CHAPTER 5

"Jennifer, we have got word from some of the highest magical intelligence, and we still have no word on how you will be managed to be transported home." The headmaster had great worry in his eyes.

"What am I supposed to do then!" I all but screamed at him.

"Well, I would hope that you continue what you're doing." He smiled. "Lily Evans is an extremely bright girl. She could help you in your studies and she seems to be friends with just about everyone. Just make sure she doesn't catch on to your secret." He said. I nodded.

"Yea well, Lily's all fine and dandy, but I want to go back to my freakin' generation." That was kinda not true, I wasn't ready to face Draco or May. Seeing the Lily and James bicker was one hundred times better then my exbestfriend oogle my ex boyfriend. Bitches.

"Jennifer, I assure you that we are working on that." He said. He was standing up to wave me goodbye, when I came up with a fantastic idea.

"What about a time turner?" I suggested, feeling like the smartest person in freakin' ever.

"Yes, that would work if you were not already in the past. The time turner can not go into the future. I'm sorry. Now I do believe I have kept you for some time, goodbye dear." He smiled as I walked out the door, defeated.

"Yea and he was like- Oh hey Jenny!" Lily smiled as I took a seat next to her. I looked around the room to find the normal group there, the marauders and Lily's other friends, who I still don't know the names of.

"Jenny! I have something to tell you." Sirius got up from where he was sitting on the floor, and plopped down on the sofa that was way to small for three people, not that I was complaining since it made Sirius's leg partly attack mine, I'm sure I blushed for the 3rd time today.

"Eh, what is it?" I said, trying not to pay much attention to his fit, jean covered legs.

"I think that tonight we should go do 'annoying Snape 2.0.'" He smiled, and looked over at his friends who looked like they wanted to join. His smile faltered a little and he agreed to let them join.

"Well I'm going to go to bed. I don't see how taunting Snape will get anything accomplished." Lily fixated her eyes directly at James.

"Aw Lils, don't you wanna get back at him for what he said?" James looked back at Lily, he wasn't smiling but I could tell he was still excited.

"No." Lily simply stated, before hurrying off to her room. The other girls fallowed her. I wonder what Snape said? I looked up as one of the girls turned to me, her mouth curved to a frown.

"Lily will be fine with us, you five have fun." She looked at each of the four boys before turning her gaze on me. Something was in her eye, jealousy? Hatred? I couldn't place it before she turned her eyes back at Sirius. So it was jealousy that he asked me to join him. Whatever. I nodded OK and looked back at the animated boys.

"Remus, it's way past curfew!" Peter complained.

"I know for a fact that Severus doesn't go to bed when he's told." James said. Sirius nodded, agreeing with his best friend.

We were hurdled into a circle with Sirius in the middle. He was discussing what we were going to do, and how we were going to do it. Remus was standing with a very nervous Peter and I could tell neither of them wanted part in this. James was laughing with Sirius and I was standing silent, waiting for instructions.

"So like, what if he tells?" Remus asked, obviously asking for Peter.

"What, and be a tattle? I don't think so." James replied, startled that they had considered that.

"Plus, the worse thing that could happen is getting points taken from our house." I said.

"Or get expelled?" Remus added.

"Yea, or that." Peter moaned. I really didn't care about the thought of expulsion, Dumbledore couldn't possibly expel me until we found out what was wrong, and how to get me back.. but since I would be in her memories.. He COULD expel me when I get back home.. Oh fuck that.

"Uh, I'm going to pass.. sorry guys." Peter's voice seemed small and unsteady.

"Aw, come on' get over your fear." James stuck out his tongue as Peter turned away, Remus shrugged and started to fallow him. Sirius started running after them, so they would come to their senses and return to the evil plot. James at me then back to the three boys. "Er, We'll be right back." James smiled, and went to catch up with his friends to help Sirius try and get the two boys to coming back.

"Kay." I said, yet for some reason, I didn't stay. I did a one-eighty and started heading toward the Slytherin common room. I wasn't sure why I kept going, I mean, I didn't know what I was going to do when I got there, and I pretty much just ditched the boys.. not that it mattered much. James and Sirius would wimp out if the didn't have Remus, though they do tons of things without Peter.. so I'm sure it wouldn't matter much without him. But still, I felt a rush when I opened the door, and found Snape sitting in almost the same postition in which we found him earlier today. He was sitting on the same green sofa, reading the same book. (I got the name of the book this time, it simply read, Werewolfs. Hmm, what an interesting topic.)

"What do you want Jamie?" Serious sneered, realizing I was in the doorway.

"Oh well actually, it's Jenny." I looked into his cold eyes, and saw that he was nervous. I could tell that he just couldn't take another moment of childish teasing. I suddenly didn't want to laugh at him, after all, he was my potions teacher.. and he might remember me teasing him in my time.. and that could result in some seriously awkward classes. So, instead of calling him names that could cause destruction, I sat down next to him instead. He turned to look at me, obviously surprised.

"Get out." He said, looking back down at his book.

"Why werewolfs?" I questioned, ignoring his command.

"Well, because- ugh, forget it. You wouldn't believe me.. just like Lily." He blushed at his own mention of the redhead.

"What's up with you guys anyways?" I asked.

"Why would I tell you?" He sneered.

"Because I'm asking."

"Well, stay out of my business."

"God, I was just trying to get some talking out of you."

"I would never talk to someone like you." I was reeled back at how mean that comment seemed to me. Someone like me? What was that supposed to mean?

"Whatever." I snapped, jeez, future teachers could be so rude.

"Sorry." Snape said quietly. "Lily and I were best friends, like I was the one to tell her she was magical. It's all Potter's fault. If he wasn't constantly harassing me, then I would have never said what I did." His face actually looked shameful. I felt sorry for him.. but I still felt like I was missing half the story.

"Well, what did you say." I lifted my eyebrow, I was sure I already knew the answer.

"Mud blood." He looked down at his big, black shoes. I remembered when I used to spit out the word mud blood with Draco. I used to just use that word like it was the only word I knew how to say. I wonder what Draco would do if he found out I was actually one. I wonder what all the people that I called a mud blood would do.

"Well, I don't think it was James fault. I mean, he doesn't control your words." I replied, suddenly becoming very awkward when I thought about people.. people that weren't even born yet. I took a deep breath.

"I have to go." I said, standing up, and off the couch. Snape's face looked even more surprised then when I actually entered the room.

"Uh, kay." He rolled his eyes, and continued with his book.

I had to get back home. I just needed to. Maybe it was because I got thinking about people that if I stayed in this decade, might never get to see again. Like my mom or May (not that I minded at the moment.) I had to go see Dumbledore. I had to go now.
