Hermione sat, frozen. No… she had NOT embarrassed herself like that, no, no, no!

This boy, the one she was talking to, was none other that Remus Lupin… Her professor, and now her crush. This was wrong, so wrong!

I'm sorry Athena I should have told you… I just didn't know how once you'd told me about… well yeah… and… what the hell I am Remus Lupin … not Michael, though technically it is my middle name…Athena…

Hermione picked up her quill, shaking slightly.

I don't know what to say… I'm in shock, I think…

His image was bright red, and he ran his fingers through his long hair nervously, biting his lip. 'Gosh, he looks gorgeous' Hermione thought dreamily, not bothering to think about the fact that he could probably see her far-away look.

Athena…

Hermione. If we're going to do this properly, my name is in fact Hermione Athena Granger, not Athena Hermione. I was being careful!

His image laughed, and he looked up, and she became lost in is eyes. So blue, so deep… like the sea, she concluded.

Great minds think alike, Hermione.

They do indeed.

Is there any way you could get here, to this time? I want to meet you, to see you for real.

Hermione nodded, biting her lip in a very similar way to Remus, letting it pop back out.

'She's stunning…' he thought simply, imagining what it would be like to hold her, to kiss her… He shook his head, clearing those thoughts away. She wouldn't want him like that, not after knowing him as a professor.

It's risky… It includes a time-turner... but they only go back in time, they don't go forward. I could get stuck in your time for ever.

Would that be such a bad thing?

Her image blushed. No, I suppose not.

I'm excluded for three days. We can plan it then. Could you get a time-turner in three days?

I already have one.

WHAT?

In my third year, incidentally when you were teaching, very interesting year, met Sirius, he was fun…

A little off topic here, Mione

Hehe, you called me Mione... Ahem, much awkwardness here… Anyway, I did lots of classes at once, and so I was given a time turner… well, I had to give that back, but then last year I had to go into the ministry, and most of the time-turners were destroyed, but I managed to save 2… I have them with me now.

Picture! Hermione held up two time-turners.

Aha… do you know how to make them turn you back so far?

I can ask. We, funnily enough, have a charms assignment on them right now. Be right back… or you can follow me.

Picture! Hermione got up from the floor, collecting her bag, and walked out of the common room. He couldn't help but stare at her, her perfect figure… her legs… her… Remus went red again, and looked up at her back again; she entered the charms classroom and had a conversation with Professor Flitwick, and bounced out again, smiling and giving him an unnoticeable thumbs up. His heart began to race considerably as he stared at her from the front. She was truly a goddess. She was tanned too, he noticed, with considerable… assets. He blushed again, but this time didn't look away from her, but kept staring.

I'm back… Oh my god I know how! I just say a simple incantation to the time-turner with my wand pressed to it… YES! Should I come now?

Remus froze. Should she; and he let her get to know the Marauders first? It would be better, and less suspicious.

Yes. Pack your trunk quickly. I'll be gone for a while, but you can get to know the others as well.

Ok. Be back. I'll go into the boys dormitory, all my guys are in remedial classes. Are you alone?

I am.

He was excited, nervous… Terrified of meeting her. He sat to wait.

Hermione stopped to consider if what she was doing was right... If this went wrong there was a lot at stake. It had been warned that forcing a time-turner forward was dangerous and could have horrible consequences… leaving your soul in some place and body in another, death, confusion, memory loss… but she had to try. It had to be tried. With her she took a plain, un-charmed diary to record her days, and left a note on her pillow.

Harry and Ron

If you read this note, then you will know or will be about to find out if I have gone back in time, of my own choice. I have gone back to the beginning of 1978. Harry, I'm not going to change the past, but hopefully I might be able to persuade certain things to happen. If I don't come back, I will either be dead or not myself… something that is not human… you must think of this as a learning experience I had to take part in, and hopefully it will all come out for the better. I cannot explain what made me go, and you will probably never understand, but my reason is love. Love for you two, and love for one person I have met and … I don't know… re-learned? No, that doesn't make sense… but you know what I mean. I am not in love with this person, but I love them as a friend, and want to see this person happy.

If I don't come back, good luck with your NEWT's! You'll be the best of the lot, both of you.

All my love

Hermione Athena Granger.

She charmed the note to appear when it needed to, and shuddered.

She sighed, and prepared herself to leave, entering the empty boy's bedroom. She was ready, her chain extended to fit around both her and her trunk, and she pointed her wand at the time-turner.

So time may pass from here to then

In time I wish to go back again

Back 20 years I wish to go

No change of place I wish to show

Everything will appear as it does now

In this place I will be, now

The time turner began to spin wildly and she felt a tingling in her limbs, before she disappeared completely.

Eek it was short I know… but I had to leave it there otherwise it would be like 12 pages long… HAPPY READING AND REVIEWING
