Before any of my devoted Harry+Ginny shippers get upset because of the
pairing, I would like to make a statement.
Although Snape and Hermione are insanely fun to write about, and to read about, the chances of them actually forming a relationship are probably worse than winning the lottery. Signs of Ron and Hermione hooking up can already be seen in the 4th book, thus Harry cannot go out with Hermione, and thus will probably go with Ginny. And I'm not kidding about the guilt mentioned in the first few chapters of "There's Something Different." You'd feel guilty too. But, to avoid seeming close-minded, I try to read fics with all pairings and will eventually try to WRITE at least one of all pairings, unless they are absolutely ridiculous.
So, please read my story anyway!
Prologue
After my graduation from Hogwarts, I became very depressed. Staggering under its weight, I found my way into the clutches of Voldemort. For years I worked as his henchman, until Dumbledore found me, and convinced me to become a spy. He alone remembered the good person I had been during my school years. When I was caught, Dumbledore vouched for my freedom, and thus, I was released, no questions asked. At that point, I realized the danger I had put myself in, and turned somewhat respectable. I got myself a job as Potions master at Hogwarts, replacing the teacher I had had myself all of my years there. For a long time, I was satisfied. Neither happy, nor unhappy. But 6 years ago, my satisfaction was shattered. My testiness only got worse on the day McGonagoll brought in those 1st years. I had been talking to that fool Quirrel, when I hear:
"Granger, Hermione."
I was shocked to say the least. This girl had the same name as the girl I'd been looking for, for year. But, I managed to convince myself that I had ACTUALLY been looking for her aunt, and she was coincidentally named after her. I mean, how could I have been looking for someone who hadn't even born yet? So, to compensate for what her aunt did to me, I was extra mean and cruel to her, her friends, and her house. But as the years passed, these students hit puberty. The resemblance was more noticeable every month. Uncanny genes, I told myself. But on the first day of her 7th year, Hermione disappeared. Dumbledore added to his usual yearly announcements.
"Many of you have already noticed that Miss Hermione Granger has been missing. When I remembered the date, I realized that I knew exactly when she was. Miss Granger was sucked through a particular time warp that only appears once every 100 years, and returns the person to their own time after approximately 9-10 months. Miss Granger is in good hands where she is right now, and will be back just in time for the graduation ceremony reception."
At that point, I resigned myself to the inevitable: the one I loved had just going back in time to be with a younger me.
I had never been so jealous of myself in my entire life.
