Hello everyone! This story is a crazy idea and I do not know from what corner of my crazy mind this is came out ...

Before starting I have a couple of warnings:

first I do not own anything ... J.K. Rowling owns the characters of H.P.

Second, in this story there aren't only Harry Potter characters but also a few that come from the film Centurion ... this fanfic is set in the places of the film. However, those who have not seen (watch it, it's worth it) don't worry because this story has very little to do with the plot of the film.

Third, Centurion is a film about the Romans in 117 AD set in Britain, it speaks of the conquest of britain and the war between the Romans and the people of the Picts. I just borrowed some characters making them interact with HP's characters.

Oook now let begin with the story!

Chapter 1: Peskypisky pesternomi

"Harry, Ron, hurry up! We're late!" said Hermione to her two best friends as they ran down the hallway.

They were heading towards the class of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and were already ten minutes late.

"Oh Hermione just because you want to see that clown of Lockhart!" Ron said as Harry laughed.

"He's not a clown, is our teacher and you're just jealous because all the girls look at him"

Ron did not have time to fight back because now they had arrived at the door of the classroom. Hermione pushed it open and walked in, followed closely by Harry and Ron.

"Ah, here you are! Come sit down, I was just about to start "

Lockhart greeted them with his brilliant smile. Hermione sighed in relief that they had not lost any points. She sat in the front row, Harry to her right and Ron behind them.

While Hermione was preparing her books she noticed that on the teacher's desk there was a cage covered with a blue sheet.

"So ..." began Lockhart "What was I saying?"

Another smile, this time for a Ravenclaw girl who blushed slightly before answering his question.

"You were going to tell us what's inside that cage"

"Very well. This is ... today's lesson! "

With a quick wave of his wand he lifted the sheet, revealing about twenty little blue creatures that were flying like crazy inside the cage.

"Goblins of Cornwall?" Said Seamus Finnigan while almost all the other students were laughing.

"Exactly, Mr. Finnigan! They can be evil if you make them angry "Lockhart smiled "Now ... let's see what you can do! "

With these words he hit the cage with his hand, making shake the goblins, and then he opened it.

Twenty angry goblins flew around the class, throwing everything they could reach.

The chaos broke out among the students, many were hiding under their desks and the bravest were trying to hit the goblins with their books. Amid the confusion Lockhart shouted to remain calm, but when two goblins raised Neville Longbottom, students began to flee from the class.

In the room there were now only Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, the professor and Draco Malfoy, who was laughing uncontrollably.

"Professor do something!" cried Hermione noting that the situation wasn't about to get any better.

"Ok guys, keep calm, I will handle this! Now open your eyes, you're going to see the great Gilderoy Lockhart in action! "

With this phrase the professor pulled out his wand, positioned himself at the center of the room and yelled: "PESKYPISKY PESTERNOMI"

Suddenly the wand of Lockhart sprang a chasm that began to suck every living being in the room.

Neville was the first to enter the vortex and disappeared, followed by Ron, Harry, Hermione, Malfoy and finally Lockhart himself.

After a few seconds of panic where everything seemed to be a blur, Hermione fell to the ground with a thud. At first all she saw was white and couldn't figure out where she was, the ground beneath her looked like that of a forest, but how could it be?

Then she heard the voices of her friends and her view returned to her. They had landed in the middle of a forest, near she could hear the noise of a river.

"Where are we?" Was asking Harry, "Professor, where have you brought us?"

Hermione turned to the left and saw Lockhart look around himself with an expression as amazed as theirs.

"You guys are all right?" asked Lockhart, avoiding Harry's question.

"Yes," they all replied in unison.

"Ugh, this sucks!" Malfoy said, standing up and brushing off his robe, "What kind of place is this?"

All turned their attention to Lockhart, who was desperately trying to buy time.

"Um ... I ... the spell ..."

"Professor answer us!" cried Hermione, trying not to panic.

"I do not know! The spell had to carry the goblins, not us! "

"What! you don't know where you sent us? Aarrgh! Wait until my father knows!"

"Malfoy keep calm!" Said Hermione, recovering her composure, "it is useless to fight, we are in this together. We need to think and find a way to get back home "

"Hermione is right," Harry interjected, "But now we should light a fire, is coming dark. Don't worry, soon Dumbledore will save us "

Ron and Neville gathered a bit of wood, then Harry pulled out his wand and shouted: "INCENDIO"

But nothing happened. Everyone tried to cast the spell, but none of them worked.

"Great, now what do we do professor?" Malfoy spat the last word "The magic doesn't work!"

Lockhart was about to say something, but suddenly they heard the sound of hooves and the five of them saw a man in armor on horseback coming towards them.

"And-and W-Who is him?"

"I don't know Neville, but let me do the talking. I'll try to find out where we are and in what year"

The four guys nodded at Hermione's words and waited for the man to reach them.

"Who are you? What are you doing here? "The man asked abruptly stopping the horse in front of them.

"Who are you to ask us questions in this way?" Hermione replied.

"I am Titus Flavius Virilus, commander of the Ninth Roman Legion, stationed in Britain. Now answer me "

Hermione's brain was working quickly, if he was a Roman it means that they had been taken back in time. Certainly she couldn't say that they came from the future, so she decided to lie and try to be led to his camp to find more out.

"We are British. A barbarian people destroyed our village, now we are homeless and we are the only survivors "

Hermione dropped some tears during her speech, hoping to move the general.

