Read & review, please!!!

Chapter 2: The mystery of time

Back in the Griffindor Tower they sat toghether in a corner of the common room.

"The mystery of time" Harry said, looking at the book.

"Who has written it?" asked Hermione.

"I don't know, there's no name, but it looks self-made"

"Hmm..." Hermione took the book.

"Come on, start reading" Ron said impatiently.

She opened the book and read:

"Congratulations!!!

So you're the lucky one who has found our concealment!

In this book we bring together all our knowledge about time-warping

It really helped us for some essays (hehe, we just asked the people what they did and how they did it!!!)!

There are also some tips you should follow!

We hope you'll enjoy it.

Yours,

S.B., J.P., R.L., P.P., H.D., R.W"

Hermione stopped reading and looked at the others

"Who are all those people???" Ron wondered, but Harry didn't answer.

He looked as if he had seen a ghost (if he wasn't used to seeing ghosts all day).

"What's up, Harry?" asked Ron.

"If we could really travel back in time, then...!"

"Then what?" asked Hermione.

"Just imagine" Harry started again "then I could meet my parents here, when they went to Hogwarts!"

"Wow, Harry, we have to try it!!!" Ron shouted.

"Psst, not that loud, or do you want all the others to know what's in this book?" Hermione said seriously.

"Anyway, I think we should go to bed now, it's 11.30"

Harry took the book and went with Ron up to their dorm. On his bed he found the card Colin had shown himand a note: 'Please sign it for me.Colin!'

He put it into his bag, changed his clothes and went to bed.

*********************************************************************

After an hour, which seemed to be as long as the whole night, Harry lay still awake in his bed. He couldn't take his mind off his parents, so he took the book from under his pillow and read:

'The charm is easy, but you have to remember all this things, so read this first:

1. NEVER kill a person!!!

2. People, who will know you in future, may not know who you are, that would

confuse them later!

3. You have to be back to the year you cam from after 6 months. If you're not back

then, you will be completely deleted!

...'

After some time Harry was fast asleep.

*********************************************************************

On the next day at breakfast they planned their journey:

"After lunch we'll take the things we need and go to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, the rest we'll do there, okay???"

Harry and Ron nodded.

*********************************************************************

It seemed as if the morning would never end. Harry looked at his watch every minute.

'Is this damned thing broken??' he thought, but it was still their first lesson: Potions!

"Mr Potter? Mr Potter? This is not a place for sleeping, not even for you!" Snape's angry voice called him back to reality.

"So would you please tell us what is missing in this potion?" Snape said sharply.

"I don't know!" Harry answered quietly.

"What did you say?" said Snape with a cold grin on his face.

"I don't know!" Harry repeated angrily.

"OUr sweet, little hero Harry Potter doesn't know the answer? Do you know what happens to so-called heroes who think to know everything? They become zeroes!"

Harry heard Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle laugh in the background.

"Okay, who DOES know the answer?" Snape said, ignoring Hermione once again...

*********************************************************************

When the morning.lessons had at last finished, Harry, Ron and Hermione went to the Great Hall. Harry was even more nervous than at his first day at Hogwarts.

He nearly ran into a knock down with Colin, whi asked him for the signed card.

The three sat down and ate as fast as they could, not realizing what they were actually eating, and left the Great Hall.

Fred and George looked suspiciously at each other, but they were too hungry to follow them.

Back in their dorms they stuffed all they needed into their bags. One minute later they found themself in front of Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. It was the first time Harry was really happy to be there.

They entered the room and heard Myrtle cra, but they didn't mind it.

"Okay, what do we have to do?" asked Ron.

"Oh, you still know where my bathroom is?

You didn't visit me for two whole years!" Myrtle said with her usual shaky voice.

"I'm sorry, we're not here to visit you, we have to do something!" said Hermione.

"Oh, sure, let's all use Myrtle's bathroom, without even saying 'hello', or 'how are you?'! Myrtle's just a ghost nobody likes, so don't care about her!" Myrtle started crying again.

"No Myrtle, please..."

"Hey, I wanna go now, she'll never stop crying!" Harry interrupted Hermione.

"Yes, right, don't care about me, I'm just..."

Harry, Ron and Hermione stopped paying attention to her and looked at the book.

"Okay, we have to hold each others hands and say: tempus antea, annus.....to what year do we want to go?" Hermione asked.

"Hmm, let me see......in 1973 my parents must have been as old as us!" Harry answered.

"Okay, then let's start. All ready? Good! One, two, three!"

"Tempus antea, annus 1973!" they said all together.
