Chapter 1: Forget the Life You Knew Before

Hermione Granger was running down the hallway weaving in and out of the students also making their way through the same hallway. She needed to find a secluded spot so she could use her time-turner to go back to her class that she missed. She didn't exactly need to run but she just wanted to find a spot fast. Finally she found an empty class room. She pulled her time-turner out of her pocket and began to spin it. When she was on her last spin it fell out of her hand. Luckily she had grabbed the chain that held it but it was still spinning. Oh no! Hermione felt the familiar feeling of flying again and everything dissolved. A few seconds later everything was coming into focus. Hermione looked confused.

"But this…this is where I started," she said aloud. "I was sure that when it spun a few extra times that..." but she was cut off. She heard someone whispering outside. She heard footsteps coming towards the very classroom she herself was in .She looked around and hid in the first closet she found. Why am I hiding? I was just standing here. I wasn't doing anything wrong.

She saw four people come in the room and shut the door behind them. They were all boys that looked about the same age as her. Two of the boys had messy black hair similar to Harry's. In fact one of them had the same hair as Harry. These two looked muscular and Hermione guessed they were Quidditch players. Another boy had brown hair and Hermione could have sworn she saw a Prefect's badge on his robe. The last boy was small with brown messy hair. He was short and plump while the others were tall and lean. Hermione tried to move so she could hear better but lost her footing and fell out of the closet. The four boys crowded around her and she looked up at them while lying on the floor.

"Harry?" Hermione whispered.

"Hey Prongs, she just called you Harry," said one of the boys with the black hair.

"Shut up Padfoot, and help me get her up," said the one called Prongs. Padfoot and Prongs helped Hermione up and she brushed herself off.

"I'm Remus, what's your name?" said the boy with the Prefect badge on.

"I'm Hermione Granger."

"I'm Sirius," said the one called Padfoot. "This here's James," said Sirius pointing to the one called Prongs. "And this is Peter," he said pointing to the short one. Sirius, James, Remus, Peter? I must have gone back in time, more than I had planned to.

"So why haven't we seen you around here before?"

"I uh just transferred here."

"Well it seems you're already in Gryffindor with us," Remus said motioning to the Gryffindor lion on her robes. She looked down.

"Oh yes. Um I'm sorry to go like this but I really must go see Professor Dumbledore." She made her way through them and headed to Dumbledore's office. Damn I don't know the password.

"Can I help you dear?" Hermione spun around to find a much younger Dumbledore standing in front of her.

"Professor Dumbledore, I am so glad to see you."

"Do I know you my dear?" What? Of course I don't exist yet.

"Um no, can I talk to you in private please?" Dumbledore led her up to his office which looked strangely the same as it had.

"Please sit down." He motioned to a chair in front of his desk as he took a seat. "Now what is it you wanted to talk to me about Miss…uh?"

"Granger. Hermione Granger. Professor I…well…" Just say it already. "I'm from the future. You see I was using the time-turner that you had given me in my third year here at Hogwarts but I dropped it and ended up here." She searched her pockets for the time-turner but couldn't find it. Damn I must have left it in that class room. Dumbledore seemed to be thinking about something.

"Very well then. I am not sure how to send you back to the future just yet so for now you must stay here. I see that you are in Gryffindor so sorting is already taken care of. I will place you in a room with the Gryffindor Prefect just in case you have any questions. Her name is Lily Evans. I take it you know where the tower is then?" Hermione nodded.

"Very good, then I will have a schedule made up for you by breakfast tomorrow. I assure you Miss Granger, I will find a way to return you to the future. For now you must pretend that nothing is wrong. Do you have any questions?"

"Well yes one, what year is it?"

"1977." She had gone back in time twenty years. Hermione nodded and left Dumbledore's office. She walked the long corridors not watching where she was going and as she rounded a corner collided hard with someone. She grabbed onto his arms to stop herself from falling. She looked up at his face.

"Professor Snape?" It was Severus Snape only twenty years younger. He couldn't be more than seventeen. He had the same long black hair and the same black penetrating eyes.

"Why did you call me Professor?" he said in his snarky voice.

"Oh sorry, I was confused."

"Well would you be so kind as to let me go? I am in quite a hurry." Hermione just realized that she was still holding his arms.

