Tremendous Sacrifice

Chapter 2

Right then the door flew open and there stood Voldemort and a few death eaters. I grabbed Ginny and Luna and spun the time-turner. We just missed the green light that passed through us. We just made it. We landed with a thump. I looked around and saw Ginny and Luna right next to me. We were right in front of Hogwarts. I grinned and all three of us got up and walked up to the castle entrance. Right there Dumbledore opened the doors and looked at us surprised.

"Well, isn't this a surprise. I was sitting at my desk in my office and I saw you three fall right out of the sky. How can I help you?" Dumbledore asked.

"You can help us a lot Dumbledore. Is there somewhere private that we can talk?" I asked.

"Of course. Follow me." He said guiding us to his office.

The school was so quiet. It was like no one was here at all. I looked at Ginny confused.

"Sir, what year is it?" Ginny asked.

"It's 1977." He answered.

I smiled to Ginny and Luna. We did it. We made it to the right time. Now our plan can start. I knew that I would be the one to give most of the information because I was the one that was effected by it all. Ginny and Luna would be there to help me out. This was going to be a big step. But we were here and ready to start.

"Where are the students?" Luna asked.

"School has not started yet. The students will be here tomorrow night." Dumbledore shared.

We entered the office and he conjured up two more chairs. We sat across form him and no one said anything at first. I sighed and spoke up,

"Let us introduce ourselves. I am Hermione Granger, this is Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood. We are from the future."

"Well, now isn't that something. I thought I would never have to use it." Dumbledore said a little upset.

"You trusted me in your secret plan. I was best friends with the chosen one that would kill Voldemort but things went horribly wrong and the dark side won. My friends and I have been on the run ever since the war. We are the only light side left that is willing to fight. We are here to change everything so none of that will happen and so that my best friend will have the life he deserves." I explained.

"Well, girls what you are doing is brave and I am honored that I choose you to do it. You three have sacrificed everything to do this. You do know that?" He asked.

"Yes sir, we know that we are giving up everything but there is nothing in our world left for us. Everyone we love and care for is dead or a prisoner of Voldemort. There is no more light in the world." Ginny explained trying to hold back the tears.

I took her hand and squeezed it. I looked up to Dumbledore and said,

"You need to understand sir, is that these two girls sitting beside me have been through a lot and I would not have asked for better friends to do this with. I have seen so much since my first year of school that I know that this is what we were meant to do. It's up to us to change everything." I stated.

Dumbledore nodded and said,

"Then let's start by you all getting enrolled here at Hogwarts. What years would you be in?"

"Well, sir I should have been a seventh year and these two were six years when the war broke out. But they are ready and able to be a seventh year with me. I know that for a fact." I explained to him.

He nodded and told us to get some rest for tomorrow. We would be sorted with the first years to see what house we would be in. We all nodded and I told Ginny and Luna to go ahead. They gave me worried looks but I had to talk to Dumbledore about something serious for myself.

"Yes, Miss Granger?" Dumbledore asked.

"Well, I was wondering if the Order is already in progress sir?" I asked.

He looked at me strange. Like I had a third eye or something. Then I remembered that he did not like students be part of the Order until they graduate.

I sighed and said,

"I know that you think I shouldn't join. But I was part of the Order in my time and I am of age already. I believe that I have a right to join."

"What about the other two?" He asked.

"Ginny and Luna will not agree with me but I will take care of that in a minute. I want them to worry about their part of the plan here at Hogwarts. I have much bigger things to worry about and that all deals with the Order sir."

Dumbledore did not know what to say. You could see in his eyes that he was trying to figure out what to do about this situation. I knew that he would need time to think about it. I smiled to him and said,

"Sir, you can think about it. If you come and get me for your next meeting, then I know that you trust me to help with it. But if you don't I understand as well."

I walked out of the office and went to find Ginny and Luna. I had to explain to them that they would not be joining the Order until they graduate. I sighed and started to think about what I was going to say. Ginny ran up to me and asked,

"What was that about? What did you have to talk to Dumbledore about without us there?"

"It's about the Order." I started.

"Oh yeah, we have to figure out if we can join." Luna stated.

"Luna, Gins... I need to talk to you. So, I think that you shouldn't join the Order. But first hear me out, before you start freaking out on me." I started because you could see in their faces that they were ready to yell at me. "We all know that we each will have a different part of the plan. I think that you two should have more of the plan here at Hogwarts instead with the Order. Ginny, Luna you two know this school much more than me because of you protecting the student during my year on the run. I have knowledge on the real world and that stuff more than you two. So what do you think? I won't agree to it unless you two are on board."

Ginny looked at Luna and sighed,

"You know that we can't argue when you give us the facts like that. But we still don't like it. But I know for a fact that you can help out in the Order much more than here. So Luna and I are on board."

"Yeah, but you be careful and if you need any of our help than you will ask." Luna added.

"Of course I will. Same goes to you. But there will be a few things that we will deal with together. But for now our biggest mission is facing people that we know and watched die tomorrow." I stated with a heavy sigh.
