Ok, thing are going to freak within this chapter... I was actually going to end the story after a few more chapters, but I wanted to change times a little more... and then I wanted a certain interaction which will appear in later chapters.
I AM CHANGING BACK TO PAST TIME! I realized how much simpler it was, so I changed it back... I also changed the story appearance a bit, but you probably won't notice...
*I rewrote this chapter, because I had it turning out all wrong... please read again, if you have read it before.*
I would like to get in touch with my reviewers; answer their questions and such, so if you have any doubts or just like my story, :(=) please review... It is highly appreciated, as it really helps my ego. :)
Amy Potter = Hey. :) Thanks; and uhhhh...
yeah. Right. Ok, I really didn't get that... But yeah, basically
everyone has a crush on everyone in this fic... very disturbing,
eh?
hermioneharry4ever = I know, I was only joking. :) But
seriosly, what if it would be like a job??? I mean; there are
book and movie reviewers, what could possibly be wrong with
fanfiction reviewers...? *LoL* And about the basement... That's
my mistake, I meant the dungeon. But I think every castle needs a
basement, so let's just leave it at that. :)
Jacks = I WILL!!! MWAHAHA yourself!!! And you're totally
right, Hermione should really take up Malfoy-slapping as a new
hobby...
E. C. R. Potter = Uh, yeah, major confusion... I have two
points of views because I need the younger Hermione later, and
she is turning out to be just as important as the older Hermione...
MAJOR kick-ass-confusion! Hey, I have been wondering about what
ECR stands for... are those like your initials or something?
Ara = I LOVE YOU TOO!!! THANK YOU!!! I WILL!!!
Fleur = Thank you, I'm really glad to hear that. :) Thank you
very much.
Thanks to you all for reviewing... It is highly appreciated, and I love you for it. Thank you!

Chapter 8 = When Are We?
--------------------------------------
"Tell me you're kidding... You cannot have lost the hourglass, you understand?! How are we supposed to ever get back???" I asked the red haired boy, in a low voice, in case anyone should hear me.
"Well, personally I'm more interested in knowing which time we are in now," Ron replied. "I know we are at Hogwarts, but when?"
'That is a good question', I thought to myself. I looked around only to find myself standing in the Entrance Hall. Right behind us was the door that led into the Great Hall. We seemed to be the only ones around, which was lucky, as I wouldn't know what to say if I would meet myself again, this time even younger...
"We need to find Dumbledore," that was the first thing that crossed my mind. Ron nodded so much that his flaming red hair blew down in his eyes. We started to move towards the secret passage leading to the Headmaster's office, when Ron suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. He looked at me and said, "Hermione... what if Dumbledore is not the Headmaster? What if we got, like, hundreds of years back in time...?" he looked at me with fear in his eyes. I answered him in the best way I could. "Ron, if Dumbledore isn't the Headmaster, it won't make any difference. If we have gone more than five years back in time, Dumbledore won't know whom we are. But I don't think there is another Headmaster. You couldn't have spun the hourglass that many times..." I said the last part in great disbelief. He could easily have spun it around at least forty times...
But I decided not to think about that. Instead I guided him up towards the passage. With every corner we turned I expected to see Snape or Filch, but no one was there. I told Ron everything about why I had turned back time in the first place, and he looked at me, as his jaw dropped more and more as I spoke. It took him a while, after I finished talking, to connect the dots in his brain, so to speak. He finally said, "Wow... So Harry is dead, huh? I thought you said that one could never change the past..." "I know, but that was before I fell in love with Harry. But you are right. I don't know how much the future has changed, but I know it has." I told him. He looked a little upset. "What? So, you are risking everyone's lives just to save one? Don't get me wrong; I like Harry, but seriously Hermione... I thought you were smarter," he told me. He was just about to say some more when we heard footsteps approaching.
"I swear; I heard someone professor!" said a voice. Was that...?
"Hagrid, I am sure it was nothing. You are worrying too much," said a voice. I could have screamed in excitement. That voice belonged to no other than professor Dumbledore. I had to stop Ron from opening the closet door when Hagrid started speaking again: "I just don't want him to get hurt. God knows; that boy is always looking for trouble." "I know Hagrid," said Dumbledore. "Which is very healthy when you are in that stage of life. Just leave Potter and his friends alone."
I could have screamed again. Apparently we had not gone more than five years back. Dumbledore was talking about Harry, Ron and myself! I could not stop Ron this time, and he jumped out right in front of Dumbledore and Hagrid, who both looked at him wide-eyed. When did Hagrid shave his beard off?
"Professor, I'm so glad to see you! You are probably wondering why we look so old, but I promise that Hermione will explain everything! We heard you were talking about Harry, and that's good because we also have to talk about him, see; he's in trouble..." Ron finally stopped for air. Dumbledore still looked at him. Then he said. "Do I know you?"
Ron looked at him disbelieving, as did I. Did Dumbledore just have a memory loss or something? "I- I'm Ron Weasley, sir. Of Gryffindor. I'm a friend of Harry Potter, him you were talking about before," Ron said. Dumbledore paused. Then he said: "Little boy, I still don't know what you are talking about. I know no Harry Potter. The boy I was talking about is called James."
