PLEASE READ THE AUTHOR NOTE BEFORE PROCEEDING!! THANKYOU.
A/N: InfiniteXsandOs & Killtehcricket here on our first collaborated Fan fiction for Harry Potter due to a spark of inspiration brought on by some brilliant stories that I InfiniteXsAndOs have been reading on here, making me ask myself why can't I have an awesome story like that? This idea has probably been done a few times before but we wanted to try our own take on it.
I'm making an estimate that this story will be around 20-30 plus chapters, we're going to try and have long chapters and aim to upload around once a week, this of course depends on the amount of readers and reviews we get, the quicker we get reviews the quicker we'll upload, so if you do like this story please, please, please be sure to review! Anyway without further ado the show must go on!

Back To the Past. The Misty and Chester Chronicles
Chapter 1
Misty's Point Of View.
"Misty? Misty? Wake Up!"A burly unfamiliar male voice called, a firm hand gently slapped the side of my face, I opened my eyes slowly, they blurred whilst trying to adjust to the bright morning light, my head throbbed and my back ached in pain, I didn't even have a clue where I was Or who all these mysterious people were crowding around me, I rubbed my eyes briskly with the back of my hand, my eyes adjusted on the swarm of what appeared to be school students peering down at me, what the hell's going on? I looked around the circle of people once more and into the face of a rather familiar and proud face, where had I seen this guy before? His blank eyes stared at me sharply making me feel quite exposed; I winced slightly trying to sit up as that annoying throbbing pain took hold in the rest of my joints.
"Steady now, you wouldn't want to end up in the hospital wing now would you?" the man's voice chuckled gripping my shoulder to support my frame, "Where am I?" I breathed, this man did not look recognisable in the slightest, and he looked a little intimidating. "Why you're in care of magical creatures, which if you'd of been paying care and attention, you might have still been standing!" he scolded softly. I looked at him dumbstruck, did he really just say care of magical creatures?
"Erm, excuse me mister..."
"Professor Custodis." He answered, whilst pulling the most god awful "I-think-I'm-the-messiah-of- teachers" look on his face. "But you already know that."
I frowned but decided to continue anyway. "Right well whatever you're called," I replied, "Where's my little brother?" I finished.
The strange man laughed. By now the whole class was focusing on me, making me feel uncomfortable. "Chester is in Defence against the Dark Arts class under Professor Lunar, apparently there duelling today." A wide smile spread across the professor's face.
Wait, Defence against the Dark arts? Professor? A wand that I just found in my pocket? Could it be?
Am I... At Hogwarts?
I decided to pretend that I knew what was going on till I met up with my brother.
"Oh yes, I remember. I said shaking my head supposedly at my own foolishness. Sorry, I hit my head a little hard there." I lied, I couldn't let them know that I had no idea what was happening. "I think I may need to go to the hospital wing, if you would please let me?"
Professor Custodis frowned at me unconvinced "The hospital wing hey? Alright, you may go. Mr Riddle, if you would care to take Miss Grindelwald to the hospital wing?"
I flinched at the sound of what was apparently my surname. Miss Grindelwald? Who the heck was I? And Riddle... Lord Voldemort? I stared at the proud face I found familiar earlier on and, not to my surprise, he stood up and walked into the hallway, beckoning for me to follow him. As I left the room, he spoke to me in the most charming voice. "My pleasure" he smirked darkly, after we got a little further from the class, Riddle picked up his pace almost immediately "The hospital wing is this way. Hurry up." He started to walk away even faster. I grabbed his shoulder and he turned around abruptly.
"I want to go to my brother... Fuck the hospital wing." I told him.
He raised an eyebrow at my unladylike language and replied, "The head girl shouldn't be lying and skipping class. Are you sure you are Misty Grindelwald?" He said almost jokingly.
I ignored what he said, I didn't have time for this I had to find Chester and make some sense of this mess. "Look, I'm really confused at the moment, my memory is fuzzy. And you Mr. Riddle are not helping."I said whilst prodding him a little repeatedly in the shoulder He stared at me darkly, which was not a good idea, considering who this guy would become. Realising my mistake, I continued slowly trying to make my voice sound as quiet and sweet as possible. "So if you would be so kind could you please show me to Professor Lunar's classroom?"
