A/N: I know, I know. I'm suppose to be continuing my other story, but honestly, I'm not too happy about it so I am going to start another one – its also a time travel story and Sirius and Hermione are the main couple, but there will be Lily and James moments, as well as Remus with an OC.

Here is the first chapter. Hope you enjoy!


Hermione Granger fought with all her might, not taking a break for even a second. Death Eaters swarmed all around her, fighting her fellow students and teachers, but she took no notice to them and continued on with her fight against a Death Eater, whom she presumed was Lucius Malfoy.

She threw a spell at him, missing him by inches, but that didn't stop her. She kept sending him spells as he did the same.

Hermione had cuts all over her body, bleeding none stop. She ached all over, but couldn't stop. Wouldn't stop. She had to do this. For Harry, Ron and the rest of the wizardry world.

She clutched a new wound that formed on her stomach and groaned, the pain overtaking her. Fed up with Lucius Malfoy, Hermione threw one more spell, putting all her power into it, and hit him square in the chest, causing him to go unconscious.

She let out a shaky breath and looked around her, searching for her friends. She spotted Ron Weasley dueling Bellatrix Lestrange, and stood there watching for a while when she saw green light darting towards Ron, coming from Bellatrix's wand. Hermione yelled out to Ron, but he couldn't hear her. She was about run forward when Ron was struck by the Killing Curse, dropping to the ground lifeless. Hermione chocked out a sob as tears rolled down her eyes. She ran to Ron's body, shaking him as if he were still alive. Minutes later, she stood up and looked around for Harry, the only person closest to family for her – Her parents were killed weeks ago. But she couldn't find him.

Fear rifled through her body when she heard the scream of her missing best friend, and she expected the worst as she turned around.

Harry was on the ground, Voldemort standing over him, and he was screaming in pain. She soon realized that Voldemort was using the Cruciatus Curse on Harry and rushed forward, throwing different spells on Voldemort and lifting the Cruciatus curse off Harry.

Voldemort, furious with Hermione's interruption, turned on her and soon a duel began between the two, both growing weaker and weaker as different spells hit each other

Hermione was suddenly flying backwards and hit the ground, her wand in Voldemort's hand as he smirked at her. "You filthy little MudBlood. I knew I should have ended you a long time ago" Hermione frowned in confusion at what he said, not knowing the meaning, as he lifted his wand and pointed it at her before yelling out, "Crucio!"

Hermione's shrill scream filled the air as the curse grew stronger and stronger, causing her to go weaker and weaker. Her eyes began to water, and tears dropped on her dirty cheeks. Her screaming getting louder and louder.

Harry, who has just woken up from unconsciousness, pointed his wand from afar and muttered a spell. He watched as the Avada Kedavera curse hit Voldemort's back and immediately kill him.

He felt relief wash over him – The Dark Lord was finally gone. Harry hurriedly turned around to help Hermione, but to no avail.

Hermione was gone.


1977, The Marauders time.

The Marauders minus Remus Lupin made their way up towards the castle in the dark. It was the full moon that night, and they just came back from another adventure with their werewolf best friend.

"But, Prongsie, I have a date tomorrow! Do I have to come to practice?" Sirius Black whined.

James Potter, also known as Prongs, rolled his eyes. "Padfoot, the first match of the season is the day after, so we have to have practice a day before the game. You know that!"

Peter Pettigrew, whom is occasionally called Wormtail by his friends, nodded his head in agreement, but said nothing.

"Come on, Prongs! It's Jessica Vane were talking about here! Pleeeeeeeeeease James? Pretty Please with a che—

James interrupted Sirius' pleads and pointed not too far away, where a figure was leaning against a tree, struggling to get up. It was obvious that she was hurt because blood was pouring everywhere.

The three boys ran over to the girl, wondering what exactly happened. "Hey lady, you okay?" James called out, though he was about a meter away, not wanting to get any closer in case he scared her.

The girl looked up and Sirius was able to get a better view of her. She had medium length, slightly bushy brown her reaching mid-black, and chocolate brown eyes. What surprised him the most was her surprised expression as she looked between the three, as if she already knew them.

