Prologue

Time. It has fascinated both wizards and muggles for centauries, yet even after lifetimes of research we are no closer to understanding this boundary on reality.

Many wizards would argue that we know understand time, it only remains a mystery to muggles. The time turner is an example of the way we now can manipulate time. It should however be known that manipulation and understanding are totally different. And playing with something that you don't understand is dangerous.

The time turner is in fact a serendipity. If that is the right word. A serendipity implies a good thing and whilst the time turner has many uses, they could probably be classed as one of the most dangerous things wizards have created.

People say that the time turner can only work on travelling a few hours into the past, yet it can actually transport the user centauries in either direction. The only problem being neither is accurate, so returning to the original time is difficult. This inaccuracy can be blamed on our lack of understanding of time. If time is relative to gravity, as the force of gravity continuously changes therefore so does time. This is just one suggested factor, amongst many thousands of variables that the time turner does not take into consideration.

You may ask why I am telling you all of this, yet it is fundamental to my story. I am Hermione Granger. And I am in big trouble.

A/N: Well that's the first little bit, read on it won't all be like that I promise.

Just so you know reviews are always appreciated. (Hint Hint)
