4: Round and Round in circles Live a life of Solitude

11:35 P.M. Marshes outside the Burrow.

My duel with Bellatrix was fresh in my mind as I circled the outside perimeter of the marsh. It still amazes me how quickly the family was able to fix the place up after the attack seemingly left them homeless.

"Purple purple…."

The feet kept me going in the direction of that bright purple glow. Every so often I'd peek back at the noise behind me, the party that a mere 12 Hours ago seemed like a mere perfect night in the making.

"Where are you?"

Every plop in the frozen dampness of the marsh allowed me the respite of picturing exactly what I could find.

"A way to make amends, or fix this."

Ginny was heavy on the brain as I finally reached the bright spot a tree on the furthest point on the Weasley property. There it was the purple glow stuck in the tree.

"Pay dirt…"

My hand reached up for the branch and it took 4 tries but it dislodged.

"What the…"

The wooded object looked nearly oval in shape smooth and rough to boot, what gave it a uniqueness was an hourglass embedded in the center. Connected by two points each made of polished emerald. The flashback to Sirius and Buckbeak from third year was instant when I knew what was in my hand.

"A Time Turner…"

If this was the break my night needed just before the new millennium was to begin. This would be the one. As my mind flashed back to the only other time with Hermione when I was in this, hers and Dumbledore's words floated around in my head as a rule reminder.

"Must not be seen, cant pop in on my past self, and have to be back before its midnight."

As I was all set to ready myself it dawned on me it wouldn't be wise to pop into the past right in the view of the house as I remembered what we were doing earlier that afternoon.

"Hilltop…"

The flashback to Luna was immediate as I grabbed the makeshift time turner and apparated up there within 5 seconds. My view now showed the party with a mere 10 minutes to go until 2000 arrived. But once again my readiness got the better of itself as I found the very book Luna was reading by my feet.

"Luna, what's Neville going to do with you."

Newt on the Authors portrait was smiling as ever while my hand dusted the snow off that somehow the book never absorbed. Into my bag went the text and out came the device all the while my math was rattling off numbers I needed to remember if I were to do this right.

"Three turns that's all That I need to fix this…."

One takes me back to the moment, 2 to the party and 3 will be what I need to do this correctly.

"Hermione did say 5 was the limit."

Something crude like this must apply to the same diametric…. right?

My hand reached for the hourglass and with my wrist rotated the dial, once, twice, but as the third rotation neared out of nowhere time began to accelerate faster than it did that only other time five years earlier.

"What have you done Harry?"

My surroundings began to speed in reverse faster then I've seen Dudley or Uncle Vernon rewind a video tape. Stuff and days from the burrow, from yesterday, a week, 3 weeks, 2 months, last Christmas, Bill and Fleur's Wedding, Bellatrix, us going off with Amos and Cedric for the Quiditch world cup, years and then decades flashed by immediately before my eyes.

"Ok, you've done enough…"

As my hand reached downward to stop the turner, the purple resonance got onto my hands burring them instantly. The shock was instant and painful.

"Ahh…."

Without a doubt this was the worst pain since Voldemort was still affecting my scar As I threw the dial off, it smashed immediately onto a rock shattering the hourglass and releasing the purple sand residue. I don't know how or what happened next but the shock from the breaking knocked me out cold. Whatever I did and however far I just got flung back, I knew that this would be only the beginning for me.
