It's 8 years after Hogwarts. Draco's gotten his own house, and he's gotten a time turner from a dark wizard. He's currently going through a wizarding history book at his dining table, writing down people who he needs to go back in time to save. He continues to thumb through the pages, the time turner sitting on the table next to his hand, his cloak, and wand directly in front of him. The only sounds are his mumbling and the scratching of his quill against the parchment.
Draco: Regulus Black, October 15th, 1979... Lily Potter, October 31st, 1980... James Potter, October 31st, 1980... Sirius Black, June 18th, 1996...
He mumbles the names to himself.
Draco: Alastor Moody, 1997... Fred Weasley, May 2nd, 1998... Nymphadora Tonks, May 2nd, 1998... Severus Snape, May 2nd, 1998... Lavender Brown, May 2nd, 1998... Colin Creevey, May 2nd, 1998...
He sighs and dips his quill in the inkwell, drumming his fingers against the dining table while shutting the history book and picking up the time turner.
His house was deathly silent. The wind blew, the clock ticked, the time turner swirled in his hands.
He pulls on his cloak, shoving his wand into the holster on his right thigh while putting the time turner around his neck and tucking the list into his shirt pocket.
He pauses for a moment, his hands resting on the edge of the table. He looked around his empty home. No one was going to miss him. No one was going to expect anything from him. He had nothing to lose. No one knew what he was doing. It was just a leap of faith.
He let out a shaky breath, starting to turn the time turner.
Draco: October 15th, 1979, Horcrux Cave...
