An End That Lead to a Beginning

Idius Halfhwit was dead.

In his wake stood two girls. One with her mouth agape in disbelief, and the other almost looking disappointed. Hermione had done this quite a few times, and it seemed she would be doing it at least another.

She turned to a frightened Cho Chang and wiped her fluids from the girls chin as Cho faced her.

"Don't worry," said Hermione, "this all will only last a few seconds more." Hermione gripped a Time Turner. One that she had used many times before to stop tragedy. The same one that she had used one too many times, and a hundred times more. All to save her friend Harry Potter.

Her words only seemed to frighten Cho as the girls pupils dilated. But something about the way Hermione stroked the girls hair made her forget there was a dead person only a few feet away. Cho Chang was suddenly transfixed in Hermione's eyes.

Hermione planted a kiss on Cho Chang. One much softer than those before. Who knew if Cho Chang would be waiting for her again on the otherside.

Hermione pulled away and put the Time Turner to use.
