Iter à l'amour


This is my 1st fanfiction! If you don't like it, that is fine, and I'd like to know what is wrong/right with it. This is after DH, but there are some things that are off with this story... You'll find out during the story! Also, please tell me if I'm making any mistakes.

The Love Spell

Ginevra Molly Weasley was sitting in her NEWT Potions class. She just finished brewing her potion and had placed a vial of the stuff on the Master's desk. Suddenly, a 1st year, brunette, Ravenclaw boy marched to the front of the classroom, dressed in blue and bronze, and he handed Professor Slughorn a slip of paper and announced, "Miss Weasley is needed in the Headmistress' office." Slughorn nodded that Ginny went, so she did.

Hermione Jean Granger was solving one of the hardest Arithmancy problems that she had ever been given when a 3rd year, blond, Hufflepuff girl crept up the rows to the desk of Professor Vector. She handed the teacher a slip of paper and said, "Headmistress McGonagall wishes to see Miss Granger." When Hermione was dismissed, she gathered her books, placed her equation on the Professor's desk and left.

On Hermione's way to Headmistress McGonagall's office, she walked by her best friend, Ginny, and they realized that they were headed the same way. "So, what do you think that Minerva wants us for?" Ginny asked. Hermione and Ginny were some of the few people who the Headmistress allowed to be called by her 1st name by.

"I'm not sure, but I suppose that we will find out. Godric Gryffindor," Hermione said, and the gargoyle allowed entrance.

When they stepped into the office, they saw Katherine "Katie" Nicole Bell waiting for them. Katie was a year older than Hermione. "Hello, girls," Minerva McGonagall said. "There is something that I need to speak with you about." The girls took their seats. "Many were lost in the war. Especially in the Final Battle. I know that all of you wish to save lives. There was a new spell that was found by the Unspeakables. It only can be used once. It has the ability to bring a person to the time period and age in which they belong. That means that your age or even birthday might change. It would also bring you back in time. By assessing the situation, I believe that I might know where it would bring you, and I expect that you could end the war, early, with the knowledge that you possess."

"So we would time travel?" Ginny asked. Minerva nodded.

"Isn't it illegal?" Hermione asked.

"This will only happen once and it has been cleared by the Ministry," Minerva held up the approval papers.

"I thought that time was fluid," Hermione said.

"It is, but with this spell, it is written over. Everything from this life is still there, but so is everything from that life. It is kind of like an alternate universe."

"Will I see my family again?" Ginny asked.

"Not only will you see them again, but you will save Bill, Charlie, Fred, and Ron. Now, I will ask. Are you prepared to go into the past and change what has happened?"

"If I can save lives, I'm in." Hermione folded quicker than would have been expected.

"Me too," Ginny and Katie agreed.

"Alright then. You will leave tomorrow. That will give you time to say goodbye to your friends, as you know them now. Pack everything that you have. Hermione, take the invisibility cloak and the Marauders' Map. I'm sure Harry will lend it to you so that you may 'do some extra studying for NEWTs'." Minerva suggested.

The girls walked to dinner, as their afternoon classes were over. After dinner, Ginny and Hermione hugged all of those who they would miss. Many people were confused as to why they were being hugged, but assumed that it was a way of grieving the lost.

In the morning, Katie, Ginny, and Hermione packed. Hermione told Harry McGonagall's cover story, and he willingly handed over the items in question. Skipping breakfast, the trio went to the Headmistress' office. Minerva handed them a letter. "To the Headmaster," she said. "Alright. Just remember to defeat Voldemort, and never forget about your lovers. They will be there. I promise. Are you ready?" the girls nodded. "You might feel a slight pull—kind of like a portkey." Minerva trained her wand on the group. "Iter à l'amour." True to Minerva's word, the girls felt a slight tug at their navels, and the room spun. When the spinning stopped, they came upon the smiling face of Headmaster Albus Dumbledore.

"What can I do for you, girls?" Albus asked. A letter was handed to him. He read it, silently.

Dear Albus,

I pray that this finds you, safely. Enclosed in this envelope, you will find a few things. 1st, and most importantly, you will find a letter of the approval to use a certain spell. It is the Iter à l'amour charm, and it is to be used once. This is that one time. The spell is designed to take the person(s) that it was cast upon and send them to where their loves lie. It is also known as 'The Love Spell.' I have reason to believe that these girls will find their loves in the same time. The girls are unaware of this last bit of information. They only know how to change things.

Before you are Ginevra Weasley, Hermione Granger, and Katherine Bell. The 2nd thing that you will find enclosed in the envelope will be letters of recommendation from their Professors, as well as their permanent records. All 3 are in the Order of the Phoenix. I do not know if it has started yet, but you must start the Order. These 3 have the power to stop Voldemort. Use their assets wisely.

Minerva McGonagall

1998

Albus flooed the Minerva from 1975. She came, immediately, and read through the letter. Then, Albus asked them about their time. Hermione talked about the Horcruxes. Katie and Ginny told about the horrors of war.

"I think it would be wisest for one of you to be in Slytherin. Would any 3 of you volunteer?"

Katie stepped forward. "I will, sir." Albus performed special charms to check the ages of the girls. Katie was no longer 19. She was now in her 4th year. Her birthday was the 20th of December. The girl was Slytherin, now. She had the height and weight of a 14-year-old, but the curves and face of a 19-year-old. Her face held the same beauty as before.

Ginny was not a 7th year, anymore. She was in her 5th year as a Gryffindor. Like Katie, she had the height and weight of her 5th year self, but the curves and face of her 17-year-old self.

Hermione was a 5th year Gryffindor. Unlike her best friends, she wasn't a mix of her former and current selves. She looked exactly as 18-year-old Hermione did, with the exception of the loss of ½ inch of height. No one would be able to point out the fact that she looked like an 18-year-old trapped in a 15-year-old's body, but if you were looking for it, you would know. Her hair wasn't bushy, and her teeth were straight.

"We will use the information that you have provided to start preparing, immediately. It will be ready after dinner. For now, you may stay in the portrait of the Quidditch team near the Fat Lady. I presume that you know where that is. Your trunks will be taken there by the elves, and you will have your own elves. Dinner does not start for awhile, so you may wander. The password to the Gryffindor tower is 'I sum bene' and Katie, the password to the Slytherin dungeons is 'la tête du serpent'."
