*Check the disclaimer in the previous chapter, and all the chapters before that*

(A/N: So, yeah, this chapter will mostly focus on what Hermione finds when she goes for further investigating.)

~Hermione~

Hermione started running and when she finally found her future self, she began following her future self and watched as she went down a lane with villas on either side.

Future Hermione stopped in front of one and pulled out the keys from her bag and fumbled with it until she found the right one and unlocked it.

She removed her coat and slung it, with a big sigh went into the kitchen, made herself some hot chocolate, and made herself comfortable on the sofa. She sipped her mug and immediately hissed in pain and spilled some of it on her clothes.

Hermione suppressed a laugh for being clumsy in the future.

Future Hermione changed out of her clothes and went into a room. Hermione quietly slipped in. Future Hermione put some silencing and locking charms. Then she cast a spell. Hermione had never heard of it and thought that maybe it is created in the future.

"Mostrare Quod Visitatore Praeteriti," she said waving her wand in 3 anticlockwise circles, then drew an eight and finally tapped her wand twice.

Future Hermione waited as she looked towards her. Hermione was still under the impression that she could not be seen. So, she just looked back at herself.

"Well, will you tell something?" Future Hermione asked impatiently as she drummed her fingers on the table and tapped her foot.

Hermione looked around. No one was there. So, who was she talking to? Hermione silently wondered.

"Look, you time traveled. I know. Now, please, start speaking, will you?" future Hermione said again.

Hermione faltered. How the hell did she know?

And so, she slowly asked, "Are you talking to me?"

"Yes, you. I can see you as well as hear you now that I have performed the spell. I created it. No one knows about it…yet," Future Hermione said.

Hermione's eyes widened in utter surprise and disbelief. Future Hermione chuckled softly at her reaction.

Hermione finally shook her head and dispelled the doubts in her head and asked, "So, first, how does this spell work? I mean, I had started working on it about 3 months ago. But I had no idea it would actually work! You changed the incantation too."

"Well, since I cast it on you, only I can see and hear you. You know that, right? Oh, of course, you do. I realized that some time travelers came into my time and were also eavesdropping on me and my friends," this made Hermione smiled sheepishly at her future self, "so, I knew once I was alone, which meant once I was at home, I would have to cast the spell and talk to you."

"Okay. So how did you know it was me who time-traveled from the past?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Well, for starters, because of this spell, I get to know if any time traveler has arrived through my spell which is literally on all the time. I don't know how to undo it yet. If the person is from the past my necklace here," she said pointing to a fragile necklace, "will start glowing blue. If the person is from the future it will glow red. When I wave my wand while it's glowing, I can find out how many people have time-traveled. I was quite astonished to see that six people came from the past. Even more astonished to find it was me and my friends when I got the names."

"Yeah, it was a potions accident. Long story," Hermione said looking slightly embarrassed.

Future Hermione looked at her amused.

"Never mind. It's not a big deal. I can get you back to your original time using another spell I created. Well, I tried it on myself before. I haven't tried it on anyone else you know."

Hermione nodded. "So, what's with the war you were talking about? And I had no idea Bellatrix created a Horcrux. Let's hope she made only one and not seven like Voldemort."

"Actually, she created about 15 Horcruxes. She used to make it on her missions Voldemort gave her. Worst of all, she always created it after killing the muggle parents of muggle-borns," future Hermione said paling her eyes beginning to go moist slightly.

Hermione gasped when she heard this. "15? That's obviously worse than Voldemort."

Future Hermione nodded. "It is. That's why I am going to give you the Horcruxes we already have. According to our spy in her ranks, she created all of these when she was already in Voldemort's ranks. All of them had been created way before she was put in Azkaban. Only Voldemort knew. No one else."
