Hermione could hear faint cries in the background and she groggily opened her eyes. She was staring at a white ceiling and it all came back to her. She was in her own time, Lily and James were alive, she was still a witch, her and Remus were together and they had just had a baby. BABY! That's what the crying was. She sat up and looked to her daughters bassinet. There she saw Remus trying to pick her up, but not knowing where to start or how to hold her.

"Sorry to wake you. I'm not exactly sure how to pick her up. I'm alright if someone hands me a baby, but to take one myself, well," Remus looked at her sheepishly.

Hermione laughed and said, "Just pick her up Remus, I promise she won't break and she won't bite, at least until she gets teeth Just be sure to support her head." Hermione looked at him slyly. This seemed to put Remus at ease and he carefully lifted his tiny daughter out of her bassinet. He came over and sat on the bed next to Hermione. Calli continued to fuss and Remus tried everything he could to settle her; nothing seemed to work and Remus was feeling like a failure.

"It seems my daughter doesn't like me. Nothing I am doing is working." Remus sounded so heart broken and pathetic that Hermione's heart almost broke listening to him. She knew the reason for her daughters discomfort, or at least one of them, she could smell it as soon as Remus sat down with her.

"Remmie, I thought you were a werewolf?"

"I am!"

"Well don't you have heightened senses? Can you smell anything?"

"THAT'S HER? I smelled it, but..." Remus didn't continue.

"You thought it was me?" Hermione placed her hands on her hips and tried to keep the smirk off her face, but failed.

"Well, I didn't know infants could make that big of a smell. I wasn't sure and I didn't want to insult you or anything so I didn't say anything. I can smell the blood on you and I have never been around a woman right after she has given birth, so I didn't know what other smells I would encounter. I am sorry, I didn't mean any offense by it." Remus looked at her pleadingly.

"None taken, I am not offended in the least. In fact I find it rather comical. Since you didn't know what it was, you get to be the first to change her." Hermione pulled a tiny nappy out of the drawer beside her bed and handed it to Remus and then she reached over and grabbed a washcloth and some pasty white cream. "Here you are."

Remus stared at the objects before him and his daughter and he looked back up at Hermione. "I've never done this before; please help me." Hermione laughed and gave him step by step instructions on how to change their daughter. Hermione was almost rolling on the floor with laughter when Remus pulled back the nappy and was greeted by the mess his daughter made. Upon seeing the mess he grimaced and then when the smell hit him full on he gagged and kept gagging the whole time he was changing her. Soon she was cleaned up and in a clean nappy. Remus picked her up and carried her over with him while he disposed of the foul smelling nappy. She had settled slightly while being changed, but now her lungs were working full force and right in Remus' ear. He quickly carried her back to Hermione and said, "I think I broke her, she has just gotten louder. Maybe her nappy is on too tight or she doesn't like the cream I put on, maybe the washcloth was too hot. What ever it is I think she hates me changing her." The worried look on Remus face had Hermione giggling.

"Well I'll show you a spell to change her dirty nappy's. It cleans them and puts cream on their bums and puts a clean nappy on all with a couple of flicks."

"You mean there's a spell that will do all the nasty work I just did manually?"

"Yes, there is."

"Why didn't you show it to me before?"

"You needed to be initiated into the daddy role. To do that you have to change a dirty nappy, but you cheated, because you aren't supposed to get any outside help." Remus didn't know whether to believe her or not, but she looked so serious. Another wail interupted his thoughts and Hermione held out her arms.

"Give her to me, I think only I can solve this one."

"Maybe I can help. I would like to try."

"Sweetie there is nothing you can help here with." Hermione pulled down her top and exposed one of her breasts and Remus immediately became hard. She was even bigger than what he remembered. When she placed his daughter up to where he wanted to be, he felt slightly jealous of the infant. He soon rationalized that this was the only way for his daughter to eat and Hermione was the only one who could supply this for her. The scene quickly went from Remus being jealous of the baby to being jealous of Hermione. She got to do something that he would never be able to do, feed their daughter from his body. He watched the two as they layed there contently, his daughters gentle sucking noises filling the room.

Hermione had just handed the baby to Remus and instructed him how to burp her when the doors to the room burst open and in flew a red headed and a dark headed boy.

"Mione! How are you? We missed you so much. Dumbledore told us everything." Hermione was laughing at her two best friends and shaking her head. Things were exactly as she remembered them, with Ron and Harry at least. They each leaned down and gave her a peck on the cheek. Remus had to fight to control his jealousy but he knew they were like siblings to one another.

Harry leaned towards Hermione and whispered, "Thank you."

Hermione looked at him for a moment and then realised what he meant. She smiled and replied back, "Your welcome." They settled on the bed and began talking about all that was going on. Unfortunately Voldemort was still around and Harry was still expected to kill him. The bonus was that Lucius and Draco were also spies helping out Severus and between the three of them, they were some of the highest ranking Death Eaters and so therefore were able to gather a lot of information for the Order. Hermione could tell that the boys were holding something back and asked them.

