Hailey Potter: Only Time Will Tell (Fem!Harry & Time Travel)

1//~Moomy!~

Hailey James Potter was standing in the all too familiar Forbidden Forest with Kingsley Shacklebolt (The Minister of Magic), Ronald Weasley, and Hermione Granger (Hailey's two best friends) with a very large and bulky time turner around her neck.

The time turner was discovered in a former death eater's house during a very successful raid. Kingsley had thankfully been present at the raid and took the time-turner into his custody. After a lot of research and a lot of help from the Unspeakables, they had come to the conclusion that this time-turner was very unique indeed. It contained the perfect mixture of Moonstone and Time Sand. 

This weird combination was actually quite beneficial as it didn't work as the other time-turners. This one could go back years, and there wouldn't be a past and a future self. It would just be the one who traveled back in time. Hailey would be able to go as far as twenty years because that was how old she was. She couldn't go into the time before she was born and stop Voldemort altogether, it would be too dangerous and disruptive. The only problem was that she wouldn't be able to come back if things didn't work out. She would have to move along with that time.

It would mean that she could potentially have to face losing all of her loved ones all over again and there was really no way she could go through that again but she just had to give it a try or else she knew she would regret it her whole life.

"Ready?" Kingsley asked the nervous Hailey.

"I could do it instead, Hailey. I have more experience with time turners and-" Mason tried for the sixth time that day. He had been trying to convince Hailey ever since they first thought of the plan about a year ago. 

Even Ron had tried a few times but really, he had absolutely no experience with time-turners and couldn't come up with many excuses as to why he should replace her.

"No, it has to be me," Hailey said firmly. Despite the fact that this time turner was a lot safer than normal ones, it was still dangerous and Hailey wouldn't let anyone, not even a fly die for her anymore. She tucked the sock inside her pocket. Mason had fixed the sock with an undetectable extension charm when they were on a run and after a little bit of tweaking, the sock was almost better than the ones found at average wizarding stores. 

They all, even Ron, had done so much research before even considering the plan for real. Mason had dug through all the old records at the ministry with the help of Kingsley to find out where the death eater camps were caught when people died and etc.

The sock bag contained letters that were to be sent as mysterious tip-offs to Order members. Other than that, the bag contained Hailey's current wand, her Invisibility cloak, the Marauder's map, some money, a de-aging potion, and an outline of their plans. As soon as she was transported back in time, she would drop off the letters at the Owl Post Office before taking her de-aging potion and turning herself into a baby. Ron, Mason, and Kingsley would then take potions to wipe out the whole scene from their memories. Only Hailey, assuming she survived would remember she had traveled back in time.

"Only 20 turns, Remember," Kingsley warned for the 3rd time.

"Yes, only 20," Hailey replied a little annoyed.

"Are you ready?" Ron asked. He really didn't want his best friend to take such a risk, he would jump at the chance to go instead of her but really how could he possibly protect her parents from the Burrow, and really it was Hailey that needed this chance to have a life with her parents and everybody she loved.

"Ready as I'll ever be," Hailey replied.

"We'll miss you, Hailey," Hermione said giving her a warm hug.

"See you in another time," Ron said grinning although there were tears threatening to fall.

Hailey quickly turned the time-turner twenty times as she didn't have the courage to look at her best friends' faces. She knew it would only make it harder to say goodbye.
