AN: Doctor Who, who had just last Rose Tyler to the next demotion with her mother, father, and Ricky. As he was going through the time and space; he ended up running into Hermione Granger with a neighbor of hers, who also happens to be a witch. The Tartus had sent the trio to the 1970's to meet the Marauders. The Doctor was tired of playing it safe and so was Hermione, when dealing with time travel and the changes to make for a better future. He caught Hermione before she went off with Harry and Ron to go on the Horcrux hunting.

AN: I own nothing of Harry Potter or Doctor Who.

Time Changes for the Better

Ch. 1

The good Doctor had said his goodbyes to Rose Tyler while they were in two different demotions from one another, after she had told him that she love him, he was going to tell her same when the connection was gone. He was near tears; as he was battling his emotions, the Tartus took over the driving. He had not noticed that his ship was spinning and turning on its own accord, as it traveled through time and space; then he felt a thump. He went over to the monitors and saw that it read; June 25, 1996: three o'clock in the afternoon. He saw it looked like he was in the Northern part of London; in one of the surrounding area suburbs, with houses tightly close together.

The Doctor figured that it was time to explore; without the spring in his step, whenever Rose was there with him. He walked out of his ship and looked round; then he felt a surge of power coming from the nearby houses, as if someone was using magic. Then a teenage woman came walking out the house that he had felt the power was coming from. She had long wavy with a hint of frizzy long brown hair and sad looking brown eyes. She wore slender hip hugging jeans with a long sleeve blouse upon her body, with white tennis shoes upon her feet. The only thing she was carrying was a small beaded bag. As she had walked out of her house, a neighboring teenage girl came running out of one of the houses; who wore bootlegged jeans and a lilac button up shirt and white tennis shoes as well. The only this girl was carrying upon her was a leather book bag of sorts. She had long wavy reddish-brown hair and blue-green eyes, with wide hips and browed shoulders.

The Doctor knew that these two teenage girls were far different than normal teenagers. He blocked the two girls from going somewhere else. "Hello ladies, how are you today?"

Hermione sighed, "Can I help you sir?"

"I sure hope so; I am looking for magical beings, can you help me find them?" Both of the girls have a surprised look upon their faces. "So I have found them. Come; I have something to show you, follow me."

The two girls looked at each other and then made their way to the old Blue Police Box. Hermione asked, "I thought they had gotten rid of these long ago, like the fifties or something?"

The wild good looking man said, "I'll explain everything once we are inside."

The girls followed the man into the blue box; which happened to be something bigger than what it first looked like, plus the inside showed something much more than a blue box should be. The other girl; who barely spoke before, "This is a space ship?"

The man smiled, "That would be correct; I am known as the Doctor, the last of the Time Lords. This is Tartus; my spaceship, I travel through time and space. May I ask who the two of you are?"

Hermione answered, "I'm Hermione Granger."

The other girl answered, "And I am Emma Summers."

The Doctor then went on, "Let me guess you are the few of known magical people in the non-magical world, am I right? One of you has been around a war for nearly all of her life and taught the other once you found out that she had magic. Now you are heading out to face this evil to stop the war, before it gets any worse than what it has so far. Stop me if I am wrong."

Hermione sighed, "How do you know of these things?"

"I told you; I am a Time Lord, and I know what could end up being if you keep going on this path. Your friends will be on the road for months on end and nearly had gotten yourselves killed. Your red head friend would leave just before Christmas time and leaving you all alone for months until April. Just after you had gotten the sword of your founder's house, you will fall into the hands of a black wild hair witch, who would carve a horrible word into your flesh of your arm. All because you are the friend of The-Boy-Who-Lived and once the war reaches Hogwarts, you will be losing tons of friends, professors, and others that you have seen over the years."

With teary eyes; Hermione asked, "What about Emma?"

"You don't want to know," was the answer that he was willing to give them. In all honesty, he could not see her anywhere in the future.

Emma closed her eyes and asked, "What should we do then?"

The doctor smiled, "Follow me to 1977; make a better time line for your family and friends, by making the world a better place than what it is now. My goal is to have to two of you falling in love with people that you may believe that you can't, but you will. If the people that had been together before will not be getting together this time around, allow fate play with your love lives and let things run for them. Will you help me in doing this?"

Hermione smiled; she would love to be able to do anything to change things for the better for everyone, even if it was to mean to fall in love with someone who was a friends' father, godfather, or uncle in order to do so. She glanced at Emma; Hermione would do anything to keep her safe as well, she really needs to go the school to be a better witch. Both of the girls looked at one another and nodded in agreement to go with the Doctor.

Emma answered, "We will go with you, Doctor."

Doctor yelled, "Splendid! Now before we go; we need some cover stories for the three of us and I have come up with some, so listen. I am Doctor Lord Winters and you two are my daughters; Hermione and Emma Winters, I have come to Hogwarts to see about applying for the Muggle Studies Professor post. The two of you will be going to school while I teach there, since I have taught you all that I know about the muggle world, you really don't need to take the class."

Hermione sighed, "Oh bugger, but I love learning."

Emma laughed, "Oh stop it Hermione; you love learning, but what about relaxing once in a while and you don't want to overwork yourself once we find love. Do you?"

Hermione smiled, "No, I guess not."

"Now that is cleared up, may I continue," asked the Doctor. When he got no answer he went on, "Well anyway; I would like the two of you to come up a way for the three of us to communicate with one another, when we get there. Plus I would like to talk to the two of you at least once a week; to show the school that you do talk to your dear old Dad. Have I missed anything?"

Emma asked, "So who are we supposed to fall in love with or have someone to fall in love with whom?"

The Doctor smiled, "If we can get Lily Evans and Remus Lupin to fall for each other, than the rest will fall on their own accord. You two really should not know who you will be with; you may flip as it is."

Hermione laughed, "Oh come on; you might as well tell us, so we would not flip out later."

"Alright; I give up, I swear you act like real daughters to me," sighed the Doctor. "Well Emma; you will end up being with Sirius Black, while Hermione here end ups being with James Potter."

"WHAT," screamed both girls.

Emma stuttered, "S-Siri-us Bl-ack. Really? Mr. Shallow himself? He likes girls who are thin as toothpicks and hardly eats."

Hermione squeaked, "James Potter is my best friend's father. The Lord of Pranks, himself, and what did I do wrong?"

The Doctor knew that they would not take it well. "Oh come off of it girls. These two boys will surprise you, once the two of you are in front of them. Please come with me and see for yourselves. I know that your friend Harry will not be the same person as he is now, but he will be a much better person than he is now. He will no longer be sad and haunted, but a happy boy who knew his parents; once we take care of the Dark Lord of the 1970's. Together the three of us will help Dumbledore by bring the war to an end before it ever begins. Now what do you say?"

Hermione smiled, "Alright; I'm doing this for Harry, and love."

Emma smiled at her friend, "Yes, for friends and love."

"Good, now let's set this ship in motion shall we." The Doctor than ran around his ship to set the levers and buttons for Hogwarts; highlands of Scotland, and set the date for June 25, 1977. Then the sound of the alarm; stating that the ship will be phasing out at any second, and then they were off through the time rips.
