I'd like to thank you people that read this.

A witch, around the age of 17, was currently skimming through a rather large book. She had to get all the runes completely right for this plan to work. She glanced up from the book to see a wizard around her age pacing.

"Harry, go check the supplies again. I want to be sure you have enough potion to deal with your 'furry little problem' for awhile." Harry scowled at the girl. He has checked the supplies at least 10 times in the last hour.

The girl sighed before shaking her head. "Well, at least stop pacing. It is bloody annoying."

Harry threw his hands in the air, "I can't help it Hermione! What if it goes wrong!"

Hermione sighed again, they had had this conversation multiple times today. She could see his point, but she had a very good feeling this would work. Well, at least she hoped it would.

"Harry, I understand you are worried, but what other choice do we have? Stay here and wait for Voldemort to come kill us? Try to fight the Death Eaters when we are pretty much the only ones left in the Order? This way, we can save people. Innocent children won't die at the hands of their Imperioused mothers. We could save your parents, Harry. And Sirius. And Remus. And thousands of others. If this doesn't work, and we die, at least we attempted it." Hermione was attempting not to cry. That would help nothing.

Harry sighed and flopped down. "Have you got the runes figured out yet?"

Hermione nodded. "I am just double checking, but I think I have it covered. I also have invented the cover story we will use."

"What about appearances? Will we need to change them?" Harry sounded slightly reluctant, though it was obvious he was willing to do this.

"No. Your hair is longer than James Potter's ever was, and the white streak in the front makes it terribly difficuilt to notice the similarites. Also, thanks to your lycanthropy, your eyes now have those gold flecks in them. As I am muggleborn, I don't have to worry about me resembling any students, or past students. I figure I will keep my name, and you can keep your first, though you need to come up with a last name."

Harry nodded and appeared to be thinking. "What do you think of Jamison?"

Hermione noticed the infamous Marauders' glint in his eye as he mentioned the name. Hermione rolled her eyes, but agreed. While being quite obvious to those who knew Harry's parents, in the past no one would guess.

"Do I need a new middle name?" Harry then snorted. "Harry James Jamison."

Hermione laughed. "Let's make it Harry Ronald Jamison, just to be safe." A short silence fell over them as they remembered their lost friend, the other part of the Golden Trio. He had been killed by Voldemort himself. He didn't stand a chance.

Harry sighed before standing, "I should probably check the supplies again." He turned around and was about to leave the room when he heard Hermione's voice.

"He wouldn't blame you, Harry. None of the would."

-VicisViator-

Harry and Hermione currently stood in the clearing where they decided to perform the spell. They had already said goodbye to Minerva, the only one left who they were really close to. The spell should take them to the day before school starts in Harry's parents' 6th year. They had decided on that year, because it was the year Voldemort truly began his attacks. Before then he was just a rumor among students. Something students had heard their parents whispering about. He was mainly gathering followers before then. Sure he had committed murders, but nothing like he would for the next few years.

"Harry, are you ready?" Hermione had just finished writing the runes. All the bags had been packed. Everything was ready.

"No, but let's go anyways." Harry started towards the spot where they needed to stand. Hermione stared at him for a few seconds before following. Once they reached the appropriate spot Hermione turned towards Harry.

"This is it. No more chances of turning back." Harry just smiled in return.

"Let's get this over with."

They both began to pour magic into the runes. The runes glowed blue, showing they were working. On a silent count of three, both Harry and Hermione spoke the spell together focusing on the date they wanted to arrive, while gripping to their bags.

"Vicis Viator"

Hermione, of course, landed safely on her feet, but Harry, who was complete rubbish at any sort of magical travel, besides brooms, of course, landed on his arse with a loud 'Oof'. They were in the same clearing they had been in, but, after checking with the Tempus spell, they were back in 1976. After they checked to see if all their supplies had indeed made it, they set off towards Hogwarts, no talking because of the nerves and anticipation running through them. As they got closer to Hogwarts, however, Harry had a question for Hermione.

"What if Dumbledore doesn't accept me because of my lycanthropy?"

Hermione had anticipated this question and had been surprised Harry hadn't asked before they left. "He accepted Remus, didn't he? Why wouldn't he accept you? We have all the proper documentation.

