"I figured that because that would be the only bloody way I'd be able to see one of my best friend's parents!" Hermione yelled. "Do you know a way I can get back?"

Dumbledore thought for a second, "What was your name again?"

"Hermione Granger." Was all she said.

"Well Miss Granger, I haven't an answer yet. But until I do you will need to take classes, do work, and be sorted."

Hermione could feel the tears yet again flooding into her eyes. "I was a Gryffindor."

"You can stay in that house if you want." Dumbledore said with his twinkle in his eyes. "But do I have to say that you cannot say anything that will change the future anymore."

"I wont I promise, I know all about that. But that was you that told me before also." Hermione stated. "Thank you though."

Dumbledore then said, "Well I will get my head girl to come and show you to your rooms. I see that you have a head girl badge, but I'm afraid that you can't be one at this time."

"I completely understand, and I was hoping that I wouldn't have to be head girl, there are people in Gryffindor at this time I want to meet." She said with a smile.

"The head girl name is Lily Evans. She is waiting outside the door. But you will have to make a back-up story. Also before you leave I will send you your class schedule." Dumbledore said as Hermione left.

"You must be Lily. The headmaster said that you would show me to the Gryffindor tower." Hermione said as you shook Lily's hand.

"Yes I am Lily Evans. And what is your name again?"

"Hermione Granger, Year 7. Brightest witch at my old school."

"Yes, well I see I have some competition this year! But I have to say that I feel bad for you now." Lily said.

"Why is that?"

"You'll be the only girl in the dorms in Gryffindor. I'm a Gryffindor also, but because I'm head girl and I get my own dorm room without any racket."

"That sound kind of nice, at my old school, I shared a dorm with these two girls that would never just shut up. They would always talk and never let me sleep or study in peace. Then I'd try to go into the common room and then my two best friends Harry and Ron would nag about me studying so much. The just don't understand that I study so much because I feel I need to prove myself as strong to other people because I'm muggle-born." Hermione said feeling completely safe telling Lily this.

"Wow. I can relate. I am to a muggle-born. Is that why you did the stunning spell when you heard Snape calling me a Mudblood?"

"Yes." She said but she wanted to say that Harry would kill her if she didn't.

"Thank you, but I think nothing of being called one. I have a question though, where did you go to school before?"

"Salem Witches and Wizard Academy in America." Hermione said the first thing that came to mind.

"Why do you have a British accent then?"

"I live in England with my parents when I'm not at school."

"Oh that's good."

"Yeah, but earlier you said you felt bad for me being the only girl in the dorms, what did you mean?"

"Well, the Marauders, which is James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, and Remus Lupin. They have a love of pulling pranks, and will torturing Severus. So when you're not in you dorms, or even in your dorms watch out."

"I think that I'll be able to handle them, they sound like some people that I know." Hermione said though she was laughing in her head.

"You'll probably won't be thinking that when they start pulling pranks on you. By the way we're here." Lily said before they walked in. "Fairy Pops."

The common room was quiet, that's strange. Hermione walked in and saw that it looked the same, dark wood flooring, the red rug that sat in front of the huge fireplace, the same sofa, and the same chairs. Then there was a boy with sandy blond hair ready a book. She figured out that that was probably a younger Remus Lupin.

"Remus, this is Hermione. Make sure she gets in ok. Or well the hexes and jinxes I know will come into play." Lily said.

"I will and you know it Lily. It's the other three well two you have to look out for."

"I know, that's why the same goes for them, they just won't have no warning."

"Ha ha. Very funny Lily." Came a voice that sounded familiar. Hermione looked to face Sirius. She felt another batch of tears when she fought the urge to go hug him.

"Lily, what do I own the pleasure of you being here?" Another boy that looked identical to Harry except he didn't have green eyes.

"James, I'm just bringing the new girl Hermione up here. And Sirius quit checking her out." Lily said as Hermione blushed. Hermione knew she changed, physically. She now had straight, shiny hair that came down to her hips. She has grown in various places and she knew that she was becoming somewhat pretty, she just didn't know that Sirius Black would be checking her out.

"Well what can I say? When I get around a beautiful girl I just can't help it." But it didn't come from Sirius it came from, James.
