A/N: Thanks for your reviews. Here's the next chapter. Enjoy.
Chapter 11.
The days went by. Hermione and Remus were very close together. They worked together on assignments all the time. People knew that they were now officially a couple. And again, McGonagall gave Hermione the lecture."Do you know how serious this is, Miss Granger? Do you?!" She asked angrily. Hermione looked at the ground feeling abit of ashamed. She knew she had broken a most serious law but she didn't care. She was so happy now.
"Yes, Professor. And I know what I'm doing. I don't wish to be rude or anything, but I would like you to leave me alone about this. If I'm suppose to be playing as Hermione Dumbledore and not myself, I'll need to make sure I play the part right." She said looking the strict teacher right in the eye. McGonagall sighed heavily. "This is changing time, Miss Granger. You cannot do this sort of thing!" She said wearily.
That was then Dumbledore walked into the room. "Minerva, allow me." he said. Hermione looked very nervous. She looked away with a few tears in her eyes. She knew she was in trouble. The strict teacher looked at the Headmaster and nodded slowly. She left the room. Dumbledore leaned against Professor McGonagall's desk and let his blue moon like eyes gaze upon Hermione. He was quiet for a long time then he smiled."I have no problem with this little fix whatsoever."
Hermione looked surprised at him. "You.....you don't?" She asked. Dumbledore nodded. "You are a young woman who fell through time by an accident. But still, you have met love even if it is against standards. You must remember, Miss Granger, that you are from the future. And things will change." He told her.
The brown eyed sixth year nodded. "I know, Professor. But no matter what happens, time has already changed. It's because I did come to the past." She said. Dumbledore nodded. "That is correct. Time has changed. But still, we must not let it change so rapidly. I agree with Professor McGonagall in a way. You can not get too involved with Mr. Lupin."
Hermione nodded looking at the ground. Dumbledore smiled though. "But I do agree with you as well. You are only human and you can't help it if you fall for a very hansome young man like Remus. Perhaps it's destiny, perhaps not. But I do want you to be more careful." He said. Hermione looked up and smiled at the Headmaster. She gave a slight nod. Dumbledore nodded back. "Now then, you are free to go after I explain a few more things." He said. Hermione nodded folding her hands together.
Dumbledore stood straighter. "Professor McGonagall and I have done some researching without the Ministry of Magic's knowledge and have come to the conclusion that we may be able to send you back to 1996 soon. You will be able to live in your own time once again very soon. We will have to create a time travelling potion that will send you back. But it will take quite some time. Maybe a few weeks. So by Valentine's day or possibly longer than that, maybe Easter, you will be back in 1996."
Hermione felt a small twinge of happiness that she'd be going back so soon. But then the thought of going back made her face fall. The thought of leaving Remus was unbearable. She forced a smile and nodded at Dumbledor. "Thank you so much, Professor." She said.
Dumbledore nodded. "Your welcome, Miss Granger. You may go." He told her. Hermione quickly left the classroom. She hurried down the hall before stopping. She placed her hand against the wall and felt her tears just coming. She was going to be gone by Valentine's day.
Hermione was quiet for the next few days. Remus was always wondering what was wrong. But his girlfriend wouldn't tell him. She just told him that nothing was wrong and she didn't want to talk about it. So Remus kept quiet.
The next full moon was coming. It took the edge off some things for Hermione. The five Marauders were going to go together this time. They were excited really. Especially Sirius, James and Peter. It was going to be their first time running with an otter in the group.
They were always planning their big adventure while working on their homework. Lily and Remus was patrolling the halls since it was their turn. Hermione was writing in her diary again. As she wrote the ink sank into the paper. Sirius looked over at her. He glanced around then leaned over to see what she was writing. Hermione didn't look up but her brow furrowed and she slightly closed her book.
"Don't even think about about, Padfoot." She said. Sirius pouted abit. James looked around. "Just curious, Swift. I know you can't say anything but what is the future like?" He whispered. Hermione glanced over at him. She bit her lip and shook her head. "I can't say, James. I'm sorry." She said.
She despretely wanted to tell them. She knew she was running out of time to tell them. But she couldn't. She was in trouble as it was. She sighed. "I'm going to bed." She got up and hurried up the girl's dorms.
The three Marauders watched her. "That was abit weird. Something's up with Swiftstar. I wonder what's wrong with her." James said. Peter was quiet for a minute. "Maybe she knows something that might hurt in the future." He suggested. Sirius nodded. "Yeah. That's probably it. I wonder what could be so bad." He said.
Hermione was listening on the stairs. She sighed deeply.
'You have no idea how bad it is, Sirius.'
Then she went up stairs. She plopped onto her bed and just stared up the cieling. She had to tell them some how. She wanted to save her friends from the worst predicament ever. She wanted Harry to have his parents. She wanted Peter to stay good and innocent like he was now. She wanted Sirius to be okay with his family. She wanted to be in Remus's arms forever. But no. She couldn't help. She just couldn't.
Hermione rolled over onto her stomache. "If I can't tell them myself, I'll tell them by letter. It'll give them a chance." She climbed off her bed and started to dig in his trunk for the writing set that Peter gave her for Christmas. She found it and began writing. She was going to start with Sirius's. She already knew what she wanted to say to him.
Hermione dipped her eagle feather into the green ink and began. The letter would be short and simple but it would say enough.
