AN: Squeal to Pick Your Wizard. Hermione traveled back in time with her cousin Anne, and friend Char to the be with their sixteen year old Severus Snape, Remus Lupin, and Sirius Black, to change things for the better.

AN: I own nothing.

Ch. 10

Anne and Hermione were in the bedroom that they were still being locked up in, to where they had no idea of what was going on in the outside world. Then an idea had reached Anne, to where she whispered something into Hermione's ear, "I believe we should use God into this battle, don't you?"

"What do you mean, Anne? Most of the people in the Wizarding World don't even believe in anything like that and I don't even know if Voltemort believes anything else being a God other than himself."

Anne smiled, "That is because they are following the ways of the Devil, so why would there not be a God to counteract it? Why don't we just pray and see what we could come up with?"

"You have a point on that."

They sat down upon their knees; as they prayed, the Dark Lord of the Wizarding World came into the room seeing the two girls upon the floor. He became very unhappy seeing it, because every time he saw someone upon their knees without bagging for mercy then something very unpleasant would come his way. Voltemort knew ways that people believed that their was another high beaning in the world that would protect them or render them to the depths of Hades if it was so. It was one of the reasons that he wanted to live forever; knowing that he would be in the fires in no time, once his last breath would have left him. He would not have it. He spoke with darkness rolling off of his beaning, "What are you two doing? No God will help you now, now that you are in the ever darkness of my domain."

Neither of the two girls spoke. "ANSWER ME! I am not the type of Lord that would wait for every long for answers!"

Both Hermione and Anne looked up with shining white light coming from their eyes and spoke as one, which brought a great power throughout the room. "You will not hurt us! You have no power of the souls of the pure of heart, no matter of the pure of blood of you Wizards."

Voltemort would never show his weakness to anyone, but the voices that came from the two girls were none that he had ever heard of before. He knew then that the girls were not themselves but other beaning that hide within the world that held so much power than he had ever had wished for and knew it was too pure for him to even hold it. "What magic do you hold?"

"None that can be given, without a price upon your life Dark Wizard."

"Thought so, what about the price of your love one's?"

"Then you will not live." The girls stood up and held each other's hand, as they faced the Dark Lord alone.

"Give me your power and I will leave your loved ones alone."

"Like you were planning for Severus Snape to Lily Evans, when he had planned to join you?"

"WHO TOLD YOU ABOUT THAT?"

"No one of this world Tom Riddle," when upon hearing his true name his normal blue eyes became red. He told his followers to never speak of his true name and he killed those who spoke his name.

"You two will die tonight."

"Not before you."

xXx

As the men in Albus Dumbledore's office had finished planning for their rescue of Hermione Granger and Anne McBride; they were standing up to head out of the office when Severus Snape came to the now opened door and saw that everyone was heading out. He blocked the door, "Whatever you are planning, I am coming too."

Albus with his sparkling eyes, "Then come, but don't stand in the way of what to is to come."

"Deal," Severus spoke in his drawn out voice.

As one unit; all the men made their way to the front gates of the castle, where most of the students saw their headmaster with an aura and three students running through the halls of the castle. As the castle has been known as; word has gone out that Hermione and Anne were in the hands of the most well known dark wizard, and is known that no one would escape from him. The five men were at the front gates within a matter of a half an hour, do to many people were in the halls watching them. Albus Dumbledore dug out a portkey from his pockets, which happened to be an old leather book, where everyone had grabbed a peace of it. With a swirling motion later, the group found themselves in the Northern part of Ireland; a fishing town of Coleraine. It has a small island just north of the fishing town that the locals had avoided at all coasts.

Sirius Black was leading the group to the pear where the fishing boats were being docked for the night. He looked around for a boat that his family had known to have in the area, due to this family wanting to out do the muggles in many things with the aid of magic, while the muggles wondered how they had catch the many fish that they had. He lead the group to the Black Diamond that was docked just a hundred yards from where they had portkeyed to. Everyone had gotten upon the boat and cast off of the shore, with Sirius at the helm, stirring the boat towards the northern part of the island that was just off shore of Coleraine.

Severus stood tall; spoke with his dark vibrate waves of his voice, "How do you know of this island Black?"

