Hello fellow dramione shippers :)
It's been quite a while since I last uploaded a story, and even though I've writen a few (not yet finished) I decided to upload the one I've started recently. For any english mistakes I apologize in advance (I'm Portuguese).
I hope to hear some feedback from you, after all that's how this should work - changing some ideas with dramione fans out there :P
*Prologue*
Flashback
"Good evening professor. Professor McGonagall said you needed to see me" – Hermione said as she set a foot inside the headmaster's office, not seeing him at first.
"Oh yes my dear, do come in" – he said from upstairs with a smile. He proceeded to walk down the stairs and join her by his desk – "Care for a lemon drop, Ms. Granger?"
Hermione smiled at that, remembering the first time he had said that. "No thank you, Professor" – she said as she sat down across from the older wizard.
"You must be wondering why I called you here at this late hour"
"The thought did cross my mind. I do hope it's not for something bad…"
"Of course not, Ms. Granger" – he said smiling yet again, stretching his hand to grab one lemon drop.
"Then what happened sir? I just spoke to Harry and Ron, they were both out of trouble"
"I asked you to come so that I would tell you something and to give you something"
She looked at her teacher shocked. Most of the times it was about Harry, never directly for her…
"You do remember the time turner I leant you on your 3rd year?"
"Of course Sir. But I give it back…after helping Sirius…"
"I know you returned it to me, my dear. I'm here to give it back"
"Give it back? Oh but I can't accept it Sir" – she started.
"We never know when it might come in handy. Besides you are nearly leaving to look for the Horcruxes, there may be occasions where you will need it more then I need it myself. Consider it a gift for everything you've done Ms. Granger. It couldn't be in better hands I'm sure. But do promise me that you won't use it unless it is strictly necessary…we shouldn't meddle with time travel and there might be consequences in the future"
"I don't know what to say Sir. What I can assure you is that I won't use it in vain"
"I'm glad to hear that. There are a few precautions that you must have in mind. Time travel requires a lot of strength and power if you exaggerate there will be consequences to your own health. There is a small window of time when it can be used, 5 hours is how much you may turn back, I have not surpassed that limit myself so please be careful".
"Yes Sir, I'll do my best"
