The wizarding world was not the same as it had been when Ginny had left a few months earlier.Voldemort's power cast a cloud over the place, his followers looked down on all who were not pure blood and did not support their master, and the world outside Hogwarts began to fall apart.Although Hogwarts is known for its safety, many students were picked up.

Voldemort has clearly ruled the Ministry of Magic.From the lowest clerk to the minister himself is under his control.Muggles and Muggle-born wizards were branded and hunted down, as if their bloodlines were a ticket to some kind of game.For anyone loyal to the Order of the Phoenix, Hogwarts has become a safe haven, but the road to Hogwarts has many obstacles and is often ruthlessly blocked.

It was another feeling of disbelief that the world had turned so badly while she was away.But Remus assured her it was all true.He took her hand, sat on the edge of her bed, and explained to her slowly so she wouldn't have another panic attack.

As the world outside gradually collapsed, Ginny felt that everything she once believed in collapsed.Remus was also trying to explain to her.

"You're going to have a lot of culture shock, Ginny," he told her gravely. "You have to try to fit in. Everything you knew, what you thought you knew, is gone. Remember the first time you came to Hogwarts? How lost were you? You're going to do it all over again, Ginny. "

He is right.She felt as if she was pulling back.Her body hadn't recovered from the time travel, and she was having another panic attack.Any word or thought would trigger it, and Ginny could only gasp for breath, feeling so hopeless that only Remus could calm her down.Her parents hadn't arrived yet, and she couldn't see any of the students until McGonagall decided it was okay.She seemed to be trapped in Limbo, where Remus was old and telling her silly stories, while Sirius and James hid behind a curtain and watched the pranks they played on Ginny.

She always woke up at night thinking she heard Sirius' deep voice in the school hospital.He would call to her to come to him, and she would search the school hospital by the light of her wand until she was exhausted.

Ginny felt as if she had gone crazy.Remus refused to leave her side.He was worried about her, and if Ginny was in her right mind she would understand why.McGonagall tried talking to Ginny, trying to clear her mind, but to no avail.

Whenever Ginny saw such an old Meg, she would always think of the professor who spoke harshly to her because of her absence from class 19 years ago.But that wasn't actually 19 years ago, it was just a few days ago.Whenever the light hit Remus' face from an angle, Ginny couldn't see those wrinkles.There were times when he touched her face before she fell asleep and she almost believed it wasn't Remus but Sirius.

Maybe she's a little crazy.But Ginny would always think of Sirius, and of him proposing to her.She couldn't shake the guilt that she left him without really saying goodbye.He had thought that he would see her again that afternoon, that he would continue to persuade her to stay with him.

What if she could go back in time and explain to him that she would come back again?What if she could go back in time and spend a few more hours alone with Sirius?What if she went back in time, before James and Lily were murdered, and tried to prepare for the life Sirius was about to face?

She didn't prepare him for anything and she felt bad.Guilt eats away at her, and at times it makes her feel sick, and she vomits all over the place.Her emotions were like riding a roller coaster. She was crying one second, and then started laughing the next second.

What if she could go back in time and fix everything?What did it matter if she could change everything?After all, only she knows.

If, these ifs were so fascinating, Ginny began to whisper these plans to herself.She often stayed alone in the school hospital, but Madam Pomfrey had been watching her warily from a distance, and she began to think that she might not have really traveled to the future.Everything may have been arranged by Dumbledore. He was confusing her, pretending that she had traveled in time and space, but he just poisoned her.

Ginny didn't know why he did this, but she knew that Dumbledore was an odd man.

So, when Remus suddenly woke Ginny, still holding the Time-Turner, she felt her whole body lighten.She smiled, stared at the Time-Turner with wide eyes, and reached out to grab it.Remus always knew how to comfort Ginny and how to play with her.Now, he's proven his worth once again.He understood what she was thinking and decided to get the Time-Turner for her.

Ginny would go back in time again.

"Remus," she whispered in surprise.

He looked at her blankly and avoided her.Ginny jumped out of bed, still trying to reach the Time-Turner.She hardly noticed that something was wrong with Remus.

If he let her have it, she could go back.She can go back.No one she loves will die, and she can come back here, or she can fix all—

"After I carried you to the school hospital, McGonagall took it off your neck." Remus explained to himself. "I thought you were going to die. I thought you couldn't. I waited for you to come back from 1978. I felt as if all my hope had been wiped out."

He looked at the Time-Turner, which glowed golden in the bright light of the campus hospital.

"She gave it to me to keep it safe, saying I'd know what to do with it. Of course I didn't understand her. How could I keep the Time-Turner? It doesn't make sense. I have more important Things to worry about...mainly you."

Ginny nodded, then held out her hand again.Remus drew the Time-Turner back to his side.

"But instead of getting stronger, I see you getting weaker."

He looked into her eyes and his voice was unnatural.

"I think of you, Ginny. I think of you when I was at Hogwarts, you are so strong, nothing can knock you down, even if you fall, I will help you. I know this is true for you It’s going to be hard because … 19 years go by so fast and you only have a few days to take it.”

At his words, Ginny looked away from the Time-Turner to her friend.Remus was desperately trying to get her attention.

"I can hardly take it for 19 years, I've been digesting it. But you, Ginny, you have to take it in one breath now. I feel bad about it."

Ginny frowned and opened her mouth.She doesn't like to hear people talk about her time travel, and she doesn't want to know that the world outside the wall is not the year she hoped for.

"So I have to do this for you...and for myself. Because if I don't, you're never going to get better."

He stood up and motioned Ginny to get out of bed.Ginny threw back the covers and ran to his side.Her hair was a mess and her nightgown was wrinkled.

"Do you want to go back to them? Do you want to go back to Sirius?"

Ginny was almost relieved.He knew, he knew what she was thinking.

"Yes, Remus, yes! Thank you, thank you—"

Before she could finish, she screamed as Remus slammed the Time-Turner to the ground.It shattered, glass splattered and sand landed on her bare feet.Ginny knelt down, clutching at the shattered glass.

She was panting heavily, unable to lift her head at all.He smashed the Time-Turner.

"You can't go back," he said above her head.

Ginny still couldn't move.She raised her head slowly, looking at Remus.He looked at her sadly, but his voice was still so harsh.

"You can't go back and save them, Ginny. You shouldn't. Before you realize—"

Ginny lunged at Remus, knocking him down, pounding him with her fists like hell.When she hit him on the head, he yelled and pushed her away.Ginny fell to the ground on her back.Remus sat up, and before he could catch his breath, Ginny grabbed the Time-Turner fragment and threw it at him.

Remus uttered a spell, dodging the shards of glass.Ginny stood up, screaming with excitement.She clutched a piece of broken glass, she could feel it cutting her skin, and pointed the tip at Remus.

He looked at her in shock.

"Why did you do that? You bloody bastard, why did you do that?" she cried.

Before he could answer, Ginny threw the glass at him.Remus dodged it easily.Ginny was about to catch her breath, not knowing whether to scream or cry next, when Remus ran to her side.He threw her to the ground.

He pressed his mouth on her body, immediately grabbed her wrists tightly, and pressed them to the top of his head.He pressed his leg against her kicking legs, and finally Ginny couldn't move.Panting heavily, his face flushed, Remus looked down at her.

"It's over?" he asked, his warm breath on her face.

Ginny couldn't move, she could only look at him.This was the closest she had been to Remus since she returned to her own time and space, and she took the opportunity to reacquaint herself with her friend's face.He's old, yes, but he hasn't lost any of his handsomeness.She can still make out the golden-brown strands of her youth among the gray hairs.
