Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, or the idea of sending characters in time, I am making no money off this.
A/N: as this is set in 1971, I have no clue what happened in that time, (probably due to the fact that I was born like… two decades after that) so it may be confusing… (also, I'm not sure how old Ginny's parents are, but I'm making them seventh years (head boy and girl) also, I have tried multiple times to make past Fanfics, my undoing is the scene where the character is told to blend in as a student… so I'm not gonna really add that part much… in the summary, it says Ginny has special powers, in this story, the Prewetts are decendent from a very powerful witch/wizard, and so those in that line tend to have special powers (the sight, ability to talk to animals, stuff like that) but that won't be very important until later on, not sure who the very powerful witch/wizard is gonna be… did I mention I didn't plan out this story very well? Thanks to those who reviewed!
The first thing that registered in her mind was that it was very white, Ginny sat up, it looked a lot like a hospital room, Ginny sat puzzled for a few minutes, trying to remember what happened.
'The mirror!' Ginny thought, after a minute's attempt to remember, 'I was pulled through the mirror, and into… wherever I am' she only had a minute more to think about this. as a old man with long silver hair and beard (both were long enough to tuck into his belt), a long crooked nose, Half moon glasses, and Twinkling blue eyes.
"Hello, I am Albus Dumbledore, I suppose you are wondering what happened?" He said.
Ginny was too confused to speak, so Dumbledore continued "You Have fallen through a time portal, What year is it in your time?"
"1992" Ginny said, as confused as ever.
"In that case you have gone 21 years in the past, What is you name? And how old are you?" Dumbledore said kindly.
"Ginevra Weasley, 11" Ginny said, Still confused.
"Alright then, I'll explain a bit more, and then you should join the other students on the Hogwarts Express as it will look suspicious if you are already here"
Ginny looked at the Train sadly, she had been dreaming of going to Hogwarts her entire life, although in those dreams she had her older brothers with her. Now she was going alone, she wasn't even in the same time as them, She was twenty years in the past, and she did not know how to get home.
Ginny got onto the train, and searched for a empty compartment, finally finding one that was not completely crowded, the only person inside was a Girl with long red hair, and green eyes. The girl looked familiar, and Ginny tried to remember where she had seen this girl before, But couldn't.
Ginny slid open the door "can I sit in here?"
"Sure" the Girl said
Ginny sat down "I'm Ginny"
"Lily" the girl responded, there was a pause and then she asked "is this your first year?"
"Yes" Ginny replied
"me too" They continued chatting, ending up becoming friends. (A/N: we're gonna skip boring chit-chat, I have not made a friend since I was… like 9 or 10… and also… harder to think up UN-important small-talk for two Hogwarts students… we're skipping to the end of the train ride)
Ginny and Lily left the train and walked out into the Freezing rain, a huge man shouted "Firs' years! Firs' years this way!"
They followed him along the path to the lake, when they saw the castle the first years all said "oooooooooooh" Except Ginny of course, she had seen it when she came through the time portal.
A/N: I think this is one of the longest chapter of anything I have ever written, as the next part of getting to the school is UN-eventful, things happen pretty much like this: they get to the lake, are joined by Neville's parents in the boat, they get to the school, go inside, meet professor Mcgonagall, she gives them a very boring speech, next chapter is the sorting. And so here is the second chapter… despite the fact that it is not very good, I feel fairly proud of it… not sure why… Please Review!
