Summary: What to future holds is a mystery. Those who are friends may be enemies, those who you once fought against, may fight along side you, and those who you hold nothing but resentment for may be the ones that you hold most dear to your heart.

Prologue

"Students, please sit down." McGonagall's voice alerted the students to her presence. The students all sat at there house tables wondering what exactly was going on. Earlier the day all sixth and seventh years were told to meet in the Great Hall at 2 P.M. sharp for an important meeting.

"Now, that I have your attention, I will start this meeting off. The headmaster and I have called you hear today to tell you about a wonderful opportunity that the ministry of magic has seen fit to give you. Most of you know about the creation of the Tempus Navigare, or the Time Traveling Portkey."

By now every student was listening intently to everything there professor was saying. Information on the Tempus Navigare and its purpose had been released that summer in the Daily Prophet. "Although it has been tested and we are assured that it completely safe to use, the Ministry would like to further test this new devise to ensure it is absolutely ready to be used by the wizarding world." She continued. "Because of this need for further testing, they have allowed us to send the sixth and seventh year students 18 years into the future using this device."

All around the hall people started talking excitedly about the news they had just been told. "May I have you attention please." The voices in the hall became silent as Professor Dumbledore stood at the front of the hall. "This will be a great opportunity for everyone. But there are a few things that you must do while on your visit to the future. First off, you will be there for the remainder of the school year, which means you will still be attending classes as you would if you were here. You will be returning two days before the end of school so we can make sure you are all safe and give us time to take care of any problems that may arise upon your return.

"In addition, every month you will write a one foot essay on what you have learned about the future and about your future selves and families." The students throughout the hall sighed in irritation. "Ah yes, you didn't think it would be all fun and games now did you?" he chuckled. "There are also a few other things you should be aware of. We do not want to interfere with the natural course of our lives. One must make decisions using what they have learned and what they feel is right. Therefore, to ensure that our futures stay the same upon your return, you will forget most everything you have been told in the future. I know thins may be disappointing, but you must understand, If you were to remember everything of the future, you may not make the same 

decisions, and that would have dire consequences. You will however remember what you have learned in your classes as well as a few other things. Please do not try and mess with the course of fate. On another note, every decision you make in the future will be of great significance to. If you break the rules that have been given to you, either by me or those of the future, you will be severely punished.

"On a lighter note, I do hope you have a good trip, and be sure to make wise decisions. I shall leave you with these words: situations must be understood before accusing someone of a crime, people change, and love and friendship can be found in the most unexpected places." With that said he sat back down and Professor McGonagall stood back up.

"Your stuff has already been sent, so you do not need to worry about that. You will be leaving in 10 minutes time. You will be arriving there at the beginning of their welcoming feast at which time the rules you will abide by will be explained. Enjoy your trip."

As soon as she was done talking the students started to chat once again, as they stood up and went to the lines they were supposed to be in to receive their portkey.

"Isn't this exciting Harry. I can't wait." Hermione Granger said to her black haired friend.

"Oh yes, just wonderful." A cold voice from said behind them. Harry, Ron, and Hermione turned around to see the sneering face of Draco Malfoy. "But I must ask you Potter, aren't you worried about showing up 18 years in the future only to find out that your dead?" The Slytherins behind Draco all laughed.

"Shove off, Malfoy. If anyone would be dead in the future it would be you." Ron Weasley sneered at the blond haired boy. After saying that Ron, Hermione and Draco's Slytherin groupies all left to their lines, leaving Harry and Draco alone.

"Do you think it will be better in the future? The fighting, I mean, will it still be going on?" Harry spoke for the first time, gazing hopelessly at Draco.

"I don't know, Potter." Draco said smiling a little at the boy in front of him. "I didn't know you wanted to end the fighting. If I had known that, who knows, maybe we would be friends right now." Harry laughed and smiled back.

"Don't exaggerate." Harry examined Draco. "You've changed." Harry stated.

"You've changed me." Draco replied.

"What do you mean by that?" Harry asked the boy truly lost as to what he had done to bring out this side of Draco's personality, when all he had seen in the past was the nasty Slytherin who hated him and his friends.



"You'll see in time." Draco said and walked away, leaving Harry alone to join his friends in line. As Harry took hold of the portkey, he only hoped that whatever the future held for him, he would finally be happy.
