Book One Time Enchanting
Chapter 2
Nobody till you
Lost and Alone
All on my own
That was once me
But for now I can see
This sorrow is true
But at least I have you
Even if there is more rain
Even if I have more pain
You and I can both feel
What's going one is real- from New to You
Hermione's POV
(Two weeks later)
"Hermione?" The word echoed in her ear. She looked up. Lily was standing over her.
"What?" She was too tired to talk right now.
"Weren't you supposed to go see the headmaster?"
Hermione looked at her. Why did Lily wake her up, she had been having such a good dream. She and Ron and Harry were out on the grounds doing nothing in particular but just having fun.
"Headmaster?" she said, still dazed.
"Yes, Dumbledore wanted to see you around two."
Hermione's eyes widened as she looked at her watch. 2:25, she was supposed to have been up there twenty minutes ago.
"Sorry Lils, I have to go," she grabbed her books and ran out of the portrait hole. Oh, how could she have forgotten? This meeting was to discuss how she could get back, all possible ways. Dumbledore wanted to know what she would be comfortable with, in term of transportation, and planned to work from there.
She almost walked right into the gargoyle before she realized where she was. She paused for a second, but then realized that she didn't know the password.
"Ah Miss Granger, I've been expecting you," said Professor Dumbledore's face behind her. She turned and saw him coming up from a staircase to the left.
"Professor, I'm sorry I'm late," said, but he waved his hand dismissively.
"No need to apologize, I was in the dungeons speaking with Professor Terwilliger discussing the unfortunate collapse of a cauldron earlier this morning, so I would have been late as well."
Hermione nodded and Professor Dumbledore gave the password "Mary Jane's" and the staircase appeared. She followed him up the stairs into his office which was almost exactly the way his office always was to her. Fawkes was there, not quite a chick but not quite full grown.
"Please, Hermione sit down," he said gesturing to one of the chairs in front of the desk and taking his own seat in the large chair behind it. Hermione sat and was immediately offered a lemon drop.
"I trust everything is going well," he said.
"Oh yes, everything is alright."
"You are adjusting well. I understand that your situation must be rather difficult."
"That's all fine. Being a muggleborn gives plenty of interesting predicaments."
"I would imagine. You do seem to be doing well. Almost all teachers have come up to me to tell me what a brilliant student you are. You seemed to have amazed them in just two short weeks. Now," he said. "Getting to business. I have looked at all possible ways that you could have possibly been sent back here. I can't find anything unusual about the spell that hit you; it was just a simple Reductor curse. Nothing about it could have sent you back unless there was some sort of time traveling device present."
"I don't believe there was," she said quickly.
"That's what I thought. So I think that perhaps what happened that afternoon somehow the curse through you into another dimension. You body couldn't handle it but couldn't go back so it sent you through time. That is my theory."
Hermione wasn't sure of what to make of this. If that was what had happened, then how would she get home? Could she travel through dimensions? This almost sounded like a muggle theory. But then, Dumbledore paid attention to muggles.
"The only question about that is how this time in particular was the one you landed in. My theory as that is that your mind somehow came to this time and that's how."
This part made sense. Whenever she thought of another time it was usually the time of the marauders. So much of the mystery in their lives was brought by this one. She nodded.
"So, there aren't very many books on sending people through time. Free use of that power was forbidden fifty years ago after a crazed assassin killed the minister of magic, but did so before he was ever in office. The timeline was completely messed up.
"That may endanger our research. However I am determined to find a way to send you back to your time." Hermione nodded again.
"I'm sorry I have no information about how to send you back, but I felt you needed to know my thoughts before I tried any ideas. You may go."
Hermione rose and went down the stairs. She had been hoping for some information, but Dumbledore was a busy man. She couldn't expect everything from him. Even in her time, he couldn't fix their every problem.
She was hardly paying attention to where she was going and, consequently, bumped into somebody.
"Oh, I'm sorry," she said picking up the book she had dropped.
"Let me help you with that," said the person and she looked up. She had walked into Remus Lupin. "Hey, Hermione."
"Hey Remus," she said, trying not to lose control of her tongue. Harry had flown out of her head like he always did when she was around Remus.
"What are you doing up here," he asked. His eyes were penetrating.
"Uhh, Dumbledore wanted to see me," she said. God, she must sound like an idiot. This never happened with Harry.
