A/N: So this is a story I wrote a while ago. It has four chapters and a prologue so far. I've just edited it and decided to post it. I might not update for a while as I work on my The Fast and the Furious story but it all depends on the reviews and feedback. Thanks for everyone who has read the prologue and reviewed or added it so far. I don't own anything.

Chapter 1
August 8th, 1995; the Day Jillian lands at the Order
Remus makes his way up to the attic knocking on the door. "Come in Remus," Sirius' voice comes from the other side of the door. Remus walks in the room to see Sirius feeding Buckbeak. He closes the door behind him then takes a seat in one of the chairs. Remus whispers some words in Latin and Sirius looks up wondering why Remus just locked the door. "Moony?"
"I need you to think about this logically and don't act with your heart," Remus said very seriously. "A girl just landed in your entryway."
"Who?" Sirius asks finally bringing his attention to Remus.
"Jillian."
"Let me out Remus," Sirius says moving to the door only to be blocked by the werewolf.
"You know I can't do that. You need to think."
"Thinking is what you do, Remus!" Sirius yells trying to push past Remus.
"And it is what I am going to do for the both of us," Remus replied. "You can't tell her anything. Or you'll change things. She might not even go back," Remus reasons.
"I don't know if I can pretend nothing happened."
"You'll have to, Padfoot. We've talked about this before."
"I lost her in Azkaban, I couldn't even remember her name," Sirius' voice drops to a whisper.
"She's here now, she is here," Remus saays laying a hand on his friend's shoulder. "Don't say anything and you'll have her again."
"She'll have a fugitive," Sirius says but agrees.
September 1st, 1976; Marauders' year 7
I heard a girl shriek as I land on the bottom of the stairs. This was not good. Why did Hermione have to go and have a time turner again? My head was stinging and warm but I couldn't comprehend why.
"Are you okay?" the voice of Remus Lupin asks running towards me and he crouches down beside me.
"Professor Lupin! Oh thank God I thought I had… when it broke… gold dust everywhere… didn't know what time I would have gone to," I say and wrap my arms tightly around Lupin's neck. "How did we get to Hogwarts?" I ask with a sinking feeling in my stomach. "God, what year is it?"
"What?" a voice I don't recognize says from behind me.
"Professor" a voice I do recognize laughs from my left, "I am always telling you that you look like a teacher." Whipping my already pounding head around I see someone I thought was gone forever.
"Sirius!" I say in disbelief untangling myself from Lupin I launch myself in to the arms of Sirius Black. I feel his body tense up. I pull back and see a younger Sirius Black. The gray eyes are the last thing I see before passing out.
"Do you think she is from the future?" a boy with messy black hair asks. I can't bring myself to open my eyes as I return to consciousness with my head pounding and the thought of moving sending my stomach churning. The redhead gives him an exasperated look. "Well she asked what year it is, that's got to mean something."
"Did she just call you Professor?" Sirius asks still holding my sleeping form.
"Yes," Remus says in amazement as they all stare at me.
"We have to get her to the hospital wing. Look," the girl says pointing to the back of my head which is covered in blood. "Sirius. Remus take her to the hospital wing and we'll go get Dumbledore," she says pointing to herself and the other boy. Sirius nods and trying to stand up while carrying me which isn't an easy task but he succeeds. The two people with the shiny head badges leaving the three of us.
"Come one Padfoot we better hurry she's lost a lot of blood," Remus says looking down at the puddle on the floor. With a quick cleaning spell they make their way to the Hospital Wing.
I wake up fully in the Hospital Wing feeling much better as a younger Madame Pomfrey keeps handing me horrendous tasting vials of medicine. All I've been able to articulate is the urgency of me talking to the headmaster. There is a picture of a handsome wizard sitting on Pomfrey's desk that isn't there in my time and I wonder what happened to him. Albus Dumbledore comes in to the wing and stands at the end of my bed.
"I'm Jillian Brewster. I'm from the future Headmaster," I manage to say but he is giving me a look of skepticism. I hold out my broken time turner, which I didn't let Pomfrey take. I had been gripping it so hard that it causes several more cuts to my hand and the blood it dripping on to the white sheets of the hospital wing. Dumbledore takes it and another time turner out of his pocket and examining the two of them.
