Summary - Ok in the last chapter Hermione went back in time to the time of the Marauders. She meets the Marauders and Lily and gives them something to think about..
~*~*~*~*~
Flashes of colour surrounded a small figure sprawled on the ground. The person was unconcious. Screams filled the air as a group of people dressed all in black and wearing white masks entered the room, led by a tall dark wizard. He smiled evilly and raised his wand.
'Avada Kedavra...'
Hermione woke with a gasp, drenched in cold sweat. His high, cold laugh still echoed inside her head. She started shivering uncontrollably in her bed. Someone near her shifted in their bed and let out a loud yawn.
'Hermione is that you? Are you alright?' Lily asked sleepily.
'Y-yes. It's m-me. I-I-I j-just had a b-b-bad dream...' Hermione stuttered quietly. She knew it sounded pathetic, but the dream had scared her. It was also the second time she had had it. Hermione heard Lily move in her bed. A few seconds later, Lily was standing over her.
'Do you want to talk Hermione?' Lily asked her. Hermione looked up at the dark figure standing over her. It was still very dark in the room, and she couldn't see Lily properly. She had no idea of what the time was, but she knew it must have been very early in the morning, or very late at night.
'Y-Y-Yes,' Hermione said quietly. Lily sat down on the bed next to Hermione and drew the curtains on her four poster shut. Lily pulled her wand out of her dressing gown and quietly cast a silencing charm on Hermione's bed so they didn't bother anyone else in the room. Then she cast some sort of lighting spell on the bed, and a faint light appeared in the four poster.
'Whats up Hermione?' Lily asked. Hermione burst into tears, and buried her head in her lap. Lily grabbed onto Hermione's shaking hands.
'Hermione? What's wrong?' Lily said alarmed slightly by Hermione's sudden outburst. Lily put her arm around Hermione's shoulders.
'I-It's nothing really. I-I keep having this dream. I've only h-had it twice, but this t-time, I saw m-more than I had the f-first time,' Hermione said, only stuttering slightly now.
'And what happens in this dream?' Lily asked her.
'Well there is a small person laying unconcious on the floor is surrounded by flashes of light. Then these people dressed in black and wearing white masks burst through one of the walls, led by a man without a mask. He smiles wickedly and then he-he...' Hermione trailed off, sobbing into her arms.
'He what Hermione? What does he do?' Lily said, suddenly becoming quite alert. Hermione looked up at her with surprise.
'Why is Lily so concerned about this? It's just a dream!' Hermione thought.
'He kills someone. He uses the killing curse,' Hermione said softly, staring down at her feet. Lily's silence made Hermione nervous, but Hermione didn't say anything.
'Hermione, did you happen to do any Divination at your last school?' Lily asked.
'Yes, but I don't like it! Divination is a whole load of rubbish! It's not possible to predict the future,' Hermione said flatly. 'Not unless you've been there.' She thought miserably. Lily seemed to think that now wasn't a good time to talk about Divination with Hermione. Hermione was clearly freaked out by her dream.
'I should be helping her, not questioning her!' Lily scolded herself mentally.
'Are you alright now Hermione?' Lily asked her.
'Well, I still feel a little shaky...' Hermione trailed off.
'Well how bout we go sit down in the Common Room near the fire, get you warmed up, and we can talk,' Lily suggested. Hermione looked up at her.
'Lily is so nice. I wish there were more people like her in the world...' Hermione thought.
'Sure, I'd love to. Thanks Lily,' Hermione said. Lily just smiled. Hermione slowly stood up and started to follow Lily out of the room. She looked out the window to see that it was a full moon. The light shone through the window, only showing parts of the room. She followed Lily down the staircase and into the Common Room. One thing they weren't expecting were other Gryffindors to be down there. But James, Sirius, Remus and Peter were all there, sitting on the red sofas by the warm fire. They all looked up as Lily and Hermione approached.