"Well it seems that Voldemort has become more and more unstable and he is growing in power. Professor Dumbledore thinks we may have to attack first, if we want a fighting chance. He feels that if he is smart, Voldemort will wait until he has his full powers back, before attacking us and the one thing that the Professor stressed was that Voldemort was far from stupid. We are curently working out a plan of attack."

"I want to be included."

"Absolutely not!" Came from all three men around her. Hermione glared at them all.

"I will not be left behind. I have fought with all of you, right from the beginning. I know more about him than anyone else. I will help and I will not be denied."

"How do you know more? Snape and the Malfoys are in his inner circle."

Hermione gave Remus a questioning look and he shook his head. Hermione sighed and told the two to get comfortable. She explained to them exactly what she had done while she was in the past and both boys sat there with their jaws on the floor the entire time.

"Wow!" came an exclamation from the door. Turning her head, Hermione saw a red headed girl standing there.

"Ginny?" Before she could finish the girls name, she was wrapped in a hug.

"I've missed you; I had no one to talk to except these two prats while you were gone."

Ron yelled, "HEY!" and Harry leaned over and kissed her on the lips.

"So when did he pull his head out of his arse?" Hermione asked Ginny.

"Not too long after you disappeared." The younger red head sat down on her boyfriends lap and snuggled into him. Ron looked slightly uncomfortable, but didn't say anything.

"So Ron, anyone you would like to mention to me?"

Ron's face turned red and he mumbled something.

"What was that, didn't hear you."

"I said I am going out with Luna."

"Ron, that's wonderful. She is a great girl and very pretty too."

Ron smiled at this and nodded his head.

"Why were you embarassed before?"

"Most people think that she is a little looney and they thought I was nutters for turning down Lavender and going with Luna instead."

"Personally I'm glad you are going with Luna and not that preened up bimbo!"

"Yeah that's exactly how I felt too. Lavender seemed so shocked when I told her I liked someone else after she asked me out. She even had the nerve to say that whoever it was I liked couldn't be half as pretty as her. I told her she was right and the person I liked was 10 times prettier and a world smarter too. Then I got up and went over to Luna and asked her out. Luckily for me she felt the same way and said yes."

"They have been attached at the lips ever since! Memorize his face because I don't think you will see it again for a long time. This is the first time I have seen it without Luna attached to it since they started dating." Ginny snorted out. Ron playfully punched her arm and Harry shoved Ron and then hugged Ginny, who was still on his lap.

"I could say the same for the two of you." Ron looked to Ginny and Harry. Ginny just smiled back and Harry's cheeks turned pink. Remus chuckled and Hermione looked over to him and their daughter.

Hermione suddenly remembered something that she wanted to ask.

"How exactly did I disappear? In the time I remember, I vanished after the war, when Dobby said a spell over me."

"The whole school was outside cleaning up the grounds." Hermione looked at Harry confused. "We were hit by a really big storm and there was a lot of debris laying around, so Professor Dumbledore wanted us to all go out and clean it up."

"Why didn't the teachers just use their wands?"

"Don't know, you know the Headmaster." Hermione just nodded her head and chuckled.

"Well anyway, we were picking up trash and you headed close to the Forbidden Forest. Ron and I were about 10 feet away from you when Malfoy came over and whispered something in your ear. We went over ready to hex him..."

"Wait I thought we were friends with him?"

Ron continued the story. "We are, we just have to keep up appearances in front of the school. Malfoy whispered to you and you bent down and picked up a letter he had dropped. One second you're standing up, the next you're gone. Harry and I panicked and ran to the professors. That's when we were told what happened. It seems you, Malfoy and some of the Order had this planned for a long time and you were supposed to go back and try and help out. Harry couldn't go because he looked to much like his parents; I couldn't go, for obvious reasons." He said pointing to his hair and face. When Hemione looked confused he filled her in. "I look exactly like my uncles, they were both in the Order before Voldemort got to them. They were my mum's brothers. There names were Gideon and Fabian Prewett. Mum said that out of all the boys, I'm the spitting image of them. Gin couldn't go either because she looks exactly like mum did at that age. I think you can guess why Malfoy couldn't go."

"Yeah, I almost called him Lucius when he came in with the rest of the crowd yesterday, until I realised it was Draco."