"Oh sorry." She let go and he kept walking. This was going to be weird. Harry's parents were alive, Sirius, Lupin and Snape were young, and Peter Pettigrew was alive. Hermione had had to hold back her want to strangle him when she had met him. In four years he would be the reason Harry's parents would die. She got to the portrait of the fat lady when she realized she didn't know the password to the common room.

"Hey…Hermione!" Hermione spun around to see Sirius running at her. He stopped just in front of the portrait and took a deep breath.

"Dumbledore…told me…to tell you…the password," he said in between breaths. "Its pumpkin juice." With that the portrait swung open and Sirius led Hermione into the common room. It was just as it had been or would be rather for Hermione. Gold and red was everywhere. There was an enormous picture of Godric Gryffindor above the fire place.

"Oh you left this in the room we found you in." Sirius handed her her time-turner.

"Oh no it's broken."

"Sorry I found it like that. I hope it wasn't too special.

"No that's ok." Sirius looked around for someone and then he found her.

"Yo Lily, come here a sec." A red haired girl looked up from a table by the fire and walked over to them. Hermione noticed that everyone was right, Harry did have his mother's eyes.

"What now Sirius?"

"This is Hermione Granger, she's new." Lily smiled and shook Hermione's hand.

"It's nice to meet you Hermione."

"Nice to meet you too Lily. Professor Dumbledore told me that I would be rooming with you."

"Really? Well then come with me and I'll show you to our room." Hermione followed Lily up the stairs to the girls' dormitories.

"This here's my bed, and that one over there will be your bed." Hermione nodded and went over and sat on her bed. She looked out the window, wishing she had her friends with her. Lily who sensed something was wrong went over and sat next to Hermione.

"Are you all right Hermione?"

"Yeah, I just miss my friends, that's all."

"I know how hard it can be coming to a new school. When I came here I didn't know anything about this world at all. You see I'm a muggle born." Hermione smiled. She had forgotten that Lily came from a muggle family.

"I understand what you mean. I'm a muggle born as well. And I don't think it will be so hard once I get used to it here. You actually remind me a lot of my friend Ginny." It was true Lily and Ginny did look a lot alike.

"Well then maybe we'll become good friends too." Lily smiled and Hermione smiled back.

"Come on, let's go get dinner," Lily suggested. Hermione took one last look outside and said, "Ok." She stood up and headed out the door with Lily.

"Hello ladies." Lily blushed but tried to hide it.

"That's James Potter," Lily whispered. "He and Sirius Black, that one over there, are troublemakers. But they never mean any harm by it."

"Yeah I met them earlier." Lily and Hermione stepped into the Great Hall.

"Evans," said a boy with long white-blond hair. Lucius…

"Malfoy." Lily said in a disgusted tone.

"Well, well, well, who's your friend? I haven't seen her around here before." Standing next to Malfoy was Severus Snape.

"That's because she's new so you obviously wouldn't have seen her around."

"Watch your tone with me mudblood."

"I think you should watch your tone with me seeing as I am a Prefect, unlike you." Lily smirked and continued into the Great Hall. Hermione hadn't been paying attention to Lily and Malfoy, she had been looking at Severus who was looking her in the eyes.

"Come on Hermione." Hermione finally looked away from Severus's eyes and followed Lily. They sat down at the Gryffindor table and waited for dinner to start. Dumbledore stood up and silenced the room.

"Before dinner, I have an announcement to make. I would like you all to welcome Miss Hermione Granger, who has just transferred here to Hogwarts. She has been sorted into Gryffindor. That is all." There had been a round of applause from the Gryffindor table but Hermione was watching Severus who was scowling at Dumbledore.

After dinner Hermione and Lily headed up to the common room. Hermione sat down in a comfy chair next to the fire. Lily sat down across from her. James came and sat next to Lily. He leaned over and whispered in her ear. She giggled but pushed him off when she saw Hermione looking. James got up and walked up to his dorm. A few minutes later Lily got up and Hermione watched her walk up to the boys' dorm. Hermione laughed. She would need to speak to Lily about this later. Hermione went up to her room and layed down on her bed. She sighed wishing that Ginny, Harry and Ron were with her. She then sighed again and made up her mind to stop thinking about her old life and make the most of this one while she was here. Then she fell asleep.
