A/N: I know its not realistic, but yeah....none of it is.. um, beginning of 5th year for Harry. I just reworked this chapter, I hope it runs better!

"Professor Dumbledore!" yelled Hermione, as she scrambled up the stairs to his office. "Professor Dumbledore! Something really really bad happened!" As she entered the room, she noticed that no one was there. She frowned. Turning around, she ran down the stairs. Since Dumbldore wasn't in his office, she figured she should find Professor McGonagall. She was Deputy Headmistress. She ran off to her offices. She crashed into the room to find Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Snape standing in an urgent meeting. "Professor Dumbledore! I'm sorry, but I have to tell you something!" she said, loudly.

"Would it, perhaps, have anything to do with two twins from 7th year Gryffindor, per chance, Miss Granger?" Professor Snape asked, silkily.

"Erm yes! They were exploding fireworks as I tripped, and...and my timeturner flew into the explosion. And the Weasley twins are gone!" Hermione said. "But...you already know that don't you?" she asked fearfully.

"Professor Snape, stop terrorizing Miss Granger." Professor Dumbledore said. "We did not know that was what happened, but yes, we were aware that the twins are no longer here, per se. You see, they are still in this school, Miss Granger. I trust you understand the implications of what I'm saying." Hermione's eyes widened.

"Do you mean, that they're in history?" Hermione asked.

"Yes, my dear. My memories are being changed, as we speak. The same goes for Professor Snape and Professor McGonagall. They are being introduced to identical twins who claim to be from America, but have no accent. They claim their last name is Wesley." Professor Dumbledore, with a twinkle in his eye, said, folding his fingers into a tent.

"If I may, What time were they thrown back to, Professor?" Hermione asked timidly.

"I'm afraid my dear, that the time will be experiencing pranks like never before. You see, Miss Granger, the weasley twins, who have been compared to the marauders, have been sent to the time of the marauders. I know you know who I speak of." Professor Dumbledore said, eyes twinkling madly.

"Oh, my, god." Hermione said. "I need to go talk to Harry and Ron." With that she turned and ran out of the room. She ran along the hallway, as she turned a corner, she ran into Ron.

"OUCH! Hermione! Why are you running! Have you seen the twins?" Ron pestered.

"Running to find you, And yes, in a way, I have seen the twins. Sort of. I'll explain to you and Harry when we find him. We need to find somewhere where we won't be overheard." Hermione said, between deep breaths.

"Um..I think he's in the dorms." Ron said.

"Come on, then!" With that she hurtled past him, dragging him up to the fat lady. "Wronski Feint!" she gasped out. The fat lady opened. They clambered into the room, to the gaping faces of everyone there. Hermione ignored everyone and dashed for the boys stairs, and suddenly skidded to a stop. "Umm, Ron? Get Harry, I'm going to get Ginny. This includes her." She turned and scanned the room. She was over in a corner, talking with some other fourth years. She walked over. "Umm...Ginny? I need to talk to you..With Harry and Ron, too, so we're going to the lake." Ginny stood up and walked with Hermione over to wait for the boys to return downstairs. When a very confused Harry and Ron descended the stairs, Hermione beckoned them to follow and walked out of the Common Room. When they reached the lake, Hermione plopped down. "Well, I guess this is a good way to start. Umm, You guys won't be seeing pranks anytime soon here." She avoided looking at any of them.

"What? Are you trying to say that my brothers actually got themselves expelled Hermione?" Ron said.

"NO...at least...I hope not. If they were, oh god. So much trouble. Actually, I know when your brothers are, Ron and Ginny. You may have been wondering where they were. I can assure you that the twins are here. Unfortunately, they are not here, today. Harry, when we meet the twins again, you may want to ask them about your parents." Hermione said, going red. She buried her face in her hands.

"My..parents? Hermione what happened to Fred and George?" Harry asked, curiously.

"Umm..they were setting off fireworks when I surprised them. They kind of forgot to..um...let go of them...and I tripped. Did I tell you guys that I still had the timeturner-" Hermione was cut off

"Wait, had?" Ginny said, catching on to the word choice.

"Yeah, had. It flew out of my hands and was exploded when the fireworks went off. It, erm, sent the twins back to when Harry's parents were in school." Hermione said, in a rush.

"Um, this is crazy, Hermione! My brothers are probably hanging out with Harry's parents. Weird. Scary." Suddenly a dog barked. They spun around. A big black dog was prancing, sniffing Fang. It glanced at them, meaningfully. Harry cried out "Snuffles!" and ran over to it. Everyone else stayed where they were.

