A Passage Through Time (REVISED)

Chapter one - Discovering the time passage

Hermione walked through the hall glancing at her watch. "I can't be late." Just as the clock hit 11:20 she skids into the classroom.

"Ms. Granger please take your seat." Thier returning DADA teacher, Remus Lupin, pointed to a seat in the front next to Ron Weasley.

"Hey Hermi. You were almost late could have be horrible." Ron joked getting a playful hit from Hermione. After the long and tiring speech about the killer blood sucking leaches in North Africa.

"Well, now we know that the killer leaches are the size of a small child." Ron joked.

"Yeah, it's very comforting." Hermione giggled as her and Ron made thier way to the Gryyfindor common room.

"Hey Harry, Ginny." They greeted thier two friends who were cuddled up next to the fire.

"Where were you in DADA Harry?" Ron asked taking a seat next to him.

"Quiddich emergency meeting."

"What happened?" All three asked confused.

"A first year, Devin Moore, was flying and he got caught up on the bloody quiddich post." They burst into laugher holding thier stomachs.

"Hey I got to get to my extra classes." She said her goodbyes and ran out the portrait. She stepped into the nearest empty classroom and untucked a shiny neckless from under her shirt. She turned the dial on her time turner but was taken aback when something lurched at her.

Hermione awoke in the hospital wing with a splitting headache.

"Don't get up dear." A lady called from a nearby bed. She waddled over to Hermione's bed.

"Where is Madam Phomphrey?" She asked with a hoarse voice.

"You must be delusional." She put a freezing cold cloth on her head and smiled. "I'm Madam Degrande."

" What exactly happened to me?"

"Well, we're not sure. All we know is that you were found in an empty classroom with this large black dog." She pointed to the dog that was sleeping in a ball next to Hermione's bed. 'Oh crap, Sirius' she sat straight up in her bed.

"How long have I been out?"

"We're not sure but it could have been hours or maybe even days."

"What's the date?"

"October 18, 1968." Hermione gasped realizing what had happened. She jumped up avoiding Madam Degrande's arms as she tried to stop her and dashed out the door.

After arriving at Dumbledore's office she explained the whole situation.

"I see. So you were getting ready to turn it as a big black shaggy dog (He motioned towards the dog) leaped at you causing you to turn the dial back too far and to lose you time turner?" He repeated what she had told him to make sure he heard her correctly.

"Yes sir."

"Well, I have good news and bad news."

"Give me the bad first."

"Well time turners cannot go forward as far as you need them to."

"And the good news?"

"Well, I have heard that local scientists have been working to change that and are almost finished with it."

"Well I guess that could be considered good, in a way."

"Now here's my advice for you. Do NOT tell anyone of the future for your own sake. Messing with the future alone could cost someone in the future their life." He emphasized every word and paused before going on. "Now I need to ask you some important questions. First of all has anyone seen or talked to you yet?"

"No, just Madam DeGrande."

"Now is there anything important like a desease or illness that you have?"

"No."

"What house were you in?"

"Gryyfindor."

"Ok then, do you have any supplies with you?"

"No, only my wand."

"Well then we'll need to send you down to Diagon Alley. I suppose I could have our Gryyfindor prefects take you, Lily Evans and James Potter, if they are not busy."

"Do you think it wise to change my name a bit?"

"Yes, that would be a very good idea." Dumbledore stood up and led her out the door. "I suppose you know where the Gryyfindor tower is. Go on up and ask for Lily Evans and James Potter." Hermione ventured through the halls until she was at the Gryyfindor Tower.

"Crap, he forgot to give me the password." She tried to plan a way to get in but was interrupted by The Fat Lady.

"Miss, do you happen to be Ms.Granger??"

"Yes."

"Headmaster Dumbledore ordered me to let you in." She swung open to reveal the Gryyfindor common room and the many people in it.

"Who here knows where James Potter and Lily Evans are?" She was ignored by the crowd except for a short red head.

"I am Lily Evans. James is at quiddich practice. Can I help you?" The girl asked sweetly.

"Yes, Dumbledore wanted you to come with me to Diagon Alley to get my supplies."

"Are you new here?" Lily eyed her up and down taking her in.

"Yes, um just came here from Durmstrang in Germany. I'm uh." She paused before going on. "uh I'm Willow Crolle." She said making up a name a fast as she could

"Welcome to Hogwarts Willow!!!" She excitedly took Hermione's arm and dragged her out of the common room.

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I'm revising one of my old stories since it's been years since I've written it I knew it would be easier than trying to write a new chapter. I haven't changed much just some grammar and added a few things. I cant believe how much better my writing is compared to most of the stories I wrote four years ago. Well I hope you like it, I'll be putting up chapters pretty quick since I'm not changing much so keep checking back.