"Seems like you're not that far in the future if I'm still headmaster," he smiles and conjures up a chair to sit in. "It seems like you have traveled to the first place this particular time turner had been used. Although I'll have to talk to Miss Evans about why she was using it at the moment she was. You see classes don't start until tomorrow."
"Miss Evans as in Lily Evans?" I ask in disbelief.
"Oh you know Miss Evans then," he chuckles. "I must ask you not to reveal anything of importance though as I'm sure you'll understand," he says with a sad smile.
"Yes, Sir," I say looking at my hands.
"Miss Evans, Misters Potter, Black and Lupin seem to have figured out that you are from the future but they are under strict instructions not to tell anyone. I am sure you can trust them," Dumbledore smiles.
"You don't understand I have to go back. They're very… They are part of my future. I can't change anything. I have to go home," I babble as my voice grows hysterical.
"I am sorry to inform you that we currently have no way of taking you back to your time. Time turners can only send one back in time." I forget to breathe for a long moment before sucking in as much air as I can. I have to stay. I have to find a way back!
"Does that mean I will have to stay here, Sir," I ask trying not to cry.
"Until I find a way to send you back," Dumbledore says with a sad smile. "Yet I am sure you will be quite comfortable for the time being." I can't help but feel hopeless. Ron, Harry and Hermione need me. I need them. "Don't worry Miss Brewster I'm sure I'll be able to get you back very soon."
Pomfrey made me spend the night in the Hospital Wing, which for once I was grateful for. Half the people in this school are dead or Death Eaters and I wasn't looking forward to fraternizing with either of them. Although they seemed to want to converse with me.
"Will you be quiet Padfoot. Do you want to wake Pomfrey?" a voice says from outside the door.
"Get off my foot! I can't believe you talked me in to this, Potter!" a girl shrieked. The door opens and closes but no one comes in. I close my eyes and pretend to sleep hoping they would leave. I heard the invisibility cloak being taken off and set on a bed.
"Silencio," Remus whispers.
"Good idea," a voice says.
"I thought so with Sirius here," Remus replies.
"Oh bugger off Moony," Sirius says.
"She is asleep. You mean I had to touch you for no reason Potter," a girl growles.
"I'm awake," I say sitting up.
"See Evans you got to touch me for something other than my dashing good looks," says the messy black haired boy who is grinning at her and then gets hit upside the head. I'm sitting there and I can't take my eyes off Sirius who is glaring at Moony. I feel fresh tears falling but I wipe them away.
"Hey future girl," Sirius grins.
"She has a name, Black," the girl says and smile expectably at me.
"Jillian Brewster," I say before I can think of a fake name; I was to distracted my having Harry's smile smiling at me though his mother.
"Hi Jillian. I'm Lily Evans and this is Remus, Sirius and James," she says and the boys raise their hands accordingly. "Well, actually seems like you may know some of them," she says and I can tell she is confused.
"Yeah from the future. I know all of you," I say knowing I cannot tell them only one of them is still alive. "But I can't say much else, sorry."
"We understand," Lily smiles and its contagious.
"So Remus is a Professor," Sirius laughs. "Figures."
"Is Sirius still a whore?" Remus jokes. I laugh but don't answer.
"So will you be staying here?" Lily asks breaking the silence.
"Yeah. Until the headmaster can find a way to send me back," I answer and Lily gives me a sad smile.
"We brought you some food because believe us the food in the Hospital is horrible," James says placing a plate of treats in front of me.
"Thank you," I mutter.
"No problem Future Girl," Sirius says.
"We better go Pomfrey is about to do her 2am rounds and I don't exactly feel like being yelled at," Remus says.
"Bye Jillian."
I wake up with the sun shining from the windows and I want to go back to bed. "Miss Brewster you have to wake up if you expect to make it to breakfast on time," Pomfrey says shaking me. I groan but I sit up. The door opens a few moments after I realize I have nothing to wear.
"Morning Jillian," Lily says making her way to my bed. "I brought you a uniform from the trunk Dumbledore had delivered to our room."
"Thanks Lily you're a savior," I smile and take the outfit she is handing me. After changing she hands me a bag full of books I assume I will need for class.
"Save your praise," she laughs as I open my mouth to thank her again. "I don't need my ego getting as big as Potter's," she jokes. I chuckle to myself. Harry had told me how his mother despised his father before falling in to his charms as Sirius put it. "What," she asks curiously.