"Oh, well see you later" he said and he walked off towards the Defense Room. She smiled. It hadn't been easy to guess which subject Professor Lupin would find most interesting. There seemed to be a lot Remus and Harry had in common.
Wait, Harry! She mentally scolded herself for acting so childish. Harry wouldn't be doing this. Whether it was two weeks or forever, Harry wouldn't be doing this.
Remus's POV
Was she scared, he thought. He watched her walk away. He hadn't acted that stupid. Not like that time in the great hall, so why was she so worried?
What if she knows? said a voice at the back of his brain.
She couldn't. There hadn't even been a full moon since she got here. It was in a few days.
What if the Slytherins told her, said the voice again.
She hasn't been around any Slytherins.
How do you know that?
Shut up! He hated these fights with himself.
Hermione's POV
"Hey Hermione," said Lily, sitting down with her in the common room. She was surrounded by books and stacks of parchment.
"Hey Lils," she said looking up briefly and smiling.
"How'd your meeting go yesterday?" "
"Fine."
"What did he want to know," she asked. Hermione hadn't exactly told her.
"He wanted to know what I thought of the school," she said. Well it's not a total lie, she thought. He did want to know. "How'd you date with James go," she said smirking. Lily blushed.
"Fine," she said haughtily. "I notice you haven't been on any dates."
"How do you know I don't have a boyfriend already?" she said, raising an eyebrow.
"How do I know you're telling the truth?"
"You have to take my word for it."
"But I thought you liked Remus. Since when do you have boyfriend? "
"At my other school," she said hurriedly.
"How come I'm just hearing about this?" Lily said in a half serious voice.
"Because one, I do like Remus, two, I miss him, and three-" she stopped. There wasn't a three. Not a three Lily could hear anyway.
"And three..?" said Lily.
"There isn't a three."
"Yes there is."
"No there isn't."
"You don't not have a three and say three like that."
"Well, there isn't a three."
"Okay suit yourself, but I will get it out of you sooner or later."
"I'll be on my guard."
Remus's POV (three days later)
"Hey Moony."
You guys are finally deciding to show up?" he said raising his eyebrow. He was sitting on one of the dust covered chairs. Everything was covered in dust in the shrieking shack. Even the dried blood from full moons past was covered in dust.
"Sorry mate," said James., opening the door. "Lily held me up. I didn't want to wait but I don't think it's really a good idea to make her mad."
"Probably not,' he said.
"Plus if I had she would have wanted to know where we were going and I know you don't want that," said Sirius. He had dust all through his hair.
"That probably won't be a good idea," he said
"Course not," said James breezily. His eyes however, told Remus that he hadn't forgotten their conversation a few weeks earlier.
Hermione's POV
Hermione and Lily were in the common room doing their homework. They liked to compare thoughts on topics while they did this. Hermione liked doing homework with Lily better than with Harry or Ron because they both liked to find distractions from homework instead of just getting it done so they wouldn't have to get it done later.
Hermione glanced out the window at the full moon and back to her paper. Wait, she thought. She looked back at the huge full moon. She could see the light from it reflected on the surface of the lake and illuminate the womping willow.
"Hermione?"
"What?" she said turning back to Lily.
"You haven't written anything for about five minutes," Lily said pointing to her paper.
"Oh, I just thought of something."
"Your boyfriend?" she asked in a teasing voice.
"No!"
"Then what?"
She couldn't tell Lily that she knew Remus was a werewolf. That would seem too weird, but she decided to tell half to truth. "Remus."
"I won't ask anything more," said Lily. "Just get to work, this essay is due tomorrow."
"Yeah I know," she said, picking up her quill and beginning to write. Lily hadn't even looked out the window of looked at her oddly. Maybe she had been expecting it. But Lily's reaction wasn't the one she had expected.
"Hermione?"
"Hmm?"
"Whats number three?"
"Not telling," she said smiling.
"Why?" Lily whined. "Please?"
"Not telling."
Remus's POV
The pain was searing through his body, going along his veins, creeping through his muscles. Remus screwed up his eyes and bit his tongue to fight it back. He felt his teeth shrinking back to their normal size, the hair falling off and his raw red skin appearing anew under it. His bones were shrinking to a human shape, possibly causing him the most pain of all. They were threatening to break from the pressure, but wouldn't give out.
