    Summary

    Cutting through Botanic Garden after missing curfew, Jo Tiegan almost hits a little dog with her bike. Following the strange, curious spaniel, she's led to a lost, traumatized boy who's been displaced in time.

    Frightened and clearly more than a bit crazy, he won't tell her his real name or where he came from. He refuses to go to hospital, he sings to his dog in a language Jo doesn't recognize, and (oddest of all) he doesn't even seem to know what country he's in.

    For all the dozens of theories she comes up with, she never imagines the boy hiding out in her bedroom is the uncrowned Tsar of all the Russias...

    Nor what he's just been through.

    (Previously titled "Journey to the Future".)

    Summary

    It took real effort to say, That's not my story. To say, I am doing something more important. I cannot be distracted, and I cannot run away.

    "It's about killing that bastard," whispered Hermione to the spruce trees. "Nothing else matters."
    ***
    March of '98. While Harry longs for the Hallows and Ron tries to make up for having walked out, Hermione does the actual work: cleaning, cooking, mending, and growing up much faster than she wanted to.

    Summary

    In 1990, prominent Muggleborn research wizard Cromwell Albertson embarked on an ambitious project to interview six Muggle-born students – before and after their life-changing discovery of their wizarding talent. He continued these interviews over the next nine years, a period of time which spanned both the Chamber of Secrets attacks in 1992 and Voldemort’s second rise and subsequent persecution of Muggleborns in 1997. The Pensieve Projection that resulted won a Superbius award for artistic excellence in 2002 and has been required viewing in the Hogwarts Muggle Studies course since 2008.
