Hermione woke up and noticed that she was in the hospital wing. Surprisingly she felt no pain. She didn't feel as if a potion just exploded on her, blasting her into unconsciousness. There was no burning feeling, no excruciating pain, she just felt tingling. It was very peculiar. Her mind was going through tomes of books she read about potions explosions and she didn't come across one that had no effect on the brewer. It was very, very peculiar.

The door opened and in came Madam Pomfrey, or what looked like her. She was different somehow. Younger, with less gray hair and a somewhat slimmer body.

"Are you awake? Good, drink this." She shoved a corked bottle at Hermione's nose.

"Umm… What is it?" Hermione said, analyzing the bottle.

"Oh, just something to calm you down when the headmaster comes in."

"Why would I need to be calm, I'm already calm."

"Dear, you won't be calm when he tells you."

"Tells me what?"

"I'll leave that to him, Oh Albus, yes she's awake, yes, yes she's fit to see you." She said as the Headmaster came in.

Hermione thought he looked somewhat younger too. His hair less gray, and there were less wrinkles.

"You wanted to talk to me sir?"

"Yes, umm, Miss, Miss"

"Granger, Hermione Granger," She answered with a bewildered look on her face. How come he can't remember my name?

"Yes Miss Granger, the reason why you are in the hospital wing right now-"

"Is because a potion exploded on me, I know that already Sir." Her know-it-all habit kicking in there.

"No Miss Granger, a potion didn't explode on you. You materialized in thin air. You landed on that boy right over there, and knocked him unconscious. Luckily, he was the only one to notice so no one else knows about you. He is trustworthy enough to keep this secret." Hermione turned her head to where Dumbledore was pointing at and saw a very pale boy with long black hair and an abnormally large nose. She knew who that person was. He was her potions professor.

"Sir, why does Professor Snape look younger, and why is he wearing student's robes."

"Professor Snape? He is a seventh year student here. I'm afraid you confirmed my suspicions. Miss Granger, you have traveled back in time. I'm not quite sure how long in the past you've traveled. Do you think you know?"

"Well, Professor Snape was 37 when he was my teacher, so I traveled about 20 years into the past. OH MY GOSH, I TRAVELED 20 YEARS INTO THE PAST!!!! MY FRIENDS, MY FAMILY, MY NEWTS. I need to get back professor I need to get back. Please help me get back." She yelled as she grabbed the Headmaster's robes and shaking it very fiercely.

"Poppy, I thought you gave her a calming draught."

"I thought I did too, it appears to not be working on her."

"Hmm… Very interesting indeed. Miss Granger, I need you to calm down and to please let go of my robes. Thank you. From what it appears, potions do not affect you, so it is very important to tell me what potion you were working with prior to the transporting."

"Well sir, I was working with a fire protecting potion, simple enough, but one of my classmates, I believe, added in an extra ingredient. I just don't know what ingredient she added."

"From what you said Miss Granger, I think that the extra ingredient did two things, it not only transported you back through time, but it also protected you of potions of any sort. It is just a theory of mine but I tend to have very good ones. You will have to stay here until I figure out what to do. The headgirl will come in shortly to help you adjust to your new surroundings. I've already told her a story that seems plausible enough. You arrived late last night after your parents died from a surprise attack of an evil force, they will know what it means, and you seek refuge with Hogwarts. All your belongings were destroyed. Prior to this, a private tutor, who died with your parents, taught you. And your name will now be Hermione Puckle. They won't ask many questions because you'll be in grief. Is that all right Miss Granger?"

"That seems good enough I guess. At least they won't bother me."

"I also must warn you Miss Granger, if you mess up anything in this time, the future will change. I advise you to not get close to anyone you know in the future, and to not warn anyone or inform him or her about anything that happens to them in the future. Is that clear Miss Granger?"

"Crystal sir."

"Good, now Miss Evans will come in and escort you to your new rooms."

The door opened and in came Lily Evans. She looked every bit of the person she saw in Harry's photo album. She had wonderfully long scarlet hair and her eyes, so much like Harry's were, were sparkling emeralds. Hermione couldn't help the overwhelming feeling that swept over her. Her eyes started to tear up, but she blinked them away. I can't change what happens to them. Hermione thought.

"Hi, my name is Lily Evans."

"Hello, my name is Hermione Gr- erm, I mean Puckle. My name is Hermione Puckle."

"Welcome to Hogwarts Hermione Puckle."
