    Summary

    "Tempus fugit: from the Latin, usually translated into English as 'time flies' or 'time is fleeting'; generally used to draw attention to the rapid passage of time (acc. Oxford), the expression comes from line 284 of book 3 of Virgil's Georgics, as 'fugit inreparabile tempus' i.e. 'it escapes, irretrievable time'."

    It's the English magical community's worst-kept secret that the vaults of pureblooded wizarding families are stocked with all manner of antique artifacts and oddities - some Dark, some curious...and all unquestionably illegal. Fortunately, there isn't much that enough money - particularly old, connected money - can't buy...grease the right palms, and even the Auror Office and the DMLE are willing to turn a blind eye.

    Case in point - enter Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger...and one mysteriously-obtained time-turner.

    "I mark the hours, every one,
    Nor have I yet outrun the Sun.
    My use and value, unto you,
    Are gauged by what you have to do."
