Hermione cancelled her date with Severus and didn't go to the dance. She avoided every one for two weeks. Then one day still in her pajamas she ran to Dumbledore office. She called out the password.
"Miss Granger, I was just about to call you. We have found that you cannot go back. The time line you came from has been changed your future does not exist anymore." Dumbledore said when she opened the door.
Hermione fell to her knees in shock and many emotions flowed around her.
"I can remove your memories of that time if you wish." He said when she had calmed down.
"No." She said "Then I would have no past."
He only nodded his blue eyes sparkling. "I understand something to help with nightmares perhaps?" He asked
"That would be nice." She answered.
"You will need to change your name soon, as your past self will still come to Hogwarts in the future." He said handing her two things, a book to fill out with information on the person she would become known as and a potion that would stop the nightmares.
"Can I tell those I'm close to of where I came from?" She asked
"Parts of it for now do not tell James and Lily that they died in your old future or Narcissa Black anything about her future husband's one time future. Lucius will not be joining the death eaters." the head master said
"How can you be sure?" she asked
"We have caught all of them in the months you have been here and Voldmort is gone now. The Ministry saw to that." Was the reply made by the Headmaster.
She left the office and spelled her P.J's into a long dress that was gold. Her eyes she found no longer held back tears. She went to the library and a called a quill to begin filling out her new life.

Thank you for your information misses Jane Marie Granger. The words disappeared just as a hand pulled her head back and her brown eyes meet darker brown ones it was Regulus Black. She went to scream and he silenced her with a spell. He forced her to her feet and took her to a hallway she had not visited in ages. The door showed up after the third pass him still holding her arm tight. He opened the door shoved her in and locked the door behind him.
His eyes looked hungry and he scared her. She refused to show him that though. She closed her eyes as she felt his hand on her neck and moving her dress down her shoulder. She pushed at him trying to get him off her.
"Stop that you little bitch." He growled spelling her so she was tied to the bed in the corner, completely naked. She tried to scream before realizing it would do her no good. He stepped up to the bed pulling his own clothes off one piece at a time to torture her more by dragging out what she knew was coming.
Time lapse...
He dressed and spelled her clothed letting her go form the ropes that had bound her. He left the room her screaming silently after him tears rolling down her cheeks.
Hermione ran from the room of requirement back to the common room and beat on the door until it was opened. She meets blue eyes and shaggy black hair with a push as she ran up to her room tears falling as she went.
"What the hell?" Sirius yelled and Lilly looking worried followed Hermione.
"What happened?" Lilly asked sitting at the edge of her bed across from Hermione's. Who pointed at her mouth? "Finite incontatum." Lilly murmured
"Regulus raped me." She cried whipping at her eyes.
"Oh Hermione I'm sorry." Lilly took her friend into her arms and noticed how she flinched. "Come on we need to get you to the hospital wing." She pulled her friend to her feet and held her around the shoulders.
James, Sirius, Remus and Peter all looked up when the two girls came down the stairs. Hermione avoided eye contact with any of them.
"Sit down Hermione." Lilly said then went to James "Can you carry her to the hospital wing James?" She whispered in his ear. He got up Nodding. "Hermione is it okay if he carries you? I'll stay right next to you." Lilly asked.
She nodded and was picked up bridal style. Lilly opened the door and followed them out. She grabbed Hermione's hand as they descended the stairs then opened the doors to infirmary allowing James to carry her in.
"What happened to Miss Granger?" Madame Pomfrey asked as James laid her on a bed.
Lilly took her away from James and explained everything she had been told. Then she took James to the door.
"I'll come tell you guys what happened when she is ready for you to know, she needs me here." Then she kissed him. He nodded and he headed off. She returned to Hermione just as Madame Pomfrey finished her spell to check for damage.
"How is she?" Lilly asked as Hermione whimpered.
"She has quit a bit of bruising internally and her whole body is shaking from shock, otherwise she will be okay. The bruising will go away." Madame Pomfrey said
"Lilly?" Hermione said softly. "What about Severus?"
Lilly looked at her. "Hermione, it will be alright he'll still like you."
Hermione closed her eyes. She felt used and abused. She knew how the upper class in the wizarding world saw someone who had been raped. She didn't believe that he would still want her.
"Do you want me to tell the boys?" Lilly asked patting her hand.
She nodded at Lilly squeezing her hand, then she let go.
Lilly left the hospital wing and went straight to the slytherin dorm. She had the portrait call for Severus. When the portrait opened to reveal him Lilly's green eyes flooded.
"What's wrong?" he asked closing the door.
"It's Hermione." She said.
"What about her?" His heart dropped had they found a way to send her home? Had something happened to her?
