The Beginning.
Flashback
The fire had spread throughout half the school grounds. It was hard to breathe let alone be aware of all of our surroundings. The school had been coming to the ground in shambles. I wasn't worried about myself at all it was my family I had built at Hogwarts I was worried about. My insides were filled with the agony of hope. The hope that everyone would come out alive and the end of the Dark Lord would finally happen. I was in love with Fredrick Weasley and as soon as the war was over I was going to spill everything I had been feeling since we met at Hogwarts. Whether he returned the sentiment or not was a risk I was willing to take. You fall in love with the most unexpected person at the most unexpected time. My love for him never stops, it grows constantly like the endless abyss and I could no longer hold it back.
I was near Fred and Percy when I was knocked back from a spell that missed me by a hair and hit a window. The glass shards went everywhere and small pieces shot though at my chest above the collar bone. I let out a loud tormenting scream.
"Stupefy!… Granger, are you okay?" screamed Fred.
"It's okay, I'm fine" I said weakly.
"No one can touch the brightest witch of our days!" grinned Fred. He reached out his hand and pulled me up. I smiled and he let go running down the hall.
"Be careful won't you! You silly git!" I screamed as he ran further away.
"Aww, Granger you fancy me don't…" Fred started to say.
BOOM! The hallway ceiling came tumbling down on top of him. It happened too fast I couldn't stop it.
"NO! NO! NO! NO!" I repeated over and over. My eyes instantly filled with tears. The ocean taste hit my lips and I started to remove what rocks I could. I seen his head, smile still on his face. I started crying uncontrollably. Angelina and Percy ran over and dropped to their knees. They tried to pull me up and I smacked their hands away got up and started to run.
This is not happening to me. I kept running as fast as I could up to the girl's dormitory. This is not happening and I will fix this. I kept yelling at myself and wiping the constant flowing tears from my eyes. "Accio Time-turner!" I screamed impatiently. A small sand filled hourglass necklace shot in my hand and I ran to the common room. I know using the Time-Turner is against everything I stand for but he was my everything so I was willing to risk it all. I went to the fireplace and pulled out about four bricks and whispered a charm. I then pulled out Harry's invisibility cloak. He had put it there in case of an emergency and i will definitely owe him my life. I wrapped myself in it and turned the knob once on the Time Turner.
My surroundings become blurry with every color and then in an instant I was back in time and then ran. I never have jogged so fast in my life and I quickly ended up in the hallway before I was being attacked. I started to hypervenlate and had to breathe to calm myself. "You can do this Granger. No one seen you everyone is distracted. Breathe." I overheard my other self calling Fred a git and snapped out of my daze instantly. Fred started to respond and I seen the spark of green hit the hallway ceiling and it started to fall.
"Arresto Momemtum" I said fully focused. The shambles stopped for a moment before Fred could even begin to know what was going on he ran back out of area and then everything dropped crumbling every which way.
Fred had started bursting out laughing and smirked at me.
"What's the fun without a bit of risk huh Granger?" He said with such lightness as if he had no idea what could of happened. Percy and Angelina had caught up to him. They took off down the hall to the Death Eaters who tried to kill Fred and they were all gone.
I looked over at myself standing there looking so relieved. My other self will disappear soon so, I took a deep breath and started to head back to the dormitory. This madness will end soon I know Harry will finish it and I will not stop until it is over. I took off Harry's cloak sooner than I should have and ran straight into George Weasley.
"Hermione? I just talked to you in the hall to make sure you were okay. How did you get in front of me?" He said curiously.
I was speechless. Before I could say anything he quickly turned around running back without listening to my demands to stop and he seen my old self disappear.
"Bloody hell." yelled George. He whipped around and stared at me. "You have some explaining to do Ms. Granger but we will discuss this when there are less Death Eaters around. They're making too much noise my ears might explode." He winked and ran off.
It could have been worse I thought to myself. At least Fred was okay. I hide the cloak and Time-Turner then went to help whoever I could. I started running and next thing I knew I see Harry.
"Hermione look out! Ascendio!" He screamed while shooting a spell right at me and sending me on top of an empty tower.
Darkness.
