Chapter 1

Ginny opened her eyes slowly, her back ached and she had a major headache. But she didn't seem to bruised, sitting up cautiously she examined her surroundings. She was exactly where she had fallen, only now it was dark, hadn't anyone been through here and found her?

Examining the ground around her, Ginny saw that the Time turner was nowhere to be seen. She checked her wrist- she couldn't see it. 'Hermione's gonna kill me!'

Pushing herself up on wobbly legs she half climbed, half dragged herself up the stairway. Noticing that the door was locked, she pulled her wand from her sleeve and muttered a quick spell.

"Alohamora!"

Nothing happened, pushing on the door once more she sighed and headed back down to the common room. When she walked into the red and gold room, she saw that the room was void of any students.

Hobbling slightly, she exited the portrait door and decided it would be best to spend the night down in the hospital wing. It took her a few minutes longer than it would have usually done but Ginny arrived down at the curiously empty wing and called for the medi-witch.

"Madame Pomfrey?" Within a few seconds the witch appeared and looked at Ginny, a mixture of curiosity and shock on her face.

"Um, I slipped on the stairs in Gryffindor tower." Ginny mumbled her explanation. Her mind seemed to be foggy, and the edge of her vision seemed to be blurring.

"Who are you? How did you get in the castle?" Demanded Pomfrey. Ginny's head snapped up quickly, to quickly- her vision failed for a few seconds. When it returned she looked up at the slightly panicked witch, her eyes suddenly noticing the differences in the woman.

Her hair was no longer grey but a soft greying brown, there seemed to be less lines around her eyes.

"What.?" Ginny let the darkness over take her, as she collapsed to the ground.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~#####~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How on earth did she get in the school?"

"Better yet Minerva, who is she? Wait a minute.she's regaining consciousness." Familiar voices swirled around the dense fog that was clouding her mind.

Opening her eyes cautiously, her gaze settled on Madame Pomfrey and Professors' McGonagall and Dumbledor, who was sitting at her bedside, a placid smile on her face.

"How are you feeling young lady?" Ginny smiled and pushed herself up awkwardly. "I've been better. What happened, why was no one in the common room?"

Dumbledor smiled again, "There tends not to be many students in school during the summer holidays."

Ginny starred at him for a few minutes, if it wasn't for his serious expression she would have laughed. "Summer holidays? But it's the middle of March!"

Poppy and Minerva looked at each other with odd expressions plastered across their faces, they thought she was mad. "Now my dear, first things first, what is your name?"

She couldn't help it, she began to panic, why where they asking her this? She gazed up at their faces hoping for some sign that this was all an elaborate joke. As she looked at each staff member she started seeing small differences. "My name? Professor, I've been attending Hogwarts for four and a half years, surely you haven't forgotten my name!"

"Now, my dear, please calm down but we have never spoken, before today."

Ginny's eyes widened at that, starring at the three people in the room, the differences became more noticeable. What had happened? "Ginny.um, Virginnia Weasley."

"Well, Miss Weasley, would you mind telling me how you found your way into." McGonagll's question was cut of by Professor Dumbledor raising a silencing hand.

"Ginny," he asked softly. "Would you mind telling me the year of your birth?"

Realising what her headmaster was suggesting, Ginny gasped. "1982" Dumbledor merely nodded, whilst Pomfrey and McGonagall appeared ready to faint.

"How is that possible?" Gasped the usually unmovable transfiguration teacher.

Ginny's eyes widened in realisation, "The time turner! I had a time turner; it belongs to a friend of mine. I slipped whilst I was holding it!" Professor Dumbledor nodded again; "I suspected as much, I had Mr Filch examine Gryffindor tower after Poppy told us you had been there. All he found that was unusual was a golden chain and a few shards of glass."

"It's broken? How am I supposed to get back now?"

"I'm uncertain as of yet. But we will find a way to return you to the correct time." He added reassuringly, "As for now you will have to remain in 1974 until we find some answers."

Ginny's mind whirled, "1974? The Harry's." Ginny trailed off suddenly, and glanced up to see Dumbledor looking at her quizzically. "I think it would be best if during you're time here you refrained from mentioning anything about what the future will bring."

Madam Pomfrey turned and went to fetch a potion, whilst the head master continued. "Similarly, we will need to find you a new name, we cant have you running into any family members now, can we?" Ginny nodded mutely, this was too much for her to take in.

"It is August twenty-sixth, students will be returning to Hogwarts in a few days. We shall present you as a new student, who had been home tutored before now. I'm afraid that you will have to be sorted once more. Do you understand?"

Ginny nodded again, the repercussions of what he was saying, were barely settling in- the only thing she knew was that she would be in the same year as Harry's parents.

"We'll need to find you a new name as well. Do you have any preferences?" When Ginny shook her head, Dumbledor continued. "Very well, I must say I've always been rather fond of the name Lily."