Almost as suddenly as it had started, the transformation stopped. The pain was still their but it was lessoning with every second. He was shaking from the intensity of it all. He couldn't see. Everything looked cloudy.
"Woa, Moony, calm down," came James's voice. He felt a pair of hands grab his shoulders and rub them. Another hand grabbed his own. He would have smiled if not for the pain. They always did this. He had never asked them to, but they did it anyway.
"Come on, breathe," said James. Remus was gaining more control and listened to James advice. He breathed harder and harder until the wolf side lost its hold over him. It left him weak and hurt but he could see.
"Hey, you okay?" said James.
"Yeah," he said panting. "I'm alright."
"You sure?" said Sirius looking him over.
"Yeah. You three better get back up to the castle. Dumbledore will be down here soon."
"You sure you don't want us to wait?" said James. He was still holding onto his shoulders.
"Go. You'll get in trouble if you're down here. I'll be alright."
He watched them walk out the door. Peter the rat was sitting on James's shoulder, unseen by him and Sirius. He heard them walk down the stairs, heard the trapdoor open and then shut.
The next thing he heard was Dumbledore's voice.
"Professor?' he said quietly.
"I thought you were still asleep. Dumbledore was kneeling next to him. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Dumbledore conjured a stretcher and levitated him onto it. "Here," he said, pulling a bottle out of his robes. "Madam Pomfrey seemed to think it would be best for you to have this now."
Remus drank whatever was in the bottle. It was sweet and thick almost, slimy but he immediately felt slightly better and the worst of the cuts he had inflicted on himself stopped stinging. A wave of tiredness washed over him and he relaxed.
"Go ahead and sleep Remus."
Hermione's POV
"Hermione, what's your three?"
She couldn't handle it anymore. Lily wouldn't stop bugging her and the thought had been busting to get out ever since she had brought it up.
"Number three is that I may never see him again," she turned to Lily. "Happy?"
Lily bit her lip. "Oh, I'm sorry," she said. "I've just got an irresistible curiosity. I didn't mean to be annoying about it."
"I know," said Hermione. Now that she had said it, it sounded sadder. "It wasn't really something I needed to hide, but-"
"Yes it is, you had every right to," she said seriously. "Why though?"
"Why what?"
"Why won't you see him again?"
"I thought I had every right to keep it a secret."
"You did but now that you've told me, you can't not tell me why."
Hermione bit her lip. She wanted to tell her. It was partially because she didn't want another few days of nagging, and partially because she called Lily her friend. True, Lily was also her boyfriend's mother who was dead, but in this time she was her friend. Right now she wanted to tell her.
Dumbledore wouldn't be happy with her, but there was still a possibility that she would never go back. She didn't want to think about it, but there was a possibility. And even though she shouldn't tell anyway, she didn't have to tell everything, just a little.
"Come with me," she said, grabbing Lily's hand and dragging her through the portrait hole. She knew exactly where she was going. No one, except maybe the marauders would find them there.
We need a place to be alone, she thought desperately as they approached a large tapestry. Somewhere where they can't find us.
"Hermione, was there a door there a second ago?" Lily was pointing at a door on the other wall.
Hermione smiled. "No it wasn't."
"Then how is it there?" Hermione didn't answer her question but opened the door and pulled her inside. She closed the door behind them and locked it.
"What is this place?" said Lily looking around. All the books that were always in there doing D.A. meetings were there along with several others. There was foe-glass on the wall too, but it clearly wasn't Moody's.
"The Room of Requirement," she said. There were foggy shapes in the foe glass, but she couldn't make any of them out.
"How'd you find this place?" Lily asked staring around.
"Someone told me about it."
"Who?"
"Don't you want to know why I won't see my boyfriend again?"
"Yes but- ugh-tell me."
Hermione sat on the bench lining the room. "This may sound really weird, but I feel like I should tell you."
Lily sat next to her. "What?"
"Dumbledore doesn't want me to tell you, well he doesn't want me to tell anyone, but if I were you I would want somebody to tell me."
"Does this have something to do with the way we found you here? All covered in cuts and bruises?"
Hermione nodded.
"If Dumbledore doesn't want anyone to know, then you shouldn't tell me. I don't always like his decisions, but Dumbledore knows what's right."
