A/N: I hope that you'll like this chapter. It's Journey to the Past. The original version; the one that's in the movie.
Since that day in Hogwarts, people have been gossiping all over the wizarding world. Especially the money. There was a reward to the finding of Hermione Granger. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley were willing to pay 10 million Galleons to the one who finds her and brings her back.

Who knows?
Shh!!
As the crowd parted to go back to work, you could see the mountains in the background and in front of those mountains was an orphanage that a girl of 25 lived as an assistant caretaker.
This girl's name was Maya……well; truly, she didn't know her last name. She was wondering around when she was 17 and happened upon the orphanage. She needed money so she started to work there. But as the years went by, she grew to love the job because, for some reason, she loved being around children.
The only things that she had that somehow connected her with the past was a blue dress that she was wearing (apparently she was in a grand ball) and a necklace that read "Friends Forever."
But the caretaker said that she was too young to be working there day and night instead of having fun or going somewhere other than the market. The caretaker, Mrs. Turner, had gotten her a job at a local bookstore.
"You take this path until you get to the fork in the road. Go left. Are you listening?" said Mrs. Turner.
They were outside the orphanage and were walking towards the gates.
"I'm listening." Was all Maya had said.
"For the last 8 years, I've fed you, I've clothed you, I've—" but she was cut off by Maya.
"Kept a roof over my head, I know." Maya said irritably.
Mrs. Turner said nothing. She opened the gate for Maya and shut it, slamming it, behind Maya.
She walked into the woods until she came to the sign that Mrs. Turner was talking about.
"'Be grateful, Maya' she says. Well, I am grateful! Grateful to get away! 'Go left!' she says. I'll be Maya the orphan forever. But if I go right, then maybe I can find……" she started to finger the necklace, which she never took off, and closely examined it.
"Whoever gave me this necklace must've cared for me." She said to herself. She looked up and started to talk to the shy. "Send me a sign! A hint! Anything!"
A little gray dog appeared out of nowhere from the snow and grabbed her scarf. He started to tug it until it came clean of her neck and the dog started to drag it towards the part where the sign said "London."
"Hey give that back. Hey give me it. Hey, stop that! Give me that! I'm waiting for a sign." She pulled and tugged, but with no avail. That little dog was strong.
"Oh, great! A dog wants me to go to London." She said once she realized it going down that path. She realized what she said and mumbled to herself, "All right. I can take a hint."
The wind blew her brown hair off of her honey colored eyes and fresh snow started to fall from the sky.
Heart, don't fail me now
Courage, don't desert me
Don't turn back now that we're here
People always say:
Life is full of choices
No one ever mentions fear
Or how the world can seem so vast
On the journey...to the past
Somewhere down this road
I know someone's waiting
Years of dreams just can't be wrong!
Arms will open wide
I'll be safe and wanted
Finally home where I belong
Well, starting here, I'm learning fast
On this journey...to the past
Home, Love, Family
There was once a time
I must have had them too
Home, Love, Family
I will never be complete
Until I find you...
One step at a time,
One hope, then another
Who knows where this road may go
Back to who I was
On to find my future,
Things my heart still needs to know
Yes, let this be a sign!
Let this road be mine!
Let it lead me to my past
And bring me home...
At last...
She looked over the hills and saw a breath taking sight: the London skyline completely covered in snow. She walked into London and found herself in downtown London where the people were running into the nearest places to shelter themselves from the cold. She herself went into a shabby looking pub that she could've sworn the sign outside said "The Leaky Cauldron."
A/N: I know I could've done it a bit longer, but I wanted the next songs to be in a chapter by itself. The next chapter she gets reintroduced to Draco and Blaise and the Wizarding world all together. Hope you like it! R/R please!