"So that left you. You are the brightest witch of your age, so if anyone could pull it off it would be you." Both Harry and Ron smiled at their friend. Remus' heart wanted to explode with pride. He looked down at his sleeping daughter. She looked so much like her mother. Her hair was a colour between his and Hermione's, her eyes were his colour blue, but the shape of them as well as the rest of her face was all Hermione. Remus stared at his daughter and thought of all the things she would experience growing up. He also thought how she would take him being a werewolf. Would she despise him? Would she be afraid of him? What would he do? The last thing he wanted was to cause her any pain or suffering. What if he passed on his trait to her? There was a slight possibility, and although slight, it was there. Did he just condemn his daughter to a life of pain and rejection? He almost couldn't bare it. He was so deep in thought that he didn't hear Hermione calling him the first few times. When he did he looked up at her, startled, and noticed Ron, Harry and Giny were gone.

"Did the others just leave?" Remus said from Calli's bassinet as he laid the sleeping girl down.

Hermione laughed and said, "No they have been gone for almost 15 minutes. What had you so deep in thought?" Remus came and sat back down beside her. He told her what he had been thinking of and how he thought that maybe Calli and her would be better off without him. She slapped his arm.

"Don't you dare think like that Remus John Lupin! Whatever happens, we will face it together, as a family. Our daughter will grow up and learn to love no matter what and she will be loved no matter what. That is if you want us to be a family?"

"I have never wanted anything more in my life."

"Then shut up and kiss me." Remus did exactly that. Hermione's lips felt so good against his. He knew in an instant he wanted this for the rest of his life.

"Marry me?" He whispered against her cheek.

"I thought that was already a given!" She leaned in and started to kiss him again, this time she reached down to his buckle and with a few flicks it was undone along with his pants.

"Mi? What if someone comes in?"

"Then they will get a good show, or we could hurry this up before someone comes in, either way this is happening and it is happening now!" Hermione freed his rock hard staff and leaned down over it. She rubbed the precum that had leaked out, all over the rest of it. Remus held back a moan and looked down just in time to see her take all of him into her mouth. He couldn't hold back any longer and a deep moan emitted from his throat. She smiled and kept working her mouth up and down over him. He grabbed her hair and tried to control himself, but it had been too long. In fact the last time was right before she had disappeared almost 20 years ago. Sure he had his hand, but he could never bring himself to be with another person. His hips started thrusting in and out of her mouth and well before he would have liked, he came in her mouth with a growl.

"I am sorry!"

Hemrione wiped herself up and asked, "What for?"

"For not lasting that long. That was rather embarrassing, I'm sure a first timer would have lasted longer than I did."

"Nonsense Rem, besides I don't want a first timer. I wouldn't care if you only lasted a minute everytime, I want you. You haven't had much practice lately, have you?"

"No, it's been about 20 years."

Hermione did a quick calculation and looked at Remus, "You mean you haven't been with anyone since I left?"

"No, I haven't. I went out on a few dates and trust me they were willing, but I wasn't. I just couldn't and I didn't really want to either. I figured I have a hand, so why not use it." Hermioe laughed and hugged him.

"Well put your hand away, now that I'm here, you'll never have to use it for that again." Now it was Remus' turn to laugh and hug her.

"Maybe I should get myself cleaned up."

"Yes, I think people will wonder what you are doing in my bed with your pants around your thighs and a lopsided, half baked grin on your face."

"I think if it were James or Sirius, they would guess right away, possibly some others too. I know for sure Harry would; he is his fathers son and after what James caught him doing with Ginny a few weeks ago, I know for sure he would know what was going on."

"What was he caught doing?" Hermione looked shocked and scandalized.

"Lets just say that James said, if Lily ever let him do that to her, he would be one happy man." Hermione looked completely confused. "Most men have this fantasy about buggering a woman, only a privelaged few of us have had that honour and especially with a woman we love. Harry is now among us." Realisation dawned on Hermione and her eyes opened wide.

"James caught them? What did they say?"

"I don't believe they know. He was going to put something away in Harry's room and didn't know they were in there. He said he opened the door and saw Harry and Giny with both of their backs to him and Harry's bare arse slamming into Ginny's equally bare arse. He quietly shut the door and left. I think Harry is beginning to wonder because James keeps giving him nods of approval and Sirius keeps slapping him on the back." Hermione was laughing so hard, she had tears rolling down her cheeks. Madame Pomfrey came into the room and handed Hermione a couple of potions.

"Take these and you will be free to go. I want you to come back in one week, so I can check on you and keep taking these potions, one dropperful a day." Hermione nodded her head and swallowed the foul tasting things. Madame Pomfrey checked her over one last time and looked between her and Remus and shook her head. She then went over and checked a slumbering Calli. When she was done she left the room again.

Remus leaned over to Hermione and whispered, "She knows what we did."

"You're being paranoid. So what, we are adults and are allowed to."

"I am 20 years older than you and was once your professor, not to mention you are still a student in school."

"Not to mention, we have a child together. I think most people with half a brain can figure out what we had to do to get this child." Remus sighed. Hermione was right, she always was. He went over and picked up his daughter while Hermione got her regular clothes on. They exited the hospital wing ten minutes later with a written list of instructions from Madame Pomfrey.
