Chapter 6: Past problems

Hermione stared out into the far reaches of the Hogwarts grounds, and as far as her eyes could see. There was surly only one thing crossing her mind, how would she get back? Would she ever see Harry again, or would there be no hope.

The sun was slowly creeping under the hills in the distance, as the first night breezes went by. She felt a cold hand on her shoulder then flipped around. She met the eyes of a girl, short black hair, and blue eyes. Although Hermione didn't know her, it was Maya.

"Hey, you should be getting back now. In this school, you have to be in bed by lights out, otherwise you could lose house points." The girl said simply, she had a small trace of sadness in her eyes.

Maya wasn't her perked up happy self, she was depressed, serious, and dragging her way along. Hermione glanced away from the girls eye, and looked down at her should.

"O.K. Yeah, I have to be going back there anyway." Hermione nodded.

"You in Lily's place -er-Wind right." Maya asked, Hermione once more nodded.

"Dumbledore already informed me about that. So, do you know the future?" Maya's eyes brighten, and stopped Hermione in her path.

"Dumbledore told me not to-ah- tell because it might -er- cause problems." Hermione stuttered to get the words out, and couldn't avoid the glaring girl.

"Don't kid yourself. Well, I already know my future, I'll die single." Maya cast her arm up in the sky.

Hermione giggled a bit, but then just shrugged casually. Together, they headed back up to the dorm rooms.

"So anyway, I guess you'll be sleeping in Lily's bed. Until we get her back that is. I don't know about you, but I'm heading straight to bed." Maya explained as they entered the dark, and empty dorm room.

Hermione nodded, but picked up a copy of Hogwarts, a history, and tucked it under her arm.

"I'm just going to read awhile, so I can sleep better. 'Night" Hermione went back down into the common room, and sat down, in one of the chairs by the fire.

Only a few late night strugglers were awake trying to finish their homework.

'Chapter one of Hogwarts, a history....' Hermione yawned, and glanced back at her book.

The words just looked like black blobs.

*I really must not have noticed how tired I was. I haven't got any sleep since-yesterday.*

Hermione shut the book, and rubbed her eyes. The fire was dying down, so the common room, was getting a bit of chills. Somewhere in the time she was thinking about Harry, and about her problem, she drifted off to a heavy sleep.

'Wormtail, any news yet on that Evans girl?' Hissed a evil voice.

'N-no master. Albus thinks she was lost in time twenty years later. In another time. M-master there w-was anothe-er girl h-here now. Her n-name is H-hermione Granger sir.' The stuttering voice said back.

There was a few more hisses.

'Perhaps this girl Granger could do us some good. Find out for me what roll she plays in time, then eliminate her.' The hisses turned into an evil cackling laugh.

"NO!!! Go away! Get out my head! Help me!" Hermione made a thunk falling to the ground.

She was grasping her head with both hands, and screaming on the top of her lungs.

"Get out of my head! Leave me alone!" Her eyes was shut tight.

"Please leave me be." Hermione's screams turned to whispers.

She slowly opened her eyes, to glance around. She was still in the common room, her book Hogwarts, a history had been knocked to the ground by the fire. Snapped tight in her palm was the necklace Harry gave her, with the initials HG. She let out a weak sigh, what was that dream about. Its like the nightmares Harry would have, but this one was about her. If she remembered correctly, it was a snake, and wormtail. They were talking about Lily, the time turner, and killing her.

*Wait, I'm behind my time by a century, that means Wormtail's still in my same time. That means I have a chance of saving the future, but I might destroy it as well.* Hermione thought in puzzles, she stood up, and glanced across the room. Right there, standing at the opposite fire, under the painting, surrounded by Remus, James, and Sirius, was the boy Peter himself.

She could never forget such a person. It was definitely him, just younger, he still was short, and chubby. On top of all that he had a devilish grin planted on his face, as he stared back toward her.

She flinched at the sight of him, that jerk, that traitor, that murderer. It made her sick. She bent down to pick up her book, and dusted it off. He was still watching her every moment, with pure interest. She shot him a warning glance, the went over to the middle table.

"Hey Ginny Wind right. We never got a really good chance to get to know each other before, anyway, I'm Remus Lupin." Remus got up, and came towards her.

"This-" He inclined toward the three other boys. "Is James, Sirius, and Peter. I think you meet some of them before." Hermione politely smiled, and nodded(A/N there's a lot of nodding in this story, maybe she should just nod her head every time anyone says anything.)

James stood up. "Hey Ginny, maybe you should get to bed now, its really late."

*Whats he trying to pull, I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself.* She glanced over at Remus's pale face.

*On second thought, Remus must be transforming tonight. A full moon I guess. Maybe I'll get a chance to talk to Peter alone.*