"You forgot who I am family with Snape. My mother had brought me out here to meat your Dark Lord and it did not end well with my family from then on. She was the every since of the word witch from the muggle's viewpoints from the dark ages the night that I came home from seeing him and told me to pack up and to never come back again."

Mad Eye made a grump sound, "What is the layout of the island, from the time that you had gone there?"

"Where we are about to land is the only way that is safe to get upon the island, where three blind witches of fate will stop us and if we are worthy of them and then we will head toward's the castle."

"Blind witches of fate is nothing but a story boy! Now tell us what we need to know?!"

Albus looked over the sea as he spoke, "Alaster, he is telling the truth. I know these sisters and they will tell us how we can go through his castle, now stop with this useless chatter."

After a short time later; Sirius stirred the boat to shore, where the group had gone back to using the feet for a few minutes until they were faced with the three blind witches of fate. Three out of five men were not happy to see the three witches.

The elder of the three spoke, "We three witches of fate, are blind but still see of what has come and will come."

The middle and slightly younger, "Only one of you have been here before. Tell us; the eldest son of Black, who turned white do to his own power."

The youngest, "We know why you have come back, but is it enough to stop the One who would destroy all?"

Albus raise his hand to stop Sirius from speaking and said, "Tell us ladies what we need to know and we will be on our way."

The three witches spoke as one, "We three witches of blind fate, have been known by Shakespeare himself. We know all and see all. Ask us what you want to know."

Albus spoke with headed knowledge of what he wanted to know, "Two young withes are with the Dark One, Hermione Granger and Anne McBride, we are here to take them home. Now tell us what we need to know."

"These two are faced with a test from the Maker of All; He will use his energy through them to stop the Dark One, they will combined their power to one."

"No other power will stop them from destroying him."

"It is unwritten of how it will end."

Severus spoke up, "There has to be away to make sure that they will live. They have to live!"

"Worry not young dark-ling who is no longer dark. You five warriors need to be there for the two ladies, before they least the endless light upon the Dark One."

Remus Lupin spoke with is amber color eyes in a blaze with anger, "Tell us what we need to know!"

"Calm yourself Wolf, for we will tell you what you must do."

"You must be there for them, once the power of the Endless Light leaves them, they must be surrounded by those that love them."

Mad Eye growled out, "How are they going to do that, with us still standing here?"

"We will help you."

The three witches grabbed each other's hands and walked in a circle, all three moaning like the banshees in the wind. "We three witches of fate, summon the Sword of Macbeth to guide these five wizards to the two ladies that they seek." Out of thin air a bright light of white-blue came upon them and like a flash the light was gone and in it's place was an old sword of the old world of Scotland of the Clan of long ago. "This sword will be your guiding light, to find the two that you seek. Go now, before it is too late."

With that the Headmaster of Hogwarts, an old rugged man, and three young teenagers followed the sword into the night. Running like the gates of hell was upon them, as they made their way across the island as they followed the sword. The only thing coming into each of their minds, was that were they going to be there in time.

xXx

Voltemort was standing before Anne McBride and Hermione Granger, who were upon their knees looking at him with white light coming out of their eyes. He was fearful of what was yet to come to him; for he had a bad feeling that no good would come before him, well not to him that is. He called out for someone from the hallway to come into the room with him, who ended up being Peter the rat of his friends.

"Yes my Lord," stuttered Peter.

"What are these two ladies doing? I have never heard of anything like this before. I need you to call the three witches of this island to come here, if you have no answer to give to me."

"My Lord, please don't get mad. I have heard word of things like this happening to young women who are The Lighted One's children who would do great things through his power, but at a price."

"What kind of price Peter?"

"For those who don't follow the Lighted One would not survive whatever it was thrown at them."

Voltemort with his red eyes, glanced over at the two who were upon their knees. "Tell me of what I should know."

Anne and Hermione spoke as one, "You will not survive after this night. The world will be in a better place without you in it."

"That will not happen. I live forever."

"Nothing lives forever, not even you Tom."

Both of the girls stood up and were surrounded by the light that was unlike any light that was upon the earth and engulfed the room. With a sharp sound of a male scream rang out within the room, where Albus Dumbledore and his four companions came upon the room with the sword leading them within. Albus sighed that could be over heard from the scream, "Tom, you should of known when to stop all of this madness before it had begun."

