The night that changed her life
Slowly, Hermione Granger, the girl who knew, put on her hood and stepped out of 12, Grimmauld place and headed towards Diagon Alley. She knew she was only there for one reason, wolfsbane for Remus. But she carried a secret that only she knew. After The Battle Of Hogwarts and Voldemorts escape, she found her time turner in The Headmistress' office and ever since then, she carried it around her neck.
It was always a struggle to step out of the house for Hermione because death eaters would round muggle-borns up, but she needed to feel the cool air on her face after 2 months of staying in that bloody house. As she reached near the alley separating Knockturn Alley and Diagon Alley, she stepped in what appeared to be a hidden apothecary. Hermione would make the potion herself but that damn house did not have a potions lab and running for ingredients just seemed too dangerous and it would be easier to just buy. She pulled the hood even lower as she stepped near the reception.
"What do you want?" asked the receptionist, an old man named Charles.
"The usual. I trust you have it ready," replied Hermione.
"Oh, it's you! Make this quick girl. I don't need to be caught with you! 60 galleons!" said Charles
"60 galleons!? Have you gone mad? The normal would 30!" whisper-shouted Hermione
Charles could feel her temper rising but he wasn't going step down just yet.
"Do you realise how wanted you are right now? Be thankful I am not charging you 80 galleons. This one is on you girl, take it or leave!" he said.
" Fine fine. 60 galleons" she said
She paid and was just about to leave with her goods when the doorbell chimed and in stepped Bellatrix Lestrange. Hermione instantly began to panic but did her best to conceal it. Bellatrix walked right past Hermione. She was planning to get out as soon as possible but Bellatrix had other plans,
"Wait, who are you and what is your blood status?" Bellatrix asked.
Hermione just remained still, momentarily paralyzed.
"Did you not hear me? What is your name? And lower down your hood!" she ordered.
"Penelope Clearwater, Pure-blood." She cringed at the lie and she knew that Bellatrix saw right through it.
"Oh really? Lower down that hood. Now!" Bellatrix said. "Lower that hood now or you will be at end of my wand." Her temper was flaring. She was just about to point her wand when Hermione lowered down her hood. Bellatrix gasped.
"It's you! Mudblood! Enjoyed your time at The Malfoy Manor, did you? Think you ought to go there again." Bellatrix said excitedly. Before Hermione knew it, her wand was up too. And suddenly Bellatrix was charging towards her. It was a real muggle-style fight. Before she could fight back, She felt a tug and everything around her seemed to rewind, but only too fast. She knew what had happened, Bellatrix had transported her back in time! It was only a few hours of wait time until she will be in her time again as her 3rd-year time-turner only transported her back 8 hours to a maximum.
She walked out of the shop and asked a nearby lady the time, but before she could she noticed her surroundings, it was...different. It was not extremely gloomy and there seemed to be more colours around the shop than she remembered. Panicking she asked the next passing-by lady the date and time.
"31st August 1977," the lady said while giving Hermione the strangest look ever. Hermione felt her knees grow weak and her heart felt like it stopped. It was merely impossible! Her time turner can only go back to 8 hours to an extent, not 21 years! It felt like a dream but she knew it was real...
