"Hermione! Listen to yourself, this is crazy!" I rolled my eyes at my scar headed friend.
"I know what I'm doing, Harry, I've already weighed the pros and cons. Just let me do what I need to do, alright?" He glared at me.
"I'd rather you be depressed."
"I am, harry! Ron's dead, do you expect me to be excited?!"
"No." He pulled the book I was holding out of my hand. "Why are you doing this Hermione, why are you so sure it will work, even if you make it?"
I sighed, "Which version do you want? Long or short?"
"Long." I nodded.
"It started in third year. I was using the time turner when it occurred to me, what if there is no real set time zone? If you take into account that technically, you can watch yourself go back and continue on with your life as is and your other self goes and does whatever they may in the past, then why not change something? What if, in actuality there are several different time lines can coexist at the same time? He stopped me.
"What?"
"Okay, take a coin for instance, it has two sides, each with a different timeline. In one, a baby is born and lives, on another's it dies, but one is more possible than the next, so who is to say that one couldn't change something to make sure that the baby lives?" I looked at him.
"Mione, listen to yourself! Bad things happen to people who mess with time, remember?!" I shook my head.
"No, no they don't, not unless they let it," he looked confused, "Ferdinand James, famous scientist from the 60's was the first person who went back in time and did something, changed something. He went back to prevent the death of his wife and supposedly disappeared with her when he went back. But look at this."
I snatched the book from Harry's hand and opened it to a page from the book that had a picture of two people, in 1923. There was no mistaking who it was.
"Ferdinand and Eliza James, three children all of whom were born in the twenties, but the two showed up out of nowhere in an undeveloped area, they built James Manor where they appeared." I smiled.
"Harry they survived." He shook his head.
"Hermione, this book was written in the 20's. It was supposed to happen!" I shook my head and showed him several other cases.
"Each one of them changed something, and each one of them showed up somewhere else, but this," I pointed to a page in another book I had, it was a handwritten diary from the creator of the time turners, "this was hard to find."
"In it, he explains the workings of the turned himself, he went back in time to prevent his own death and wrote everything about his travels after that. Harry, he saved an entire clan once." He glared at me.
"Why!? Why are you doing this, there are so many things that could go wrong!" I stared at him.
"Harry, if I succeed in this, you could have your parents, I could make sire that the second war never even happens!" I stopped. "I could save Sirius."
"How are you going to do it? How? Tell me." I walked over to my desk and pulled out a folder.
"I did some digging and found this." I handed him the folder, he opened it and read it.
"Who is Juliette Potter?" He noticed the date, "She has the same birthday as my dad..."
I nodded, "She died that day too, they were originally twins, she was born without fully developed lungs and died in infant care."
Harry stared at me, "Hermione, what are you going to do?"
I smiled sadly, "I'm going to save her. They didn't have the proper spells to save her then, but I know them."
"How is that going to help you then?" I sighed and sat heavily on a chair.
"There's a spell I learned. It'll be tough to cast, but I'm sure I'll manage." Turning myself to face the roaring fire I continued, "It's classified as a dark spell, if only because if the effect on the castor, but it won't harm the baby at all." He stared at me.
"What will it do?"
"It transfers the memories of the castor into the subject, they won't be real... Memories, per say, mor like things that you just know. The girl will be somewhat of a seer, she'll get the information I have in my head and she'll be able to access it when it's useful. It's basically a mental guide." Harry nodded.
"And what will happen to you?" I smiled.
"I'll just...disappear. Then, in September of some time later, I'll be born again, but I'll have a much different life, I'm sure. More of a childhood." He started shaking his head.
"No, no, no, I won't let you. What about me, Ginny, everyone else?!" I smiled.
"I'm going wether you like it or not, Harry, you can't stop me." He began to protest, I pulled a golden chain up around my neck, "I've already cast the enchantments and everything. The spell and time turner will work to bring me back, I'll be gone in a day and you can't stop it. Please leave me be, I've got to get as much information stored as possible so that Juliette will be as prepared for her life as possible."
I laughed a bit, "you are going to have one very protective aunt, Mr. Potter."
With a wave of my wand, the boy who lived was flung from my room and locked out. I picked up a book on healing spells and how to carry them out. I was advanced in everything except healing and dark magic, though I wouldn't be going into the latter. I would focus on the things we needed to win the war the first time, and that would be all I'd need. At precisely 1:30, my alarm was set off and I stood, picking up a black envelope right as I felt the world spin around me.
