Chapter One-

******

Summary-Hermione creates a time-turner that will go back years, but now everyone wants a hold of it, so Harry takes it for safe-keeping, but when looking into it he falls in, dropping the turner. Now he's in the era of the Marauders and he's the DADA teacher!

Harry POV

"Harry! C'mon! Hermione and Ron are expecting us for dinner tonight!" Ginny called to me.

"Coming!" I called back. I pulled my traveling cloak over myself and stored my Invisibilty Cloak in my pocket, Ron wanted to use it to track down some illegal animagus next week, I was surprised that he didn't need me to come, but then again, Ron had gotten awfully good at magic and tracking down illegal animal transformers. I chuckled to myself, Kingsley always gave him easy asignments, but even then I was still assigned to accompany him.

I jumped off the stair case to save two seconds of time and ran out the door with Ginny. 'Ready?" I asked. She nodded. I visuallized their Burrow, modeled after Mr and Mrs Weasley's, and felt the usually sucking feeling and imaginary hook go through my navel.

Only seconds later did the feeling go away and I could see Ron and Hermione's burrow. I smiled to myself, Hermione told me she had a new invention that she was aching to show us. We walked towards the door and tapped lightly. "Coming!" I heard from inside. "Ronald Weasley, get off your lazy arse and help me! Your sister is coming for goodess sake!" Hermione snapped.

"All right, woman!" he sighed.

Ginny chuckled. Hermione opened the door and smiled at us. 'Harry! Ginny!" she squealed and pulled us into a hug Mrs. Weasley would have been proud of.

"Er-Mi-Nee, can' breath'" I grunted.

"Sorry" she said, letting go, her face bright red.

"It's been so long, Hermione" Ginny said as we walked in.

"You were here last week" Ron said incredulously.

"Shut it, Ronald" Ginny snapped.

"Fine, Ginerva" Ron retored.

"Why is it that even though you two are grown adults you still act like ten-year-olds" Hermione laughed.

I laughed along with her. Even little James and Albus were more mature. "So Hermione, what's this amazing invetntion you have created that I must see?" I asked.

"Oh, right here" she said and showed me a tiny, gold hour-glass.

"A time-turner?" I asked.

"Not just any time-turner. I have increased this time-turner's power so much that it will go back, not just hours, but years" she said, while holding the object tenderly.

"Really? That's brilliant" I said, "How does it work?"

"It's voice activated. Watch" she clicked a small button and a light came out. "Year 1991" she instructed, in the light came the Grand Hall and in the Grand Hall, I was there, with the sorting hat.

"How did it know to go to the right day and place?" I asked.

"I had already programmed the day and place, but I can change it. As for the time, it goes back to the exact time it is when you prgram the day and place." she explained.

"Wow" I said, astonished.

"Yep, that's my girl" Ron boasted as he walked into the kitchen.

"Let's have dinner, shall we?" Hermione suggested

"I'll help you set the table" Ginny said.

Ron looked at me and whispered, "Did you get it?"

"Yep, but I don't see why you need it to track down some bloke who has gone and turned himself into a horse animagus"

"I don't. I need it because word has gotten out about Hermione's time-turner. Everywhere we go, they ambush us, she isn't safe. I need it to hide her when we go into public"

"That's...That's actually kinda smart of you" I said incredulously.

"Don't act so surpirsed" he mumbled

"Why don't I keep it, for safe keeping?" I suggested.

"You would do that, for us?" Ron asked. I nodded, "Wait. How do I know you are Harry Potter, and not some Polyjioce disguised bloke?" he asked evaisively.

"Because, when we were seveteen, we searched the world looking for Horcruxes, and you risked your life to save me and the sword of Godric Gryffindor. How do I know this? Because I am Harry James Potter!" I said.

"Fine, fine. Don't get all jumpy" he muttered. He handed me the time-turner and I slipped it into my pocket.

"Keep it" I said as he attempted to hand back the Invisibility Cloak. "Until things settle down"

"Thanks Harry, I dunno what I'd do without you"

"The feeling is mutual" I assured him.

******

"Bye Hermione." Ginny said as we walked out of the Burrow.

"Bye guys" I said. We stood on the doorstep of the Burrow, one hand gripped around Ginny's and the other in my pocket, gripped around the time-turner as we Disapparated back to our cottage in Godric's Hollow.

Later that night, when Ginny was asleep, I sat by the stairs and pulled out the tiny time-turner. "1977" I murmured. The light came on again and the Grand Hall, obviously deserted at this late hour, came into sight. "Dumbledore's office" I muttered.

The Grand Hall smeared out of view and Dumbledore's office could be seen. I smiled, Dumbledore and McGonagall were talking about something, I leaned in closer to see if I could hear what they were saying, but instead I began to feel as if I were Disapparating. I watched as my surrounds changed, and in all the haste, I dropped the time-turner.

He smiled a bit, "The boy is not lying. In fact, if I am not mistaken, we will be very good friends."

"So I can be the teacher?" I asked

"You can be the teacher" Dumbledore said.

"Welcome aboard, Mr. Potter" McGonagall said.

"Thank you Professors"
