Saving Him/Fred Weasley

« 1995 »

"How many turns you reckon we should give it?" Hermione asked the blue eyed girl, Sara thought for a moment.

"I'm not sure, we don't really know how long it will take us to the past with every turn"

Sara, Hermione and Fred found themselves on Sara's bedroom, well Fred and Sara's bedroom, at six thirty on a Tuesday afternoon in the last day of March, they didn't think that they should use the time turner anywhere else, seeming as George was still at the shop and he wasn't going to close for at least an hour more.

"I reckon it should be four turns" Fred told the brunette.

"Why?" she asked him, and Hermione looked at her weirdly "Fred" she told her pointing to her right, explaining that the redhead had said something to her.

"Because who cares, we have to figure out how it works, so let's just try it with an any number" he said smiling, Sara smiled back, leave it to Fred to take out the seriousness of a situation.

"Fred says he thinks we should just try it with any number of turns, he reckons four" Sara said to Hermione, and the bushy hair girl sighed.

"He's probably right, we've got to figure out how this works so any number should do it"

"I think that's the first time ever that she agrees with me" Fred said smirking and Sara chuckled. Hermione gave her a look.

"Alright, it is so weird when you talk to him, really" Sara smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, I can't ignore him either"

"I suppose, alright let's do it" Hermione said standing up from the bed "Get up" she told Sara, and the brunette obliged. Hermione put the time turner around her head as a necklace, then she took the string and passed it over Sara's head too, leaving the device hanging between them. "Alright, here we go" she said and turned the time turner four turns backwards.

"Good luck" Fred said to Sara smiling "Be careful"

Sara and Hermione saw as the time passed in reverse, and suddenly when it stopped, Sara found herself alone in a corridor in Hogwarts.

"What the...?"

"Miss García, care to explain why you are not in class?" Sara froze, she knew that monotone voice too well, she turned around and as she expected it, she was faced with Severus Snape "Well?" he said raising an eyebrow.

"Um, I... I have a free period professor" she lied, and Snape looked at her suspiciously.

"Very well, 15 points from Hufflepuff for wandering the corridors and 15 more for wearing inappropriate attire during school hours" he said and kept walking towards the Great Hall. Sara looked down at her clothes, of course, she wasn't wearing her robes.

"What the actual fuck" Sara whispered to herself "What year is this? And where is Hermione?"

Sighing she began walking through the corridors to the Gryffindor common room, she figured Hermione could be there, but why had they separated when arriving? Oh god, maybe she wasn't even in Hogwarts. She kept walking up the stairs, when suddenly she looked out the window when a big boat on the Black Lake caught her attention.

"Oh Merlin"

She turned around and began running down towards the Hufflepuff common room, if this was the year, she thought it was, then she had to see him. As she kept running, she passed outside the library, so she stopped and went inside, maybe he was there, that year he spent an awfully lot of time in that room. Looking around furiously, Sara spotted many people she knew, Hermione from that year was there in her school robes, alongside Harry and Ron. At a fast pace, she looked around the library, going behind the shelves and peeking into the restricted section, but he wasn't there. Turning around, she ran outside the room not without hearing a complaint from Madam Pince, and kept running towards the common room near the kitchens. Once she was outside of it, she tapped on the barrels and got inside, looking around the Hufflepuff common room, she couldn't find him but spotted Tom Relish.
