Disclaimer: Same as before.

Recap: Hermione and Draco have been sent back in time because of a mistake in potions. Salem Witch Trials are where they are and Emily and Richard are their names. The two have found a house with a magical time travel book that they believe will help them get back. But as usual it isn't all fun and games. Ana, Emily's cousin has been causing trouble in the way of coming on to Draco. Hermione walked in on them, arguing happened and Hermione storming off.

In the mean time back at Hogwarts Ginny and Blaise are together after having to find out how to get the two back. They find that a blood relative is needed from both people in order to have them return. Obviously, Draco's parents would never agree to work with muggles.

Hermione went to the house and looked at the book but suddenly someone appeared and knocked her out. Draco had followed her and saw the figure. Once Hermione woke up, they started arguing again. Draco kissed Hermione. They fight, Hermione storms off. She has a creepy dream, with her and Draco being a couple being chased after.

The day of the wedding finally arrived. The mysterious woman appeared again to wear Hermione, but she didn't get the message fast enough. Ana and Ann Putnam Jr. accursed Hermione of cursing them and therefore was arrested but not before giving her wand to Draco.

Here we go, chapter eleven. If you hate me for the long wait, I'm really sorry. I'm just a lazy ass. :D

Chapter 11:Jail Time

The jail was cold and dark and didn't seem that different from what she had imagined it would be like during this time. It was a little one-person jail cell with only a bench, which Hermione guessed was supposed to double as a bed. The bars were rusted and looked easy to break through if she needed to do so.

"I guess they're not overly worried about escapees," she muttered.

Hermione stood up against the bars and looked out into the open, freedom of the rest of the Puritan world. Well, if you could actually call living in fear of your neighbor turning you in for being a 'witch' freedom.

Draco had been correct in thinking to take her wand from here, because as soon as the men had brought her to the jail, she had been searched -- and rather roughly at that.

"Hello, is anybody there?" she called out from the tiny cell. "Do I as least get something to drink if you're going to keep me here unjustly?"

Seconds later, a young man of medium height, probably only a few years older than herself appeared outside the door.

"You will get meals twice a day and no more than that," the man said.

"What's your name?" Hermione asked. She figured she could try to sweet-talk her way to better treatment if she would not be able to get out anytime soon.

"That's of no concern to you," the man stated flatly. Hermione debated whether to flirt with the bloke or just act normally. She decided on the latter.

"Mine's Her…EMILY," Hermione held out her hand, wincing at her slip-up.

"Heremily? It says here your name's Emily," he said in confusion.

"It is," she squeaked. Her little slip-up could have potentially lost her her life.

Ryan just hmm'd and looked at her suspiciously. "I'm Ryan, by the way."

"What's going to happen to me?" she asked.

"You will go to trial, and if you are found guilty, you will be sentenced to death," he stated flatly.

She gulped, fearing that she would never see her parents, Harry or Ron ever again. Damn Draco, this is all his fault, she thought.

"But I didn't do anything wrong!" exclaimed Hermione, suddenly bursting with a mixture of rage and frustration.

"Right," he said, disbelief evident in his tome

"I was outside getting some fresh air when the girls were attacked," she was trying to plead with him for sympathy, hoping that he would help her get out. If only she had her wand.

"Why would I attack Ana? She's my cousin, my blood. Why would I hurt her?" continued Hermione, not necessarily talking to Ryan anymore.

"It's happened before," he said, his expression unchanging.

"But I'm not like that," she stressed. "I wouldn't hurt a fly. I just want to get home, out of this town and be with my friends. I don't belong here."

Now Ryan's interest was piqued. "This is your home, isn't it?" he questioned.

"What?" Hermione asked. She was so worked up she didn't even realize what she was saying.

"You said you wanted to go home. This is your home, isn't it?" he repeated.

"Um… yeah. It is. I don't know what I'm saying. I'm so stressed out about this. I don't want to die. I'm still young and still have so much left to experience." She was starting to get hysterical. "I need to help Harry defeat Voldemort, finish Hogwarts, become an Auror…" she continued on not realizing she had completely blown her cover to this complete stranger that she didn't know if she could trust or not.

