Chapter Two: The Time Turner

The next day Ginny was walking down the halls still feeling lonely and loveless. She was on her way to Potions, thinking why she broke up with Dean and how pathetic she was that she needed a boyfriend to feel happy and content, when she bumped into someone.

"Sorry I wasn't paying…" Coming out of her reverie she looked up at the person and she glared. "Oh it's you then I'm not sorry."

"Tut, tut, Weasley you shouldn't be so rude to your betters." Draco Malfoy sneered.

"Betters? I hope you're not talking about yourself because you're no better than a slug." Ginny responded becoming more frustrated by the minute.

"Look I'm not in the mood to deal with your petty remarks. I'm sorry that I bumped into you. Now may I go, please?" Ginny asked exasperated.

Malfoy looked her up and down. "My, my haven't we grown to be a beautiful woman? Too bad you're a Weasley. If you weren't, I would've considered dating you."

Ginny flushed, "Ugh you… ah! You're so frustrating I can't even think of a proper insult! Good bye Malfoy I hope you trip down the staircase!"

Malfoy chuckled as Ginny stalked down to the dungeons, "Yes, I would've definitely considered dating you." He said to no body as he walked to his next class his mind now on the feisty little red head.

'Stupid git! Would've considered dating me like I would ever go out with him! He's so frustrating and so cocky. I hope I'll be able to see the day when his ego blows out and he becomes humble!' Ginny so focused on her thoughts that she didn't notice the inconspicuous tile sticking out in front of her.

"Ahh!" She tripped and slammed into a wall that turned out to be a secret passage way. The wall turned around leaving everyone to suspect that it was just a normal wall while Ginny, on the other side, went sliding down a tunnel backwards.

Minutes later she crashed down landing in a mysterious dungeon like room. 'Great, just what I need! Now how am I supposed to get out of here?' Ginny wondered while she rubbed her head that was now throbbing from the landing.

The room was dark blue with shelves and desks cluttered with all sort of odd and amazing objects. There were no windows and the only source of light was four torches that were lit as if somebody already had been there.

Ginny, not being able to resist the temptation, walked up to one of the desks in the far left corner and carefully started to go through the clutter of wondrous objects. She stopped when she recognized a time turner and gasped. She had only seen pictures of it in certain books in the library. She never imagined she would hold such an ingenious object.

'I wonder if should I use this? No, Ginny don't be stupid!' She shook her headand was about to set it back down on the table when a rat jumped at her.

"Ahh!" Ginny screamed surprised and the time turner flew out of her hands and into the air.

"Shit." Ginny said aloud and used her quidditch skills and lunged for it before it smashed on the ground.

'Whew. That was a close one.' She sighed as it landed in the palm of her hand. Before she could set it down it flashed a bright light and it engulfed her.

"Oww." Ginny moaned as she landed on her back after the light disappeared. 'Where the bloody hell am I?' She thought as she stood up and looked around an empty classroom.

"May I help you Miss?" Ginny jumped startled by the voice and turned around to see Dumbledore behind her his eyes sparkling with amusement.

"Oh professor! I'm sorry I was late to Snape's class, but I tripped and fell into a secret passageway. And then I found this time turner and I accidentally threw it into the air because of this rat that startled me, but any way. I caught the time turner and a bright light engulfed me and now I'm here and why are you looking at me like that?" Ginny finished hurriedly as Dumbledore looked at her with a blank look trying to comprehend what she had said.

Few minutes later Dumbledore frowned, "Oh dear. May I ask you what year it is?"

Ginny looked at him with oddly 'What the bloody hell?' "The year is 1997, sir. Why do you ask?"

"Oh dear. I'm afraid miss that you somehow have time traveled back forty years for the year here is 1957." Dumbledore explained.

Ginny's mouth fell open, "Forty years! 1957? Oh, god I think I'm going to faint." Which she did in Dumbledore's classroom.

"Oh dear better bring her to Madame Fix." Dumbledore spoke out loud and transfigured a scroll of paper into a stretcher and levitated her to the Hospital wing.
