Chapter 2: Getting Acquainted

Sirius Black was walking down the aisles on the train with his best friend, James Potter when they heard a loud thump down the hall. James looked to Sirius curiously before both ran down to where the sound came from. "Hey are you ok" Sirius asked kneeling down before the broken girl who seemed to be on the verge of passing out. "Help" was all the girl said before the darkness clouded her vision.

"Sirius is she ok" James asked kneeling next to his friend.

Sirius looked up at his friend his gray eyes swimming with concern for a girl he never met before.

"I don't know Prongs she's pretty beat up." Sirius said brushing a caramel lock away from the girls face.

"We should probably get her into a compartment." Sirius said gently picking her up and carrying her to their compartment where Remus and Peter were already in.

"Hey what's with the girl, Padfoot?" Remus asked.

Once both he and James sat down in the compartment that was now very crowed, thanks to the unconscious girl who was lying across Sirius' lap.

"She was practically passed out in the corridor when we found her." James explained while Sirius looked into the face of the beautiful girl.

"She is quite the looker isn't she." Remus said appreciatively.

"Hands off Moony I saw her first!" Sirius claimed looking into the golden eyes of his friend making sure he understood that the girl in his arms was private property or at least she would be. "Hopefully…" Sirius thought before the compartment fell into a comfortable silence.

Hermione began to stir. She felt like a fright train had run her over. "Ow!" she moaned.

Sirius looked down curiously momentarily speechless as stormy gray met chocolate brown. "What the hell!" Hermione thought staring into the familiar eyes of one Sirius Black who was supposed to be dead but he looked so much younger…..

"Ummm…Hi" Hermione said sort of sheepishly. "Why am I so nervous……and why am I in Sirius' lap?" Hermione asked herself in her head.

"Hey how are you…." Sirius asked after recovering from his loss of speech.

"I feel like I have been run over by a bunch of Hippogriff's actually." Hermione said, placing a hand gently on her forehead in an attempt to stop the pounding in her head.

"Yeah you looked pretty beat up back there…what happened?" James asked looking at the brunette witch.

"Well… There was this guy that was kind of pissed at me and he kind of lost his temper and decided to let it loose on me." Hermione said thinking back to Malfoy and the beating she had just been delt; not to mention the whole traveling back in time and also the fluttering feeling she had felt when she realized whose lap she was currently residing in.

The famous Marauders looked at one another before their eyes fell back on the stunning girl before them.

Besides the now dried blood that was crusted over a nasty cut across the girl's delicate cheek, she was dresses in Hogwarts robes but none of them recognized her. They were very interested in this beautiful witch who seemed to have come from absolutely nowhere.

"So what's your name?" Sirius asked smiling as Hermione crawled out of his lap slowly trying to not upset her injuries.

"Should I tell them my real name?" Hermione asked herself in her head.

"Ummm….I really need to talk to the Headmaster before I tell you who I am." Hermione said smiling nervously at the Marauders.

"Why?" James asked.

Hermione gave him a mild glare "Because I just need too." Hermione said her eyes softening once she rationalized that they had the right to question her.

"Are we almost there?" she asked.

Remus checked his pocket watch that was incrusted with the word Marauder on the outside of the gold cover.

"Yeah we should be coming up on the castle in 10 min." Remus said looking anxiously out the window. It was already dark outside and the stars shown brightly throughout the sky that was illuminated by a crescent moon.

The moment Hermione was off the train her and the Marauders walked over to the carriages that were being pulled by elegant thresholds that she could now see. Looking once more at the creatures, she climbed into a carriage.

"Ahh, there you are please follow me." Professor Dumbledore said addressing Hermione, scaring her and the others for they had just stepped into the stone hallway when their headmaster confronted them.

Hermione looked at the headmaster in shock not expecting the old wizard to be aware of her presence in the past but none the less she followed, waving to the Marauders in thanks, to which they all smiled encouragingly in return before turning to the Great Hall leaving the girl to follow their Headmaster.

The two walked in silence to the heads office which seemed to take forever for with each step Hermione felt her so-called Gryffindor courage dwindle. "Twizlers." Dumbledore said when the reached the guarded staircase that would lead to his office, the griffin immediately jumped out of the way allowing the Headmaster and Hermione to pass.

"Please have a seat miss….."

"Granger…sir"

"Yes Miss Granger would you like to explain to me what you are doing in a time that is so obviously not your own?" Dumbledore asked while the familiar twinkle in his blue eyes sparkled into action.

