hello, hope you liked the last chapter, and now this one.
This story is based on the book series Harry Potter writen by J.K. Rowling
Enjoy :)
Hermione Finally making it to Dumbledore's office while dodging a few stray death eaters looking for hidden students most likely.
I take a relieved breath and climb the staircase since the statue out front seems to be missing. 'Better make sure nobody is in there'. I wait a good few minutes with my ear to the door and so far there are no sounds, good.
Opening the door nothing is noticibly different from the last time i saw it, admittedly that was a long time ago and since then professor snape has moved in, he didn't change anything though, hm. Somthing to think about.
Remembering that harry was in here recently made my chest heavy. But that also reminded me of Dumbledore's pensieve, that would be useful and he certainly doesn't need it anymore.
And i need to watch those memories harry already saw from snape, and maybe some from Dumbledore, that would be useful too, maybe to watch him and tom riddle's first meeting.
Taking two trunks out of my bag, one for the pensieve and memories, the other for books and anything else i need.
Looking at the shelves i see a wide variety of subjects, i take everything on arthimency, potions, charms, and transfiguration. There aren't any for dark arts or defence, doesn't matter i already have plenty. There are even a few ancient runes, I'll most likely need those.
Looking through the desk, i find several leather bound journals, some have what i recognize as Dumbledore's hand writing but others are unfamiliar, looking through to find a name i notice one in the back.
Nicolas Flamel...
The friend Dumbledore talked about... the Philosopher's Stone... the famous Nicolas Flamel...
These journals will no doubt be very useful to me, even more so then Dumbledore's which seem to be talking about time turners, yep definitely keeping these.
Planning to read through those when i can, plans already forming for what i will use the information for. And if i'm not mistaken there was an ingredient list in one of them. Those potion books will come in handy, and I'll need to stop by snape's potion ingredients cubard.
After putting the pensieve and all the memories away in the other trunk, I take one more look around the room and when i don't see anything of immediate interest i turn to leave, but as i turn somthing catches my eye.
Right underneath the stand fawks used to sit on i see two of fawks' phoenix feathers. If i remember correctly those could be used for wand cores, in fact both harry and tom riddle had phoenix feathers, hm i wonder if tom will get the same wand as before.
After taking the two feathers i finally head out towards snape's potion ingredients to get everything i need.
Once i get there i grab the ingredients for blood replenishing potion, pepper up potion, dreamless sleep potion, ageing potion, and elixir of life potion that i saw in one of the journals. There also seem to be two potions next to the ingredients, the drought of living death, and felix felicies. I take those too.
My last stop is McGonagall's office for a few books and then im out of here and to the ministry.
I get under my invisibility cloak and get going to McGonagall's office. I'm about to turn a corner when i hear voices, before while walking i would see death eaters but this is the first time i have heard them talking to eachother.
I glance around the corner and i see lucius malfoy talking to draco malfoy, ok more like yelling at him, this is the most angry i have ever seen him, considering he is always composed.
"What do you think you were trying to do! Sideing with potter!" Lucius yelled and scoffed at the same time, that certainly takes talent, "you could have been killed! Im the only reason you are even alive and not killed by the dark lord".
And while lucius is pissed, draco is what i would say pissed off and disgusted, either because of his dad or somthing else is unclear. "Oh so you care all of a sudden? Gee father that sure warms my heart" he said with heavy sarcasm, "wouldn't want your only son and heir of the malfoy line to suddenly drop dead now would we?".
"Keep this up draco and i won't be able to protect you anymore" lucius said unconcerned about draco's response.
If anything this made draco's temper even worse "you have done enough already!"
Apparently lucius had enough of this conversation and proceeded to spin around and stalk off down the corridor towards my direction, this caused me to try and mesh with the wall untill he was out of sight, i turn back and draco is still there.
I probably shouldn't but i did just hear that whole conversation, so i said "looks like you are in a tough situation malfoy."
And his shocked reaction is priceless, he jumps in the air and then starts frantically looking around and saying "what the fuck?", definitely worth giving myself away.
And while i'm laughing i pull the invisibility cloak away so he sees me infront of him, causeing him to jump again and causeing me to laugh some more.
"Haha very funny now what are you doing here? And why are you talking to me?" Confusion covering his voice.
