A/V: Hey fanfic readers, how are all you guys? This is a new story – as you can probably tell, that is replacing my old and extremely bad Tom Riddle and Hermione story.

Oh, and by the way, even thought Dumbledore is supposed to be dead because stupid Snape murdered him, I am going to keep him alive. In my story Snape supposedly tried to murder Dumbledore but it did not work so he ran away. I hope that is OK with you readers!

Read, Comment, and Review I love to hear from you guys!

See Ya!

Seventh Year

6:12 PM

"Hermione, wait up!" shrieked Ginny in an unusual un-Ginny type voice.

"Okay, Okay!" chuckled Hermione, waiting for the redheaded sixth year to catch up with her.

It was the beginning of The Trio's seventh year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and Hermione had just gotten of the Train with prefect Ron Weasley. The two prefects were still prefects until Dumbledore took away the privilege and announced Head Boy and Head Girl.

Hermione and Ron Weasley glanced behind themselves to notice Harry and Ginny, the new couple race up to Harry's two best friends. Ginny squealed and ran towards Hermione, her red hair everywhere, and her black Hogwarts robes flowing with the wind. Although Ginny was a year younger than Hermione, the two girls got along great – Ginny was the female best friend Hermione never had.

Harry looked the same – tossed dark hair, dark worried eyes, and those miserable glasses! Hermione was surprised that they were not broken – but than again maybe Harry had learnt the trick.

Hermione knew that Harry had not arrived at the Hogwarts Express – he had stayed behind and guided the weak Dumbledore into the war. Now, himself and Dumbledore were always seen together – usually on business.

Ron was also the same, long fiery red hair, piecing eyes, and his own bloody stupidness. He had changed only a bit over the summer – was it possible that he seemed taller?

Yet Hermione knew that she had changed too. Her bird's nest hair had softened to waves, and her eyes had lost their touch since her parents had been killed by one of the Death Eaters, Bellatrix.

Hermione gave Harry and Ron a big smile. Yes, so much had happened, but at least she had her friends. Together, the trio plus Ginny headed towards the Great Hall.

8:02 PM

"And that is the End of the Sorting!" Dumbledore's voice rumbled through the Great Hall, above the cheers.

"Now, before our fabulous meal, I will announce Head Boy and Head Girl."

"Bloody Hell," whispered Ron. "I am starving!"

"Shut up!"

Dumbledore listed through a list of names of Head Boys and Girls for Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin. Hermione paid little attention, she wondered if all her Prefect work and scholar work had paid off.

"Gryffindor's Head Boy will be –"Dumbledore paused "Seamus Finnagun!"

The Gryffindor table roared with screams and clapping – Seamus jumped up in his chair, than sat down cleverly.

"Thank you, thank you – may we move on?" Dumbledore questioned. The tables fell silent. Hermione could have swore she heard a pin drop – was this possible?

"The new Head Girl for Gryffindor will be," Say it now before I die! "Hermione Granger!"

Hermione stared in shock at the old man, and felt overwhelmed. Everybody was cheering, even Ron.

"Now, On with the food! Head Boys and Girls, meat me tomorrow at 4:PM – but Hermione Granger –" Hermione seriously stopped breathing "I will see you tonight at ten."

And than, the feast really began.

"Bloody hell Hermione, cheer up!" muttered Ron through gulps of pumpkin juice.

"Yes – yes, I'm sorry," replied Hermione absently, accidentally dropping a small quanity of pumpkin juice onto her robes. She sighed. This day was very unexpected.

9:51 PM

"Ron, I gotta go! It's my first meeting with Dumbledore!" urged Hermione, ripping her robe from Ron's hand.

"But I need help Mione!" pleaded Ron.

"Ron, you are an ass," whispered Hermione before putting a one-minute freezing hex on Ron. Instantly, she hurried out the common room door and to Dumbledore's office.

As she reached Dumbledore's office, McGonagall swirled past Hermione, whispering, "Dumbledore loves chocolate frogs."

Instantly, Hermione realized that that was Dumbledore's password – she had not even thought about it. Hermione slapped herself, now was not the time to be stupid – she was the freaking Head Girl!

Hermione reached the gargoyle and whispered chocolate frogs. Like an instant reaction, the doors swung open and Hermione found herself climbing up a spiral staircase.

Finally, Hermione reached the top of the staircase, and found herself standing in a huge room, complete with desks (plural) chairs, loads of book shelves and beautiful furnishings. Hermione had not even realized she was gaping until Dumbledore quietly whispered, "Yes, It is quite a nice room, is it not?"

Hermione shook her head, but instantly realized it was a mistake "Oh, yes the room is absolutely – delightful I was shaking my head at my foolishness and…"

"Oh yes, Oh yes, don't worry Hermione, I am not stupid!"

"Yes, I know. I mean sorry…" Hermione was tongue-tied.

"No worries Hermione, no worries!" replied Dumbledore, shaking his head jokingly. Hermione felt relief plunge over herself.

"You are most probably wondering why I have called you and not the other Heads. Well, do you remember your Third Year?" Dumbledore questioned and stated.

"Of course." Answered Hermione. How could she forget Lupin and Sirius and Buckbeak and…the timeturner.

"So than I presume that you remember the time turner?"

"Of course!"

"Well Hermione, I would like to give you one again – except a newer one."

"Oh…I understand now. You want me to be able to go back into the past if anything really bad happens, I mean really bad…"

"You can go back and fix it."

Hermione understood now, with the Dark War soon coming.

"But-why me?" questioned Hermione.

"Because you are the only one who knows the workings of it and I trust you."

Hermione shivered at the last three words. She stood up to leave, when Dumbledore called out to her.

"Oh, and Hermione? Be careful. There might be some problems hear and there. It has not been fully tested."

"Uhhhum." Hermione nodded and headed back down the stairs towards the common room.
