REVIEW or I'll bite you. No, I'm not that vicious (all the time).

Summary: Remus/Hermione all the way! She finds someone. They are from different worlds. Can the worlds be brought together? Does love really surmount all obstacles?

~Chapter 1. My Love-less Life~

I laid awake thinking, because I couldn't go to sleep. Tomorrow I have a potions test and I can't sleep. This is not good. But I guess it gave me a peace of mind to be able to think without someone every five minutes asking me for help.

I have everything I need for the perfect life, right? I'm pretty, I have good grades, my parents love me, my teachers (well, except Snape) love me, I have two of the best friends in the world. But there is some deep dark void in my life that I can't fill. There is a desire somewhere inside of me, yearning to fall in love. I've had my share of boyfriends, but they weren't exactly the best experiences I have had.

I can't think about this anymore. It just gets more and more depressing. I know what I need. A walk. I got up and tip-toed out into the common room where Harry was sitting reading a book.

"Hermione, what are you still doing up?"

"Couldn't sleep. I could ask the same of you."

"Studying. I can't afford to fail this potions test tomorrow."

"I think I'm going to take a midnight stroll."

"Wandering the corridors at night? That's not a very Prefect thing to do is it?"

"Yeah, but I need to clear my mind."

"What's wrong? You know you can always come to me."

"I just need to take a walk."

"Well then, here, take this." Harry pulled out a very silvery cloak and tossed it to her. He didn't want her getting caught.

"Thanks," I said and slipped it on. I left and walked around, deciding where I should go. Almost by habit, I had steered myself in the direction of the library. Hmmm, this would be fun. I could browse the restricted section. No, I can't. I would be breaking rules. I already am breaking rules by being up and it's only one little rule. Shut up conscious. Okay, here we go. I slid through the doors and into the restricted section.

Ever since I had to use a time-turner, I've been interested in time-travel. A lot of the in-depth books are kept in here. Time and It's Ways, that looks like a good book. I reached out for it, but another book caught my eye. In a shelf of old worn books was a gleaming black book. It looked new. I picked up that one. I couldn't make out the title, it was the only worn part of it. It just looked odd. I turned to the first page and fell clear into the book.
