A/N: Again, thanks to everyone for the wonderful reviews! I'm sorry if the story is moving a little slow for you guys, I seem to like going into detail. Well, I hope you like the next chapter! And remember - the more you review, the more I'll want to update

Wow… When I thought I had to set things right, I knew I would go back in time, but I didn't think I would go this far back. Oh well, I have to worry about not screwing up the time line too much, or I might not be even born. I could disappear on the spot! This is very scary to think about… But I have so many new opportunities now! I could save Harry's parents! And all of the innocent people Voldemort killed…is going to kill… Well, I'll just have to start thinking about how I'm going to do this. Wow… I am going to meet Harry's parents… I wonder if James looks just like –

Just then, the door burst open and two boys were trying to squeeze through one little door at the same time.

"Me… first…James…" Sirius struggled to get through the doorway. Hermione gasped.

Sirius… he's alive, and cheerful. They were right – he was very handsome back in time.

"There is no way you're getting through this door first, Mr. I-am-high-on-sugar!" Fought James. Hermione's eyes traveled to the boy with messy hair and glasses. He could have passed off as Harry's twin. Everything about him was exactly like Harry.

No… not everything. His eyes are hazel, and full of life. Harry's eyes are green and are always concentrated, and carry an unbelievable load of pain that he had to go through over the years. This is Harry's father.

Hermione giggled as the crazy boys popped through the doorway and fell to the ground. Hermione sat up on the edge of her bed, watching their every silly move. Sirius stood up, brushing off the dust from his robes. Then his eyes traveled up to hers and he took a look at her up and down, as if examining her. Hermione felt quite uncomfortable, and blushed a little bit. James stood up swiftly, and gave Sirius a glare. Then he turned to Hermione and gave her a cheerful smile.

"You'll have to excuse Sirius here, he thinks he can just pick out girls as if he's at a grocery store." He laughed. For that, he earned a well deserved punch on the shoulder. James didn't even flinch, as if nothing happened which made Sirius pout. Then he stretched his hand to her."I'm James Potter, by the way. Sorry for being rude and not knocking on the door." Hermione took his hand and shook it with awe.

"It's nice to meet you, James. Don't worry, I am used to people barging in without permission, believe it or not." Hermione said, thinking of Ron and Harry. That brought a small frown to her face, thinking if she would ever see them again. "I'm Hermione Granger, its interesting to meet you all in this room... Who are you guys?" Of course she knew who Sirius was, but she felt it wasn't the best time to start explaining that she is from the future to save their lives.

Sirius stepped up to her and grabbed her hand, and brought it to his lips, much more confidently than Remus. "I'm Sirius… Sirius Black. It's a great pleasure meeting a wonderful girl like you, Hermione."

Hermione almost burst out in laughter. This was Harry's godfather speaking. He truly was a charmer, but she isn't going to fall for this trick. She isn't like most girls.

"Well, Sirius Black, that's very nice of you to say. Now, may I ask, how did you know I was here?"She smiled at both of the boys.

"Well, we saw you with our buddy Remus, and we just had to investigate!" Answered Sirius excitedly, "Speaking of Remus… what do you think of him?"

Hermione cocked an eyebrow.

What do I think of him? He is the best Defense against the Dark Arts teacher in the world, he is gorgeous in this time, and he has interest in books which I respect deeply. I think he is way too paranoid about the whole werewolf thing, it's not like he can control it. He saved so many lives.I think he is amazing. He's pretty much my hero.

"Well, I've just met him. He seems very nice. He is out getting Dumbledore, because I need a word with him." Answered Hermione awkwardly.

"Oh, well he told us you passed out when he introduced himself. Why did you pass out?" James asked with interest.

Why? I appeared in a whole different time, twenty years back. I saw my favorite professor when he was my own age, and he was drop dead gorgeous. That was a lot to take in, so I guess I passed out. Well, they've got me there, what can I say?

The door to the Room of Requirement opened once again. This time there was no fighting about who would go first. Dumbledore kindly nodded to Remus, giving him permission to lead the way. Remus's eyes met Hermione's once again and he smiled at her. Her heart skipped a beat. She turned her gaze back to James.

"Well, I'm going to have to explain that to you later. First things first, I need a word with Professor Dumbledore." Hermione couldn't believe that she was going to see Dumbledore alive again. The thought alone made her so happy, but here he was, standing in front of her, with the usual twinkle in his eye.

