Hopes and Time turners

In the name of love

I opened my eyes, surrounded by white. Albus Dumbledore, (Yes, the old headmaster) was sitting there eating lemon drops. 

"Where am I" I asked. 

"You are neither dead or alive."

"How? I got hit with the killing curse..."

"Let's just say that Delphi made a mistake in telling you what really happened. You were so full of love that she couldn't kill you."

It all made sense. Then I asked a stupid question. 

"Can I go back?"

"Of course you can. Just think about your loved ones and you'll come straight back."

I thought of Alice and Albus, Scorpius and Lily, Vincent, Uncle Harry, my parents, my grandparents, and my other cousins. 

Suddenly, everything started spinning and things regained their color. I woke up on the floor of the train aisle, with the trolley witch checking to see if I was alive. I assured her I was fine and went to the compartment with Albus, Alice, Hugo, Vincent, Lily, and Scorpius. 

I sat down and started a conversation. They were all confused or surprised at first, but then they went right along. 

"I don't know what happened, but I am glad to have Rose back." Scorpius said. 

I realized I hadn't told them what happened. I sheepisly told the story, from the morning I ran away to when I sat down in the compartment. They all sat there in shock for (I checked on this one) Five. Straight. Minutes. 

When we hit platform 9 3/4, I ran off and into my father's arms. He accepted me happily, obviously expecting something different. I hugged my mum too. 

When we got to the car and started driving away, I told them what had happened to me. They were shocked, to say the very least. 

We went to the burrow for Christmas and New years. On new years eve at 11:55 I looked up at the sky. "Five more minutes and we'll have lived longer than Delphi permitted." I observed, looking at Albus and Scorpius. 

Then the countdown started.

I kissed Scorpius. This was going to be a good year.
