Eighteen-year-old Hermione and her parents were startled by the noise caused by the sudden appearance of a tall muscular man who looked to be a few years younger than the Granger matrimony, he had green eyes, dark hair, and worn-out clothes painted with blood, and he stood proudly in the living room, it was hard to ignore the fact that he was he was carrying a wand.

“Oh Merlin…Did you modify their memories already?” Asked the man to Hermione with a worried tone.

Her parents suddenly looked at their daughter who had her wand pointed at them, and this caused Hermione to lower it as fast as possible, she felt so embarrassed for being caught, however, there was another problem in her head.

“Wait a minute…How did you know what I was going to do?!” She asked angrily as she now pointed her wand at the man.

However, instead of being intimidated, the man couldn’t stop himself from laughing and crying at the same time.

“Oh, god…It’s just like I remembered you were, so fierce and savage, a true Gryffindor nonetheless,” the man said with a chuckle.

“Janey…What’s going on here? Who is this man? Why did you want to modify our memories?” Asked her mother with a concerned tone.

“Mom…I don’t know who he is, I swear this is the first time I’ve seen him, and well…I tried to modify your memories because something awful is happening in the magical world and I'm going on a quest to save the world but I can't do it without worrying about your safety,” she said to her parents.

She was on the verge of tears, however, she wasn’t able to lie to them, not with the angry looks they were giving her.

“Oh dear…” Her mother said before running to hug her.

It didn’t take too long for the father to do the same thing, James couldn’t help but smile at the scene. However, there were some important matters they needed to take care of, tonight something was going to happen and if he wanted to avoid a death from happening, he needed to act fast.

“I’m glad I arrived in time because…Modifying your parents' memories is going to cause your relationship to change,” the man suddenly got everyone’s attention.

“Wait, what? How do you—” Hermione was about to question but then, her eyes widened as she saw his green eyes closer. “Harry…Is that you?!” She asked incredulously.

She ran from her parents as fast as possible to look at his neck, she was trying to find the answer to the question she didn’t want to ask but in the end, she didn’t find anything.

“Harry…Where’s the time turner? This is wrong you shouldn’t be here, time traveling to modify the timeline is against the magical law!” Hermione declared and soon her parents gasped.

“Janey…Time travel? Isn’t Harry the name of your friend from school? Now that I think about it he looks similar to him…” Her mother said with a surprised tone.

“No, Mom, wait…You need to go before they know more,” Hermione said to the man who apparently came from the future but he just laughed.

“Relax Hermione…I’m not breaking any magical law, the law states that it’s against the rules to travel back in time and change the timeline with the use of time turners, and as you can see my dear Mione…” She couldn’t help but blush after hearing that nickname.

She hated it but for some reason hearing it from an older version of her best friend felt good.

“No time turner was used to achieve this,” the man said with a smirk. “I did it by myself, the time travel ritual it’s a creation of mine, it’s even simpler than what you might think, however, this is no time to discuss this, tonight’s plan is nothing but chickens asking to be roasted,” now his tone was colder.

This caused everyone to shudder and Hermione couldn’t help but gulp.

“I came here to prevent the many losses from the war but most of all…” The man suddenly put himself in front of Hermione.

Soon he started to caress her cheek which caused her to bite her lower lip and blush, she didn’t know why she was acting like this, if Harry was going to become like him then she could get used to it.

They seemed to be lost but then, the coughing from the overprotective father and the blushing face of the mother caused him to stop doing that, it’s not like he feared them, they were muggles after all but he respected them.

“I wanted to prevent the horrible fate you and many other of my female friends went through,” Harry’s words made her stop what she was feeling.

“W-what?” That’s the only thing she could ask and he nodded.

“Yes Mione…In my timeline you modified your parents' memories and sent them to Australia, after the war was won with a lot of casualties, the relationship between you and your parents never recovered…They were scared of you,” Harry’s words made her gulp.

“Yeah I can see that, it’s so scary how you can do that without us noticing it or without us being asked, after that show of power, we would feel like walking on thin ice every time you're around us, we would be wary of you,” her mother said with an ashamed tone.

Those words were like daggers to Hermione, she never considered the aftermath because she was expecting to die and not worry about what was going to happen once she left this world but apparently she was going to survive.

“After that, you felt alone and sad because my past self was dating Ginny, you never acknowledged your feelings towards me, so, in the end, you ended up marrying…Snape,” Older Harry said with a weak smile.

Hermione couldn’t help but gasp, so many things were being said at the same time, not only her feelings towards her best friend were being vented but also, the fact that ended up marrying that treacherous bastard was enough to make her angry.

“But…Why? He betrayed the order, he killed Dumbledore…How could I have ended up marrying him?!” Hermione couldn’t believe it.

“Well, turns out that the whole Dumbledore death thing was a setup, Dumbledore was already on the verge of death, so, to stop Malfoy from fracturing his soul and ruining his life, and at the same time, give Snape more credibility to his role with the death eaters, Dumbledore ordered Snape to kill him,” To say that future Harry’s words took her by surprise would be an understatement.

“Okay, I can see that…It’s admirable, to be honest, I find it hard to believe but…You’re Harry and if you managed to not kill him for marrying me then I guess he wasn't a bad husband in your timeline,” Hermione couldn’t help but blush.

“You two were practically alone, so, you became friends as you recovered from the scars that the war left, and by the time you were twenty-one, you two got married,” he said with a sad tone.

“Okay, I can see myself doing that if I wasn’t going to be with the person I truly loved at least I would find someone smart,” Hermione said sadly.

Now she was determined to tell the younger Harry how she felt, she truly wanted to be with him.

“Yeah, that’s what happened but it wasn’t a good idea…After a few years after you got married, you two ended up resenting each other and one day, you had a huge fight in his potions lab…It wasn’t the right place to do that as an explosion happened and killed you both,” the emerald-eyed wizard said and Hermione couldn’t help but gasp.

However, before anything else could happen, someone else decided to join the conversation, it was a blonde witch and she was smirking, it was Daphne Greengrass.
