Who Would Have Thought

Chapter 2

When she got off the train for the last time, she realized that she had grown up. She would not be a sheltered child for much longer. This would be the last year that she would be able to sit around and only worry about her grades and if her friends were mad at her. Next year she would be out in the cruel world trying to make a living for herself. That however was pushed back when Hagrid came over to her.

"Uh, Herm," Hagrid started, "Professor Dumbledore wants to see ya 'bout your trip."

"Oh yeah," said Hermione breaking her train of thoughts about growing up. "Thanks for reminding me Hargrid."

Hermione started to hurry on her way but then turned around when she heard someone shout at her.

"Hermione, you'll be really careful right?" Hagrid asked. "And could you by chance say hello to the younger me?"

Hermione smiled at him, "Of course I will Hagrid!"

She gave him a quick hug and hurried off to catch up with Harry and Ron.

*%*%*%*%*%*

When they all arrived in front of Dumbledore's office they all had a little time to talk, considering they didn't know the password and really didn't feel like guessing, since they were in no hurry.

"So what is it that Hagrid wanted to say?" Harry asked.

"Harry Potter! You really got nosey this summer!" Hermoine stated. "But since it really isn't that private and you two are my best friends... he just wanted me to take care of myself, and say hello to his younger self is all."

"You know," Ron said. "I don't think that it would be all that bad going back in time. I actually think it would be pretty cool to do."

"Well Ron does that mean that I have your approval to go without you holding my hand when I go?" Hermione asked sarcastically.

"Well I don't know, what do you think Harry"

"I think she should have to take a cell phone ("a what?" Ron asked) with her and check up from time to time." Harry answered.

"Oh my God you two I really don't know why I put up with your shit." Said Hermione, not really mad at them, more amused.

"Herm," Ron asked. "When did you start getting so testy? We were only joking!"

"Ron you take things so seriously!" Harry laughed. "She was just joking with you!"

"Oh" Ron said quietly, as he started to blush.

Hermione and Harry started to laugh at Ron when Dumbledore came up.

"What may I ask, is so funny?" Dumbledore asked

"Nothing!" Hermione and Harry managed to get out between laughs.

Hermione entered the circular office that she had always admired and was directed to sit in one of the big armchairs in front of Professor Dumbledore's desk. She was not quite sure what all he was going to tell her. Most of the technical things like: don't use your last name, don't talk about the future, and don't make any drastic changes in history, had already been pointed out to her in the letter she had received during the summer. She did however have some questions to ask, which she soon found out was one of the reasons that she was called in.

"So Miss Granger, do you have any questions about your 'trip' that you would like for me to answer?" Dumbledore asked, already knowing the answer.

"Actually Professor," Hermione began. "I do have a few if that would be alright."

"Of course, you know that is what I am here for." The older man stated.

"Well I am a little concerned about the lessons," she began. "Are they going to be the same as I am learning now, or am I going to have to go back a year? And if I go back a year will I still be able to graduate at the end of the year? Then I was also wondering if anyone knows that I am coming. I don't really know if you can communicate with Headmaster Dippet in the past. And then..."

"Miss Granger I think you are getting yourself worked up over nothing." The Professor replied. "I promise that you will be able to graduate, the lessons are basically the same, and yes, Professor Dippet has been informed of your coming. I have great confidence that you will be just fine, that is of course one of the reasons that I chose you, please don't let me down by having a conniption."

"I'm sorry Professor, I won't let you down. I am just having some pre-trip jitters." Hermione told him.

"That is completely understandable." Dumbledore confirmed. "Now before I let you go do you have any other quick questions?"

"Well there is one," she said. "Could you tell me how long I have here before I leave for the past?"

"Oh yes, I almost forgot. You will have until classes start up again. I will however send you back to the time when all the students are just arriving at Hogwarts, just so you can have some time to talk to Professor Dippet and get settled before classes begin." He told her. "So you may go have dinner now if you don't have anymore questions."

"No, I don't have any that I can think of." Hermione told him. "So I guess I'll see you on Monday around 9 o'clock, if that is okay?"

"Yes I believe that will be fine, so meet me here with all your things ready to go." He said to her.

With that she began to leave the room when he called to her.

"And Miss Granger," Dumbledore called after her. "Do try and relax, everything will be all right."

"Yes, Professor. And thank you for everything." She said on her way out.

"~So everything is going to be all right after all, I was just stressing out.~" she thought to herself as she made her way down the Great Hall for dinner. But she wasn't going to make it to dinner without getting a warm welcome back by one of her favorite people.

"So Granger," called a cold voice coming from behind her. "I heard that you are going to be gone this year. It really is a shame, I was thinking about letting you go out with me this year."

"Oh Malfoy, are you serious? I can't believe it all my dreams have finally come true. Wait here and let me go tell Dumbledore that I can't go on my trip!" Hermione said to him, trying to pretend to be one of those giggly girls that followed him everywhere, for God only knows why. "Are you crazy or something, you told me the same thing last year on the train when I showed up looking like a girl. Why don't you go screw your little whore, Parkinson, or someone and leave me the hell alone!"

"Well, well, well, we have an attitude to go with our looks this year, I'm impressed." Draco stated. "And for your information Pansy is nothing more than a little slut."

"Good, then you two are perfect for each other." She told him. "Now if you don't mind I'm going to go get some food."

With that she turned on her heel and continued on her way to the Great Hall. Only she didn't hear Draco's last comment.

"I'll get you Granger, before the year is over, I'll get you whether you like it or not."

