Lucius was sitting in his study talking to Severus, Albus, Narcissa, Remus, Rabastan, and surprisingly Rudolphus about changing sides when he felt the wards shift around Malfoy Manor. He frowned and tensed up as he looked at Albus. "Albus you didn't give Draco permission to leave Hogwarts tonight did you?"
Albus shook his head and sat up straighter when he saw the way Lucius held himself. "No, I didn't Lucius. Why?"
Lucius drew his wand as he stood up. "Because someone just crossed the wards. The only ones who can do that are those in this room and those who have Malfoy blood or are with someone who has Malfoy blood. If Draco is at school then nobody should be able to cross the wards."
Albus, Severus, Remus, Rabastan, and Rudolphus all stood up and drew their wands. However before they could even move four steps forward they all stopped in their tracks as a large group of people landed in front of them.
Lucius' eyes widened at the sight of all the people who had landed in front of him and the others. His eyes widened even further when his eyes landed on some of the kids that were in the group. He narrowed his eyes and cleared his throat. "Who are you? How did you get through my wards?"
His eyes widened again when one of the young children looked up and squealed "Daddy!"
His mouth dropped open but before he could say anything he found himself with an armful of a girl that couldn't be more than six years old who threw herself at him. He caught her in his arms and struggled to stay on his feet as he looked carefully at the girl in his arms. "Why did you call me Daddy little girl?"
One of the older men who had come with the children cleared his throat. "She called you Daddy because that is who you are to her. I have letters for Malfoy, Snape, Dumbledore, Harry, Hermione, Remus, and Cissa."
At the man's voice everyone gasped but it was Remus who hissed "How are you here? Five of us here saw you go through the veil. Who are you? I know that you are not Padfoot!"
Sirius sighed. "Actually I am Padfoot, Moony. When I went through the veil I was still alive so it spit me back out. However I ended up in another world. The world that I ended up in was also quite a few years ahead of this one. There is quite a bit that was different in the world I ended up in compared to this world. What year is it anyways?"
Everyone's mouths dropped open in shock but it was Albus who finally said "We all need to talk I think. But I think it would be best if all of the children were to be elsewhere while we do."
The girl still in Lucius' arms grinned and called out "Mips!"
Lucius' eyes widened once again when the elf in question popped in. He looked down at the girl in his arms and then at the elf. "Mips will you take the children to the old nursery please?"
Mips eyes widened and she enthusiastically nodded her head. "Mips will do that Master. Comes along children."
One of the other older men with the group cleared his throat and said "Uh Mips there are two babies that you will need to carry with you. They are only three months old."
Lucius', Albus', Severus', Remus', Narcissa's, Rabastan's, and Rudolphus' eyes all widened at that and then they all watched as Mips took both babies into her arms before leading at least twenty-five children out of the study.
Once all the kids were out of the study Albus turned back towards Sirius and said "Now why don't you introduce everyone who is with you Sirius? Also to be sure that you are indeed Sirius tell me something that nobody else would know."
Sirius huffed and rolled his eyes. "You made Snape take an unbreakable vow to never tell anyone that I had him lured to the Shrieking Shack during Moony's transformation. After you had him take the vow you gave me detention for the rest of the school year and made sure that Gryffindor didn't win the House cup that year and that Slytherin did."
Albus nodded and then chuckled at the look on Severus' face. "Did you really think I would let him get away with what he had done to you Severus? I may have been blind and I may have made you make that vow to me but I still made sure that Sirius paid for what he did to you. I wasn't going to make Remus pay for Sirius' bad judgment so since I couldn't expel Sirius without expelling Remus I chose to make Sirius' life a living hell for the rest of the school year. Now Sirius who is it that you brought with you? And why did you all come here? How did you come here?"
Sirius chuckled and then nodded. "I'll start with the easiest. We came to be here by the veil in some ways and by old magic in others. When I ended up in the other world I met James, Lily, Severus, Lucius, Cissa, Remus, Harry, the Weasley's, James jr, Liliana, and a whole bunch of other people. In the other world James and Lily were still alive and they came with us to this world. Voldemort was killed the night that he tried to kill James and Lily and didn't come back to life but Death Eaters still set about killing everyone. About six months ago in the other world the killings picked up again and after Hermione was killed this morning I was asked to get all of the kids and bring them here so that is what I did. The only thing is I brought Lily, James, Regulus who was also in the other world after he got threw into the veil, Frank, Alice, Ted, and Bellatrix with me which are the adults with me. The Albus in the world I was in said it didn't matter if there were two of the same person in the world. He demanded I bring the ones I did with me so that they would survive. I tried to bring Harry with me but he wanted to stay and avenge his wife's death. So I brought Harry's kids, Lucius' kids, Snape's kids, Remus' kids, Lily, James, Regulus, Alice, Frank, Bella, and all of their kids with me that were still alive. As I said earlier I have letters for Snape, Malfoy, Albus, Cissa, Remus, and even one for Hermione and Harry. I was reassured by the Albus in the world that we just came to that even if Snape, Malfoy, and Remus get together with who they were with in the other world in this world that the kids from the other world wouldn't cease to exist. They would just be older than themselves that are born in this world. I also think that it would be a good idea if someone were to give Bella, Alice, and Lily a chair to sit in since all three women are currently pregnant. They need to be off of their feet after the adventure we had in order for us to get here."
