"Hey, hermione, Ron.. wait up!" Harry Potter called out to his two best friends, Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger, as he ran to catch up with them.

"Hi Harry," Ron and hermione greeted him cheerfully.

"Listen you guys, there is something I have to show you, but, I can't show it to you here, right now. Meet me at the Gryffindor common room at midnight, Okay?" "I don't know, Harry," hermione said slowly "is this 'something' you have to show us dangerous?"

"Oh, for qudditch's sake hermione, cut me some slack will you" Harry said impatiently.

"Hey, I am just looking out for us, O.K.?"

Ron snorted and hermione glared at him, opening her mouth to say something. Harry, sensing a fight, jumped in between and asked if they both were coming, and, to his great relief, they stopped glaring at each other and muttered a "fine". ***********

Hermione slowly got off her bed, put on her robe and crept down stairs, afraid that she would make some noise and wake somebody up. She did not know what it was that Harry wanted to show Ron and her, but she hoped that it was not anything bad. By the time Hermione had reached the common room, Both Harry and Ron were there, looking very pissed off.

"What took you so long?" Ron snapped.

"Sor-ry, but I had to make sure that no one saw me." Hermione snapped back.

"So, Harry, what did you want to show us?" Ron asked, ignoring Hermione.

"O.K., so, I was taking a walk yesterday on the grounds of hogwarts and guess what I found."

"What?" Hermione and Ron asked impatiently.

"This" Harry said, putting his hand out for Ron and Hermione to see.

"Um, Harry, isn't that a time turner?" Ron asked.

"Harry, y-you are not planning to use it, right?" stammered Hermione.

"Well Of course, I am, we all are."

"No way, absolutely not, nuh-uh." Hermione said, shaking her head firmly.

"I hate to say this, mate, but she does have a point." Ron said.

"Yeah, I know that and stuff, but this is a good chance to see what really went on in the past." Harry argued.

"Harry, there is no way I am travelling with that thing to the past to see you-know-who kill people." Hermione said, crossing her arms.

"Look, it's not a big deal. I mean, we will be back soon and no one will even know." Harry said, looking to Ron for help. But, Ron suddenly seemed very interested in his shoes.

Hermione still was not convinced. "Harry, we would be breaking a million rules if we travel to the past in that thing. We could even get expelled. Professor Dumbledore will not be there to save your neck every time, you know."

"Fine, I promise we will not go into the time when Voldermort was in full power and killing people. But, come on, its not like we haven't broken rules before." Harry told Hermione, his eyes pleading.

"Fine, I'll come. But, we have to be back before anyone even realizes that we are gone." Hermione said, hands on her hips.

"deal.
