Disclaimer: I do NOT own Harry Potter or any of the other characters to the book they belong to JK ROWLING so please don't sue me XD
Sorry that it has taken me so long to update, I have had some real life issues I have needed to take care of and I am also in College now which takes up a big chunk of my time. Also once again I am very rusty with my writing skills since I rarely write anymore…. Sorry about that XD I am trying the whole "putting a new talker on a new line" thingy since it was suggested by several people….OH and yes I know I let Ginny get off easy… you have no idea how much I wanted to kill her in a horribly painful way buuuuut I didn't want to piss off to many people XP
Chapter Two: To Hermione's
Harry couldn't believe that he was even considering going back in time, he knew all the consequences and he knew what Hermione was going to say, there was no way she would ever agree to helping him go back and risk the chance of changing everything. Harry reached the house of Hermione and Ron and reached out his hand to knock on the door before pulling it back, what was he doing this wasn't right he didn't even know for sure if he was in love with Snape so why was he even there.
The door opened as Harry turned to leave
"Harry?"
The familiar voice sounded concerned, Harry sighed as he turned to look at Hermione
"Hey Hermione I was just in the neighborhood so I thought I would stop by…"
Hermione raised her hand as she smiled
"Harry, you should know by now that you can't lie to me I can tell something is wrong why don't you come in and we can talk about it."
Harry hesitated for a moment then nodded before heading inside.
Harry sat down on the couch looking at the ground as Hermione grabbed a glass of tea setting it down on the coffee table in front of Harry before sitting down herself.
"So Harry why don't you tell me what is bothering you"
Hermione picked up her cup of tea taking a sip of it as she watched him silently, waiting for him to respond, Harry sighed picking up his own cup blowing on it to cool it down.
"I came home from work and found Ginny with Dean they were…."
Harry made a face he couldn't say it out loud it would only make him feel worse and make it real in his mind it would be like finally admitting to himself that it had all happened. Hermione sighed setting down her cup as she looked over to him.
"Harry, you don't have to say it, I already know I wanted to tell you but I wasn't sure if you would believe me and I didn't want to harm our friendship I wish you could have found out sooner I am sure none of this is easy for you and you don't deserve to go through this. I tried to talk to Ron about it to try and have him talk some since into Ginny but he just wouldn't hear anything bad about his sister."
Harry looked in shock at Hermione, how long had she known and that had brought a whole other question to mind, how long had all this been going on without him knowing.
"Harry I am sorry I really did want to tell you"
Harry stood up he couldn't take this he felt betrayed how could Hermione go all that time without telling him that Ginny was cheating on him.
"How could you do that to me Hermione how could you keep that secret how long have you known how long has this been going on! I had the right to know Hermione!"
Hermione sighed letting Harry get out everything that he needed to get out she knew that he was upset and didn't mean the things he was saying. After harry calmed down a bit she stood up speaking softly as to not anger Harry again.
"You are right Harry I should have told you when I first found out"
Harry cut off Hermione before she could continue what she was saying.
"You're damn right you should have told me Hermione you're supposed to be my friend!"
Hermione raised her hand
"Hold it right there Harry I am you're friend and that's why I didn't have the heart to tell you now will you be quiet for a minute and let me finish what I am trying to tell you!"
Harry quieted down as he stood there waiting for her to continue what she was saying.
"There, now as I was saying, she has been going behind your back for a few years now I hoped that you would find out sooner I hated watching her treat you like that… Harry I think I know why you are here and I know you know everything I am going to say … is there any way I can talk you out of this Harry you know how dangerous it is not only just for you but for everyone else, if something were to go wrong it could be cataclysmic.."
Harry shook his head he wanted to go back not only to save Snape but to save the others he couldn't save the first time around.
"I have to go back Hermione, this is something I have to do please understand… it's not just because of Ginny it's because I want to be able to save everyone I couldn't, I know I can beat him again Hermione I know what to do now and I will have you guys by my side."
Hermione got up going over to a cabinet pulling out a flask as she sighed lightly heading back over to Harry.
"You are to stubborn Harry, I knew this day would come, this potion will take you back to our fourth year, it is untraceable by the ministry the only thing that you need to know is that it will put you back in your younger body you will still remember everything and still have the mind of an adult."
Harry reached out taking the potion from Hermione looking down at it, it was a sickly green color and smelled horrible, harry made a face.
"Well I guess the smell means it will work"
Hermione smiled nodding slightly
"that's how you can always tell the good ones, Harry there are a few more things you need to know, the potion packs a punch you will be very week for a while after you arrive in the past, and it would be best if you didn't tell people about returning to the past, the less people who know the better it would be bad if the ministry where to find out."
Harry nodded taking one last glance at the contents of the flask before downing the slimy liquid.
Yes I know I know, I made it fourth year for a reason and no I do not consider it pedophilia or whatever because Harry still has the mind of an adult. Please leave comments and suggestions I read every one! I love you all thank you for reading!
