Thank you to all of those who reviewed my last chapter. I really appreciate it.
Sorry for such a short chapter last time, I hope this chapter makes up for it.

Hermione woke up to the yells of Lilly Evens who was running around the room complaining about being late, while her two other roommates, who Hermione was yet to be introduced to, sat on their beds in amusement.
One of the two girls, a small pretty girl with piercing eyes, jet black hair and tanned skin was the first to realize that their new room mate was awake and jumped off her bed over towards Hermione.
"Hi," she said, as Hermione hopped down from her own bed. "I'm Annalisa Patil, most people just call me Anna."
"Hermione Granger," Hermione replied with a smile.
The other girl that Hermione didn't recognize now walked up to her. "I'm Molly Flitwick, my dad's a professor here. And that-" she said pointing towards Lilly. "Is Lilly Evens, who doesn't believe twenty minutes is enough to make it down to breakfast."
Hermione laughed. "Nice to meet you, all," she replied.
"You too!" Lilly yelled from the bathroom.

On the way down to breakfast, the three girls pointed out corridors and rooms to Hermione not knowing that she knew her way around.
Hermione was not surprised to see the Great Hall to be the same as it was in her time. Some of the professors up at the front were different, but besides the faces of who was there, all was the same.
When they walked over to the table to where Sirius, James and Remus were sitting, Lilly, Anna and Molly continued walking. Hermione however, sat down beside Remus and waved to the others to continue walking to where they were headed.
"Meet your room mates then?" Sirius asked, smiling at her.
"Yup," Hermione replied, taking a bite of scrambled eggs. "They all seem pretty nice."
"Yeah…"James said, watching Lilly as she sat down at the opposite end of the table.
"How long have you liked Lilly?" Hermione asked him.
"Huh?" He asked being snapped back into reality by Sirius' elbow.
Sirius laughed. "Since he saw her, though she can't stand him very much as you can see." He said pointing to where she was sitting. "Why else would you think she'd sit such a distance down?"
Hermione shrugged as the Hall suddenly went silent. The four of them looked up to see Dumbledore standing at the front of the Hall.
"If I could just have your attention for a few short moments," he started. "Your Head of Houses will now begin to hand out your schedules for the year. Also, we have a new student joining us who has been placed in Gryffindor." He paused, "Hermione, will you please stand?"
She did as she was told, much to her embarrassment. "This is Hermione Granger, she has been home schooled up to this point, and I would like all of you to welcome her to Hogwarts."
As the school applauded for her she sat down quickly and hid her face out of embarrassment.
After the news of a new student had died down a bit, Hermione continued in conversation with Remus about classes. McGonagall made her way over to them and introduced herself to Hermione.
"It's nice to meet you professor," She said sincerely.
McGonagall handed her a schedule. "Since you were unable to pick out your own classes, Dumbledore placed you in those he thought would suit you."
Hermione nodded and thanked her.
Remus, looking over her shoulder, laughed. "You've been placed into the same classes as James, Sirius, Peter and I."
Hermione smiled and then looked around. "Where is Peter?" She asked him.
"Sleeping," was Sirius' reply. "That rat cannot be woken up. You'll see that he misses many early classes."
"Hey," Hermione said looking down at her schedule. "We have McGonagall first."
"Yup," James replied. "With Ravenclaw…sounds fun."
"We should get going," Remus stated. "If we actually want to get there on time for a change."
"Why start now?" Sirius asked with a grin.
Remus stood up and looked at Hermione, who shrugged and stood up with him. As the turned out of the Hall, Sirius and James made their way beside them.

James and Sirius took their usual desk at the back of the room and Remus followed to sit in the desk to their left. Hermione smiled and sat on Remus' right, beside Sirius, who raised his eyebrows at her.
McGonagall walked in and magically shut the door behind her. They spent the lesson going over what they had already learned in the past four years in order to prepare for upcoming OWLs.
After class McGonagall pulled Hermione aside, shooing Sirius, James and late arriving Peter out of the door.
"Yes professor?" Hermione asked.
McGonagall paused to think about what she was going to say. "The Headmaster has informed me on your circumstance of being here Ms. Granger, and I just wanted to say if you ever need someone that I will be here for you."
"Thank you professor, I will most definitely remember that." Hermione said sadly.
"The Headmaster and I are researching on how to get you back to your time period Hermione. Be patient."
Hermione smiled up at her. "I will, thank you."
McGonagall nodded. "If I am not mistaken, there are some boys waiting outside of my room for you, you might not want to keep them waiting anymore."
"Yes Professor," Hermione said with a smile, and opened the door inwards, causing Sirius to fall over at her feet.
Hermione rolled her eyes at him and helped him stand up.
"We're going back to the common room," Remus said as they started walking. "We have a free period right now."
"And nothing better to do," James added angrily.
"What's your problem?" Hermione asked.
Sirius started laughing as James looked down at the floor. "Evens turned him down again."
Hermione smiled at him. "Maybe you should stop trying to get her so much, then maybe she can actually see you for who you are."
"A prat," Sirius answered, and ducked as James tried to hit him. They continued play- fighting all the way to the common room and through the portrait hole.
