Time Turners and Hippogriffs
AU Drabble Series. Yes, drabble. Hermione gets dusted with the Sands of Time and is sent back fifty-something years into the past. This is a TMRxHG fic.
Apologies to Hermione. I know you're shipped with everything with a pulse...

"Will you be wanting to visit and reclaim the vaults accredited to you by these three lines?" the goblin presiding over his test asked as his finger pointed out three family names in various places.
"Yes, please," Abraxus replied for the shell-shocked Tom. "And could you please set up a meeting with his mother's family? It would be preferable to have them meet in a guarded room here, at Gringotts." The goblin nodded. He made a copy of the family tree ("for the archives," he said) and then rolled up the original to give to Tom.

"You can put it in one of your vaults when we go to visit them." Tom nodded, and then turned to where Hermione was. He went to her when she beckoned him over.
"Apparently there's some type of magic in my blood that blocks this test from proceeding. Lokek says that there is a bloodline test that will take several years to prepare, however it will be able to not only override the magic but also call all living relatives to where we'll be," she said.
"Is it safe?"he asked her. She merely smiled up at him.
"Trust me, what's the worst that could happen?"

When the four of them finished touring all of the vaults that Tom had inherited and reclaimed, it was almost five in the afternoon. Tom moved a generous amount of gold from his newly acquired accounts into his savings account, and once everything was finished, the quartet migrated back to Diagon Alley. Amira and Abraxus were answering Hermione's questions as best as they could, the redhead warming up to the brunette a bit the more they talked. Tom stayed silent for the most part, but added in his input whenever he was directly asked a question.
He and Hermione held hands the entire way.

"Ice cream first, then browsing?" Abraxus offered. The rest readily agreed. They went next door to Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlour, grabbed their sundaes, and then started to window shop the shops of North Diagon Alley. As predicted, Hermione didn't want to leave Flourish and Blotts once she had discovered it, and only a bribe of her picking out a book to go with her made her finally leave her sanctuary. The group stopped at a few more places before eventually migrating toward South Diagon Alley, their destination: Olivia's.

The group of four stepped into the shop and was immediately greeted with a wall of boxes of wands a few feet from the door that hadn't been there the last time Tom had been in. Navigating around it, Tom held Hermione's hand as he led the way through the back of the shop.
"Garrick? Olivia?" Tom called out into the shop. It was silent for a few seconds, and then Olivia slunk out from a darkened aisle.
"Tom, hello!" she greeted pleasantly. Her eyes fell on Hermione. "Oh, you are so adorable!" the woman exclaimed.
Thanks to everyone who read! :)
And don't forget to leave a review! Any bit counts. And please, if you want to flame, at least do it properly and get me a link to whatever it is you claim I'm falsifying.
And remember: this is considered an alternate universe. So some things may not be as you remember. . . :)
If you haven't noticed already, I'm altering my updating schedule. I want to post the last chapter on a certain day of this year, so instead of my update schedule of every Thursday and every other Monday, I'm increasing it to every Thursday, Saturday, Monday. I'm on Spring Break this week, so hopefully I'll be able to churn out a lot of chapters to make my deadline. :3
