Remus steadily made his way to the library. It was his sanctuary of sorts, and he definitely needed it now. When Hermione had

first arrived he had been hesitant to accept the normalcy of her appearance. But he had become accustomed to her presence and

now the suspicious feeling in his heart hurt him. He didn't know what had happened to her, he didn't know what it was that always

hurt. Like a burn etched into his very soul he couldn't stop thinking about Hermione Granger. It was a full moon though and he

needed to leave. Maybe Sirius would know what to do.

Meanwhile Hermione Granger was sitting on the grounds by her favorite tree. "I shouldn't have let that slip!" she kept telling

herself. She didn't know what to do, now more than ever she wanted, no she need Harry. But she didn't have Harry, she had...

"James!" she smiled for the first time in a while. She wandered up to the Gryffindor common room to look for James. "James, I

really need to talk to you" she called out to him. He made his way down to her and sat on their favorite couch. He put his arm

around her and asked "Whats going on Hermione? How did you know about Moony?"

"James it's complicated. I don't even know where to start"

"It's usually best to start from where it all er, started?" he had confused himself in an order to sound intelligent. Hermione laughed

and then started to speak.

"Alright, but its going to seem a bit far fetched."

"Thats fine Mione, just tell me."

"Well, I was in the shower, and this awful boy Draco Malfoy-"

"Malfoy?"

"Shut up James, let me finish first!"

"Sorry, sorry!"

"As I was saying, he came in and saw me um, completely naked. In the shower-James get that smile off your stupid face!"

"Sorry! Don't hurt me!"

"He was going to be very mean about it so I decided to use my time turner, to go back and lock the bathroom door. But I had

already turned it before I noticed the crack and I ended up here, in this time." I'm actually from the year 2006." Hermione finished,

and found herself unable to meet James' eye.

"Hermione, thats twenty years into the future, are you sure you didn't hit your head on the portrait?"

"James, I knew it. I knew you wouldn't believe me. Only Dumbledore believes me."

"Well, if Dumbledore does, then that's good enough for me. Besides, we all love you Hermione. But that still doesn't tell me how

you knew about Remus."

"Well I went to Hogwarts in my time as well. I was in my seventh year, but in my third year Remus was my DADA teacher." James

burst out laughing and hugged Hermione close.

"Oh Gods, that is classic! Moony, a teacher!"

"James, he had to quit because Snape let his secret slip."

"Snivellus! That great git!"

"James being mean to him isn't going to fix anything."

"What else happens in the future?" Hermione looked at him, and shook her head

"I don't think I should tell you too much, but I will tell you that it's not good."

"Alright Mione, but you'll tell me soon won't you?"

"I'll tell you all, I promise. But will you help me with Remus?"

"Of course, I'll talk to the boys tonight, then we'll come up to see you. I'll tell Lily too."

"Thank you so much James, Harry-" Hermione stopped herself. She was about to tell him that his future son would've loved him if

he had ever gotten the chance to know him. She couldn't, not yet. James looked at her questioningly, but she just smiled and shook

her head. James kissed her on the cheek and made his way back to his room to snog Lily, leaving Hermione to her thoughts.

I don't know what to do, do I tell them or not? Hermione kept thinking to herself. She found her thoughts swarming around her, all

telling her that Harry deserved to know his father, he deserved to have had a life he had control over. If only there was a way. No

direct violence but just letting them know. No, she would have to discuss this with Dumbledore first. In the mean time she should get

started on her potions homework.

It was time for the boys to meet at the whomping willow. Peter missed this meeting, for he had fallen down the stairs and broken

his toe. Remus and Sirius just quietly observing one another when James came up to them. "I need to speak with both of you"

"Aw, come on Prongs, we don't hate each other. You can spare us the lecture!" said Sirius rolling his eyes

"Right, Padfoot is right! We're fine Jamesie poo, you can spare us." said Remus smiling

"Haha, very funny. But as interesting as the two of you are, what I have to say isn't entirely about the two of you."

"Who then?" Remus and Sirius said in unison, smiling at one another.

"It's about Hermione."

All three of them shared a look then and proceeded into the whomping willow.

Meanwhile, Hermione found herself plagued by nightmares of Voldemort and Sirius falling into the veil.
