Title: Love Found in Time

Summary: It's been 2 years since Sirius has died and 1 since Voldemort was destroyed. Nothing strange has happened at Hogwarts till now when Hermione's heart gets broken and she vanishes to another time. Will she fall for the Gryffandor sex god and save him in more than one way or will she be hurt in this time as much as her own?

Chapter 2: How do You Know?

In the Past:

The next morning Hermione woke up to find her self in the hospital wing. She sat up to look around and saw sitting in front of her bed Professor Dumbledore, a much younger Dumbledore at that.

"Aw Miss. Granger, you're finally awake. I was beginning to think that you would stay asleep all day." Dumbledore said in the same caring tone she had grown to know over the past 7 years.

"Professor, how is it that you know who I am, I mean, since I'm from the future and all?" Hermione asked. She knew the rules and drawbacks of the time turner and how if an individual went back in time they do not exist to the people they know in the future.

Dumbledore gave her that all knowing smile and pulled out an envelope from his robe and handed it to her, "You see Miss. Granger you are not the only one capable of using a time turner. In fact I had a nice little chat with my self last night about how well I am to run this school in the future. It was very intriguing." He reached back into his robes and pulled out a small brown paper bag and opened it, "May I offer you a lemon drop?"

She took the candy from him and asked, "Professor how did you manage to talk to yourself without going mad? There are countless stories of people who have seen themselves and gone mad from it. Even some that have killed themselves in the process of it." Hermione asked as she looked at the envelope in her hand afraid of what she might read.

"To a person with a well organized and ready mind to knowing anything in this world is possible, you are able to do a lot more than one might think. It was a risk for myself to come back but knowing that if I did go back in time I would not go mad as one might if they were to do the same and I was ok to do so by knowing I could. You would not be harmed if you opened that letter by the way Miss. Granger. I assure you that it is perfectly harmless." He replied with a smile making Hermione smile in return. She was a bit confused as she sorted through all the information Dumbledore had just gave her, but soon understood by what he meant and decided to open the letter he had given her.

Inside it read:

Hermione,

You may be wondering how I know that you have traveled back in time and why I would be contacting you like this. It is this simple Hermione; I was the one to leave the time turner for you in the right place and moment for the fact that you are there to save someone's life in more than one way. You are the brightest witch of your time and I feel that you will be able to figure this out without any trouble once it comes to you. I also understand why you yourself have decided to come back into time. I have taken the liberty of notifying your parents and Harry. They will only know that you are traveling back in time to complete a task and that you will be gone for about a year. I am most certain that Harry will figure out why you decided to go for yourself either while you are gone or when you return. You may not want to return to this time but I am sorry that you have no choice in the matter for if you stay there you can seriously destroy things in the future. Remember Miss. Granger that I am always here for you; in fact I am most likely sitting right in front of you at this very moment. I have let myself in the past know your history and all the classes you were taking and anything else I might need to know to help you out in anyway possible. Good luck with your task and your life.

Albus Dumbledore

PS: Do not judge a person simply on what they have done in there past but what they are capable of in the future.

Hermione folded up the letter and placed it on the table next to her bed. She now understood why she had found the time turner and all. She was so unsure of what she was to do about this task that she was to complete. To start with whom's life was she going to save and how would it be in more than one-way? As far as she knew you either kept someone from dieing or you let them die. It was as simple as that. She would figure this task out latter because right now she was ready to get out of bed and get in the swing of things in this time as she knew that they would be a bit different from what she was used to.

"Is there anything I can get or do for you Miss. Granger?" Dumbledore spoke as they both stood up.

"Yes there is, I was not able to bring any clothes to wear. Is there anyway that you could get me some?" She asked with a smile.

"Of course Miss. Granger. I shall also give you some gold to buy your school things and anything else you might need while you are here." He replied, "Oh and Miss. Granger I would recommend that you don't go and tell everyone how you got here or where you are from and if you decide to tell someone make sure you are sure that it would be wise to do. You may though, tell them that you have just transferred from a private school for witches in London. I will send one of our elves up with your things. Have a good day Miss. Granger." He finished with a smile and walked out of the infirmary. Of course the perfect story for that time. There were many witches who attend private girl only schools and it would work on anyone who wanted to know where she had come from. Then she wondered what she was going to do about the people who saw her arrive. She knew them some how but could not remember much of what she had seen so she set that in her mind to ask Dumbledore about who brought her here when she fainted as another question to ask.