As Harry approached, the dog sat, his tongue lolling. "Snuffles I'm so glad to see you! Kneeling he hugged the dog and whispered that they'd be out again, at midnight. If one looked closely, one would have been able to see that the dog nodded, imperceptible to most. Harry stood, patting the head of the dog once more. He turned and walked back to his friends. "I told snuffles that we'd feed him tonight at midnight." Everyone nodded.

Harry glanced at the clock, 11:45. He and Ginny were sitting in the common room, pretending to work on something they had finished hours ago. Ron and Hermione were on Prefect rounds. They would open the door, so Harry and Ginny could slip out and then pretend to see something down the hall. Suddenly the portrait opened, to admit the voices of Ron and Hermione. They were obviously arguing. Harry slipped the cloak around himself and Ginny and they walked quietly out of the portrait. Ron suddenly pretended to see something down the hallway, conveniently in the direction that led to the Entrance. Hermione trailed after, playing the part of disbelieving friend. She insisted that nothing was there. As soon as they rounded the corner, Harry took of the invisibility cloak so that they could all be under it. Quietly, they made their way down the stairs and onto the grounds. Snuffles was waiting by the whomping willow. It was evident that they were going to the shrieking shack. It was the easiest place for them to meet. Ginny looked slightly nervous, because she had only heard about what had happened there, but the others looked confident. As they walked along the corridor, they took off the invisibility cloak. No one was there, so they didn't have to worry about being found. As soon as they reached the shrieking shack, Snuffles transferred back to his human form, Sirius Black.

He looked at all of the students gathered there, his eyes resting for a moment longer on Harry, noting the bags under the eyes and the haunted look within them. As he glanced at Hermione, it was she who was apparently most distraught. He frowned. Usually she was the calm, levelheaded one. She was biting her lip, seemingly unconsciously. "So, Ron, did you realize that your brothers are about the smartest troublemakers, second to Harry's father and I?" he asked brightly.

"Well....yeah..sorta.." Ron looked confused. "I mean, knowing what you guys did, and they do now, its sorta obvious."

"Yeah, well, they showed as all sorts of pranks back when I was in school. Apparently an accident from this time will send them back. They kind of appeared right in front of us. It was a great secret, no one else knew." Sirius grinned. "They all thought the twins were transfers from America. It was great fun."

"Oh my god." Hermione whispered. "His memories are changing. This is not good. Not good at all. We need to get the two of them back." Ron too had a strange look on his face. "I hope they don't reveal anything, otherwise we might find ourselves with a different Harry, one who has parents. History is changing as we speak. What are we going to do?" Hermione looked panicked. Harry, who had been in deep discussion with Sirius, glanced at her, questioningly. She smiled weakly. Glancing at her watch, her mouth dropped open. It was that late already? "You guys! We have to get back, its 2 in the morning! By the time we get to sleep it'll be three." Hermione jumped up, grabbing Ron's hand and pulled him up. Harry stood reluctantly, giving Sirius a long hug. Sirius transformed into Snuffles and waited patiently for the group to gather themselves and put the invisibility cloak on. It was only the dog's sense of smell and hearing that alerted him to their presence. He made his way out of the house and back into the tunnel, making sure they were following him, periodically. As soon as they reached the Whomping Willow, the three of them muttered bye to Sirius and returned to the castle. Once they reached the corner before the hallway to get into the Gryffindor tower, Ron and Hermione slipped out of the invisibility cloak. They started to argue.

"I'm telling you, Hermione, I saw something. I know I did!" Ron protested loudly.

"Right. Ron. That's why we saw nothing, nil, nada, during your chase around the school." Hermione said, sounding ever so slightly annoyed.

"You're just blind." Ron huffed. "Wronski Feint." The Fat Lady muttered something and swung open. Ron and Hermione stood there staring at each other.

Hermione glanced away and muttered something that sounded like insufferable. Ron glared at her. "I am not insufferable. If anyone here is insufferable, you are." He retorted. By this time, they knew Harry and Ginny were in the room and they climbed in after them. The portrait hole closed and Harry and Ginny took off the invisibility cloak. The four of them glanced at each other wearily and went off to their dormitories. Harry and Ginny fell asleep pretty quickly, but Ron and Hermione remained awake for a few hours before finally drifting off. Hermione's thoughts were mainly on how she could have made such a blunder. Ron, however, couldn't stop thinking about Hermione.
