The Golden Trip

Chapter 5

The light slowly started to come back into my vision. I was lying on a couch and I lifted my head up. There were the Weasley Twin's. One with the ear, one without. "What?" I whispered, blinking. 

"Hey Granger," George said softly. "Guess who's here?"

"NO!" I exclaimed jumping up. They jumped back, startled. "You can not be alive at this age. We saw the wall. You stopped breathing! You died! The room probably conjured you up! You're not alive! YOU'RE NOT REAL!" I was breathing heavy. Tears started to come to my eyes. I was finally having my break down. Harry and Ron already had theirs. I just had small ones.

"You made me have extra nightmares. Waking up at night and throwing up! Being tortured, get scarred! Those made me scream so loudly my throat hurt for a week! All of the fighting nightmares make me sick! And you made them worse! Because I ruined my second family! It's my fault Molly cries at night! George is just starting to get back to normal! Ron misses you like crazy! Ginny needs her big brother back! Percy never said 'I'm sorry!' Bill and Charlie barely see you and now they'll never see you again!

Because of me your family is broken! If I didn't kiss Ron you wouldn't have died! If you waited just a minute longer, you would be alive! It's all my fault! I RUINED YOUR FAMILY! I ruined my life. I BROKE MYSELF! MY PARENTS ARE DEAD! Would you like to know why?" I waited a second. "BECAUSE OF ME! IT'S ALL MY FAULT! YOUR FAMILY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN AND NEITHER WILL I! Because of me," I sniffed, and brushed away some tears on my cheeks. "All cause of me." I whispered. I turned quickly. I grabbed the map, left the cloak for them, and ran as far as I could.

My footsteps echoed through the hallway. No one was around though. I raced up the stone steps and came to a tower. It was the Astronomy Tower.

"Severus...please..."

"NO!" I shouted. I covered my ears and closed my eyes.

"Kill me then. Kill me like you killed him, you coward-"

"No! Stop!" I was crouched down on my knees.

"DON'T-CALL ME COWARD!"

"Severus..."

"GRANGER!"

"AVADA KEDAVRA!"

"'And it hit him right in the chest...Then he fell..To his death."

"GRANGER! GET UP!"

I'm yanked up hard until I'm dangling in the air. One of the twin's is holding my forearm. I hiss at the pain, and he switches to the other arm. "What is wrong with you?!" He shouts. "You almost fell off the tower!" He lets go of my arm. I turn to face him. Both of them are there.

"I've lived through worse! At least it would have been a quick and easy death!" I snap at him crossing my arms. "Now, go back to the Room of Requirement." I walk past them fuming. They reluctantly follow as I place the cloak over us. I hear some mumblings from behind me, but I don't bother to turn my head. I rub my forearm again, and we reach the Room of Requirement. I pull open the door and we go inside. One of them pulls of the cloak that they handed me. I take it back. I look at both of them. It is definitely Fred and George. I place the cloak in my back pocket as well as the map. I swallow nervously and start to walk around the room for no reason what so ever.

"Watcha doin' Granger?" I think George says. I ignore him. As I pass one of the cabinets near the fireplace, I stop. I once hid something in there because no one could open it. I slowly pull it open with a loud CREAK. In the far corner is a shimmering gold necklace. After I pull it out, I notice a piece of paper as well. I take that out and close the cabinet. The necklace is a shiny gold, with a simple star as the pendant. The paper, however, is old. It has yellowing edges and handwriting that has become faint. The paper also is small, like a sticky note. It has some folds in it.

My dear Hermione,

I realize what the war has done. It has destroyed so many families and wizards and witches. I also know that this is by no fault of yours, but mine. An old man makes numerous mistakes, I just wish I could have fixed this one. I am leaving you now, my dear, with a choice. Ignore the necklace and put it back in the cabinet;or, keep it. This paper will disappear if you put it back. If you do, I understand. This is an important favor that you might not want to do.

I look up from the paper to make sure George and Fred are still there. What is the necklace? Who wrote this? And how did I get it? I read it again. A favor. An important one. Do I want to get myself into trouble again? But this person wouldn't have wrote this without a purpose, a significant one. I sigh, and look down at the paper. Nothing appears. Confused, I look back up at the cabinet and attempt to close it again if I didn't close it all the way. It's closed. As my hand leaves the cabinet, a dink sounds from it and the paper heats up. I look at it again. It finished writing!

Thank you so much Hermione. I promise you will not be disappointed. You have the chance to fix a broken family that means much to you. The Weasley's. Fred Weasley, to be precise. Right now, if I'm correct, you are in 1977. You are currently standing in the Come-and-Go Room with the sacred Weasley Twin's. Both of them. Fred has not come back-not yet. You are able to use this necklace. It is a hidden time turner. When you and George touch it, it will bring you back to May 2, the final war. The final battle. But first, you may be brought to a 'time change.' This could be a place in time where you can change the outcome of something, such as saving someone. You will be brought to the closet one in history. Then, the final war.Find Fred. Get him and Percy Weasley out of the way. As soon as you do that you will be brought to a 'safe haven.' Or, a 'time space.' This will be when you and George will be integrated back into your timeline. Harry and Ron wouldn't have gone back in time;you and George wouldn't have either.

Please Hermione. Use this chance to save a family. Fix one of my mistakes. With George, you must wait until Halloween. On Halloween, you go to the Astronomy Tower. Each have a hand on the necklace and lift it up to the sky. At midnight, 12;00 PM, of the 31st, the necklace will convert into a timeturner. It will immediately start spinning-don't move. After a minute, you will disappear, bringing Harry and Ron with you. They won't know it. Now, you will be moving through time. Harry and Ron will be waiting at the 'time space.' Once you finish saving Fred, you'll be brought there as well. Harry and Ron won't remember a thing. Only you and George.

Be safe, and only change that. If you change anything else, you could potentially damage the outcome of the war. Time is precious to you. Nothing good comes out of meddling with time. Be safe, and fix an old man's mistake.

Sincerely,

Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore

:) I'm back! So, I making the chapters shorter, probably 1,000-1,500 words. Good? Good. 

Also, I wrote this like a year ago and it took me awhile to finish cause I wrote by myself. But, to be fair, I love rereading it. 

So, I'm going to start dedicating chapters I think. Taze-Moony-Krone added this to her reading list, and it actually mad me happy that people like this story. Thank you!!! 

Alsooo little self-promo, but check out my two other stories! A Life not Lived (it's this Ninjago series, so if you don't like it, no worries), and Stars. Stars is not a fanfiction of anything. It's this story about a girl, Nova. But I'm not saying anything else! If you want, go check it out!

Bye guys!! Have a great rest of the day!! -E :)
