Chapter 2: An inevitable destiny
She then transplanted to Godric's hollow and soon realized that it was Halloween on the evening of the death of Harry's parents, she hoped for one thing: to arrive in time to save everyone. Unfortunately, when she arrived in front of the house all she saw was Sirius Black, kneeling on the ground weeping his friends. Hagrid, just behind him, held Harry in his arms and picked up the bike Sirius had just offered him, then flying to his meeting point with Professor Dumbledore. Not knowing how much time he had left before the muggle and magic world police intervened, Hermione snuck at Sirius before he even had time to think of leaving in search of Peter.
"Sorry Mr. Black, as strange as it may seem I know what happened, who's the culprit ... "but Sirius interrupted her.
"Everybody knows who the culprit is, there is no need to be a sight for that mademoiselle!"
He had almost screamed with still tears streaming down his face.
"Listen, I do not have time to explain everything I know, but if you do not follow me now and do what I think, that is, try to find Peter Pettigrew, you will end up in Azkaban without even being able to avenge your friends, how your godson can be protected?"
Sirius looked at her in awe as the young woman had just told her, "How the devil could she know so much?" But also by the insurance of which she was part despite its obvious panic in front of the events! She seemed to be close to her age in her twenties, but she had the look of a woman who had already lived so long and lost. This thought saddened him, in spite of the beauty that the young woman possessed, it seemed that she had not had to smile for a long time. He stood up and wiped his face, without looking away from the young woman he nodded, after all, he could take care of Peter later and make him regret his betrayal!
She then took his hand and teleported in front of Grimmauld Square, he looked at her open-mouthed "But how can she know this place?" He then walked past her, entered the apartment and closed behind the girl. He did not know what to do and even if he had trusted her, and yet a simple glance was enough to want to believe her! He went to get himself a drink, making a sign to the one who was following him to sit down. She obeyed and said to herself that it was better for her to begin the conversation by herself, for the poor man certainly did not know where he was!
"I can't tell you my name, I know it's going to be hard to believe but I'm coming from the future and I'm a friend of Harry. Lord Voldemort has come back more alive than ever in our time and even if Harry eventually beat him, many have died: sorcerers as Muggles."
"But how did you come back in the past? Why did not you save Lily and James? Why did you come to see me? What can we change?" Too many questions swirled in Sirius' head at that moment.
"Then in order: I went through a sort of portal to come here, when I saw the date whit a newspaper I rushed to the Potter hoping to save them but in vain" She hesitated a few seconds before continuing. "If I came to you it was because if you had stayed at your idea you would have ended up in Azkaban: Peter making everyone believe that you are the traitor. Your last question I think about it still, believe me, I advance one step at a time."
"I am going to inform the Order of what you have just told me, that you know what camp I am in, I would never have betrayed my friends! I will have to introduce you also so you will need a name, even invented to simplify things. Oh and one last thing: a version of you must be born at that time no? Could not it create problems?"
"Yes, the best thing to do is to join the Order, you will only have to introduce me as Olivia Wilkins that should go. I do not know what effects my presence may have in a world where there is already another me."
They looked at each other for a moment and then Sirius stood up and sent his Patronus to the members of the order to arrange an urgent meeting. All of them arrived one by one, Hermione recognized several of them: Albus Dumbledore, of course, Hagrid, Mundungus Fletcher, Remus Lupin and even Alice and Frank Longbottom. "I must also save them," she told herself, following Dumbledore closely, Severus Snape had joined them when he realized that his Master would take Lily Potter and was now their spy. She then stood back listening to their remarks here and there when Sirius first explained who was the real traitor and how he arrived too late to save his friends.
Dumbledore reassured the assembly a little sadly now by exposing the fact that Harry was safe now and that he would be lifted away from all the celebrity implied by his situation. All eyes then turned on the young woman, before she had time to say a word Sirius presented her to the crowd as agreed in Olivia, he specified that she came from the future and that she had avoided him Azkaban. Dumbledore then gave her a smile of thanks, then she stood up and explained as she could about certain events that it was better to change for a better future ahead of them while specifying that she had to abstain from certain things for the good of all.
Thus, for nearly two hours, Hermione spoke of the unpleasant future of the Longbottoms, of the imprisonment for 13 years of Sirius which should have taken place, of the secret but indispensable help of Severus Snape, the events taking place during his schooling at Hogwarts: the Basilisk, the philosopher's stone, the Triwizard cup and finally the Horcruxes. Everyone seemed horrified by this last word and all understood that the "death" of the Dark Lord was then only temporary. It would be necessary to act and Sirius made ample notice that Hermione (Olivia for him), would be an ally of the most useful in this war that could be avoided and that it would already entrust to him his own life, after all, it had already spared him much pain.
The young woman gasped at such words and became as red as the seat in which she sat. She then realized that she was going to have to resume the hunt for the Horcrux and that her life, tempted to survive, would not be quiet any time soon. She sighed a good blow, took her face in her hands, she was already very tired by her last months of cavalry and the battle had worn it all the more, it had to do 48 hours she had not closed and did not feel when unconsciousness gained it. Waking up a few hours later, she discovered that Sirius was there just like Dumbledore, and they explained to her that she had simply fainted under fatigue and had taken the opportunity to take care of the few wounds on her body. Reflexively she took her arm where sometime earlier Bellatrix had written a note that disgusted Hermione.
"Do not worry, Miss Wilkins, it will eventually heal even though I think there will always be a mark for that one," said Dumbledore, pointing to the young woman's arm with a look of comfort.
"Thank you for your help and your care, I admit that some time ago I should have rest but precisely, time, I had none! Oh and call me Olivia or Liv even please." Smiling faintly at Hermione trying to get her new name.
"Liv? Very well I should be able to hold him back!" Sirius sniggered. "I can never thank you enough to have saved me so you'll have me by your side until I pay my debt!"
It was a shared laugh that Hermione fell asleep and said that she would need strength to face the rest!
