time-turner had broken leaving sand and glass littered on the floor.
"Here let me help you with that," Someone to her left said kindly handing her, her defense against the dark arts textbook.
"Thanks," she said taking the book and putting it back into her slightly damp bag.
"What's your name? I haven't seen you around before," The person said coming over and squatting down in front of her. She took in the boys' features; he reminded her of someone but whom, she couldn't put her finger on it. He had light brown hair and eyes as blue as the sky on a clear day.
"I'm Hermione Granger. Who are you?" She asked placing another damp book in her bag.
"Remus Lupin," He replied handing her some quills
"Why do you look so young Professor?" She questioned off handily staring into his blue eyes.
"Professor? I'm only a seventh year!" He exclaimed
"What year is it?" she asked cautiously
"Wow you must've really hit your head. It's 1973."
"Excuse me? Did you say 1973?"
"Yes, Do you need to see the nurse?"
"Can you lead me to the Headmasters office please," She said putting the last of the spilled items into her bag.
"Sure, this way," he said helping her up.
"Ahh, Mr. Lupin, and to what do I owe this pleasure? Who's mind did you mess with this time?"
"It wasn't me this time-"
"I'll believe that when I go and join the dark side," Doumbledore said cutting into Remus' sentence
"I was saying that I was walking, on my way to Divination and I was about to walk up the stair case and luckily I noticed a little lost angel on my way," He said gesturing toward Hermione. She blushed at this comment.
"Now who might you be my dear?" Professor Doumbledore questioned
"Hermione Granger, Sir," She replied timidly
"Thank you Remus, go to back to class, and I don't want to see you back here unless I call you to my office. Now scoot!"
"Leaving don't get all uppity on me!" Remus said on his way out, shutting the door softly on his way.
"I think you can help me," Hermione said turning to Doumbledore
"And how might I do that?" He questioned. Hermione went into her story, Doumbledore nodding every now and then. Finally she came to the end, saying that the last thing that happened was starting her tale.
"Well, I'm sorry to say that time-turners are quite scarce during this time. I can get one for being so well known but there is a very long waiting period. You will have to say for a while here as a student, you shall be sorted at dinner tonight."
"What do I do for clothes?" she asked.
"You have a point," he paused considering the options "Here we go," he continued getting out a piece of paper and a quill. Albus dipped the quill in his ink well and began scratching away. "I'm just writing a letter to Lily Evens bidding her to came to my office. I would ask someone from another house, but she is the most amiable of any I know. Hopefully she can help you get settled in, help you shop, since it is girl thing is it not?" "Yes, it is," She agreed.
"Then what are we waiting for?" he asked tying the letter to his owl. It puffed out his feathers importantly before he flew out the open window. Five or so minuets later there was a knock at his door.
"Come in," Professor Doumbledore called, and in walked Harry's mother, not that she knew at this moment that she had a son in the future, at this moment Hermione was jealous. Jealous of Lily's hair, she had silky, sleek, flowing red hair that fell straight down her back, and Hermione's hair was long and frizzy, but it was a lovely shade of brown, the only upside.
"Yes Professor?" Lily asked her green eyes curious about why she was called up in the middle of class.
"I would like you to meet Ms. Granger," He said gesturing toward Hermione
"Any first name? I'd feel a little awkward," She said kindly implying that she didn't want to call her 'Ms. Granger',
"Yeah, Hermione."
"That's a very pretty name, its not to common is it?"
"Not really," Hermione said smiling.
"You were called here to take Hermione shopping," Doumbledore replied smiling. Lily blinked and then opened her eyes up quite wide.
"Are you serious!" she said not believing her educator.
"Quite, you may go tonight and you can go by yourselves or you can bring friends. I am supplying you with one thousand galleons, that should be enough."
"Can we go now?" Lily asked smiling mischievously.
"Well since you have no other classes this afternoon. I suppose you may," The headmaster said his blue eyes twinkling.
"Thank you sir," Lily said jumping out of her seat, she grabbed Hermione's arm in the process and she dragged her out of the room. Hermione reached to Doumbledore and grabbed the pouch of money and a note he had attached to it for her.
"We have a new student!" Remus said in an undertone to his friends.
"Boy or Girl?" Peter asked.
"Girl!" He said happily. Sirius smiled.
"Pretty?" he asked.
"Uh-huh, her hair is kinda frizzy but it works on her."
"When do we meet her?" James asked.
"How am I supposed to know!" Remus said. "Dinner when she gets sorted, I guess."
"Hope she gets put in Gryffindor," Peter said all his friends nodded.
At dinner later that night the four marauders were craning their necks trying to find this mystery girl. Their pursuit was answered when Doumbledore clanked his spoon against his glass. The hall fell silent immediately.
"I would like to announce that Hogwarts has received a transfer student from Beauxbatons, and tonight she's being sorted," The hall burst into a tumultuous applause. During the ovation the three-legged stool was brought out.
"Granger, Hermione," Professor McGonagall called out. 'Wow,' Hermione thought, 'I can't believe I'm going through this again!' Hermione walked up to the hat and place it on her head.
"A time traveler!" The hat said happily in her ear. "Well what house are you in, in the future?" He asked. 'Gryffindor.' She thought.
