J.K. Rowling's characters
Albus Dumbledore sat behind his desk, his arms neatly folded and eyebrows slightly raised.
"And you three are?"
---
Hermione swiftly moved to one of the chairs in front of the headmaster's desk. She sat down gracefully and poised herself with her head held high.
"Thought as much." She grumbled, her lips pinched and eyes wandering the office.
Ron raised his hand from where he stood at the door. A stubby finger pointed at Dumbledore.
"How?… Ho-…No, wait. You're…You're dead. You are dead! What the BLOODY hell is going on."
"Ronald, calm down and sit. Harry, close your mouth and sit in another chair." Hermione snapped before turning back to Dumbledore. "Professor, I'm terribly sorry but we have a lot of things to explain."
"I dare say you do." The man said leaning back in his chair, his blue eyes now sparkling.
"Hermione, what's happened?" Harry whispered, seating himself next to Ron.
"We've been sent back in time." Hermione calmly said. "Professor, may I ask for the date."
"It's the 29th of August 1977"
"1977" Harry breathed out, his eyes wide as he did the math.
"Sir, do you mind if I show you a pensive, I fear explaining it all will take far too much time."
"I'm sure that's fine." Dumbledore answered.
"Harry." Hermione asked.
Harry got up on his friends request and went over to the door where he knew Dumbledore's pensive was.
"I see you are all ready acquainted with my office."
Harry turned sharply in surprise at Dumbledore's comment.
"Er… sorry sir. I wasn't really thinking."
"No, no, go ahead."
Harry turned back to the pensive and focused his memories on everything he knew- from the knowledge of his parents death to the prophecy, from the chamber of secrets to Voldemort's downfall. He handed the pensieve to Dumbledore who looked through the memories.
Dumbledore took his head out of the pensieve.
"Well, that was interesting."
"And that was the biggest understatement of the year." Ron retorted.
Hermione and Dumbledore raised an eyebrow at him.
"You understand, Mr Potter, that your parents are starting their seventh year at Hogwart's."
"Yes sir."
There was a small silence, while the three shuffled uncomfortably.
"Sir, I was wandering if you recognized the spell that sent us here or perhaps know how to send us back."
"I'm afraid I don't, never seen anything like it. Now, time travel is a very difficult subject, moving forwards in time is nearly nigh impossible compared to going back. However, seeing as you have already come back, we simply need you to return. The spell used, will have to be reversed in order to send you back, but seeing as we don't know the spell, I believe you're pretty much stuck here."
The three blinked at Dumbledore's calm response.
"Well, what are we supposed to do?" Ron asked.
"I suggest you settle down. Start a new life. Do some research in getting back whilst you can."
"So, just leave everything behind."
"I'm afraid so. If you would like, you can stay at Hogwarts and attend your seventh year."
Harry swallowed. He was completely split This was the chance of a normal life, but in this world, Voldemort was still out there, but then again the prophecy hadn't been made. He looked to Hermione and Ron who were leaving their families behind. Ron leaned over and grabbed Hermione's hand, giving her a supportive smile.
"We'll stay." Hermione said.
"That's wonderful. Now I'm afraid that Mr Potter and Mr Weasley will have to change your appearance and last names, for both of your parents are well known in the school. How does Harry Prendon and Ronald Weller sound to you? Good? Good.
For your appearance, I suggest a shop in Diagon Alley called the Rabbit Ears, they have an excellent sense of today's fashion. I'll introduce you tomorrow to the school at the end of the sorting ceremony, I assume you'll all be going to Gryffindor?"
"Yes sir." They all replied.
"Right well, here's a key to a spare vault in Gringott's, you may use the money from there. And one more thing"
Dumbledore paused, looking over the three.
"You must not interfere with the past, do not tell anyone of your history, do not take any actions to change the future. Do you understand?"
The three vigorously nodded their heads.
"Right then! Off you go, through the floo. Here's your school supplies list. Have a nice trip." And with that, Dumbledore shoved the three into the fireplace, sending them off to the Leaky Cauldron.
