I **really** hope PK or someone who believes in the possibility of 
TT to a point prior to one's birth...or even just to a point more 
than just days previous...will pick this up & run with it, 


Chancie:
Man, I'm never gonna live this down am I?  I guess I really need to be more 
careful in the way I word things in the future..... This was a theory I stated 
because we were talking about TT rules, IMO rules with a TT don't make since!  
I do think it is possible to go back in time for however long.  It also makes 
since to me that if Hermione can turn the hourglass *back* and go *back* in 
time, then I see no reason she couldn't turn it the opposite way and go into 
the future.....

Hermione went back in time to her classes everyday, I don't believe there is 
any reference to her going back a few days in time. This is the only thing I 
could think of that would make [sense].<<<


I feel that I should clear up what I was saying by this. Several times I was 
quoted saying this (and yes I did), but it wasn't the way I meant it. The 
question had been brought up of "Can a person go back in time to a point
Before they were alive?" In my first post, I stated that in my opinion it 
wouldn't make sense to have time restrictions. I then inserted the quote above 
stating from what I read in the books that the ONLY thing I could see that could 
POSSIBLY be considered a rule maybe, is that from my knowledge I don't 
remember Hermione going back in time a few days at a time. Only adding hours in 
order to get her work done. Then again she had no reason to go back days at a 
time, or years even.

Chancie~ hoping that clears up her previous statement and makes it easier to 
understand the way she intended it!