"Ah, a brave lass we have here. So I'll put you in. GRYFFINDOR!" The hat shouted at last. Hermione sighed a sigh of relief. Remus and Sirius and then Sirius and Peter high-fived because of where Hermione ended up. Hermione walked up to the Gryffindor table and was greeted by Lily who gave her a hug. Hermione looked at the marauders and she felt like someone had squeezed her heart. Dead, dead, werewolf, convict, and traitor. She wanted to tell them of the future but she knew that she wasn't allowed to Doumbledore had explained that in the note.
"Hello Remus," Hermione said when she sat down.
" 'Lo Hermione," He said.
"Bonjour Mademoiselle!" Sirius said taking her hand in his and kissing it on the back.
"Bonjour," Hermione said giggling.
"Je m'appelle Sirius" Hermione giggled.
"Comment ca va?"
"Ca va tres bien." Sirius replied smiling.
"I'm James,"
"And I'm Peter," They all said introducing themselves. Hermione tried to keep her mouth shut as she looked at them.
"You look so much like Harry!" She said with out realizing what she had said.
"Who's Harry?" James asked.
"Oh, Harry? Harry is my friend from Beauxbatons," She said quickly. "But he has green eyes," Hermione mentally slapped herself. 'No more, 'she thought to herself,' any more details. I'll give myself away.'
The marauders and Lily asked many questions about Beauxbatons and she answered them as truthfully as she could. But the fact that she had been to Beauxbatons the year prior with Ron and Harry on a student exchange course helped a great deal. She talked and talked to them about all things finally came time for Hermione and Lily to go to Hogsmeade.
"Where are you going?" James asked them.
"To Hogsmeade," Hermione answered truthfully.
"We'll meet you there," Sirius said to the two girls.
"Whatever," Lily said as she kept walking.
When in Hogsmeade Lily and Hermione met up with Sirius, Remus and James. Peter couldn't make it he had to visit his sick aunt. (A/N-::cough, cough::) Hermione and Lily's first stop was Lady Laline's Dress and Robe Shop. Hermione bought plain black robes with the Gryffindor symbol on it and then came time for Hermione to pick out her dress robes. She walked into the fitting room with an armload of different colored garments. The first one she walked out in was a baby blue backless one. Everyone like it on her. Hermione wrinkled her nose and shook her head and then headed back into the changing room. The next one she walked out in was a red one with a low scooped neck Lily frowned at this one but Sirius hooted because you could see her cleavage in this dress. Remus shook his head in sync with Lily's, but James, on the other hand, was trying to throw popcorn (he made appear with a simple spell) down the dress. He got some in and when he did so Hermione scampered into the fitting room and fished them out when said popcorn was out she peered over the top of the door and threw the popcorn back at him. Hermione came out in a number of other dress robes but she just didn't find the right one. Finally she came out in a black strapless. She walked out smiling her head off and when she finally talked only these things came out:
"I love it! This is the one," She twirled around and everyone looked at the dress closely. It was black, strapless, form fitting, and it had a slit up the side to about her knee. Something in Sirius stomach tied itself into a knot and he smiled. Hermione paid for her robes and then they walked into the next store. Sirius kept sneaking glances at Hermione and pushing Remus so he could walk next to her. They walked in and out of different stores, such Honeydukes, Zonkos, and Dervish and Bangs. Finally, came the conclusion of their time there, and they ended it by going to The Three Broomsticks Inn.
Remus walked over and got the drinks while Sirius, Hermione, Lily, and James got the seats.
"So how do you like Hogwarts so far?" Sirius asked Hermione.
"So far so good. So let me guess you four are the mischief makers,"
"How'd you know?" James asked.
"Well, I kinda know the sent of them," Hermione smirked. Lily looked at her strangely.
"Are you smelling my boyfriend?" she asked jokingly.
"No, I would never do that."
"Good, she singed the eyebrows of the last girl who said that he smelled good," Sirius said laughing.
"It's because at H-Beauxbatons my friends and I were the mischief makers,"
"Is that so?" James said raising an eyebrow.
"Uh-huh, and in our second year, we broke about 50 school rules, we made a Polyjuice Potion," She replied taking a sip of her butterbeer.
"Wicked!" Remus replied.
"No, nasty!" she said laughing.
"Hey," Lily said remembering something. "The dance on Saturday! I totally forgot about that!" All the others murmured in agreement. James turned to Lily.
"M'Lady, would you care to accompany me to the dance?" he asked kissing her hand.
"I would indeed," Sirius rolled his eyes.
"Who are you going with Remus?" Hermione asked.
"I'm going with Maranda Daniels, she's a Ravenclaw."
"What about you Sirius, a babe like you has to be going with someone." Hermione giggled.
"Nah, I'm not going with anyone, would you like to go with me?" Sirius asked as he feigned a cool expression, but on the inside he wanted more than anything for her to say yes. Even though he had just met her, but he had this odd feeling that he knew her from somewhere, but where?
Well that's the end of chapter one, and in my opinion it's right in the middle of length. YAY! Please review or else I'll make you fall down the stairs.just kidding or am I?
"This school will be the death of me." Hermione said moving the weight of her book bag to her other shoulder. It was her seventh and final year at Hogwarts and she decided to take every class again.