Hermione looked around for the clothes that she had been wearing before she fainted. She saw them across the room on a chair. She was wearing a night dress that Madam Pomphery must have put on her and decided that it would be a good idea that she at least put her own clothes back on until she got her new ones. She walked over to her clothes and looked around to make sure that no one was around to see her change and got behind a curtain next to her. She took off the nightdress and was left in her red bra and thong as the door opened and someone came in.

"Hello..." Came a soft sexy voice Hermione knew belonged to a guy. It also sounded so familiar to her all at once. Then she realized that she still had hardly any clothes on and tried to dress herself before he found her and ended up falling over in the process of rushing to get dressed right in front of him. He gave the biggest smirk/smile she had seen and knew at once that it was none other than Sirius Black, "Well Good morning to you too luv. Couldn't wait till we properly meet could you?" He said in an amused voice.

"Sirius!" She exclaimed.

"So you already know my name do you, well then no need for introductions on my half, but who might I ask, are you?" He asked as he moved his eyes up and down her body as she tried to get up and hide behind the curtain without giving him too much of a show.

"I'm, ah... Hermione Granger. Now if you will excuse me please so I might get dressed so maybe we can talk more." She said while she quickly put her skirt and shirt on as he turned his back to the curtain.

She finished dressing and stepped out from behind the curtain and took a seat on her bed. She had on her blue robe and white blouse with a black skirt that went to the middle of her thigh, "So Sirius I guess I should tell you thanks for bringing me up here after I fainted and that I am sorry if I may have caused any trouble." She said very politely but in the back of her mind she was thinking about how sexy Sirius was at the age of 18. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans that hugged his butt just right and a snug white t-shirt that made his muscular stature show with much triumph. 'Hermione! This is Harry's godfather that you are thinking about, his extremely sexy and oh My GOD!'

Sirius gave her a look of pure amusement as he realized her fighting herself on whether to like him or not. He caught her raking her eyes up and down his body as she apologized and found it good to know that she did have some interest in him even if it was only lust, "So you think that you have caused trouble by being this beautiful angel that just appears out of know where? I hate to burst your bubble but that had been the best thing to happen to me in awhile." He smiled and winked at her.

"What a day of not getting shagged an eternity to you or something?" Hermione said sarcastically under her breath but he had heard.

"I beg your pardon Miss but you must have me confused with someone else for I am not one to shag every night." He said trying to cover his ass and look innocent.

"Oh please! Sirius Black not getting shagged or snogging in some manner every night! Huh if I am not mistaken you sometimes have even shagged five girls in one night." She said and giggled at his face expression he was giving her. It was a mixture of confusion and shock at this information she knew.

"Hey I was at a party and I had a few drinks, besides how in merlins beard do you know about that? You weren't there, were you?" He asked.

"No I have just been told so by a very, very reliable source I know." She said and thought to her self, 'yeah you yourself spilt the beans on that bit of information that one evening at Grimuald Place.'

"Ok then well let me start a new with you Hermione. I'm Sirius Lee Black, and I have shagged a lot of girls in my days here. I would like to get to know you better if you will be so kind as to let me do so." Sirius said in a sappy yet cute voice as he did a little bow in front of Hermione.

She giggled and stood up, "Sirius I am not about to become another little knoch on your bed post. I happen to care about my dignity unlike most of the girls you have probly had before. I will not shag you ever! Now thank you again for bringing me up here and excuse me for I need to speak with Professor Dumbledore about my lessons." Hermione said as she did a little curtsy and moved around Sirius toward the door. Before she could reach it he jumped in front of her.

"Sorry luv but if you say no already I am now forced to try and seduce you into liking me in that way. By the look on your face it looks as if I am already starting to break you down as it is." He said looking into her eyes and admiring how beautiful they were.

She blushed crimson and said, "Black the only way I would let you shag me is if the magical world was near extinction and we were the only ones able to save the magical world from dieing off, but besides that, never and I repeat never will you shag me!" She pointed her finger at his chest and walked around him out the door. Meanwhile in her head she doubted every word she said for she new that she was lying to herself and that she would shag him if he wasn't such a man whore.

Sirius smirked and said, "I wouldn't be so sure about that." and he walked off towards his first lesson.

Future:

Harry walked out of the bathroom with a towel rapped around his wet naked body at his hips. He was a treasure to look at, as he was no longer that skinny, not fed enough looking boy he once was. With the combination of quidditch and the war he started to form into a very sexy looking man.

