Chapter 1:

Hermione had to work late one evening, long enough that when she did come home it was early in the morning. The ministry's work had kept her there all day and she was getting tired of it. When she came home that morning Ronald was asleep on the couch downstairs with an empty bottle of fire whiskey in his hand. Hermione was tempted to go over and wake him but it gave her space and if he'd been drinking violence takes over and beating her today wasn't something she wanted to do. She quietly went upstairs and to the secret room she had hidden within their bedroom. Today was the day a potion she had been working on for years would finally be ready. One that would allow her mind to travel back to when she was younger so she could stop herself from making the biggest mistake ever in being with Ronald. She prayed Ron was still asleep not hearing the door open. She went over to a table that had potion bottles and one half full of a pink bubbling potion and she smiled to herself.

"Finally..." she took the bottle and closed her eyes Goodbye Ronald. She thought to herself as she drank the potion She was soon in the mind of her thirteen year old self and she smiled. Okay listen up this is going to sound strangely odd but im from the future the younger hermione frowned Prove it. How can you be from the future? Older hermione showed her memories on Ron and the abuse You can never be with him ever. Your true love is Harry Potter he has feelings for us too just can't admit it until your both married to other people.

"Hermione you coming?" A voice asked in the distance as a fourteen year old girl snapped out of the conversation she was having with her future self she looked over seeing Harry waving her over and she hurried along to catch up.

"Im sorry... .Just spaced out I suppose.." She smiled taking his hand as the two walked down the hallway

"Seemed like it was important thought whatever it was." He said with a smirk nudging her side softly with his elbow.

"Harry...Can we talk?" She asked knowing that she was the only friend he had at a time right now after his name came out of the goblet of fire everyone has been ignoring him and he nodded.

"Of course we can." He said pulling her off to a corner in the halls.

"I uh... Im I think..." she laughed slightly taking a breath. "I love you...Not in a brother sister way but more Roman-" She was interupted by a feeling of warm soft lips against hers. Confused at first but she kissed him back softly wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled away.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He asked having hands around her waist and she nodded with tears in her eyes.

"What do you think you idiot?" She smiled and kissed him softly keeping him close as she hugged him