"Oh nothing," I say unable to help myself. "Shall we go to breakfast?" I ask and we make our way out of the Hospital Wing with her giving me weird looks.
"Ah. My Lily Flower," we hear a voice behind us and Lily picks up the pace. Yet much to her dismay they catch up with us. "Peter this is the new girl Jillian Brewster. Jillian this is Peter," James says pushing the rat in front of me. I hold my hatred back as I say hello to the person that kills more people than he could imagine.
"Potter can you leave me alone I am trying to escort Jillian to the Great Hall," Lily says and she tries to place space between the two groups.
"You see James has been trying to woo Lily since forever," Remus explains after James runs up to Lily and asks her out.
"Potter NO NO NO," Lily practically yells and James look disappointed. Lily storms ahead trying to lose Potter with no luck and Peter runs to keep up with James.
"So Future Girl you already know your way to the Great hall don't you?" Sirius asks smiling down at me as he slings an arm around me.
"Yes," I say and he smiles triumphantly.
"What year were you in?" he asks and I refuse to answer as I disentangle myself from him and walk in to the Great Hall. Lily is sitting down with Potter right next to her. Placing her bag between them she tries to ignore him as we join her.
"I just got done reading Hariot's guide to Vampire hunting and found it rather uninformative," Lily says changing the subject from her glowing eyes.
"I agree. I personally haven't read a good book on vampires. I think everyone is too scared to speak to them," I say.
"The best book I've read about them is Interview with a Vampire," Remus says. Sirius sits down to hear me and Lily laughing and feels the need to join in. Lily just laughs at him and I give him an amused smile.
"What?" Sirius asks sitting down next to me.
"It's a muggle book," Remus explains.
"Oh," Sirius says filling his plate. "This is what you get for talking about books. No one ever knows what you are talking about." Remus chuckles and Lily just rolls her eyes.
"Schedules," McGonagall says passing them out to the Gryffindor table.
"What's wrong with your schedule?" James asks Lily as Peter is engrossed in his schedule. "I thought you were taking extra classes."
"I turned in my time turner and dropped some classes after your incident," Lily says looking at me. "I didn't want to end up in some unfamiliar time. I can't believe how calm you are."
"Me either," I say but I know I have become good at bottling it all up. Seems like a good trait with all the spontaneous traveling I've been doing.
"Yeah I see why you did it Evans," James says. "Not seeing me for God knows how long."
"Now that you mention it," Lily says nicely and James grin doubles. "Maybe I should go ask for it back." Needless to say the grin disappeared.
August 8th, 1995
"I could seriously spend days reading all those books," I say to Hermione after her and the gang gave me the tour of the house; finishing with the library.
"Oh great another person we have to drag away from the library," Ron groaned. Hermione rolled her eyes and lays down on her bed book in hand. The house it's self was beautiful but it could use some warming up in more than one way. Looking for a sweater in my tiny bag if found none. What I did find was my mother's necklace. A golden locket. Opening it I saw a picture of me from three years ago and a picture of my mother and father by a black lake. I didn't notice that I was falling until my knees hit the ground.
"Jillian?" Hermione asked with worry in her voice.
"It's my fault. All my fault," I whisper as tears roll down my cheeks. I felt them rush over to me and the sound of a door opening.
"No, Jillian. It's not, don't say that," Ginny say placing a hand of my shoulder.
"He was looking for me. Voldemort was looking for me," I say dropping the rest of my body on to the floor. "She died to protect me." They were all looking at each other all awkward like but I really didn't care. I couldn't see them not really. I just saw my mom and a green light. "How could I have let that happened. I knew we were there for a reason. I should have known. And I just grabbed on to the bag and left her there," I cried. Harry pulled me in to a hug for the second time that day.
"There is nothing you could do. I know how you feel but there is nothing you can do except remember that she loved you," Harry tells me.
"But I killed her," I scream. Harry grabs my shoulders and looks at me in the eyes.
"Never say that. You didn't kill any one. Voldemort did this. Blame him. Don't blame yourself. You did nothing," Harry says and hugs me tight. I feel the other three join in on the hug. I don't see Sirius and Remus standing in the door way. Remus is holding Sirius back. Sirius wipes away his tears before shrugging off Remus's arm and retreating from the room.
