Hermione's point of view

She couldn't believe what she was reading. The minister had just owled her, telling her that the time turner had disappeared. She had been the only one on this project for a while now and since the protective spells made it clear that Ronald Weasley had stolen it Kingsley had felt like he should give her a heads up. She knew that the only reason she got this heads up was so that she could fix it, and fix it fast, because something like this would not look good in the papers. Right now she was very glad for that, because she knew exactly where Ron would have gone. And he needed to be stopped. She didn't hesitated a second and apparated right into her friends living room. Very impolite, but this was an emergency.

"Is he here?" she asked Ginny, but seeing her face was answer enough.

"RONALD BILLIUS WEASLEY, HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND! ! ?" she yelled as she turned around, facing her husband. She saw the time turner lying on the ground. Harry sat on the cough, the only piece of furniture that didn't seemed to be damaged much. He was completely white, just staring at the time turner. Both Ginny and Ron were staring at him. "Hi Harry."

"Don't Hermione. I know what you're about to say and I really don't need to hear it right now," he replied.

She was surprised at how much like the old Harry he sounded. She hadn't spoken to Harry in weeks, maybe even months. She hadn't been able to see him hurting himself like this anymore, so she had stayed away. Ginny had owled her once, about six weeks ago, telling her that it went a little bit better every day, but she hadn't actually believed it.

"But Harry.."

"No Hermione! Just don't. For ones just don't tell me what to do," Harry snapped at her, without taking his eyes off the time turner.

Ginny looked less scared now, probably happy Harry hadn't went in shock. Hermione couldn't understand it. How could he even think about traveling that far back in time? If he would change anything, maybe Voldemort would never have been defeated, or even worst, maybe Harry would cease to exists. She turned back to Ron.

"You-"

"Wait, don't get mad! Let me explain." Ron cut her off.

"What is there to explain? You deliberately did someth-"

"I didn't!"

"Yes you did! And stop cutting me off!"

"2 seconds? I just need 2 seconds!" He pleaded. Fine, she would listen to his stupid reason.

"2 seconds," she agreed.

"," Ron said in one breath.

"What?" she asked, trying to figure out what he just said.

"I brought it here to let Harry destroy it, letting the past be in the past, moving on with his life," he said again, slower this time. "It's the only thing that could actually save Lily, so if it's destroyed, it's over. Right?"

She didn't want to admit it, but this might not be the worst idea he ever had.

"No!" It hadn't been Harry to disagree, but Ginny. "No, now that it's here, I think we should make sure Lily is okay. Not saving her, but just making sure that she knows everything will be alright."

To everybody's surprises it was Harry who spoke up.

"Ginny, we can't. I really wish we could, I want to see her so bad, but it could alter the future, we all know it." He was still completely white and even started shaking a little, he looked like he could faint any minute.

Hermione couldn't believe Harry just said that. Maybe he had been listening to her after all. When she saw the tears in his eyes she wanted to hug him.

"Don't!" Harry said before she could even move. "Don't even think about comforting me right now, you don't get to do that! You're the one who's getting her way."

"No, she is not!" Ginny had started pacing. "She is not. Not this time. Harry, you'll have to let me do this."

Hermione couldn't believe anybody could think about doing this, but sending Harry? That would just be too dangerous! At least Ron brought it her for the right reasons, although he probably broke hundreds of laws to do it.

"Ginn-"

"Hermione, stop talking." To her surprise it was Ron saying this, she'd almost forgot he was there. "She doesn't want to send Harry to see his parents, she wants to go herself. It should be safe, as long as they don't see her."

"But if she can only see them, she wouldn't be able to tell Harry anything he doesn't know already. She really can't talk to them, that's too dangerous!" Hermione saw hundreds of thinks that could go wrong. Where her friends really that stupid?

"Wait, I'll be right back." Ginny left the room and ran upstairs.
