Ch. 5: Trick or Treat

I took a deep breath and adjusted the magical ornament under my shirt, making sure no one could possibly see it. I kind of felt a little dangerous with it, like I could could back in time and kill Hitler if I wanted. 

Arching a brow, I turned to Hermione before opening the Great Hall doors so we could enter for dinner. "Hermione - has any one ever tried to kill Hitler with a time turner?" 

Hermione scowled at me, making a shushing noise and scanned the halls, making sure no one was listening. Dumbledore and Fred had walked into the Great Hall while McGonagall was breaking the law with me and 'Mione. I smirked at how awesome that sounded. Professor McGonagall - breaking the law.

"Look, Elle." Hermione placed her hands on my shoulders and peered deeply into my eyes - being sure to enforce her sisterly bond through intelligent advise. "You must not use that device for anything other than school. I don't know what other people have done - the Ministry likes to keep these things top secret. All I know is, this is dangerous business - people who time travel put not only themselves, but others they know at risk. Stay cautious of what you do."

Sighing, I nodded and turned away from her pleading eyes. "Okay - I won't kill Hitler." I whined a little, only joking. I mean, sure I was good with a lamp, but I didn't stand a chance against Hitler. I grinned a little, remembering I had magic, I didn't need a lamp.

     Hermione glared at me, watching the grin spread onto my face. "Promise me."

     "Promis-? Hermione, I'm only joking!" 

      She stuck her nose in the air and shot me a cool look, something an older sibling would do. It reminded me that I still had to ask which one of us was born first. "Than you can promise."

Rolling my eyes, I stuck my hand up in the air. "I, Elizabeth Rose Granger, promise not to assassinate Adolf Hitler." Hermione smiled a little, nodding in approval, then opened the door to the Great Hall were everyone was chattering amongst themselves, excited for the upcoming holiday.

In my imagination, I had pictured the Hall getting deadly quiet as I walked in - all eyes on me; but that wasn't the case. In reality the Great Hall got louder, the whole Gryffindor table's eyes on mine while the rest of the room desperately attempted to avoid my gaze. 

"Tough crowd." I murmured under my breath, name begun circulating through the crowds with a buzz. Let the rumors begin. Some cynical part of me wanted to yell: "I'm pregnant." to feed their ridiculous rumors. 

Walking up to the Gryffindor table, I spread my arms out wide with a grin. "I'm home." I greeted them all. A lot of them gave me weird looks, but only the ones I didn't know. The middle section of the table erupted in cheers and I was tackled in a hug. 

Slightly taken a back, I looked down at the one who's attacked me, surprised it wasn't Blake but Ginny. "You missed me, huh?" I smiled lightly and hugged her back, she'd gotten even taller to my dismay. If she grew any more, she would be taller than I. Weasleys.

     Ginny grinned with a happy nod. Her eyes danced across my face as she stepped back and tossed her long auburn hair over her shoulder with a puffed-up pride. "Yes, it's been boring without you all."
