Chapter One- Amis
Hermione usually enjoyed mornings, normally up with the sun so she could admire it as she got ready for the day, making sure she got warm water in the shower. Even though the pipes were heated magically it was still a muggle trend that she was hard pressed to get rid off. This morning however was not a happy one. Groaning in protest as the usually friendly sun tried to get under her eyelids she tried to roll over to get away from it but discovered that on her other side Lavenders full length mirror was just reflecting it back into her eyes
Sighing she pulled the covers off to see that the rest of her dorm were all in various similar states of grumpy morning-itus as she remembered Ron calling it once. Apparently all the brothers in his family suffered from it, making normal breakfasts when guests weren't around a very tired grouchy affair aside from his parents and youngest sister Ginny. Stumbling out of bed and up to slip her feet into her slippers Hermione wondered idly why she was so tired before the cold metal of the time turner touched her chest from her standing movement as though reminding her at just the right moment. Silently admitting defeat to the issue, after all she did sign up for it she bit back a yawn and hurried into the bathroom to grab a quick shower before getting her books ready for both Care of Magical creatures and Arithmancy which she had first.
Having not the usual time to get ready in Hermione arrived down late for breakfast. Careful not to hit any younger students who with her bag as they also made there way down for a late breakfast she slid into the great hall and sat herself down next to her two best friends her bag inadvertently whacking the table causing it to wobble a good few metres in each direction.
"Crikey Mione'!" exclaimed Ron who luckily remembered to swallow first before speaking, "Careful"
"Sorry" she apologised meekly to most of the Gryffindor table who luckily had reacted fast enough so nothing had been spilt, looking down at her bag she managed to stuff it under her part of the bench before turning back to Harry and Ron,
"We waited for you in the common room" Explained Harry, "But gusto's stomach here got the better of him" he added indicating Ron with his thumb who was too busy tucking into some beans on toast to notice his other friend's conversation.
"Its alright" Hermione replied before grabbing some breakfast for herself, not feeling that hungry however she just grabbed a few slices of toast from the rack,
"Post owls been?" she inquired after a few moments of silence between them, the great hall itself still buzzing with activity.
Harry shook his head in no before swallowing his mouthful of bacon, "Not long left now for them to come as it's quite late so I would imagine they would be down..." Harry paused midsentence as he heard the fluttering of wings as owls began flying into the great hall, "Any minute" he finished with a grin before turning away from Hermione to look for the tell-tale white of his snowy owl, Hedwig.
Turning back to her own breakfast she was momentarily startled when an tawny owl landed in front of her blinking in surprise she then remembered that it was bringing her the Prophet, blaming her slight memory loss on her lack of sleep recently she dived into her robes pocket pulled out the money necessary and placing it in the owls pouch it dropped the paper with a soft hoot before flying off again.
Sighing and taking a bite of toast, Hermione released the paper from its string bound before unrolling it catching the interest of both Ron and Harry who both made a face seeing who yet again had made the front cover,
"Sirius Black again" Commented Hermione before turning the page over from his moving angry picture onto a more lighter article on the latest broom model, deciding that the gods were with her on that article she handed the paper too Harry before the front-page could upset him again about the guy who had helped kill his parents, causing him to exclaim and show the article to Ron which sparked a fast paced conversation between the two. Whereas the constant quiddich talk used to annoy Hermione she found she could now easily tune it out and concentrate fully on her rather neglected breakfast and when the gong sounded for 10 minutes too lesson she decided that she was hungrier than she was earlier so grabbed some extra slices before standing up to head down to magical creatures. Her movement sparked the movement of her two friends who once she had finished extracting her bag from under the table were ready to go.
The talk of quiddich continued but Hermione didn't mind as the cool autumn breeze from outside greeted her in the entrance hall waking her up a bit more. Continuing to munch on her slice of toast she began thinking about the best time after lesson to use the time turner hidden under her robes to get to Arithmancy. Deciding that slipping away to the girls bathroom once back inside would probably be the best plan as the grounds were so open and someone might see her vanish. She would tell the boys to continue on to potions without her she decided mentally before turning back to there ramblings about the Firebolt.
It soon drifted of into other conversation and Hermione was able to join in as they approached the rest of the class milling around already outside Hagrid's cabin, all three pointedly walked to the spot the furthest from the Slytherin's, namely Malfoy as possible after how previous lessons had gone it was always good to stay far away.