His mind was racing from everything that Dumbledore had told him and why Hermione decided to leave like that without even talking with him about it. Why did she just go back without him by her side? 'Would you have talked to anyone if you had just went through what she had just gone through?' he asked himself in his mind. No he would have just raced off into the sunset without any help from anyone. The more he thought about how Hermione was going to have to tackle this task Dumbledore told him about, the more he worried. Whenever they ever had a problem here at school they had always saved the day together, and now she was alone without him and in some weird time.

"Hermione..." Harry said into the air as if she could him, "Why? Why can't I be there to help, why can't I do anything but sit and hope for the best while you are there struggling with this stupid task of mystery!" He continued talking to the air, "I understand that you were hurt and you felt betrayed but why?" Harry finished breaking down onto his bed crying as he had when Sirius had died that horrible night. Now he had lost his best friend in the world; the one who always knew what to do and what to say when he needed to talk to someone.

A knock came from Harry's door and shot up quickly dried his eyes and threw on some pants. The visitor knocked again as Harry made his way over to the door. Harry heard the visitor say, "Harry open up! We are going to be late for class if you don't hurry and stop trying to be a pretty boy!" Harry knew instantly that it was Ron and his rage of emotion rose through his body as though trying to kill him.

Harry threw open the door and grabbed Ron by the robe and threw him into his room, "Bloody hell Harry! Whatch-a' do that for?" Ron questioned and looked into his best mates eyes. He no longer saw the Harry he knew but the Harry he had only seen once when he was about to kill Voldemort, "Harry... are you feeling ok? Do you need to see Madam Pomphery or someone?" HE asked trying his best to get to the door to get away from Harry.

"Actually Weasley I have only one thing to ask you, why?" Harry starred his friend in the eyes and waited for him to answer.

"Why what Harry?" Ron asked. Harry decked him hard in the eye making him stumble back and almost fall down.

"Why did you do that to Hermione! Why did you make her leave and be alone! Why Weasley, WHY?" Harry yelled as Ron ducked another blow thrown toward him.

"I did nothing to Hermione! I would never do anything to her!" Ron yelled. This was the biggest lie Harry had ever heard and it made him snap.

"YOU CHEATED ON HER! SHE WAS HURT! YOU BROKE HER HEART MAKING HER GO AWAY LOOKING FOR SOMETHING YOU DENIED HER! SHE IS GONE BECAUSE OF YOU! SHE IS ALONE BECAUSE OF YOU! I HAVE LOST MY BEST FRIEND BECAUSE OF YOU!" Harry finished yelling and started beating Ron up getting a cut lip and a bruised side in the process. Compared to what he had done to Ron he was on the good side. Ron was in a heap on the floor face all bloody as he gasped for air to breath. Harry wiped the blood from his lip and walked out toward his first lesson leaving Ron to fend for himself.

His mind was racing with what he had just done and how he was going to handle Hermione not being there. He was upset on the fact that Hermione and him were going to miss out on graduating together like they had always talked about. They had, since the third year, talked about how all three of them putting some money together and moving into a place and live together. He knew that even if Hermione was here it would probly still be all three of them living together because Hermione could tolerate people even if she didn't really get along with them. He thought of the time that she had tolerated Malfoy for so long then finally snapped and decked him a good one. He chuckled and looked up to see that his feet had led him to Dumbledore's office. He new that he should talk with Dumbledore about Ron and his worries about Hermione. He never really had lust or any feeling like that toward her and he knew that what he was feeling toward her was just like a big brother might if he were to have lost a sister.

He walked up to the gargoyle and said the candy type password he used the night before to get in and went into Dumbledore's office where he saw no sign of Dumbledore but instead Fawkes.

"Hello Fawkes." Harry said heavily to the phoenix. The great golden bird fluttered down softly upon his shoulder as Harry started to pet his belly. Just then Harry heard a door open then close behind him and looked to see if Dumbledore had come back yet or not.

"Harry, I'm glad you are here. I was about send an owl to you so I could have a word. I see that I better watch out for you might just steal my phoenix away when I'm not looking for he seems to grow on you every time you come and speak with me." Dumbledore said, "Now I know that you must be here in order to talk with me about something other wise you would be down eating your mind out. So you first Mr. Potter, what is it that you want to speak with me about?"

"To be blunt sir, everything. Everything that is happening, that has happened, and that has changed! I feel so depressed, full of rage, angry, and sad since we have talked last night. I just can't seem to get over what you had told me and the fact that there is just nothing that I can do!" Harry explained as his eyes silently filled with another bout of tears wanting to break free from their prison.

