Prologue

Pain.

That was all she could think of. All she could feel as the purple flames licked at her flesh without causing physical burns.

Her head hurt. If she might have ever been put under the Cruciatus she might have something to compare this pain to.

Images flashed in her mind but she couldn't place anything and she realized with horror what the purple fire was meant to do.

Clear her mind. And a very good chance it was permanent. She felt herself backing up in fear until her eyes opened in shock thinking of everything other than her best friends as she looked upon the time turners in the cabinet.

She couldn't forget Harry and Ron. She absolutely refused.

Without thought of her own least she forget. Her hand reached forward and before the flames the man Dolohov she remembered her dark friend whisper stole her entire mind from her she shattered the fragile glass of the time turner in her hand letting the sands fall on her.

Everything passed in a blur around her. Harry and Ron shouting in vain as she disappeared before them and the two death eaters.

Perhaps she was a coward running away through time but she couldn't lose her mind. Anything else but that.

And with that thought she let the blackness consume her as she fell to her knees through the pathways of time. Landing in front of a very confused Harfang Longbottom III and an even more curious visiting friend Albus Dumbledore.
