Chapter 8
AN; See I'm not a complete liar, here's the new chapter, I've just bin busy lately, Enjoy...
Ok there is a good bit of James X Lily in this chapter, but its all part of the development so bare with me…
Recap:
James and Sirius started sniggering and threw their pillows at the sleeping werewolf who shot up cursing. Remus glared daggers at Sirius and James, not taking notice of his girlfriend lying on the floor behind him laughing.
Soon the room was covered in feathers; they were floating everywhere and had stuck to everybody's hair. Soon after Remus woke up looking grouchy.
" What the fuck was that for." Remus shouted indignantly.
" She started it." They shouted in unison, pointing their fingers behind Remus, to where Hermione was starting to stand up looking guiltily at Remus.
Hermione glared daggers at the other boys before sitting beside Remus on his bed, and kissing him good morning, much to the disgust of the other boys.
Both boys just laughed and said she shouldn't have hid behind her boyfriend, Hermione kept glaring while Remus joined in the laughing, before laying his head back down on the pillows in the hope of another hour of sleep.
" What are you doing up so early anyways, its only 7.00 in the morning and classes don't start till 9.00." Sirius said indignantly.
" Well I needed James, didn't I and Lily couldn't know could she." Hermione said smiling innocently at the other boys.
" Well, you interrupted my beauty sleep, you better have a good reason." James said crossing his arms over his wide chest.
"I have an idea to get you and Lily together." Hermione said in a sing song voice."
" Do explain." Sirius said interestingly
Hermione had spent a whole hour trying to explain to James what he needed to do to win Lily's hearth. After she was finished, she made a short list of everything he had to do during the week that would help him get with Lily no problem.
List:
1. Try not to hex people in the hallways, at least not when Lily is around.
2. Deflate ego, just a smidgeon.
3. Leave Severus Snape alone for a whole week.
4. Try not to prank Lily, during the week.
5.Most importantly, Do Not Ask Lily Out in the Great Hall, In Class, or around a large group of people, take her to the side, somewhere quiet and ask her. That way she will take you more seriously.
6. Stop acting as if you are a god, which everyone should worship.
7. Answer a few questions in class, and act responsibly, especially when Lily is around.
When the list was all made up, Hermione headed down to breakfast with the guys, so she could get something to eat before classes started.
Breakfast dragged by, it seemed to last allot longer than just an hour, James had taken Hermione's advice and had not walked straight up to Lily and asked her to this weekends Hogsmeade trip.
When James reached the Gryffindor table, he looked at Lily, who visibly flinched at the thought of him asking her to go with him. James simply raised an eyebrow in question, and smiled at her before sitting down, and eating breakfast with the other Marauders.
When first class started, James walked past Lily and sat in the third row, while she moved up to the front row, of the charms classroom.
Throughout the class, Lily and Hermione were not the only people who were raising their hands to answer questions.
James had been asked to answer allot of questions after volunteering for the first, and so far all his answers were right.
Even though James liked to prank people and mess around in class, he was still quite smart and passed his O.W.L.S easily, along with the other marauders.
Hermione sat beside Remus at the front, while Ginny and Sirius stalked off to the back of the classroom. Hermione was enjoying sitting back and watching Lily and James getting together, cause so far the plan seemed to be working flawlessly.
Remus leaned over to Hermione and whispered in her ear, making her blush. Remus smiled smugly at her reaction and went back to listening to the tiny Charms professor, while Hermione frantically scribbled down notes.
Class ended quicker than usual, and the Marauders, Hermione, Ginny, and Lily had a free class next, as their Professor for DADA was out sick.
The group headed back to the common room noisily, James had not said one word to Lily yet about the Hogmeade trip. He had settles on light chit chat and offering her an odd smile or a crooked grin, he had not flirted with her all day, he was just himself.
When they got to the common room they all collapsed onto the chairs around the fire, relaxing while they could. There was a small tapping on the window, and Hermione looked over seeing it was a small owl, feeling to lazy to get up and open the window, she flicked her wrist and the window flew open allowing the owl to soar in and drop a letter on Hermione's lap.
Hermione and Ginny looked at the letter, and stared at the crest, only the Headmaster or deputy headmaster used a school crest.
" Is it from Dumbledore?" Sirius asked.
" Yes, I wonder what grandfather wants?" Hermione asked Ginny casually.
" Well we know for sure its nothing about going back home." Ginny said, tears shinning in her eyes.
Sirius wrapped his arm around her and pulled her close, Ginny snuggled into his chest and dried her eyes on her sleeve.
Hemione opened the letter and read it after re-reading it she handed it to Ginny who just gave Hermione a blank look.
" He wants to meet with me and Ginny after Dinner today." Hermione said, to her curious friends and boyfriend.
" Do you know what he wants?" Remus asked from Beside Hermione.
" Nope." Ginny said nonchalantly.
The rest of their free time was spent trying to figure out what Dumbledore wanted to talk to them about, they knew they could never get home, they had always know. There was a small possibility they could have returned if their time turners were not broken, but since they are, Hermione and Ginny will have to wait until time catches up wit itself
After all the classes were over and the group of friends headed down to dinner, as usual the meal was delicious and the atmosphere was noisy but pleasant everyone on the Gryffindor table seemed to be having one huge conversation.
Hermione sat between Remus and Ginny, and Sirius sat on Ginny's other side across from them was James Lily. Hermione Ginny and Lily had become the best of friends and since Hermione and Ginny spent all of their time with the Marauders so did Lily, much to her displeasure.
Soon after Dinner was over and everyone was heaving themselves from their seats and back to their beds, well everyone except Hermione and Ginny.
They walked straight up to their grandfather and followed him out a side exit and straight into the headmaster's office.
