Chapter One: Meet Emma Granger
The final battle had just been won but at a huge price to both sides. Everyone she knew and loved was dead, all the Weasleys, Hermione, Neville, Colin, all the Gryffindor seventh years minus Lavender who were okay, two Ravenclaws were okay the rest were dead, three Hufflepuffs were still alive. Almost everyone who had been in the battle was dead, Professor McGonagall was okay so was Trelwney (claiming she predicted when to set lose the crystal balls on the Death Eaters, the women had grown on her after that) Kingsley was also okay and was taking place of Mister. Now she was sitting in what was Professor Dumbledores' office then Snapes office and now Professor McGonagalls. A hand on her shoulder made her jump, looking over her sholder and through her long black (untainable) hair that she had gotten from her dad. Emma Faith Potter saw the face of Minnie who seemed to have ages so much in the past year. Sirius had gotten Emma to start calling her Minnie and she hadn't liked it one bit. "Here Ms. Potter." Minnie handed her a crystal flask with a sparkling liquid inside, if you moved it you could see rainbows in it.
"Thanks Min- er Professor," Professor McGonagal (Minnie sang a voice that sounded like Sirius). Minnie had given her one of her looks that you know if you finished that sentance you would have a months worth of detention with her. "But whats in it?"
"Professor Dumbledore said that it may be something you would like to use after the war. He didn't tell me what it is just that it will help, if you want to of course." At this part Professor McGonagall looked a bit unsure. Emma nodded her head and Minnie handed her a letter and the crystal flask, she opened the cap and was about to drink it when an large cat /small tiger, they still weren't convinced it was a cat, hopped onto her lap, Crookshankes who she had gotten after Hermione was killed in the war, looked up at her and nodded his squished face up at her as if to say 'I'm ready now.' Without further ado she put the flask to her lips and swallowed. The next seconds were painfull, it felt like travling by floo, portkey, and being shrunk all at once.
Finally the spinning thing stopped but it left her feeling like she had been hit by a bluger, or four. Her hair, she asumed was all over the place considering the fact that some was now in her face, she looked up and was fairly positive the potion didn't work quite right and one killed her or two made her star hulucinating, because she saw the twinkling blue eyes of someone who has been dead for almost a year. "This is not good" Emma said, then squeeked when she realized her voice was to high. Albus Dumbledore chuckled at the young girl who had suddenly poped up in his office, she looked to be about Hogwarts age, her black hair was a mess, flying all over the place, and emarald eyes that sparkled but was filled with pain a girl so young shouldn't know. "Professor Dumbledore what's going on, where am I?" The girl was odviously scared but trying not to show it and doing a good job of it for only her eyes gave her away. She looked at him with her emrald eyes.
" You are at Hogwarts dear girl. If you don't mind would you give me your name?" He asked.
Emma knew something was wrong, the room wasn't filled with as many trinkets as she was used to, Dumbledore also had a few strands of aburn in his hair, that he hadn't had before. She wasn't surprised when he didn't know who she was, "Emma Potter Professor. If you don't mind me asking what year is it?" Emma saw him rasing a questioning eyebrow so she explained more, "Professor McGonagall gave me a potion to take and gave me a letter, then told me to drink it, then Crookshankes jumped on me... Where is Crookshankes?" Another pop and a ginger cat landed in an ungraceful heap much like the girl had, Emma saw him the said "Oh there he is, anyway then I popped up here." He looked at her probably debating if she was crazy and he nedded to call St. Mungo's. Dumbledore seemed to think about it then decided she wasn't crazy and said " Well my dear it is going to be the school year 1971 - 1972. School hasn't started yet. What year are you from?"
"1978" she answered promptly.
Professor Dumbledore got this knowing look in his eyes and asked for the letter, reading it quickly he reached into his desk and pulled out a crystal flask, the same one she had drank the potion from. The potion was in there, the raindows still visible, he asked, "Is this the potion Emm?."
"Yes sir it is."
"That's what I thought, this is a time potion, it has time sand in it." He saw her face and said "The magic drains out of the sand and into the potion then you strain the sand out." Emma smiled slightly in relief that she hadn't drank sand. "This potion is very valuable, it takes the drinker to a specific time were you will be able to fix the wrongs that have happend. This potion does one other thing, it sets you at an age, an age where you can set things right the easiest."
Emma nodded her head "That makes sense because most of the Death Eaters come from around this year." She saw the questioning look he was giving her about Death Eaters. "They're Voldemorts followers, a lot of them come from this time in Hogwarts."
Dumbledore nodded his head and said two things she had been expecting, one she was going to join the new first years with her parents, Sirius, Remus, and Snape. She didn't like the Snape, but she respected him. Dumbledore also said she was going to have to change her name because Potter wasn't a common name in the wizarding world even from muggleborns. Her mother would be coming so she couldn't use Evans. Weasley was a known wizard name and she didn't have red hair so she was going to use Hermiones last name. She said her new name so Professor Dumbledore could hear, "Emma Faith Granger, sir." He noded his head and wrote her name on the class list. They also decided that she was going to be a half-blood, both her parents were going to be muggleborn. So with that she left behind or forward Emma Faith Potter and in her place was Emma Faith Granger.
