RECAP: Harry, Ron, and Hermione are sent back to when James Potter was a student at Hogwarts. In an attempt to prevent Harry from warning his parents about the grim future that awaits them, Hermione grabs the time-turner away from Harry and prepares to turn it.
Chapter 3
Hermione twisted the time-turner as far it would go and everything started to spin. After a few seconds had passed, Harry looked up and he was in a house. He asked his friends, "Where are we? What is this place? For some reason, it looks familiar." As he looked up, he heard a loud voice yell, "Lily, come on. We have to get out of here. It's him."
"How did he find us?" said Lily.
"It must have been Peter. He is the only one who knew we were here." The worried voice continued, "Lily, get Harry out of here. Run, go!"
Hermione said, "Oh my God. Harry, these are your parents final words. We are in your house when you were a baby, the night your parents died. Voldemort is going to kill them any moment."
"I'm going to save them. I hate Voldemort. This is my second chance and I'm not going to let him wreck my family again," said Harry angrily.
"NO. The most important rule when using the time-turner is not changing the past. Many witches and wizards have killed their present lives by trying to change their past." By now, tears were streaming down Hermione's face.
Harry said, "What do you want me to do, just watch them die?"
Immediately, Harry, Ron, and Hermione covered their eyes when they saw a bright flash of green color. Harry remembered that this was Voldemort and heard Voldemort's thundering laugh.
"I have found you now. James Potter, you don't have you usual bunch of friends to save you this time," cackled Voldemort.
In an instant, Voldemort muttered some words and aimed his wand at the Potters. A gray spark shot off the end of the wand and was heading in James' direction.
Hermione cried out, "This is horrible. Harry, don't look."
Harry numbly murmured, "He tried to kill me too, but all he managed to do was place the lightening mark on my forehead and then he disappeared." Harry was shaking and felt as if he could not breathe. Unable to bear to witness his parents' death, Harry uttered a shrill cry and Ron kicked him in the leg.
Ron said, "What are you doing, do you want him to see us?"
Harry felt his eyes get blurry and the ground was shaking.
Hermione interrupted and yelled, "I can't stand this. I'm using the time-turner to get us out." She took out the device from her pocket and twisted it once again. Within seconds, the three students regained consciousness.
Ron exclaimed, "We're back! We're in Dumbledore's office."
Harry walked around dejectedly unable to block out the horrible events that had occurred minutes ago. He had witnessed the horrors of his parents' murder. He tried to divert his attention and think about his father and mother as students at Hogwarts. Harry smiled at the memory.
Ron said, "Harry, I'm sorry. Are you going to be okay? We can take you to the nurse's office."
Hermione said, "Ron, what is she going to do? This is more than just being sick."
Harry interrupted and said, "I think I'm going to talk to Dumbledore. He can help me understand what just happened." Harry parted from his friends and walked towards Dumbledore's office. He was confused and having mixed emotions. He was thankful for seeing his parents once again but was devastated by witnessing his parents' murder. Altogether, Harry was glad to have a second chance of seeing his mother and father, and that was a memory he would never forget.
