Hermione throws back a handful of popcorn. "So, anyway I did some tinkering and got the Time-Turner to work! Actually, my contacts at the Ministry of Magic helped."
Ginny rolls her eyes. "You didn't sleep with someone else to make your evil plans work, did you Little Miss Perfect. No, wait. I am going to call you Dirty Girl. Is this agreed on everyone?"
Cho and Luna high five.
Hermione skulls her wine and waves at them.
"A few um, shall we say, sexy dances by little ole me impressed a nice young man in Ancient Artifacts and Relics."
Luna laughs. "You are so dirty. Damn girl, I knew you would love the hairbrush."
"Shut up, Luna. We all have a sexy side itchy to get out and I, well, found mine in a naughty and fun kind of way."
Ginny slaps her head. "And I thought to have sex in the air on brooms was up there with Kink. Tell me you just stripped, no sex, then I will forever still be your friend."
"I did a hot striptease and y'know, masturbated for this nice young man. That's all. Well, he did get excited. He couldn't help the poor man. I was dressed up as Professor McGonagill."
The girls were in awe and silent shock. Awkward silence crept in.
"So anyway. This works. We got six hours not the regular five. I want to go back in time two days to see Backstreet Boys in Central Park in New York, rock out, tease some guys, have a few beers, dance and Apparate back here, then use the Time-Turner to go back to the right time. Simple really. You see, we missed the concert. I forgot all about it having too much fun at the beach. I really wanted to go. I brought the Time-Turner because well, I thought, we just might have a chance to use it."
"Won't the Ministry of Magic be alerted we used it?"
"Nope, I looked into that. The Time-Turners are written off as dead. Well, are you up to see those hot bods on stage?"
Ginny squeals. Cho and Luna high-five.
"Okay girls, I would say that is a definite yes. Now, the weather in New York when the concert was on, was balmy so hot pants and little to nothing else. Got to wiggle those butts girls."
Everyone went into Battle Station mode.
They cleaned up and went to bed. First thing in the morning after breakfast. Hermione spoke to the Time-Turner. They all held hands in a circle. Hermione twisted the dial on the necklace. Smoke came out, the dial spun fast. The girls were engulfed with smoke and mist.
Boom!
Central Park. Thousands and thousands of people.
Explosions rocked the stage. The Backstreet Boys come out dancing.
So, they danced, sang, drank and danced some more. It was an amazing concert. Luna got to get up on some six-foot-six hunk's shoulders and bounce around. Cho took a photo of Luna throwing her bra into the crowd.
After the concert, the girls got Backstreet Boys t-shirts and scoffed down hot dogs. They all held hands in a quiet spot far from the Concert and Apparated back to Spain. The apartment was the same. Everything seemed fine.
"Okay girls, let's go to the future," Hermione said.
They all grabbed each other's shoulders and looked down. Hermione whispered her magic and the Time-Turner spun. It started fast and got faster. The mist started swirling around the girls. The mist started to spin around the girls in a strange way. Anti-clockwise. Hermione spoke. "Keep your heads down it is picking the right spot for us." They concentrated.