'Bit early for you to be up, ain't it Lilz?' James asked Lily, a surprised look on his face.
'Hermione had a dream, so we came down here to talk. What time is it anyway?' Lily asked changing the subject.
'Just after three,' Remus replied. Lily say down on one of the sofas, but Hermione didn't budge. She was staring at Remus. Remus caught her staring at him so she quickly looked away. She walked slowly over to one of the windows, and gazed at the moon. It was definitely full. 'So how come-' Hermione thought, looking back at Remus.
'What's wrong Hermione?' Sirius asked her. She turned her head back to the moon. There was no doubt about it. It was full.
'The moons nice tonight,' Hermione answered, without turning away from the window. 'It's a full moon, isn't it?' She added, turning to Remus, trying not to look too curious. It worked.
'Suppose so,' Remus muttered. He didn't look anything like the Remus in her time. Remus in her time was always sick and pale. The Remus sitting in front of her looked like a very healthy young boy.
'Full moon. It's the full moon. Why isn't he a werewolf?' Hermione thought, becoming frustrated. She was extremely confused. She studied each one of their faces, looking for a trace of anything that might show her what she wasn't understanding. But she found nothing.
'So what are you guys doing up at this hour?' Hermione asked, giving up on the werewolf case. They exchanged mischievious looks.
'Well after you left, we started planning ways to prank Slytherin's. We've been planning all night. Its going to be so funny! We're going to be doing it at breakfast.' Sirius replied, grinning from ear to ear.
'What are you going to do to them?' Hermione asked curiously. She thought that the Slytherin's all deserved to get pranked and embarassed infront of the whole school. Most of them would become death eaters in a few years, and she knew that for a fact.
'Ah, you'll have to wait and see. It's gonna be one of the best pranks we have ever pulled!' James added. They all looked as thought Christmas had come early.
'Oh come on! You have to tell us! That's just unfair!' Lily said.
'No. You will have to wait like everyone else at Hogwarts until breakfast. You should feel special that we told you we are doing something!' Sirius teased. Lily and Hermione gave up on trying to get anything out of them.
'So is it all planned?' Hermione asked them.
'Almost,' James answered.
'Is there anything you need me and Hermione to do?' Lily asked hopefully.
'Actually I think there is. Ok this is what you have to do...'
~*~*~*~*~*~
The Marauders, Lily and Hermione walked into the Great Hall that morning for breakfast. All were tired from barely any sleep, but they didn't let that put them down. They had been preparing themselves for the best prank Hogwarts would ever see. Everyone turned their heads towards them as they walked to their table. They had planned to come earlier, just to make sure that everything was going to work. They all whispered amongst themselves whilst waiting for the Slytherin's to enter. Sirius was just telling them that he couldn't wait to see the look ok Snape's face, when the Slytherin's entered the Great Hall. The Marauders, Lily and Hermione silently exchanged mischevious glances before looking back at the Slytherin's who were now sitting at their table looking smug as usual.
'Three... two... one...' Hermione didn't need Sirius to whisper a count down, and neither did any one else in the Great Hall. Suddenly, the Slytherin table erupted with noise. The table and chairs began to fly around the room, the Slytherin's with them. The Slytherin's yelled and screamed, tried to stop themselves from flying by tapping their wands on different objects but nothing worked. Plates, knives, forks and food scattered the floor of Great Hall, falling from the tables. Snape was hanging onto his chair for his life, while the chair was trying to buck him off in the air. The more he screamed, the more the chair bucked. Suddenly a plate of food came flying out of no where and hit him right on his face causing him to let go of his chair and fall through the air. Everyone gasped as he landed with a sickening crunch on the staff table. The tables, chairs and plates suddenly stopped in mid air and fell to the ground. The Slytherin's screamed as they fell to the ground. The Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs, Ravenclaws and the staff all stood up from their seats and stared wide-eyed at the mess on the floor. The Slytherin table had been broken in half, the two ends had been thrown on opposite sides of the room. Plates, food, knives and forks scattered the floor and tables. The Slytherin's were sprawled all over the floor, not moving.