"She was raped Severus." Lilly said whipping at her eyes.
His heart sped up and his mind went through all the things he would do to the person who did this he found out who it was. "Do you know who did it?"
"You'd hate him." Lilly said with a small sigh. "It was Regulus."
Severus turned around and said the password pulling her through the door. Then he called Narcissa and Bellatrix to stay with her, and went to get Regulus Black.
"Black!" He screamed at the end of the stairs. "Get down here!"
Lucius stood up and over heard Lilly talking to the girls about Hermione being in the hospital and having been raped. He joined Severus at the bottom of the stairs just as the younger male came down.
"What do you want Snape?" The boy asked
"I'm not going to hurt only because I don't want to be expelled in my seventh year, but if you ever touch another girl the way Hermione I will gladly feed you to the giant squid." Severus said deathly quiet causing all the people in the common room to stare.
"I'm not so nice." Lucius said pointing his wand at the younger boy. "You ever touch another girl like that and I will be proud to take your manhood away. You are despicable excuse of a human male."
The young man sneered and went to turn only to be met by two female cousins. Then he felt rather than saw as both Bella and Narcissa punched him.
"Damn women." He cursed and Lucius smacked him again.
"You don't to Bella and Narcissa like that." He said
Regulus clutched his cheek and growled before going back upstairs. So his family was going to pick a strange new girl over him? He didn't know what caused this family to think so little of him.
Severus left the room and went to the hospital wing. He found her fast asleep in the bed with her hands around a necklace he hadn't noticed before. He took her hands apart and held one in his own.
"I'm here." He whispered. "I'm not going anywhere."
"Severus, I hope I've saved you." She whispered in her sleep.
"In more ways than you know." He said before kissing her cheek.
Lilly went back to the tower her tears spent and sat down next to James.
"Is she alright?" It was Sirius who asked.
"Md. Pomfrey said she'll be alright after the shock wears off and the bruising heals." Lilly said slowly. "I don't know how she'll be around you guys."
"What happened to her Lil?" Remus asked
"She was raped." Lilly said
All four boys growled. "Who was it?"
"Hmm..."Lily got uncomfortable
"Lilly?" Sirius growled
"It was your brother." She said eyeing him.
Sirius stood up his hair falling around his shoulders. "No wonder she reacted the way she did when I opened the door." His eyes looked sullen.
"She knows you're not him Sirius." lily said getting up and resting a hand on his shoulder. "She was in shock."
"I could kill him." Sirius said then hears Hermione's quiet warning. "You spend thirteen years in Azkaban for the murder of your best friends." He's eyes tear up, who would he have been framed for murdering? Was it Remus and Peter or Lilly and James? Then he remembered that she had said he had died in their sons sixth year.
"She kept whimpering while I was carrying her to, no wonder. That boy should be thrown out." James said seething.
Peter sat still. She hadn't gone out of her way to avoid him but she looked at him like she had knowledge about something bad. Either something he had done or was done to him. He had seen the worry in her eyes. He liked Hermione, she was smart and pretty. Her eyes always shone with compassion. She was a good friend. She did not deserve what had happened to her.
Everyone sat around for another hour talking before they called it a night. Sirius went up to his room and sent a letter to his brother via the disappearing book his parents had given him in first year; his younger brother had the other book. He waited a few minutes than got a reply.
Reg: Yes I took her first. She was wonderful
Sirius growled: I don't want details you sick excuses of a man. She is my friend Reg and she didn't deserve this. What did she do to you?
Reg: What did she do? What did she do? She flaunted herself in front of me. She was constantly flirting with Snape or hanging off either your or James Potters arm and she didn't think twice about taking my friends or turning my family on me, She was a temptation and now I will no longer be tempted.
Sirius closed his eyes. He knew all about temptation but he also knew that taking without consent was wrong. He would admit that she was Beautiful but he knew she was not interested in him.
Sirius: You won't touch her again?
Reg: No I will not, I have had all I wanted.
Sirius: You leave her alone and don't touch another girl like that without her permission and I won't hurt you.
Reg: I'm not scared of you Brother. But no one else calls to me as she did. I will not touch another like that. Now go to bed.
Sirius growled again. Regulus was always bossy for a younger brother. Tomorrow night the boys would be out at the shrieking shack. He would be Padfoot not Sirius. He would be a black dog with great senses. He closed the book and lay down under his covers.
James stared at his canopy. He had known something was wrong when he picked her up. She had whimpered all the way to the hospital wing although she had also whispered over and over that she wanted to go home. All of the boys were slowly becoming protective of her. Tomorrow night he would become a stag. He would be prongs as his friends called him.
