Chapter One: Lost...or Not?
17 year old Hermione Granger struggled up the stairs to get to Defense Against the Dark Arts, her favorite class. Lupin was teaching again since the defeat of Voldemort (by Harry of course) in her 6th year. She really liked Lupin. He was kind, sincere, and understanding. He's also kinda cute. But Lupin, now 35, had tired blue eyes, and graying brown hair.
Since a part of Hogwarts was destroyed in the attack, the DADA classroom was...well...gone. They had moved the classes up five floors to a deserted classroom.
But in order to get there, they had to go up the longest staircase in Hogwarts.
"Sometimes, I really regret this Time Turner!" said an irritated Hermione.
She had gotten a Time Turner again this year, since she wanted to take all the subjects again. She felt that since this was her last year here, she needed to get a little extra education before leaving. That included Divination. She had that class earlier today, and she figured out one thing. She still hated it. When she left, she turned the Time Turner so she could go to DADA. She was definitely already late for DADA.
"Ugh, almost there," she wheezed.
Finally when she reached the top step, she clutched her chest, her breathing labored. She felt no bump. Where was her Time Turner?
"Oh my god! Where is-oh there it is!"
The long, thin chain was broken. "Just what I need more work."
As she bent down to pick it up, the weight of her books hit her. She grabbed the Time Turner as she fell down the stairs, and each time tried to grab onto one to keep from falling more down. She finally grabbed a step. She looked at her Time Turner and suddenly looked around. Everything was dissolving and spinning. She lost her grip on the step and continued to fall. Along the way, the Time Turner slipped out of her hand. When she ended at the bottom, her arms and back sore from falling, she lifted her head and looked around. She was still at Hogwarts, on the same floor, and on the same staircase. She heard someone coming.
"Here, let me give you a hand. Sheesh, it looks like you fell down from the top of the staircase."
She took the hand, got up and stared into his face.
"Hi, my name's Remus."
It was Lupin!
Author's Note: Yeah, I know it was short and there's a cliffhanger but since in case you can't wait, I'll give you the 2nd chapter too later today, and it'll be a longer chapter, ok? Pleze R&R!
