A/N
Hello everyone. This is the prolog for my newest story. It's the sequel of my other story, Lost Love in Time. Hopefully everyone will like it. This story isn't going to be wholly based on romance, some suspense and a lot of horror. This one might be a quite a bit gorier and somewhat nastier than the last. I think that you all will find out that I'm not as nice as I seem to be…
Summary:
After several months in the past, Hermione was forcefully sent back to her own time by her husband to be, Remus. One problem is that she can't remember why she went to the past or who she had meant to save. Even worse, the world she returned to isn't the real. The reality seems thin, like there are holes in the world. Haunted by nightmares of the real world, Hermione works against all odds to save things. What happens when the world she is in doesn't want to be destroyed?
"Just let us see her!" That had to be Sirius. His voice was a little deeper but it was still him. Banging at the door prompted her to get out of bed. Slowly she opened it. The remaining three Marauders stared back at her.
"Hello boys. Good to see you. I haven't seen you in all but a few hours but I think it must have been twenty some odd years for you…" She looked at them, standing there, older but even more distinguished. James had a few gray lines funning through his jet black hair; he had also grown a full beard. Sirius looked exactly the same, leaving out a few laugh lines, the beginnings of crow's feet around his eyes and all traces of twelve years in Azkaban. Sirius smiled and swept her up into a bone crushing hug that she only thought capable of Mrs. Weasley. James smiled and hugged her also. Remus stood behind the both of them. Hermione released James and stood before him. Before she knew what she was doing, Hermione slapped him right across the mouth.
"How DARE you send me back without asking? I wasn't ready to leave. I could have done more to save others. I knew when major battles were, I knew who was going to DIE! I could have saved them." Remus just stood there saying nothing.
There is something so wrong here…Hermione reached up to wipe away a tear threatening to spill over her chin when a memory occurred to her.
flashback
Hermione sat crying in an empty class room during her 7th year at Hogwarts. Tear drops were staining the letter she had clenched between her fingers. Remus Lupin walked in, having heard her crying. He gently took the letter from her and pulled her into a warm hug. Using his thumb, he wiped away a stray tear still rolling down her cheek. "To live the life of one of your tears would be such a joy. To be born in those amazing brown eyes, to live on a cheek of velvet and to die at a sweet mouth. What a joy…" he said.

"… and to die at sweet mouth…" Hermione said to herself, touching the place where the tear was. She looked up to Remus and smiled. How could she not forgive him? He was her love, her rock, he bond to the real world. He was her support, her friend and her husband. She loved Remus J. Lupin with all of her heard and she forgave him. she just wondered why she had a feeling of forbidding.
"Remus, I love you with all of my heart and I could never leave you. You did what you thought was the best in the situation and since lived with the results. I'm sure that you have loved me everyday since I left, and it must have been heartbreak." She managed to say through the tears. "Remus, I love you and I forgive you. Now, where is my son?" Hermione asked, trying to make light of the situation.
"Hermione, our son died. Being 2 months premature wasn't something his small body could handle. I thought that you would remember, but I guess a lot of things changed when you traveled back to save me." Remus said without much emotion. Save him? I only remember going to save someone, but not my husband, never him, Hermione tough to herself.
"What don't tell me that you forgot that too?" Remus shouted.
"I remember, but I don't know why I went back in time. I just remember being in a great heartache and I had to save someone in the past. That's it." Hermione replied, still shocked.
"Yea, it was me. You saved James, Sirius and me. Not including the hundred others also affected, like Lily, the Longbottom's, and some of your close friends like Ginny, Luna and Ron. You changed everything; we three Marauders caught Voldemort three years after I sent you back to here. We just couldn't see the fate you told us of come true. It was just too horrific…" Remus said. His eyes were burning holes in hers. There was something different about him; some of his personality seemed to be gone. Just a shell of who she fell in love with. Just a part of who he really was seemed to be left. Remus J. Lupin seemed to be hollow, nothing more than a ghost…
And it scared Hermione…
