Okay, short update tonight. Hopefully I will have a longer one up tomorrow, I'm working on it right now. Things are going to start to pick up speed...

The next morning was frantic. Snape had explained to them the night before what exactly was to happen.
When they arrived at Hogwarts, in the past, they would be arriving as already sorted seventh year Slytherin students. They knew Tom would already have created the diary, but they knew how to get rid of it. Harry had done it once, he could do it again. So all they would have left to do would be to kill Tom Riddle himself. Head Boy of Hogwarts.
They were to pack as little as possible, and Gwen had specific instructions on how many different turns to do in order to place them in the correct time. They were leaving at 9:00 am, it was 8:55 when everyone gathered round in the center of the kitchen.
The four formed a small circle around Gwen, who had the time turner around her neck, holding the hourglass in her outstretched hand.
She took a deep breath. "Everyone ready?" They nodded.
"Grab hold of each other, one hand on me."
She saw Draco put one hand on Hermione's shoulder and one on her's. Hermione smiled to herself. Gwen felt Harry grab her hand, and turned, gazing into his eyes.
"Ready?" she asked him.
"Of course." He replied, but he squeezed her hand tighter.
She looked over at Ron, who gave her a grim smile. She smiled back.
"On the count of three. One…two..."
Hermione squeezed her eyes shut.
"…Three." Gwen spun the time-turner, feeling the world around her begin to blur and rip away. It was happening, they were doing it, they were going to make it after all. She closed her eyes, and felt herself be pushed back in time.
