AN: This is a replacement first chapter. As the last first chapter had been reminiscent of a time without book five or book six so it was a little out of date to say the least. I do not own the characters or the plot really, but I think it is a very cool idea to combine the two different genres of Jurassic Park and Harry Potter. I am using the dinosaur concept really but the storyline, well loose storyline from Jurassic Park, basically witches and wizards trying to escape dinosaurs and hopefully survive. Pleas Read and Review.

The first term of the seventh year was drawing to a close for Ginny Weasley and she was sat in the common room with her friend Carmel Lone playing chess. Ginny had felt that the sooner Christmas rolled around the better. Ginny had to admit it, she missed Harry, Ron and Hermione like the flower misses the sun in spring.

She and Harry had gotten together at the end of her sixth year and although their first summer together wasn't on average the most pleasant they had stuck together never the less. Harry felt that with the war finally over he could be your normal every day wizard as he now had no scar. Ron and Hermione lived together but denied any rumours of them being a couple.

Ginny deemed that life could not be more average especially compared to what life had been like when she had been dating Harry in his 'boy who lived stage'.

She had just finished a nasty potions coursework piece and had been forced to work with Samba Burns a particularly vindictive Slytherin who was intent on making Ginny's life hell. Harry had on more than one occasion suggested and offered his hexing services to Ginny but she had declined insisting she didn't detest Samba as much as that. Ginny had returned straight to the common room which was deserted as many of the Gryffindor girls had evacuated down to the Quidditch pitch to watch the Gryffindor team practice.

Ginny had had to decline any part in the practice due to the overwhelming amount of potions coursework. So instead was sat with her best friend Carmel who was concentrating hard on the game but was also quietly aware that Ginny was not paying any attention to the game whatsoever.

She had been down in the potions lab for about two hours and was now relaxing with Carmel playing a game of wizard chess which she was losing spectacularly.

'Are you actually concentrating on this game or not?' Carmel asked impatiently

'Yes,' Ginny replied instantaneously 'I'm just thinking,'

'About Harry,' Carmel guessed, then without warning she went off in a huge rant 'well I'm sorry Miss-I'm dating the most famous wizard am I obviously not good enough company for you any more?'

Ginny was taken a back by this sudden outburst and looked astonished at Carmel as she marched out of the common room leaving Ginny utterly bewildered. Carmel bumped into Collin Creevey as she passed through the portrait entrance and said

'If you're looking for Miss Fantabulous she is over there,'

Collin was pushed haughtily out of the way by a fuming Carmel and he quickly filled her vacant seat opposite Ginny.

'Whats up with her,' Collin asked curiously 'she not getting enough from her new boyfriend,'

'Collin,' Ginny grumbled disgustedly 'the last thing I want to think about is Carmel and Fabian thank you very much,' and Ginny shivered ceremoniously.

'Anyway, putting Fab and Car's none-existent sex life aside for a moment-'

'Eww,' Ginny shuddered Collin continued

'I found this in the library, it's a time turner of sorts I think-' Ginny looked at the strange object in Collins hands and was astounded for once that Collin was actually right about something other than the colour of Harry Potter's eyes.

'We should take it straight to McGonagall or Slughorn-'

'Why Slughorn,' Collin asked 'he wouldn't know about time turners-'

'No but do you really want to go to McGonagall and hand that in? She'd most likely close the school down if she knew that a peculiar object had gotten into a students hands, as I well remember,' Ginny added darkly.

'Its not peculiar though, it has some markings on but most of the time turners were destroyed weren't they a few years ago so this is like an antique,' Collin said, mesmerized by the small egg timer.

'Collin I'm not sure about it-'

'We could go on adventures, like the one Harry and Hermione had in their third year,' Collin said misty eyed, then coming back into reality he added 'lets try it at least see what happens, we could go to the room of requirement and see if there is any information about it-'

'Why not just go to the library,' Ginny suggested

'Too much hard work,' Collin said 'besides room of requirement gives us what we want doesn't it,'

Ginny felt uncomfortable with this situation and suggested something that she thought wouldl be a better idea than testing it out for themselves.

