Chapter 3: Classes start
Filled up and dead tired they listened to Dumbledore about the changes in the school, "And last but not least our new teacher. Professor Battle will be the DADA teacher and Duel teacher along with Professor Lupin." Cheers came all around the room. "And now it is time to get some rest." The all left and went to the common room. Hermione was prefect so had to take the first years back.
"I should be getting some sleep as well." Hermione said to Severus, "I have Slytherin and Gryffindor tomorrow morning." He grimaced, "Good luck" "I will need it with those Slytherins." She said grinning. He chuckled softly to himself as she departed. 'That woman is a mystery. I hope I can reveal her.' He thought as he departed as well.
While she was walking to her new rooms she was thinking about the upcoming war. 'This will all begin in a few months.' She thought and sighed. 'It must be stopped.' She tightened her fist around her ring and felt a sudden power that she had always felt when she touched it.
Hermione smiled and went into her rooms to rest. Mumbling words and smiling she fell asleep.

Gryffindor tower the next morning...
"Ron wake up! Come on you lazy git! Wake up!" Harry was trying everything possible to get his best friend to wake up, he had even levitated him into the bathroom and under a cold shower, but that had failed as well. Ron was wet, had purple hair and all sorts of other hex forms over him but was still sleeping like a baby.
Hermione had walked in. "Is he still sleeping? We are going to miss our first class by this rate." Harry sighed, "Yes and I've tried everything possible to wake him up." Hermione wanted to give it a shot, "Ron, if you don't wake up you are going to miss the Chudly Cannons who are standing in the Great Hall to meet you."
Ron's eyes shot open. "Where are they? And [I]what [/I] do you think you're doing here?" He snapped at Hermione while trying to cover up his bare chest and pajama pants with a towel. "Getting you to wake up," She grinned, "And looks like it worked."
Ron grumbled again. "You made you're point; can you go now so that I can get ready?" "Sure thing Ronny boy." She walked away chuckling to herself.

Not so far away another Hermione was brutally awaken by a certain shaggy black dog. "What the-? What do you think you're doing Sirius? I was having a wonderful dream." The dog changed into Sirius and was grinning, "I am waking you up, it is breakfast time, you know Hermione when you where younger you weren't so slow with waking up." "Maybe that's because when I was younger I didn't experience a [I]war [/I] where most of my loved ones died in." His face faltered. "I'm sorry I didn't think." She took his hands, "I know you didn't think, but I shouldn't have snapped at you. It's not fault I went through the war of wars." He smiled are you coming to breakfast?" "Do I have a cho-" She clamped her hand in front of her mouth and raced to the bathroom.
"Hermione are you ok?" Sirius asked as he heard her barfing in the toilet. "T-Think s-so." She coughed out weakly. "Can I come in?" "A-Are you sure a- about that?" He heard her chuckling. "Yes." He replied and opened the door.
Hermione was draped around the toilet, "Don't breathe through your nose." This time it was Sirius who was chuckling, "What do you think the reason is why you are barfing your butt off rite now?" He asked. "Well it can be two things....."

"Well it can be two things....." She sighed and grinned, "It can be something I ate or it can be just the flue." Sirius just nodded in response. "Well take it easy today then." "I will don't worry." He left to let Hermione get ready. "Bye snuffles." She shouted to the black shadow going away. He woofed and left to the room he shared with Remus.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That morning at breakfast Hermione didn't east much, she was too distracted with looking at the Gryffindor table. 'If only I could see you again, Harry. I miss you so much.' A tear threatened to come down, but she willed it back. "Are you ok, Miss Battle?" She heard the voice of Severus Snape say. "Yeah, I'm fine."
Her first class that day; Slytherin and Gryffindor 5th years, which meant the most horrible Slytherins where there. "Professor Battle; I never heard of a pure blooded family by that name. It must be a mud blood." Draco Malfoy said rather loudly. "50 points from Slytherin and a 3 day detention Mr. Malfoy, no-one calls me a mud-blood, not even a Malfoy." She said with a grim face.
"Hello class my name is Professor Battle. You will not be messing around in my class and if you do you will be removed and fail the class, and no not even your potions grate will save you from that. Now let us start with class. Last year you had the unforgivable curses right?" They nodded, "Good, can anyone tell me which they are?" She smiled as she saw her younger self hand shoot up, "Let's see...Mr. Longbottem, can you tell me which the unforgivable curses are?" Neville made a few sounds and stared at her. "C-Cruciat-tus...erm...and...Imp-perius and...and the k-killing curse." "Very good Neville, 30 points to Gryffindor." "Who can tell me the next curse that will be invented and likely be an unforgivable curse?" It became quiet in the classroom. Only one hand was raised slowly, "Yes Miss. Granger?" "There is a curse being invented that will kill you slow and painfully instead of quick like the killing curse." "Very good, 20 points to Gryffindor. Do you also know the name?" "Erm...I think it was called the 'Death of Pain' curse" "That's correct. 10 more points to Gryffindor."
"Does any of the Slytherins know how painfully this new curse will be compared to the Cruciatus curse?" Pansy put up her hand, "Yes, Miss. Parkinson?" "It will be 10 to 20 times more painfully then the Cruciatus curse." She said with a smug look on her face. "Good, 10 points to Slytherin."
"As homework I will assign the duel class tonight. All those who didn't come can expect 50 points taken from their house. So be there tonight at 8." She said and the bell rang.
Remus came out the office next to the classroom as all the students had left for their next class. "Good job Jess." She chuckled. "It will take me a while to get used to that name Remus." "You did a good job though, where you nervous?" "Extremely, I've never been in the same room as my younger self. It was hard to do. I hope I didn't blow my cover." He nodded, "Yes, but if Snape doesn't see the difference then they wont as well." Sighing she replied, "I guess you're right."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Harry, Hermione and Ron where walking to their next class and where discussing their last lesson. "I still say that Remus was better." Harry commented. "She has a lot theoretic knowledge Harry. I don't even know how she knew that spell. I found it on a sheet of parchment McGonagall gave me." Hermione responded. "Maybe she's creating it." Ron said while chewing on a Bertie Bott. "Don't be ridicules Ron, why would Dumbledore hire a woman who is inventing the worst spell of the wizarding world?" "Why did he hire Quirrel? Or Moody?" Ron replied. "How should I know?"
Harry looked at both of them go on another one of their fights. "Let's just go guys; we need to get to class." They stopped arguing and went to class in silence.
