When Present Meets Past
Chapter 2 – The New Students
The meeting with Dumbledore had been short and uneventful. They had told him that they had been home schooled together and their parents had wanted them to meet new people. Harry and Hermione knew that Dumbledore hadn't fully believed them but he seemed to believe enough to trust them.
And that is how Leo Douglas (Harry), Virginia (Ginny) and Randy (Ron) Anderson, Lana Frazer (Luna), Nick Owens (Neville) and Hermione Gardner came to attend Hogwarts of 1997.

"I wonder who that is." James asked pointing at the woman sitting beside Professor Dumbledore at the Teachers table.
"That's probably the new Defence against the Darks Professor." Remus answered wisely.
Sirius opened his mouth to say something but was cut off when Professor McGonagall walked in with the first years. Everyone in the great hall grew silent as the sorting hat began to sing.
(I'm not good at these things so...)
Everyone in the Great Hall applauded as the sorting hat finished singing. James and Sirius barely heard the sorting as they planned their next prank. They immediately grew quiet as Professor Dumbledore stood.
"Welcome back to Hogwarts! I'm glad you all were able to be here for the new school year. This year we have a few new additions to the school. On first note our new Defence against the Dark Arts teacher is Professor Johnson and we have a few students who will be joining the 5th and 4th years. Let's not have them wait any longer and sort them right now."
The door behind the teachers' table opened and six students walked out. "Anderson Randy" Professor McGonagall called out and a tall blond guy walked up and placed the sorting at on his head. "Gryffindor!" The Gryffindor table broke out in applause.
" Anderson Virginia" a young girl with long blond hair walked up and placed the sorting hat on her head. "Gryffindor!" The Gryffindors once again applauded.
"Douglas Leo" A guy with dark brown hair walked up. He barely placed the hat on his head before it shouted "Gryffindor!" It seemed like the applause at the Gryffindor table would never end.
"Frazer Lana" A young girl with light brown hair walked up. "Ravenclaw!" There was a tremendous applause at the Ravenclaw table.
"Gardner Hermione" A girl with bushy brown hair walked up. "Gryffindor!" A loud applause came from the Gryffindor table.
"Owens Nick" A cubby guy walked up. He barely placed the hat on his head when it shouted "Hufflepuff!" From the Hufflepuff table came loud applause.
As Nick sat down Dumbledore stood, "Before we begin our feast I have a one thing to say. Tuck in!"
Sirius literally jumped for joy when this was said. Remus looked at him in amazement as he started stuffing food down his throat and James only laughed.

The feast was coming to an end. Harry was slowly counting down the time until he met his father and none of them were really paying much attention to their surroundings, so they very surprised when the marauders sat across from them.

Remus looked into the surprised faces of the new students and gave them a warm smile. He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Sirius who suddenly jumped up and said "Oh I've forgotten my manners! I'm Sirius Black, at your service" He slowly kissed Ginny's hand, making her blush bright red.
James noticed that Randy seemed to be getting angry so he said. "Don't mind Sirius. I'm James Potter. That is Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew" Remus just smiled while Peter gave a small wave. (DIE PETER DIE!)
Hermione smiled and shook all their hands. "It's a pleasure to meet you all. As you know I'm Hermione Gardner,"
Harry smiled and held out his hand. "Leo Douglas."
"Randy Anderson"
"Virginia Anderson, but my friends call me Gin."
A girl with long red hair who was sitting near them leaned over. "Hi I couldn't help but over hear. I'm Lily Evans one of the prefects." She said shaking their hands. "If you need anything just ask."
"Thanks." Leo said with a small smile.
"Anytime, so what year are you guys in?"
"Hermione, Randy, Nick and I are all in our 5th year while Gin and Lana are in their 4th."
"Cool, so what subjects are you taking?" Before anyone could blink Lily, Hermione and Remus were wrapped up into a conversation about school work.
"Come on let us show you to the Gryffindor common room." James said getting up.
Randy started speaking. "What about…"
"Don't worry they'll follow." Sirius interrupted.
Still looking doubtful they got up and followed James, Sirius and Peter out of the Great Hall as Lily, Remus and Hermione trailed behind them still wrapped up in their conversation.
