Hi everyone! This is my first time writing and actually publishing a Harry Potter fan-fiction, well actually any fan-fiction, my name is kailah (pronounced kayla) and I love reading about Hermione and the Marauders! Please, read and review, thanks guys!
Disclaimer: I do not own any settings or characters in Harry Potter that is all the amazing work of the one and only, JK Rowling.
Chapter One: Trouble
"Hermione?" Harry asked walking towards her.
"Hmm?" Hermione mumbled, too interested in her book to take in what Harry was saying.
Hermione sat in the library, at the furthest table from the door surrounded by books, one large book lying on the table in front of her, 'Time Travelling with Time Turners'.
"What are you reading?" Harry asked curiously as he approached the table where Hermione sat.
"Oh, nothing in your interest, as it doesn't contain any information on Quidditch" Hermione said, finally looking up at Harry and then getting up in search of another book.
Ron stumbled into the isle where Hermione and Harry now stood.
"Oi, what you two doing?" Ron said loudly as he stood next to Harry, leaning against the shelves.
"Would you be quiet? We are in a library, and I would hate to be kicked out!" Hermione hissed at Ron, storming off back to her books.
She took the books she wished to borrow and walked to the counter, where Madam Pince was waiting to scan them. Once Hermione had her books she made her way up the 5 flights to the Gryffindor common room.
"Fortuna Major" Hermione said, as the fat lady swung open revealing the 5th year Gryffindors sitting in small groups, studying for their up-coming OWL's (Ordinary Wizarding Level Exams). Hermione brushed past the scattered groups up to the girls' dorm and sat cross-legged on her bed.
"The Time-Turner resembles an hourglass on a necklace. The number of times one turns the hourglass corresponds to the number of hours one travels back in time." Hermione read from 'Time Travelling with Time Turners'. She leant over the end of her bed and struggled to pull her suitcase up, she rummaged through it, in-search of her time turner and put it around her neck as she continued to read aloud;
"It is extremely important that the user of a Time-Turner must not be seen by past or future versions of themselves unless, of course, said versions are aware of their usage of a Time-Turner. A possible scenario is a wizard/witch killing their past or future selves by mistake." Hermione finished the sentence with a huff, as she held up her own time turner and read the inscription written on it.
"I mark the hours every one nor have I yet outrun the sun. My use and value unto you are gauged by what you have to do."
Just as Hermione finished reciting the inscription three girls came in and Hermione quickly pulled off her necklace and threw it into her suitcase.
"What was that 'Mione?" Alison, a not-so-friendly fifth year, ordered.
"Nothing, I didn't have anything" Hermione said pulling her clothes over the gold chain.
Jane and Rachel, the other two fifth years, stood either side of Hermione and her suitcase. "It's a necklace Alison" Jane announced, as Rachel reached over and started to remove Hermione's clothes out of her suitcase until she found the necklace. Rachel passed it to Jane who looked at it for a minute, before passing it to Alison, who laughed and turned the hourglass.
"Don't do that!" Hermione squealed, though Alison kept turning it as she could see it made Hermione panic. The time turner made a faint buzzing noise and started twirling fiercely, "Argh, you fix it!" Alison screeched, holding up the time turner and then throwing it around Hermione's neck.
"No! Alison, you stupid, idiotic little bi-" but Hermione was cut off by another faint buzzing noise and then in a matter of seconds she was whisked away into thin air, leaving the three fifth years dumbstruck in their dorm.
