Summary
Too much loss and too much suffering drove a desperate Hermione Granger to make a bid for a different outcome. Albus Dumbledore had once told her that it was dangerous to meddle with time, but Hermione was willing to sacrifice everything--up to and including herself--to change fate and create a better world for those she loved.
Perhaps she ought to have asked Dumbledore to clarify the dangers of meddling with time.

Summary
In the chaos of battle, during a duel with Bellatrix, Sirius Black falls through the Veil. Yet death does not claim him. Instead, he awakens decades earlier—fifteen years old again, trapped in the past.
Armed with knowledge of what’s to come and scars no one else can see, Sirius turns to his Uncle Alphard. He’s taught to play the perfect Black heir while quietly shifting pieces behind the scenes. He walks the halls of Hogwarts with ghosts at his side, cherishing each moment with the friends he’s come back to save.
Then, something changes. A new student arrives. Wild curls, fire-bright eyes, and a gaze far too knowing for her age. He knows her.
"Kitten?" he whispers, stunned.
"Siri?" she breathes and runs to him across the Great Hall.
In 1998, the war was lost. The Boy Who Lived is dying, magic stripped in a cruel twist of fate. The Order is shattered. With hope fading, a forgotten ritual is found and a desperate plan takes shape.
Now, twenty-three years in the past, Sirius Black and Hermione Dagworth-Granger reunite to stop the war before it begins. Secrets must be kept. Destinies broken. Fates defied. And maybe, just maybe, love can find its way in unexpected places.
