Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter or any of the characters. If I did then Remus, Severus, Fred, Dumbledore, Mad-Eye Moody, Dobby, and Tonks would not have died.

AN: I highly apologize for the lateness of this chapter. But the holidays are always hectic. The years are going to be 1978 and 1998 for the story's timeframe since The Marauders are 17 in 1978. I finally decided to do some snooping around online to find out information that I either forgot, or have never known prior to writing this story. Also to anyone who is angry about how I had misspelled some of the words/names, like Gryffindor I apologize but when you work until 5 am and then start to type a story after working you tend to miss a few typos. As for the age and birthday of Hermione and Severus, I couldn't decide who's birthday to use for them so I just picked a random one as their birthday. Sorry about that but I couldn't say they are twins and then give them separate birthdays. Also if you notice Hermione is indeed 18 while Harry and Ron are 17 it's because she was born a year before them, but that's JK's doing not mine. Now enough of my notes on with this story.

AN 2: DOES ANYONE KNOW THE NAME OF THE DIVINATIONS PROFESSOR IN THE MARAUDERS SCHOOL YEARS?

Dream, Flashback/memory

-----------------------------------------------Summery---------------------------------------------------------------

Hermione has done something terrible. But there's a twist was it really Hermione or just a cruel trick? Remus seems to sense something but what is it? And why has no one else noticed what's happening? Things are changing rapidly. New memories are forming and old ones are being erased from everyone's minds. What's going on and why now when there is a funeral to attend?

----------------------------------------------1978 Lily's POV--------------------------------------------------------------

I can remember having a weird dream. I saw a boy who looked like Frank and Alice, two redheads, an angelic looking blonde and a different looking Hermione. I also saw an older version of Sev, Remus, and Professor Dumbledore. What is this dream anyway? This bother's me greatly enough to wake me up. I look around and realize that both Remus and Hermione are asleep next to me. Remus looks like he is having a bad dream so I shake him awake. Once he is awake we start to talk about the dreams we had, only to realize that they are the same.

"Maybe we should wake Hermione. I think we somehow saw her dream or memory or whatever it was. I mean you were an adult Remus! And that boy, Harry, he looked like James. Don't you want to know what it means? I've never heard of anyone sharing his or her dreams before but I know we can't rule it out. After all I am a witch, so nothing is truly impossible." I still can't get the image of Harry out of my head. He looks so much like James, and his eyes, they are as green as mine are. Then there's Sev, he looks so sad and broken as an adult, like he lost everything he ever cared for.

I'm all for waking Hermione up, but Remus is against it. He thinks that Hermione is going to need all the sleep she can get, and that we can get the answers we need from the library or even from our Divinations professor. So we make a deal I levitate Hermione up to her bed then we go to the Divinations classroom to speak with our professor. On the way we run into Dorcas Meadows as she is leaving the room. "Hey Dorcas, is Professor Wicklif in? We need to speak to her about something." As soon as Dorcas tells us yes I thank her and we run into the classroom. I can see her already she is busy staring at a crystal ball and frowning.

"Professor Wicklif? May we speak to you professor? We have a question we really need answers for." She finally seems to notice that we are in the room and looks at us instead of her ball. "Oh, yes Miss Evans, Mr. Lupin how can I hope you two today?" She is by far one of the nicest of the professors here. We quickly explain to her the dream we both had and that we had been on the couch with Hermione when we had it. Then Remus decides to add in the fact of how Hermione acted that made us be in that position and how I had only heard Hermione say 'I'm sorry guys' whereas he heard 'Harry, Ron and Ginny' being said.

Professor Wicklif looks at us with a hard stare as if she is looking into our very beings and I feel a shiver run down my spine. She is a very brilliant person and right now she is scaring the hell out of me, so much so that I barely realize that she is talking again. "I will tell you now, that girl is not who you think she is. She has seen more death and been in more duels then anyone of her age should ever face. But that was not an ordinary dream that she had it was a vision of the future, and what you two had seen while sleeping next to her was not a dream either. You three have a bond something so strong that you can share memories with each other, that was what you saw, a memory of her past. She has a mission here and until it is complete she will never let herself be who she really is. Since you two are bonded to her, it will be you two who will have to help her complete her mission or else she will die within the next 4 years, she will just fade out of existence. Now go and be with her, tell her all of this and that you are to help her with her mission. GO!"

