The Final Dimension (Book 3)

The Time Turner Heist: Part 2

Ginny POV
'Hermione'
'Yeah?'
'What happened?'
'Huh?'

Ginny wasn't sure that Hermione was even listening.

'What happened with you and Ron in that room?'
'Huh nothing... Just you could say I am angry with Ron and have every right to be.'

'I want answers.'
'But you aren't getting any. Now come on, we are getting late.'
Hermione apparated away without looking back.

Ginny exchanged a puzzled look with Luna.
'Nargles' muttered Luna.
'Loads of them' replied ginny and the two of them apparated following Hermione.

Hermione POV
They had a blast.

Hermione had known how to enter the whomping willow through the shrieking shack due to her past adventures but the hard part came with the whomping willow...

Her bleeding arm was distracting her in thinking out the plan. And she had not only that in her mind but... Draco.

She had told him what to do but was still worried...
But Hermione knew she couldn't get distracted even if it was Draco.

She knew that Dumbledore had a special time turner... a multi-use one. It was their only hope. They had to do this.

They had to reach Dumbledore's office so that no one saw them.
There were no students as the school had been closed for a while. Some time to enjoy the end of the war.
***
Finally. Finally, they had reached Dumbledore's office.
'Fizzing whisbees' said Hermione.

No change. A sudden realisation sinked in. Dumbledore had changed the password...
***
'Sherbet Lemon' Hermione tried for the third time.
Ginny sighed.

'You missed one of them- Cockroach cluster' said Luna dreamily.
Hermione tried it.
No change.

'Guys we are trying for five whole minutes. Somebody's gonna come this way sooner or later.' said ginny.

'There's another one.' said Luna dreamily.
'What?' asked Hermione and Ginny in unison.

'Acid Pops'
Fortunately for them Luna was right.
'Excellent, Luna.' said Hermione.

The three of them saw the empty vast room. They knew that the time turner could be hidden in any of the corner.
The three nodded at each other then started the long search.

Harry Pov
'Was it accidental? The time travel?'

'None of your business.' said Neville.

'Yes it was.' said harry ignoring Neville.

Dumbledore hadn't seen harry behind Ron and Neville yet.

There were a few moments of silence.

Dumbledore's eyes twinkled.
'Harry... Care to explain? How you are alive in the future?'

'And it yet again surprises me that how are the brothers together??' continued Dumbledore.

'Both answers, are quite simple.
Of course, we are together, we are damn brothers and harry is alive since he's the immortal lord of sass' said Neville as a matter of fact.

'The time for jokes is over. I don't give a damn wherever you came from. I have an offer for you harry- come with me. I can put up a convincing story on how you're alive.'

'Hey old man, you think we will take your offer. Never. No. No means no-'

'Calm down Neville' said Harry.

'Are you sure?' asked Dumbledore, his eyes gleaming.
'I can give you something. Something which will change your decision completely.'

'Our decision is fi-' Harry stopped in his tracks.
Dumbledore brought out something from his pocket.

There it was.
Like it had always been there.
The time turner.