Once the light was flashed out; the group of people saw a sixteen year old boy, who not many people have ever seen before. Only one had and he had a sad look upon his face as he walked toward the dying boy upon the floor. The boy looked up to Albus with a scared look upon his face, "What is happening to me?"

"The end of your life Tom. The very thing that you have been running away from for over fifty years and now it is time for you to die. It is time for you to find your mother Tom. If you had only asked, I would of told you who she was."

"Who was she then?"

"A pureblood woman who ran away from her family's beliefs, she wanted only the best for you Tom. This is not the best to punish those that had wronged her. You should have ended the evil before it started and you would have a better life Tom."

"What? Love someone who would never love me, like my father had done to my mother?"

"What happened to Sandra McDougle, she cared for you so very much?"

Tom closed his eyes for a moment, "I pushed her away Dumbledore, you knew that and all I ever wanted was power. She did not want anything that I was into, all she talked about was to travel the world, to find the place to raise her family. Did she ever have that family Albus?"

"No she didn't Tom, for one of your Death Eater's had killed her a year after you graduated. No one knew who had done it. She was in Rome at the time."

"Rome? The place that she wanted me to travel with her to and I told her that I had other plans for myself." The dying boy coughed up some blood, "I see Sandra."

"Then go to her Tom."

With his last breath; the being known as Tom Riddle Jr. was then died upon the floor of the old Shakespearean castle, where no one shed one tear for him. Albus then turned around and saw Remus Lupin with Anne McBride in his arms, whispering his love towards her nodding head as she drift to sleep. He then looked over to Severus Snape with Hermione Granger in his arms, he saw a smile upon both of their faces.

Severus smiled, "Hi."

Hermione smiled back, "Hi." Then she fell asleep in his arms.

Albus then looked around and saw Sirius standing over Peter, "Why did you join him Peter?"

"I wanted to survive and I did not care how I had done it. So I followed who had the most power and he had more power then any of our group had."

"You had picked wrong then, goodbye Peter." Then Peter was being held out by Alaster Moody by the scruff of his neck. Squealing as he did so.

Albus Dumbledore walked over to Sirius Black and laid a hand upon his shoulder, "I am sorry that you have lost a friend Mr. Black, but all things happen for a reason you know."

"I know sir, but nothing is easy is it?"

"No, it sure isn't. Let's get the girls back to Hogwarts where they can be looked over and where you can be reunited with Miss Nolan again."

Sirius smiled, "As you wish Headmaster."

Ch. 11

Anne McBride and Hermione Granger woke up in the hospital wing of Hogwarts, three days after their ordeal. The nurse in charge had explained to the staff and to their friends that they were over exhausted from their over use of their joined powers to defeat Voltemort on their own. The wizardering world was not given much information on what had happened and how it was possible. All anyone could come up with, was that Hermione and Anne has used their joined powers and knowledge to bring the Dark Lord down on their very own. The rumors around the school was even worse than what was expected for Remus Lupin and Severus Snape to even imagine; both guys had gotten into many fights with some people around the school because of some of those rumors, one rumor was said that the girls were more than personal slaves for the now dead Dark Lord.

Remus Lupin sat beside Anne's bed as she slept; while Severus was walking the room, waiting for Hermione to wake up. Remus was starting to get a little agitated with Severus, "Would you sit down already, before I make you."

"Oh hush Wolf, before I chain you up somewhere. Why haven't they waken up yet? It has been three days."

Remus sighed, "Yes, it has been three days, but you have to understand with that much power flowing through you and draining you at the same time, you will experience an extreme drainage. No matter the age or the experience that you have with your own magic, it is bound to happen."

Severus growled, "Wolf, if I wanted to know all of that, I would have learned it through the bookworms that we have at the school, including Lily Evens. What I want to know is when Hermione is going to wake up? I really didn't know like how the Dark Lord just took the girls and held them the way he did, but he also had to take Black to find them again. What I am going to do to him for having him to help me, is beyond me?"

Just when Remus was about to respond, a big looking black hairy dog came running into the hospital wing with James Potter at it's heals. "Come back Padfoot or you are going to find yourself nut less." The black dog stopped running and crawled under Anne's bed, hoping to find safety from James coming after him with that threat that he had made. James looked up and with a sad smile, "Hi Remus, any change?"

