Turning Time

A Well Made Plan and Another break-up

When Emma walked down to the Great Hall for breakfast, Sirius offered to get her a drink.  No one was suspicious, even though he was never this abnegating, because they all knew the he had a crush on Hermione.  He used this to put the potion in her drink, and added the Arbutus fruit.  

"Here you go, I put something in it, it helps your protein levels rise."  he said, to explain the difference in colour.  

Emma noticed that it smelt a bit like Tom, but she was really tired, so she ignored it and downed it in one.  She looked up and saw Remus standing in front of her.  

She smiled. 

He smiled back. 

She blushed.

"I need to go."  She said, but it came out all strangled.

Sirius glared at them-  Hermione now liked Remus.  How could life get any worse.

---

"Draco?"  She said, walking into the boys dorm.  

"Who's Draco?"  James asked.  

"Err.. It's my nickname for Tom."

"Mmmm-hhmm.  You're still with that death eater?"

"What?!"

"He's a death eater, and he showed me his mark."

Hermione pulled out her wand and pointed it at James.  "Come with me.  Or else, I'll force you to."

"You're one aren't you?"

"That's it.  Sequime."  

Tom followed her, wordlessly out of the room.  

---

When they reached Dumbledore's office, Hermione said, "Sticky toffee pudding flavoured ice cream", went inside and knocked on Dumbledore's door.  

"Come in."

"Professor, I think it is time to tell Tom the truth about Draco and I.  He knows about Draco's dark mark." 

"Okay, James, please sit down."  James didn't move.  

"Oh yeah, Finite Incanantem"  Hermione said, taking James out of the trance.  

"AAAAHHH  GET AWAY FROM ME, YOU DEATH EATER!!!!!!"  He screamed.  

"Please, Mr. Potter, contain yourself.  

"But, she's a death eater!"

"I can assure you that she is not."

"What?  Can someone tell me what is going on?"

"I will." 

"NOT YOU!"

"Mr. Potter, I don't know her full story, so she will have to tell you."

James glared at Hermione.   

''Where should I begin?  Oh yeah, my name isn't Emma Watson.  I am Hermione Jean Granger."

"Why did you lie to us?"

"Please, leave all questions to the end.  I am Hermione Granger, and I came here with my boyfriend who is called Draco Malfoy-"

"MALFOY?!"

"-not Tom Felton.  We are from the future."

"No. That's impossible!"

"We used this time turner, which my friends charmed into going back in years."  She showed him the time turner.  "We are from 20 years ahead of your time."

"What about your Slytherin buds?"

"They are Ron Weasley and Pansy Parkinson.  The reason we came here is because your fate is extremely sad, and we are here to change that."  

"So you are not death eaters."

"Draco is.  But he has changed his ways."

"How can you know for sure?"

"Because, would a death eater date a mudblood?"  She paused, "I didn't think so.  Draco was forced into doing this, and it doesn't matter anymore because Voldemort is dead."  James visibly shuddered at the mention of his name.  

"Well, can you tell me my fate?"

"They can show you.  Come here, tonight at seven." Dumbledore interrupted.  "If anyone asks, you are seeing me."

"Okay."

"Should I bring Draco, Ron an Pansy?"

"Yes.  But, Mr.Potter, I cannot stress how utterly important it is that you don't tell anyone."

"I won't sir."

"Good.  Well, i believe you must go now."

"Yes, professor."

---

"Tom!" Hermione shouted as soon as she caught sight of him.  

"What?!"

"Come here."  she said, backing into a door that was pretending to be a wall.  

They were now in a secluded corridor.

"What is it, Mia?"

"I'm breaking up with you."

"WHAT?!"

"i like someone else, so I'm going to try and be with him."

"No."  He pressed his lips to hers, feeling the electricity running through his veins, but she pushed him away.  

"No.  Don't.  Just Leave.  We are OVER."

"But-"

"Get out."  

He walked out in defeat.  Now, Hermione smiled, taking a shortcut to the Gryffindor common room. 

What?  She needed to look pretty if she was to see Remus tonight.  

A/N  Hey guys!!  I'm sorry, but I alway imagine Brian Holden as Remus.  

Also, I'll try and get more Ransy in the next chapter.  

It's a bit short, but I have a bit of a writer's block- it just kept dragging on...
