A/N: You guys will soon understand how this time continuum came to be, but I can't bring it up this quick into the story or everything'll get spoiled...so ya.
Hermione stood up and brushed dust off of her black work robes.
She cleared her throat and gestured to herself, Ron, and Harry.
"We are students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry," she explained.
"But the school isn't open yet," Rowena Ravenclaw replied.
"Yes, yes, we know. You see... you are Gryffindor, Slytherin, Ravenclaw, and
Hufflepuff. Am I correct?" Hermione asked.
They all nodded slowly.
Suddenly Slytherin interrupted their conversation.
"As charming as this may be, I have to owl someone a message immediately.
Please excuse me," he said.
Gryffindor turned towards him.
"You may Salazar. Return quickly. We have much work ahead of us," he told
him.
Then Helga Hufflepuff gave Hermione and the boys a dimpled smile and said,
"Go on deary. What is it that you had to say?"
"This is going to sound very strange to you, but my name is Hermione Granger.
This is Harry Potter, and Ron Weasley," Hermione started.
"How is that strange?" Rowena Ravenclaw asked, slowly taking clips out of
a perfect, tight bun that rested on top of her head. Her long black hair fell
down to her waist.
"Well, like we established earlier, you are the four founders of Hogwarts
School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, are you not?" Hermione asked.
"Yes, we are," Godric Gryffindor replied.
"Well, we are students at Hogwarts a few centuries later than this time..."
Hermione said as reasonably as possible.
Crash!
Rowena Ravenclaw's wine glass crashed to the floor.
"Oh, I'm so sorry!" Rowena exclaimed.
"It's okay Rowena. Allow me," Godric Gryffindor replied.
He mumbled a spell and the mess was gone in no time.
"Now," Godric began. "Can you explain yourself Hermione?"
"Believe me. This is going to sound really strange, but you just have to go
along with me," Hermione said.
Harry and Ron finally recovered from their shock and began to speak as well.
"We're students at Hogwarts and we walked into a closet. The closet in this
same room, and then we found ourselves transported back a few centuries to
here," Harry said.
Ron and Hermione nodded furiously.
"Oh, is that so? Well children, I don't know what type of joke you are trying
to pull here, but -" Rowena Ravenclaw began.
"Rowena! I believe them!" Godric stopped her.
Ron's jaw dropped open. "You do?!"
"I don't believe it. I'm glad you believe me - us... I know it seems really
far-fetched, but it is the truth!" Hermione insisted.
"If you don't mind me asking - why do you believe us?" Harry asked.
"Well, only someone who knows of Hogwarts and belongs to Hogwarts can be at
Hogwarts. It's one of the spells we put on it," Godric Gryffindor explained.
"Of course! I read that in Hogwarts, a History ages ago!" Hermione
exclaimed excitedly.
"Yes Hermione, we know you always have your nose in a book. You don't have
to brag about it," Ron retorted with a smirk.
Hermione stuck her tongue out at Ron.
"Well, have a seat you three. I have some questions for you," Gryffindor said.
