Chapter One
Hermione was a young woman of 17 now. Now Head girl and the top of her class, Hermione was assigned the honour of being what a person would call a tracker of sorts. Her job was to watch and protect a certain person.
But, Hermione was a special sort of tracker. She had the job of tracking none other than Lucius Malfoy. And, this was a little nerve wrecking because lately, the Dark Lord was getting a little vicious with even Lucius. They could not lose this unwilling source of information. He was too important.
So, here Hermione sat in Dumbledore's office keeping a close eye on the subject. He was currently pacing his house. But, then just as everything seemed normal, there was a huge shake of some sort and the door burst open! In walked sixteen Death Eaters and Voldemort. Lucius was obviously not expecting this and was surprised because his eyes were wide open and his jaw was practically on the floor.
"Oh do stop staring Malfoy Senior! 'Tis totally barbaric and rude."
"You just startled me my lord. Forgive my rudeness. Please enter my gracious home."
"I am not here for you...I am here for that whore of yours Narcissa."
"What do you want with my beloved?"
"She has betrayed us my dear Lucius. Bring her to me or die yourself."
He bowed and summoned his wife to stand before the Dark Lord.
Seeing what was about to take place, Hermione ran as fast as she could to Snape's office.
"We have to go to Malfoy..."
But Snape was too quick. He grabbed her by the arm and dragged her to the corridor where they could apparate. With one word, the two were suddenly swept away to Malfoy Manor. When they arrived, however, they were too late. Hermione ran as fast as possible to get to the house. When she arrived in the foyer, she found a rather disturbing sight. There were bodies all over the place, evidence of a struggle that occurred in that very room.
But amongst those bodies was the body of a woman she had come to respect, though they were never acquainted. Narcissa Malfoy was dead. Her body had been ravaged and bruised. She was an angel— broken and bruised— and well, she was dead. Next to her body was a weeping Lucius Malfoy. The poor man had just lost the woman he loved. Without acknowledging the young woman in the room, Malfoy Sr. stood up and turned his wand on himself. Two words were about to be spoken, but Hermione acted quickly.
"No!"
Lucius quickly whipped about and stared dumbfounded at Hermione. How had she found his home? How did she know what was going on? What was she doing here?
"What do you want mudblood?"
"Please— don't do this. Please."
"What do you have to gain by helping me live? I'd just go to Azkaban."
"Not if we have anything to do with it Lucius!" said a sharp voice from the doorway. Turning around, both saw the figures of three people in the doorway. Albus Dumbledore, Severus Snape and Remus Lupin all stood there looking at him with a fierce seriousness in their eyes.
"Ah, Severus...What am I to do? Run? Hide like that pet dog of yours? I don't think so!"
"No— You can join—" But it was too late. Just as Severus began, Lucius said those two words that would end all of his pain.
"AVADA KADAVRA," he said deadly silent. Hermione ran and caught his body as Lucius fell to the ground. His head lay on her lap, his icy blue eyes shut. Tears ran down her cheeks as she held him. Their cause was officially threatened. They had lost an important and valuable source of information for their cause. Overcome with emotion, Hermione passed out only to awaken in the headmaster's bed some time later.

Hermione slowly opened her eyes and everything came into focus, blurry at first. When her eyesight returned to her, the Head Girl came face to face with the Headmaster. She was suddenly aware that these were not her rooms. With a pounding headache, Hermione grimaced and looked at the headmaster with curiosity.
"Good morning Miss Granger."
"Good Morning Headmaster. Can I have something for my headache?"
Out of nowhere, Snape stepped out from the corner of the room with a vial. Apparently, he had been sitting in the chair reading. At the moment, Severus Snape was her hero. Hermione was relieved as the cool smooth liquid flowed down her throat and took her headache down with it. For sometime she felt better— until she remembered the events of the day before.
Hermione began to cry yet again as the memories came slamming into her heart hard. This was not fair at all. Why Lucius? Hermione didn't know why she cared, but she did.
"I wish I could have done something. I wish I could have been there to stop him from ever becoming a Death Eater."
"Miss Granger— Do you know why Lucius became a Death Eater?"
"No— I would imagine he was misguided by his family or friends..."
Snape cut her off by saying, "or me. You see, contrary to what many people have told you; Lucius joined the ranks because I asked him to join with me. I told him that it would offer him a better life. In my childhood, I had been the youngest out of thirteen of us. My eldest brother is in his sixties. I have seven brothers and five sisters. So, being the youngest, I was expected to follow in everyone else—s footsteps. My brothers were all sports experts and three of my sisters graduated with honours. My other two sisters were Head Girl and both on the quidditch dance team."
He cleared his throat and continued with the story. "Well, I worked hard to try and be the best I could be. I wanted to make my parents and family happy by bringing fame and glory to the family name. So, when Marcus Flint Sr asked me to go to the Dark Lord, I accepted. He promised me wealth and above all else, glory. Little did I know that this would be the worst decision I would ever make since dating Marry-Lynne Star (What a nightmare) I asked Lucius, as my best friend to join me in the ranks. Being my best friend and growing up as I had in a family of five children, he accepted. We both regretted, though I was the only one smart enough to leave.—
Hermione was shocked. This was the exact opposite of what Harry and Ron had told her the both of them thought occurred. She nodded and then an idea struck her.
"Headmaster, what if I could stop Lucius from joining the Death Eaters?! I could go back in time and some how fix this all. Please give me a shot at this."
The headmaster debated with himself for the longest time. After dinner that night, he summoned Hermione to his office along with Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Snape and the rest of the Order of the Phoenix. He explained to them what Hermione had seen and what her proposal was. Then he held a vote. But as they began to debate the issue, Hermione spoke up.
"Listen, I messed up— I need to fix what I broke. Please. It is worth a shot. If I fail, then nothing changes and everything remains as it is. If I am successful, then we can hopefully win this war. Please let me do this."
As she sat down, the Order hushed and began to cast their votes. The results came out 6 yes and 1 no. Three guesses who cast that one. *cough*Trelawneythestupidbitch*cough*
And so, it was decided that Hermione would travel back in time to serve her mission. And so it would commence at midnight.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione made her way to the headmaster's office as she had promised him she would at 11:00pm.When she arrived, Severus and Remus were awaiting her to brief her on her mission. There were many rules they had given her.
1.Do not tell anyone she was from the future
2.Do not reveal the future
3.Do not kill anyone
4.Do not get herself killed
5.do not change anything she was not sent to change
6.Keep in contact with the resistance daily
"...And if things get too hard or dangerous, come back home right away! Do I make myself clear?! Do try not to fall in love. If you do fall in love, oh well, but do try not to run into that problem. Other than that, drink, have fun, have sex. Just so long as you get the mission completed. We would also like for you to get the specified information that is enclosed in the letter, journal and package you will receive. Good Luck Miss Granger."
Hermione hugged Remus as he said good luck and she got her time turner. With one last good-bye to the headmaster and the school, Hermione was sucked into the past.
When Hermione landed, she landed on something soft yet strong. When she looked up, she looked into the eyes of.......

Author's Notes: I know...I am evil. Let us just say that the person she landed on is not the person you think it is. Lucius doesn't come back until the end of Chapter Two-Beginning of Chapter Three. Sorry ladies. Severus doesn't come in until right before dear ol' Lucius. I am making both extremely popular and the typical Slytherin Sexy Sex Gods. What can I say?
I would like to thank my oh so wonderful BETA bishoujo_lil.She is a goddess.Thank-you hon. *huggles*