Hermione stared stupidly at the professor "How did you…"

"Ah, we all have our secrets Miss Granger, but please tell me why you are here?" he asked pleasantly while he popped what Hermione could only guess would be a lemon drop in to his mouth savoring the sour taste.

"Well you see, sir I was wondering around the aisles on the train looking for an empty compartment, when Draco Malfoy attacked me and one of his curses hit my time turner and well I appeared on the train 20 years into the past and was taken care of by Sirius Black and his friends before we arrived at Hogwarts."

Hermione said telling her story while trying to hold back the shivers the Cruciatus curse left behind.

Dumbledore looked pensive. "Well Miss Granger, you seem to have found yourself in an odd situation." He said looking at the young witch before him before stepping over to her and healing her injuries.

"Thank you." she said quietly.

The professor nodded before sitting back behind his desk "Well Miss Granger you are stuck here my dear. I'm sorry." he said looking sadly at her.

Hermione nodded letting it all sink in "I'll never see Ron or Harry again." she thought sadly even though Ron had broken her heart he still was one of her best friends.

"Sir what should I tell the others?" Hermione asked holding back her tears.

Dumbledore looked at the girl for a moment. "You shall come under the alias of my granddaughter, that way no one will ask questions. Your name will shall be Margarete Dumbledore." Professor Dumbledore said.

"Sir I didn't know you had a daughter?" Hermione said slightly shocked she had never heard of her before.

"She died 7 years ago giving birth; unfortunately the child didn't make it either but I made sure no one knew of either of them, so all you have to say is that you were home schooled cause I feared for your safety." Dumbledore said smiling brightly at the girl across form him whom seemed to be shocked.

"Sir I don't know what to say…..thank you…thank you so much." Hermione said overwhelmed, she was actually going to pose as Dumbledore granddaughter.

"Nonsense, I have always wanted a granddaughter, I will have one of the prefects take you down to Hogsmede to buy you some close and other things you will need." Dumbledore said handing a sachet of gold over to Margarete. ( A/N: From now on Hermione will be Margarete ok…).

Margarete stared at the little bag for a moment before picking it up and putting it in her robes. "What about the sorting…will I have to get resorted?" Margarete asked not really wanting to get resorted out of Gryffindor.

"I am sorry dear but you must. However, don't worry. You will most likely end up in the same house you were in during your time." Dumbledore said standing up.

"Now we must be going; the 1st years should be almost done being sorted" he said leading the way out of the office and to the great hall. The whole way there Margarete was trying to calm her nerves.

great hall before Margarete comes in

"So what do you think is taking so long with the headmaster?" Sirius asked anxiously, looking at the large oak doors waiting for the brown haired witch to appear.

"I don't know Pad's but you should be paying attention to the sorting; she'll come soon enough" Remus said smirking at his friends actions.

"Nyphadora black!" McGonagall called the next first year to be sorted.

"Hey Sirius isn't that your cousin?" James asked.

"Uh…yeah she is" Sirius said moving his attention to the young girl who was now sitting on the stool.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The old hat called as the girl jumped down and joined the other new first years that had been sorted into Gryffindor.

Sirius smiled at his cousin broadly to which she returned immediately before she knocked over the pitcher of pumpkin juice that was in front of her, causing those around her to laugh as she blushed.

Sirius' attention was immediately drawn to the oak doors once more when they opened to reveal the girl from the train. She was absolutely beautiful now that she was healed. Her long brown hair laid in the middle of her back in ringlets and her chocolate brown eyes shown so brightly. She was wearing blue hip huggers and a black long sleeve shirt that hugged her curves. Yes, she certainly caught the attention of many boys that were currently drooling over her.

Margarete blushed at the attention but was guided down the aisle by Dumbledore.

"Attention students this is Margarete Dumbledore. She will be attending Hogwarts this year and I hope you all show her the same courtesy she will show you." Dumbledore said once they were in front of the hall Professor McGonagall motioned for her to sit on the stool. Margarete did so and the sorting hat was placed on her head.

"Miss Granger, this is a surprise." The hat said speaking to her through her mind.

"Yes, but please, just sort me…" Margarete said just wanting this day to be over with.

"Yes well lets see very bright…Ravenclaw maybe…no…no, too much courage… you are fiercely loyal maybe Hufflepuff… hmmm…well better be…………….

Authors note:
