"Eileen you must go," my father said to me handing me a silver chain. His voice shook with fear which mirrored his shaking hands.
I cried harder and held on to him, "No. Daddy I don't want to go! I can't leave you! I can't leave Adele! Please!"
A gust of wind blew outside, our house shook and all the candles went out. A storm was coming. Death was at my doorstep.
Tears formed in my father's eyes. He took my face in his hands, "My daughter. My beautiful daughter. I love you and your mother loved you and your daughter loves you. I will take care of her. You must go. We will see each other again, sooner than you know."
He kissed my forehead and I wrapped my arms around him for one last hug. My daughter laid in her bassinet, sleeping through everything. She would be too young to remember me; this is what I would regret the most.
I put the chain around my neck and turned the hourglass. Everything around me started to pass by and the hourglass kept spinning.
A fog crept into my mind and my eyes clouded over. I collapsed on cold ground.
A blanket covered me and my body was lifted off the ground.
"Ready, Severus?" the old man asked.
The tall man with dark hair nodded and the old man put his hand on the mans shoulder. In a blink of an eye, they were gone leaving only footprints in the snow.
From a distance I heard the soft huming of a woman. As I gained consciousness, the humming was joined with clattering, chit-chat, and footsteps.
I tried to open my eyes, but found that they seemed molded together. I groaned and the woman stopped humming.
"Are you awake?" She asked reluctantly.
I tried to speak, but seems my eyes were not the only thing not working properly.
Something foreign touched my lips.
"Here, drink some water," she said adjusting the object so that it was was in my mouth.
I did not understand how to draw water from it and as if reading my thoughts, she said "sip it. It's a straw. When you sip, the water is drawn out."
I did as she instructed and cool crisp water rejuvinated my tongue and mouth.
"I'm going to wash over your eyes, so don't be frightened," she said softly. Then a warm wet cloth past over my eyes. Slowly, I opened my eyes. Everything was bright and blurry as if this was the first time my eyes were seeing light after spending years in a dark cave. After a few seconds of blinking and squinting, my eyes finally adjusted to my surroundings. The first thing I saw was a stone ceiling and a woman with a red and white nurse's hat hovering over me. She had blonde hair and wore a big bright smile.
"Hello, dear," she said.
"Hello," I replied back, my voice sounding foreign.
Around me were many beds lined up on the walls. It seemed I was in a type of hospital.
"Where am I?" I said forming words with my foreign voice.
"You're safe- you're in the hospital wing at Hogwarts," then she smiled and patted my hand, "I'm going to get Albus and tell him you've awaken."
"He's here?" I asked surprised, trying to sit up on my bed.
"Who do you think brought you here?" she asked smiling and walked away.
I choked back tears not knowing if they were happy or sad tears.

I choked back tears not knowing if they were happy or sad tears. When I traveled to this time, I did not know when or whether I would see him again- or my daughter. But it seems that as soon as I left him, I would be seeing him again. My heart pounded at the thought of finding out everything. I looked around at the high walls and ceiling. I remembered it, I've been here before multiple times for multiple injuries. I wondered how the school had changed since then. I wondered why he was here.
Three of the beds were occupied by students. They wore some sports gear, very similar to what Quidditch players wore. I smiled, I had not seen a game of Quidditch in years. They saw me looking at them and I smiled immediately. They smiled back big toothy grins no doubt wondering who I was and what I was doing here.
The sound of footsteps from the hall echoed and there entered a tall grayed bearded man and the nurse, I had forgotten to ask her name.
As the nurse walked, she pointed at the three students, "What are you three still doing here? You're fine to leave. Go on." The three students celebrated and jumped out of bed, then out of the room.
The old man reached my bed with a large smile on his bearded face.
"I have been waiting for you," he said. His voice was deeper and older sounding, but I knew it from heart.
"Daddy?" I asked studying his face, trying to put the father I had last seen and this man together.
He smiled kindly, "I know I am much older from the last time you saw me." The nurse put a stool behind him and he sat down. He drew out his hands from beneath his robes and held mine. They were warm- they were always warm.
I smiled, accepting him as my father. My hands left him and went up to his face touching every line. I shook my head, "how long? How long has it been?"
"It is the year 1995," he said watching the expression on my face.
My mouth dropped, "that long?" I realized then that something had gone wrong. I was not supposed to travel this far into the future- maybe three decades. But I traveled 64 years into the future.
I realized that something was missing from this, "where is Adele? Where is my daughter." At that, the nurse took her leave. It seemed this was a discussion meant only for my father and I.