"I see," he replied, "They must have been the Picts, those bastards are destroying everything ..."

The soldier looked at the boys and said, "Well, follow me. I'll take you to the camp. The governor Agricola will decide what to do with you".

The five of them began to follow the commander and after a while Harry whispered, "Hermione what are you doing?"

"It will take time before Dumbledore manages to take us back. It is better to be with the Romans. He said that there are dangerous people. The Romans can offer us protection "she explained, taking care not to be heard by the soldier " We are young and healthy. If all goes as I think they will ask you to join the legion, you must say yes "Hermione finished.

"What?"

"She's right Malfoy. It is the best way to wait for the arrival of Dumbledore ... I cannot wait to join the army! "

After the statement of Ron silence fell between them as they approached the camp.

"Hey Virilus" yelled a soldier as they entered the camp "Who are they? They seem a bit too clean to be Picts! Ahahahah! "

"Haha! I don't know who they are, I'm taking them to Agricola "

Five minutes later the boys and Lockhart were in front of a tent larger than the others.

"This is the tent of Agricola, he will decide your fate. Wait here "

With this Virilus entered the tent.

"W-what d-do we do now?"

Neville was nervous, he was a Gryffindor, but he couldn't see himself as a soldier.

"Stay calm Neville, everything will be fine" Harry said.

Neville nodded and soon after the curtain opened. Virilus appeared and told them that the governor was waiting for them.

They went into the tent and Hermione relaxed when she felt the warmth of the place, it was dark outside now, and they were freezing.

At the center of the tent there was an old man sit at a table, with a map in front of him. He had to be the governor.

"So, you are the foreigners ... what happened to you?"

Hermione hesitated a moment before answering Agricola's question.

"The ... Picts ... destroyed our village, we have nothing now. We just want to take revenge "

Hermione knew that the Romans were at war with the Picts, so she thought that was the best way to get enlist in the legion.

"Mmm ... Revenge? I can give you the opportunity to avenge your families, "said Agricola after a minute of silence that seemed endless "The boys can join the legion"

They all nodded.

"Tomorrow I will give you your armor and you will start the training with the other soldiers under the command of General Virilus" Then the governor turned to Hermione.

"For you, however I have another idea ... Soldier!"

"Yes, sir," said a guard.

"Where is she?"

"Who? The Pict woman? "

"Of course! Who else? "Exclaimed Agricola.

"She's at the river, sir"

"Go get her, take her to me!"

The soldier swallowed hard then said: "Y-yes sir" and left the tent.

"While we wait tell me your names"

This time Lockhart spoke up and said the names of his students: "These are Draco, Harry, Ron, Neville and Hermione," he cleared his throat, "And I'm Gilderoy Lockhart! Order of Merlin Third Class ... "

The governor looked at the boys with a strange expression on his face.

"Oh don't you worry governor" Draco began "Gilderoy took a blow to the head during the attack of the Picts"

Agricola nodded and at that moment the previous soldier entered the tent:

"Sir! I brought the Pict woman"

"Well, send her in."

The curtain opened and walked in a beautiful woman, she must have been about twenty-five. Her hair was long and black, some was gathered over her head in a pony tail, the rest fell in curls on her shoulders until the middle of her back. In her hand she carried a spear and a white fur coat was on her shoulders. Hermione noticed also that she had a wolf tatued on her neck.

"Good evening Etain" Agricola greeted her.

The woman nodded slightly.

"Do you see these guys? The Picts have destroyed their village, tomorrow they will join the legion "then he pointed Hermione "I want this girl to stay with you, her name is Hermione and I do not want the soldiers to... misunderstand her presence here. Do you understand me? "

The woman nodded again and then Agricola turned to Hermione:

"Hermione, she is Etain, my best tracker and hunter. She can find anything anywhere. Go with her and you'll be safe "

Hermione nodded, said goodbye to her friends and followed Etain out the tent.

Etain and Hermione crossed almost the whole camp, the girl noticed that the soldiers threw nasty looks at them but no one dared to approach.

Etain stopped in front of a tent at the end of the camp and motioned for her to enter. Inside the tent Etain, still without saying a word, gave her some clothes and helped her to change, then she left the tent and lit a fire.

Hermione followed her and sat by her side, wondering whys he did not speak to her.

If I have to be with her, we should at least try to become friends.

Hermione thought and decided to ask her some questions.

"Your name is Etain, isn't it?"

She nodded.

"You've been here long?"

She nodded again.

"Were you born here?"

She shook her head. Now Etain was irritating her, she couldn't at least say a word?

"Look, you cannot talk at all?" Hermione said a bit too loud.

Etain looked her in the eyes, then shook her head and opened her mouth.

Hermione looked at her and then covered her own mouth with her hand. This woman had cut out her tongue!

"Oh my god! Etain sorry, I-I didn't know! I'm so sorry ... "

Etain put a finger on her lips and smiled, letting her know that she didn't have to apologize.

"Who did this to you?"

Etain pointed a group of soldiers who was sitting nearby.

"When?"

Etain made a gesture with her hand and Hermione realized that it had been when she was still a child.

"I hate them" whispered Hermione unaware that Etain could hear perfectly.

Etain smiled again, very weird thing for her, then got up and went into the tent. Hermione followed her, and together they prepared to sleep.

Who is this woman? What happened to her make her so cold towards everyone? Well, almost everyone ... with me she is pretty nice.

She thought before sleep.

She is so beautiful ...

It was her last thought before falling asleep.
