"Talking"

'Thinking'

'Animal talking'

Hermione felt something lightly touch her forehead and shake her shoulder. She wanted to open her eyes but they felt extremely heavy. Finally, after a minute of struggling, her eyes opened. The only thing she could see were Ginny's brown eyes. Hermione tried to sit up even though she could feel every muscle protest. Ginny quickly grabbed ahold of her so she could sit up. While her eyes were trying to focus on where they were, the red head pulled out a small bottle. She brought it up to her older sister's lips and Hermione drank it without question.

Ginny's spoke with a soft voice. "It will help ease the pain. It's a good thing I brought extra potions with me." While she was talking, Hermione's eyes finally finished focusing. After the potion took effect, Hermione stood up to look around where they were. After taking a quick look around, she realized that the two of them had landed in the Shrieking Shack.

Turning to her friend, Hermione began to speak in a slightly raspy voice. "Ginny, we need to hurry to the castle. We need a plan and I think we need to hurry and see Dumbledore." Nodding, Ginny began to stand up.

Hermione noticed that Ginny looked almost exactly like she did when she was 15. The only differences were that she had a white horse tattoo on her arm, her hair was slightly longer, and her chest was more developed. Seeing her friend looking for changes, Ginny began to look Hermione up and down as well. Hermione's chest was slightly larger than it had been when she was in her fifth year, she had her own animal on her arm, and her hair was less wild.

"Hermione, what are we going to tell him? You know that bad things can happen to wizards who mess with time, so do you think that he would turn us in? I know he is kind, but I don't know if he would allow this." Eyes flashing with understanding, Hermione spoke as they began making their way to Hogwarts through the secret passage. "Look Ginny, I know you're worried. I am too, but we need to tell him. He needs to know what we are doing here, how we got here, and how we know so much. He also deserves to know what happens in the future. We need someone from this time who can help us. Since we are going to change what will happen in the future, I honestly don't think it matters." Ginny nodded as they reached the end of the tunnel. Being more flexible, Hermione changed into a black panther and quickly touched the spot on the tree that would stop it from harming them.

After changing back, the girls walked up to the castle. As they made their way to the Headmaster's office, a sense of nostalgia and sadness enveloped them. After finally reaching the staircase, they began thinking of what the password was. "It has to be a sweet." Hermione nodded, but had trouble thinking of what it was since there were so many sweets. Suddenly, a voice that had always calmed them down spoke. "The password is gum drops. I don't believe I have seen either of you girls before. What is it that you need?" After reaching his office, both girls put aside hugging their old headmaster to tell him about what had happened. Ginny was the first to speak. "Professor Dumbledore, what we are about to tell you might sound completely mental, but we need you to listen until the very end. We can't even explain how important this is." After a slight nod, Hermione opened her mouth to speak.

"Ginny and I are from a little over 20 years in the future. In that time, everything has gone all wrong. Voldemort won. There was a boy, or there will be a boy that a prophecy will come into being for. It says 'The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches…born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies…and the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not…and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives…the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies…'. That boy was my best friend and Ginny's boyfriend. He died just before we got came here.

Seeing that Dumbledore was now listening even closer than before, Hermione continued on with everything that happened. "First thing you need to know is that one Halloween, Voldemort went to his parent's house in order to kill him. He didn't know that because of Harry's mother sacrificed herself, the killing curse wouldn't work. After attempting to kill him, Voldemort was destroyed. Harry was left with a scar on his forehead and was sent to live with his remaining family who were muggles and treated him horribly."

"After many years, Harry finally received his letter to attend Hogwarts. It was also during this year that I met Harry and another friend. A teacher came to the school as a new DADA teacher, but only came to retrieve the Philosopher's stone in order to help Voldemort regain his body. Luckily, Harry, Ron, and I managed to stop him, though it was mostly Harry." Hermione smiled softly at the memory. Deciding that Hermione shouldn't have to tell him the entire story by herself, Ginny began to speak.

"It was their second year when I would be starting my first here. That year had been horrible. Voldemort had a diary that had managed to get into the castle, and I was the unfortunate person who had it. He possessed me to open the Chamber of Secrets, and I was growing weaker as he was stilling my life. Luckily, Harry had managed to save me and kill the Basilisk. They wouldn't have found out that was the creature if it weren't for Hermione. Also, Hagrid was not the person who opened the Chamber, it was Tom."