"Did you just say you go to Hogwarts?" asked Ryan looked at Hermione with a look that could only be described as pure and utter confusion.

The scene at the party was sheer confusion and chaos. Most everyone was scared, while a good majority of the women in the room were in hysterics because they feared another witch present in their town

Draco was left to pick up the pieces. The men had slightly beaten him up so welts were starting to form on various places on his body. He didn't care about the rest of the people nor his injuries, he just needed to speak with Ana.

He had no idea why the events earlier had happened. He knew Hermione would never curse someone unprovoked. Draco know from experience after all, touching his nose in remembrance of the eventful day in third year.

After much thought, Draco figured Ana was pretending to be cursed to get back at Hermione for interrupting Ana and him the previous day and Ana must have asked Ann to go along with it. It was the stupidest thing he had ever heard. Girls and their cattiness, he thought

After Hermione was dragged away Ana and Ann calmed down and stopped yelling and screaming. Draco recovered from his beating, promptly marched up to Ana and started questioning her.

"What was that for?" he demanded.

"Emily cursed me," Ana said innocently.

"No, she didn't, you're lying. Why are you doing this? Don't you realize she could die just because you're being a bitch for the simple reason that she saw you being a slut?" he snarled at her. Even though he couldn't stand Hermione, he didn't want her dead. She kept him on his feet. Moreover, he had kind of gotten used to having her around.

"I don't care what she did or didn't do yesterday. She cursed Ann and me and she must pay for that," the look in her eyes changed rapidly from her innocent angelic look to one of pure hatred and determination. "She will get what she deserves for the pain she has caused."

Draco quickly decided that Ana was, in fact, a psychotic bitch and he needed to save Hermione before she was killed.

"Um, did I say Hogwarts? I mean um…." Hermione stuttered, her mind blank as to how to get herself out of this mess. Ryan had gotten over his confusion and now was smirking with amusement.

"Look, Emily, it's okay. You can trust me," Ryan said.

"What makes you think I should trust you?" Hermione accused.

"Because I'm one of you, a witch. Well obviously in my case, it would be a wizard."

"WHAT?!" Hermione screeched. "Prove it."

"Okay, I will," he responded. He pulled out what was obviously his wand from his pocket. "Accio cup." The cup from the table in the far corner came rushing to the young man.

"I can't believe this," Hermione said. "Are you the only one?"

"Yes, that I know of. I don't exactly go around announcing it to everyone. You've seen how they freak out over nothing. Think how they would react to real magic."

"Makes sense. But how do you know about Hogwarts?"

"There are no magic schools in America yet, so I went to Hogwarts before I moved here. I moved here right after the trials started to try to lessen the damage. However, I haven't had much luck. I can't use magic to fix it," Ryan continued.

"So is there anyway you can get me out of here?" Hermione asked. "I don't belong here."

"Why is that? Haven't you lived here your whole life? Well apart from going to Hogwarts?"

"I'm from the futu...," Hermione started to say.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Draco had just walked in the door. He was furious at Hermione, thinking she was stupidly telling their secret to this stupid git.

"It's okay, he's one of us," Hermione responded, sensing Draco's want to kill her on the spot.

Draco quickly understood what she meant by 'us'.

"And just how do you know that?" Draco still didn't believe that this jailer could possibly be a wizard.

"He showed me," she simply stated. Hermione glanced over at Ryan who promptly showed him and explained his whole back story.

After Ryan was done Draco was still a little skeptical, but it felt better about the situation than before.

"So can you get her out of here?" Draco asked.

"No, not without risking more lives. But I can help you get back to your home before time for the execution," said Ryan.

From the start of this whole situation, Hermione had begun to formulate a plan. As she looked from Draco to Ryan, she realized the final detail she needed to get started on putting into motion. It was a plan that she hoped wouldn't get herself or the boys killed.
