A/N: First off, I would like to add a disclaimer seeing as I have yet to do so. That's right, I don't own any of this other than the plot, and even that has somewhat been done before. I just got bored, and after taking a three year break from writing fan fiction, I decided I would write a new one to take my attention away from college work. So-there is my explanation.

Secondly: Thank you to my wonderful reviewers. I wish none of you to suffer a heart attack or be condemned to mental hospitals. –on that note, keep reviewing and I will keep writing.

STORY TIME

o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o0o

Hermione sat quiet and still in the oversized armchair that Dumbledore had told her to sit down in. His office, she noticed, had not changed much in the twenty years of him being headmaster.

"Ms. Granger," Dumbledore finally said, looking down at her over his half-moon glasses. "Am I right in assuming that you are not part of this time?"

Hermione nodded slowly, not sure how she would reply.

"Would you mind telling me the circumstances that led you here, so we might be able to get you back, if not sooner, than at all?"

"Yes sir," Hermione said softly, thinking quickly over how much she should tell him. "Well… yesterday a good friend and Order member was killed by a death eater, so while taking a portkey to the train platform, I used a time-turner that I had found to prevent his death…I don't understand it though, it disappeared as soon as I used it. I've never had one do that before…"

Dumbledore nodded at her. "Where did you find that particular time-turner, if you don't mind me asking?"

Hermione's eyes lit up with realization. "Grimold Place! How could I have been so stupid!" she groaned. "Who knows what Sirius' mom bewitched the objects in that house to do!"

"My guess," Dumbledore continued. "Is that the particular time-turner that you used had a powerful dark magic enchantment on it. And if I am correct in assuming you were speaking of the Blacks, you should also believe what I see as true."

Hermione nodded, still fighting the urge to kick her self.

"Can I ask though, what year is it in your time?"

"2006," Hermione said. "It's 1986 here, isn't it?"

Dumbledore nodded. "With what you said about Grimold Place and the Order, I assume that you will know some people here. It is imperative that few know about where you are from and be careful of what you do divulge.

"Yes sir."

"Seeing as you have already told students your name, we can't change that, so lets just say that you have been home schooled up to this point and you thought that spending your last 3 years of school at Hogwarts would benefit you. You will be placed in your year until we can find a way for you to go home. Agreed?"

Hermione nodded. "Will I need to be sorted again?"

Dumbledore smiled. "I don't see why that would be necessary, but let's do something about your robes." He waved his hands and her robes changed slightly to match those in her year.

"I will introduce you to the school tomorrow at breakfast. By then I would have informed the professors of you joining us here. For now, you may go to your common room; the rest of your house will be back from the feast. There will be a bed and some necessities for you in the girl's seventh year dorm"

"Thank you sir," Hermione replied. "What is the password?"

"Ah, yes. Of course. The password is flobberworm. I trust you know your way."

She smiled and stood up. "Thank you, sir."

Dumbledore nodded. "I will see you at breakfast. You will receive your schedule then."

"Thank you," Hermione said and walked out.

She braced herself outside of the portrait of the fat lady, took a deep breath, and said, "Flobberworm."

"Good luck dear," the fat lady said before swinging open.

The common room suddenly went quiet with her entrance, and every eye was upon here.

"Oy, Hermione!" She smiled as she heard Sirius' voice. "Come sit over here with us!"

Hermione made her way across the room and sat down beside Remus, noticing his glare.

"Remus, can I talk with you for a second?" Hermione said standing up and gesturing outside the common room.

He nodded at her and followed her out side the room.

"Listen, I just want to explain myself." Hermione started.

"Yeah," Remus said. "That would be nice."

Hermione looked around the hall and noticed students walking about. "This really isn't the place…here, follow me."

When they entered the Room of Requirement Hermione sat down and Remus followed suit.

"It really isn't a big deal that I know you are a werewolf, Remus. I noticed how pale you were, and I have a friend back home who is a werewolf, and I just noticed the similarities…I also have the lunar chart memorized."

Remus nodded. "Alright…I trust you."

"Good," she replied with a smile.

"So," Remus said, smiling back at her. "Do you mind telling me how you know where this room is?"

"Oh!" Shit, she thought. I'm supposed to be home schooled. "My uncle went to Hogwarts, and he told me about it. Cool isn't it, the Room of Requirement?"

"Yeah, it is." Remus replied. "Where are you from?"

"I've been home schooled up to this point."

"That's cool," Remus said, as a knock was heard at the door.

Remus and Hermione both looked at each other, not sure what to do, until they heard James' voice "Moony, can we come in?"

Hermione smiled and walked over to the door and opened it. "How'd you know we were here?" She asked as James and Sirius walked in, fully aware of a certain map they had in their possession.

"Magic m'dear." Sirius replied with a small bow and a smile. "So, what have you two been up to?"

"Talking," Remus answered. "On the train, Hermione let it known to me that she knew I was a werewolf, and I wanted to talk to her about it, obviously…"

James and Sirius looked at each other quickly. "How'd you know?" Sirius asked her, taking an empty seat.

"I have a friend back home who is a werewolf…I noticed that Remus showed the same signs as my friend does close to a full moon."

James nodded, taking a seat next to Sirius. "Well you don't seem like you would tell anybody then."

"No," Hermione replied. "I understand the seriousness of it. Besides, not really a good way to make new friends, by having people not trust me."

"True," Sirius replied. "So, where are you from anyway?"

"I was home schooled up until this year, and I wanted to spend my last 3 years in school at Hogwarts."

"You're a fifth year!" Sirius exclaimed excitedly. "We all are too! We'll have classes together!"

"Great," Hermione said with a smile, having already been aware of this.

"Hey Remus," James said looking at his friend. "Want to play a game of wizard's chess with me?" He asked while pulling a game out of his pocket.

"Sure,' Remus said moving across from James.

Sirius was watching the game between his two friends, and Hermione could not help but look at him. She still could not get over how full of life and happy he was.

Hermione jumped a little when she realized that Sirius was looking back at her, and glared at him when he started laughing.

"Let me take you on a tour of the castle" He said walking over to her.

"Isn't it past curfew?" Hermione asked, knowing that it was.

"I can take care of that," he replied.

Hermione watched as Sirius made his was over towards James, and was handed an invisibility cloak that she knew of only too well.

She stood up, as Sirius approached her and threw the cloak over the both of them.

"Come on," he said with a smile. "James and Remus are going to sneak back to the dorms when they get tired, so let's go."

Sirius led Hermione outside of the Room of Requirement, and into the beautiful castle.