"...Very well. Follow me. He said slowly once again picking up the pace, he stopped and turned around quickly yet again "Oh and by the way, tell your brother we have a meeting tonight." I frowned as he again changed direction and carried on walking, A meeting?
I stopped for a split second. And then it hit me, My brother was a death eater?
Chester's Point of View.
"Expelliarmous!" I was hit with a disarming spell as I lost focus at the sound of the door opening. Professor Lunar, as I heard the other children call her, frowned at me.
"Are you sure that you are feeling well Mr. Grindelwald? You are usually top of the class; it isn't like you to perform this badly." She said almost worriedly, everyone in the class was looking at me confused, Way to compliment me there....
I felt like shouting at her, "What the hell would you do in a situation like this? In what appears to be Hogwarts with people you don't know in the middle of a duelling session?" Instead of that, I just said that I didn't feel very well. So far I had figured out I was a prodigy rumoured to be the next Gellert Grindelwald, who also happened to be my father. It turns out my sister was also a genius, and head girl, but not to my extent.
Professor Lunar then turned to the door. "Ah, Miss Grindelwald, Mr. Riddle, how nice of you to join us." I pivoted on the spot toward the doorway and sure enough stood my sister and a boy who seemed to have an arrogant air about him, Riddle did they say...?
The boy answered smiling at the professor. "Headmaster Dippet wished to see Grindelwald immediately."
What would the headmaster want me for? Isn't Dumbledore the headmaster? I remember Dippet as an old headmaster mentioned in the Harry Potter books... Not that this little message was unwanted, I needed a reason to leave this ruddy classroom and here it was.
I turned and grinned at the professor. "Well..." I began coughing a little to make my voice clear. "It looks like I have to go. It was really a pleasure to see all you fine fellows today, but duty calls. Love you all, bye!" I trailed trying my hardest to rush out of that godforsaken classroom to a more welcoming hallway, my inner thoughts crumbled all too quickly though as I was brought back to earth with a bump when I felt the hand of a very confused and slightly pissed off professor Lunar stopping me in my tracks.
"Hold it right there Mr. Grindelwald!" She said her face twisted into a frown,
"You have got to be kidding me?" I thought. what was it now, another insult to my intellect?
"You aren't getting off without any homework!" she said sternly.
Thank God, she thought that was my reason for rushing out. I faked a disappointed face and replied, "Darn!"
She seemed satisfied with my show and told me I had to write a two foot piece of parchment on the uses of a phoenix against the dark forces. Not really the sort of thing to teach the supposed son of Grindelwald, is it?
I said my thanks and left the room quickly. I looked at my sister to see her deep in conversation with Riddle. I wonder what he's on about.
Misty's Point of View
I could see my brother from me. He looked like he was almost running to escape the room, and I couldn't help but stifle a laugh. My brother doesn't run from anything... except school teachers apparently.
It was only then that the seriousness of the situation started to hit me again and my mood changed frantically. It was scary to think that we were in what appeared to be Hogwarts. And just saying that made me question my own mental stability. Just who is it that wakes up in a piece of fiction? I couldn't concentrate on the scene at hand, not the faraway sound of an irritated Riddle beside me, or the glance of my confused brother as I think he came to realise just exactly what I had. And then suddenly another horrifying concept hit me like a freight train at full speed, Tom Riddle! We weren't in the present anymore, no.
Somehow we'd not only travelled into a book, but also back in time. It was the only explanation for Tom Riddle to still be in school, Hogwarts as we knew it was no more.
"Misty?" Riddle said, snapping his pale fingers in front of my face in a frantic manner. I looked up at him a little dumbstruck; I knew that he had been talking to me, I'd just not been able to form what he was saying, as my mind was too preoccupied. "You didn't hear a word of that did you?" he asked quite angrily.
I shook my head lightly," I'm sorry Tom what were you saying?"
