A/N By now, it should be obvious that I don't own this.

I had lots of fun writing this chapter. You should be scared now. I really like this fic because I can really have fun with it. *grins evilly*





Hermione slowly opened her eyes. She ached a little from the fall, but she could still feel her legs so she was sure that she would live.

She slowly stood up, stretching. Looking around, she saw that Hogwarts looked very much the same in 1979 as 1999.

She climbed down the nearest stair case. It led her down to the Entrance Hall. It looked as it always did.

Hermione walked into the Great Hall. She tried to close the door softly, but a loud boom told her that she had not accomplished that. Everyone's head turned to look at her. The girls merely glanced at her, but the boys' eyes lingered on her. She could feel herself turning scarlet.

Hermione lifted her chin up and stubbornly walked up to the High Table, ignoring the catcalls and whistling. She stopped before a younger Dumbledore and handed him the letter. Dumbledore took it and read it carefully. He nodded to her and said, "We have a new student here. Her name is Hermione Granger." To Hermione, he asked, "What house were you in before?"

"Gryffindor," Hermione whispered.

Aloud, he said, "And she will be in Gryffindor."

The Gryffindor boys whistled and high-5-ed each other as though they had won some wonderful prize. Hermione would soon teach them that she was not a prize.

Hermione put on her fiercest tough-girl look and walked up to the Gryffindor table. She sat down and flicked her hair back. That caused a few boys to whistle loudly.

'This could be fun,' Hermione thought, putting on a sweet smile. 'Lots of fun.' She had decided against trying to ignore all the attention, but to instead milk it for what it was worth. She was only going to be there for 4 months.

She looked to see who was sitting across from her. It was a cute blonde boy, with a sweet smile. She knew this because he was smiling right at her. She smiled back and began to eat.

A half an hour later, Hermione found herself sitting in one of the chairs in the Gryffindor common room. In her hand was a book, but she wasn't reading it. Instead, she was studying the people sitting around and talking. She saw a pretty red-headed girl with green eyes laughing with a few other girls. Hermione was sure that this was Lily Evans. Looking at Lily, she chuckled to herself. It was plain to see that Lily was Harry's mother.
She was sent back to reality when someone tapped her shoulder. She turned around and found herself literally face to face with a boy with untidy black hair and deep blue eyes. Behind him were two other boys, one with blonde hair and blue eyes and the other had black hair and muddy brown eyes.

"Hello---"Hermione had to stop herself from saying 'James.' She wassure that it was him. The other two must be Remus and Sirius, she thought.

"Hello, Herminee," James said. He, Remus, and Sirius sat down near her.

"Actually, it's Hermione. Don't worry, you're not the first to mess it up," she replied.

"Whatever,"James said, brushing it off. As he said this Hermione noticed that Sirius's eyes never left her. She found this horribly desturbing.

"So, tell us, Hermione, what year are you in?" Sirius asked, leaning closer to her.

"7th,"she answered.

"You'll have class with us, then," Remus told her. 'Duhhh!!!!!' Hermione thought.

"What, do you strong boys want to make sure I get to my classes okay?" she asked sweetly.

"Yes, and to make sure you don't mess with the wrong sort," James said.

"Take the Slytherins for example," Sirius said. "They hate us and will probably hate you."

"Thanks for telling me,"she replied. "When do we start these lessons?"

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The next morning Hermione looked her school uniform over. It was considerably different than her 1999 one. The previous night she had received everything that she would need for the school term from Dumbledore. The letter from the other Dumbledore must have explained that she needed a lot of extra things for school. It wouldn't be wise for her to be walking around in a pair of robes that hadn't even been made yet.

She looked around the girl's dorm. None of the girls were present. What if she was running late? One glance at the clock told her that this was not true. Most likely the girls here were early risers. Or there aren't many girls in the dorm period.

Hermione made sure the draperies around the windows were closed. It wouldn't do her any good for anyone to see her half naked. She pulled off her pajama top in the same heartbeat that someone opened the door. She turned to Sirius Black standing in the doorway, staring.

"Sirius!" she yelled, blushing furiously as she tried to cover herself up. Why did he even come up here? she asked herself. "What are you doing here?"

Snapping back from her staring state, Sirius started to blush. . He was stuttering and stammering something Hermione couldn't make out. He finally gave up and closed the door.

This wasn't what Hermione expected from her trip back in time. She was used to everyone thinking of her as a bookworm and nothing else. As horrible as it sounded, it wasn't bad. most of the boys left her alone because of it. But here? Every boy was attracted to her. She wasn't used to it. It would prove to be something she would have to get used to, or things could get difficult.

After Hermione dressed she walked down to the commone room. Across the room Lily stood up and walked over to her.

"Hermione, it's my fault," Lily began. "I thought you were still asleep and Sirius wanted to wake so I told him could. I didn't mean for this to happen. You have to know that. I would never."

"It's okay. It was an accident," Hermione replied. "Poor Sirius."

Lily smiled a little. "Yeah, he had a bit of a shock. I've never seen him so..so....shocked or scared. I would congratulate you on giving him a shock if it hadn't have been at your expense. Nobody can ever throw off Sirius and you just did. He deserved it, I guess, for all those pranks he plays."

Hermione giggled. "Is he that bad?"

"Worse. You see, James, Remus, and Peter all help Sirius. It can be bad. But, they seem to like you, so I think you'll live."

"Oh good," Hermione replied.

"Let's go to breakfast," Lily said.








I hope nobody minded what happened with Sirius and Hermione. Most of you I'm sure are guessing that this will be S/H. I think I'll do it that way. But, I want to ask, who do YOU think Hermione should have a romance with?

These are your choices:

James Potter

Sirius Black

Remus Lupin

Peter Pettigrew

Severus Snape

Lucius Malfoy





Lady Alanna Salmalin of Conte
