Come on people…3 reviews…and I thank those people..…when I had a lot of hits…how rude, lol, but I would like to have more reviews before I continue with the 4th chapter..which means I will give you this 3rd one…but until more reviews…no 4th chapter. I will be starting college on Monday, so updates will be less frequent unless I get lucky I'll try and post twice a week…also depending on the amount of reviews. So on we go…

Disclaimer: Why do this every single time, I mean come on…if I owned Harry Potter, which I don't- : p I would not be doing this…well maybe..just for kicks…

(Previous ch. : She then realized, she had fallen back in time, what she didn't realize was how far back she had gone….)

CHAPTER 3

A NEW BEGINNING?

"…."talking

thoughts

Once she realized this, she got up and walked to a rock where she would stay hidden.

"Well school is still going on, I wonder how far back I am? Well only one way to find out."she mumbled to herself.

The bell rang and the students went inside, this was her chance to get in the castle. She went in through the front doors….she was in the Foyer and ducked behind the nearest statue in a near by hallway when she heard voices coming down the stairs.

"James, get over it….Lily would never go for it."said a black haired boy that Hermione found handsome.

"No, if he did that, he surely, would not have a date to the beginning of the year dance….haha…he just barely got her to say yes in the first place."replied a plump boy with blonde hair.

Oh my word! James…Lily…..as in…James Potter…and Lily Evans? Harry's parents! I've gone back 20 years….then that….that's Peter Pettigrew…..the handsome one is….Sirius…and…no…..that…..that slightly dark blonde…..is REMUS LUPIN! Hermione thought to herself gulping slightly. She made a slight noise as she shifted and then hid further behind the statue.

Remus stopped and looked toward the statue, which was of a bat.

"What's wrong Remus?"asked Peter.

"Don't know, thought I heard something. Nevermind…probably just my ears playing tricks on me, and I know it's not now because Sirius..I can hear your stomach from here."Remus said chuckling.

"Well duh, it's dinner time!"Sirius said taking off to the Great Hall, leaving the other guys behind laughing at his behavior.

Once they were gone and the hallway was clear, she sneaked up to Dumbledore's office, hoping he hadn't left for dinner yet. Whoo, at least he's headmaster, and not some bimbo headed discrimitory…pig..okay Hermione..hehe, don't lose track, you came here for a reason. She thought as she came to the two gargoyles that stood in front of the entrance.

"Hmm, what is the password..umm..Jellybeans?...No…how about , Cockroach Clusters?...No?...Damn…umm"

"Having trouble?"asked a voice from behind her.

Hermione turned around and came face to face with none other than the younger, might note….HANDSOMER….Remus Lupin.

"Oh…..yes..sorry, I'm new.."she replied kind of nervously.

"Oh really? I wasn't aware that we were getting a new student…I'm sorry, my name is Remus Lupin, I'm Head Boy here, and in Gryffindor House, and your name?"he asked.

Oh merlin, do I give him my real name? Or a fake one…oh dear god…what am I gonna say? "Umm, it's well Rhia….Rhia Andrews. I am a transfer student from Le Chateau Academy in France."Hermione replied. Whoa…where did that come from? She thought as she looked at him trying not to falter.

"Well I don't mean to be rude Ms. Andrews, but you don't have a French accent."

"Well I lived in London for seven years, and then my parents got jobs in France, and so we moved…I just never picked up the accent. I've always had my English one."

"I see, well, then Ms. Andrews…"

"Oh, please, call me Rhia."

"All right then, Rhia, I assume you have to talk with the headmaster, well hold on, how did you know where his office is, and that you required a password?"

"Oh, well, I just assumed…am I wrong?"

"No, good guess though, well the password is Mushroom Fungus, I have no idea as to why he picked that, but oh well, shall I accompany you?"

"Oh, no, that won't be necessary, but thank you anyway Prof….I mean..Remus."she replied…blushing slightly for the mistake she almost made by calling him Professor. She then turned to the gargoyles once more. "Mushroom Fungus." As she said that the gargoyles came to life and moved aside and Hermione went towards the phoenix that was on a staircase that began to wind upwards, she stepped on to the stairs and stood there as the staircase continued winding upward.

Remus was still standing, but now leaning against the wall. That girl is awfully intriguing…."he thought.

