Rebecca Altino was dreaming. Only, she couldn't explain it thoroughly, but it almost felt real. Her eyes widened as she watched dazzling swirls of color and the form of…was that Hermione Granger from the Harry Potter series?

All of a sudden she was filled with dread and desperation. A sadness like nothing she had ever experienced consumed her. Her body felt like it was ripping apart from the portal and before she knew it, she was in the portal…only she was hearing Hermione's thoughts.

Hermione was spiraling. Down, Down, & Down she went. Her life was seeping away, memories replaying over and over again. She could remember what the Order said to each other in times of battle.

'Everything's going to be okay.', they said. 'Just you wait, Mione. Today we bleed but tomorrow we'll smile and go about our lives in joy.'

It was suppose to go fine. They were winning. The Hocruxes were destroyed and the battles were more or less won and yet…

They lied.

And now, she was spiraling down a vortex of magic.

Her last resort. Not that she thought it would work.

She found a spell and using the blood of her friends and some of the enemies they had taken down, she was waiting to go…go, go, go…into the past. A new life, A new beginning, and a new chance.

But the spell or ritual as it was, was hardly sound. It was nothing but a child's tale even in the wizarding world. And yet…

The Three Hallows existed…So why not time travel without issuing a paradox? It may not be sound but it gave hope, and where ever there was hope, there was a chance, albeit small, but a chance she could change things.

She closed her eyes wishing for this chance. If it came down to it, she would sell her very soul to make things right. She would sacrifice anything and everything for those that she loved and died.

Slowly, the vortex of magic stopped spinning around her. It seemed to pulse before slowly seeping into her. And then, she knew nothing but pain.

"Rebecca Altino. You have gone through life enjoying nothing and wishing for another life. As you have seen, Hermione Granger wishes for another chance. Unfortunately, the higher powers will not allow her to go back. That does not mean her desire for changing the past cannot be done. The past will still change with your acceptance as taking her place."

"I don't understand. Harry Potter is real?"

"Yes, there are different realities all based with different higher beings. There is a reality which follows under Olympian Gods and is based on what your world has viewed as Percy Jackson. There is a reality which follows under the Creator and is based on what your world has viewed as Supernatural. And then there is your reality which is a bit different, it follows under no being but is simply a collective. A world which is based on beliefs. There are those in your world who create universes and ever higher beings brought forth from dreams which turn into belief. It is known as the collective as it where all realities stem from."

"But I don't understand. The Hermione I just saw was trying to change the past. I sensed that they didn't win but in the book series, there was a happy ending."

"The book series brought forth the reality of a magical universe…it brought forth that realm and the higher being Magic but once a higher being is brought forth, they have free reign over their reality. In this instance, Magic incorporated manipulation of time to change events. The existence of Time Turners brought heavy consequences.

Each time someone uses one, that world is split into two. One in which follows the correct stream and the other which allows for the change. Think of the different worlds having markers and each world is a simple dot on a infinite sheet of paper. The cannon universe is the center. All other worlds stem from the cannon and yet the dot forward and back of the cannon dot correlates to the future or past timeline of that world while the dots to the side or diagonal of the cannon dot correlate to a separate timeline in which a different event occurred.

The Hermione who you saw came from a diagonal dot of the cannon dot. Everything was the same except for the end. Harry choose to move on at King's Cross after he was hit with the Killing Curse. This minute difference in choice is why they lost the war."

"But how come you brought me? Why not Hermione?"

"Hermione can not go back because she will cause a paradox of that reality. The ritual she used would never had worked. Once her soul was brought back, the universe would become unstable. Her soul has it's own marker. Time turners allow for someone to go back as long as contact is not issued between the subject and it's past's subject. If the subject were to touch anything that is from another timeline, the universe would become unsettled with the knowledge of twin souls with different markers. The basis of that reality would crumble.

But your soul has no marker. It is one of the wonders of the collective reality. If you were to take Hermione's place, you could ultimately choose to live in that reality. Any contact with the subjects of the Harry Potter Universe brings forth no disturbance as the universe can not tell of your existence."

"Who are you? How do you know all of this?"

"Who am I? I am Magic."

And before she knew it, Rebecca felt like she was pushed back 100 feet in the air. As her eye's opened, she woke up to a bright blue ceiling in a kids room.

'You must tell no one of your knowledge. You can choose to intervene or not. I know you will choose what is right, Rebecca Altino. Good Luck.'
