Chapter Three- We Meet Again

I was anxious for the arrival of the students unsure as to whether I'd make any friends due to everyone already having social groups. Dumbledore had a house elf deliver all my school supplies and uniform which I quickly changed in to. When it was time I made my way to the great hall for the welcome feast. As I was the first student there I made my way to the end of the Gryffindor table near the head table. Not long after the room began to fill with loud voices and laughter as the tables began to fill up. I hadn't realised that someone had sat next to me until I heard,

"Hello. You're new, I've not seen you before." I knew that voice. I spun round and came face to face with Remus Lupin. A young Remus Lupin. A drop dead gorgeous Remus Lupin.

"Shit." I cursed before realising. The smile on his face slipped.

"Excuse me?"

"I'm sorry. I didn't realise that anyone had sat next to me. I'm Hermione." I said holding my hand out to him.

"His smile reformed even brighter than before. "Remus, and these are my friends. Sirius, Peter, James and Lily." He pointed at each of them in turn. Each of them smiled at me as they were introduced. A stray tear rolled down my cheek as my eyes fell upon Sirius. His grin disappeared as his expression turned to one of concern.

"Are you alright?" he asked.

I wiped the tear away with the sleeve of my jumper and replied, "I'm fine. You just remind me of one of my friends. He died." I need to get a grip. I can't cry every time I see Sirius. This isn't the Sirius I know.

"I'm sorry to hear that," stated Sirius. McGonagall took this time to start the sorting of the first years before Dumbledore began his start of year speech.

"As well as having all the new first years we have a new addition to the seventh years. My Goddaughter Miss Hermione Granger will be joining us for her N.E. year. I'm sure you'll all make her feel very welcome. Let the feast begin." The tables filled with the glorious Hogwarts food, that only Mrs. Weasley could best.

I casually talked with the Marauders and Lily through dinner, them asking questions about my life. I told them that I had been home schooled and that Dumbledore had finally talked my parents into allowing me to attend Hogwarts. I tried to leave out as much as possible not wanting to change the timeline in any way. Dumbledore approached me at the end of dinner and asked me to accompany him to his office.

"I see you have already made friends Miss. Granger." he said with that all-knowing twinkle in his eye.

"I know them from the future, Professor."

"Ah I see. Well you must be extra careful. How do you know them if you don't mind my asking?"

"James and Lily are my best friend's parents. Pettigrew betrayed them and Voldemort killed them. Pettigrew disappeared leaving behind only a finger which implicated Sirius. Sirius was sent to Azkaban, then became the first person to break out after being there for twelve years. He was my best friend's godfather and he died protecting him in a battle. Remus was my deference against the dark arts professor and just happens to be the man that I fell in love with but ended up being the maid of honour at his wedding as his wife is one of my friends."

"Ah. So you know them pretty well then."

"Only Remus and Sirius. I never met James and Lily. And Pettigrew was a Death Eater so I didn't want to know him."

"I see. But you must that none of that has happened yet. So you can't treat Peter as if it had. It might irreversibly change things and cause him to do things differently."

"But what if I can change things? I could ensure that Harry has parents. I could kill Voldemort so that Harry can have a normal childhood."

"While there is still a chance that you can get home, Miss. Granger, I suggest that you try and change things as little as possible. If it seems as though you are to stay here permanently then you're services would be required to help defeat Voldemort."

"You want me to join the order of the phoenix?"

"If you cannot get home, it would be an honour for you to join."

"Thank you, Sir." He smiled that all-knowing smile.

"Now it's off to bed, it's a big day tomorrow."

"Goodnight, Professor." I left his office and felt a Luna moment take over me. I skipped through the corridors taking in all the paintings and the fact that Hogwarts was still in one piece. I collided with something hard.

"Watch where you're going!" A voice barked at me. I picked myself up off the floor. "Sorry." I replied before taking in the weedy, dark haired man stood before me. "Snape?"

He looked confused, "How do you know who I am? I don't believe we have ever met. I think I would remember if we had," he said whilst his eyes skimmed over my body, not even trying to hide the disgust written on his face. When he looked into my eyes again I smirked.

"Your reputation proceeds you." I retorted before skipping away. I made my way back to Gryffindor Tower and entered the common room to find the four Marauders and Lily sat around the fire laughing. I tried to sneak by them and up to my room but halted when I heard,

"Hermione!" I turned around to see them all looking at me.

"Hi!" I replied before resuming my trek.

"Come and join us." I'd recognise that voice anywhere. Remus wanted to spend time with me. The only available seat was on the sofa between him and Sirius. This was going to be awkward.
