::::
It was a month after the final battle of Hogwarts, Hermione and Harry sat in the Weasley's kitchen with everyone, still mourning the loss of Fred and everyone who died in the battle. Everyone was sad, no one expected so many friends and family to die in the war. It was unfair and Hermione was heartbroken. She still couldn't find her parents in Australia to retrieve their memories of her. Hermione had no family and she lost many friends. Her world was still fallen and broken even though Voldemort had been defeated and the Wizarding world was safe once again.
The burrows was silent apart from Molly's muffled tears into Arthur's shoulder. George had left the burrows a few days after coming back from Hogwarts, he felt lonely and sad being at home so he decided to travel.
Hermione went to hers and Ginny's room after more moments of silence. She fell on her bed and cried, she wish she could turn back time and prevent everything from happening. She wanted Harry to have a family and she wanted Fred back. She wanted all those lost in war back and safe, how things were meant to be. Not like this.
After an hour of crying she drifted into sleep. In her dream she was placed in the great hall, this was where she felt most at home. She examined the Gryffindor table carefully looking at all the names that were carved in the tables. She saw her name along with Harry, Ron, Fred, George and Ginny. She felt a twist of pain in her stomach of sadness. Although this was a dream it felt very real to her.
"You can change things you know" she was startled by a familiar voice behind her. Two old wizards stood behind her, one being Dumbledore and Hermione didn't know the other wizard. "Dumbledore!" She hugged the old man and he chuckled. "Hermione, we have seen everything that happened in this war and we saw the outcome. With mine and Godric Gryffindor's magic we can help you change the future" Hermione couldn't say anything, the dream was feeling too real for her. "Under one condition of course" Godric spoke now. "Hermione looked at her house founder "what do you mean?" Dumbledore looked concerned but at the same time hopeful. "We can send you back in time, but you can't come back to the future. It's impossible to do so"
Hermione knew then her dream was real, she wanted to change the future so desperately she wanted everyone to be happy and she could do that. But what about everything she knew? It would be gone, she wouldn't have her best friends she would be alone... "Can I say bye to everyone?" Hermione asked. "I'm afraid not Hermione. We are so sorry. You don't have to do this" Dumbledore put his hand on Hermione's shoulder for comfort. "No. I need to do this. Now"
Dumbledore nodded and turned away with Godric. They waved their wands and conjured an unknown spell to Hermione. "mutatio praeteritum!" The great hall spun around her, she felt sick and dizzy. Then suddenly everything went black and there was silence.
Hermione was suddenly coming back into consciousness when she heard people talking. "Is she alright?! What the fuck guys!" Hermione recognised the voice, it was Harry. Hermione was disappointed her dream wasn't real. She sat up and opened her eyes to see four boys she didn't know knelt around her. Hermione's eyes widened, it wasn't Harry she heard but James, Harry's father...
"Come one let's take her to Pomfrey" one of the boys picked her up and carried her inside of the school. The school was intact and unharmed unlike the last time she saw the grounds.. Hermione looked up to see her carrier and let out a gasp as she saw a younger looking Sirius Black. "What is it? What's wrong?" Sirius looked down at her, he looked worried. "Nothing, nothing" she whispered back. They four boys walked in silence with the mystery girl in Sirius' arms. They arrived at the hospital wing and placed Hermione on one of the beds. "Peter go get Dumbledore and Remus go get Pomfrey" the two boys nodded and went and did why they were told. Hermione stared as she watched two men who she knew were to dead and one being a betrayer. She felt sick, what had she done? She regretted her dream and felt like crying. Sirius held her hand while she cried and James stood awkwardly not really knowing what to do. At that moment Dumbledore and Madame Pomfrey rushed into the Hospital wing to Hermione's bed. Sirius quickly let go of her hand suddenly embarrassed. Dumbledore spoke. "I hear you had a nasty fall from the sky I believe?" Hermione didn't know what to say, she was unsure how she got here. Madame Pomfrey propped up Hermione and have her a potion to calm her down and relax. "What is your name dear?" Dumbledore carried on. "Hermione Granger sir"
Dumbledore nodded. "I don't believe you're a student here are you?" Hermione didn't know how to answer because actually she was but in about 20 years' time. "Sir, may I talk to you in private.. Please" and with that everyone left the room.
Dumbledore sat next to Hermione's bed. "Professor Dumbledore I am from the future, you and Godric gryffindor came to me in a dream, said I was to change the future. I knew everything. I know how to defeat Voldemort, please let me help you sir"
