AN: This takes place instead of the Order of the Phoenix.
The crunching of leaves in the woods. The sound of fast footfalls. The pounding of racing hearts. The panting of lack of air.
The Death Eaters had found them. It was only a matter of time until they did. Voldemort had come back last year. The Ministry hadn't believed them. And now Fudge was dead, Dumbledore was missing, and both the Ministry and Hogwarts were taken over by the Death Eaters.
"Avada Kedav-"
"Stupify!"
"Crutic-"
"Immobulus!"
Two Death Eaters fell to the ground, one knocked out and the other unable to move. Four figures wearing cloaks rush through the underbrush followed by four more Death Eaters.
"Incar-"
"Flipendo!" One of the Death Eaters is thrown backwards into a tree.
The other three Death Eaters corner the four cloaked figures in a dead end.
"We have you now. Master is going to be so pleased with us!" Giggled Bellatrix Lestrange.
The three Death Eaters move closer. But before they can get too far one of the cloaked figures grabs a hold of the other three, holds up their wand, and shouts, "REVERTERE!"
The four cloaked figures disappear, leaving only scorch marks to mark they were there.
...
Albus Dumbledore thought he would never see the day when something surprised him so bad that he would almost have a heart attack right then and there. He was wrong.
He was walking in the Forbidden Forest trying to keep tabs on the creatures in there. There were two days until the first day of school, and if anything was to go by from those troublesome four, he needed to make sure that nothing not too deep in the forest could hurt anyone too badly.
He doesn't notice anything odd until he sees a bright blue flash of light and four cloaked figures fall to the forest floor. It doesn't take very long before the four figures get up, but Dumbledore has his wand trained on them by then.
"Who are you and where did you come from?" Dumbledore asks.
"Crap. What year is it?" One of the figures says. Dumbledore recognizes the voice as a female.
"1974. Who are you?" Dumbledore asks.
The figure that answered him before steps forward and lowers her hood. She then says, "My name is Celestia Krum, and these are my friends Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, and Draco Malfoy. We come from the year 1994."
While Dumbledore processes this information he looks over at the girl in front of him.
She has long black hair that almost goes all the way down her back. Her brown eyes barely stand out against her hair. She has a scar going along the left side of her jaw line and a star birthmark below her right eye. She shifts her feet a little showing her bloody and torn jeans.
"I see. How did you get here if you don't mind me asking?" Dumbledore asks.
"It was Draco's fault really..." Celestia says.
A boy lowers his hood this time. He has short bleach blond hair and chiseled features. He retorts, "How is this my fault? If anything it is yours for saying the spell in the first place!"
A girl reaches up and pulls her hood down. She has bushy brown hair. "Dray please calm down. You were the reason, if I do recall, that we were getting chased by Death Eaters in the first place."
The last one pulls his hood down. He had messy coal black hair and very green eyes. The body of the person reminded Dumbledore much of James Potter. Except for the eyes. He almost had Lily Evens's eyes. "'Mione don't try to convince him. You know he won't listen."
"What spell did you use to get you here?" Dumbledore asks.
"Revertere." Harry says.
Dumbledore sighs. "I have only heard about this spell a few times in passing. I have never researched it because I never found the need to do so. How about you come up to the castle and we will find more things about this spell."
The quartet nods their heads and together, following Dumbledore, they head up to the castle and up to his office.
AN: Revertere is a spell I created that literally means go back or return.
