Chapters are a bit short I am sorry. I do not have internet at home so I will update when I can. I will do my best from my phone. Please enjoy!
Hermione walked down the stairs towards the Great Hall. The sounds of the battle raged all around her. She looked around her as she reached the Great Hall. Bodies were scattered all over the floor. She walked the room looking for anybody that might need help. Halfway to the front of the room she spotted Sirius sitting on the floor with his head in his hands. Hermione watched as his body shook. Hermione walked over to Sirius and gasped and covered her mouth in shock. Next to Sirius's sobbing form was his best friend Remus and his wife Tonks.
Hermione dropped to her knees and Sirius grabbed a hold of her and they cried and held each other.
"Sirius, I think it is time. We are losing. I need to do this!" Hermione kissed Sirius's cheek and started to get up. Sirius grabbed her hand and stared up at her.
"Please, Hermione. Do not do this. I can't lose you too. It isn't a guarantee that it will work and you will come back."
Hermione looked awestruck. Even though they had been arguing about Hermione's plan to use her time turner to try and fix the mistakes they made, she couldn't believe he was fighting with her about it right now.
"Sirius, if I go I could save James, Lily, Remus and countless others! I could keep you out of Azkaban!" Hermione tried to pry her wrist from Sirius's grasp but he pulled her to him instead of letting go.
Sirius wrapped his hand around the back of Hermione's neck and lightly placed his lips on hers. Hermione threw her hands around Sirius and pulled him close.
"I love you Hermione. Please be safe." He wiped the tears from her face, "I will see you in the past."
"I love you too." she whispered and laid her head on his shoulder. "See you in your past. Take care of yourself while I am gone."
Hermione got up and started her journey to the Room of Requirement. The castle was very quiet. It seemed the battling had stopped at least for a bit. Hermione began to climb the last staircase when she ran into Professor Snape.
He quirked an eyebrow at her and turned to join her on the last stretch of her trip.
"I have been told to tell you that the fate of the wizarding world lays in your hands and that Dumbledore trusts you to do as needed, Ms Granger."
"Not going to try and stop me are they?" Hermione asked shocked by Severus's message.
"I believe they think it futile to stop you when you have your mind set in stone, Hermione." Severus said pulling them to a stop at the top of the stairs.
"Sir, I really need to get a move on before anymore die." Hermione whined.
"The only person left for you to care about is Sirius, Hermione. That is why I came with you. I watched Potter fall to Riddle's hand. I didn't want you to be alone."
Hermione gasped and a few fresh tears fell from her bloodshot eyes.
"All the more reason to try this plan then, Severus." Hermione turned towards her teacher and ran her fingers along his face. "I will see you in your past Severus. I am glad we became friends in this time. Maybe we can in the past as well."
Hermione walked down the corridor of the 7th floor and began to think of the room she wanted.
"I want to be safe to complete my task." she thought while pacing in front of the spot where her door should appear. She stopped pacing when an ornate wooden door appeared to her.
Hermione opened the door and found a small room. The floor and walls were padded but the ceiling showed the night sky, something that relaxed her. There was a small blue couch like the one she had at her parents' home.
Hermione walked over to the couch and sat down. She put her head in her hands and let a few more tears fall before she got out her time turner.
Hermione pulled the necklace out of her shirt and began to to turn it. She only wanted to go back a few days to fix some now seemingly vital mistakes they had made. As she began the 3rd turn she looked closer and saw that the turner was cracked.
"Shit!" she yelled as she was pulled into the time tunnel she created. As she was pulled and tugged around she thought about how far back she might end up. McGonagall had told her to never turn a broken time turner no matter what.
Suddenly the spinning and tugging stopped. She landed on a soft surface with a dull thud. Looking around she saw that she was in the same room she just left. She cautiously got up and went to the door. She opened it slightly and looked around. She didn't see a single thing, so she stepped out and started to look around.
Hermione rounded a corner to find the stairs and ran into a tall slender body.
"Watch where you are going?" the person yelled.
"I am so sorry," Hermione started looking up at the person she ran into, "Oh! Can you help me?"
Hermione looked into the younger face of Professor Snape and wiped a tear from her face.
"Who are you and where are you going?" he asked arching an eyebrow at her.
"I'm Hermione. I am looking for the Headmaster's office. I think I took a wrong turn."
"My name is Severus Snape. I will escort you to Professor Dumbledore's office."