"No James, no change. What is Padfoot doing running around? He needs to go."

"I have been trying to get him to go outside for a while now, and he just ran down the halls until he came here. It looks like he is not moving from under Anne's bed."

Remus leaned down and was reaching for Padfoot when he heard a growl from under the hospital bed. "You're not staying Padfoot, you have to go." The black dog growled again and then moved away from Remus and licked one of Anne's hands that was leaning over the edge of her bed.

Anne mumbled, "Be a good dog and listen."

Remus looked up at Anne, "Anne? Can you hear me, love?"

"Remus," smiled a sleeping Anne, who mumbled his name.

Remus did not care if she was asleep or not, she was happy to hear her say his name again, even though it was in her sleep. Padfoot had gotten upon his hide legs and licked her checks until she woke up laughing. She woke up smiling and rubbing her hands all over Padfoot's face, as if to prove the dog that she was well and alive. "Okay, down boy."

Padfoot then gotten down upon the floor again, with a smile upon his face. Remus reached for Anne and wrapped her in his arms, hoping that it was not a dream and that she was really awake. "Hi Remus."

With Anne still in his arms, "Don't ever leave me again. And no more fighting wars on your own."

"I'll try not to," Anne then kissed Remus upon his lips, and he lost all other thought.

Severus was not very happy about all the mush that he was watching, he wanted Hermione to wake up. Then he felt a hand upon his arm, which caused him to look down and saw an open eyed Hermione looking up towards him, with a smile upon her face. "I am happy that everyone is alright."

"I forbid you to ever go out of my sight, do you hear me?"

"I hear you, but I am not making any promises, or I may disappoint you."

Severus then gave his girlfriend one of his rare smiles, upon his face. "Then I am going to have to ask you to marry me, as soon as we graduate."

Hermione laughed, "No unless we marry the same time with Anne and Remus, and also Char and Sirius?"

Severus made a soft growl and then said, "Alright, but I am not going to have Potter marrying on the same day."

"Deal."

Then Severus brought Hermione into his arms and kissed her, as if his life was ending and bring more life into her.

As the two couple kissed their hearts away; James Potter and now human Padfoot/Sirius Black leaned against the door, just as they were heading out of the door. James asked, "So what really happened on that island Sirius?"

He smiled at his long time friend and almost brother, "I can't say James, but I feel ever so enlightened from all the experience; to where I want to settle down and have a family, as soon as I marry Char that is. I no longer want to live my life on the fast and dangerous road anymore. I am going to find something else to do in my life that would not get myself and my family killed. I think you should also think about it too."

James lost his smile, "Like what kind of job are you thinking about doing Sirius?"

"I was thinking about being a curse breaker and not go into law enforcement, or Char would be worried about me if I were to do so."

James looked over to where he saw Remus and Anne, just holding each other and talking to each other softly, as if it were a few moments that they had for that day. Then he looked at Sirius and smiled, "Maybe I should join you and maybe have Remus on board have our own business doing so. It would help me with Lily, to where she won't be upset with me being out in all hours of the night worrying."

Sirius grabbed James's arm, "Come James, lets let these love birds alone."

xXx

A few more days had past; Anne and Hermione were once again in the Great Hall for lunch, on a weekend no less. They were sitting at the Gryffindor table with their many friends. Remus managed to get Anne to sit upon his lap, without the teachers noticing; with is left arm wrapped around her. Hermione was sitting next to Anne, trying to shoo Remus away, so they could talk. Everyone was laughing at seeing such a sight; Lily was kicking Remus from under the table.

Lily glared, "Would you let her go, so she could eat a meal in peace. I know that you have missed her, but come on. She wasn't dying or anything."

Remus glared back, "I almost lost her to Him, so let me have my way, or I will have James take you somewhere to do what he has been dreaming about doing to you."

"What?! You wouldn't? He is worse than someone with eight arms, even with just two of them."

Remus smiled darkly, "Then you leave me alone on how I want to show my emotions with Anne, now won't you?"

James laughed, "Come on Remus, can you hold yourself for a couple of more weeks before the holiday to be that close to Anne. She just came out of the hospital wing today; she may have to go back for a break, if you are not careful."

"No," growled Remus, "that will not happen."

Sirius laughed, "Moony; not now. You can be a wolf later tonight if you wish, but not now."

