CH 1- What have I done?

POV of Hermione...

Potions was horribly exhausting as always. I had managed to make the Confusing Concoction just right but finished it at the last moment, though I would like to state no one else had done it perfectly. I groaned thinking about the pile of homework waiting for me back at the common room. Though right now I have Ancient Runes, well.. I had ancient runes. I was about to pull the time turner out of my bag when Professor Snape called me. Oh this can't be good. Harry and Ron looked back and I waved them to go ahead.

"Miss Granger, as I have told you multiple times before, you are not to assist Mr. Longbottom or anyone for that matter during my class, and you will do well to remember that unless you fancy yourself a detention you will not speak in between class when not asked to"

"I obviously do not fancy myself a detention", I said with a sigh. Professor Snape obviously hadnt expected this response and was stumped for a few seconds before he composed himself, "Watch your tongue. Now off you go, I dont have all day discussing trivial matters with you". I was so used to his jabs by now, it was like a bickering match with Ron, and honestly that wasnt too bad. I just turned around rolled my eyes and hastily made to take out the time turner.. when my worst nightmare came true. I had been careful, I would swear on all my gods.. how could I not have, I spent hours thinking about how not to let it drop (I might have a problem).. point is, life is a backstabbing bitch. And so there I was spinning through time, the all too familiar sensation, just a thousand times scarier this time. I had no idea how far back you went with a broken time-turner. Did it depend on the velocity with which it hit the ground? The number of pieces in which it broke? Why am I thinking this right now? When will the spinning stop... and I was standing in the middle of a field full of dandelions. So I have travelled through space too.. great, just great. I should have been freaking out more but I wasnt. Somehow all this felt surreal.. dream-like though I was pretty sure it was real.

Okay, so Snape saw me, surely he will know what to do.. I hope. I should probably just stay here in case he comes back for me. Oh god, Mcgonnagal, she trusted me! Letters to the ministry.. oh what have I done. No one will ever trust me ever again. What if I change time? What if Voldy Moldy never died. The fuck did I do. They should have known, I thought with tears forming in my eyes.. they should have known I wasnt good enough for this, what were they thinking, I am 12 years old! Then again I reassured her so much, oh why am I such an idiottt! I began sobbing at this point, sinking to the ground with face in my hands. I was surely freaking out now.

Snapes POV...

The silly girl. As if I didnt have enough to deal with. I had warned Mcgonnagal how bad of an idea this was. Someone like Granger, always hyperactive. I smirked at the thought of the look on Minervas face when she found out. You know what, I am rather enjoying this. I turned around and marched straight to Dumbledores office, my cloak billowing behind me.

"Sherbet Lemon", the ugly ass gargoyle jumped aside and I climbed onto the staircase. I knocked twice and heard a faint "come in". I wonder what Dumbledore does all day in his office. Perhaps planning about hiring another ridiculous staff member. Lockhart.. seriously? When I enter he is just sitting there with a parchment and quill, his half moon spectacles dangling on his crooked nose.

"To what do I owe the pleasure Severus?". This man gets on my nerves sometimes. To what do I owe the pleasure.. oh please I am your little minion in your little game, thats what I have always been.. spare the pleasantaries. I decided to get straight to the point.

"The Granger girl broke her time turner and vanished", I said in a casual tone as if discussing the sunday weather. Showing emotions was for weaklings, not that I had any emotions on this matter.. what do I care about that brunette? For a second there I saw the calm facade of Dumbledore fall apart, it was a once in a lifetime sight and rather satisfying if I may say. Then the old man quickly composed himself and said in an admirably calm voice, "Where and when did this happen? And who were the persons present during this unfortunate event?". Cant help but respect his level-headedness during desperate situations.

"It happened about 5 minutes ago in my potions classroom and the only persons present were Miss Granger and myself"

Dumbledore nodded and started pacing, "A broken time turner can take the user back by 30 to 20 years, and the place it takes them to will be the same as the user had been or the person near the user had been at the given time"

The cogs in my brain began to work as I realised..

"Miss Granger.."

"hadnt been born yet and so she was taken to where I was at that time"

"Exactly Severus"

Despite myself, I couldnt hold in my curiosity, "What would have happened if I wasnt there?"

"Then.. Miss Granger would be at the same place as she was but back in time"

I shouldve known..it was rather simple to be honest, I kicked myself mentally. I didnt like being seen as ill-knowledged in front of anyone. It kinda messed with the scary impression I made on people, especially stupid kids which I rather enjoyed. Dumbledore was still pacing. Just then there was a knock on the door and I was shaken out of my revivre.

Oh great timing, it was Lockhart. I tried to avoid that prat as much as I could.

"Professor Dumbledore, the minister of magic is here to see you"

Well fuck.

HEYY guys, hope you liked this chapter.. pleasee review and tell me whether I should continue. Take care 3