'Good one Prongs. You've killed all the Slytherins!' Sirius whispered.
'Me? It was your idea!' James retorted.
'I wasn't the only one! Remus and Peter were in on it too!' Sirius said, a little more loudly this time.
'Hey, don't forget about Lily and Hermione! They helped!' Remus replied. Now, everyone in the hall was looking at them all arguing about who had killed all the Slytherin's.
'Hey don't bring us into this!' Lily said.
'Yeah! It's not like we thought of it! You asked for our help!' Hermione said.
'Yeah and you agreed! You could of just said no! But you didn't! Your in this as much as we are!' Sirius yelled at Hermione and Lily.
'Yeah!' Remus, James and Peter said in unison. They continued to yell at each other while being taken to Dumbledore's office by Professor McGonagall. Even after McGonagall had left them in the Headmasters office telling them to wait there until she and Dumbledore returned, they continued to decide who was the most responsible for the Slytherin's deaths.
'Maybe we should of just made the table fly,' Peter suggested.
'Yeah, but then it wouldn't of been very funny would it?' Sirius snapped, becoming annoyed.
'Well it wasn't very funny anyway. I mean, we just killed all the Slytherin's,' Remus said. Everyone paused for a moment, not saying a word. Then they all burst out laughing.
'It was pretty funny, wasn't it!' James said between laughs.
'Yeah! Looks like Snape broke a few bones. Maybe he will have permanent damage!' Sirius laughed.
'Nah, Madam Pomfrey can fix everything!' Hermione added, not realising what she had said.
'Yeah, she can! Hey, how did you know that? You've only been here for a day,' Sirius asked her. They all went silent again, waiting for Hermione's answer. Hermione hesitated. She couldn't tell them. She promised Dumbledore she wouldn't. But they would probably be getting expelled right now, so she decided to tell them. They listened intently as she told them everything. How she had gotten here, where she had come from, how she knew Dumbledore, McGonagall and Madam Pomfrey. She had managed to tell them everything, leaving out Lily, James and Sirius' death, Harry, and Peter's betrayal. They all stared at her in disbelief.
'Well... that would explain a few things,' James said slowly, breaking the long silence.
'Yeah,' Sirius said. Hermione looked at them all. Yes, she had made the right choice. She could trust these people. She knew these people.
'So-So... Your from the future. And your stuck here because your time turner broke. And-And you know us in the future? You know who we are? Personally?' Sirius asked.
'Well yes. I-I...' She hesitated, not knowing if she should tell them about Harry. She decided she would trust them. 'I'm friends with your son.' Hermione said quickly, looking at James. James stared at her wide-eyed.
'I have a son?' James asked. 'What's his name? And who'd I have him with?' Again, Hermione hesitated. She didn't want to change everything in the past... and the future. But it didn't look like she'd get back any time soon. 'Besides, how much can change from telling a few people of the future?' She thought.
'His names Harry. You had him with your wife,' Hermione said hesitantly, still not sure whether she should tell him about Lily.
'Harry... Well what about my wife? Who is the lucky lady?' James said, smirking.
'Ah... Well... 'Hermione hesiated, trying to find the right words to say, 'She's in this room.' Everyone stared at Lily and James, who were both blushing furiously. But there was no time for any more questions. The door flew open and inside stepped Dumbledore and McGonagall. They weren't looking happy. Dumbledore and McGonagall sat down gehind the desk.
'Sit down,' Dumbledore said, forcefully. They sat down immediately and looked at the floor.
'What were you thinking? You could of killed them! Some of them, including Mr Snape, have serious wounds! I have expelled students for things not nearly as bad as this!' They flinched as McGonagall's spine-chilling voice echoed through Dumbledore's office.
'Explain yourselves!'
