"No." Hermione screamed as she watch her friends died around her. Grabbing her wand from the ground she turn to the one who fired the killing curse and saw that it was none other then Bellatrix.
"Oh what now, your all alone, girl. Should I be merciful and end you pain." Bellatrix laughed was cut shot when Hermione used her wand and knocked her down.
"Avada Kedavra!" Hermione screamed at Bellatrix, who was surprise, fell down dead. Hermione realizing what she did, drop down to knees and heaved. When she heard a noise behind her, she ran into what was left of Hogwarts. Running till she couldn't run no more, looking around she realized she was in front of the Headmasters office. As if she was in a trance she walked up the steps and into room. All the painting had vanish from sight expect one, Albus Dumbledore.
"Hello my dear." Albus smile sadly at her. Knowing what she has done by the look in her eyes.
"Professor, I don't think we're going to make it." Hermione tried not to cry.
"Yes, I had fear that will come this. Miss Granger, may I ask you something." Albus looked down at the young woman who has come so far ahead of her time.
"Yes. You can ask me anything, sir." Hermione looked quizzed at her old teacher.
"How far are you willing to go to save us all?" Ablus ask her. Thing of the quiz, she pondered.
"Well sir, I guess I'll do anything to save everyone from him." Hermione looked determined. Knowing Ablus had a way to help us all.
"Hermione, I want you to think about this, there is a way, it was plan b, that I never though t I would ever used. But given the current state of things, I see no other choice." Albus sigh.
"Professor, what exactly is plan b." Hermione ask nervously.
"Well, you if you were to this and you will disappear from everyone you know." Ablus looked down at the girl.
"Your talking about time travel, aren't you, sir." Hermione inquired him.
"Why yes. And you know all about that, don't you. But you see, were you to do this, you'll go back 20 years into the past." Albus informed her, waiting to see her reaction.
"20 years but they only just began learning about time travel then, and the when Harry's parents, Sirius, and Remus are still alive." Hermione sat there shocked.
"Yes, that is true. But if you were to go all you would have to do is watch them. " Albus look tired even in a painting.
"Then what, sir. I don't think I can watch until the day where he kills them, and what about Sirius, he gets in trouble at the same, and I cant be at two places at once, even with a time turner." Hermione got up and started to pace the room. Ablus watched her put the pieces together. Then she suddenly stop and turn to face him.
"You want me to stop it before that don't you?" Hermione but never got answer as they both froze. Outsize the door, which was magic locked. They could hear people. Hermione, wide-eyed back into the corner under nether Dumbledore, as she heard Death Eaters.
"Give us the password and we'll just kill you faster." an angry voice yelled.
"Please, I don't know, Dumbledore usually went for candy name, but the last person in there was Snape, and I cant even begin to think what he would have chosen." Hermione recognize the voice as Professor McGonagall's. covering her mouth, so not to scream, Hermione shut her eyes, as she heard the Death Eater's cursing her.
Hermione stood up shaky, turn to Dumbledore, as silence surround them.
"Tell me how." Hermione was trembling. She was scared, but she couldn't stand letting her friends and family get hurt anymore. Dumbledore, gravy looked at the young girl, he could tell she was terrified, but willing to be strong.
"You see on my desk, there's a key drawn on the desk. Put your hand over it and say 'Come forth, the time has come' "Dumbledore watch as she went to his desk.
Hermione swept everything off the desk in one moment. There she saw in gold paint a picture of a key, which looked a lot like a phoenix. Putting hand her over the key she said the words, given to her. And to her amazement the key started to glow and to her. When she lift up her hand the key was there.
"Good, now come here and open me up, there's a box, take it put it on the desk." Albus told her and she did. Soon, Hermione open the box and saw that it was filled with everything Dumbledore cared for. Letters from home, notes to himself, and at the bottom candy, along with two bottle's with colorful liquids.
"Okay grabbed both bottle's, now girl listen carefully, the orange one, will send you back to time but you have to the date in your mind, okay. Now the date I want you to remember is, August 16, 1986. Now the purple keep with you at all times, because if your in trouble just take a sip, and think of a place, you want to go. And please, don't let anyone know of these potions." Ablus informed her.
"Sir, what potions is this?" Hermione ask, wondering if she'll need to make more. As if reading her thoughts.
"Don't worry, if it should empty, there will be a piece of paper with the instructions, and its is a language only you will be able to read." He smiled at her.
"Professor, do I need anything?" Hermione ask, but dreaded leaving this room. As if noticing her fears.
"No, when you drink the potion, you'll land right here in time. And I will be here. Okay, don't not fear. Remember Aug. 16, 1986." Hermione nodded, and stood in the middle of the room, drinking the orange bottle thought of the date only. Hermione's body started to tingle, as she watch time fly by here, she began to get dizzy. Then everything stop. And she fell to the floor, clutching her head.
"Excused me, young lady. But how did you get here." Looking up, Hermione stared at the same blue eyes, that she learn to care for. Sliming for the first time in days.
"Dumbledore! Your alive, I did it." Jumping up, she hugged him. Albus confused by the girl action patted her on the gently.
"Please Miss, will you sit down and tell me how it is you came to be here?" Dumbledore ask as she pulled away.
"Yes of course, oh wait before can you tell me what day it is." Hermione ask sitting on one of the chairs.
"Why, its Aug 16, 1986." Dumbledore took in her appearance. Her clothes were dirty, ripped, and bloody. She also had cuts on her, and her hair was a mess too. But she looked happy. Albus Dumbledore, listen to the girl story, and was shock that the future had gotten as bad as it has. He was even more surprise that a young girl like could live though this.
"Well now that some story, Miss Granger." He told her, still in shock but trying to figure out what to do with this young woman.
"Of Professor, you believe me, don't you." Hermione plead that he does. And at her, he smile.
"Yes I do. So what would you like to do here." Dumbledore ask.
"Well since I have to watch James, Remus, Sirius, Lily, and Peter. I believe it would be easier if I was in class with them, don't you agree." Hermione told him.
"I think that's a great idea. But I must inform you that classes don't start yet, you still have two weeks to get settled in." Albus told her. They talked all night about what she can do. Finally as day broke, Hermione fell asleep, knowing she was safe.
