Chapter One: Sixty Seconds

Category: Harry Potter

In general, out of all the time in the Universe, sixty seconds, really has no value. It's nothing compared to millions of years. More than that even. When you say wait a minute. Although a minute seems long, when you think about it, it has no importance to your whole life.

For 99.999999999% of the world this is true. But for Hermione Granger. Her life was known for changing within 60 seconds. The first time. When she got her Hogwarts letter. The next time on the train when she met Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley. The next time was when they became friends. The list goes on and on and on. There was one particular minute though that seriously screwed up her life.
