Love Changes People
Chapter 1
Hermione was on the Hogwarts ground fighting against death eaters. Ron jumped in front of a killing curse for her before he could ever tell her he loved her. All her dreams wisped away by one action.
She collapsed to the ground and cradled his head in her lap. Hermione knew there was a war raging in front of her, but all she could see was death.
She stroked his hair and said, "I will avenge you, Ron. I love you."
Hermione got up determine to find who fired the killing curse. She turned into a revenge stricken person. She looked around and saw Harry fighting Voldemort and they both died as backlash of the killing curse. She started firing heavy spells at the death eaters around her.
Lestrange fired a spell at her and it didn't hit her, but the time turner hanging around her neck nestled between layers of clothing.
Hermione began to feel dizzy as time changed around her. She was sent back 54 years back to 1943. As the spinning stopped she passed out.
When she woke up a young male was standing above her. The young male had wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes that were almost black. Her first thought was that he was handsome and then her eyes landed on the head boy badge.
She asked, "What year is it?"
"October 1943," replied the mysterious guy.
She was shocked and at the same time scared to change future events. He looked utterly confused about why she seemed so shocked. Then it finally clicked into place that Voldemort was at Hogwarts right now.
He asked, "Do you have amnesia?"
She said, "No, I just need to see Professor Dumbledore."
She stood up and almost fell passing out. He caught her before she hit the ground. From falling on the ground from passing out the first time she was bleeding.
He carried her to the hospital wing and checked for any other inflictions. There were cuts adorning her body. Some were major and some minor and bruises. The healer checked over her and healed her.
When she came to consciousness Dumbledore and Headmaster Dippet were by her bed.
Headmaster Dippet asked, "Who might you be, young lady? I don't think I've seen you here before."
Hermione lied, "My name is Hermione Grant and I was homeschooled by my mother since I was young and something happened so we had to move back to England and she wanted me to come to Hogwarts."
Dumbledore noticed the time turner hiding beneath her shirt. He knew she wasn't from this time and would approach her about it later.
Dippet said, "Well, we'll get you sorted and what year are you in?"
She replied not really lying, "My seventh year I suppose, sir."
He nodded and said, "We'll get you sorted and signed up for classes right away and have your schedule for you by morning. I'll have our head boy escort you to the great hall."
He appeared through the doors and Dumbledore said, "This is Tom Riddle and he'll escort you to the great hall."
That was the guy who found her. It was Harry's mortal enemy and she cursed herself for thinking he was handsome.
He said, "I am Tom Riddle and who might you be?"
Hermione lied, "I'm Hermione Grant, a seventh year."
Tom said, "Let's head to the great hall then."
She got up and he escorted her through the halls to the great hall. They walked through the large elm doors and a bunch of girls glared at her.
Dippet said, "We have a new student joining us this year. I hope you all welcome Hermione Grant."
She walked up to the front and got the hat placed on her head.
He said, "Peculiar. I've never sorted a person twice. You must be a time traveler. You are cunning like a Slytherin, intelligence like a Ravenclaw, loyal like a hufflepuff, and courageous like a Gryffindor, but where to put you."
Hermione said, "Not Slytherin."
He asked, "Not Slytherin ehh? Then Gryffindor!"
Hermione trotted over to the table and sat away from anyone not wanting to make friends with people trying not to make it too hard to leave when she was done stopping Voldemort.
Coming to sit next to her was William Weasley, Minerva McGonagall, and John Potter. William and John resembled her best friends in the future strangely and it made her miss Ron and Harry. It was strange knowing her teacher when she was at Hogwarts.
Minerva said, "I'm head girl so if you ever need anything you can ask me."
Hermione said, "I'm Hermione Grant and I am new here."
Will said, "Don't worry we'll help you around this place."
They chatted all through dinner and the guys walked her to the common room knowing guys might want to eat her up because she was fresh meat, but none of them knew she was muggleborn.
Abraxus Malfoy ran into them and said, "Hey, guys look at the bushy haired freak."
"Shut up you bastard before I give you something to really laugh about," said Hermione.
Will said, "You shouldn't talk to him like that Malfoy rules the school beside Tom Riddle."
John said, "Beware of Tom Riddle though. He has a short fuse although teachers love him, but don't let him charm you."
Hermione asked, "Why should i be scared of him?"
William informed, "He has been known to get very very angry, but he covers the attacks up."
Hermione said, "I'll try not to anger him."
They all went to the common room and Hermione headed up to the dormitory and went to the bed that had a trunk with her name on it also a letter.
Hermione Grant,
You didn't have any things beside a wand so I took it upon myself to get you some school things
Professor Dumbledore
P.S. there is money in a small bag so you can get yourself a familiar
She was thankful not to use old books like Harry had to, but it was too kind of him to do that for a new student. Inside the trunk were Gryffindor robes and clothes that were adjustable in case they were too big or too small, books, quills, ink, parchment, and some sweets.
She muttered, "Of course there would be sweets."
She lay down in the bed and thought about the good times she had shared with her best friends. Finally she fell asleep crying herself asleep silently knowing they were dead unless she did something to change it.