With the last couple of sentences that Sirius said Rudolphus, Severus, Lucius, and Narcissa all moved to make room for more chairs and then conjured them. Once they had enough chairs they all motioned for the others to sit down. Once everyone from the new group was sitting down Lucius, Remus, Severus, Rabastan, Rudolphus, and Albus also sat down and then looked at the new group.
Albus turned to look at Sirius again and held out his hand. "Let me read the letter my other self wrote to me Sirius."
Sirius nodded and then after grabbing several out of his robe pocket he found the one with Albus' name on it and handed it to him. "It is charmed to where only you can read it. Your other self did say to read it out loud so that everyone will know what is going on."
Albus nodded and cleared his throat as he unrolled the letter and read it out loud.
Dear Albus,
I know that this must be weird for you to receive a letter from yourself but it cannot be helped. Those that have suddenly appeared in Lucius' Malfoy's study is there at my behest and that of Severus Snape's, Remus Lupin's, Narcissa Snape, and Lucius Malfoy himself. There are letters for others but I have instructed Sirius Black to make sure that you got this letter first. First off let me tell you something that only we would know so that you know that this is a letter indeed to yourself from yourself. You have been married to Minerva McGonagall since the end of her seventh year.
Now that, that is out of the way let me tell you why I have sent Bellatrix Black, Regulus Black, Sirius Black, James and Lilly Potter, Alice and Frank Longbottom, and Ted Tonks to your world or back to your world as it may be. James and Lily did die in your time but they lived in my world. I have ways that I am able to see between the two worlds but after I send this group to you it will be shut off so that no others can follow behind them. In my world Sirius and Regulus Black appeared out of thin air after they were sent through the veil alive. They have both helped our cause here.
You may be wondering why Lucius' Malfoy's kids are there and it is simple really. His wife was killed this morning by a group of Death Eaters and he wanted them to be sent some place safe and some place where they will still have their Mother. Harry Potter also sent his kids with Sirius and the others because his wife was also killed this morning. I will not say who their wives are but suffice to say both Harry and Hermione will know in your world as soon as they get the letters that were sent with Sirius.
Voldemort tried to kill the Potter's but it back fired and he was killed in this world. We knew of the horcruxes and have already destroyed them in this world. I have sent a list with Sirius so that you know what they are and where they are so that you can destroy them in your world. Bellatrix LeStrange was a spy for the light side in my world and I have sent her to your world because she is now pregnant and I will not have her hurt on my watch. I do know that your Bellatrix has died or will die at the hands of Voldemort shortly and you must allow this to happen so that when someone goes back and tells him that they have seen Bellatrix he will not take it seriously. Make sure that Bella, Alice, and Lily all get the care that they need since they are carrying children within them.
I need for you to go to Hogwarts as soon as you read this and check on Hermione Granger. She will be attacked tonight and if you don't get to Hogwarts as soon as you are done she will die and she must not die. I hope that one day my world will also become your world but that will not happen if your world cannot join the light and dark like we did in my world. Although while we have joined our light and dark as one we still have rogues which are the people responsible for the deaths that happened today. I beg of you to do as I ask.
Sirius, Regulus, and James will introduce each kid to you all later after you make sure that Hermione is still alive. I will tell you that you all are in for one heck of a shock or two.
Forever me,
Albus Dumbledore
As soon as he was finished reading the letter he quickly stood up out of his chair and looked at Severus, Lucius, Rabastan, Rudolphus, Remus, and Narcissa who all had wide eyes and he shook his head. "I will be back as soon as I can. I must get to Hogwarts so that I can make sure Miss Granger is alright."
He didn't wait for anyone to respond instead he made his way over to the fireplace as quickly as he could. As he stepped inside the fireplace he was surprised to see that James, Regulus, Severus, Rabastan, and Lucius were standing behind him. He didn't say anything instead he quickly called his destination out. He had no doubt that the others were following behind him.
