The Plan

Hermione Granger was walking, slowly yet determinedly towards the headmistress' office, she was confused, and had no possible idea why Professor McGonagall could possibly want to see her, and only her. As she walked, she thought back over the last two months events...

The funerals that would stick out in her memory forever. Mrs. Weasley's face as they lowered the mound of dirt onto Fred's grave. Harry's determination to take on everyones grief, without grieving for himself. Percy's failed attempts to keep George from locking himself away.

The month following the battle that would turn out to be one of the hardest months of her life. Ron's inability to talk to her. Ginny's blind anger towards everyone, especially Harry. Her own, lonely search for her parents. The struggle for them to understand why she did what she did, and for them to want to move back to England. The icy welcome she received from Ron when she returned.

The weeks after that would stand forever as weeks of healing, weeks of love. When Ron finally opened up to her and started feeling again. The happiness on Mr and Mrs. Weasley's face when George finally emerged from his room for longer then a meal. The moment when Ginny forgave Harry. The moment Percy forgave himself. The moment her parents forgave her. The moment Ron kissed her, just because.

And just yesterday, when the owl arrived at the burrow, requesting her presence with the headmistress, alone.

What could it be for? Hermione asked herself. What could McGonagall possibly want with me, and not Harry, not Ron?

She was still deep in thought, noting that they had already told as much as they could, as much as they wanted to the professor, that they had already signed up to help restore the castle in a few weeks time, and that they had already accepted in her case, and not accepted in Ron and Harry's case to come back for their seventh year. And suddenly she was outside the same stone gargoyle as so many times before,

"Victory" She said, and watched as the statue leapt aside to reveal the all to familiar staircase.

When she reached the door she knocked,

"Come in, Come in." replied McGonagall.

"Hello Professor." Hermione said as she entered and sat down.

"I assume you have many questions Ms. Granger, questions I am quite ready, and looking forward to answer"

"Well, yes. I was wondering what you could possibly want from me, just me?"

"Ah, yes. Breaking apart the, what is it they're calling you now, the golden trio? does seem unusual I know. But this is something only you can help me with."

"Help you? Im sorry professor, I don't understand.'

"Well, I shall explain. I was just getting settled, and came across a book, a book that Albus had been writing in for sometime. This book explains that if we could work out how, we could retrieve a select group of people from the past and pull them into the future." At this Hermione let out a rather audible gasp. "Yes, it seems quite shocking I know. But I've done it. I've worked out how to get them here, the problem you see, is what to do with them. As I assume you've guessed, Albus' goal was to change the future, the past to us."

"But professor! That's, that's illegal."

"Oh, dear girl, I know. But, to use albus' phrase, it would be for "the greater good". I ask you, would things not be better if Lily and James Potter hadn't died that Halloween, if we knew about the horcuxes years sooner, if we could save all the innocent that died in the final battle?"

"Well, of - of course they would. But, doesn't everything happen for a reason?"

"Yes, I believe it does. So, don't you think there is a reason I found this book, and a reason I worked out how to bring the past to the future?"

"Um." Hermione was looking at her professor dumb founded, what if she could change things. But, oh, a horrible thought had just struck Hermione, what if they changed it all so much that her and Ron never became friends, or her and Harry, or, Oh my goodness she thought, what if everything changed and they were all different people?

"Um." She repeated

"Well Ms. Granger I can see the wheels turning, so let me continue. If we were to go ahead and do this, nothing would change in this time until we sent the past back where it belongs, at which point, should they decide to change things, I would cast a very complex spell to send us ALL back to the point where they begin the changes. That is to say, I would be erasing certain peoples existence's all together, and just years for others. Should the past decide to leave things as they are, you would wipe their memories and send them on their way." Hermione was still just staring, she had no idea what to say, do, or even think really.

"It would be wonderful professor, to save people from Voldemort, but, aren't we risking just a little too much?"

"I don't know. I feel we should leave that up to Albus of the past. He is the one who began this idea after all."

