Hermione grumbled as she walked down the corridors how dare; Ronald talk about her and Harry's relationship dare like that! He had not right to say anything; it was not like she meant to fall in love with Harry. Hermione stomped down the ways looking for anyone who was out and about pass curfew.
Of course she was so mad that her fellow Gryffindor's was even mocking her. Everyone saying that she was with Harry for his money and fame. She gave a hollow laugh as she stopped and closed her eyes. Hermione was with Harry because he is and will always be her best friend. He knows her better than anyone. Even though Hermione was fearful for the future she kept on walking and had her head held high.
There was a growl that came from within her. She had too much to deal with already and she did not need all of the crap that she was getting. It seemed that Harry was the only one there for her now. Stomping down the way she sighed thinking about everything that was happening this year and let alone what happened over the summer. Walking down the way a little she closed her eyes and sighed. Harry and Ron didn't even know what happened; it wasn't that she didn't want to tell them. It was she didn't know exactly how to tell them.
Just then Hermione looked out a nearby window and nodded, she needed some air taking a breath she slowly walked outside. She just needed to get away from everything right now. About an hour later Hermione found herself in the Forbidden Forest. "Great, I walked too far." She grumbled and then rolled her eyes. She knew that if Harry found out she went into the forest alone he would blow a head gasket. Of course she just needed to think for a moment and it seemed everything was falling into place in her mind.
Then Hermione heard a laugh behind her, freezing the young Gryffindor turned around, "Aww lookie here I found the mud-blood." Hermione gasped and took her wand out shooting a stunning spell at the death eater she took off running as fast as she could. Thinking to herself 'Shit now watch I am going to end up getting killed.' Running as fast as she could Hermione soon saw someone up ahead. She hoped that it was Dumbledore or even Snape for that matter. Running faster she tripped and fell. However it wasn't a male's voice she heard shooting spells it was a woman's.
Hermione's eyes traveled from the death eater who was on the ground to the woman standing before her. A wave of panic rushed through her, was that an older version of herself? Taking a deep breath Hermione stood up and looked up at the woman, "I, no who?" Hermione couldn't get anything out right now. She was just too confused about everything, why was she looking at herself. Taking a deep breath Hermione stood there and thought for a moment, then thinking back to her third year. "A Time Turner." Hermione looked up at her and bit her bottom lip looking away. "Where are you from? Or well when would be the correct question."