My good friend, Padfoot,
I know I shouldn't say anything, but I must. This has been haunting my thoughts since I came to the past. And I need to tell you the truth. As you know, I came from the future and all. But there is something that you must know and be aware of. Last year, my time in my fifth year, a horrible thing happens. It's really hard to explain but I will try my best. I will be attacked by DeathEaters with my two best friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, along with Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley. We will in the Ministry of Magic under false information about you being captured and tortured by Lord Voldemort. You will come rescue us with other people of the Order of the Phoenix and fight your cousin. You must not fight her, Sirius. Please don't fight her. She'll kill you. She'll kill you with her wand. I didn't want to get involved with everyone here in this time. But I did. I had to warn you that you will die if you fight Bellatrix Lestrange, your cousin. I hope you get this letter sometime in the future before it happens. But please becareful. I don't want to lose you again.
Swiftstar, aka, Hermione
Hermione had shed some tears while writing it. Her tears splashed onto the parchment as she wrote. Then she began blowing on the ink to dry it. Then she folded it and put it into the envelope. She wrote Padfoot on the envelope and then stuffed it under her pillow.
She would figuare out what to do with it later. She then began writing to James.
Dearest and noble Prongs,
I wanted to tell you that you have been a great friend this year while I was here. I know I can't tell you but I have to. It's about your future. And Lily's future. Along with your son and my best friend, Harry. Yeah, your son is my best friend in the future. And I just had to tell you or Lily. When Harry is one years old, on Halloween's night, you will be betrayed by one of your friends and Lord Voldemort will attack you, Lily and Harry. You and Lily will be killed. Harry will survive the Avada Kedava curse and be famous in the years to come. I can't bear it that you, my best friend and my best friend's father, will be dead. Please don't make Peter your Secret Keeper. It's for everyone's sake. Even Harry's. I don't want to see Harry without parents. He loved you even if he didn't have you. But I would rather see him with you and not with Lily's sister's family. They are horrid to him. Please becareful in the future. I hope you come through alright.
Swiftstar, aka Hermione
Hermione had cried all over that letter too. Tears had smeared the word Peter but she tried to fix it. It was alright after she was done. The next letter would be to Peter. She had to tell him the truth. Just in case the letter didn't reach James, Peter would have his and maybe he wouldn't betray James and Lily Potter.
My poor Wormtail,
One time you asked me a question. A question about the future. You asked if you would betray one of your friends. I said no you wouldn't. But I lied. You will. You will betray James and Lily. Selling them to Lord Voldemort to save your own skin. I can't bear it that you, innocent but shameful, Peter, would do this. I must warn you now of what you did. And hopefully you won't do it. You are a great friend, Peter. Please don't betray James and Lily. Please don't ruin their son's life. Harry is my best friend in the future. I don't want to see you live your life as our best friend's murderer. I want to see you as a clean man in the future and not a dirty, scumbag one. Farewell, Wormtail and remember what I said.
Swiftstar, aka Hermione
She was trembling by now from the pain she was having. She really hoped that Peter would understand and not hurt James and Lily. Hopefully he would find this letter and make sure that nothing bad would happen to her best friends.
The next letter was to be Remus's. She couldn't think of any real reason why she had to tell him anything but she figuared that she would write him telling him everything she told the other three.
My dearest love Remus,
This year has been the most amazing year of my life. I have loved our moments together and would never trade it for anything. You have shown me a true meaning in life. I wish the moments would last for a lifetime. But they can't. I wish they could but they can't. Since I won't be able to stay forever like we wished for, there are things I must tell you. Things of the future. I know you didn't want me to tell you because of how much it would change the future. But the things I have to tell you is very important.
Number one, you must make sure James and Lily stays alive. They will die if they don't have protection. They will be betrayed by someone and murdered. Please make sure they stay safe. Harry, James's son will need alot of guidence when you are our D.A.D.A teacher in our third year. He'll need you to teach him how to conjurer up the Patronus. If you don't teach him, Harry and I will be attacked by the Dementors trying to protect Sirius from them. We won't be able to protect ourselves. Sirius, Harry and I will be worst than dead. Please help us this way.
Number two, make sure Sirius treats Peter right. Keep very close to him. Make sure he doesn't become a coward. Because if he does, he'll betray James and Lily. Betray all of you. He'll sell them to Voldemort and Harry will never get to see his parents besides from pictures and stuff.
Number three, make sure Sirius doesn't do anything stupid in the future. I know that'll be hard.
Hermione paused to laugh under her tears. It would be very hard to keep Sirius from doing anything dumb. She went on.
But he will die if he doesn't have protection. The right protection anyway. Bellatrix will kill him if he doesn't becareful. If he doesn't follow Dumbledore's orders.
And number four, which is the most important of all, I love you with all my heart. I will never forget our moments. Never. But you know as well as I do, that we can't always be together. It hurts so much to think such things and right now I'm bawling like a baby because of the thoughts. I never want to think such things. I have never been so happy in my life untel I was with you. You must understand that you were always the one for me. I will always love you and nothing else will never matter but you. Farewell, my love. And never forget me.
Forever yours,
Hermione Jane Granger 'Dumbledor'
Hermione sniffed her tears back. She blew on the ink and then kissed the parchment. After she was done she carefully put the letters into evelopes and addressed them to Prongs, Wormtail and Moony.
She put the four letters together into her trunk. She would give them to her best friends before she had to go back to her time. Hopefully, things would really change. She wanted to see a brighter future. Hermione curled up on her bed and fell asleep.
A/N: Abit dramatic in the chapter. But this was the only Hermione could warn her friends. Since she can't tell them herself she wrote a letter to each and every one of them. Hope you like it and it's not getting boring. There are several more chapters coming up so don't worry about it ending so fast. Review please.
