"The Room of Requirment. It'll give us a portal back to our own time."
And so the four of them began their trek through the halls of Hogwarts, searching for that one room. Sirius was kind of sad to be going. It had taken a lot of strength to be able to hold back from killing Peter then and there but it would only have made his life hell even sooner. Besides, he had messed with time enough as it was. He glanced down at Hermione, who was holding his hand as they walked. She was smiling brightly, apparently unable to contain her happiness. His mood lightened considerably with that knowledge. He had made her this happy. It was because of him that she had that extra bounce in her step. He sighed, contented.

The group had finaly reached their destination. Hermione turned to the others with a smile on her face. "It was nice to meet you both!"
James nodded his head at her, still a bit weary of her. Lilly had smiled, "And it was nice to meet the girl who could tame Sirius." she winked at Hermione, who in turn blushed.
Sirius looked at his two old friends with no little amount of regret. He sighed as he ran his hand through his hair. There was just no easy way of saying goodbye. Ever.
"Buck up! Look, Whatever happens in the future, happens! There is nother we can do about it. But whatever it is thats got you down, know this. We forgive you." James smiled at his friend as he noticed a tear roll down his cheek.
Lilly turned to give him a hug and when they pulled apart Albus was standing there smiing at them.
"I wanted to give you something before you left again. Now keep in mind this is extreamly illegal, dangerous, and something I would expect from you." Sirius gave a snort as a smile tugged at his lips. "I thought you might be happier not having to be on the run all the time. I came across this idenity potion in my closet and thought it would be perfect." He held out a case that supposedly had this potion in it and walked off.
"Thank you." Sirius said and smiled as Albus called back over his shoulder, "Anytime, old friend. Anytime."
Sirius took a deep breath and looked to Hermione. With a final goodbye to James and Lilly they walked into the portal that woud take them back to their time.

With a thud they landed in front of the fireplace in Sirius home. Sirius walked to the bed in his room and sat down, opening the black case he carried. Hermione came to sit next to him as he pulled out a letter and read the contents aloud.
"Dear Hermione and Sirius,
The potion I have given to you is very dangerous since it is so unpredictable. It is not easily controlled and you have to be extreamly focused in order to achieve the desired effect. This potion will allow you to assume a new idenity. Of course it would be wise if you remained a Black since it would be easier to come by records for you and the fact that you would not have to change your blood (A trying and pain filled task, I assure you). All you have to do is concentrate on the details of your new idenity. Your age, appearence (Height, weight, coloring, ect.), and name. Remember, the choice to take this potion or not is yours, and yours alone. Be wise.
Your friend, Albus Dumbledore"
Sirius looked to Hermione and she smiled at him. "The choice is yours. What do you want to do?"
"I want to be happy with you. If the only way I can live a life free of accusations is in this bottle then so be it."
Hermiones smile widened and she jumped up and hugged him. "I'm so excited!" Sirius laughed and hugged her back. They spent the next hour going over details of who he would be and just talking and making jokes.
"Maybe I'll be a big, overweight bully!"
"With glasses and bleached hair!"
"And I'll go around saying, 'Uhhh, wha?' all day long!"
They both laughed at the menta image they got and set on another idea.
"You could be the dashing hero named Jack Sparrow!"
"As long as I get the hat and the ship you got a deal."
They continued on until they actualy got serious and went with James Sirius Black, the epitome of tall, dark, and handsom with a mysterious twist. Now 24, he was home schooled and spent the last five years of his life helping his friend Charlie out in Romania. He left his little fan club of girls back home in America and found the love of his life while traveling.
Sirius concentrated hard on the mental image of his new idenity and the information he had come up with (with some help from Hermione of course). He gulped down the potion and winced as it left a burning trail where it slid down his throat.
Hermione watched, entranced, as he fell to his knees, his hair becomng shorter and darker, his eyes turning a deep blue, his body taking on a shorter and younger frame. With a flash of light he could stand again. The pain slowly faded to the back of his mind as his transformation was complete. He stood up slowly, getting use to his new body and 'memories' in the back of his mind.
He grinned suddenly, taking Hermiones breath away. He looked just like he did in the photo she had seen from James and Lilly's wedding. Sirius walked over to her, bringing her into his arms and swooping in for a kiss.