"I understand Harry. I understand what you feel and what you are going through..." Dumbledore started but was cut off by Harry's yelling.

"YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I AM GOING THROUGH! YOU HAVE NEVER LOST YOUR BEST FRIEND THROUGH TIME AND KNOW THAT SHE HAS TO COMPLETE A TASK THAT SHE HAS NO IDEA ABOUT ALL BY HERSELF IN A TIME SHE KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT!" Harry exploded in Dumbledore's face yelling and crying at once. He was not ashamed that he was crying in front of anyone.

"Harry I know what you are going through for I lost my love in life to time by a task that she was chosen to do. At least with Hermione, Harry, you know she will come back and if all goes as planned she will be much better when she returns, much more happy and all." He explained in a calm voice as a single tear rolled down his cheek, "Now before you yell again we must talk about why you beat Ron up."

Harry sat there in silence for a moment before he spoke up about what he did to Ron, "I know that I shouldn't have beat him up but he just made me so mad and with all my emotions going high right now about Hermione it was just too much for me. I'm sorry sir, but in a way I really am not sorry about it because he did deserve what he got. You see Hermione and him were going out and yesterday we came to see her and Ron had this huge hickey on his neck meaning that he had cheated on her and they ended up breaking up. That's when she stood there in front of the doors and said something than disappeared into time. I was so upset that he could treat her like that, I mean, Hermione is such a nice woman, why would anyone ever want to hurt her and then he turns around and does that to her. If you could have seen the look on her face that hurt in her eyes, you would have wanted to strangle Ron right there." Harry explained.

Dumbledore nodded and stood up and walked over to the window and looked out it, "Harry, in life there are many things that will hurt you, Hermione, and Ron. You may not want them to happen but they will and there is nothing that you can do about it. Emotions are what we humans are made of, and there is really no way of protecting one's self from being hurt in that manner. It is the hardest thing to learn and accept in life to learn that no matter what you say or do you and your loved ones will be hurt in some way no matter what. It is not like protecting others and yourself from Voldemort where you can fight against that hurt and save people from it. Without emotion we are nothing and will be nothing."

Harry stood and walked over next to Dumbledore and said, "I understand what you mean. I hate being powerless and not being able to do anything but sit and watch, and the thing is with Hermione being back in time having to complete this task alone I feel that way, powerless and unable to do anything to help. To just sit and wait wondering if she is safe, happy, or even possibly in terrible trouble. Professor I love her like a brother would his sister and to know there is nothing I can do is tearing me up." Harry told him truthfully, "I just..." he started but could not find word to describe what he was feeling.

"I know Harry, there is no need to explain. I lost more that day then you would care to understand and feel. Emma and I had been lovers since we were in the 5th year. We had moved in together after school and we were planning on getting married the next day. She was called into the ministry where she was working in the floo network. They told me this, she had come in and was told about a task that they needed her to complete and she said yes, even knowing that it was for more than a year. They would not tell me what task she was to complete but that it was highly dangerous and that she had known at how risky it was to do it. My Emma would never have done that as they said and I knew that they were lying to cover their ass. I suspect that and I know that they had tricked her into going back and told her nothing. They would not tell me when in time she went back for they feared I would attempt to go and get her, and they were right to fear that for I would have if I would have gotten that chance. Anyways I got a black owl the next morning the day we were suppose to be getting married. She had been killed and there was nothing to be done, nothing. I was destroyed with the news. She was my love, soul mate, the woman I was meant to be with. She was taken from me unfairly and they would not admit it. We had a ceremony for her and her parents ended up dying of grief in about a month after. I myself was thrown into a deep depression and was close to killing my self for I didn't know what to do. I understand that things are hard to deal with and I understand what you are going through in much more emotion then you have thought." Dumbledore explained to Harry as they both sat back down. Dumbledore wiped the tears that were falling quietly down his face.

Harry was in shock of all this new information and felt guiltily for at Dumbledore before, "Professor I am sorry, I truly am. I just..." He started but Dumbledore put a hand up to stop him.

"Harry there is no need to say your sorry because, one you had never know what I have gone through and two you have no reason to feel bad for anything." He told Harry and said, "I am sorry Harry but your lessons are about to start and I think that you should be on your way. Remember Harry that I will be here if you ever need to talk and that Hermione is safe for I am there to help her at this very moment."

At this news Harry broke a huge smile on his face and stood and walked toward the door, "Thank you Professor." Harry walked out the door and to his lesson.
