Disclaimer: Don't own Harry Potter…

A/n: yay another chapter. Hope you liked the first one even if you didn't review… anywho on to the story. Oh wait one more thing. Yes, this is a Remus Hermione story BUT it will take a bit before we get to that. I have to go through a lot of things first. And I'm sorry I didn't update sooner.

HONORABLE MENTION: TsukiyoTenshi for not pressuring me into updating the second he/she reviewed. Said I could update whenever. So thank you for that.

Last Time:

"Oh my baby girl is finally home," he said tears streaming down his face. The rest of the night Hermione explained what had happened and where she had been for the past five years.

After that the family agreed that Hermione and Lily had to go back to Hogwarts the next day. Besides it wasn't much longer until the end of the year. As they apparated outside the main gates they saw Hagrid walking down the path to the gates. He unlocked them for the girls and they saw the wards that were around the gates flicker as they walked through. Once the gates were locked again they could see the wards being put back into place. As they walked back to the castle they chatted with Hagrid and explained to him where Hermione had been for the past five years. As they were talking Hermione realized that she could change everything. Harry could have his parents and his godfather. She could tell the marauders about what had happened in her time, well ok the future. She became even more happy after having these thoughts. First she would start with Hagrid. His name could be cleared so much earlier now. After saying goodbye to Hagrid at the doors to the castle Hermione grabbed Lily's hand and took off towards the Headmasters office. Once there she realized that she didn't know the password.

"Uh, lemon drops," Hermione said. Lily laughed and said the password and told Hermione that she was head girl. Hermione laughed but didn't say that she already knew this. She needed to talk with Dumbledore first. As they made it up to the office they stopped when they heard voices inside.

"But Headmaster I don't understand why you made us forget? We could have helped to look for her. Do you even know where she has been all this time? I mean you said she just appeared in your office," Hermione heard a voice that she remember so well say. With tears in her eyes she flung open the door and ran over to hug Sirius Black.

"Oomph," he said as she collided with him. He looked down clearly startled and when he realized it was Hermione he hugged her back.

"Oh I've missed you sooo much," she said. She knew he was going to take it as the past five years but she knew what she meant and that was all that mattered. As she turned around the room and saw that the other three marauders were there she smiled and went to hug Remus too. She knew it would look strange that she didn't hug Peter but she would get to explaining that later.

"Headmaster I have to talk to you about something very important. I would like it if only Lily stayed please," she said giving the marauders and apologetic look. They all nodded and left the room. As she explained about what happened in her second year the Headmasters eyes lost a bit of their twinkle at realizing what she had gone through. When she was done he sent a letter to both the ministry and Hagrid asking for a meeting in his office to discuss with them what he had just learned. He asked the girls to stay so Hermione could explain it again to them so they would know that he wasn't making it up. He even asked her for some of her memories to prove it.

After the meeting Hagrid was cleared of the charges put against him and he was allowed to do magic again. Dumbledore dismissed Hermione and Lily and they slowly made their way back to the common room. Lily was asking Hermione so many questions about the future but Hermione wanted to wait until the marauders were all there to so she could explain it once. As they finally made it to the common room they noticed the boys were all sitting there waiting for them anyways.

"Hermione, where have you been all this time?" Remus asked. Hermione laughed and sat down.

"Oh this is going to be a long story," she said with a sigh. Everyone moved a bit closer so they wouldn't be over heard and stared at her. She sighed again and began by explained what she remembered about when she had been captured. Then she told them about what happened when she went to Hogwarts in the future and then finally about when she finally remembered who she was and how the Dumbledore from the future sent her back. She then went into detail about all her years in Hogwarts, even reveling that Peter had betrayed everyone. She told them about her two best friends and what had happened to Harry. By the end of it all, everyone was pretty mad at Peter and they made him show them his left arm. Thankfully there was no Dark Mark so Hermione still had time to "save" him as it were. She knew they never really treated him the best and that was probably why he switched sides.

"Soooo yea. There you have it," she said. They were all pretty shocked.

"Wow. It's all kind of confusing isn't it?" Sirius asked. Everyone laughed.

"Unless it has to do with pranks or food, everything is confusing for you Padfoot," Lily said rolling her eyes. Everyone laughed again.

"So wait. You're telling me not only will Lily date me but she'll marry me and have my son?" James asked.

"Trust you to be the one to pick up on only that," Sirius said with a laugh. Lily blushed almost as red as her hair.

"Yes, but don't pressure her. It pisses her off. Plus you need to stop picking on people," Hermione said. Then she remembered Snape. Holy hell. I wonder if there's still time to save him too, or if it's to late for that. She thought. She knew Snape had already called Lily a 'mudblood' but maybe there was still hope. He didn't need to live the life he did before.

"I can't believe this," Lily said still blushing. Hermione grinned. She knew Lily hated James from the start. Him asking her out everyday didn't help much either. Hermione sighed. Tomorrow they would "reintroduce" her to the school. It was not going to be a fun day at all.

"I think I'm going to go to bed guys. Tomorrow is going to be a long day," she said standing up.

"I'll come up in a minute," Lily said smiling at her. Everyone else told her good night and she went up to bed.

SOOOOOOOOOO I hope you like it. Again I am sorry it took me so long but I have been having problems with my laptop…