As soon as I had heard all that she had said I wanted to cry, Hermione is going to die by 1982 if we do not help her. But when she screamed at us to go I turned and ran. I felt a horrible feeling in my stomach that if I didn't something terrible was going to happen. I was already halfway to the Gryffindor tower when Remus caught up to me and we ran to the tower. When we got to the portrait of the fat lady I was so shaken up and anxious that I couldn't remember the password. "Draconus Incarcerious!" At least Remus remembers. We bolt into the tower once the door is open to us and up to Hermione's room. She is on the floor sweaty, and her face is covered in blood. I grab a rag and wet it down to clean her up and notice the blood is from a gash on her forehead and both wrists are sliced open.

I quickly decide to cast a bandaging charm to stop the blood from going anywhere else "Ferula!" As soon as I get her wrists done I get ready to bandage her head but before I can think Remus has picked her up and is running faster then I have ever seen him move. We run past James and Sirius on the way to the hospital wing. I can hear them shouting at us but we do not have time to stop. Once we reach the hospital wing Remus lays Hermione on a bed while I get Madam Pomfrey. She rushes over to Hermione and casts a few spells to check her over and then removes the bandages on her wrists. After a few more spells this time to heal the injuries she gives Hermione a blood-replenishing potion.

"Now, Miss Evans, Mr. Lupin, what may I ask happened to her? She has traces of dark magic around her wrists and a few around her neck. I want to know what happened and I want to know now!" I wish I knew but I don't. So I tell her that we had been in Divinations talking to the professor, when I had a feeling that something bad was going to happen, and how I had run to the Gryffindor tower and we found Hermione in her room on the floor. Once we explain everything to her she has to sit down in shock over the news. "This has not happened before at least not since the first few years of Hogwarts being opened up by the four founders. It had happened to a student in Rowena's house. But this is nearly impossible. That was ages ago."

----------------------------------------------1998 Harry's POV----------------------------------------

I can just barely remember the funeral now, but I remember seeing Snape and Remus in the shadows and how the flowers formed a wolf in a heart on her casket. Then someone grabbing my arm and pulling me away from the funeral. After that everyone returned to Hogwarts that belonged there including some of the parents. But now it seems like forever since that day. Ginny, Ron and I were admitted to the hospital wing over a week ago because we'd break down whenever we thought of Hermione.

Just yesterday Professor McGonagall came in and I heard her talking to Madam Pomfrey. She was telling her that the three of us need to go to Saint Mungos hospital for our own safety. I don't really mind anymore anywhere is better then sitting in a castle that is full of ghosts. Remus finally returned today, he came in to see me. Actually he's here now with some of the people from Saint Mungos they are taking us now.

I hear Madam Pomfrey talking to them and to Dumbledore. They are going to take Professor McGonagall as well. It seems she had a nervous breakdown of some sort and can not cast even the simplest spell right now. I miss Hermione so much. I wish that she would have never left us. But I still can't get the image of her out of my head. I can still see the blood, the marks from the rope and knife, and then I see her writing the letter.

I try to focus on that letter, I know I saw that person before the face was there a blur but it was there, and the black robes that billowed out. I can only think of one person who could possibly be the one in the letter and that's Snape. I know he's got something to do with Hermione's death but I just can't figure out what it is. Oh well it's time to go. Remus is coming over to gather my few belongings and I together.

Once I am situated in my room with Ron, Ginny, and Professor McGonagall I realize that maybe things aren't as bad as they seem. "Medical staff have been in here every few minutes to check on us and give us calming draughts when we need them. But I don't need them all I need is for my sister, my Hermione to return. Then I will be happy again. Then I will be able to be normal and I can fight Voldemort. Just bring her back to us Remus Please?"

Remus just looks at me with a saddened look on his face. He has tears rolling down his cheeks and he looks older then I have ever seen him look. This can't be the same man who just a week or so ago was smiling and happy. The man who was secretly in love with Hermione. He was happier, younger, this man is sadder and older. Hermione please come back. Please?