Remus leaned into Anne and rubbed his nose on her neck, "You'll be there, right love?"

Anne smiled her warrior wolf, "If you want me to, I will."

Hermione smiled, "I guess Severus will be with all of us too then?"

James grumbled, "I don't think so."

Lily glared, "Then you are staying behind to be with me then, if you are not going to play nicely. I know I can't go, I will need someone to be with me, while everyone is out there. Why not having my man to be with me?"

James smiled; the only way that he could with Lily, he then wrapped his arm around her, "I think I can do that."

Everyone had laughed at James for the attics that he was doing, for all could tell that he would do anything for his Lily flower. Sirius was happy for all of his friends and himself, as he had wrapped his arm around Char, who was laughing at her friends. He could tell that she was happy to have them back for the experience that they had gone through, from the time they were up against Voldemort to the hospital wing. When he came back to the school, he was the one who told her what had happened to her two friends, she ended up falling asleep making love to him that night, from the stress that she was under and needed to find a release in something other than hurting someone. That morning; he slipped a ring upon her finger for her to think about, and all he got for it was attack of kisses and yelling of yeses for his troubles.

Char smiled, "I think we should start planning for what we will be doing after graduation? Even where we will be living, or something. I mean, we only have a few months left of school and have no clue of what we are going to do?"

Hermione said, "You have a point there Char. I know that Severus is going to come back as a Potions teacher, maybe I should think about being a teacher here as well."

Anne smiled, "Not a bad idea Hermione. I was planning on being a writer or something, it has always been my dream."

Char said, "I could work as a healer."

Lily said, "Same here."

Sirius said, "Well I know what I am planning on doing and that it has nothing to do with law enforcement. Remus, how would you feel about going into business with James and I, as curse breakers?"

Remus with the most shock look upon his face that turned into a smile, "I . . . yes. I will be grateful to work with you guys."

Sirius and James spoke as one, "Good."

Remus had gotten up from his seat and leaped across the table and hugged his two friends. Besides having Anne as a girlfriend, he would not know what else would have made him as happy as his friends had just made him. He was worried that he would not be able to find work, when it was time to leave the school and provide for future family. He then looked over at Anne, who was hugged by her own friends; he knew that everything will be alright, from that moment one.

Severus was looking over from his own table and saw the happy and go lucky people around Hermione. He heard them laughing and talking loudly about what jobs that they were doing in the future. He could not help but smile when he heard Hermione say what he was going to do, and that she would have to be a teacher as well, so they could be together. He hid his smile well, when he heard that. He was lucky to have her in his life, even though she was from the future and they were together because of a marriage law, but she still cared for him.

xXx

Later that night; six teenagers were in the Shrieking Shack, where they waited for Remus Lupin to change into his wolf form for the night. Severus was already in his leaped form with Hermione in her tiger from. Sirius and Char were running around in their dog forms, chasing each other around the room. Remus had Anne in his arms, rubbing his hands up and down her sides, trying to control his wondering hunger of wanting her in every which way that he would like. He wanted to wait until marriage before going to far with Anne, he knew that she loved him, and he was happy that she has not pushed or made things worse for him.

Remus could feel that Moony wanted to come out and do whatever he wanted to do, but he was doing his best to push the wolf back as much as he can. He knows that Anne is not afraid of his wolf but he still did not want to hurt her, now matter what he does. Then he started to feel the pain, the pain of the wolf coming through, he almost glazed Anne's neck with his teeth, he lightly shoved her away before his nails started growing with the pain that came. Anne changed into her wolf form, where she waited for her wolf mate to come. Remus fell onto his hands and knees, with a swift move later he became a werewolf before the eyes that were in the room with him.

Moony was on all fours; he glanced up when his transformation was complete and saw his wolf angel before him, who he had nuzzled for a few minuets. When he licked her behind her ears and knew that she was his, he would never let her go.

Padfoot chosen that time to come out of no where and pounce on Moony, who growled a warning at him for trying to mess his time away from his girl. Then he turned around and jumped upon Sirius's back, which caused him to pin Padfoot upon the floor, and growled as he pit onto the back to the neck. Which told Sirius that he went too far with Moony that day.

