Chapter 2

Hermione Granger had been best friends with Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. She had also grown close to Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, and Luna Lovegood as well. It was during their fifth year and during their battle at the ministry that it had happened. Hermione had been battling one of the death eaters and had been blast back into some time turners. Normally, with one time turner you could only go back so far, but there was over fifty time turners and when she was blast back into them the covered her in their dust. Next thing she knew she was back in the Maurders era at Hogwarts. She had explained to Dumbledore what had happened and he helped her change her name. She was quite fond of her first name, so the only thing changed was her last name. She continued with being a muggleborn witch and after finding out that she could never go to her original time. She decided to enjoy being fifteen and continue with her fifth year. She was sorted into Gryffindor House and had quickly become best of friends with fellow muggleborn Lily Evans and pureblood Alice. The Maurders had quickly adopted her into their group since she was friends with Lily.

Now, Hermione was a bright nineteen year old witch and was two years into her training as a healer. She was currently had the day off. She was in a comfy pair of pjs and was reading this decade's edition of Hogwarts A History when she heard a tapping on her window. She got up from her comfy chair and opened the window letting a familiar owl known as Hermes the Potter Family owl into her flat.

She smiled as she greeted the black owl and gave him a treat before getting the letter from his talons. She scratched his chest feathers as she knew he liked it while she read the letter. After reading the letter she grabbed some parchment and replied that she would meet them. She sent the letter on with Hermes and went to get dressed. She wondered why Lily had been so adment on alking to her as soon as possible. She quickly got dressed in a nice blouse and skirt before apperating out of her house and to their meeting spot.

She didn't have to wait long, for as soon as she had ordered a drink she spot that familiar shade of red hair along with a head of messy black hair. She had a brief thought of her friend Harry, but mentally shook the thought away. Lily and James soon arrived at the table. Hermione embraced Lily and then chuckled as James kissed her forehead.

After sitting back down and their drinks arrived Hermione asked if everything was alright. Lily and James shared a look between the two of them as if seeing who wuld tell her the reason for their impromptu meeting. Lily sighed and broke eye contact first. She turned to Hermione and said, " Hermione, you know that the Potters are the last descendants of the Gryffindor line right?" Hermione nodded, but quietly wondered why this was important. Lily then turned to James who sighed before continuing where his wife had let off. " Well, it seems that since none of my Potter ancestors have taken up the gaunlet it is up to me to have not only a heir for the Ancient and Most Noble House of Potter, but also for the Ancient and Noble House of Gryffindor as well. However, in order to do that..." Hermione finished his statement, "You have to marry another witch to bear that line." James was surprised for a split second the smiled and shook his head. ," You and Lily were both known as the brightest witches of our age." Lily beemed at her husband, but James added," The reason we wanted to meet with you on such short notice is that Tiger lily here said that she would only be comfortable with sharing me with one witch." Hermione stayed quiet as she knew who that witch was before Lily even said it. Lily held out her hand for Hermione and said, " Hermione, that witch is you."

Hermione stayed quiet for what seemed like ages to both Lily and James. Hermione was thinking over the pros and cons about it. However, an image of Harry popped into her mind in that moment. She then realized that if she married James and became his second wife that they would have a higher chance of surviving that night in the future. Furhermore, Harry would have his parents. That is what he always said he wanted was to have grown up loved by his parents. She inwardly sighed, but didn't make a sound. She then looked up from the table and looked both James and Lily in the eyes as she said, " I'll do it. I'll be James's second wife and Lady Gryffindor." Lily spoke first," You sure Hermione?..I mean you would be tied to him..us for the rest of your life." Hermione looked at Lily and her face grew a soft smile, "I could never leave you hanging Lils and besides you seem to have finally tamed the famous James Potter." Lily soon sprouted a slant smile/smirk before both her and Hermione broke out into giggles.

After about 10 minutes Hermione asked James, " So, how long do we have before we have to get married?" James sighed, but said," Our account manager at Gringotts said we had six months." Hermione sighed, but replied, " Well we better get me a betrothal ring and soon." James chuckled and then replied, "As you wish my lady." Lily and Hermione smiled, but rolled their eyes.

The trio was soo. on their way back to Gringotts.
