Before my death, I have been trying to design something that can enable a person to travel back in time. It is called the Time Capsule. Its functions are similar to that of a Time Turner. However, one turn brings you back a year and it can only be done on the full moon. I'm afraid I didn't have enough time to correct that litlle snag. " Dumbledore answered.
" Okay, fine then. When do I go?" Harry asked.

2nd chapter: Sapphires Of Time
" Since you have brought all your possessions here, why not now?" Dumbledore questioned.
" NOW? But what about Ginny and Hermione and Ron…" Harry trailed off, looking quizzically at Dumbledore for answers. He could not leave them now, they are currently recuperating in St Mungo's after being hit by various dark curses. And the only reason they would get hurt in the first place is because of him, so how could he leave them now?
" Harry, you heard what the Healers said, they will recover in a few days. I'm sure that they would like you to take this chance to escape for a while. I'm afraid we do not have much time left. Today is the full moon, if you do not seize this chance, you would have to wait for another month. Isn't this what you yearned for?" Dumbledore asked, placing a placating hand on Harry's shoulder.
Harry's stomach lurched. Today is the full moon, if Lupin hadn't died in the war, he would be transforming now. The price of winning the war is too much for Harry to bear. Lupin, Molly, Arthur, Fred, George, Neville, Percy… all casualties of the second war waged against Voldemort and his minions. Percy had seen the error of his ways during an attack in the Ministry. He died an honourable death, trying to protect the Wizarding World from harm. He had gone down fighting, taking down 10 Death Eaters with him and he died trying to shield Ginny.
Harry could still remember that day vividly in his mind…
Ginny was dueling with Lucius Malfoy, when suddenly Bellatrix Black appeared out of the blue. Bellatrix cast the killing curse on her and since Ginny was furiously fighting with Malfoy, she did not have enough time to dodge it. Her pupils dilated in shock, staring in the green light that streaked towards her, knowing that this would be her last moment in life. As the curse was about to reach her, somebody shoved her away and took the curse for her. It was Percy.
After fully comprehending what had just happened, Ginny collected herself and continued fighting more furiously than ever. Although Percy had made many mistakes, he had redeemed himself in the fight. He was forgiven, however, it was certainly regretful that they never had the chance to tell him that he is forgiven…
" Mum and Dad are also victims of the First War, Voldemort made sure that I have never seen him. If I agree to teaching DADA, I would have a chance to see them again. Ron, Hermione and Ginny wouldn't blame me, they would understand," Harry thought to himself. His heart soared when he realized that he could see his parents.
" Fine, I will do it, " Harry told Dumbledore, his heart set.
" You will need to turn the Time Capsule 20 times. Good Luck and have fun. I'll see you in a year then." Dumbledore said.
" Well, here goes nothing. 1…2…3" Harry mumbled to himself after turning the Time Capsule, waiting for something to happen.
Suddenly, everything went black. He was being pressed very hard from all directions, he could not breathe, he felt there were iron bands tightening around his chest, his eyeballs were being forced back into his head, his eardrums were being pushed deeper into his skull and then---
Harry gulped great lungfuls of cold night air and opened his streaming eyes. He felt as though he had just been forced into a very tight rubber tube. It was a few seconds before he realized that Dumbledore's office had vanished.
He was now standing beside the lake. A light, chilly breeze ruffled his hair as he looked out at the moon-lit lake and star strewn sky.
Hogwarts, finally, his home. Memories of his Hogwarts days rushed back to him…
Ron, Hermione and him going after Sirius in their 3rd year. Flash. The euphoria of winning his first quidditch match. Flash. A large white ferret bouncing on the floor. Flash. Tom Riddle's diary and the basilisk. Flash. His euphoria upon winning the Triwizard Tournament and happiness turing to terror when the Triwizard Cup tuned into a Portkey.
" Excuse me? Are you here to apply for the DADA position?" a stern voice called out.
Harry whirled around, startled.

A/N How is this chapter? I didn't really like it a lot to say the truth. The Percy part seems a little weird to me, but I don't know how to change it. Perhaps some suggestion? And also, I need help! Do you think I should put Ginny in? If so, how should she come into the story? Please answer by reviewing! Also, I cannot seem to put a separating line between A/N and the story, can someone teach me? THX!
Lastly! REVIEW! THX AGAIN!
All the best,
Belle Granger