"I don't know, guess i figuerd i should say goodbye to someone and even if it is you, you're the last one left to say goodbye to"
Looking at me like i'm growing extra heads all over my body, "it sounds like you're doing a suicide mission, not that i expect anything else from you granger".
"Yes well hopefully if my plan works i have a chance to fix all of this, untill then take care of yourself malfoy" i say as i start putting my invisibility cloak back on.
"Alright granger, try not to die too soon then" he reaches back to get somthing out of his pocket that looked like a card, "its for the department of mysteries, and i won't be needing it, good luck" with an unreadable look on his face.
"Goodbye draco" and i walk down the corridor towards McGonagall's office again. That card will be very useful indeed.
Finally making it into McGonagall's office, i immediately start searching for her transfiguration books, specifically animagus transformations since im probably going to need it eventually with all the running and hiding im doing recently.
After finding some helpful books i notice some that aren't transfiguration books, they are snape's potion books, those will go along nicely with my other ones. And flipping through it proved me right, he wrote his wolf's bain potion in this book, they were probably put in here for safe keeping while hogwarts was filled with death eaters, i don't want to think about what greyback could do with a potion like this.
After i finish in the office it's time to leave for the ministry as my next stop before finishing up at my parents house.
Stepping out of the floo i'm finally inside the ministry and before anyone notices i put my invisibility cloak back on.
Now to put that department of mysteries card to good use and stoping by the personal records to forge some documents for my new identity and some forged adoption papers for when i pick up tom.
Making my way to the department of mysteries im reminded of our break in during 5th year, ahh it was hard and stressful back then too but not at this level, never at this level.
Shakeing my head i continue on my way, thats enough of that for now.
Finally making it to the time room i use my card and walk in, how draco's card was able to get in i will never know, somtimes i think death eaters are the dumbest people in history, or maybe i think that all the time i loose track.
Walking inside i start searching for a time turner that can go far enough back for my plan to work, and after walking around i find somthing promising, its a time turner similar in designing to my old one except its as big as a cantilope and it doesn't have a necklace chain attached, it has a handcuff looking thing, i inspect the turning dial and find that it goes back years and decades, the limit in decades isn't clear but it is probably more than enough for me.
Picking it up and putting it in my bag i move on out of the room to get my paper work.
Finding a worker at a desk in my desired section is pretty easy, using a cunfundus charm to send her on a lunch break was even easier.
I get ahold of the forms they use to transfer in foreign witches and wizards, hopefully they didn't change how the forms look in the last 60 or so years, probably not the wizarding world barely changes their style of clothes, paper work is probably the same too.
I start filling out my paperwork.
Your full: hermione avis featherwood

Half-blood
Father: wendell Wilkins
Muggle-born

Newts: -blank-
That should do it, I'll just have to fill in the blank spaces later on, now onto adoption papers. They pretty much consist of the same questions with the addition of toms information and reasons for wanting him, that sort of stuff.
Finishing up, i get up just in time to see the worker i sent away get back from her break, now all i have to do is get everything else from my parent's house, since i sent them away to Australia it should only have my stuff in the house, it's a good thing i already withdrew my money from the muggle bank and gringots so i don't have to do that too. And so off to my last stop before i am officially starting my (in the words of draco) suicide mission.
Finally after packing all my clothes that are in the house along with all the supplies i didn't take with me on the horcrux hunt, such as my extra cauldron that i will need, some extra vials, firstaid supplies, canned and dry food, bedding, shoes, and some hygene essentials i had run out of already.
I then set up my cauldron and pull out the potions book with the ageing potion instructions to begin making it. This takes me about six hours to finish and when i do its almost already the next morning.
I pour out the correct dosage of potion to age me from my age of 18 to 24 to match the age on my forged documents. Seeing as even though i have the papers, if i was 18 they probably wouldn't have given me custody of any child let alone tom riddle.
After the ageing process is complete and i have dressed in a white button down shirt and long black pants, as not to look too strange, and head out of the house to a secluded spot for time travel like the alleyway near by the house.
Looking around at the surrounding buildings i note the ones new looking, old ones, and ones that seem dilapidated, i wonder what they will look like in 1935, the year tom riddle turns 9, I'll get there before that so i can prepare for adopting him by the time he turns 9 if not alittle bit before, maybe even before Christmas, who knows.
And with that i twist the dial on my large time turner to 1935 and i was gone, just like that.
