"Hermione?" Hermione opened her eyes blearily and was greeted with the sight of Ron bending over her with an anxious expression on his face.
She blinked a few times and sat up. As she looked around, she realized that they were in the Entrance Hall.
"Ron? Why are we in the Entrance Hall?"
"I dunno. The last thing I remember is stepping on something and… Hey, where's Fred and George?"
Hermione looked around herself and caught sight of the twins.
"Over there."
"OY! Fred! George!" Ron called out to them.
The twins sat up quickly and looked around themselves. They looked at each other and blinked in confusion.
"Erm… what happened?"
"We were hoping you would know. After all, it was your prank." Ron said.
"What was the prank supposed to do?" Hermione asked them.
"Erm, I forgot…" George looked almost ashamed of his twin.
"What did the packages look like?"
Ron scrunched up his face in concentration. "Uh, there were two different kinds. One of them was purple with yellow stripes –"
"That one is supposed to make you sprout feathers." Fred interrupted.
" –and the other one was blue with green polka dots." Ron finished.
The twins froze.
"What?" Hermione asked, looking at them suspiciously.
"That prank hasn't been tested yet." George said worriedly.
"Oh no…" said Fred nervously.
"What? What do you mean 'oh no'?"
"Erm… The blue and green polka dotted one was a new idea that we came up with. It was supposed to make you travel back in time."
"Not too far back in time," Fred said quickly, catching the horrified look Hermione was giving them. "Just a minute or two.."
"At least, that's how it was supposed to work." George finished.
"I think we had better see Dumbledore about this," Hermione said uncertainly.
"Yeah, I mean, who knows how far we went back in the past. There were an awful lot of blue packages." Ron continued.
They all agreed and set off to see Dumbledore.
When the four came upon the stone gargoyle that guarded the Headmaster's office, Hermione stopped abruptly.
"What's wrong?"
Hermione turned to the others and said timidly, "Do any of you know the password?"
Ron groaned and Fred smacked his head. George, on the other hand, grinned and pulled out the Marauders Map.
"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!" He said and tapped the parchment with his wand.
"It says here that the password is 'Chocolate Frog'." As soon as he said the password, the gargoyle sprang to life and jumped aside.
"Come on! What are you waiting for?" Hermione tried to pull them onto the moving staircase, but George wouldn't budge.
"Hey, Hermione, wasn't Harry's dad's name James Potter?" He asked her, with a funny expression on his face.
"Yes." She replied impatiently. "Why?"
He showed her the map and she gasped. "Th-that's impossible! James Potter is –"
"Yes?" Came a curious voice from behind her. "I'm what?"
Hermione whirled around and came face-to-face with James Potter. She gave a tiny "oh!" and fainted as the full meaning of their encounter hit her.
