“Good morning, Miss Granger” Professor Dumbledore said standing next to her on the astronomy tower and watching the sun rise over the lake.
“Good morning, Sir…HEY” She turned and looked in to his laughing blue eyes.
“Yes, I know who you are” He told her “I got a letter in June of 1959 from myself dated 1996”
“Really?” She asked.
“Yes” He nodded “It told me of the horrors that my future-self saw and then told me that there was a girl born to the Potter-line that died in her fourth year and then told me that during this time which the Potter daughter should have died another girl would be taking her place and no one would be any wiser…it is why you were put in Gryffindor because I told me that that was what you were even though the other Potter-daughter, who I honestly don’t remember, should have been a Slytherin”
“What happened to her?” Hermione asked “The Potter girl…how’d she die?”
“The future me figured it out and in all honesty I am shocked and almost terrified that it will actually happen” He told her “You know that Peter Pettigrew betrayed his friends in your time, right?”
“Yes” She said “Did he kill her?”
“No” He said “It appears that in my future-self’s past there was another betrayal, one that no one heard about…one that was stemmed from hatred and a fear that she would, how do you put it…out his secret”
“Oh no” Hermione put her hand to her mouth.
“A little after his parents death, in the future me’s past” Dumbledore explained “The Potter girl started to make fun of Remus about everything, including his lycanthropy he started to get scared that he would have to leave the only place he had left. He tried to talk to her, beg her, offered to do her homework and in the end he got mad. He was yelling at her and she told him that she was going to go tell everyone what he was right then and he grabbed her, he tried to stop her from screaming when she started and in the struggle he broke her neck…it was an accident”
“How was he not thrown in Azkaban?” Hermione asked, thinking that the man she had known in the future had been…a murderer?
“When he let go of her she fell down the stairs” Albus answered the question “Everyone, including James, assumed that she was picking on him and jumped back when he turned to yell at her and she fell. There were scratch marks on the back of his hands but we all assumed he tried to catch her and she, in her fear, fought him”
“Oh” Hermione looked down.
“Remus was such a good person, newly orphaned” Albus said “Everyone believed him. I guess a few years before he passed away he told me what happened…the truth”
“Poor Remus” Hermione whispered.
“Miss Granger” The elderly Headmaster looked at her “This will be the last time you are called by that surname”
“I understand” She said.
“And one more thing” He fixed her with a twinkling stare “When you came back here your timeline your history was erased. Harry Potter never existed he may in the future but not now, the entire future is already changed beyond repair so it makes no sense to have to do everything by yourself”
“How do you know…” She started but he was completely gone.
~~~Gryffindor Common Room later In The Morning~~~
Hermione walked back in to the common room to find it nearly empty, nearly she saw a lone figure sitting on the couch by himself staring in to the empty fireplace with no emotion on his face. Remus shouldn’t be by himself, not at a time like this and she would be angry with James, Sirius and Peter for not being there for him but she knew that they James and Sirius were at Quidditch practice and in all honesty less time spent with Peter was better. She walked over and put her hand on his shoulder hating the way his head slowly turned to look at her and the dead look in his eyes before he turned back to staring straight ahead.
“Hermione” Lily whispered from the steps and nodded her head towards the stairs before disappearing up them, Hermione sighed and then followed her to the dorm room.
“What’s up Lily?” She asked when the door was shut.
“The boys are…well…boys and they don’t know what to do to make him feel better and he shouldn’t be left alone” She informed “Any idea what to do…I couldn’t think of anything”
“I’ll try” Hermione stood again “How long has he been… like that?”
“I came down at six and he was there” She said looking at the clock that read 11:50am. Hermione nodded and went back down the stairs, sitting next to him she waited to see if he would say or do anything but he remained unchanged.
“I’m sorry about your parents” She told him.
“Yeah, right” He snorted “You hate me…you don’t care”
“No” Hermione moved closer, sitting Indian-style so her knees where pressed against his leg “I really mean it”
“You lying…” He stopped when she suddenly pulled him closer hugging him hard against her chest and then shocking himself more than she had with the hug he allowed himself to be held as he started to shake.
“Hey” She murmured near his ear “You’ll be okay, you’ve got friends here and you can come home with us during the holidays”
“Don’t be nice…your lying…you’re a bitch” He muttered.
“Okay” She sighed irritated “Your right, James, Sirius and I decided that because your parents are dead that we don’t like you anymore. Think Snape will take you in?”
“BITCH” He screamed in her face pushing her back hard, suddenly bringing back the conversation with Dumbledore to her mind.
“Calm the hell down” She stood in front of him “Stop yelling at me, I was trying to be nice and your mean, I try being mean and your mean…what do you want?”