"I think Hermione should tell you about her third year since she knows more about what went on then." The older girl slowly nodded then looked back at the headmaster. "That year there was an escape from Azkaban. He was sent there for a crime he didn't commit. He was thought to have betrayed Harry's parents, and his friend had also thought that. Our newest DADA teacher was friends with Harry's parents and the man thought to have turned them over to Voldemort. He was a werewolf but he was the best professor we ever had and Harry and I looked up to him." Hermione felt tears sting her eyes, but continued on with the story. "After he managed to get into the castle, Harry and I found him out at the Shrieking Shack. We managed to save him and get him away from the dementors. The true traitor had been and animagus who changed into a rat for 12 years. Something that you should know is that we understand that in this time, there was no betrayal and there could still be a chance of saving him. Those students are attending this school in their fifth year. The prisoner was Sirius Black. Our professor was Remus Lupin. The traitor was Peter Pettigrew." Hermione and Ginny watched as Dumbledore's eyes widened. "So, do you think there is still time for Peter to be helped?" "We hope so. If not, we will just have to work around him." Ginny said in a soft voice. Suddenly, Dumbledore seemed to realize something. "The only other friend those boys have is James Potter. So does that mean that the Harry child (haha hairy child.) is..." Hermione looked the wizard in the eyes and said in an almost emotionless voice, "Harry is the son of Lily and James Potter." Dumbledore could only nod as he waited for them to continue.

"Our fourth year was spent during the Tri Wizard Tournament. Someone put Harry's name into the cup and his name was pulled out. We later discovered it was someone who was very loyal to Voldemort. By the end of that year, Voldemort had been revived." Hermione decided to take a moment for the old man to let everything sink in before they continued. Ginny decided she would be the one to talk about the next year.

"In my fourth year and their fifth, our new DADA teacher was a member of the Ministry of Magic. They thought that if they didn't teach us and said that Voldemort wasn't back, that everything would be okay. That was also the year that Harry, Ron, and Hermione managed to make the DA, Dumbledore's Army." Dumbledore couldn't help but to smile along with the girls in front of him at the name. "We were teaching students how to defend themselves in the Room of Requirement. Unfortunately, we were found. Soon after, Harry had a dream where Harry saw Sirius, who was also his godfather, being killed by Voldemort. When we got there, it turned out that it was a trap. Sirius died that night just before he entered the veil." Ginny stop talking because she was afraid that her voice wouldn't work.

Holding in her tears, Hermione began to tell her former headmaster about their sixth year. "The year after that, you and Harry started searching and destroying what was keeping Voldemort from dying. He has been using horcuxes. The two of you spent the year going through memories to try and find out where he hid them and what the horcruxes were. It was after one of these trips that you…" Hermione couldn't hold in the tears and began to shake from trying to hold in her sobs. 'This is stupid. I learned to control my emotions. How pathetic.' Watching Hermione cry suddenly made Dumbledore want to hug the sad girl. Ginny decided to finish the story for her friend. "That was when you died. We later found out that he killed you under your own orders. After that, Hermione, Harry, and Ron went on the run to find the remaining horcruxes. It was also after this time that people we cared about started dying. We were on the run for seven years before we found the spell to send us back. Harry died just before we came back here. We knew we had to see you and tell you about all of this."

By the time they were finished, Dumbledore was sitting completely shocked. He looked at the girls who were both looking at him with eyes that had seen a lot of death. He knew at that moment that neither of them were lying. His lips pulled back to form into a small smile.

"Well then, since you will be staying here, I should probably help you come up with a story. How about you were being home schooled and Voldemort destroyed your home so know you will be staying here? Also, I will help if I can so I hope your mission goes well." Dumbledore felt happy when he saw for the first time true happiness shine from the girls eyes. There was still pain and sadness, but he could tell that they finally were happy, even if just for that moment. "What House were you placed in. I will be putting you in the room with the female prefect for that house."(let's say for the sake of the story, prefects have their own rooms) Ginny told the headmaster that they were both in Gryffindor. After sending the girls up to the room, Dumbledore smiled to himself. 'Those girls have a huge burden to bear, but I hope that while they are here, they can get back their happiness. I have a feeling that those girls are going to help the Marauders and those boys will return the favor, even if they don't know it.'

So? How was it? I hope this chapter was better than the last. I know this is mostly just a summery of the entire story but I needed Dumbledore to know what happened. Sorry. Hopefully next chapter will be better.