Harry sighed. He hoped Hermione was right. However, he was 17 years old not 11. He couldn't help but point this out to Hermione.

"If he doesn't accept you, we can just oppose Voldemort from outside of school. The only real reasons we decided to attend Hogwarts was to keep an eye on your parents and to avoid suspicion, though two transfer students seems suspicious as well." Hermione sighed. She was slightly worried about this as well. With Voldemort out in the open, people would be more suspicious. She shrugged, though, what else did they have to lose?

They reached the edge of the Hogwarts grounds, and looked up at it. It was odd and slightly painful seeing it whole. Hermione saw Harry's face set into a determined expression, and she knew he wouldn't doubt their plans anymore. He would do anything to keep Hogwarts whole and the students inside safe. Hermione sighed. She felt the same way.

"Let's go, 'Mione," Harry began to walk quickly towards the castle. He was ready. She had to jog slightly to keep up. When they reached the front doors, Dumbledore and Professor Flitwick were exiting. Dumbledore looked at them with the knowing glance they were used to. He then turned to Flitwick, who was looking at them with curiosity.

"Excuse me, Filius, but we will have to go to Hogsmeade another day. I forgot this was the day these two were arriving." Flitwick just nodded and accepted it and left them, presumably to go to Hogsmeade, anyways. Harry and Hermione felt slightly shocked and confused at the fact Dumbledore seemed to know why they were here.

"Come along to my office, so we can discuss the reason you are here." He then walked a few paces, before turning around to see if they were following. Harry and Hermione quickly shook off their surprise before following him. They quickly reached his office. Dumbledore smiled slightly as he spoke the password.

"Lemon drops."

Harry and Hermione had to fight the laughter that was bubbling up within them. Dumbledore never changed. They quickly ascended the stairs into Dumbledore's office. Once they set down Dumbledore offered them a lemon drop, which they declined, before asking them a question.

"Am I to assume that you two are the reason for the magic pulsations coming from the Forbidden Forests?"

Harry and Hermione smiled, well smirked, before nodding.

"The pulsations were similar to that of a Time Turner, but in a much larger quantity. How far exactly did you travel back?"

The two time traveler's weren't really shocked that Dumbledore knew they were from the future. Dumbledore always seemed to know everything that happened. Harry was the one that decided to answer. "20 years, sir."

Dumbledore didn't comment on the number of years, or even look surprised. He just moved on to the next question. "Any particular reason why?"

Over the next hour, Harry and Hermione explained why they went back in time. The devastation Voldemort caused, but they didn't go in to specifics.

"Stop." Dumbledore looked up at the other boy he had failed, or would have anyways. "Don't blame yourself. I don't know if anyone could of prevented Tom Riddle from becoming Voldemort, except maybe his mother or father. His hate of muggles was instilled in him, from the abuse he suffered at the orphanage. Don't blame it on yourself."

Dumbledore simply nodded. Inside, he was amazed at the boy. He had failed the boy in so many ways, yet Harry still cared about him.

"Will you allow us to attend Hogwarts?" This came from Hermione.

"Yes, of course. Harry can use the Shack, like Remus does." Hermione shook her head though.

"We would prefer if Remus and the Marauder's didn't know about Harry's lycanthropy right away. We know they'd be accepting, but for now we'd like to keep it to ourselves."

Harry nodded in agreement before adding, "I could use the Room of Requirement for the transformations."

Dumbledore just sighed and nodded in agreement. "Right then. Let's move on to the sorting." Dumbledore stood and retrieved the Hat, before handing it to Hermione. The Sorting Hat immediately called out Gryffindor, which made Hermione sigh in relief. Harry knew she just couldn't see herself anywhere else. The process was repeated with Harry, who was also sorted to Gryffindor, after threatening to set it on fire, of course.

This seemed to amuse Dumbledore, who told them they could go ahead and get situated in the dorms. He would announce them tomorrow at the welcoming feast.

Hermione and Harry were glad to be once again in the Gryffindor tower they loved so much. Despite the fact they were back in time, they felt at home.

I changed a few things from the original, like the pairing and such, but it's still the same. Review and tell me what you think.
