Hermione Granger stood in the center of the room, the doors flew open and a gust of wind whipped in and around her. Her hair billowed upwards and her clothes started to whip around her. She smiled as the cool air caressed her skin, feeling completely at home standing in the middle of the unnatural wind. She heard the wind whispering for the third time in her two lives, she was going back home.

Going home you are headed. Change time you will. Save your special ones. For defeated he is going to be the love of the loved. No love he knows. No compassion he understands. Love you have been. Home you will go and save us all.

She opened her eyes as she started to glow gently; she blinked back tears as her eyes swept over the dead bodies around her. She glanced at her captive friends and whispered into the wind. “I am going to try to save us all, be safe and do not forget me, I will come when the time is right to retrieve you for the war” then Hermione left 1997. Ginny’s eyes widened as she heard the whispered words unsure if the others heard it. She assumed none had heard for no-one reacted at all.

1977

Lily glanced at the watch on her wrist, Jo would be returning soon. She had to leave a few days ago to deal with decisions for the future. What ever that meant Jo had her whole future planned out, graduate then become a Healer at St. Mungo’s and the she would join the Order of the Phoenix. A light breeze blew in from the window outside, she walked over to the window to close it when she saw a lone hooded figure materialize in the middle of the grounds, she nearly screamed when the figure pushed back her hood to reveal a mane of bushy hair down her back. Lily’s face lit up and ran down the stairs out of the Head’s commons and down to the Great Hall.

“Oi! Evans what’s the rush?” the Head Boy hollered down the stairs to Lily.

“Jo’s back Potter.” She yelled back at him, in that moment of happiness forgetting to sound annoyed at James.

“Right, do you want me to call Moony?”

“Who in Merlin’s name is Moony?”

“Remus.”

“Oh, of course.” James nodded and ran up the stairs to the Gryffindor Common Room to get his best friend. Lily kept running down to the courtyard where she hugged her best friend. She grinned at Jo and pulled her inside.

“Jo, how have you been? Where have you been? Why did you just leave a note and not tell me where you were? What have you been doing?” Lily babbled at top speed. Hermione grinned and put her hand on Lily’s mouth, reminding her of something similar she done with Ginny after Harry asked Ginny out for Bill’s wedding. Her smile dimmed as she thought of 1997 but she suppressed the memory and tried to re-assume her old identity of Joanne Daphne Tyler, but she knew Hermione Jean Granger would be apart of her, maybe even more so than Jo.

“Lily Rose Evans stop right this instant or I will tell a certain Potter boy of your crush on him.” She said with a laugh whilst wriggling her eyebrows suggestively.

“You wouldn’t dare” Lily hissed.

“Oh, I would trust me soon he will know all about you secret love!” Hermione finished dramatically.

“Evans has a secret crush!” squealed a young 17 year old boy by the name of Sirius Black. Hermione felt as if her heart had stopped. It had been two years since she watched him fall in to the veil, Harry was torn afterwards. It had been hard enough to deal with her best friend of over 7 years die without him even knowing who you were then watch the person you considered your brother break down. She resisted the urge to hug him right then, because she had no reason to.

“Jo?” a voice whispered, Hermione glanced around and saw her 3 year long boyfriend Remus, she ran up to him and pressed her lips hard against his then drew back and gave him a tight hug. He patted her awkwardly on her back before burying his face in her hair.

“It’s good to be back” she whispered to him so that only he could hear, he drew back and gave her a calculating stare then without a word they headed to the Room of Requirement.

“How did the mission go?” Remus asked.

“Fine I guess, I found out heaps and I have to change the future to fix up our lives, hopefully it will work properly.”

“Can you tell me about it?”

“I’m sorry Remus but you know it is top secret, I can not tell you directly. I may drop hints though; I think I am allowed to.”

“Fine” then Remus noticed that she was very downcast

“Jo what is wrong? Is it another man? Did you find someone else? Oh Merlin you did didn’t you? I completely understand. It has been 17 years again for you.”

“Remus that is not it, it is just different being back here after seeing all the deaths and not being able to talk to you and tell you how much I love you and just not being Hermione Granger any more. It takes some getting use to again. I just miss my family back in my other life.”

“Wait, so you knew me in the future?”

“I shouldn’t have told you that. But yes I did, I also found out something big.”

“What is it?”

“Why didn’t you tell me about the wolf?”

“Why didn’t I tell you that I was a werewolf? I didn’t tell you because I was scared that you would reject me.”

“I would never reject you, I love you to much” Hermione said with a smile before gently kissing Remus on the lips, his tongue ran across her bottom lip and she parted her lips slightly when Sirius finally got the door open.

“Arghh! Why do I always walk in on these little scenes of yours?” he groaned before walking out the door. Hermione pulled back.

“I better see the Headmaster.” She whispered then left. She exited the room and saw her friends trying to look innocent. She scoffed and left the room to get to Dumbledore’s office.

Dumbledores Office

"Professor?" Hermione asked quietly.

"Ah, Ms Tyler. I trust the trip was productive." The old professor replied.

"Yes sir."

"What news did the future hold?"

"Good and terrible news."

"How so?"

"Many have died in the next 20 years. Some have been totured and alot of people's wills have been broken. But there was hope in the form of a young boy called Harry James Potter. Unfortunately when I left we were losing the war."

"That is grave indeed."

"I was wondering sir, if I could may I call a friend from the future if needed? To fix the future and to make it a happier place?"

"Only if necessary. Now you may return to being yourself again." Dumbledore finished. Hermione nodded and returned fully to her past life as Joanne Tyler.
