If you drew a time-line of Lily Potter's life it would look like a maze. But for the head of Temporal Investigations at the D.O.M. that's perfectly normal- What isn't is the strange man who appears impossibly in all of history.

Hermione overhears something she shouldn't concerning Professor Snape and decides that maybe the House-elves aren't the only ones in need of protection.
