It was early in the morning when Hermione finally went up to bed. It had been the best night of her life. Now, however, she had more... urgent matters.

Just as she thought, Amanda Moonbeam was sitting cross legged on her bed, looking straight at her. "You wanted to speak with me?"

"Yes," Hermione nodded, "What did you do with Pettigrew?"

"Hermione.... You already know. So, why ask again?"

Hermione sighed, "Just checking.... But... how did you do it?"

"I ate him."

"How?"

"Simple. Stuck him in my mouth, chewed, and swallowed."

"No, no... I mean, how did you manage to, in human form?"

"I wasn't in human form."

"But, even if you were in an animagus-"

"I wasn't in that form either." A grin settled on her lips.

"Then how?"

"I have this interesting... ability, you see." Amanda started, "It all started with a potion gone awry, but that, my dear, is a different story. I have the ability to transform into my werewolf shape whenever I feel like it."

"Oh."

Amanda went back to whatever it was she had been doing before Hermione arrived, which appeared to be writing on the back of a photograph...

Hermione looked over at the Great Hall entrance as the doors burst open, revealing a very... angry... looking Minister of Magic. His anger was well placed. Whoever (cough Amanda cough) had played around with his appearance before had done so again... only worse.

His hair was now a bright pink, and spiked. His robes had a bright yellow and green (yeah, Packer colors!!!) polka dots design, and now his skin was a very deep blue. He looked like a smurf on drugs.

This time he didn't bother going to Dumbledore, he went right towards Amanda.

"You!!!" He hissed.

"Hi there." Amanda smiled.

"You did this to me, you... you... Damned werewolf!!!"

Amanda cocked an eyebrow at him, "As much as I love your flattery, Fudge, you have no proof that I snuck out past curfew, went into your rooms, tampered with your already horrible looking face and clothes, and then snuck out again. No proof at all."

"I know you did it!!!"

"Prooooooove iiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!" Amanda sang, turning away humming brightly.

Seething, he turned and stomped out of the Great Hall.

"He's gonna kill us you know." Lacey said brightly, sipping smuggled Starbucks coffee.

"Oh, yes. At least he'll try to."

"Of course, we were trained to handle such morons."

"But of course! Cheers!"

Amanda and Lacey gently banged their Styrofoam cups together.

The hall went quiet as a frowning Dumbledore stood up.

"I have an announcement. Mr. Peter Pettigrew has gone missing. He was last seen retiring to his dormitories last night, before the ball. Until he is found, or at least heard from, I insist you tell no one, we don't want the press swimming over Hogwarts. Thank You."

Murmurs filled the Great Hall.

"He's missing! I wonder where he went..." Lacey blinked, sipping her coffee.

"Oh no!! Someone must find him! Oh, someone help!" Amanda cried, with all the enthusiasm of Willy Wonka.

Hermione shrugged, "Maybe he ran off. He was always complaining about how hard it was for him at school. Maybe the pressure ate him up."

Amanda nodded in agreement, "Yes, ate him up."

At that moment, Lola Lovett came screeching into the great Hall. Everyone gasped. The once beautiful whore was no more. She was now bald, with bright pink spirals around her head. Her skin was a sickly yellow green, and her robes nearly drowned her. Her face, though, was the worst. It was done in the makeup of a clown.

"You did this to meeeeeeee!" she shrieked at Amanda.

"Lola, love. Please don't blame me for your waking up on the very wrong side of the bed."

"I know you did this Werewolf!!!"

"Prove it, Lovett."

"When I'm through with you!!! You'll be-"

"Sorry? No, I don't think so."

Angry, she stomped away.

"Wow, two people in one day. I'm impressed." James said nodding.

"Why didn't they just do a counter spell?" Remus frowned.

Amanda gave him a catty smile, "Because, Remus love, we spelled our... tools... so they couldn't be spelled off. They need to be removed the old fashion way."

"So it was you?" Sirius grinned.

"Prove it." Amanda and Lacey chirped, sipping coffee.

"There she is!!!"

Amanda and Lacey spit out their coffee and turned to look at the doors. Fudge was standing there with people in black suits. The both looked like buff, mean ass body builders and mutated rejects from the M.I.B.

"Fuck."

"Double Fuck." Lacey agreed.

"Amanda Moonbeam and Lacey Foxtrot. Told you we'd find you." One of the suits grinned.

"Well." Amanda chirped, "There is a vast difference between finding and catching you know."

"Yes. A vast difference." Lacey agreed pulling out two playing cards- two Aces of spades. Throwing them down, a great black cloud of smoke rose.

Then they were gone.

"Damn it! Find them now!!!" The suit barked at the other two, who nodded. The three suits and Fudge rushed out of the Great Hall.

Hermione noted something on Amanda's chair. It was a photo, of herself and Sirius kissing in the snow. Blinking she picked it up and looked on the back.

Hey!
By now your probably wondering, what the HELL is going on?
Well, we'll tell you!
You see, we're escaped/expelled student from DragonFang, about, oh... 30 years in the future. We "borrowed" a time creeper on our way out, you met him I believe, looks like a Dementor, sends ppl back in time, blah blah blah...
Anyway, we were sent, like you, to change events.... blah blah blah... You get the idea? Yes? Good!
Anyway, we're just going to the Shrieking Shack- don't bother yourself, we'll be long gone by the time you get there- to pick up Bathos- he's our time creeper. You won't see us again for another- hold on I have to ask Lacey- four years or so!
Love you, see you in four years!
Behave Remus!!! :)
Bye!!!
Amanda Moonbeam
and Lacey Foxtrot
p.s- Lacey sends her love to Snapey-poo... :)
p.s2- tell Lovett to keep her paws off Remus- he's MINE!!!

Hermione shook her head in amazement. That would explain a lot... Kind of...

Three years later

Lily and James said "I do" and the wedding ceremony continued as usual. Hermione, however, wasn't quite as happy.... She whished her old friends could have been there to see it....

As she followed the Bride and Groom out into the church yard, something caught her eyes. It was... a photograph?

She gawked at the beautiful picture of Lily and James standing next tot he alter, holding hands... Turning it over, she noted the reading.

Hey, Herms!!!

Sorry we couldn't stay and chit chat, but, yah know, the suits are still after us and stuff. lol. Like they'll ever catch us. Ha!!!

Anyway, tell Lils and Jamie-kins happy marriage!

Be good! :)

Shadow and Moona

p.s- Shads send her love to Snapey-poo

p.s2- keep Lovett's hand OFF MY MAN!!!

Hermione looked over to where Remus was trying, unsuccessfully, to dislodge Lovett from his arm. She couldn't help but laugh as she walked over to them.

one more year later (four in total)

Hermione stared at Sirius, as he frowned at her.

"Well, do you take this man to be your husband?"

"I can't..." Hermione whispered..