When Hagrid turned up everyone in the class suppressed a groan (or at least the Gryffindor's) at the sight of the crates of flobberworms,
"Ye remember ye pairs, split into them again and take a crate", Hagrid spoke gruffly waving in indication in the direction of the crates before wondering over to sit on a tree stump that served as his teacher's chair.
Shooting the other two looks Hermione saw the others deep in conversation again, rolling her eyes she got up to retrieve their flobberworm and a clump of lettuce. The rest of the lesson went smoothly by with random conversations and lettuce shredding, before packing the flobberworms back into the pile of crates and Hagrid's hasty dismissal of them. Hermione watched with concern but Harry and Ron where already off up the gardens towards the castle so with a big heave she managed to grab her bag firmly and run up the short bank to catch up with them. Engaging them in a quick conversation about the potions homework before the topic was sharply led onto another topic.
Potions followed much the same route, well routine as usual for Hermione. Stop Neville from blowing up cauldron while avoiding Snape's penetrating looks.
Hermione awoke with a start as her dream ended the sudden action causing a miniature landslide as all the books that she had placed around herself as a kind of fortress slid to the floor with resounding thunk. Shaking her head in disorientation she looked about at the empty common room before looking down at her watch in confusion where the little ticking hands showed that she was now 15 minutes late for Ancient Runes.
Gasping in shock she hurriedly began gathering her books into her bag where they had fallen all around the armchair, silently cursing the overly warm and comfy spot by the fire that she decided mentally to never sit in again after lunch she double checked she had everything before running for the portrait hole narrowly missing two seventh years who were entering who both shouted something after her but Hermione was too busy mapping out the fastest route in her head too ancient runes to notice, deciding that the fastest was down the moving staircases first she took a sharp left nearly knocking out a smaller first year Gryffindor with her bag as it swung out. Under normal circumstances she would have stopped and apologised before asking him why on earth he was out of class but these were desperate times so Hermione through a quick and loud sorry over her shoulder before continuing her fast pace down the corridor almost at the staircases Hermione slowed her pace in case the staircases decided to move before she got there not quite trusting the charm that was in place to stop students from falling from dangerous heights. Slowing to an almost slight jog she stepped onto the staircase and then began down them as fast as she could manage, her energy now running quite low and her breathe coming out in short gasps, ordinarily Hermione was quite fit to run short distances but with her heavy laden schoolbag it certainly made things difficult.
Reaching the bottom of the staircase Hermione counted two more to travel down before the worst happened, taking an almost right angle bend to the next downward staircase her bag swung out and got caught on the outer railings for the stairs. Jamming into the gap Hermione was yanked backwards before the strap on her - supposedly magic reinforced- bag snapped sending Hermione travelling down the staircase like there was a ski-lift. With nothing to grab onto as the railings on either side where too far for her arms to reach she was thrown further forward, instinctively before hitting the first steps that her trajectory would take her on Hermione curled up into a small ball the action sent her time turner on its longish chain to come free of her school shirt. Before Hermione could do anything about it however she hit the first few stone steps sending her arms and legs everywhere the time turner hit the step below sending it spinning out of control, Hermione tried to reach for it though the pain that now gripped her body but it was too late the world began to spin and change around her, beginning to see ghosts of previous hours past she tried to reach out to stop it but as the time turner hit the next step it shattered and Hermione's world went black.
The next thing Hermione felt was the feel of a vial of potion at her lips as her eyelids half opened catching her quick view of the Hogwarts infirmary ceiling. Recognised only because of her waking up from her petrified state last year, she moved to get up out of reflex but a soothing voice next to her told her to rest and pushed her back down onto the bed where Hermione felt the familiar signs of the Dreamless Sleep potion taking effect. She tried to protest but soon she succumbed to the lull o f sleep.
It was early morning when the dreamless sleep was finally out of her system and she woke.
Its actually quite complex to figure out Hermione's time turner travels for the early part of the chapter; I had to refer to the third book for some help on that- Time travel has always baffled me :) – Also since I tried to stay close to book canon for this section my battered copy came in extra handy.
And just to add – don't know if anyone else has ever written a Harry Potter fan-fiction and is reading this, but damn spell check hates the words doesn't it? – so many red squiggly lines!
Anyway hope you enjoyed the second chapter- The doctor is up next so don't despair!
In the previous chapter i mentioned i had been sitting on the chapter since January? That was of 2010 so i hope that helps put into your head how much planning has been put into this story.
(P.S the Quotes at the top will mostly always relate to the chapter itself)
