Without a Trace.

Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny were getting rushed towards the barrier by a very distressed Mrs Weasley. They were getting a lot of funny looks from the passers-by but then again they did look quite odd. The four of them were pushing heavily laden trolleys with owls and huge trunks labelled with a crest baring the name "Hogwarts" and Mrs Weasley looked quite demented with her hair pointing in many different directions and a wild look in her eye.

"Come on dears, hurry up!" She called to them, " Oh no, oh no, oh no! I'm going to be late!"

"Mrs Weasley, it's fine! We'll go ourselves." Hermione soothed.

The reason Mrs Weasley was so distressed was that she was very late for a special Order meeting. What this meeting was about noone quite knew but that didn't mean it wasn't very important.

" Yeah mum, we're fine." Ginny chimed in, "We're more than capable than boarding a train!"

"Well okay .. If you're sure" ,Mrs Weasley quickly gave them all a hug and jogged off in the direction of the exit.

Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny watched her disappear and then turned towards the barrier that would lead them through to the Hogwarts Express and then to Hogwarts itself.

"I guess we better go then." ,Ron mumbled.

"Oh really, Ronald? I wonder where you got that idea." Ginny said sarcastically.

Ron looked indignant and retorted something, they then launched into a bitter argument.

"Oh honestly, would you two stop bickering!" Hermione snapped, "We're going to be late if we don't go now!"

Ron looked around, "Where's Harry?" They all followed Ron's gaze.

"He must of already gone" ,and with that Ginny ran full speed into the barrier and disappeared.

Hermione and Ron shortly followed. When they emerged onto Platform 9 3/4 they looked round for Harry. Ron spotted him and the all headed off to meet him. Harry was standing alone and looking around worriedly.

"What's wrong Harry?" Ginny asked putting a hand on his arm.

Harry and Ginny had started going out at the end of last year and had been inseparable ever since. Now Ginny was starting her N.E.W.T's this year, Harry had been worried they wouldn't be able to spend as much time together so had stayed at the Weasley's all summer so they could be together.

"Guy's have you noticed that these people all look really unfamiliar..?" Harry said

nervously.

"What?" Ron looked blank then he realised Harry was right.

He hadn't seen Malfoy or Dean or Lavender or anyone. They all put they're heads together and started whispering what was going on. Hermione and Ron thought they were here somewhere they just hadn't seen them yet. Ginny was being crazy and saying they had gone back in time in a funny voice which made Harry snort with laughter when someone coughed loudly and they all turned to see an exact replica of Harry expect without the green eyes. They all gasped and Hermione looked slighty queasy.

"Umm well I was wondering …. Who the hell are you?" He laughed

Hermione managed to tell Harry's father that they were Hermione, Harry, Ron and Ginny.

"…So where are you from?"

"umm we're transfers." Ginny answered quickly

.

"we've never had transfers before…ohwell I'm James" He winked at Ginny and grinned.

Ginny quickly reached down and held Harry's hand and Harry gave James a dark look

Hermione held her hand out to shake James hand but instead it was grabbed my a dark stranger who bent down and kissed it. When he stood up Hermione gasped, infront of her was a younger version of Sirius Black.

James laughed, " This is Sirius Black…"

"but you can call me Padfoot" ,he grinned at Hermione who gulped nervously.

"I'd watchout if I were you, he's quite the ladies man." James chuckled.

The train whistled and they all grabbed they're trunks and heaved them onto the train. James offered to share an apartment with them so they all set off to find an empty apartment. James stopped at an occupied one though and ushered them in. This time they were expecting it so it didn't come as a surprise when the two people in the compartment where Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. They all looked at the latter with hate in they're eyes. He stared back at them terrified. Sirius introduced them all and then sat down next to James . They all took they're seats. Hermione thought she would be safest next to Remus. He looked up from his book at her.

She smiled and asked what he was reading.

"The Moon's Cycle : The Autobiography of a Werewolf." ,he replied

"Oooo, I've read that, so what do you think about werewolf rights?" She asked excitedly.

She had always felt too embarrassed to discuss werewolves with Remus in her time. They started discussing Werewolf laws with vigor. The rest of the journey passed reasonably quickly and before they knew it they were looking up at the walls of Hogwarts. Harry, Hermione, Ron and Ginny excused themselves saying they need to speak to the Headmaster, "conveniently" forgetting his name.

They headed up to Dumbledore's office to explain their situation. As they entered the office Dumbledore looked round at them quizzically .

"May I enquire to who you four young people are?"

Hermione introduced them for the 100th time that day.

"And you are here because?" He enquired.

"Well umm… you see it's kinda hard to explain sir but we're … we're from the future" Ginny blurted out.

"May I also enquire to when you're from?" Dumbledore asked his eyes twinkling.

"So you believe us?" Harry asked

"Why of course. You're story is so unbelievable It must be the truth." Dumbledore chuckled.

"Well we're from 1997" Ron volunteered.

"Your house?"

"Gryffindor"

"Well you may stay in that house until we find a way to get you home" Dumbledore smiled sadly, "Now let us go to the feast and sort the first years."

They all set off down to the Great Hall thinking this was going to be a long year.
