Of Werewolves, Animagi, and Evil Slytherin Bastards

***********************************************

The trio of time travelers walked up through the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor tables to the dais where the staff sat.

"Hi," started Hermione, with a grin, "As I'm sure you've already guessed I'm Hermione Granger, the redhead is Ron Weasley, yes Arthur and Molly's son, and," she pointed to Harry, "That is Harry, well, Potter, James Potter's son. And, no, we can't tell you who his mother is." She smiled at the students. "I will be joining Lily Evans and the rest of the sixth year Gryffindor girls in their dorm and Ron and Harry will joining the Marauders in theirs. We can't tell you much about the future, we can't tell you anything really. Yes, we do know some of you and, yes, we do know all the marauder's little secrets,"

Hermione smirked down at Snape and Lucius,

"But we won't tell. We don't know when we'll go home, either when they," she pointed back at the staff, "Can figure out how to send us back or when someone from our time comes to get us. Until then, we will be going to class and getting to know you all."

They walked down to the Gryffindor table where the marauders made room for them. Harry sat between James and Sirius, Hermione sat on Sirius' other side, while Ron sat across from her, next to Remus.

"So," said Sirius, "You said you know all of our secrets."

"Yep." Said Harry through his scrambled eggs.

"Which ones exactly?" Asked Remus with an odd look on his face.

"Hey, Remus?" Started Hermione, an odd little grin on her face, "When's the next full moon?"

Sirius choked.

"Ya ok there Padfoot?" Asked Ron.

It was James that choked this time.

"Oh for God's sake," Hermione had grown tired of this.

"Harry is your son James, your son, Sirius is his godfather, Remus and Peter are his uncles. How in the name of all that's holy would you have been able to keep that from him and why would you want to?"

"'Nuff said." Remus said with a grin.
Hermione smiled at him.

"So are you guys animagi too?" Asked James.

"I should think not!" Said Hermione in a loud, firm, voice.

"How the hell did I let my godson become best friends with a goody-goody know it all that rivals Lily?" Said Sirius under his breath.

Hermione, who'd been leaning across the table looking at Remus' homework, said "I heard that Paddy-boy."

Harry and Ron smirked.

"Paddy-boy?" Asked Sirius.

"Paddy-boy," said James, "I like that."

"Don't you dare Potter."

"Whatever you say, Padfoot, old friend."

It suddenly hit Remus and Peter just how Hermione had come up with that particular nickname and they started laughing softly.

Sirius shot them a look of pure venom.

"I think that's a record, Mione," said Harry looking at his watch.

"Record?" Asked Peter.

"Mm-hm." Said Ron, "How long it takes Hermione to get Sirius to get in touch with his Slytherin roots."

"I wish." Said a voice from behind them and all seven turned and saw Severus Snape, Lucius Malfoy, and Bellatrix and Narcissa Black.

"Oh joy." Said Ron

"Severus, Lucius, Bellatrix, Narcissa." Hermione said brightly, though the look in her eyes betrayed her feelings. "How are you?"

"You three are from the future, mm?" Asked Bellatrix.

"Which three? Where?" Asked Harry mockingly, looking around.

The look on Bellatrix's face was pure ice.

"What's up Bella?" Asked Hermione.

"Don't call me Bella."

"Bel-la."

"Bitch."

"Whore."

"Slut."

"Cunt."

For some reason Hermione's last remark offended Bellatrix and Narcissa so much they left, stomping back to the Slytherin table.

"Note to self" Muttered Ron.

Lucius and Severus looked scathingly at Hermione, "I see mudbloods really do know no manners." "Stupid as well." Said Severus and then Lucius.

"Stupid?" Asked Harry, Lucius smirked and nodded. "Then tell me Lucius," started Harry, "Why is it that Hermione is number one in the school, better than your son." That shut Lucius up real quick, Severus glared at Harry, "This isn't over Potter." "I don't doubt it."

And then as Lucius and Severus were walking away, "Snivellus."

Severus whirled around.

"Oh, Harry," sighed Hermione.

"I'll get you Potter."

"You'll try." Replied Harry and James at the exact same time.

"Potter, Weasley, Granger." McGonagall scared Severus off as she came up to the three time travelers to give them their schedules. "I expect you'll be in about the same places in your classes and if you're behind then Potter, Black, Lupin, and Pettigrew can help." "Sure Professor." Replied Hermione.

"Potions first." Groaned Harry.

"I take it Jacoby doesn't teach it in your time?"

"You have a nice potions master here?" Ron asked loudly with a hopeful look on his face, "Yeah." Answered Sirius, "He's really funny, a total goofball really. He was actually a Hufflepuff so he's kind of a hero to them."

"So what's so bad about your potions master?" Asked James. You don't wanna know." Said Hermione, Ron, and Harry at the same time. They got weird looks from all four marauders.

"Hi Hermione," said a feminine voice behind them and they all turned, "From what you said before I would guess that you already know me."

"You could say that," replied Hermione, the first to recover her voice, "You don't like them very much do you?" Asked Hermione, gesturing to the marauders.

"Not at all actually." Said James.

"Oo, look, Potter knows something after all." Said Lily, glaring at the Potter in question. Harry, Ron, and Hermione started laughing really hard and the marauders, plus Lily, looked at them.

"S-sorry." Said Hermione, still laughing.

"I guess they know something we don't." Said Remus, James brightened, "Maybe Lily finally goes out with me!" Lily blanched.

"Yeah, and maybe she's Harry's mother Prongs, sure."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione stopped laughing.