*%*%*%*%*%*

The next few days were a total blur to her. Most things were the same, except Draco would always stare at her during meal times with a hungry look in his eyes that started to scare her. She would always eat her meals in between Harry and Ron facing the Slytherin table so she could keep an eye on him. She also never walked down the halls without her two bodyguards. This started seeming a little odd to Harry and Ron, not that they minded it or anything, but they decided to ask her. So her last night there before she left for the past, Harry and Ron approached her in the common room after dinner.

"Hermione?" Harry asked. "Are you okay? You've seemed very… jumpy lately." he finished, finding the right word.

"Ya, I'm fine." Hermione told them, trying to sound as convincing as possible. It didn't work though.

"Come on Herm, you can tell us." Ron said. "We want to be able to help you."

"Well...Okay." she gave in. "You see Malfoy has been staring at me lately and he has had this look in his eyes like he wants something."

"He has always done that, I wouldn't worry about that" Harry told her.

"I know but when I was leaving Dumbledore's office the first day back he stopped me in the hall. He told me that he would let me be his girlfriend, and I said 'no' of course, but when I left I heard him say something about me. I'm just scared of what he can do to me." Hermione confessed.

The two boys immediately engulfed her into a hug when she was finished.

"Herm, don't worry, we won't let him come near you while we are here" Ron told her.

"Ron is right, he can't do anything to you, we won't let him." Harry agreed.

"I don't know what I ever did to deserve you two," She told them. "But thank you both."

With that she gave each of them one more hug and went off to bed. She was going to have a busy day ahead of her tomorrow, and she needed her rest.

*%*%*%*%*%*

When she woke up on the awaited day, she found a pair of emerald green eyes watching her.

"HARRY POTTER! YOU SCARED THE SHIT OUT OF ME!" Hermione yelled at him.

"I'm sorry," he said as he sat down on the end of her bed. "It's just that I'm going to miss you."

"Harry, I promise you will be fine by yourself, your a big boy now remember?" she joked with him as she sat up in bed.

"Thanks Herm, that makes me feel good," He told her. "But do you think that you could possibly come home during Christmas break? You see Ron is going to be visiting his brothers this break, and I'll be all alone." Harry said.

"I tell you what, you promise to get Ron and yourself to do your homework and don't get into any trouble, and I'll see what I can do." She told him.

"Ok, I'll do my best, but do you know if you will be able to write or talk to us while you are there?" Harry asked.

"Well," Hermione told him. "I really never thought about that. I'll ask Professor Dumbledore when I go up there. Hey, could you tell me what time it is?"

Harry got off of the bed and went over to the clock to find out what time it was.

"8 o'clock" he answered.

"Oh, ok." She said as she lay back down, and then bolted back up. "8 O'CLOCK!! ARE YOU SERIOUS!" she asked as she immediately got up. "Are you and Ron coming to see me off?"

"Ya I would say so, why?" Harry asked.

"Cause you better hurry and go get him or you are not coming." She told him as she ran around her room trying to find all the things she would need, as Harry just stood there watching her.

"Well? Are you going to get Ron or not, cause I have to get dressed."

"Oh ya, I forgot." He said as he rushed out of the room.

"~Honestly, that boy.~" she thought to herself as she threw on the clothes Dumbledore had given her. She then proceeded to carry her things downstairs, and wait for Harry and Ron. They soon all met in the common room and left for Dumbledore's office.

"Hello Miss. Granger, Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley." The Headmaster greeted them as they all entered his office.

"Hello Professor, um I sort of had another question or two if that is okay." Hermione said.

"Well I sort of figured that you would, please do ask." The older man told her.

"You see I was wondering if it would be possible to come back to the present during Christmas break? Then I was also wanting to see if it is possible to communicate back and forth between past and present?" she asked him.

"Yes, to both of your questions." Dumbledore replied. "The only thing you must do is ask Professor Dippet and he will tell you how to get back and how to send letters. Now if that is all I would like to try to hurry and get you on your way."

"Oh, right, do you think I could say goodbye to Harry and Ron first?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, of course, but do try to hurry." The Headmaster told her as he went to the back while they said goodbye.

"Well I guess this is it." Ron told her as he went to hug her. "I'm going to miss you, and do be really careful!"

"I promise," she said into his robes. "I'll miss you too, but I'll write as much as I can!"

"You promise you will come back during Christmas break?" Harry asked as he took his turn to hug her.

"Don't worry, I promise." She answered.

As she pulled back Dumbledore walked into the room asking if she was ready. She gave each boy one last hug, told them again that she would be careful and watched as they walked out of the room.

"Now you are sure you want to do this, am I correct Miss. Granger?" Dumbledore questioned.

She took a deep breath and replied "Yes, as ready as I'll ever be."

"Good," the Headmaster said. "Now I need you to listen carefully to me, the moment you get there I need you to proceed to Headmaster Dippet's office, it will be in the same place that mine is now. Remember all the things that I told you in the letter too, that is all very important." He then took an object that looked very much like a time-turner out of his cabinets and gave it to her. "This will take you to the first day back at school 50 years ago. Are you ready?"

"Yes" she replied a little bit nervous.

"Okay, just hold on and it will do all the rest, and Miss. Granger," he said, "do be careful."

That was the last thing she heard before she was sucked into a spinning black hole. She felt like she was spinning for hours when all of the sudden she stopped and started to fall. She tried to remember if Dumbledore had told her anything to do when she was landing, but she could think of nothing. She didn't have to worry for long, because she soon landed on something that seemed to have caught her, or someone.

*%*%*%*%*%*