Suddenly, Remus slammed himself forward and gripped her waist slamming his face in to her soft belly and within seconds she felt the fabric of the shirt she was wearing starting to get wet from his shed tears. She looked down at him and then cautiously slid her fingers in to his tousled blond hair and massaged his scalp, she didn’t say anything when a shocked Lily and Alice came down to go to lunch nor when they came back and hour later she just let him hold her in the same spot. Her legs were starting to ache and her lower back had a cramp in it from standing when he moved back but kept his hold on her, pulling her down so that she was straddling his lap and his face was pressed in to her throat. She knew that she should stop him, move back and leave but she knew that he needed someone to hold on to and refused to be the one to make him feel bad for what he was doing.
“What the hell is going on here?” A voice asked from the portrait hole, Hermione looked up and saw that the other three marauders had come back and caught her with their friend, and she knew that in this position it looked bad.
“We’re shagging in the common room” Hermione sneered “What the hell do you think, you bloody moron”
“It’s just….well…you guys aren’t exactly friends” James muttered blushing a little.
“Yeah, well” Hermione said rubbing small circles on Remus’s back. Just then as she was watching Sirius and James muttering back and forth and as she held Remus in her arms the words the headmaster had spoken a few hours earlier came back to her ‘the entire future is already changed beyond repair so it makes no sense to have to do everything by yourself’
“You guys” She called out to Sirius, James and Peter “I need to speak to…” Her eyes ran over Peter who, as usual, looked eagerly at Sirius and James to see what they wanted to do “James and Sirius alone with Remus…Lily and Snape too”
“Snape?” James hissed “Why him?”
“It’s important” Hermione told them pulling back from Remus and inspecting his face to make sure his eyes weren’t puffy before releasing him completely but continued sitting in his lap “Please”
“What is it about?” James asked.
“Please” She snapped “Please. I know I’ve been horrible but I need to you to trust me…just once”
“You talk to Snape alone” James said after a few minutes “Go get Lily and meet us in the dorm room. Peter stay and do homework here in the common room we’ll talk to you later”
“Fine” He sat down heavily and glared at Hermione as she and Lily made their ways up the stairs to the boys dorm.
“What is so important?” James asked. Hermione took a deep breath and started to tell them everything from her real name, to Harry Potter and what happened with him to how she got back in time. With many shared memories and many hours later James, Sirius, Lily and Remus all stared at her with shocked and tearful eyes.
“I know where all the horcruxes are” Hermione told them “The snake doesn’t exist yet because he gets that as a present from a faithful (at the time) death eater, so it is not yet a horcrux and Harry hasn’t been born yet so he is not one either”
“Who is the faithful “at the time” death eater?” Sirius asked, fearing that maybe it was him.
“Severus Snape” Hermione whispered “Now I have the ability to change everything, to make things not happen that did and to make things that should have happened happen. He is one of those things”
“What do you mean?” Lily asked.
“In my time” Hermione looked at all of them “In your fifth year Sirius plays a terrible joke on Severus, he lures him to the shrieking shack on a full moon and he is almost attacked by Remus…”
“SIRIUS!” Remus hissed.
“I haven’t done it!” Sirius growled “Is he hurt?”
“No, James saves his life” Hermione said.
“Really?” Lily, James and Remus all said
“Later in the year” Hermione continued “You guys hang him upside down and show his…undergarments to everyone…IT’S NOT FUNNY” She hit Sirius in the stomach as he and James roared with laughter “During this time Lily, you try to help him and in his anger he calls you a ‘mud-blood’”
“That’s hurtful” Lily sighed
“Everyone is terrible to him” Hermione said “No one is nice to him, he has no friends after that…and it leads him to join the dark lord and Severus gives him two things that lead the insane bastard on the rampage. Killing Lily and James, sending Sirius off to jail and Remus being homeless and alone”
“What happens to me?” Remus whispered to her.
“You were set as an example” Hermione answered tears falling from her eyes “They… it…was…hot, liquid silver…they said you had a dangerous way of thinking because you didn’t want to kill people. The p-p-painted it on your skin…” Hermione put her head down as the echo of his tortured screams pierced through her skull again.
“H-how long…until I died?” His voice was flat, emotionless but his hands were shaking.
“Remus…” She sobbed.
“Tell me!” He growled “How long?”
“Thirteen hours and it was a killing curse shot at you out of mercy” Hermione sobbed closing her eyes and letting out an anguished scream.
“Who showed me mercy?” He asked tears sliding down his cheeks.
“N-no” Hermione clutched her head and crumpled down on to James’s bed shaking her head back and forth like she was trying to rid the memories from her head “No…please…no”
“Tell me…please…who showed me mercy?” Remus asked shaking to the point of vibrating “Please”
“Me” She whispered brokenly in the bed “It was me…I couldn’t take it anymore…the screaming” Lily pulled her in to her arms crying herself “I stole a wand and…and…I couldn’t take it anymore…I was severely punished for it after”
“How?” Lily asked fearing the answer.
“Beaten…raped” Hermione shook her head and was starting to go all emotionless “But that I could put up with, at least the screams were my own”
“Okay” James said swallowing “We’ll help you…we’re marauders we can get away with anything”
“Thank you” Hermione whispered and then fled to her room so she could cry in peace.
