Hey guys, it's me!
I'm so glad that you guys decided to read this even if the summary was crappy (sorry about that). Please comment, review, critique, anything, I'd love advice on how I can improve!
The night was dark; the sole light that shone was that of the moon. All was quiet in the large castle, after all, everyone had been asleep hours ago. The only noise in the castle was muffled whispers in the Gryffindor common room. Two figures sat cautious around a strange devise that resembled an old hourglass.
"Are you absolutely insane," one of the figures hissed at the other, "you can't be serious." The figure sighed as she pushed her brown hair out of her face. The person sitting next to her looked at her sternly and then returned his gaze to the odd item on the table.
"Hermione, if this thing can finally end the war before it every begun, we should obviously take advantage of it," the boy pulled the item closer. He looked at the item very closely and turned to the girl.
"Harry, stop it," Hermione whispered, exasperated, "you don't even know how to use that thing." She looked at him, pleading for him to see it her way.
Harry looked away from Hermione and took the object in his hand. It looked like an hourglass, but in the center was a dial, rusted and clearly ancient. "Come on," Harry said with a smile, "I know how to use this, after all, we traveled with this before, I mean, it's the same thing, right, only more powerful. I'll be just fine." He flashed Hermione a brilliant smile, trying to reassure her.
"How can you be so calm?" Hermione asked looking straight at Harry, "We traveled back in time one day, one day, not decades!" She sighed, "Well, there's no point, you already made up your mind. It's just that I'm worried about you. I mean, you don't know what could happen." She looked away from him.
"Are you kidding, I'll be fine. Anyway, I'm just going back to see if it works, not to do anything. Don't worry." He smiled brightly, and this time a smile found its way on to her face as well. "Well, I guess I should probably go now. I mean, before it's too late." Hermione gave a silent nod before wrapping her hands around him and getting up and standing to the back. He smiled at her as if to say "it will be okay" and grabbed the device. He spun the dial quickly, not paying much care to what date he actually spun. He held the device tightly and looked down as he waited to go to the past.
The world started to spin around Harry and disintegrated into the past. When Harry looked up he wasn't with Hermione. Nothing in the background had changed in any way or shape. Slowly and with caution, he walked outside the room.
The stairway outside the common room was the same as ever, an eerie silence filled the building. Harry looked around quietly; his eyes immediately fell up on a boy slowly treading down the stairs. The student looked really familiar, but Harry decided to keep quiet; he had done what he came to do, he knows the device works. He quickly turned away to avoid the boy from seeing him, but the boy had already noticed him. The boy seemed to be more afraid of someone seeing him, and in a mad dash he tried to run out of sight. But, the boy slipped down the long staircase and fell quickly down. He wasn't moving after the fall. Harry couldn't believe his eyes, had he killed that boy? His heart almost stopped as he heard a herd of teachers run to the aid of the student.
Panicking, Harry pulled out the device and quickly ran into the common room. He gave the dial a turn and went back to the present. He needed to talk to Hermione about what happened and more importantly he needed to get back. Within seconds, Harry found himself in the warm and familiar room he was sitting in just moments ago. But, something was different, Hermione was nowhere to be found and for some odd reason he couldn't shake the feeling that something was just not right. He quickly shrugged the feeling off, he was sure nothing was wrong. He went on with his search for Hermione.
I've always hated intros, they're are so boring, what about you guys? PLEASE review, I have the next chapters to post, If anyone likes the story.