"I want to tell you. It's really my story to tell." Lily nodded.
"Do you think that it was odd that I knew Dumbledore? And not just as the great wizard, but like I knew him? Like I was student?"
"Yeah, I did think that was weird."
"I didn't think to talk to him any other way because I am his student. I've been one for the last seven years. I've been going to this school for seven years."
"No you haven't. Before that night I'd never seen you before."
"That's true. But don't you think it's also odd the way I looked at you? Like I was seeing something not quite normal?"
"Yeah. I thought that was uh bizarre to tell you the truth."
"I don't blame you. But if you knew my reason you wouldn't blame me."
"Then what is you reason?"
Hermione had to lie. She couldn't tell the full truth. "Because I've known you for seven years."
"No you haven't. I've never seen you before."
"But I know you."
"How?" Lily asked in a deadly, hollow sort of voice. "How do you know me?"
"The day you found me I was attacked."
"But how do you know me then?"
"The day you found me was September 28th 1977 wasn't it?"
"Yes." Lily looked puzzled.
"The day I was attacked was September 28th 1997."
Lily didn't say anything. She was registering this information. "Tell me what happened."
"That day I was attacked like I said. The person attacking me hit me with the Reductor curse. I'm not sure how it happened, Dumbledore's got a few theories, but I was thrown back in time twenty years. I got hit and the next thing I knew, I was laying on the bed in the hospital wing with you and James and Sirius and Peter sitting around me."
Lily was silent. Hermione wasn't sure what to say.
"I heard you murmuring in when you were brought up to the hospital wing," Lily said. "You were asking somebody named Harry to help you. I thought you were dreaming but I guess there was a reason you said you were being attacked." Hermione smiled.
"Is Harry your boyfriend?" she asked. Hermione look up.
"Yes. He and I have been friends for years. Us and Ron. The famous trio of Hogwarts, that's what everybody thought. Harry and Ron got me into situations you wouldn't believe. They would never have gotten very far if it wasn't for me, though, none of us would ever get out if it wasn't for Harry."
Lily smiled. "How do you know me? You never told me."
"Well you're my best friend's mum." Lily looked up. "Well, actually my boyfriends mum."
"Harry's mum?"
"Yes. He had your eyes."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Who's-who's his dad?" she asked. Hermione smiled.
"Now I shouldn't be telling you that."
"Oh please. I bet that it's James isn't it?"
"The first time I saw James I thought it was Harry. I really did. That was part of the reason I was so shocked. I mean, I woke up, I had just been attacked and I think my boyfriends sitting next to me but it's really his dad at the age of seventeen because I've gone back in time. Or for you, come from the future."
"What's it like?"
"What?"
"The future."
"Not telling. And you can't tell the boys! I know them, they'll think I'm crazy. Can you think of what Sirius will make of that? He'll go around yelling it at the top of his lungs all around the school."
"Oh I pity you if you've already met them."
"They grow up. Sirius still likes doing crazy stuff, James will always be devoted to you, Peter will always be a bit of a wimp and Remus will always be mysterious and secretive."
"What about me?"
"You will always be encouraging them to stop doing dumb things."
"Well, I could have told you that."
"But I can't tell you anything else."
"Well I have one question that I think you can answer."
"Depends on what it is."
"Why exactly is Remus so secretive? If you know it please tell me. It's just he doesn't seem to want to tell me. They think I don't notice it but I do. Remus spends a lot of time in the hospital wing and he says he doesn't have a strong immune system but I know he does because when he's sick he keeps working and battles it out."
They never told her, Hermione thought. Nobody thought to tell Lily.
"Hermione?"
"I don't think that's a question for me
Remus's POV (two days later)
The library was always his refuge. He always studied there after a full moon. It was quiet and the few people who were there were just as intent as he was on studying.
He usually wanted to be alone after a full moon but today it was different. He didn't feel like studying. He wanted to, but he also didn't want to sit and write. Remus Lupin was a stranger to this feeling.
Someone passed by his table and he looked up. Hermione had just walked in. She looked over at him and smiled. "Hey Remus," she said.
"Hi Hermione," he said. His throat felt tight.
"What are you doing?"
"Stuff for potions. That's the one class I don't really understand."
She nodded. "I don't like it much either. Defense is much better."
"Yeah, totally," he said.
