AN: Um, hello all. . . *looks at feet in shame* I'm so sorry its taken 5 months to get this up! I'm horrible! But please, let he who has never procrastinated throw the first stone! Haha, anyways, I really hope you all enjoy it! I wrote the WHOLE chapter up at a babysitting job a couple of hours ago (the kids were asleep, of course) and I even stole a floppy disk, just so I could get this out tonight, when I got home and tried to load in on my comp, and it said it wouldn't work because the other comp was a stupid Mac! So, I retyped the ENTIRE thing from memory! Actually, I think it turned out better the second time around, so maybe the whole Mac prob was a blessing in disguise. . . .anyways, enjoy chapter number three!!

Disclaimer: I only own the plot. . .and not even THAT, completely! Siriusly, look at all the other Hermy-accidently-goes-back-in-time-and- falls-in-love-with-everyone's-fave-werewolf fics! There are like 5 pages worth of them! But mine is BETTER, so its all good! Haha, don't mind me, I am just a conceited idiot!

Hermione and Remus burst through the portrait into the Common Room, to see a worried James, a bored Sirius, a sleeping (and drooling) Peter, and a rather confused looking red head, whom Hermione numbly realized was the future mother of her best friend, Harry Potter.

James jumped off of the couch at once. "Where have you two been?" He demanded. "I have been worried sick! One minute me and Sirius are having a friendly scuffle, the next, you two are gone, probably snogging in a coat closet or something!" Hermione and Remus looked at him with open mouths and incredulous looks.

"What are you talking about? I was just showing Hershey to Dumbledore's office!" Remus told him. "And since when have you become a mother hen?" James tried to give them a stern look, when, finally, he burst out laughing. "You should have seen the looks on your faces!" He gasped.

The young woman who Hermione presumed to be Lily Evans hit James across the head, and looked at Hershey. "Erm, Hello, I'm Lily Evans, Head Girl and only residing 7th year girl in the whole of Gryffindor house." She smiled. "Oh, um, it's wonderful to meet you, Lily!" Hermione answered. "I'm, er, Hershey Groppet, and you aren't the only 7th year girl anymore."

Lily widened her eyes, grinned, then jumped off the couch and did an insane little jig. "You can't believe how marvelous this is!" She cried, prancing around the couch. "It's been so lonely and BORING! Now I have someone to talk to in the middle of the night!"

She continued to prance around, the others laughing, when suddenly, she tripped and landed in the sleeping Peter's lap, and got his drool all over her robes. "EWW!!" She cried, just as Peter shrieked like a banshee and leapt up. "Don't DO that!" He stuttered. You gave me SUCH a fright!" Everyone was laughing, and he glared. "Fine then, I see how it is, I'm going to bed!"

With that, he stomped upstairs. He tripped three times, much to the groups delight. Once Peter was out of sight, Sirius looked over at Hermione. "So, Hershey. We know your name, and that you're from Beauxbatons, and that your parents are nutters for chocolate, but that's about it. Tell us more!" Everyone agreed, so Hermione (rather reluctantly) started feeding them things about her, some true, and some fake.

"Well," she began, "I was raised in London until I was 11, when my parents received two letters, one from Hogwarts, and one from Beauxbatons. My mother, who lived in France up until she met my father, insisted on my going to Beauxbatons. I had everything there, good grades, good friends. . ." her mind wandered to Harry and Ron.

How were they? Did they know she was gone? Were they worried? She didn't notice she had gotten a rather glazed look until Remus gently shook her. She blinked. "Anyways, I had everything there, when. . .my parents were killed by Death Eaters." The group gasped, and Lily patted her shoulder sympathetically. That part, unfortunately, was completely true. She sniffed, and tried not to cry. . .even though her parents were killed over a year ago, it still hurt.

"I had a choice between who would be my legal guardian: My batty old Aunt Genevieve, whom I despise, but at least I would have still gone to Beauxbatons, or my Aunt Liz, who I love to death. In the end, I chose Auntie Liz. So, I got a week off to mourn, and then I was shipped off here." Nobody said anything. "Um, The End. . ." Hermione said tentatively.

Lily was the first to say anything. "That's. . .that's horrible! I hope you know I'll be here if you need a shoulder to cry on!" "Thank you" Hermione said softly. Remus, looking at his lap, spoke. "I know how you must feel. A little over 2 years ago, my mum and dad were killed by a wer- er, by a wolf. I was the only survivor." Hermione looked at him, shocked. She finally knew how he had been bitten, and the circumstances were so much worse than she had thought. She had always realized how truly horrible it would be to be bitten by a werewolf, but to have your parents killed the same night? She shuddered.

"Oh Remus, how awful for you." She whispered. There was an awkward silence, when finally Sirius exclaimed "Stop being so me!" Hermione gave him an odd look, when, finally, James whispered "He means stop being serious. . .it's a play on words" Hermione started cracking up, glad to be able to laugh again. It hadn't been fun reliving some very real parts of her past.

"So, roomie, what time should I wake you up for classes? I won't be joining you, mind you, I have meetings all day. Head Girl meetings." Lily asked. "Oh, um, around 6 would be nice" Hermione started to say, when suddenly she realized something. "Oh, wait, I'm not going to classes! I have to go to Hogsmeade, to get my supplies! Remus is accompanying me"

Remus looked at her, surprised. "I am??" Hermione blushed, then smacked her forehead against her hand. "Oh, I can't believe it, I completely forgot to ask you! Dumbledore said I had to bring someone with me, and I suggested you. . .you wouldn't mind, would you?" Remus grinned. "Of course not! Anything to get out of Potions-it's my worst subject, you know!"

James snorted. "Worst subject? Don't you mean it's the only subject you do a little less than perfect in, Mr. 'I got 112% on my Charms exam' ". Remus turned red. Just what he wanted, Hershey thinking he was an overachieving loser. . .

Hermione looked at him, shocked. "B-but, that's the same score I got on MY Charms exam!" Remus looked at her, mouth open, then grinned. He looked up towards the Heavens. "Thank you for sending someone who understands me!" Hermione reached over and tweaked his nose. "Just because I get good grades doesn't mean I understand you!"

Remus looked mockingly crestfallen, and she laughed. "Well, I don't know about you boys. . .and girl. . .but I am exhausted! Lily, will you show me to the 7th year's dorm?" Lily glared at her. "Are you crazy, I am not sending you to the empty, dusty, gross dorm, you are bunking with me!" Hermione grinned, and got up. "After you Lily my dear!"

The two girls started walking toward the girl's staircase, when Sirius ran up behind them. If you two girls don't mind ", He said suavely, I'm thinking of joining you for the night." "Sorry, not enough beds." Lily said matter of factly. "Oh, that's alright, I'll just share with one of you! Mind you, I get hot at night, so I'll be sleeping in the nude. . ." Hermione gaped at him, and Lily whacked him over the head.

"GET OUT OF MY SIGHT, BLACK!" He whimpered and scampered up the stairs. Hermione decided that if he were in dog form, his tail would definitely be between his legs. The two girls climbed the stairs, until they were nearly to the top, when Lily stopped. She turned towards the other stairway, and cried dramatically, "Goodnight, my love! Tonight shall be a tragic night, without you!" James didn't hesitate. "Oh, my darling, pray for me to fall asleep quickly, so that I might wake in the morning, because without you in my arms, life isn't worth living!"

They both cracked up, while Hermione and Remus rolled their eyes at each other. "Well, Goodnight Remus." Hermione called softly. He smiled. "Goodnight, Hershey. Welcome to Hogwarts!"
