Prologue: A Brief Interlude in the Past
"You know, this is my most impressive discovery to date, if I do say so myself." Dumbledore had been playing with the idea of jumping through time with a set of spells for months now. He had been able to send warnings to his past self that he was going to make an appearance, and had finally done so.
His past self nodded. They had been discussing a particularly sensitive issue, one that seemed to provide a key to the problem that had been plaguing Hogwarts' past, present, and future, and had finally reached a conclusion.
"Are you absolutely sure this is the right thing to do? Tampering with time is a most dangerous activity."
"I assure you that all precautions will be taken. The young lady in question is the most powerful witch Hogwarts has seen since, well, the young man that she is to save. However, I do believe it prudent we induct those into the Order that I had mentioned before, so they will be aware of the situation, and so that they are able to provide help should she require it."
"I agree wholeheartedly. Miss Evans has already been inducted and apprised of the situation, and has willingly given the title of Head Girl to your student to facilitate the mission. I believe everything is in order. When will you be sending her through?"
"I will speak with her tomorrow, in my time of course, and should send her along in a day or two. She will arrive a week before the start of term, your time. Miss Granger may very well save the wizarding world a great deal of sorrow."
The Dumbledores, both past and present, nodded in agreement as they stepped back into their own times.
A/N: I would like to start of this note by expressing my gratitude on your taking time to read this, my first, fan fiction, and secondly I promise you that all will be explained, to the best of my abilities in due time. Also, I, obviously, do not own these characters (and as such, they are property of one J.K. Rowling, Bloomsbury Publishing, and Warner Bros.) but my do I like to have fun with them without the goodness of profit. Anyone with questions my e-mail me (my e-mail is provided in my author page), and I will respond to each individually. On a final note, I do not have a beta, so all mistakes are of my design.
