Messing with Time

Prologue:
As many of you know or may have guessed, many different universes circle around in the world. A new one is created for every major decision that could have changed the world if it had gone differently.
For example, there is one universe where Gellert Grindewald and Albus Dumbledore remained friends and conquered the world together, another where Salazar Slytherin never left Hogwarts. Both of them are radically different from the main world; the world that, for lack of better words, is the real world, the one where no one up here is allowed to dabble in. That world is the one you probably either live in or have at least heard of.
That's the world where Albus Dumbledore was Headmaster of Hogwarts and killed by Severus Snape, that's the world where James Potter and Lily Evans fell in love, were betrayed by a friend and created the Boy Who Lived. That's where Harry Potter (the Boy Who Lived, obviously) saved the Philosopher's Stone, killed a basilisk, rescued his godfather, witnessed Tom Riddle's rebirth, broke into the Department of Mysteries, discovered a fake Horcrux, destroyed all of Voldemort's real Horcruxes, visited limbo, cam back, married Ginny Weasley and had three kids. I hear from my friend, Irony, that it's now a best selling fantasy book in an all muggle world.
However, I rarely ever deal with the main world. In that world, things are relatively straight forward. I set the Hourglass, occasionally make some of my sand appear in random deserts and supervise the use of Time Turners. Pretty easy.
In the other worlds, though, I have my hands full. In the other universes, most people gang up on me and purposely send back their favorites to mess with me. When that happens, I'm sent running, trying to reset paths, calculate consequences, change the Hourglass accordingly, supervise the Travelers to make sure nothing goes too awry and all at the same time try to make sure that nothing else goes haywire somewhere else or that the Travelers don't somehow bring about the end of the world before the Hourglass is empty. If they do, I get in major trouble with the Head Honchos, and that is never fun.
But that's not to say I don't like my job, oh no. Quite the opposite actually. I revel in it, in the little actions and reactions, the tiny quirks that no one else ever suspected, the wonder of the poor Travelers my co-workers decided to mess with that week.
My personal favorite universe is one that was accidentally disrupted by four people who go by the names Harry James Potter, Ronald Billus Weasley, Hermione Jean Granger and Ginerva Molly Weasley. It was one of my most complicated jobs and what makes it even better is that it was a complete accident. Now, before I tell you about it, I'll give you some background information that, if you're familiar with the Main World shouldn't confuse you too much.
See, until very recently it was a part of the Main World. It didn't break off until 1998, in the middle of what would have been Harry, Ron and Hermione's seventh year at Hogwarts had they attended school. In this universe, everything was exactly the same until the seventh years went to Bill and Fleur Weasley's (one of Romance's favorite couples) house.
Ginny Weasley had, in the Main World as well, had a huge blow out with her aunt a day after Harry, Ron and Hermione arrived at Bill and Fleur's. Because of the argument, she decided to go to Bill and Fleur's just so she didn't blow her top of. In the Main World, she was caught sneaking out, but in this universe, she arrived at Shell Cottage safely and quickly found out about the trio's (as Irony says they're called in the all Muggle world) plan to break into Gringotts.
Using a combination of blackmail, sheer stubbornness and threatens, she managed to wear the trio down. Ginny Weasley was now part of the Gringotts' break-in. From there, everything continued about the same, with Ginny also hiding under the Invisibility Cloak with Harry and Griphook. However, it changed dramatically after they found the cup and burst through the vault door's to face a traitorous goblin, a horde of Gringotts' workers and a dragon. From there, things altered rather dramatically. As such, that's where I'll start the story: with Griphook running out of the vault…
A/N: Okay. This was an idea that suddenly came upon me while sitting in my EAL class trying (and failing) to pay attention. I wrote it down, and already have several chapters written up. However, I don't know if I ought to continue to post, or if it's just not worth it. If you'd like to see this continued, please let me know. If not, please let me know. Oh, and, if I continue to post, you'll find out who the narrator is, but, for now, if you think you know, guess! I'd like to see how many people know and how many are just super confused. Also, this chapter's only purpose was information and explanations of the rest of the fic. Anywho, I'd really appreciate it if you'd leave me a review. Thanks for reading!
