Hermione landed in an alleyway in Hogmead. After performing the Tempus spell she realized it was August 29, 1943 at 10:34pm. Snape and McGonagall were perfect in their magic to send her back. Hermione cleaned herself up and made her way to the Hogs Head.

Once she arrived she sat down at the bar. Aberforth came over and took her order. As the few patrons of the pub left it was just Hermione and Aberforth. He walked over to Hermione again and before he could ask her if she needed anything else she handed him the letter.

"What is this, girl." Aberforth asked recognizing his own handwriting on the envelope.

"Read it please." Hermione responded while finishing off her drink thinking to herself she should of gotten more whiskey before giving him the letter.

Aberforth read the letter that his future self had written.

Aberforth,

If you are reading this then things are bad. I am writing this from 1999. A Dark Lord has risen and there is nothing left. People are dying by the thousands both wizard and muggle. If it has gotten to the point that they have sent Hermione back to your time than it was as a last ditch effort to save the world. I am telling you to take this girl and treat her like a daughter, she has taken a potion and her DNA will match yours. Take her in tell the world she is yours. I know this girl and I know you will come to care for her like if she was your daughter. You will be the only person who know her truth. That she is the world's only chance of surviving. That is all I will tell you, what she has been though is her story to tell not mine. But i urge you to do the right thing and take her in. Aid her in her task, no matter the means.

Alberforth

"What is your name?" Aberforth asks setting down the letter

"Hermione Granger." She responded taking a deep breath eyeing the letter

"No, its Hermione Dumbledore; we will not discuss what it is that has caused you to come back here but you are here and I will do everything that I can to aid you in your task." Aberforth said refilling her cup

"Thank you." she said leaning back in her seat

"You can go ahead and finish up here while i close up and we will go upstair. I will show you where you can stay and I will go to Hogwarts tomorrow do you have records for school?" he asked as he cleaned up behind the bar

"In my bag." She responded downing the whiskey. The war had given Hermione a taste for the golden liquid.

"Okay. I will go to the school tomorrow. If you don't mind tending the bar while i am gone. We normally aren't busy during the summer afternoons but I don't want to close shop." He said continuing to clean up.

"That is perfectly fine. Thank you for everything." Hermione said

"Thank you Hermione." he said just loud enough to hear as he made his way around the bar cleaning up.

Thank you for reading please Review!
