Author's Note: Well how do you do, y'all? Thanks for dropping by to give my humble short story a peek! There are four things you should know before you read anything else, if you don't mind.
One—this story IS FINISHED! Meaning, I have written it all before posting, and will be updating frequently; you need not worry about this story being abandoned.
Two—it's not a super long story; quite the contrary, actually: thirteen chapters, plus the prologue and epilogue. That being said…
Three—this was a fic written because of a little plot bunny that hopped across my path one day and seemed too fun to pass up. While writing this fic, I realized there was a lot you can do with the whole time travel idea (as I'm sure has been done before, anyway); and that you can really go into some detail and make an interesting plot out of it. But I know how common these kinds of fics are, so I figure I shouldn't bother making mine complicated. Instead, it's all fun and fluff—my favourite!
Last but not least, four—my author's notes will not always be this long, don't worry.

Prologue
Time itself is a very complicated thing, and strange; but Time traveling is far more dangerous than mere Time: one can easily get caught up in Its hold, trapped, confused, stuck in a Time and place that is not their own. Many people, Wizards and Witches alike, have discovered the hard way that which Time can do; some have died because of their meddling in Time…others, have faced consequences far worse than death.
But it is said by those who have come to learn the ways of Time that all one needs to do to make traveling through Time easy is to make sure you never take it lightly; for Time is a very serious thing, and more powerful than any Wizard. But if Time is treated with caution, than one can find that traveling through It to be a rather remarkable experience.
But for those who regard Time simply, and act upon the things to come and the things that passed rashly, terrible things await. Should one go back and change something that has happened, they will find themselves taking a large risk perhaps not worth what they are trying to change. Does everything happen for a reason? Maybe yes and maybe no, but if you change something that was supposed to happen and did not, you may find yourself in a whole heap of a lot of trouble.
And that is precisely what a young Witch, Hermione Granger, found herself in one day while Time Traveling: a lot of trouble. And if she is to get out of the tangled web she has caught herself in, she must not act rashly, and keep in mind all that she has learned. Time decides to take her on a bumpy adventure ride, and if she is not careful, she too, like many Witches before her, will discover the horrors that Time can do to those in the past, the present, and the future.
COMING NEXT TIME!
Will we actually get a decent-length chapter instead of this strange rambling thing? What will happen to Hermione? Is anybody interested in beta-ing this story? And will anyone review? ;)
Next update: Expect it sometime next week; Wednesday the 26th, maybe. Cheers!