Hermione noticed none of the boys were thinking about leaving. They just stood there dumbfounded, which made Hermione want to laugh. Here she was, back in time, three marauders were standing there, wanting to find out who she was, and Professor stood there patiently.

"May I have a word with the headmaster alone?" She said in a hopeful half whisper.

"It's alright Hermione, if you're here to make changes that include the boys, then maybe they should hear about this. Plus, I don't think that you'll be able to gain their trust by lying." – Dumbledore winked at her. She seemed apprehensive about this, but nodded. How could he know about this? She hasn't even said a word to him yet, and here he was, knowing perfectly well what was going on. She looked into Dumbledore's eyes and he mouthed "Legilimency" to her. She made an "o" shape with her mouth.

"Well boys, I guess you need to know a little detail about where I am from." Sighed Hermione.

Oh boy, here goes nothing. They'll think I've gone nutters and want me to go to St. Mungo's. Well, I guess if Dumbledore thinks it's alright, I might as well tell them. It concerns them most of all anyways.

Remus was deep in thought. What could she be hiding? I knew that she is not from around here, but how does she know about the Room of Requirement, and she feels so comfortable around Dumbledore, as if she's known him for years. Why do I feel so comfortable talking to her? I'd usually avoid talking to such a beautiful girl because I'd be too afraid to make a fool of myself. She seems to be so mysterious. Who is she?

She took a deep breath."Ok, I know this may sound really weird, and you don't have to believe me, but I am from the future. I traveled twenty years back because these are really dark times, and we were losing the war to Voldemort. Too many of my close friends died. She had to stop herself from looking at Dumbledore and Sirius. I came back to stop all of the bad things from happening." – said Hermione, and then exhaled all the extra air. All of the boys stared at her in awe and disbelief. Dumbledore waited patiently for the boys reactions.

"Any grave enemy of Voldemort is a friend of ours!" Said Sirius, breaking the silence, after what seemed like eternity.

"And we can see you're a brave girl, using Voldemorts' name. Only Remus, Sirius and I dare speak it in this school. Everyone else seems to fear it." James added.

"Trust me, after facing Voldemort so many times, I don't think I would be scared to say his name." Hermione told him, and her face expression became truly heartrending. The boys were in shock. Dumbledore just looked at her with pity.

"You faced him numerous times? That must have been horrible. If you're here to fight him, you're not going to do it alone. We'll be at your side, won't we guys?" Remus said, feeling uneasy.

"Of coarse I won't face him alone. I just have information from the future, it could help us defeat him. I know Voldemort's secrets, his worst fears, and I know where he'd strike first. I know all of the people that would become Death Eaters. I think if I don't make any mistakes, I just might succeed." She said determinedly," Of coarse, much help would be appreciated." She added, smiling at Remus.

"Yeah, we'll help you Hermione!" Said Sirius and James nodded in agreement. Hermione's heart lifted. She had marauders on her side.

Dumbledore stepped in - "However, you have to promise not to repeat to anyone, not even Peter, about Hermione's real origin. She is a transfer student from an American wizarding school in Salem. Is that understood?" The boys nodded. "Dearest Hermione, you will have to attend all of the same classes with your new friends to keep this disguise. You are free to teach them during your free time, but make sure you take breaks and have a good time as well. I can see you've been under a load of stress. Visit me at my office and give me most of the information about the attacks. I will get the Order to work. Now, I will send you to go shopping for new clothes at Hogsmeade with the boys tomorrow. You are to tell all your fellow students that you've already been sorted when you came to my office, since your train here broke down and you missed the ceremony." Dumbledore beamed at her. "Today is Saturday, September 10th, 1985. I'm sorry this is so much to take in. Oh and you can borrow money from my own vault. You're my niece." He winked in her direction.

"Yes sir, thank you so much sir." Said Hermione with astonishment and excitement. She was going to have fun in this time.

"But I'm afraid to say that the Head Girl badge has to go. Lily would be quite upset if she saw you wearing it." He said to her. Hermione removed the badge and handed it to Dumbledore.

"I think this is it. Now why won't you show Hermione around boys, she is a new student after all." He grinned, with a final wink at them, and disappeared out the door.

This is going to be a year to remember.