'Well you see-'
'It was just-' Sirius and James said at the same time. Both looked at each other, and without saying another word, stared at the ground.
'One at a time boys,' McGonagall said sternly, narrowing her eyes.
'It was just a harmless prank Professor. We didn't mean to hurt anyone! It was just a joke!' James continued, trying hard not to look at Sirius for the fear that he might crack up.
'Yeah we didn't mean it! Honest Professor!' Sirius protested.
'Really Professor. We weren't intending on hurting any of the Slytherin's. The prank went slightly... wrong,' Remus said slowly.
'So what exactly did you intended to do to them Remus?' McGonagall asked frowning.
'Ahh - well, we were - we just, we were only going to-'
'What I think Remus means Professor is that it was purely an accident and that the spell that we used didn't quite work the way we meant it to. Right Remus?' Sirius said, quickly filling in for Remus. Remus gave him a quick smile and then nodded.
'Yeah, that's right,' Remus said. McGonagall looked at both of the suspiciously.
'What do you think Albus?' McGonagall said, turning to Dumbledore.
'Well, I'd say that these boys, and girls, are speaking the truth Minerva.' McGonagall's jaw dropped. 'But they will still serve punishment for it.' Dumbledore turned to the Marauders, Lily and Hermione, 'You will have detention everynight for a week,' Dumbledore said calmly. Their faces lit up. 'Though I must warn you. If you do anymore pranks like that one you pulled before, I will have no choice but to expell you. Please wait for further information of the time and place of your detention. You may go back to Gryffindor Tower now.' With that, the Marauders, Lily and Hermione left Dumbledores office feeling as if they were the luckiest people alive.
'I so thought we were going to get expelled before!' James exclaimed.
'I know, McGonagall was fuming!' Sirius laughed.
'I just can't believe we only got a weeks worth of detention,' Remus said, clearly surprised that their punishment wasn't very extreme.
'Yeah I know. I wonder who we will have to do them with,' Hermione wondered.
'Hopefully not McGonagall. I swear, I thought she was going to hit me!' Sirius exclaimed.
'Yeah, McGonagall wouldn't be a good one to have detention with,' Lily said.
'I just thought of something! What if she splits us up? What if we all have to do separate detentions?' James asked with a worried face. Everyone else began to worry too.
'That would suck,' Sirius said.
'I doubt whether we would all get separate detentions. I mean, how are they going to find six different teachers by tomorrow that actually want to do the detention with us? What are the possibilities?' Hermione asked, not worried about it at all.
'I hope your right Hermione,' Sirius said, dreading the next day.

'He what Hermione? What does he do?' Lily said, suddenly becoming quite alert. Hermione looked up at her with surprise.
'Why is Lily so concerned about this? It's just a dream!' Hermione thought.
'He kills someone. He uses the killing curse,' Hermione said softly, staring down at her feet. Lily's silence made Hermione nervous, but Hermione didn't say anything.
'Hermione, did you happen to do any Divination at your last school?' Lily asked.
'Yes, but I don't like it! Divination is a whole load of rubbish! It's not possible to predict the future,' Hermione said flatly. 'Not unless you've been there.' She thought miserably.

'Well how bout we go sit down in the Common Room near the fire, get you warmed up, and we can talk,' Lily suggested. Hermione looked up at her.
'Lily is so nice. I wish there were more people like her in the world...' Hermione thought.
'Sure, I'd love to. Thanks Lily,' Hermione said. Lily just smiled. Hermione slowly stood up and started to follow Lily out of the room. She looked out the window to see that it was a full moon. The light shone through the window, only showing parts of the room. She followed Lily down the staircase and into the Common Room.

'What's wrong Hermione?' Sirius asked her. She turned her head back to the moon. There was no doubt about it. It was full.
'The moons nice tonight,' Hermione answered, without turning away from the window. 'It's a full moon, isn't it?' She added, turning to Remus, trying not to look too curious. It worked.