She frowned and opened her mouth, but closed it again – no sound coming out. She tried again and this time, a very low, very scratchy voice asked, "Who are you?" as she looked around at her surroundings and if it was possible, she frowned even more. Wasn't the battle in Hogsmead and not Hogwarts? Why am I back? Then, to find out answers, she asked, "Where am I?"

"I'm James, and this is Sirius and Peter" James introduced, "You're on Hogwarts grounds".

Hermione looked up at the boy who spoke and almost gasped. He looked almost exactly like Harry, but his eyes were different. He had blue eyes, but Hermione was positive Harry had Green – Emerald- eyes.

Confused, she slowly stood up but fell back down again. The boys rushed to her, but she squirmed back, afraid this might be a trap. James and Sirius held up their hands as Peter went back to his place. "We're not going to hurt you. We just want to see If your alright" Sirius said calmly, but it seemed like the bushy haired girl wasn't listening, instead, she was looking around.

"Where's Harry?" she whispered. Then, when nobody answered, she asked louder. "Where's Harry?!?!"

"Who's Harry?" Peter finally spoke.

But she ignored his question and pulled herself up, this time not falling to the ground, and began calling, "Harry! HARRY!"

She groaned loudly and stopped yelling. Her arms flew to the large gash that was still dropping blood and gripped it tight, forcing the pain to stop, but it only got worse.

"You need to get to the hospital wing." James stated calmly. She shook her head and leaned against a tree, closing her eyes and willing the pain to go away.

Sirius sighed, "Come on, your hurt pretty badly. We need to get you a healer"

"NO!" She burst, "I won't go anywhere until I find Harry!"

"Okay, Okay. We'll help you find Harry." James said, trying to calm the girl down. He turned to Sirius and in a low voice, whispered, "Siri, go get Dumbledore and Madam Pomfrey, I don't think we'd be able to get her inside and I don't want to force her"

Sirius nodded and ran up the front steps at lightning speed. He stopped in front of the gargoyle guarding Dumbledore's office and said every candy he could think of until it opened.

He rushed up the spiral staircase and knocked urgently on the door before bursting in. "Professor, we need your help" Sirius got out as he regained his breath.

Dumbledore abruptly stood up and walked to the black haired boy, putting a hand on his shoulder, "What is it, Mr. Black?"

"There's a girl outside in front of the front doors. She's loosing a lot of blood but won't come inside to be checked by Madam Pomfrey until she finds her friend"

Dumbledore nodded, "Why don't you go call Madam Pomfrey while I go check on the girl?"

Sirius nodded and once again ran from Dumbledore's office to the hospital wing, calling Madam Pomfrey and leading her to where the injured girl is.


It didn't take long for Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore to calm the girl down. Dumbledore levitated a stretcher just as Madam Pomfrey cast a spell to make the girl unconscious.

They took her to the hospital wing and Madam Pomfrey immediately began her work.

When she was done, she made her way out the doors and to Dumbledore, who was waiting for news outside.

The three boys stood behind Dumbledore as Madam Pomfrey spoke, "She has serious injuries. It looks like she was attacked, poor girl. And I also noticed the Cruciatus Curse was used on her. The aftereffects of the curse is now dying down, but I guarantee she will be in a lot of pain when she wakes up"

The boys eyes widened when the Cruciatus Curse was mentioned, but listened on.

"Did you find anything that would identify the girl? Where she's from?" Dumbledore asked.

Madam Pomfrey shook her head sadly. "The only thing I found in her pockets was her wand and I found a necklace around her neck. But that's all she has on her"

Dumbledore gave the healer a smile, "Very well. I will have to question her when she wakes up. Please, inform me if there is any change"

Madam Pomfrey nodded her head and headed back inside.

Dumbledore sighed and turned around, looking at the boys, "Now, would any of you care to explain to me why you were out after hours?"

The boys paled.


A/N: What do you think? Is this chapter okay? Please, review and tell me. And please, instead of saying it sucks or whatever, I would like some constructive criticism. Tell me what was wrong with it.

Thank you,