Hermione finally made her way from the stairs and to Dumbledore's office door. She lifted her hand to knock, when it suddenly entered her mind that she had no idea what to tell him. Oh, hello Professor Dumbledore, my name is Hermione Granger and I'm from the future, care to help me get back? She scoffed at her thought and just decided to hell with it. She knocked.

"Come in."came a voice from inside.

Hermione quietly entered and then closed the door. She saw that he was sitting at his desk writing down something on some parchment. She walked up to him and just stood there, not saying anything. Once he was done, which was only a few seconds later, he put the quill up and folded his hands together and looked up at her.

"I don't believe we had the pleasure of meeting before…are you new?"he asked with twinkles in his eyes.

"Umm…yes sir, my name is well….oh for heaven's sake….Professor Dumbledore, I need your help!"she said flustered.

"Oh, well then….here…"he conjured up a seat for her in front of his desk. "Now tell me child, what is wrong?"he said looking serious.

"Well Professor, you see, my name is Hermione Granger, I'm from the future."Hermione started.

"Oh, well then Ms. Granger, I can see that."

"I figured you already kind of knew that when I first walked in here."

"Yeah, I knew you weren't from this time, can you tell me what happened exactly?"

"Umm, sir well, you see I was in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, and when it was over I had walked outside when this boy in my year, Draco, wanted to get revenge on me for casting a spell at him an knocking him into the wall at the end of the train, because he was being obnoxious….as usual. He caught me in the hallway going to class and he grabbed my time turner, and wouldn't let it go…just as Professor Lupin came out Draco tore it from my neck and said a spell and threw it to the ground…and I heard voices shouting, and then everything went black, and the next thing I knew I was in the forbidden forest. And then I came here."

"Ahh, I see well I'm glad you're not a spy, we have to be careful around here…cause of you know who."

"Oh…Voldemort..yeah I know."

"Hold on, Voldemort is in your time?"

"Yes, wait, are the Deatheaters at large here as well?"

"Yes, they are."

"Well, I could help, you know…identify those people, but I so much want to go back to my time, can you help with that?"

"Let's make a deal Ms. Granger, if you help us, which I really don't want to put you in danger, I'll give it high priority to find you a way back home. But, there may be hard times ahead, cause you know the laws, awful things happen to wizards who meddle with time."

"I am very aware of that sir, but as long as I'm here, I might as well do something…cause I know if I stopped…even for a second, I'll start to cry…and frankly, right now, I don't think I'd be able to stop."

"Okay Ms. Granger, umm, so we're set then, you need a new name."

"Oh, I've already got one sir, Prof. Lu….I mean, hehe, Remus, already kinda confronted me about it….I told him that I was a transfer from Le Chateau Academy in France, and that I was born in London but got transferred there because of my parents, and now I'm back….and that my name was Rhia Andrews."

"Well, I'm very impressed. Well I'm guessing by your robes that you were in Gryffindor, so that's where you will be. Professor McGonagall will get you your schedule tomorrow during breakfast, and a word of caution to you, do not reveal anything about where you come from. Be mindful of who you tell, trust very few."

"Yes sir, I understand,"she said as she started towards the door…just then Dumbledore called her.

"Yes sir?"

"I couldn't help but you say Professor..Lupin..in your story."his eyes twinkled.

"Oh…yeah..hehe..Remus is…or now was…or is going to be…no..not that either..argh! He was my Professor, he taught Defense Against the Dart Arts."

"Interesting, I can picture that, considering..though he is a …well."

"It's okay Prof. Dumbledore, I know, he's a werewolf, in fact, I was the first one who figured it out."

"Well, I'm not surprised. You seem like a smart young lady. I think we're all done here, meet me in a week to discuss more..now we both agree, you help us out, I'll help you out?"

"Yes sir, and thank you, I will see you in one week."and with that she left.

Hermione went out the door and down the steps. As she came down, she noticed Remus leaning against the wall."

"Everything all right Remus?"

"Uhh, yes, so how did it go?"

"Oh, well, I'm in Gryffindor…and Prof. McGonagall will give me my schedule at breakfast tomorrow."

"That's great….we missed dinner, feel like grabbing something to eat from the kitchens..then I'll show you to the dorms?"

"Sure."she said and they were off. I guess this is a new beginning. She thought.
