October 2003
Draco malfoy groaned as he woke up. Beside him his wand kept buzzing , he moved towards it , flicked it to stop. He gathered his surroundings, his empty dorm consists of one bed, a desk and chair and attached bathroom with a closet. He reached for his shirt , which seemed cleaned, and put it on and made a beeline for washroom.
After he came out. He made his way to breakfast, as he walked he watched , the once grand mighty school that stood with its magical glory was now in ruins due to the war caused by voldemort. professor Flitwick the new headmaster of hogwarts insisted that it should remain like this, so that new generation should know where they came from and what happened during war as living proof.
His post as a potions teacher was offered to him at the eve of new millennium, he accepted it immediately. As hogwarts was mending, certain subjects were included, a new schedule, houses were just reserved for quidditch and dinners otherwise everyone were free to mingle with each other as freely as possible. With one comman room unity was shown everywhere.
Draco was well liked by his students, they were the children who lost their parents in war and were practically orphan , draco himself payed their tution fee and help them to guide.
every month another subject was included, that subject was a muggle course, it was activity basically, the children loved learning from this subject, it could be either muggle or wizard, they kept changing the subjects everytime for new things to learn.
Draco remembers one subject , where he was introduced to pen, a muggle writing quill, he had taken muggle studies before but he never paid attention in that class. He was thrilled to find out it doesn't blot ink from keeping on prachment too long.
Then there was weird sisters band project , where members of weird sisters helped them to understand wizard music, draco became quite popular with girls when he came on to guitars and piano.
The most horrific was moving screen with pictures moving constantly was telly, he never ever heard of this before, but it fascinated it to him, he watched muggle soaps and music on that telly.
Now on the schedule list was drama class. Draco knew what that class meant, he had been to his fair share of theaters and operas himself when he visited muggle London. So for this he was pretty much excited.
The students practically were excited about this class, they heard lots of stories from draco during meals, draco explained how people perform in front of live audience and how costumes and lines and expressions help them to act, his hand gestures explaining the production while others watch in awe.
Draco really hoped he was selected for drama class, he had read muggle literature and wizard and pretty much understood what it takes to create drama.
With this demand he went to flitwick , who shook his head.
"what ? why? You know I have been to these things and I know everything why not me?"
He asked flitwick
" iam sorry draco but it seemed like we already have hands full of production and everything , you just need to act ". Flitwick said.
" act? How iam supposed to act ? I have never acted in my life , I thought the children would do that". Draco was surprised to know he was supposed to act , he never acted only watched.
" the children are included , this drama will be presented in front of entire wizard world, you and another person has been picked for the main roles it will be celebration of joining the muggle and wizard world alike and to cover hogwarts expenses ". Flitwick spoke through his eyes.
" what kind of expenses, I can help , I have money we don't need entire wizard world to pay for this". Draco spoke frantically.
" that is very generous of you but iam afraid that it's already been decided and students are eager".
Draco led out a loud sigh and before walking he asked who the other cast member was
Hermione granger was the answer.
Hermione granger was late, late for meeting at hogwarts, her fiancé Ronald weasley took too long showers despite knowing she has to go early, after the war the two moved in the burrow and despite her decision to take rent a flat , ron refused to leave his mother.
Its not like she minds living in burrow but it would be nicer if they had their place of their own just like harry and ginny who were married now and a baby along the way. It would been nice to their house in a home.
She rushed past molly weasley who made her eat the toasts and milk before she rushed out and quick kiss on the cheek she flooed to hogwarts.
She knew there was a drama project , she herself send the request to be selected. She really was excited for wizarding world's frist ever production of theater, as a kid she loved art and was glad to see wizarding world accepting the muggle traditions a bit.
She made her way to flitwick 's office , where flitwick was out but Dumbledore smiled from his portrait and told her to go to great hall.
She missed that man.
As she walked , she saw flitwick informing them about the course and was introducing the concept when all eyes were on her.
Now she was a war hero , she was considered as celebrity, her work as healer in st mungo's was famous, people always demanded her for their children's treatment and she did free of cost.
They were smiles and gasps and surprises, Hermione smiled to them and professor flitwick whispered for her to take a seat on grand table.
There she saw a blond head, barely listening a word , was picking up his breakfast like bored man, Hermione knew draco malfoy taught potions but she neither like nor disliked the man.
