Creppieness- Thanks... I am glad you like it...I am trying to update.
pickle pants- Look. It is very hard to write three stories at once, so I think I am doing very well as they all involve different plots and different ships. I am going to work on this story. I just had to work on the ones that all the other people were reading at the moment. I am under a lot of pressure. I have Band, school coming up, homework, writing three stories, and I am working on my art. Ok! I am probably going to explode. Sorry. I am really tired right now. Thanks for the offer anyway.
dracohermioneluver- Lot's is going on. Hehehehehehahahaha. Ahem. Sorry.
lilchick- Thanks. I am glad someone thinks it's original. I updated. Yay!
StrGzr974- I am so glad that you like it and that it is not confusing.
XxSacredDreamsxX- I am very pleased that it is thorough. I was worried it would be confusing. I hope it turns out great. Thanks all of you.
Chapter 2. Time Changers
Hermione stood outside of Dumbledore's office after being poked and prodded out by Dumbledore while trying to ask him several unanswered "But's" and "Sir's". Now she was standing right outside the rotating staircase in deep thought.
"You gonna get out of the way or what?" The stone gargoyle that guarded Dumbledore's office growled bringing her back to reality.
"Oh, yes. Sorry" Hermione stuttered and stepped out of his way.
She started to walk down the hallway slowly. Time Changer, she Hermione Granger was a Time Changer. She was going to have to go back through the veil to the Marauders time and try to change history. What was she going to tell Harry and Ron? Her two best friends.
"Oh, Harry, by the way, I am going to go through the veil that your supposedly dead godfather fell threw to change history. I hope that you don't mind." Hermione would then turn to Ron and say, "And Ron, I know that we are dating but I have really got to do this and I will most likely never see you again."
Great, she was going to have to go into the past and would never see her parents again. She would most likely never see anyone from her time again. But she had to do this and be strong at the same time. She ran into the Gryffindor Common Room and up to her room where she packed all of her things. Once she was done she got into her bed knowing that the next day was going to be a long and confusing one.
Hermione didn't sleep much, but wasn't tired. She was nervous as hell though. She got up early, dressed and levitated her things behind her and left the sleeping Gryffindor Common Room. Once at Dumbledore's office she levitated her things and Crookshanks to the ground.
"Ice Mice" Hermione stated clearly.
The Gargoyle sprung to life, shaking himself, and hopped out of the way.
She rode up the rotating staircase to the top, stepped off and walked over to the Headmaster's desk. She sat down on the edge of a plushy chair while waiting for the Headmaster to arrive. A few moments later, Dumbledore walked up the staircase and into his office. He saw Hermione and smiled at her.
"I am glad to see that you have arrived right on time...I hope you haven't been here to long?" Dumbledore said and sat in his chair behind the desk. "I know this may be a bit fast paced for you Hermione, but I know that you are a very intelligent brave young witch and that you will do well." At this he smiled at her and pulled out a box.
He leaned over the desk and handed her the box. Hermione looked at Dumbledore wonderingly. He motioned for her to open the box. She lifted the lid. Inside was a small golden key. It looked old and had a strange look to it. She picked it up and held it in her hand.
"That...Ms. Granger may just look like a key...but it is much more. It can open any door. And tell you any password. I am giving you this in case you are in need of assistance." His eyes suddenly turned a grey blue and he looked sad for a moment before he smiled at her.
"Professor Lupin will be waiting to take you to the Ministry of Magic. From there you will use the key to get to the veil. I hope that your trip goes successfully. And remember...Things are not always what they seem to be."
Hermione met Professor Lupin outside the school grounds and from there they apparated outside the Ministry of Magic. Hermione made her way to the veil room.
She stood there. Staring at the veil. Wondering what it would be like to never see anyone here again. She thought of all the people she knew and loved. The people she would never see again. Then she brought a clear image of Sirius in his sixth year into her mind. And stepped through the veil.
She felt a spinning dizzy motion and opened her eyes. Everything was black but she had the distinct feeling that she was moving. Suddenly she came to a stop...