'Maybe I should get Harry to look at it,'

'Harry,' Collin said surprised 'I like him as much as you Gin but wont he be a bit busy and I don't think you two working on anything is a good idea,'

'Excuse me,' Ginny said perplexed 'what is that supposed to mean?'

'Well you won't exactly get any work done will you?'

Ginny looked astonished as Collin said this and quickened her pace along the third floor corridor to the room of requirement but as she turned a corner she bumped into someone she really anted to avoid.

'Watch it Weasley,' Samba Burns, the Slytherin seventh year who Ginny was forced to work with in potions, said grumpily, picking up his books and getting to his feet 'I don't want your germs on my robes-'

'Shut up you arrogant little-'Ginny began but Collin pulled her back

'What are you going to do Weasley, get your famous boyfriend to hurt me?' Samba spat angrily 'you wouldn't even be anything without Harry-'

'Really,' Ginny replied coolly 'well let's see shall we,'

'Not now,' Collin said desperately 'can't you two abate the arguments for more than a day,'

'Shut up Creevy, or you'll be next on the list-'

'Aww,' Ginny said mockingly as she whipped her wand out 'does little Samba now have to write down a list of all the people he knows because he keeps forgetting their names?'

'Screfix,' Samba yelled and knocked Ginny back and as Collin caught her the time turner fell to the floor and spun before it fell to the floor, a huge rumble followed and a flash of blinding white light filled the corridor. The next thing Samba, Collin and Ginny witnessed was certainly not any part of Hogwarts….

'I'm afraid it's happened again,' Minerva said sadly 'three of our seventh year students have disappeared yet again,'

Minerva McGonagall was sat behind the large oak desk which once had been home to Fawkes the Phoenix was now home to a beautiful grey owl snoozing lightly in her cage. No longer were there strange objects reminiscent of the days when it had belonged to Professor Dumbledore but now reflected the new headmistress, and the newest addition to the office was a handsome portrait of Professor Dumbledore who at present was sleeping.

'Do we know what happened?' Horace Slughorn asked

Professor Slughorn, now aging with flicks of grey in his hair and his portly stature depleted somewhat and his moustache not as long as in previous years but still in the shape of the trademark handlebars. He was stood next to Professor Veritas who taught Divination and had proven herself a most worthy seer in the war just over a year ago.

'Of course we don't Horace, otherwise we wouldn't be here now would we,' Angel Veritas said sharply

Horace stiffened slightly and Professor McGonagall continued

'Ginny Weasley, Collin Creevy and Samba Burns are missing, we found this in the corridor but I have no idea what it is-'

'It's a time turner,' Angel said

'I know that, Angel,' Minerva replied curtly 'but all the time turners were destroyed in the ministry over 3 years ago and time turners are certainly not permitted in Hogwarts unless an exceptional case like that of the once most infamous witch Miss Granger would you not agree Albus,' Minerva said without turning round to face the portrait of the previous headmaster who was jovially awake and smoking on along pipe happily with a packet of sherbet lemons in his right hand.

As Minerva turned to face the portrait she smiled as Albus continued to quietly muse to himself before he replied

'Miss Granger was an exceptional student and as for that time turner I would consult Harry Potter and Hermione Granger if I were you Minerva, they may have more luck but I am afraid I cannot help,'

'Typical,' Angel muttered, Albus pretended not to have heard her and continued

'I would contact them instantly Minerva, that time turner has been used, Miss Granger will know something about them-'

'Fabulous Hermione,' Angel interrupted 'we are adult witches and wizards why do we need a silly post graduate Hogwarts student to tell us how to decipher bloody symbols on a time turner,'

'You went to school with Miss Granger's older sister I forget,' Albus said with a smile and he shook his head 'Minerva send Athena on to the ministry to inform Harry, he will no doubt want to know that his girlfriend is missing,'
