A/N: So i changed the time line a teeny bit... sorry

The girl awoke again, "What does he mean by 'play along?" Sirius asked as he looked over at the waking girl. "He means whatever she says, just agree with. If you can't do that then leave. It would really help if you stayed though. Where's Remus?" James answered. "Lupin?" the girl asked as she sat up quick, "Last I saw he was fighting a death eater, Tonks was looking for him as well. I do hope they're okay." She said and all three students stared at her curiously, "Ted Tonks?" Sirius asked first, "No, Nymphadora," She answered, wasn't Ted dead? Or was he talking about the baby? "Oh yes of course. How...stupid of me..." He said before sitting back, watching on curiously. "What's the war about?" Lily asked, and the girl felt bile at the back of her throat, fighting back the urge to spit she answered sharply, "Equality amongst wizards. Those bigoted Slytherin Pure-Bloods don't think I deserve to be a witch because none of my parents are magic. I'm the front girl of this war." Lily absorbed the information, making note to dissect it later. It was now James' turn to ask a question, but he couldn't decide on what to ask. "Umm, so this war no. Har-no Am I dea- Who are you?" He finally chose. "Sorry, I'm not used to people knowing my name, I'm usually known by association, I'm not egotistical or arrogant or anything. I don't see myself as famous... My name is Hermione Granger and I'm just a mudblood."

Lily blushed heavily, whilst Sirius stood up fast, sitting down almost immediately after to stand again. "Don'-! Don't EVER Call yourself that. You are not some filthy blooded creature. You don't deserve to be called such a vicious name. Your blood is red just like everyone else's, I can see it all over your clothes. Don't let anyone call you that name!" He said, waving his hands around like a mad man. "Why? What do you care? Who are you?" Hermione asked back, intrigued but with a touch of irritation in her tone. She was trying to make a point, not crying. "I'm Sirius Black." He answered and Hermione's jaw dropped in shock, "That's impossible! You're dead! I was at your funeral for merlins sake. I watched you die! Bellatrix killed you! I saw! I saw!" She shouted before collapsing back on her bed, the injuries to stressed to keep her awake. "Quick call Dumbledore! She's dying!" Madam Pomfrey shouted, dashing about for random potions. "This one!"


Hermione felt a tear roll down her face. She was at Sirius' funeral, only there wasn't a body. Just a big, empty box. She looked over at Harry sympathetically, he had lost everything. Now was not the time to be proclaiming undying love and affection. So instead she chose to hold his hand, squeezing it hard. Showing him she still cared. He turned back and smiled slightly, gratefully, though Hermione couldn't miss the tears that filled his eyes and rolled slowly down his face. He was truly broken, now wasn't the time.


Hermione breathed deep, feeling her life re-enter her body. She sat up quick. "What is going on!" She screamed, but received no answer. "I'm Sirius (pun intended) You can't be here! There is a war going on and you're all fucking dead! Oh shit. Oh shit Oh shit! I'm dead." The three students, Dumbledore and Pomfrey looked at her, not knowing what to make of the whole situation. No! That's impossible, remarkably brilliant but impossible none-the-less. Well what is can it be? Worth a try, Dumbledore thought "Hermione, what year is it?" He asked slowly. She just looked at the dead professor as if he was stupid. "The same year it was yesterday." She answered just as slowly as he asked. "Miss?" Dumbledore asked, a tad faster this time. "Granger..." Hermione answered curiously, he knew her name. "Miss Granger, was it 1978 yesterday?" He asked and it all clicked. "This is impossible, Bellatrix was torturing me, next I wake up in 1978? No the only way that could have happened would be through the time-turner. But I was nowhere near in. Unless there's a spell. But who would have cast it? No, I've read almost all the books in the library and there are NO time traveler spells. Books... Harry!" Hermione mumbled to herself, earning her an odd look from all the other occupants of the infirmary.


Hermione walked over to Harry, ready to congratulate him but was barged out of the way by Ginny Weasley. Inconsiderate Weasles! Watch out, starting to sound like Malfoy. She thought as she took another step. Managing to catch said Weasel snogging the face off her best friend. Fabulous she thought as she turned and left the room. Tears threatening to fall. Ginny doesn't like him! Ginny likes the boy who lived! Fucking gold digger that's all she is! Hermione sneered, but quickly wiped the look off her face. She doesn't know that, I mean it looks like that, but maybe she cares for just Harry... I missed my chance, I can't start getting jealous over her. She's one of my best friends. After Harry and Ron of course.

"Ah Hermione, I've been wanting to talk to you." Cormac Mclaggen, great. "Hey, are you okay? You look upset?" What gave it away? Was it the whole crying ordeal? "No, I'm fine, what did you want to talk to me about?" She asked, fighting the urge to be sarcastic. "Slughorn's party, do you want to go with me?" He asked, smiling flirtatiously. "No I was going to go with Har-I'd love to." She corrected herself, Harry would be going with Ginny. "Oh good. It'll be fun. So are we... an item now?" Cormac asked nervously. Hermione was about to knock some sense into the boy but saw a flash of raven. I'll show Harry I don't need him She thought spitefully as she grabbed Mclaggen's tie and pulled him into a kiss, sealing his surprised mouth with her own. "Miss Granger, Mr Mclaggen, take a step back. Unfortunately I can't take points away for public displays of affection. But I can if you're not in your not in your common room in the next ten minutes." Snape scowled as he passed the students. The two students nodded and walked off, Hermione walking faster ahead. What have I done?


"Black?" Sirius asked, and Hermione just stared back confused at having pulled back out of her own little world. "Bellatrix, is it black?" He asked again "Lestrange. Sorry it's 1978, so yeh Black." She answered uninterestedly. "She marries that Lestrange prick. Ugh. What happened?" He answered, "What do you mean?" Hermione asked, suddenly intrigued. "What, does she give up on the dark lord?" He asked amused. "Oh Merlin No! Nonononono. But Lestrange has money." The three students nodded as if this suddenly made sense. "Dumbledore I heard you were in here... I need to go... Hi, my name's Remus Lupin. You're the girl who landed on James right?" Remus asked as he walked into the infirmary. "Yep that's me. I already know who you are though. My name's Hermione Granger." Remus nodded, intrigued and a tad creeped out. "Right, and how do you know me?" He asked, a little scared that she may know his secret. "I'm from the future. I can't tell you much about it there though sorry." Remus nodded, a little bit disappointed. "Well can you answer me one question?" He asked, he just needed to know. "Other than the one you just asked? Sure." Hermione answered, smiling. Remus nodded, but before he had a chance to ask Dumbledore left the infirmary, Remus got the message and followed him out of the room.

"So that was Remus. Who's this Nymphadora bird anyway?" James' asked, and Lily shot him a disapproving look, "Promise not to tell?" Hermione said, and both students made their way onto her bed, preparing for some big piece of gossip material. "We promise." They lied. "His future wife, they have a kid together..." James sat mouth agape, whilst Lily managed to hide her shock a lot better. "I have to tell him! He thinks he's going to die alone." Hermione shook her head, "It'll disrupt the timeline and he WILL end up alone. You can't tell ANYONE!" Hermione warned. And whilst James looked disappointed, he nodded, realising that spoiling the ending could ruin the story. "What about me? Who do I end up with?" Lily asked and Hermione smirked, looking at James knowingly but kept her mouth shut, "Can't tell. Sorry." She smiled and winked at Harry. James! He really does look like Harry. Only difference is James is here and Harry is not.