After a while; the six animals had gone off running into the night, to enjoy what time that they can, before the sun rose the next day.

xXx

The next morning the animals woke up to Remus stretching, very loudly; he woke up with his she-wolf laying next to him, and he was very happy to have her next to him. He had no additional scaring from the night before, for the most part; his scaring has not come whenever Anne was near him. The others turned back to their normal selves, but Anne stayed as a wolf for a little while longer, due to the tiredness that she was experiencing.

Hermione moved over to where Anne was and rubbed her face, "Turn back Anne, you can't go into the school looking like a wolf."

Remus sighed, "She can't, she is too tired to change back Hermione. If she does, she is going to do more harm to herself when doing so."

Sirius asked, "What are we going to do then, don't we head back home tomorrow?

Remus picked Anne up into him arms, while she was still in her wolf form. "We will take her to Poppy, she will know what to do."

Severus grabbed Remus by the arms, "No we don't, I know a few things that may be able to help out." The only thing Remus was able to do was nod and hope that Snape knew what he was doing.

Severus pulled out his wand and waved it over Anne's tired body. The glow came back with a lilac purple color; which told him all he needed to know, "She is very tired. She stayed up all night watching out for all of us that she forgot to get some rest herself, when we head back to give to her dorms, I will give you a mild vile of pepper-up that I have for her. I have made some of it for her in the past; for the nights that she stayed up studying, before the big test the next day. So I have been doing this for her, but like I have said, it is only mild."

Remus smiled, "Thanks Severus; for watching out while I could not."

Severus gave one of his very few smiles, "Don't worry about that Remus, in due time she would be my cousin-in-law. So in a way; I am looking after my family Lupin."

After that was said; everyone made their way into the castle without been spied upon, they had managed to slip into their dorm room and gave Anne her potion that was needed for her to pick right up for the day. But she would still need a short nap before it had started to become into effect. In the mean time; Severus pulled Hermione away from the others and kissed her soundly, for he had enjoyed running around in animal form chasing after Hermione for half the night. It made him feel like he was free from rules and restrictions and so forth. Severus had rubbed his left hand upon her right cheek; as if to tell Hermione that she was all his, and no one was going to take her away from him.

Once Anne was awake once again; everyone made their way into the Great Hall, but before they had reached there Professor McGonagall had stopped them on the stairs leading to the Entrance Hall. "Stop right there." The group of six teenagers had stopped upon the stairs and turned around. "You are wanted in the Headmaster's office."

Sirius spoke up, "We were on our way to breakfast professor."

"Not anymore you're not. The Headmaster wants you there now."

"Yes ma'am," was all that was said for the group before turning around and heading for the Headmaster's office.

It had taken them ten minuets for them to pass the gargoyle; who just let them pass without uttering a password, and made their way outside of the door. The door then opened without a problem and once everyone was in the office, the Headmaster took very little time to say what he wanted to have said. "Thank you for coming on short noticed. I have been getting reports from your teachers lately and I have found no reason but to let you all graduate by the end of this year and not have you wait until the next; for all of you are in top all of your classes, which I am shock to say the least for Mr. Black."

Sirius laughed, "What do you mean sir, I opened the book and read."

"Now that is a shock, if I have ever heard one," whispered Dumbledore. Which caused everyone to laugh at hearing their Headmaster, saying such a thing about Sirius Black. "Now; what I would like to know is when you would like to take your finals?"

Char spoke up, "How about just after the winter holidays sir? That way we have some time to spend with each other and some studying for what we need to have done."

"I was more hoping for tonight to have it all done."

Hermione squeaked, "But sir?! What about the seventh year stuff, are we not in need to study for that stuff too?"

"No you will not. Seventh year is all wand work or hands on work with the potions, nothing really new. You just do a run through from what you know from first year and on into practice and iron out the bugs that most students would need to do before facing the world." Dumbledore than asked, "So; what say you?"

Remus sighed, "We'll do it sir."

"Good. Now go down to the kitchens and get something to eat and when you are done, meet up in the Room of Requirement and start having your test there."

Sirius asked, "What about James Potter and Lily Evans sir?"

"What about them?"

"Are they going to be tested out as well?"

"You shall see after you are done with your breakfast, now won't you Mr. Black?"

"Yes sir." With that everyone had left the Headmaster's office, without seeing a twinkle in his eye, who always seem to get when he knew something that no one else seems to know.
