Hermione managed to transfigure some sleeping bags out of random pieces of litter on the floor and the trio found a subway to sleep in, it was behind the market and didn't smell quite as strongly of urine as most of the others. Hermione also knew a protection charm that would surround them so no one would be able to touch them or their stuff without getting a rather nasty electric shock. Hermione was fast turning into a walking textbook, now she was older her knowledge was truly vast. Sometimes it was quite scary.

Despite the protections, and the fact Harry was sleeping with his wand in his hand and no one would beat him if they tried anything, he couldn't sleep. Clubbers singing and falling over themselves, tramps humming to themselves and the odd Community Warden walking by. The night was rough but eventually morning came and Hermione's knowledge of random spells came in handy again, a cheering charm and a couple to improve their appearances and the group where ready to meet Adam and Hermione at 10.30. The trio set off and sat on the benches, sandwiched between 2 fake palm trees still in their robes and attracting strange glances from passing people along with a few mutters of people wondering weather is was Comic Relief.

Eventually the pair turned up, 5 minutes early to be precise, it was Hermione after all. Adam came over and shook the hands of the people "Hello again" he said, a firm voice matching his handshake.

"Hello, do you mind if we go somewhere a little quieter? I hear there's a rec around here, Pyramid Park is it called?"

Adam nodded "I know where you mean, OK then." The group set off to the green patch in the middle of the town. At one side a bunch of teenagers swearing standard scally robes where throwing things in the lake. They looked like trouble with their sock pulled over their trackies, Rockies on their feat, Adidas and kappa jacks zipped to the top and baseball caps pulled low over their peroxide hair. At the other side of the park, nearest the group was composed of a few teenagers all randomly running up and down the large grassy pyramids which Harry presumed the park was named after. A tall thin boy wearing a full-length leather coat was smoking what looked suspiciously like a joint. He occasionally passing it to the round boy next to him with his meticulously spiked, blonde highlighted hair. 2 girls sat by the side looking bored and a third boy sat staring off into the distance. No doubt about it, this was probably a rough area. Ron, Harry, Adam and both Hermiones sat on the grass, first checking that there were no bottles or needles hidden in the undergrowth. And this is what Bury classed as an open feature. "Would you like a drink or some food?" Hermione asked, Harry wondered where this was leading.

"It's ok thanks" he was now starting to eye the trio suspiciously. Hermione took out her wand and conjured three butterbeers, once again Adam's jaw nearly hit the floor.

"Really, how do you manage these tricks, I've never seen anything like it."

"It seems odd but magic is real, there are wizards and witches out there and we are three of them." Harry said

By this point the younger Hermione was at the bottom of the pyramid trying to teach herself how to do cartwheels. For the first time in her life she was failing miserably and as she was wearing the same pink skirt as the time before whenever she tried to go upside down it exposed her knickers to the world. She was blissfully unaware of the events at the top of the pyramid.

"You lot really have the spiel down to a fine art, love the attention to detail with the robes and everything." Adam admired the Gryffindor patch on the pocket.

"We are not kidding, you see we go to a magic school. We did a charm in class which went wrong, well not wrong as such just not as we expected. The problem is we need Hermione to help us get back."

Adam's face suddenly turned angry, "Liz said this was silly but I thought it might help Hermione at school learning about illusion and imagination. I don't know what you are up to but you are not doing anything with Hermione."

"Listen, the reason we need Hermione is because our younger selves need to say the spell and need to know about magic beforehand. When Hermione is 11 she'll get a letter to go Hogworts School. We know this because she - " Harry directed her gaze at Hermione, "-is Hermione".

"I don't believe you."

"Then ask some questions, or let us teach Hermione a couple of spells." Ron said, Harry sure there was a tinge of sarcasm in his voice which no one else picked up on. Maybe because Ron had grown up with magic this wouldn't seem to odd. Harry on the other hand knew just how strange the whole situation would seem to a muggle, he couldn't blame Adam for being protective of his daughter, it was hardly as if their story was convincing.

"Ok, when's your birthday, what did you get for your 5th Christmas, where do we go on holiday each year and what is a my-my?" Adam reeled off, obviously thinking this would fluster the trio. His voice was rather emotionless by the point, totally different to the enthusiasm when the group first met.

"Date of Birth - 21st September 1980. 5th Christmas we spent in Lapland and when I got back you had bought me a necklace with a small sapphire in it, this one" Hermione pulled the necklace out of her robes, "Each year on holiday we go to Jackdaws, a cottage in Shanklin on the Isle of Wight. It has a fantastic open fire in the front room, a small kitchen and 2 bedrooms coming off. My my-my was a small duvet I used to have as a kid, almost like a safety blanket. It was white with a fairy on it and I took it everywhere with me. Eventually it fell to pieces and mum threw it away when I was at Meg's so I didn't have a say in the matter"

Adam paled, his face looking almost sickly. He obviously didn't want to believe this but had no reason not to trust the woman, despite the far-fetched story. "You see, dad, I'm what's called a muggle born witch, so you are not magical but I am. When I'm 11 I'll get a letter to go to Hogworts School and I'll meet Harry and Ron here. We did this charm in class which was meant to take you to the time you first met or were in close proximity, we figured it would be the first day of school when we knew about magic. We were wrong so now Harry and me have to teach our younger selves a little magic and get the three of them to say an incantation at the same time. Otherwise we won't be able to get back."

Adam nodded, "Ok, so if this happened why didn't you know about magic until you were 11? Also where did you stay last night?"

Hermione laughed "This didn't happen to any of us three, we have changed time. Last night we managed."

"In that case, as you are my daughter, you can stay with us until this is all sorted out, we are here for another 2 days then we will be going back home. We live in Nottinghamshire, your of course welcome to join us if there is still no joy in a few days. It will also make it easier to teach yourself some magic. I don't like to think of my teenage daughter staying in undesirable places. The boys are welcome too."

"Thank you, that'll be fantastic" Harry said. Ron was quickly muttering in agreement.
