Hermione walked along the lakes edge. This was her favorite place to be when she wasn't studying or helping Ron and Harry with their homework. She spotted a tree and went to sit under it. She sat there for a while just thinking. Thinking about how much she missed her parents and how sad she was.

She heard footsteps behind her and looked up to see Ginny standing there.

"C'mon

Mione the train leaves in an hour and I need your help to finish packing.

Hermione smiled at her friend weakly. "Ok I'll come in a second just go ahead."

She stood there for a moment longer and then followed the path her friend had taken a few minutes before. When she got to the entry hall she was greeted by the sight of professor Dumbledore. He walked up to her a smile on his face. "Hello Miss Granger, I've been looking for you." Clearly confused as to why she had acquired his attention, she followed him to his office. He said the password and they took a ride on the moving staircase up to the door. He opened the door and let her go through first. She went through and sat down in one of the squishy chairs in front of his desk. "Lemon Drop," he offered, sitting down at his desk.

"No thank you professor."

He set the tin down and took one himself. "Alright, you're probably wondering why I asked you here. She nodded. "I have here a list of possible classes for next year which you have filled out. It would seem that a few of your classes coincide with each other." She looked at the headmaster for a second and then asked, "Do

I have to drop classes?"

"No I just feel it might be easier if you had this." He reached down under his desk and pulled out a small box. He handed it over to her and she opened it. In the box sat a Time-Turner. She set it in her lap and looked up at him. "Thank you sir," she said. He smiled, blue eyes twinkling merrily.

"Remember though, time turners are a great responsibility, be careful."

"Now I think Miss Weasley still needs your help." Hermione stood up, fastened the time turner around her neck and left the box on his desk.

She walked up to Gryffindor tower, Time-Turner safely tucked into her shirt. She stood in front of the Fat Lady and told her the password. The portrait swung open and she stepped through. No one was in the common room, all packing or gone she decided. She walked over to the girls' dormitories and opened the fifth year door, In the middle of the mostly empty room stood Ginny Weasley, her trunk near her feet. Hermione sighed and tried to get Ginny's attention.

Ginny turned around and saw Hermione standing in the door way. Clapping her hands in happiness she went and pulled her older friend into the room. "Mione, what should I wear? She looked at the clothes Ginny held up and pointed to a set. "But, I like these so much better…," she rolled her eyes at Ginny and told her to hurry up.
