I HOPE YOU LIKED THE PROLOGUE… ANYHOW, THIS IS WHERE THE STORY ACTUALLY STARTS… ENJOY!

CHAPTER ONE – HERMIONE RANGE

The next part of my story is where my life takes a turn for the worst one could have said. But growing up with your best friend being hunted countless times after one of the most feared wizards of all time you learn to expect the unexpected.

I opened my eyes and immediately closed them again. Shielding them from the blinding white… everything, and the dazzling sun from the window, I took in the blurred surroundings and noticed a haze of silver.

"Ah good, I see your awake" the headmaster spoke. Propping myself onto my pillows I turned to Professor Dumbledore… but he wasn't quite how I remembered him.

Footsteps sounded and I turned to see Madame Pomfrey, but she too looked… younger.

This was the moment I realized that the spell must have done more than simply stunned me.

After the matron had given me some potion for my headache, I returned my attention to the headmaster.

"Professor Dumbledore… could you please tell me the date?" I asked him. With a peculiar look and the familiar twinkle behind his half moon spectacles he answered "September 4th 1976"

The world seemed to freeze at that simple three word sentence. My mind traveled to everything and everyone from 1996. A million questions hazed my brain.

"What is your name?" He asked me next, pulling me out of my dazed mind.

"I'm Hermione Granger sir, and I'm, err, I'm from the future" I whispered, tears forming in my eyes which I hastily wiped away.

"How far from the future may I ask?" The shocked professor asked.

"Twenty years sir, but I did not mean to come here, someone cast a spell and I just ended here…" I explained quietly.

"Ah yes, well Miss Granger I see that we will have to think up a suitable alias for you while here, any preferences?" He asked.

"How about Hermione Range?" I asked to which he nodded.

"We can say you transferred from Durmstrang. Now I think we shall place you in your original house which was Gryffindor I presume?" He asked to which I nodded weakly.

"Yes, yes, I think that you should start your class's tomorrow so that your time-table and such can be sorted, and I give you permission to visit Hogsmede at the weekend to acquire your items" He told me to which I nodded.

"I don't have any money sir" I said after a moment.

"Ah don't worry about that Miss Range" He replied before bidding me goodbye and leaving.

After pleading with the matron to be released I made my way to Gryffindor Tower.

The adventure I had always wanted had finally been set and I never felt more alone in my entire life.

Good? Bad? Awful? Don't worry the chapters will get longer!
