Hey people who actually BOTHERED to read my crappy little fic. Hehe… I'm not gonna do any introducing here, I PRESUME that you have read Harry Potter before.

Double Trouble

Chapter One: Tunnel of Time

Harry, Hermione and Ron stepped out into the warm sunshine.

'What a glorious day for studying,' said Hermione, stretching out next to the lake with a thick textbook.

'I feel like having a cup of iced pumpkin juice,' said Ron, grabbing a cup from a small boy who was passing.

'Ronald!' exclaimed Hermione. Harry was silent. He looked out over to a group of Ravenclaw girls, including Cho Chang. His eyes were wandering about, but none of this sunk into his brain.

Maybe… he thought.

'Hermione,' said Harry suddenly. 'Umm… er… you know your Time-Turner…?'

'Harry,' said Hermione, slightly impatiently. 'We've been through this. I don't want to risk it. Last time the Ministry went crazy, and I was loaded with owls for weeks! Stop thinking about it, Harry. The past has happened, and it happened a long time ago. There's almost no way to change it without suffering serious consequences. We'd have to change a lot of things.'

'I know, I know,' said Harry quickly, looking away.

'Come on mate, we could steal it?' suggested Ron hopefully as soon as Hermione had opened her book.

'We're not allowed in the girl's dormitories, remember that time where we tried going up? We got totally humiliated,' retorted Harry angrily. Why didn't Hermione understand how he felt?

Oh, yeah, just because she's got her parents and all, thought Harry. No one understands how I feel. Just because their parents haven't been murdered. I wonder if there's any other way to change it…

'We could get Ginny to nick it,' said Ron in a low voice.

'Oh, Harry, for the last time!' cried Hermione. 'Can you stop being so misjudging?'

'Showing your Occlumency skills, now, are you?' said Harry through gritted teeth. Hermione made up her mind suddenly.

'Well if you want,' she said slyly, slipping the chain around her neck, Harry's and Ron's. She was partially interested in what would happen. She was sick of being a goody-two-shoes, sick of being everybody's slave for homework. Hermione turned the Time-Turner multiple times, until it felt like her arm was going to fall off. The fine silver instrument whirred around and around. The world went fuzzy, and the last thing Harry remembered was a cold blackness, and Hermione screaming, 'We'll have to Apparate at the same time!'…

Harry, Hermione and Ron landed on the street outside Godric's Hollow.

'Phew!' said Hermione, looking around. She quickly tucked the Time-Turner into the front of her robes.

'October 31st, 1981,' muttered Harry.

'Yes, that's right,' said Hermione, setting her watch to the right time. 'We have a few hours to move the Baby Harry, Lily and James someplace safe.'

'Okay,' said Harry, unsure of what to do now he was living out his dream. In his dreams, though, he was the one taking charge, the one in the lead, saving his parents' and his own life. This was going to be a hard journey through time.
