"Hmm," Harry rubbed his chin, "you didn't like split yourself did you? You aren't really studying while still sitting here with me are you?"
"No, Harry, I am not a starfish. I did not split myself," Hermione said, rolling her eyes.
"Did you get a magical clone who can give you its memories of the class?"
"No, but that's not a bad guess actually. I wonder if they can do such a thing with magic…"
"Hmm, did you…no that wouldn't work…well it's not like you're time traveling or something. If magicals could time travel so many problems would be…" Harry trailed off as he noticed the panicked look in Hermione's eyes. He gaped. "No. You aren't! You're time travelling?! To attend extra classes!?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down, Harry!" Hermione hissed. She quickly took out her wand and cast a few privacy spells that the twins had taught her. Snuffles cocked his head at her. "You're not going to let this go now are you?"
"Are you kidding? You're time traveling! For class! Tell me everything. Please," Harry reached over and clasped her hand putting on his best puppy dog, doe-eyed look.
"Ugh, fine," she sighed. "You cannot tell anyone. Do you hear me, Harry? If you tell anyone I swear I will – well I don't know what I'll do – but you will not like it I can assure you of that!" He nodded hurriedly at her glare. Hermione eventually judged him truthfully and sufficiently cowed before pulling a hand up to her neck and pulling out a small little hourglass on a golden chain. Harry only got a quick glimpse before she tucked it back into her robes. "It's called a time turner. They're very tightly controlled. I only have it because Professor McGonagall has a friend in the Unspeakables."
"Wow…I can't believe you got a time machine just to take a few extra classes…"
Hermione shook her head at him. "I take my studies seriously." Both Snuffle and Harry snorted at that. "Besides, it's not exactly a time machine. It's actually somewhat dangerous if you aren't careful. And it's quite limited. I can only go back six hours every day and I have to be careful to avoid myself. Plus I can't change anything. Anything I do in the past I already did so I'd simply be bringing about the exact same occurrence. Trying to get around this could theoretically erase someone from time entirely."
"That…doesn't really make sense, Hermione. And sounds incredibly dangerous." Harry was gazing at his friend trying to decide whether to annoyed that she had been putting herself into a potentially hazardous situation just to take some electives or impressed that she had managed to time travel under everyone's nose for over half the school year.
"Well the laws of time are not well understood and from what little I could make out of the arithmantic theory they contradict themselves anyway. I decided to just stick to the established rules." She shrugged.
"Still…you couldn't have just dropped a few classes?"
"Well…it's not going to be an issue after this year, Harry, so please don't worry." She shuffled and averted her gaze.
"What do you mean? Hermione?" Harry asked.
"I'm doing this enough that I'm shifting my birthday by a few months…I'm actually somewhat uncomfortable with that fact so I intend to stop after the year is over. Besides I already dropped Divination over a month ago and Muggle Studies is simply ridiculous. Did I ever tell you that the only thing they teach about World War II is that Gellert Grindelwald secretly backed Hitler? That's it! One of the most devastating wars the world has seen and it's relegated to a single line! Nothing about the atomic bombs, nothing about the Holocaust, nothing about tanks – the class doesn't even acknowledge the existence of guns! I have half a mind to suggest simply lobbing a grenade at Voldemort or hitting him with sniper round should he ever get a body back."
Harry ran a hand through his hair. "Actually I asked Shiva about that one already. She said some Muggle-born tried it during the war. He had done something to his body to block conventional weapons from hurting him. It worked on a few of his lieutenants though I think until he gave them similar protections towards the end…Muggle Studies is really that bad? I knew it would be a joke but still. Wow."
"Yes. The only reason I haven't dropped it too is because I want to finish a list of all the problems with the class," Hermione sighed. "No wonder purebloods don't take Muggles seriously if that's their main introduction to the group."
"Yeah." Harry frowned as he considered the rest of her statement. "Wait, you're shifting your birthday?"bolsillos