When they entered the office they looked around shocked, they had not gone up any flights of stairs nor took any turns, yet here they were inside the headmaster's office, on the second floor.
Dumbledore turned to them and seeing their shocked expressions chuckled, explaining that it was one of the many secret passages throughout the school.
Some that they no doubt stumbled across in their own time.
When everyone was seated and comfortable dumbledore turned to them once again, the twinkle gone from his eyes but the smile still stuck in place.
" Now I have asked you to come here today about the Book you were brought into the hospital wing with. Do you remember it?" Dumbledore asked pleasantly.
" Yes grandfather, Professor McGonegal gave it to us, to give to Hagrid, but were not sure whats in it." Hermione replied truthfully.
" This book is the sacred tomb of prophesy, where all the prophecy's were stored before they were moved to the department of Mysteries in your time." Dumbledore said solemnly, he was staring at the two girls in front of him, his gaze meaningful.
" Grandfather is there a prophesy about us in there." Hermione asked.
" Is that why you called us here, because of a prophesy about us." Hermione asked gingerly, the last time she had heard a prophecy it had predicted her best friends death, and she was not looking forward to hearing another.
" Yes and No, there is a prophesy that speaks of a wolf and a fox lost in time, both with the power to change what has gone wrong."
" Is that the whole prophecy, and how do you know it speaks of us." Hermione said skeptically
" No that is not the full prophecy, I am still currently trying to decipher it but the reason I think the prophecy speaks of the two of you is simple. Hermione your animagus form is a wolf and you are now a werewolf and Ginny's animagus form is a fox, both of you have fallen back in time with the hope of changing the past." He said in one breath. " Am I right."
" Yes but how did you know about our forms." Ginny asked.
Hermione stared at dumbledore shocked, he had that damn twinkle in his eyes again, then Hermione remembered the first night she came here they had letters addressed to Dumbldore.
" Grandfather, did Professor McGonegal perhaps tell you our forms in the letters we arrived with addressed to you." Hermione asked.
" Why yes, she did." Dumbledore said smiling." Now lets discuss this in detail, now that our pleasant little chat is over.

Back in the common room, the Marauders and Lily were sitting around waiting for Hermione and Ginny to come back from the Headmasters office.
Remus was reading while trying to finish his potions essay, while Sirius and James played wizards chess. Lily was over in a far corner beside a window reading, she had been there since dinner ended.
James kept sneaking glances at Lily throughout the game of chess and was loosing badly because he couldn't concentrate. Lily had not shouted at him or thrown anything at him all day, which is a major improvement.
" Just ask her will you." Sirius said, irritated that James was not even putting up a fight in their game of chess.
" What, no, not yet I will ask her just not yet." James said dreamily as he watched Lily.
" Why not mate, she will say yes, just don't start being a git about it." Sirius said seriously.
" Its just not the right time, I want to wait, I'm taking Hermione's advice and wait." James said staring into the empty space at on the wall.
James finished off his game of chess with Sirius, that he lost easily; he walked over to Lily by the window and took a seat beside her.
Lily looked up at James and smiled, but inside she groaned, she didn't want him making a spectacle while she was perfectly content with sitting here reading.
To her surprise he just asked her if she wanted some company and sat beside her, they spent the night talking and joking about anything they could think of. They even spent some time making fun of Sirius and Ginny and how they would be together by the end of the week.
Soon Hermione and Ginny made their way back to the common room both exhausted from their busy day.
Hermione said the password, while Ginny pushed her through the portrait hole, and over to the couch where they both collapsed into a pile of limbs.
Sirius stepped in front of Ginny and pulled her over to a dark corner, while Hermione jumped up and sat beside Remus.
Remus kissed the top of her head as she snuggled into his side. Remus asked her about the meeting and what Dumbledore had to say to her, or what he wanted.
Hermione said it was just some prophesy, he thinks might have something to do with her and Ginny but he was not completely convinced so told them he would call upon them again if they were needed.
Hermione turned her head and looked up at Remus who smiled down at her, she leaned up and pressed her lips against his.
Remus lips tingled and he pressed his lips against Thermions harder, occasionally running his tongue over her lips and tugging on her bottom lip begging for entrance.
Hermione opened her mouth slightly and Remus tongue shot into her mouth, tasting and searching every crevice of her mouth and massaging her tongue wit his.
There was a battle for dominance, where both tongues fought for control, but eventually Hermione gave up and Remus took control placing one hand on her face and the other on her waist.
Remus pushed Hermione further down the chair so he was now lying on top of her kissing passionately, and taking no notice of the people scattered around the common room.
Both Werewolves were brought back to reality when someone cleared their throat loudly from behind them. When they looked up, they seen a grinning Ginny and Sirius standing with their arms crossed over their chests.
Remus looked up at his two friends and groaned then slowly got off Hermione but pulled her close to him. Ginny was grinning standing next to him; Hermione looked them over before her eyes fell on their hands that were entwined together in a tight grip.
Hermione looked between Sirius and Ginny before looking at their hands again, she gasped and jumped up to hug Ginny. Both girls screamed as they jumped up and down embracing each other.
Lily looked up to see the commotion and when she walked over to the girls with James following close behind and asked what they were shouting about, she soon began jumping and screaming along with them.
The three marauders looked on in bewilderment, not knowing why the girls were jumping up and down screaming.
Remus looked over at Sirius with a frown and said, " You're a bad influence on them."
" Me what about you and Hermione, snogging on the chairs, with no consideration for anyone who would like to keep their diner where it belongs. In their stomach." Sirius shot at Remus playfully.
" Do you guys know what the hell is wrong with these girls." James asked looking really scared at the screaming girls.
" Nope, no idea Prongs." Remus said also looking really scared.
" I do, I think. I asked Ginny to go out with me and she said Yes."
