Hey guys. So I've had this story in my mind for a little while, and since I've been having some trouble on my other story, I decided to start writing this one before I forgot. I know I suck at summaries, but hopefully the story will be better. Enjoy! ^_^

Normal POV
Harry, Hermione, and Ron had been searching for the horcruxes for almost 4 years. It hadn't been an easy task, and the fact that Death Eaters were everywhere weren't helping. Whenever they got the chance, the trio would visit the Burrow to see how everyone else was doing. It saddened them to know that every time they returned, there was more sadness around the once cheerful home. During this time, Hermione and Ginny had become close friends. Hermione started acting like a protective older sister, and Ginny didn't seem to mind. It was also during these visits that Hermione and Ginny began working on animagus forms. The pain of death and loss wasn't enough to stop the girls from trying to become stronger to protect the ones who were still alive.
The deaths started with Fred Weasley. He and George had been on their way to pick up some food to take back to the Burrow, but a group of Death Eaters noticed them behind the hoods they had been wearing. Fred died from the killing curse immediately, but George had been unlucky and had a curse used on him that injured him and he made his way back to his home. After he managed to reach the Burrow, he had already lost too much blood. The second twin died later that night. It pained everyone to know that there would no long be any laughter and pranks from the twins.
The next death had been shortly after Remus' wedding. Remus and Tonks finally decided that since they had already had Teddy and he was reaching his 3rd birthday, it would be a good time to have a wedding. The light mood would hopefully bring back some more hope and happiness. Even in such a dark time, there needed to be some happiness was what they told anyone who asked them why not wait till after the war. The wedding had been beautiful. Everyone seemed happy, and for that moment it seemed like there was no war. Remus had thanked his former students for stopping the hunt for the horcruxes in order to be at his wedding. After the laughter had finally died down, everyone went home and went to bed. Unfortunately, nobody knew that in just three days, the newly married couple and their son would be victims to another death. The couple had been at home eating when a pack of werewolves came bursting through the front door. Remus told Tonks to take Ted and go to the burrow. As she ran out of the room to grab her son, the group killed Remus. The beautiful woman didn't have time to get to her son before the killing curse was sent her way and just as she hit the ground, the child was killed. It didn't take long for the news to reach everyone, and the family and friends mourned their loss. Hermione and Mrs. Weasley had been making the new batch of wolfsbane potion for Remus when they heard the news. Hermione and Harry had always looked up to Remus and had been the saddest of the group.
The next set of deaths were the remaining Weasley boys, Fleur, and Luna Lovegood. Ron and Hermione had decided that they liked each other better as friends. Shortly after their decision to remain as such, Ron and Luna started falling in love. It was reaching the fifth year for the search of the horcruxes, and Bill thought that he might have found one. He wasn't sure if he had though so he and Ron decided for Harry to stay hidden for the time being. Ron and Luna left the safety of the home to meet up with Charlie, Bill, and his wife. Unfortunately, the couple never made it back. It had been a trap in order to get to the-boy-who-lived. Since he hadn't gone with them, the members of the order that were present were killed. Fleur had been hit with the killing curse the moment they arrived and Bill died crying and holding onto his deceased wife. Charlie put up a long fight, but eventually he had grown too tired to fight anymore and he lost his life. Ron and Luna had managed to contact the others but told them not to come because there were too many wizards. When they attempted to apparate, they discovered that a spell had been cast around the area so no one could apparate. The couple died holding hands. Mrs. And Mr. Weasley cried for the loss of their last sons. Ginny, Harry, and Hermione cried for the loss of their brothers. After so long, it was only natural for the friends to consider the Weasley family their own.
