Chapter Three: When Black meets White

Harry jogged down the long hallways, in hope of finding his godfather.

"Let's see…" He pondered, "I've checked the, Astronomy tower, the Great Hall, all of the classrooms…"

An idea suddenly popped into his head, and he ran down to the Whomping Willow. Harry arrived at the Whomping Willow, not exactly shocked to see it already in a frozen like state. He went sown the hollow part of the tree, and found Sirius leaning on one of the walls.

Harry went over and sat next to Sirius, "You know where she is?"

Sirius looked at Harry through tear-stained eyes, and cleared his throat, "I, think I know where and when she is…"

Harry blinked, "Where? And what do you mean when?"

Sirius sighed and took a golden ring with diamond shaped rubies along the edges, "She's at Hog Warts…but in 1967."

Harry looked shocked, "That's when you were in school! Oh dear, now I do fear for her…"

Sirius chuckled, "No, I assure you, she's fine." He stared at his ring, and smiled.

Harry arched an eyebrow, "When you two were at Hog Warts together, she gave you that ring…right?"

Sirius nodded, "Yes."

"Sirius, do you think we will be able to find her?"

Sirius grinned, "I think, she'll find us."

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

"She looks like a sleeping angel…ow! Remus what was that for!"

"Sirius, it's for hitting on the poor girl, when she's still sleeping!"

Sirius rubbed his newly bruised rib, "I'm sure James thinks the same thing…don't ya Jamie?

James broke out of his daze, "Um, er, no."

Sirius teased, "Someone's thinking about Lily."

Remus jabbed him again, "Shhh! You'll wake her up!"

Hermione cracked her eyes open and muttered under her breath, "Too late…"

Her memory came flooding back to her, and she groaned. Now, she had to find a person who could make a Time Turner, which went into the future…or, a potion or a spell that would do the same. Not to mention, try the keep the past as it should be.

Sirius had heard her groan, "My people, sleeping beauty has risen!"

The three laughed and came over to her bedside.

Remus was the first to pop a question, "What's your name?"

Hermione blinked, "Er, Hermione, um… White."

James grinned, "Miss White, meet Mr. Black." He pointed to Sirius.

Sirius bowed and kissed her hand, "At you service me lady."

Hermione laughed, "And who are you three?"

Remus responded, "I'm Remus Lupin, this is James Potter, and the big dog you just met was Sirius Black."

Sirius smacked Lupin, and turned to Hermione, "Madame Pomfry left clear instructions; you are to get dressed, she noticed the wand in your pocket, and we are to take to the Head Master's office."

Hermione nodded, "Okay- I need to talk to him anyway." She got out of her bed, went into the Hospital Wings bathroom, and called out from the stall, "I'll meet you three outside, alright?"

James yelled back, "Fine!" He grabbed Sirius by the collar of his shirt, and dragged him out.

Remus chuckled to himself, and was about to walk out when he heard Hermione talk to himself. No, Remus was not a very nosey person, however, since it was almost the full moon…

He heard her say, "This really is the definition of bitter-sweet isn't it? Seemingly trapped in the past, and then again, I get to hang around Harry's dad, and younger Sirius and Remus. …I think I might have been able to heal faster in my animagus form…"

Remus stopped listening and walked silently outside, to tell the others about what he heard- about her being an animagus.

Hermione flicked her wand, muttered a spell and made a long black skirt, a burgundy tank top, and a pair on brown flip-flops appear. She slipped on her clothing, pulled her long black hair into a ponytail and walked outside to Sirius, Remus, and James.

She found the three talking in whispers amongst themselves. She cleared her throat, "Weren't we going to the Head Master's office?"

All three jumped slightly, and Sirius came forward, "Ah, yes the Head Master's office is," He pointed to the left of where they were standing, "that way!" Sirius led the three down the halls, and stood in front of the office.

He muttered, "Snickers." And the doors to the staircase opened.

Sirius led the three into the Head Master's office, and when they got in, Head Master Dippet got up from behind his desk, and welcomed them.

He smiled at Hermione, "You must be the one whom Mr. Black tripped over. Well, we saw your wand and-" He looked over at Sirius, James, and Remus, "Would you three mind stepping outside while I discuss matters with this young lady?"

The three shook their heads and single filed out of the room.

"Now," Continued the Headmaster, "You're from the future aren't you?"

Hermione nodded, "How did you-"

"I know a far bit, Miss 'White'."

She nodded again, not too surprised that he would know she was from the future; he was the Head Master after all. It's his duty to know all of his students.

"Sir," She started, "I would like to return home."

"I think that Albus would be able to help you Hermione. But, in the meantime, what house and year were you in?"

"I was in Gryffindor, seventh year."

The headmaster laughed slightly, "Well, that's good! That's the year, and house Mr. Potter, Lupin, and Black are in. I'm sure they would be glad to show you around- let's make it seem that you're new, hm?"

She nodded, "Yea, okay." She stood up and was about to step through the door, when Dippit stopped her.

"Hermione, I'll send you off shopping today with Mr. Black in Diagon Alley. It's Sunday so we should get your school supplies."

"Okay sir, thank you." And with that, she walked out of the door…

AN: okay, this chapter wasn't as long as I had planned it to be, and was a bit pointless. But, the next chappie will be packed with fun! So, stay tuned.