"Right. Well, I suppose that's ok. I wonder though, how are we going to tell them everything? I don't think I remember it all that well, its been a long seven years."

"Right you are, however albus had that little problem solved already. He created a potion, that if drunk will turn one persons memories into books, creating a perfect account of everything that has happened. It was a little play on the same spell that allows us to remove our memories."

"But Professor, Dumbledore is gone, how can we give him the potion if he's gone?"

"I don't think he meant the potion for himself, I think he meant it for someone much more involved in everything, and somehow connected to almost every innocent life lost."

"Harry.." Hermione whispered.

"Yes Ms. Granger, I feel Mr. Potters memories would be the perfect account to hand down. And I feel you would be the perfect person to hand them down, as you were with him from the begining."

"Oh, OH! Professor, you want ME to talk to the people from the past? Wouldn't Harry be better for this? Or - or, well. I don't know, you?!"

"Forgive me Ms. Granger, but do you truly think Harry is up for anything these days? As far as I knew he was busying himself by looking after teddy as often as possible, and many other thing so as to avoid his own grief, his own pain."

"Well, yes, he is being quite silly, but this would keep him busy, wouldn't it?"

"Not in the way he seeks, after all, would you want him to re-live it all again?"

"Right, no. I wouldn't. But, what makes me such a good candidate?"

"Your smart, strong, and craving some way to help. Are you not?"

"How did you..." Hermione trailed off, It seems, she thought to herself, that being a hogwarts headmaster gave one a gift for reading your students, well.

"That is by the by now, are you interested in helping me, or not?"

"I, well. I, How am I going to get the books from Harry?"

"Slip him the potion, the books will arrive her in my office. And don't look at me like that, its better he knows nothing at all."

"Right, okay. How are you planning to pull these people from the past? And who are you planning on getting?"

"As for getting them, I've been working with Neville Longbottom for the last few weeks, in the room of requirement, tweaking it a bit here and there, and we've got it down so that we can call people from the past to that room. They cannot leave the room while they are here, and only one person from the here and now can be in there with them. As for who, I would like your input on that one."

"M - mine?"

"Why, yes of course. Now, I have some names, but I feel you should let me know if they are right, and who im missing."

"Alright, can I know when we are taking them, as I would like to base my decision on their ages."

"Of course. I feel December 1977 will be the best time to take them from, as it is then that Mr. Potter has finally matured enough that Ms. Evans doesn't detest him so much."

"Makes sense, alright, obviously your planing to bring forth Harry's parents, Professor Dumbledore, yourself I assume, who else?"

"The rest of the marauders, Arthur and Molly, and Frank and Alice Longbottom."

"I agree, although I don't think it wise to bring pettigrew, as he might be a death eater already, and voldemort can break memory charms, even powerful ones."

"Alright, that sounds good. Anyone you'd like to add?"

"Severus Snape and Regulus Black."

"Excuse me? Aren't they both death eaters?"

"Professor, we've been over this, Snape was innocent, on our side, a good guy. And Regulus plays an important role, I promise."

"Well, ill trust your judgement. Is that everyone?"

"Yes, though I have a question. What happens to the past as we take them? I mean to say, The weasley's already have three children, who will look after them? What about their jobs?"

"Ah, Im so glad you asked. Because we are taking them out of the past, nothing will be happening, because it is the here and now, and in the here and now, those people no longer exist as they do in the past. That's the beauty of taking them from the past, instead of going to the past, which believe me is much easier to accomplish."

"Right." Hermione said, her head spinning.

"The only difference will be that you will have to give excuse for your absence."

"Well that's easy, I can tell my parents im staying at the burrow, and the weasley's im staying at my parents. As long as I can still get owl's in there everything will be fine."

"Excellent! Now all that needs to be done is the books. So please, head back to the burrow for supper, get me those books, and ill see you here tomorrow morning at nine."

At that, Hermione got up and left, walking back to the school gates, thinking of all the good she was hopefully about to accomplish.

Thanks for reading, please review :)