Ginny and Hermione had finally finished there animagus forms and thought that was one good thing despite the sadness that seemed to linger around every corner. Hermione's form was that of a black panther. Ginny's was a beautiful white horse. Ginny and Harry began to worry that they would lose the other. The family didn't want anyone else to leave in fear that they would be the next to die. Another year had passed (6 years) and the two 23 year olds and the 22 year old needed to leave and get supplies. Hermione had insisted that she go alone, but everyone agreed that she shouldn't go alone and she should have backup if she needed it. During their outing a group of Death Eaters showed up, but hadn't noticed them. They had to find a place to hide. While they were hiding, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were sleeping in there bed and were killed. After they returned and mourned for the couple, the group buried them behind the burrow.
The group decided they had to hurry and find the remaining horcruxes. The task only became harder the longer time was spent searching. More and more Death Eaters were showing up and Hogwart was teaching wizards and witches how to become Death Eaters and was only teaching dark magic. With all the running the group had to do, there was little time to actually search for the horcruxes. One day, while reading in their newest hiding place, Hermione came across a strange spell. After reading, Hermione's hope was restored. 'This is it! This is what we need!' Unable to contain her excitement, Hermione ran over her best friends. "Okay, I want both of you to hear me out, okay?" After sending each other a confused look, they nodded. "I found something that could help us. It's a spell that will send you back in time. We can go back and change this future. We can go and stop You-know-who in the past. Before he kills you parents Harry, and before he has the chance to make us lose everyone that is dear to us." After telling her 'family' about the spell, their faces immediately lit up. Once they were sure that they were going to use the spell, Voldemort entered the room. Harry died fighting at the seventh year. As Voldemort came over into the room, the three realized they needed to use the spell that moment. Just as they were about to use the spell, Voldemort killed the boy of the prophesy. Hermione and Ginny couldn't help the tears that began to fall. The last words that were spoken the girls made them decide on a new objective. "Ginny. Hermione. Finish what we started. Help everyone." As Harry's eyes dulled and Voldemort's laugh filled the room, the hatred filled women thought the same thing. 'I'll make him pay. And he will regret what he has done, even if he doesn't know what he is being punished for.' The girls quickly finished the spell while holding hands, and they disappeared. They felt a light tugging and opened their eyes.
'An extremely complex spell, the Time Secret (couldn't think of a name) is picky with who uses it. The Time Secret allows a person or more to go back in time. If a person is going back in order to cause death and destruction, the person will not make it through the spell. After the spell is used, there will be a white room. This is will look into the witch or wizards soul and see what they intend to go back in time for. If you are considered worthy, you will be allowed to choose the time and place you wish to go to. This spell will also allow you to change your appearance in order to look the age you want. One thing to remember when using this spell is that time is complicated. Change only what you think needs to be.'
After opening their eyes, the women realized they were in a pure white room. They could still feel the tears streaming down their face. Suddenly, and soft voice filled the room. "It's been a while since this spell was last used. Please, tell me why you need to use it." From the tone, the girls could tell it was a woman's voice. Hermione was the first to speak. "We need to go back to save those dear to us. Look into our minds and you can see what the world has become. Look into our minds and see who we need to save. See who we lost." Hermione's voice became weak and she could no longer trust herself to speak. She tried to hold in her tears, but it was becoming harder. After a moment of silence, the voice spoke again. "I see the pain you have gone through. I accept your reasons for going back. This will be the last time we speak to each other. One thing before the spell is finished. I sense that you are animagi. I will have your animal form tattooed onto your lower arms. They will serve as a reminder of who you are and where you come from. Now please, tell me where you wish you go, what age you wish to be seen as, and what time." Seeing that her older sister could no longer talk, Ginny spoke. "We want to go to Hogwarts in 1975. The year Harry's parent went to school, and we would like to look 15." "Very well. From what I have seen from both of your memories, school starts September 1st, so I will send you to the beginning of August to give you time. Farewell." After the last word was finished, Hermione and Ginny fell asleep, and for the first time in years, their dreams weren't filled with nightmares of their dead family and friends.
Okay. So how was it? Hermione's animal form is a black panther because I like that animal. Ginny's is a while horse because her patronus is a horse. Sorry if it isn't that good.
