Draco and Hermione landed on rocky, wet and very hard ground. Hermione quickly sat up and looked around at their surroundings. Draco sat up shortly after he heard her squeal. They were back at Hogwarts!
"Is it the right decade?" Draco asked her.
"I'm not entirely sure but I can't see anything unusual. Let's go check it out." Hermione stood up woozily and getting herself together she took a few steps towards the castle. Draco quickly followed after her.
Draco and Hermione turned into the Great Hall after not seeing anyone on their way there.
"Harry, RON!" Hermione's bushy hair was the first thing they saw before she collided with them.
"Mione! You're back. Thank God we thought something awful happened to you. Like Malfoy did something or the time turner was a portkey or you could have run into a past Tom Riddle," Harry gabbled.
"Hi." Was all Ron said. Hermione was about to recite her tale of adventure to the duo when she felt a tap on her arm. Draco turned his head and motioned her to follow him. Knowing something was wrong she did as he wanted.
"Bye guys, talk to you later."
"HERMIONE WHY THE HELL ARE YOU FOLLOWING MALFOY!? COOMMEE BAAACK!"
She heard Ron's miserable and pouty voice echo off the walls of the hall. She rolled her eyes and ran to catch up with the retreating figure of Malfoy.
"What's wrong, Malfoy?" Hermione breathed quietly.
"Don't you think it's strange? That we get the stuffed up time turner and that they didn't check them before they gave them to us?" He said quickly and sharply.
"So we go talk to McGonagall? Or Dumbledore's portrait?" Hermione asked seriously as they rounded the corner to be face-to-face with the stone gargoyle.
"I say McGonagall." Draco said abruptly.
"Alright then. Erm do you know the password?" Hermione asked tentatively as they stood in front of the gargoyle, which was not moving.
"No." Draco sighed as he brought out a square of parchment and a muggle quill. "Let's write down all the possibilities."
Guys instead of reviews: guess the password or what you think it is as a review ;) 7 guesses and I'll submit a new chapter and I promise it'll be long. Clue: The password is less than 3 words.
