Summary: Dumbledore's plan is to have Hermione use the Time-Turner, to go back in time, and to save Draco, and even possibly Tom Marvolo Riddle from Darkness and prejudices against the Muggles. She will discover astonishing things about these two while in the past. Set between the 6th and the final book, rewrite of the 6th and 7th books, with my own ideas and interpretations of them.

Hermione was doing her homework one afternoon, when she was summoned by the Headmaster. What did Dumbledore want from her? She silently wondered as she was on her way to see him. What could possibly be so urgent that he had to bother her while she was writing papers? And what could be more important than her school assignments? While she was mad at Dumbledore for this, she still went up to his office. After a while of walking, she was finally at his office's doorstep, Dumbledore had already opened the doors for her and greeted her warmly:
"Ahhh, so nice to see you, Miss Granger."
"Hello, Headmaster, may I know what's it about? Why did you call me up?" She was in fact, intrigued by that.
"Well, Miss Granger, I have a special mission for you. I don't know if you'll choose to accept or to refuse it, but I have a plan for our side, the Light. If you decide to accept my idea, however there might be greater chances for us to win and to prevent the war. "
"Yes, I'm all ears, what is your plan, Headmaster? But I just want to know, why me, why not Harry or Ron?"
"First, I chose you because you're the one I need for the mission, not Harry or Ron. By the way, you shouldn't tell either of them."
"And, what do you have in mind, Professor Dumbledore?"
"I'd like for you to use the Time-Turner, and to save Draco Malfoy and Tom Marvolo Riddle from darkness. And you will help them overcome their prejudices against Muggle-Borns and Muggles. And this is all for greater good, you understand, Miss Granger and this is why I chose you for this. I'm sure you will succeed where I failed."
"But, Headmaster, even we as wizards and witches, can't tamper with time and people's pasts?" She protested.
"Don't worry about that. No other soul will know besides us." reassured the Headmaster.
"I accept, Professor, but if I fail this, will there be any back up plans for us?" She was thinking about what ifs already in her head.
"Yes, but I am sure you will succeed."
And so, as planned with Professor Dumbledore, Hermione used the Time-Turner, to go back in Draco Malfoy's childhood, to try and see what caused him to hate the Muggle-Borns and Muggles so much, and to maybe prevent him from being a Death-Eater, like his father.
Back 10 years in the past, she found herself in Muggle London and in a random Muggle coffee shop, she ordered herself a Cappucino and sat down at a table. While she sipped her drink, she spotted the Malfoys: Lucius, Narcissa and their little boy, Draco, aged 5 or 6 right across her table. What in Merlin's beard where they doing there, in Muggle London, of all places? She thirsted to know.
Now she was watching them with curiosity, but discreetly, it was a disconsolating sight to behold: Draco Malfoy was barely able to drink and eat not using magic.
