Chapter: 1

"Hermione, Hermione!" a pretty red-head whispered/screamed to her friend, "Get up!" Hermione's eyes flashed open and she immediately grabbed her wand which was on the dusty floor, right beside where she was sleeping.

"Is he here? What-" Hermione was cut off by Ginny who put a hand over her friends mouth.

"Shh." Ginny said quietly, "Don't worry, no one is here."

Hermione released all tension that she felt a moment ago and sagged in relief. "Well then why did you have to get me up? I haven't had a decent sleep in ages and I thought that we agreed that this hide-out was safe enough for us to get some rest?" Dark bags were under Hermione's eyes and her skin was frightfully pale. She looked much older than she should have at her age. After all she was only twenty. Three years, Hermione thought, we have been running for three years. She had remembered the battle. They had all tried so hard but it wasn't enough.

"Sorry," Ginny said apologetically, "I couldn't sleep so I went to look around." She took a breath and said, "I saw a cabinet, Hermione, like the one in Hogwarts."

Hermione just blinked at Ginny, "Ok, there is a cabinet in this house. I should be worried why…?"

"A Vanishing Cabinet, Hermione." Ginny said and watched Hermione pale.

Clearing her throat Hermione chocked out, "A- A Vanishing one?"

Ginny just nodded. "A vanishing one."

Letting out a deep breath, Hermione closed her eyes. If there was a Vanishing Cabinet here, there could be another. One with Voldemorts Death Eaters ready to come through. She could just see Voldemorts malicious smile now. The same on that he had when he killed Harry, Ron, Hagrid, Mrs. Weasley, and countless others. "We need to get out of here."

"I know." Ginny replied. She and Hermione already knew what to do. They had been in a similar situation such as this before. "I'll get our bags." Going over to the other corner of the room there were two duffle bags Ginny took out her purse and put the duffle bags into it.

Hermione got up off of the floor, her body stiff from bruises and cuts that she had collected over the past month or so, and took her wand into her hand. It had been their second night in this house; Hermione thought that it was lucky that they were still alive at all.

Ever since Voldemort had won the battle, Ginny and Hermione had been on the run. They had evaded him many times, some to close for comfort. Each time though, they had both started to get more hopeless and thoughts of dying and giving up were becoming friendly possibilities. Both of them knew that they couldn't though. They still had each other and that was comfort enough for them to keep going and trying for a possible (though unlikely) new future.

"All set." Ginny yawned, "Shall we go?"

"Yeah." Hermione and Ginny set out the abandoned house to the outside. They were surrounded by green plain with a mountain and forests in the distance. The air crisp and clean in the night sky, expanding over thousands of miles, looked down and seemed to be mocking them.

When Ginny and Hermione were first on the run they used Apparition to get around. Quickly they put a stop to that. Voldemort had put a spell so that he knew when anyone was using Apparition and almost killed the both of them when they thought that they were safe. Now they were stuck to walking which was dreadfully tiring but neither of them has ever complained once. Both had suffered far worse to think that the pain from walking so far was significant enough to say.

Ginny started forward once they were outside and Hermione followed. The only sounds were the rustling of grass and an owl. It was eerie.

Ahead, Ginny had stopped walking and slowly made her way back to Hermione, "I don't like it. It doesn't feel right to be walking in a open field at night."

A loud cackling came from the right and both girls whipped around to see Voldemort standing there, his robes that looked like a black waterfall crawling down his sickly gray skin, "Quite right young Weasley. Quite right you are." He grinned and more Death Eaters appeared at his side, "Do you know how much pain you have cost me? How much lost time? But if I dare say, your deaths will be worth it."

Ginny tugged Hermione's hand and whispered, "Vanishing Cabinet. We need to get to the Vanishing Cabinet."

Eyes still locked on Voldemort, Hermione gave her a tiny nod to let Ginny know that she heard her.

"Stupefy!" A shout came from the ranks of the Death Eaters and a jet of red light flew straight threw the air toward the two girls.

Quickly Ginny raised her wand and said quietly, "Protego Maxima." A silence came over the clearing as the opponents studied each other. Voldemort let out a laugh, "Well this should be fun." He raised his wand and yelled out, "Avada Kedavra!"

Green came towards Ginny and Hermione pushed her out of the way before ducking down herself. Shouts of spells came from the Death Eaters, "Petrificus Totalus!" "Stupefy!" "Expelliarmus!"

Ginny got up, yanking Hermione with her. Hermione shouted out a few protection spells, her ears ringing, and ran after Ginny. The house was only a few meters away. Blood pounded in Hermione's ears as she ran. A flash of light passed by her and hit Ginny square in the back who let out a terrified scream before standing completely motionless.

Hermione looked behind her and yelled out, "Stupefy!" The Death Eater curled his lip and raised his wand to put up a protection shield but the spell had already hit him and he flew backwards. Racing up to Ginny who still couldn't move, Hermione cast a charm that made Ginny lighter and picked her up, running up the stairs two at a time.

"Where are you?" Voldemorts voice came from below, "Let's not play hide and seek. I am a very efficient seeker so instead of wasting time why don't you just come out?" "Ginny!" Hermione whispered, "Where is the Vanishing Cabinet?"

The curse was coming slowly off of Ginny and she raised her arm with difficulty towards a door in the far corner. Hermione rushed forwards into the room which was plain. Cracked wall paper and old wooden floorboards and garbage littered the room. Standing in the middle was the cabinet. She knew that going through it could get her and Ginny killed but better this than by the hands of Voldemort himself. Hermione gingerly place Ginny inside before crawling in herself. It was silent.

"Hey Hermione?" Ginny asked.

"Yes?" Hermione replied, her voice quivering slightly.

"I know that it has been a long three years but I am very grateful that I could spend it with you. Even though it was really hard I am still so glad that I am alive."

Hermione was quiet for a moment before saying, "Me too, Gin. If we get out of here I am sure that we can make things change. I know it."

"Yeah." Ginny laughed, her voice cracking and tears running down her face, "Maybe they will."

Hermione and Ginny held hands tightly, eyes closed.

A scream of "NO!" came from outside but after that there was nothing more.

Ok if you do not know yet from title and such this is going to be a time travel fanfiction. Pairs are most likely going to be Sirius/Hermione Ginny/Regulus and obviously James/Lily. If you have any suggestion to how I write please say so and tell me what you think!
