Chapter 1: Mission
A/n: I don't own Harry Potter
Hermione's POV
Hermione was walking up and down the corridors doing her rounds as a prefect when Collin, a small second year came barreling into her.
"Sorry Hermione, but Professor Dumbledore wanted to see you in his office." he panted. Collin stared up at her " It sounded kind of urgent. You'd should go and see him right away."
" Thanks Collin, you should get some rest in your dormitory, it's almost midnight" She said.
He nodded and rushed off again. I wonder why Dumbledore wants at this time of night? Crazy old man. Hermione wondered.
"Lemon Drops" she muttered to the magic eagle statue.
The statue jumped aside letting her pass into Dumbledore's large office. There were many trinkets and magical items that she had no idea what they were, or what they were used for. Hermione recognized the Foe Glass and saw the Pensive sitting in a corner, but suddenly was itching to go read some of the books in the Headmasters large bookcase. Now I understand why this room is for the Headmaster/Headmistress she thought. Hermione finally stopped looking at the odd things in Professor Dumbledore's office, and went up to his desk. Hermione found the Professor reading an article that looked suspiciously like a magazine full of knitting patterns.
"Um, excuse me professor Dumbledore, you wanted to see me?" she asked.
"Ah yes, Miss Granger. Can you guess why I sent for you at this time?" Dumbledore questioned. She shook her head no.
" Well, I just had a good idea, but you can only use it when you absolutely have to. You know that Lord Voldemort is rising, yes?"
"Yes Professor." Hermione shuddered of the very thought of him coming to the school.
"I thought that if the students was in danger from Voldemort, and that there was no hope of ever saving the school at all, that we could, go back in time."
"What do you mean? How would that work?" Hermione was full of questions.
" Since Voldemort is a key to saving the wizarding world I believed that if absolutely necessary you could go back in time. To change Tom Riddle and prevent him form becoming Voldemort and destroying peoples lives." He explained.
Hermione was quiet listening and trying to understand
"Why choose me though? Harry would be good for this, he is really brave." She questioned.
"Harry might become blinded by the hatred of his parents death and your other friend Ron has quiet the temper. Besides, you are the brightest witch of your age are you not?" he answered, eyes twinkling.
"Okay, I supposed I understand now."
"Good, so when it is time, will you do it?" the Headmaster asked.
Hermione though for awhile, weighing her options and listing the Pro's and Con's of the situation, and importance of the mission. After a while of thinking, she finally decided on her answer.
" Yes professor Dumbledore, I will do it" she replied with a fierce determination in her eyes.