He had grown up, his hair was cropped in stylish way, he grew taller than before, making into more manly form than a lanky boy she once knew, the confidence and arrogancy was still there but his eyes were softer.
As he heard her thoughts he turned and saw her, a slight surprise on his face and then he turned away.
Hermione presumed it was disgust.
Even after 4 years the wizarding world had time to move on from war, there was lot of anger in the war , lot of rage , people still were prejudiced but only a few remained like that , many gave in and accepted half heartly that their views no longer matter.
As she was thinking, flitwick informed her that she has been cast along with draco malfoy.
Now that was a problem , draco malfoy wasn't pleased at all neither was she, but flitwick's strict orders were to comply and tolerate.
So here they are, in stage of grand hall, the chairs and tables were removed, both had been handed the script and after quick view they decide to test them.
And they were perfect.
The students acted side characters, older students were easily selected while younger ones learned about how it takes to be a drama.
The script was an original play written by half blood wizard called Jeffery olwood, he was quite dark writer, his writing style heavily describing the muggle and wizard world as equals.
He wrote in the era of 1900 , he described how muggle England was back then and wizard world.
His play was called Elizabeth Wright.
A young girl suffering through damage of two worlds, she is a muggle who fell in love with a wizard who hid his indentity, and never told her of her heritage.
Hermione was thrilled to Elizabeth Wright but draco malfoy had other ideas,
He thought script was sloppy , he was meant to play the pureblood wizard named Edmund Welligton , Son of Mason Welligton, one of the richest wizards and a playboy.
The Welligtons were wealthy family , took pride in their blood, just like the malfoys but co operated with muggles in means of trade despite their rules of mingling with someone inferior than them.
Draco never knew it would be granger, or he would have asked for someone else if flitwick hadn't given him strict orders.
Despite her know it all attitude she wasn't so bad.
He knew he had an amazing chemistry with her , for she was the only one who gave smart answers to his insults.
Their day of act came and two set of from the top.
After few lines draco felt bit dizzy , he asked to sit down , after a while he came back and started again.
But after few lines , he felt something heavy , and the whole room was getting warmer than he thought, Hermione voiced her concern which he brushed it off and continued.
But no longer after a while , as he spoke he felt change around him, as certain magic was taking place. He looked at Hermione who seemed as uncomfortable too but it didn't voice it, carried on.
But during 25th try he blacked out.
And when he woke up , he wasn't at hogwarts, there was no grand hall, nor students not flitwick nor Hermione there.
He was in middle of stony road , he saw wizards going on. How the hell he end up here? Where was he?
Suddenly there was a voice
' Sir ! what are you doing ? you need to get into your carriage !" an elf came wearing a red coat.
Carriage? Elf in red coat ?
"where iam I ? " he asked the elf.
" why the knocktern alley sir, you came here last night with your friends and spent night here" the elf squeaked.
" what are you talking about?"
" Sir wellington your mother expects you soon, please get in carriage". The elf gestured towards the carriage.
"iam not sir Wellington , you can give up the sick game if you think iam fooled".
The elf could only gape at him, draco turned around and saw the oddest outfit he wore in his life.
He was wearing wizarding robes allright but it was nowhere madam malkin's design, the collar was tight around the neck , he wore some kind of boots and ruffled shirt underneath , there was pocket designed for wand and another for a sword, he had a hat with a feather embodied on it.
How did he change into this?
The knocktern alley wasn't dark at all, it was bright and cheery , people were going to and fro like nothing happened , they all wore same clothes as him , the woman wore skirts underneath the cloaks , draco never witnessed the weirdest moment than this.
" where is Granger?" he demanded the elf
The elf was taken aback.
" oh poor master he has taken ill, he must be out of the sun right now".
Now draco was getting angry , if he was in this madness where the hell was Granger, surely she felt those sensations too, she must be around here.
He tried searching in crowd but no good, Granger wasn't found.
He returned to his elf. Disappointed
Draco was nothing but tired. He wanted to sleep .
His carriage was made of wood and gold, with large W in the front.
As he entered he saw plush velvet matriel it was made of, kind of like his grandfather's carriage.
"what year is it?"
He asked the elf.
As the carriage begin to move by horses .
The elf replied
"1900 my lord".
Please review.
