Chapter 1: Welcome to 1977
Hermione sat quietly staring at the time-turner. Ron was practically breaking down the door yelling, "Hermione! Open up! What'd you mean you gotta do something alone?! Why were you saying goodbye?! Bloody hell Hermione! OPEN UP!"
She knew that he would get in sometime and so she decided that now was the time. She looked around the room taking in everything.
If you do this Hermione, you'll never come back… Are you prepared for that? Hermione's subconscious asked. "Of course I am… I need to do this… there's just one more thing I need before I go…"
Hermione grabbed her bag and dug around for her photo album. Once she found it – lying on a pile of fallen books – she opened to the first page that had her favourite picture of the golden trio. It was a picture of Ron, Harry and herself in the snow at Hogsmeade in their third year smiling and giggling happily. She smiled sadly at the picture before folding it neatly and putting it in the pocket of her jeans. She took a deep breath and started to turn the time turner.

BACK IN 1977…
Albus Dumbledore paced in his office readying himself for all the students' arrival at Hogwarts this evening. The recent death eater attacks on muggles and muggle-borns were worrying him and today he would make sure that his students and faculty will enjoy their first evening here in this peaceful school. Everything was perfectly fine until…
"WOW! It worked!" said a young female voice.
Albus turned quickly on the spot wand drawn, but when he turned he saw a girl who looked about 17 or 16 with brown curly hair that puffed. She had a small nose and big chocolate coloured eyes that were slightly read and puffy from what looked like crying. Her lips were curved in a small sad smile and she wore strange attire for this age.
"Oh Merlin, it's so nice to see you again Dumbledore Sir," she said sweetly but the old man noticed the tears building in her eyes. He moved towards the young girl as she started to cry and said, "dear child, do not cry…" he brought her into a fatherly hug and continued, "now would you like to tell me what's going on and how you got here?"
The girl looked up and introduced herself, "My name is Hermione Jean Granger. I'm 17 and technically in my 7th year here at Hogwarts in the year 1997… I'm here to change the future."
After a long uncomfortable silence Dumbledore said, "Well Miss Granger, welcome to Hogwarts in the year 1977."
