Where the New Future Begins

Chapter 3

"Well Mr. Snape, if you do not interrupt right now I would have told you that you will be learning how prepare yourself for the real world." Miss Granger spatted at Snape.

I grinned at this. Usually Snivilus is one of the favorite of the teachers. But I could tell that this teacher was different. Miss Granger faced us and Remus raised his hand and asked,

"Professor,"

"Oh please don't call me professor. That makes me sound old and you can see that I am not old." Hermione stated with a grin.

Everyone in the room started to laugh at her joke. Her smile was welcoming and warm. There was something different about her and I wanted to know her better. I spoke up and asked,

"What can we call you love?"

The room went quiet as Miss Granger walked up to face me. She was standing in front of me now.

"What you can call me is Hermione, Miss Granger, or Granger. Not love dear." She grinned to me as she teased back. "Do I make myself clear?" She looked around and saw everyone nodded.

"Alright let's begin class now. We are going to start from the beginning. I don't care where you are at as sixth years." Miss Granger stated.

*Hermione's POV*

Everyone looked at me confused. I heard a voice from Severus Snape again say,

"How is that going to help us in real life?"

I turned around to face the class. I was tired of Snape's speaking out and trying to overrule my class room. I was not going to freak out or let my anger get the best of me.

"Mr. Snape, are you the teacher here?" I asked him sarcastic. He shook his head no. "Well, then you should not be judging my decision. I have seen with my own eyes that the simplest spells like expelliarmus can save your life."

Everyone stayed quiet. I made the tables and chairs disappear. I told everyone to partner up and start with basic spells. That if I see them do anything else then that then they are going to be dealing with me. Rest of class went by quickly. I watched as the students leave. The rest of the day went by fast just like that.

I sat at my desk playing with my locket. It was the only thing I had left from my life. It was the only thing I had left of all of them. It showed me all my memories that I had of my life, even if I don't remember them or not. It became a bad habit of playing with it. I heard a knock on the door of my class room and saw that there was the Marauders standing there.

"How can I help you boys?" I asked.

"Well, we just want to come and ask you a question?" Remus asked.

"Of course. What is your question?" I asked.

"Well, the thing is we are wondering where do you come from?" James asked me.

I paused for a minute. They could not have figured it out that I was from the future. There was no way in hell they did. I took a deep breath and asked,

"What do you mean come from?"

"Well, the thing is, our fringed Sirius here thought he saw you with the Headmaster a few days ago but you were unconcise and the Headmaster was floating you to the Hospital Wing. We were wondering if that was you. Was it?" Remus asked trying to explain his question to me.

I sighed and thought about my answer I was going to tell them. Dumbledore knew that some students might of saw something about my arrival but it was up to me to what I was going to tell them.

"Well, boys the thing is I don't know if I should tell you because I don't know if I can trust you." I started.

"You can trust us. We are very trust worthy young men." James said politely.

I looked at each boy. James, Sirius, and Remus were very handsome. Peter on the other hand still looked like he still had his baby fat. She smiled to the boys. It kind of felt like home but not at the same time. Every time she looked at James she thought of Harry. Remus and Sirius keeps coming into her mind and it's not just their life but their death too.

"Alright, yes that was me. I had a rough landing when I came. I was supposed to land in the front of Hogwarts but instead I landed in Albus' office." I told them.

"How did you get into a bad condition? I know I saw with scars and bruises." Sirius spoke up asking.

"Yes you did. I had a run in with a death eater and we had a disagreement. But everything is taken care of." I reassured them.

They were taken aback by what I just told them. Sirius smirked at me and said,

"Well, then you are one tough witch."

"Thanks." I took the complement.

I watched as the boys left my classroom to head to dinner. I didn't really want to go to dinner but my stomach thought otherwise. I headed to the Great Hall to see it packed with students and staff. I took my seat next to McGonagall.

"How was your first day of classes?" McGonagall asked.

"It went well. I think it's going to be a good year. I have to ask a private question." I stated.

"Of course. What is it?" She asked concerned.

"Well I don't know if it's appropriate to ask here. Could you meet me in my office after dinner so we can talk?" I asked.

McGonagall agreed. That night I waited for her to come to my office. I had a lot to ask her but I knew that it was not the time to ask her in the Great Hall. There was a knock on the door. I opened it to see McGonagall standing there.

"Please come in Minerva. Would you like some tea?" I asked.

McGonagall nodded. I started to make the tea. Then I sat down across of her and said,

"Thank you for coming. I have a few question that you may be able to answer truthfully." I stated.

"What are these questions?" McGonagall asked.

"I want to know if the,
