Changes Chap 4Jane sighs and sips on her butterbeer. So far everything was working perfectly. She created a new identity, got rid of the Dementors, and got the DADA position.
Now all that was left was Sirius. And he would be the hardest to deal with. Getting in to Grimmauld Place wasn't a problem. The invitation given to her by Dumbledore in her past should still work.
But she somehow doubted that if she rang the doorbell and politely asked to see Sirius they would welcome her with open arms. The witch placed her butterbeer on the table in front of her and leaned back, lacing her fingers together and chewing on the end of her thumbs.
She couldn't apparate because of the wards but perhaps she could teleport. Teleportation shared the same basis with apparation but it was by far a lesser-known way of travel. Teleportation was very hard to master and the magic used was a form of Wiccan.
Jane nods to herself. That should work, as far as she knew there were no shields against teleportation seen as how most people didn't know of it's existence.
She would have to teleport into a room in the house that was familiar with her. Which raised another problem, this summer Molly was going on a cleaning spree and she couldn't remember what rooms were being cleaned when.
And she also had to worry about the insane house elf. Jane sighs and drops her hands to the side of her mug. Of course! Buckbeak! He would help her! She could teleport to his room reintroduce herself, although Buckbeak should be able to recognize her still, and wait for Sirius. She remembered whenever he would disappear he could always be found in Buckbeak's room.
Jane hurriedly gulps down her butterbeer and stands to leave exiting the old bar she begins to mutter to herself in a singsong voice. "Off we go to save the world, yo ho yo ho yo ho."
--------------------
Jane bows in greeting to Buckbeak and smiles when he bows back. She quietly pets his beak. "You remember me don't you?"
Buckbeak nods and nips her arm looking for food.
"Sorry Buckbeak, no ferrets this time. Now I need your help. I'm going to have to get Sirius' help but we both know how hard headed he is don't we?" Jane smirks when Buckbeak nods. "Seeing as how he won't recognize me I may have to do something drastic."
Once again he nods showing his understanding. Jane pulls away from the large creature and hides behind the door. "Oh and do me and everyone else a favor will you. Get rid of that annoying elf."
Jane pressed herself against the wall and waited. She couldn't use magic to knock him unconscious, not with the possibility someone may trace the spell back so she'd just have to knock him out the old fashioned way.
She didn't have long to wait before Sirius entered the room. Before he was able to figure out he wasn't alone Jane had hit the back of his neck causing him to fall unconscious.
Hefting the body she tossed a winning smile at Buckbeak. "See you soon."
And on that note she teleported to the only other safe place she could think of, The Shrieking Shack.
Dropping his body onto the dusty bed she bound him with a flick of her wand. After a moment of watching him she also hit him with the silencing spell before quickly waking him up.
The second Sirius wakes up he jerks away from her. "Stop that you'll hurt yourself." Jane snaps. "You're acting like I kidnapped you."
Sirius merely glares murderously at her and Jane suddenly realizes what she's said. "Alright so maybe I did kidnap you but I have no intention of harming you." She tells him putting her hands on her hips. "Now stop that! Really, could you be more childish!"
Sirius' eyes go wide with dawning realization, and Jane gasps. Crap, she had gone into McGonagall mode, as Harry and Ron called it, now he was sure to know who she was. "Fuck." She glares down at Sirius and bites her lip. "If I let you go will you at least give me a chance to explain?" She asks suddenly.
Sirius merely stares at her and she sighs before releasing the binding but keeping a tight grip on her wand.
"Hermione?" Sirius finally manages to choke out.
"Yes. Or at least I used to be. I now go by the name Jane Williams. It'd be best if you remember me by that name else things may become confusing."
Sirius' eyes narrow, "How do I know you're really Hermione?"
"Stop that Snuffles, you know well enough it's me and if you don't believe me then transform and sniff all you want." Jane waited until Sirius was in dog form and sniffing her leg before adding. "And stay away from my crotch."
Sirius jerked away from her shocked that she could say such a thing.
"Now now." Jane admonished playfully. "You can't say you weren't thinking about it."
Sirius detransforms and collapses onto the bed. "How."
"And that's where things get complicated." Jane says plopping onto the floor. "I suggest you get comfortable this may take a while."
Sirius sinks further into the bed. Jane smiled knowing he would listen due to his ever-curious nature. But before she starts she holds out her wand. "But first you need to promise never to repeat what you hear unless I give you permission."
Sirius glares at the wand before slowly grasping its end. A flash of light and Jane pulls back satisfied. He had accepted and was now bound to keep the promise.
--------------------
"You want me to be your familiar?" Sirius asks finally.
Jane nods, "Yes, after everyone leaves for the train you will leave a note saying you need to get out of that hellhole then you will go up to Buckbeak's room. I will be waiting for you, from there I'll teleport us here and give you a potion that will make sure no one realizes you are actually you."
"And what exactly will the potion do?" Sirius asks frowning.
Jane smiles and a twinkle, similar to Dumbledore's, enters her eyes. "You'll see. But you'll have to drink it in animagus form." She pauses and pulls out a small magical pocket watch. "Bloody hell! Have we been here that long!" She exclaims shocked. Jumping up the witch grabs hold of Sirius, wraps the time-turner around his neck and spins it back.
Once everything stops moving she shoves the time-turner back under her shirt and teleports herself and Sirius to Buckbeak's room. "Told you I'd see you soon Buckbeak. Be careful Sirius." She says before giving him a kiss on the cheek and teleporting away.
Sirius stands there shocked, his mind working furiously to comprehend everything. "Did she just kiss me?" He asks aloud.
Buckbeak merely snorts and lays his head back down.
