Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Harry Potter characters, they all belong to J.K. Rowling although I do own the plot of this story.
Summary: A female figure appears in the Marauders' time suddenly with no explanation of how she got there and no background whatsoever…that fits in that time. She appears to them in a batter state of mind and throughout their seventh year, struggles to find a way to her original self and back to her original time. A seventeen year old Sirius Black takes it upon himself to help her.
WARNING: There will be a rape scene in the second chapter and then torture scenes in the later chapters! There will also be sex scenes later on in the chapters too, that is why it is rated R. Just wanted to let you know.
ANNOUNCEMENT: Sorry guys. I had a short case of writer's block and so I decided to skip the rape scene till later in chapter four. This chapter was extremely short for several reasons. One being that I didn't have any other idea other than this and also it's short but it gives a lot of information in it so beware. For those with weak constitutions, I suggest not reading this because it is vivid in description. I hope you guys like and I'll be updating Saturday cause that's when I get ungrounded from the computer.

Chapter Two
Hermione, my dear, I sense your presence within my mind. You are visiting me I see... How strange. The one thing you absolutely despise, you also want with all of your being... How intriguing. Beware, darling child, I shall come for you...I shall come for you and defile you in ways you never thought possible. The voice gave a malicious laugh that rang through Hermione's mind like tinkling bells ringing from a church and it was with a blood-curdling scream, she was shaken from her slumber.
Her hands were twisted into clawing holds as she gripped the crimson silk sheets beneath her. Eyes opened wide with fright, she laid there, her cries ringing through the Gryffindor tower as her body was once more wracked with pain. Agony spiraled through her like nothing she had ever felt before. It was worse then even that of the Crucatious Curse that brought on pain that felt like a thousand sweltering hot needles piercing through her body. Her back arched as she felt claws ripping through the lean tight muscles of her stomach. Blood stained the white T-shirt she wore as long deep gashes spread across her abdomen. Another scream of absolute anguish tore from her throat as her eyes widened further, her mouth twisted into a wide gaping hole on her face. Her skin was clammy and blotched as welts slowly began to form along her chest, stinging the sensitive flesh that covered her breasts. And as one last scream issued forth from the girl at feeling her core being intruded upon, the pain faded as quickly as it had come.
The she was sitting straight up in bed, her whole body convulsing as tears poured from her eyes and down her face, soaking into the bloodied linen she was dressed in. Her eyes stared into blackness as she stared at the canopy of her bed. There were long tears in the velvet draperies and she doubled over in sobs as pain raced through her, causing her body to give a shudder. The welts had turned to sweltering blisters that now hissed as they broke, their pores spewing forth-acidic liquid that ate through the thin cloth of her shirt. Grimacing she dragged herself across the bed and was sent tumbling down to the floor as she cried out in physical agony. Her hands clawed at the draperies and they were ripped from where they hung to circle about her in a cocoon as she lay on the ground writhing in pain.
The other girls had stirred abruptly from their own slumber as they yanked back their draperies to see what had happened. None was prepared for the sight that beheld their vision. Lily Evans, the head girl, felt vomit rising in her throat as she stared at the bleeding body of Hermione. Shock swept over her in crashing waves as she felt herself moving from her bed in slow motion and collapsing beside the weeping figure, her hand trembled greatly as she reached put to the Gryffindor. But no sooner had her fingertips caressed the rich velvet did Hermione let out another heart jolting agonized scream. Instantly she wrenched her hand away as the other girls crowded around, whispering, and their faces pale in the moonlight. They whispered amongst one another, their voices hushed to nothing more then a light wind as if scared they would cause the girl pain by talking too loudly. All of them stood indecisively, unsure of what to do to help the pain ridden teen.
And then she was once again screaming continuously as her whole body arched upward, her limbs flailing wildly as pain seared through her. The curtains were torn away from her body as she felt knives cutting through the skin upon her arms and whips lashing at her back, tearing away the skin in great chunks. Zig zagging paper-thin scratches began to web about the pale skin of her arms as she wailed. Blood slowly began to drip down the snowy white skin, staining it as she tumbled over onto her stomach. The back of her T-shirt had been shredded to pieces as they saw long thin lines that tore chunks of her back away form on her skin. Layers of skin hung in torn pieces from her back as blood also began to seep from the sickening wounds along her back. And then long cat like gashes were being ripped into the back of her curvy legs. As the scratches slowly traced the length of her legs, the scream that was tearing from her throat raised an octave until the girls about her were shying away, their hands flattened over their ears. Then the door was thrown open and all the girls turned to see Professor Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall standing frozen in the doorway.
Although McGonagall lingered in the doorway, her hands cupped over her mouth as she stared with saucer plate eyes at the figure on the ground, Dumbledore did not hesitate to approach her. He knelt beside her and gently touched her hair. And then the screams were silenced and Hermione's body fell still, convulsing one last time before she was sent tumbling into darkness. With a gentleness far greater then that he had ever used before, he turned the girl over and cradled her in his arms before standing. He turned to face McGonagall, the twinkle that had been in his eyes only the evening before gone as he said in a deadly whisper, "Contact the Order immediately. Tell them to report to my office as soon as possible." With those words said, he swept from the room.
McGonagall stood frozen, her whole body tense and unmoving like that of a statue as she watched him walk down the staircase and then disappear. Other girls had begun to poke their heads out of the other dormitories and the boys could be heard downstairs. The professor remained frozen though even when Lily approached her and gently laid a hand on the Transfiguration professor's shoulder. "Professor?" she asked tentatively.
The professor gave a muffled scream as she turned to face the vivid red head. "Lily!" She gave a sigh as she said, "All of you back to your beds. Do not worry about what you have seen here tonight. Hermione will be all right. But you all need to get to sleep so that you'll be awake during class tomorrow." With that said, the flustered professor turned and left the room, leaving Lily gaping after her.
Slowly the girls headed back to their beds and pulled the covers over their numb bodies. They did not fall into sleep though but lay awake silently, occasionally whispering back and forth. None could answer the question that loomed in their minds though.
How did this happen?
A/N: Thank you to all those who reviewed chapter one and the prologue. I really hope that you guys are enjoying the story and I'm sure you guys saw a very important key to the story in this chapter and if you didn't then I'll explain it later on, probably bout chapter 5 or so. And thank you to all those who warned me bout the rape scene. I realize that I'm gonna have to be very careful when going about writing it and if anything I'll get my beta to rank it on whether it's R rated or not. I don't want this story to get removed because it's gonna go somewhere I can feel it. Sorry to all those Sirius fans. I was gonna include him in this chapter but then I decided not to. He will be mentioned a lot in the next chapter though, I promise you that. Well night to yall! And don't forget to review, it misses being clicked. XD Hope you enjoy! Ciao!