~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~
Hermione was laying on the cold floor of the dungeon and groaning as she tried to move but couldn't. Her whole body was racked in pain and she knew that she was losing quite a bit of blood. She knew that if Draco or someone else didn't come soon that she was going to die right where she lay. She couldn't believe that he had done what he did to her. She couldn't believe that one of the people she trusted most hurt her the way he had and then left her to die.
Her voice was hoarse from all the yelling that she had done so when she heard footsteps coming her way she couldn't even yell for the person. Her eyesight kept going black and he head was killing her. She knew that she was on the edge of losing consciousness and she could no longer put up a fight to stay conscious. She heard someone yell in shock and she blinked her eyes trying to get them to focus when she saw Draco standing over her and looking down at her in horror. "Draco."
Draco couldn't believe the shape that Hermione was in when he found her. He dropped down to his knees beside her and gently moved her hair off of her face as he started shouting for help. He felt the cold air and looked up and sighed in relief when he saw the Bloody Baron. "Go and get Blaise and Pansy from the Slytherin common room. I can't save her on my own."
He didn't even wait to see the Baron float away before he looked back down at Hermione and said "You stay with me Granger! Damn it you stay with me!"
Hermione lost the fight to stay conscious as she heard Draco screaming at her. The last thing she heard before her world went dark was someone screaming and several people cursing.
~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~
Pansy and Blaise got to Draco as they heard him shout "Wake the bloody hell up Granger! You can't die on my watch! I'll kill whoever did this to you."
They both screamed as they saw the state that Hermione was in but before they could say anything to Draco they turned quickly with their wands held out in front of them when they heard several people curse. They lowered their wands when the saw that it was the Headmaster, Severus, Lucius, Rabastan, and a couple other people they didn't recognize. They didn't even say anything about the fact that Rabastan and Lucius was there. Instead they moved to the side to let the adults through.
Draco looked up when he felt a hand on his shoulder. He let out a sigh of relief when he saw his Father and Godfather along with the Headmaster, his Uncle Rabastan, and two people he didn't know but thought that he recognized. "She was like this when I found her. I tried to keep her awake but she blacked out. You have to help her."
Lucius squeezed Draco's shoulder and then pulled him up with Severus' help. "We will help her Son. Do you have any clue who could have done this to her?"
Draco frowned and shook his head. "Tonight was her night to patrol with Weasley. Ever since she got that first note she has been patrolling either with Potter, Weasley, Blaise, Pansy, or me. I don't even like her patrolling with Weasley for some reason but she said everything would be okay."
Lucius nodded but didn't say anything because at that point James and Regulus stood back up from where they were looking Hermione over and James said "We need to take her back to the Manor with us. She has not only been attacked physically but she was raped. I will pay for a Healer for her. It is nothing against Madam Pomfrey but I would feel better if Lily and I could keep a close eye on her personally especially since she was attacked here at Hogwarts."
Albus nodded and then looked at Severus. "Is it okay with you if we bring her back with us? If it is we can just use Severus' quarters to floo from."
Lucius gave a curt nod. "That is fine Albus. However I do think that we should allow Draco, Blaise, and Pansy to come with us. After what they have seen they deserve answers as much as the rest of us do."
Albus sighed but nodded and then looked at Severus, Lucius, James, Regulus, and Rabastan. "Who is carrying her? I don't think that we should use magic on her until we have her laying on something soft."
The five men nodded and then James said "I'll carry her. I really don't feel up to dealing with Alice's, Lily's, or Bellatrix's temper if something more were to happen to Mia."
Draco turned to his Father with wide eyes as he snarled "Why did that man mention Aunt Bella, Father? You can't let her near Granger! She will just finish what whoever did this to Granger started. I will not allow Granger to be killed if I can help it! I don't care if I have to go against you Father or anyone else I will."
Rabastan chuckled and cut in and said before Lucius could say anything "Just come with us Draco. Once we are back at Malfoy Manor I promise everything will be explained. I also promise that Bella nor anyone else will harm or kill Miss Granger."
Draco sighed but nodded and then followed behind the Headmaster, the man carrying Hermione, the second man he didn't know, Rabastan, and Severus. He walked in between Blaise and Pansy with his Father walking behind them. He wasn't sure why but he knew that Hermione would be safe. He kept quiet as he followed his Godfather into his quarters. He didn't say anything as he watched the man carrying Hermione step into the fireplace and disappear followed by Albus, his Uncle Rabastan, his Father, and the other man he didn't know. Once the second man he didn't know floo'd away he stepped in and called out his destination. He had no doubt that Pansy would come right after him followed by Blaise and then Severus.
As he stepped out of the fireplace and into his Father's study his eyes widened in shock at what he saw.