He sighed dismissively. "Never mind Misty, never mind." And with that took to walking away slowly, just as Chester came into my company. "Where are you going?" I shouted whilst Chester stood looking back and forth between me and Tom.
"I'll see you in the dorms later I suppose." He said waving his hand in a nonchalant manner backwards and walked right out of my view.
"What the hell was that about?" Chester said a look of complete bewilderment plastered on his face, I leaned back against a wall of the hallway, closing my eyes tiredly. I shrugged my shoulders defeatedly. He sighed flinging himself into a sitting position on the hallway floor. "Misty what is going on?" he whispered worriedly.
"I don't know..." I said pulling him off the hallway floor, "I just woke up here."
Chester's face frowned significantly as we began walking slowly down the hallway,
"I'm going to take a wild guess that Professor Dippet doesn't need to see me?"
I smiled slightly, "Nope that was Tom's quick thinking, apparently we are the heads of year..." I trailed.
"Nice" Chester said sarcastically, "Professor Dippet was an old headmaster, if we'd just gone into the book wouldn't Dumbledore be in charge?" he continued I shrugged again.
"That's the thing Chester, I think we are in Hogwarts, but we have gone back in time." I said waiting for his reaction, he stared at me a little gobsmacked but not as shocked as I had thought he would be, it was amazing how quickly we'd grasped the idea and accepted it, we were in Hogwarts, we were back in time about 50 years and we were magical. Speaking of magical...
"Our surname is Grindelwald!" I practically shouted at my brother, he nodded quickly "Gellert Grindelwald must be our father then." He stated looking up to me as we continued walking. Suddenly I had an idea, like a light bulb flashing above my head. Dumbledore was good friends with Grindelwald, when they were younger, maybe they were still in touch and if they weren't then it would be stupid if he didn't at least keep tabs on his old friend, all we had to do was find Dumbledore and tell him about what had happened to us, and see if he had an explanation for it, Dumbledore always had some sort of way to sort things out.
"But Misty you have to have some idea, you always have an answer don't you? You always help don't you?" He retorted his eyes flailing with bemusement. As we made our way into the doors of the great hall "For once Chester," I began sitting down on a bench at the Gryffindor table, leaning on my right hand "I don't know how to help us."
Tom Riddle Point of View
I shook my head at the sight of the two Grindelwalds sitting at the Gryffindor table. Why they'd decided to sit there was beyond me. It was strange seeing them on that idiotic table, a part of me was actually angry, they were after all Slytherin putting shame to my ancestor's house, the great Salazar Slytherin. It's not like me to forgive such ignorance so easily, but even I can't deny how useful they will be to me. I began to eat from the table, thinking on an empty stomach was never a good idea, and the tasty aroma of the warm food helped to make up my mind.
Chester is a prodigy in the eyes of Dumbledore; he'd even gone as far compare the kid to me. Can you believe it? Comparison between a mere child and me the future Lord Voldermort. Maybe he'll have to be disposed of in the future, but for now, he is a necessary asset to my Death Eaters. Even I must admit that the child had unforseeable potential. He shan't get to maximise it before i have finished using him though.
And then of course there's Misty. Misty, Misty, Misty... Arguably gifted, she would also be valuable, she'd never join though. She's too sophisticated to follow, or maybe she's just scared... Scared of what we all will be up against in time. And that's a weakness I cannot afford to have. She is safe for now. But I don't care whose daughter she is. If she gets in my way and interferes she will die! I suddenly realised how angry I had gotten judging by the breadroll I'd smushed to smithereens in my hand, I wiped my hands quickly and gave a reassuring smile to my slytherin companions who seemed taken aback by my actions.
I can't help but feel a little weird about earlier; she's normally a lot more attentive, more focused.
Hmm... Maybe I'm just being slightly suspicious; she's been a useful acquaintance as head girl, I should probably give her a break. Whatever's wrong with her, I can be sure I'll get to the bottom of it.
And it isn't just her... Grindelwald... Was he actually losing in a duel? And the way he acted towards his teacher...
I will find out what is going on...
One way or another...
