Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger, reluctant yet polite colleagues in the Department of Mysteries: Time Division, had spent hundreds, nay thousands of hours bent over workbenches, wands in hand, potions bubbling. No one alive remembered how to make a Time Turner, and they were hell bent on recreating just one. There had been many long hours away from home, resulting in the collapse of Granger’s relationship (which had been on thin ice to begin with) and Draco’s love life (which had included very little "love," if he were honest), but when they finally finished the last bit of arithmancy, the last cautious charm work, they believed they had a completed, functional Time Turner.