"Well, I have to get some books for transfiguration." She walked off to one of the stacks and began searching.
He watched her, forgetting about his potions. She was so pretty. Did she think he was weird? He knew he was a little obsessive over homework but he got the impression that she thought it was just as important.
She picked two books from the shelf and went to Madam Pince's desk who checked them out. She walked past him again with "Bye Remus" and disappeared through the door.
He sighed and picked his quill back up. Well she had spoken to him, did that mean she didn't think he was weird? It must, she had talked to him hadn't she? She even started the conversation.
Two figures passed him whispering. He looked up and saw Regulas, Sirius's younger brother, whispering to Snape. He didn't hear exactly what they were saying but he caught the name "Granger". They walked out the door.
Something about that situation didn't feel right. Why were they talking about Hermione? He picked up his books and followed them
Hermione's POV
The Library wasn't very full and she was glad. She didn't want any noise or anything. She wanted to read and do her homework. Part of her brain was yelling at her for telling Lily and it was making her tired.
She noticed Remus sitting alone at a table near the front of the room. She fought with her parents for a moment then went over to him.
"Hey Remus," she said.
"Hi Hermione," he said.
"What are you doing?"
"Stuff for potions. That's the one class I don't really understand."
She nodded, smiling. I don't like it much either. Defense is much better." She had a feeling he may like that.
"Yeah, totally," he said.
"Well, I have to get some books for transfiguration." She walked off to one of the stacks and began searching.
Did she look like an idiot to him? He had almost seemed insecure right then, usually it was her acting like a wimp. She ran her hands over the book spines, looking for a good one.
Telling Lily the other day made her being here seem final, like there was no way to get back. But Harry walked into her mind every time she talked to Remus.
She picked two books and brought them up to Madam Pince. Remus was watching her. She took the books with out really paying attention to it. He was watching her, that was enough to make her exited.
"Bye Remus," she said. She walked through the door and out into the deserted halls.
Would she always feel this flustered every time she talked to him? She had to stop, Harry was her boyfriend. He just wasn't here-
Someone slammed against her. She dropped her books as she fell. "Bloody hell," she said turning around.
Two boys stood there. The shorter of them had short black hair. He gave the impression that he tried to tan but his skin wouldn't allow it. Blue eyes shone out of his sockets. They reminded her of Sirius's eyes except there was none of Sirius's laughter or fun. They were filled with hatred and anger.
Theo ther was easy to recognize but he shocked her just the same. Her had shoulder length black hair that looked like it had been rolled in something slimy but he hadn't had anytime to wash it out. His eyes were black but they were dark and cold.
Professor Snape, she thought. He was unmistakable. No one else looked like that.
"Hello, said the smaller boy. He was smiling evilly. "I don't believe we've met. My name is Regulas Black."
Hermione didn't have anytime to gasp. She didn't want to show her shock anyway. She should have remembered that Sirius had a younger brother.
"I'm Severus Snape," said Snape. She didn't need the introduction.
"Who are you?" said Regulas, in a falsely sweet voice.
"Now you two should have remembered that the rule is Ladies First," said a new voice. A girl was now walking to them, a swagger in her step and winter in her eyes.
"Bella Black," she said as a greeting. "Now who are you?"
"Why would you need to know that?" she snapped.
"Because you seem to have a passion for my brother, I figured we should know," said Regulas. "You do know my brother, Sirius Black. If you can even count him as my brother."
"You shouldn't. It's sure as hell he doesn't extend that courtesy to you," she said. Regulas's face darkened.
"Oh, don't be insulting my family," said Bellatrix.
"These aren't my words, but I guess now I understand his meaning." Bellatrix looked deadly
"You wanna watch it Granger," she said but Hermione's attention was behind them. Remus was watching from the corner.
"Why are you who I am if you know?" she said. She didn't want to give Remus away. He had caught her eye.
"Maybe we wanted you to tell us," said Snape.
I'll get someone, Remus mouthed. She gave half nod and he disappeared around the corner.
"So who are you?"
Remus's POV
Remus ran around the corner. He didn't know who he wanted to get but he had to get someone. Hermione was in trouble.
He ran up the stairs and almost crashed into Lily. "Remus, what's going on?"
"Hermione's being attacked by some Slytherins," he said panting. "They cornered her outside to library. Come on," he grabbed her hand
"Oh God," she said. "Remus, we have to help her,"
"That's what I just said," he yelled exasperatedly. Why didn't she understand?