'So is it all planned?' Hermione asked them.
'Almost,' James answered.
'Is there anything you need me and Hermione to do?' Lily asked hopefully.
'Actually I think there is. Ok this is what you have to do...'
~*~*~*~*~*~
The Marauders, Lily and Hermione walked into the Great Hall that morning for breakfast. All were tired from barely any sleep, but they didn't let that put them down. They had been preparing themselves for the best prank Hogwarts would ever see. Everyone turned their heads towards them as they walked to their table.

'Three... two... one...' Hermione didn't need Sirius to whisper a count down, and neither did any one else in the Great Hall. Suddenly, the Slytherin table erupted with noise. The table and chairs began to fly around the room, the Slytherin's with them. The Slytherin's yelled and screamed, tried to stop themselves from flying by tapping their wands on different objects but nothing worked. Plates, knives, forks and food scattered the floor of Great Hall, falling from the tables. Snape was hanging onto his chair for his life, while the chair was trying to buck him off in the air.

'Sit down,' Dumbledore said, forcefully. They sat down immediately and looked at the floor.
'What were you thinking? You could of killed them! Some of them, including Mr Snape, have serious wounds! I have expelled students for things not nearly as bad as this!' They flinched as McGonagall's spine-chilling voice echoed through Dumbledore's office.
'Explain yourselves!'
'Well you see-'
'It was just-' Sirius and James said at the same time. Both looked at each other, and without saying another word, stared at the ground.
'One at a time boys,' McGonagall said sternly, narrowing her eyes.
'It was just a harmless prank Professor. We didn't mean to hurt anyone! It was just a joke!' James continued, trying hard not to look at Sirius for the fear that he might crack up.
'Yeah we didn't mean it! Honest Professor!' Sirius protested.
'Really Professor. We weren't intending on hurting any of the Slytherin's. The prank went slightly... wrong,' Remus said slowly.
'So what exactly did you intended to do to them Remus?' McGonagall asked frowning.
'Ahh - well, we were - we just, we were only going to-'
'What I think Remus means Professor is that it was purely an accident and that the spell that we used didn't quite work the way we meant it to. Right Remus?' Sirius said, quickly filling in for Remus. Remus gave him a quick smile and then nodded.
'Yeah, that's right,' Remus said. McGonagall looked at both of the suspiciously.
'What do you think Albus?' McGonagall said, turning to Dumbledore.
'Well, I'd say that these boys, and girls, are speaking the truth Minerva.' McGonagall's jaw dropped. 'But they will still serve punishment for it.' Dumbledore turned to the Marauders, Lily and Hermione, 'You will have detention everynight for a week,' Dumbledore said calmly. Their faces lit up. 'Though I must warn you. If you do anymore pranks like that one you pulled before, I will have no choice but to expell you. Please wait for further information of the time and place of your detention. You may go back to Gryffindor Tower now.' With that, the Marauders, Lily and Hermione left Dumbledores office feeling as if they were the luckiest people alive.
'I so thought we were going to get expelled before!' James exclaimed.
'I know, McGonagall was fuming!' Sirius laughed.
'I just can't believe we only got a weeks worth of detention,' Remus said, clearly surprised that their punishment wasn't very extreme.
'Yeah I know. I wonder who we will have to do them with,' Hermione wondered.
'Hopefully not McGonagall. I swear, I thought she was going to hit me!' Sirius exclaimed.
'Yeah, McGonagall wouldn't be a good one to have detention with,' Lily said.
'I just thought of something! What if she splits us up? What if we all have to do separate detentions?' James asked with a worried face. Everyone else began to worry too.
'That would suck,' Sirius said.
'I doubt whether we would all get separate detentions. I mean, how are they going to find six different teachers by tomorrow that actually want to do the detention with us? What are the possibilities?' Hermione asked, not worried about it at all.
'I hope your right Hermione,' Sirius said, dreading the next day.
