IN THE PAST
The Great Hall was filling up with students for today was September 1st. The students were smiling and chatting with each other, trying to catch up on the events they missed. The teachers looked on at their students, some shook their heads knowing this will be one heck of a year and others just smiled calmly.
The Marauders walked in looking around at all the other students. Remus turned to James, Sirius, and Peter. "Isn't it great to be back?"
"Yep, Moony I can't wait to prank the new teacher, right Prongsie?" Sirius turned to James.
"Right Padfoot, I wonder who's going to be our first target of the year"
"I have no idea, Prongs who do you think will be the target of our first prank of the year"
"Why don't you think the slime ball Snape should be our first target"
"That's a great idea Prongs"
Remus just shook his head as he sat down with Sirius and James, discussing their plans for Snape. Looking next he noticed Peter was paler than he had been last year. 'I wonder what's up with him. He's very quiet this year'
It was about time to start the feast and there were two chairs still open at the teacher's table. Professor McGonagall was always open, but there was another space open then than hers. Professor McGonagall came in with the first year students, who looked terrified. Some of their eyes were glittering with amazement as they looked around, others just looked and marched on forwards.
The sorting ceremony began with Alcaster, Carrie sorted into Hufflepuff and ended with Zimmons, Brent sorted into Ravenclaw. Albus stood up and looked around. "Dig in everyone". He sat back down and began a conversation with Minerva. People were chatting and laughing.
"Hey, where's the new Defense teacher." Remus asked, as he watched his two friends stuff their faces. Peter shrugged, while Sirius and James looked back at Remus.
"No, idea" James said, then digging back into his food.
"Who knows" Sirius said following James.
The Great Hall's doors opened and everyone stared at the man who came in through the door. The man was trying to walk while tying his shoe, so mainly he was hopping. His black hair was untidy, but no one could see his face.
"Albus, I'm really sorry. I have a good explanation why I'm late" Harry looked up to Dumbledore and fixed his robes, while the student body was wondering who he was.
"Well, you see I decided to take a nap and I set my clock for 1 p.m. Well, it didn't wake me up until 4 p.m. So I went to the bathroom and the on the way out the door got stuck. I had left my wand in the room, so I was stuck in bathroom. Finally, I got out of there and got here… in… time…"
Looking around at all the students
"What are the students doing here so early my clock said it was only 6?" Just then at the end of his story noticing that the students were there.
"Well, apparently your clock was wrong. It is 8: 30 right now and you have had a fun day. Students meet your new Professor, Professor Knight."
The students stared at the young man. There was some clapping, but not a lot. Whispers floated through out the Hall. Was he really their Defense teacher? How good was he? Where was he from? He looked young to be a Defense teacher. Harry just looked back at them all and smiled.

IN THE FUTURE
"Well, Hermione how do you think I know where he is" Albus spoke trying to avoid the question.
"I know you know where he is, because he left to see you last night" Hermione sighed and sat down.
"Hermione he is somewhere where you can't talk to him" Albus said in a gentle voice. Standing up he walked over to Fawkes and started petting. It was always relaxing for him. He looked at the phoenix and then back at Hermione. "I'm sorry, but I can't tell you"
Hermione looked like she was going to explode. "Why can't you tell me? Ginny wants to know too. She's worried about Harry too." Looking at him to see if he had changed his mind, she looked in his eyes. The usual twinkling was there, but behind that was a hard rock wall. Nothing, she was going to get nothing from him right now.
"If I tell you where he is you'll want to see him, correct?"
"Well, yes but"
"If I tell you where he is you will have to wait to see him"
"Ok"
Hermione waited in anticipation for his answer, Ginny and Molly Weasley had been wondering where he had gone. Since he had just upped and disappeared one night they all had been wondering where he went.
"He is in the past"

Sorry about not having the Marauders big in this chapter and about it being so short. Yes, the person was revealed as Hermione and she now knows. This might be an H/Hr or just a friendship between the two I'm still not sure. You guys can vote on what you want I guess H/Hr, Harry and Hermione as friends, or H/G. Please review and let me know. Thank you everyone!
