"I'm sorry, but what is going on here?" Lily Evans asked, jealousy clear in her voice, James' eyes flickered open slightly. "Let me sleep!" He complained, shutting his eyes again. This is one comfy pillow he thought as he drifted back to sleep. "James. James! Get up!" Hermione urged, and James opened his eyes again. "Woah shit! Sorry I didn't realise, sorry!" he said swiftly, "This is usually the part where you stop perving on the new girl." Lily said, doing little to mask her jealousy. "Sorry Sorry Sorry." James repeated as he jumped up out of bed, Hermione just laughed. "Well that's a first." She smiled, finding the whole situation humorous. "Why were you laying on her... chest anyway?" Lily asked suspiciously, James racked his brain for a moment, trying to remember last nights conversation. "When I left the room, you were in YOUR bed..." Lily carried on. "Peter Pettigrew is a traitor!" James burst out. "I'm going to find him, and I'm going to kill him!" James shouted angrily as he stormed out of the infirmary. "Go get Dumbledore, I'll try to stop him!" Hermione urged as she stood up for the first time since arriving in the past. She fell down immediately. "I just need to stretch a little" she answered Lily's raised eyebrow. Lily ran out of the room, Hermione following close behind.

"James stop!" Hermione shouted as she saw the head-boy run into the Gryffindor common room. "Hold him down!" James shouted to a confused Remus and Sirius who did as they were told. James punched Peter in the face. "Woah James, what the fuck is going on?!" Sirius shouted as he let go of Peter. "He betrays me to the dark lord! Betrays US to the dark lord that's what!" James shouted back as he punched Peter as he scrambled to get up. "And how do you know this?!" Remus asked as he placed himself inbetween the two Gryffindor's, "Hermione told me" he answered weakly. "Right, and where's the evidence?" Sirius asked, now suspicious of the new girl. "Right here" she answered throwing a bottle of Veritaserum. Remus stumbled to catch the bottle, giving James a chance to kick Peter hard in the ribs. "STOP!" Sirius demanded as he held Peter still. "Let's use the Veritaserum."

"What is going on here?!" Dumbledore asked, Lily following close behind. Sirius and Remus were holding Peter on the ground whilst James held his head against a wall and Hermione prepared to pour the serum down Peter's throat. "Just wait Dumbledore, You're gonna want to hear this. Then I'll need to talk to you." Hermione answered as she poured the serum. "Are you working for the dark lord?" Hermione asked first, "Yes" Peter spat, his face contorted. "How long have you been working for him?" She asked next, "Since the summer. When you left me alone!" He shouted, but fell silent almost immediately after. "What does he want?" Hermione asked and Peter remained silent for a second. "He wants James. and Lily and Sirius and Remus. and Severus. He wants us to be death eaters. He wants me to get you to join us." He spat, jealous that he was being used. That he wasn't needed.

"Obliviate." Hermione shouted repeatedly at the students in the room before collapsing. She woke up in the infirmary. "Hermione, may I ask why you obliviated their memories?" Dumbledore asked as the girls eyes fluttered open. "Knowing would disrupt the time line too much. Couldn't risk it." She answered, her eyes shutting immediately after.

Hermione awoke again over an hour later. "If you could stay awake a little longer, that would be exceedingly helpful." Dumbledore said as he studied the young girl. "What do you suggest we do? We can't have Peter Pettigrew lead the other's into the hands of lord Voldemort. And seeing as how you just obliviated their memories, which may I remind you is highly illegal, they're not going to believe he's a traitor a second time are they?" Dumbledore asked, for the first time in the entirety of his life, stuck for ideas. "We have to split them up. We have to make sure Peter has no one. I can help with that." Hermione answered, having spent the majority of the night figuring out how to isolate Pettigrew from the other marauders (and Lily) "What I don't understand Hermione, is why?" Dumbledore said curiously. "Because Voldemort kills Harry's parents, James and Lily. Harry didn't deserve that. Doesn't deserve that." Hermione answered, her eyelids feeling heavy once again. "If you do go ahead, the whole timestream will be skewed, I'm assuming the two of you are... in love?" Dumbledore asked again, Hermione nodded, feeling incredibly tired. "How do you know things will turn out the same in this new reality?" Dumbledore asked and Hermione felt her eyes shut. I hadn't thought of that. What if Dumbledore's right? What if he doesn't... I have two options, save Harry's parents, or keep Harry's love.thought as she passed out.

A/N: So I promise to make the next chapter funny but, you know, we had to be real with the consequences didn't we? So which will Hermione choose? And better yet what's happening with Harry as of current? Will he make an appearance in the past? Review. (This will definitely be the shortest chapter, don't worry.)