"I'm coming," she said.
He ran back down with Lily at his heals. He had forgotten that Lily didn't know what he was, forgotten that Snape could reveal that information, forgotten that his potions essay was due tomorrow, all her knew was that Hermione was in trouble and he couldn't allow that.
They reached the hallway. He heard Snape's voice. "Someone obviously has issues."
"I hope your talking about yourself," said Hermione. Remus saw Snape stiffen.
"Here's a rude one," said Regulas.
"You take Bella," he whispered. "Sneak up behind her. I'll do Snape."
"Then Reggie won't know what's hit him," Lily smirked.
He walked from behind the wall and behind Snape. Hermione was watching him but maintained her conversation. Remus saw her hand grip her wand. He caught Lily's eye and mouthed "one"
"Little Mudblood aren't you," said Bellatrix.
"..Two"
"We won't be tolerating that."
"Three!"
"Impedimenta," yelled not two but three voices. Bellatrix, Snape, and Regulas all fell back. Remus grabbed Hermione's hand.
"Come on," He yelled. "Let's go!"
"Not so fast Lupin," said Snape. "Come to save your girlfriend?"
"No."
"So then what are you doing?" said Regulas.
"Leaving," said Hermione. In a flash she had grabbed Lily's and Remus's hands and pulled them down the hallway. All three of them ran. Remus could hear the Slytherins behind them.
'This way," said Hermione making a sharp turn along the hallway. He narrowly avoided crashing into the one eyed witch statue.
"Dissendium," Hermione said tapping the statue. The hump moved revealing the passage. "Quick down here," she said. Lily slid down the stone slide.
"Go," she said looking at him.
"How did you know?'
"Go inside!" she said.
Knowing he wasn't going to get an answer out of her, he slid down into the dark tunnel. The hump of the witch closed and Hermione nearly crashed into him as she too slid down.
"Lumos," she whispered and a light appeared at the end of her wand. Remus saw her face. It was alert and wary.
"How did you know about the-"he started to say, but she cut him off.
"Sh," she whispered. "If only we knew where they were. Wait, Remus," she turned to him. "Do you have the map?"
"No," he said completely shocked by the new news.
"Damn," she said looking back up. Her eyes still looked scared. She turned back to Remus and threw her arms around him. "Thank you, I don't know what they wanted to do, but the last time I was attacked-"
"Sh," said Lily, raising her own lit wand. Hermione pulled herself of his neck.
Something was moving above them. They could hear footsteps and muffled voices through the floor.
"Is it them?" said Lily gripping her wand.
"Maybe,' said Remus. "But almost no one knows about this passage, which brings me back to my earlier question-"
"Later," said Hermione quickly, looking back up to the slide. Someone had just opened the hump. Remus gripped his want tightly. The hump opened and James stuck his head in.
"What are you three doing down here?" he asked, laughing.
"Hiding," said Hermione. She grabbed James's hand and he pulled her up.
"So Moony, decided to hide in the not-so-secret passage?" said Sirius, who was standing behind James. Remus pulled himself up.
"No," said Lily. "Hermione did it." The other three marauders froze. James almost let go of Lily. Remus saw Hermione bite her tongue as all eyes fell on her. Her brown eyes swept the hall, but the she looked back at them.
"I suppose I have an explanation to give."
Before you came here
My life seemed so clear
I knew what I'd do
But then in came you
Everything changed
My old life was strange
You opened my eyes
And now my mind's in the skies
And you're now in my heart
And we'll never be apart-from New to You
Thank you for all the responses. I've never gotten that many for one chapter before. (gives all reviewers ice creams) You guys rock.
Dragon the evil dictator: Is this soon enough?
Moony's-Mate: Yeah she is. I have this story planned with a sequel, and that's how Verne was created.
amrawo: Thank you
Black-rose23: Thanks. I'm not usually a lengthy writer, but I have this one planned with a lot of stuff.
StarRegina: The first part is Harry/Hermione for purposes of the sequel (see comment to Moony's-Mate) I have noticed you don't have any long chapters.
padfootlvr: Here's the more.
Kinda pathetic that I think six reviews is a lot, but it is for me. Please keep reviewing! The next chapter is going to be fun.
