The headmaster heard a knock on his office door. "You may come in," he said softly.

Hermione and Remus walked in, hand in hand.

"Headmaster, I know I wasn't supposed to tell anybody, butI had to tell Remus! He is my friendand he can help me get home! I am sorry but I just couldn't leave him in the dark! He won't tell anybod - " Hermione was cut off by Dumbledore's hand in the air.

"Miss Granger, I am aware that you told Mr. Lupin. However, I am not angry. I know he can keep this secret and he will be of great aid to you getting home. Now, have you come up with any ideas yet?"

Hermione shook her head. As much as she wanted to get home, she had been busy with her own things in school.

Remus spoke up. "Sir, I know this might seem like a crazy idea, but what if we posted Hermione in a school newsletter or something? Maybe her friends are searching there for her."

Professor Dumbledore was silent for a moment, then quietly said, "That is a wonderful idea, Mr. Lupin. Hermione is lucky to have you here. Now, let me think about how to get the photo in."

The two kids walked down to the Gryfindor common room together. From there, Hermione went to go tidy up for her pictures. She had no idea what type it would be, but she wanted to look good if it was to be historical.

She went up to her room and found her beauty book of potions. She first combed her hair, then enchanted it to be frizz-free and shiny. She clipped up the top half, but left most of it hanging down her back. Then she changed into her bright green robe and went down to the common room to meet Remus.

His eyes gazed at her before she even saw him. He loved it when she dressed up! He met her at the stairs for a bear hug and then kissed her gently on the cheek.

"Well, let's go up to the headmasters office and take you picture. He probably knows where to put it now," Remus suggested.

The two climbed up the stairs once more to meet the headmaster. When they got there they found a camera set up near him.

"Hermione, I have discovered where to set your photo in. You see, we have a book at Hogwarts that has a list of spectacular students in it. All of the brightest students have their names and pictures posted. All we have to do is take your picture and place it in. I always keep the book in my office, so maybe twenty years from now I am looking in it. So, let's get started."

Hermione sat in front of his fireplace and smiled. The picture itself was torture - Hermione wasn't one for photos - but it was over quickly. Dumbledore then posted the picture with Hermione's name in his book.

"Now I am afraid we have nothing to do but wait," he announced to the kids.

With that, the three of them walked down to dinner. Hermione couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed.

Am I ever going to get home? she thought sadly.

I know it's been awhile, but I have been bombarded with homework and I didn't have a chance. So even if this is short, be grateful for it!
