Hermione almost fainted at the sight of the creature in the doorway. Covered in a black cloak with its hood over it's head, the creature gave off an alarming sound. It's hands out stretched as if dragging the life out of everything in the room. Hermione pulled Harry to the wall and stood up in defense when she noticed the man in the chair opposite them started to wake.
"HELP!!!" Screamed Hermione.
She had never seen such a repulsive creature in her life. It's hands looked as if they were snake tails and it's body was long and bent out of shape. The creature motioned it's head to Hermione and started to advance, when a silver colored string shot towards it. Hermione struggled for air when she saw the creature turn around and walk out of the cart. An almost sudden feeling of happiness filled her, before she hit the ground hard next to Harry.
When Hermione woke, a strange man was hovering over her holding a piece of what smelled like chocolate over her mouth.
"Eat this" the voice demanded calmly. "Can you sit up?"
"I think so," said Hermione, as she rose up and took the chocolate from the man's hand.
"What happened?" asked Hermione.
"Dementors" the man said plainly as if it were a common word.
"Um, sorry to interrupt but Harry is still out cold". Said Ron slowly advancing on Hermione and the strange man.
Hermione looked at Harry clearly irritated.
"What are dementors doing here?" She questioned
"Ministry business" The man said, ignoring Hermione's anxious look. The man walked over to Harry and started to shake him.
"Wake up Harry"
Harry's hand started to twitch as he slowly regained consciousness.
"That thing!!!" Harry blurted out shockingly
"Harry", interrupted Hermione. "Are you alright"?
"He'll be fine, just eat this". The strange man gave Harry a large block of chocolate and knelt down besides him.
"Sorry again sir., but who are you?" Asked Ron pushing the rest of the chocolate into his mouth.
"Oh. I'm sorry. I'll be your new defense against dark arts teacher. My name is professor Lupin."
"Nice to meet you" said Hermione breaking the long silence.
Lupin looked to the large clock on the end of the cart. His hair flew freely and covered a patch on the collar of his robe.
"I expect will be arriving soon" Said Lupin in more of an exhausted tone.
Hermione took a glanced out the window and watched as the Hogwarts School slowly approached.
"We're just about there," she added with an ump to her voice.
"Ah yes" said professor Lupin as the train came to sudden stop.
After Harry, Ron and Hermione got into the castle Hermione, Hermione ran off without saying good-bye.
"Where are you going Hermione?" Asked Ron with a puzzled look on his face.
"Oh.Um. To the Library"
"Don't you want to see the first years?"
"Rather not, I want to get a head start"
Hermione listened as Harry and Ron whispered to each other and walked away. Hermione had made arrangements with Professor Mcgonagall to have a time turner, because she had to many courses to attend at one time. A time turner was a big responsibility and not everyone could have it. Because Hermione was such a good student professor Mcgonagall fought to get her one.
"Hello Hermione" said Mcgonagall "I suppose you're here for the time turner.
Professor Mcgonagall turned to her desk and picked up a package that had Hermione's name on it.
"I hope I can trust you to use it responsibly?" Said Mcgonagall pulling down her glasses.
Hermione Paused.
"There is something I need to discuss with you before I can let you have it. Seeing as how you are entering the past here, there are rules you must follow"
Mcgonagall wiped her nose and began again.
"Witches & wizards throughout the centuries have found themselves in nasty binds while time Traveling. Many at times stuck in past years. Hermione it is very important that you not go to far back, a few hours is necessary. You should not attempt to go back years or months. If you do, you must wait out the remainder of time, be it years or months."
Mcgonagall's eyes started to twinkle.
"But I trust you wouldn't attempt such a silly thing as to travel farther than an hour or two."
"But what if I do it by accident?" asked Hermione
Professor Mcgonagall's eyes started look Hermione up and down.
"You can go backward in time with a shake of a hand, but to go forward it would take a drop of sand." Professor Mcgonagall stopped and stared at Hermione as if hinting to something.
"But professor I don't understand how can you.."
"Here Hermione," said Mcgonagall. "Now run along!! We wouldn't want you to miss the feast".
Hermione stared at Mcgonagall awestruck before taking the package from her. She walked out of the room and down the corridor by professor Snape's office looking at the portraits.
"Why would I want to go far back in time?" Hermione asked herself.
By time Hermione got to the bewitched ceiling, the room was empty. Everyone had already gone to bed and were getting ready to sleep. On her way to the fat lady portrait she ran into Percy. He gave her the password and ran off in a bit of a hurry.
"Balderdash" Hermione said to the fat lady slightly irritated.
"Very well" said the portrait.
Hermione went through the hole and walked into the girls dormitory, where she got dressed and went to bed. Her mind full of questions.
"What did professor Mcgonagall mean by a drop of sand?" Hermione asked as she drifted to sleep on her four poster bed.
