Slowly she walked up to the gargoyle.'Now what?Sugarplums? Swirled twirls? hmm how about something simple, Chocolate frogs?' The gargoyle soon twisted from its place to reveal stairs, and Hermione made her way to the top of the staircase not surewhat would be at the top to meet her. Before lomg she reached the old dark door which seemed ever the more intimidating to hermione.

The silence was defeaning.Hermione was shaking,What was gong to happen to her, the one who dared to play with time.

"Hello?" a voice croaked "Come in." Hermione slowly entered the large room. Everything looked so much bigger and menacing, but then, on the large chair behind the desk, she saw something that calmed her nerves considerably.

"Dumbledore?"she asked.

"Yes. Who are you and how do you know of the entrance to my office" She could now see his face, he looked younger, much younger. How far had she truly gone back in time?

"Um Hello Sir, I am Hermione Granger. Sorry before you ask me any questions may I ask you one?"

"Yes, I suppose, What would you like to know?"

"This may sound a bit strange, but what year is it?"

"It is 1977, young lady why do you ask?" 'Oh my' Hermione thought. '21 whole years. But of course i cannot tell him im from the future that would ruin it all, well at least more than it is already.'

" I um... hit my head and I think I got a little um, muddled. Sorry" Hermione stuttered with a worried expression

"Oh of course, the hallways can be so dark at night, I only hope you can think more clearly now. In fact may I ask you some questions now?"

"Sure, I am guessing you would like to know why I'm here..."I really dont want to lie to dumbledore"you see my parents aren't here anymore and now I have nowhere to go, and i know this is a great place and you would , hopefully, take me in?"Hermione said slightly pleased she did not have to lie to the man who seemed to only speak truths

"Oh i see, im sorry for your loss" Hermione tried to look a little sad"This is also an extremely unusual occurance and has indeed not happened before, though i do not understand how you located it with out help on hand. But i will be happy to add you into our school, as you have nowhere alse to go. Sorry, what year are you in"

"Thank-you Sir, I'm in year 7"

"Well we shall have to sort you at tomorrow's"he glanced at the clock", tonight's dinner. You may sleep in the spare quarters ,through that door, for the remainder of tonight and then I shall give you permission to go to Hogsmead, the local village to collect clothes and books, which you seem to be lacking. But at this moment I am rather tired and as do you seem, goodnight "" Goodnight and Thankyou" she whispered the tiredness slowly taking her over.
