~Stranded In Southampton~

Southampton England, April 9th 1912

They all landed hard on some grassy hill. It was night time and the moon shone brightly, illuminating the purplish blue sky. "Ow!" Ginny squeaked.

"Ergh!" "Argh!" Ron and Seamus groaned.

"Oooh!" Neville yelped.

"Aaaa!" Hannah screeched.

"Uh!" Hermione whined.

"Dear me!" Luna exclaimed.

"My leg!" Harry complained.

"Damnit!" Draco grumbled.

Everyone brushed themselves off and managed to get up, that's when they noticed where they were. On top of a large grassy hill overlooking an old city at Merlin knew what time of the night.

"Er, where exactly are we?" Hannah looked nervously at Neville.

"I dunno, erm Hannah-look at your dress," Neville stuttered, afraid and confused.

Hannah looked down "Merlin's beard!" she exclaimed. Instead of seeing the sparkly gold dress she'd been wearing she now saw a puffy white blouse and long raspberry colored skirt. She looked at Neville "Erm-look at yourself..."

Neville looked to see that he was now wearing teal colored corduroy trousers, a white shirt, and khaki suspenders. "What the-?"

Harry and Ron looked at eachother "Holy mackerel!" they exclaimed. Harry wore khaki corduroy trousers, a maroon shirt, and black suspenders while Ron wore navy blue corduroy trousers, a white shirt, and brown suspenders. "I look like my grandfather!" Ron complained, snapping his suspenders.

"You think that's bad? Look at us!" Hermione exclaimed, indicating herself and Ginny. Ron bust out laughing, causing Harry to elbow him hard in the ribs. Hermione was wearing a simple rose colored dress and Ginny wore a simple honey colored one, but the dresses went all the way to their ankles and stockings could be seen underneath, the same went for Hannah and Luna's skirts. Also, the dresses had full sleeves and a full chest area-they were completely covered.

"It's not all bad, considering we must have gone back in time," Luna said. She was wearing a puffy white blouse like Hannah and a long sapphire colored skirt. Seamus shrugged "Atleast they're comfortable," he said. He was wearing gray corduroy trousers, a light blue shirt, and khaki suspenders.

All the girls had their hair in a tight bun. "Atleast it isn't hot outside..." Ginny said, referring to her dress.

"We all look ridiculous!" Ron complained.

"Not all of us," Malfoy's snooty tone came out of the blue, they'd almost forgotten he was there.

"Whoa! No fair!" Ron grumbled. Draco was wearing a shiny black evening suit, his hair was slicked back, and his loafers were perfectly polished.

Draco smirked "Even back in time, wherever we are, I'm richer than you Weasley."

Ron rolled his eyes "Shut it."

Just then Hermione's face fell "Er, is anyone else missing their wand?" she asked nervously.

"Of course not-" Ron started, his jaw dropped after he'd checked all of his pockets and even his shoes and couldn't locate his wand. "Er-nevermind."

They all quickly looked for their wands, no such wands could be found. "Oh this is great!" Seamus groaned.

Draco slapped his forehead. "Oh wonderful! Don't you gits remember what I told you? Shacklebolt put a spell on the stupid portkey so if anyone tried to use it without permission they'd lose their magic wherever they time travelled to!"

Harry stomped his foot. "Damnit! Well-where's the portkey?"

Seamus shook his head "It's no use mate, I don't see the damn thing anywhere!" he groaned.

"Oh goblin piss," Ron muttered.

"Language Ronald!" Hermione snapped. Ron ignored her.

"So wait, we're just stranded here then? Without our wands?" Ginny asked nervously.

Harry facepalmed. "Yeah, pretty much."

"So-erm, how do we get back?" Neville stuttered. Hannah's eyes widened.

"Er, well, honestly I have no clue," Harry admitted.

"I have an idea!" Luna exclaimed suddenly. Everyone looked at her eagerly. "If we're stranded here, we may as well go and eat something."

Ron slapped his forehead. "That's your idea? I thought you had a way to get us out of here!" he grumbled. Luna shrugged "Hard to think or be creative on an empty stomach Ron, isn't it?" Ron rolled his eyes. "Can't you summon some thestrals to bring us home?" he muttered under his breath. Hermione elbowed him hard in the ribcage.

Seamus put his hand on Ron's back. "She's got a point mate, there's really nothing else we can do right now," he said.

"Hey let's go check out that town at the bottom of the hill, I'm sure they have tons of pubs and taverns," Hannah suggested.

"Good idea," Hermione agreed. They all walked into the small, dimly lit town. "I do believe we're still in England," Hermione mused, looking at the tiny shops and such as they walked past. "Oh now I feel loads better," Ron said sarcastically. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"Hey guys, looks like an inn and they probably have food!" Seamus exclaimed, pointing to a larger building illuminated by a street lamp.

Neville squinted "Yeah, let's go inside," he agreed.

"Here you guys go ahead, I want to see if I can find a newspaper somewhere-you know, so we can figure out where we are exactly and what year it is," Harry told them. "Hermione, Ginny, and I'll go too," Ron offered.

"Okay meet you back here!" Seamus called as Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione walked off in the opposite direction.

Neville linked arms with Hannah and walked towards the inn, Seamus and Luna followed. Draco reluctantly slouched behind muttering to himself. Once inside they were immediately greeted with the overwhelming smell of cigarette smoke, alcohol, and body odor. "Ugh!" Draco cringed, crinkling his nose.

The pub was spacious inside with several wooden tables and chairs and a full bar. It was dimly lit however, as the only source of light was from a simple chandelier on the high ceiling and a few candles scattered around. A few people sat around smoking, drinking, and playing cards.

"Erm, excuse me-" Neville walked up to the inn/pub keeper.

"Ah, hello!" An elderly man with a gray mustache and gold rimmed spectacles greeted them.

"I know this is a stupid question but erm, well, we aren't exactly from here-where are we? This is still England right?" Neville asked nervously.

The old man let out a hearty laugh. "Still in England, you're a funny lad, eh? Why a' course still England mate-you're in Southampton."

Hannah sighed in relief. "Do you have any rooms?" she asked.

"Of course ma'am! Plenty of rooms! Plenty of rooms! Would you lot like to sit and eat first?" the man offered.

"That would be lovely," Luna chimed in.

"Of course! My name's Harold by the way, if you need anything I'm always up front," the man told them, grabbing some menus and leading them to a table.

"Thanks. I'm Neville, this is my girlfriend Hannah and our friends Seamus and Luna. And this is Draco. We've got a couple more coming also," Neville said.

"Pleasure! Pleasure indeed! I'll bring some menus for your friends when they get here," Harold smiled, walking away.

Hannah looked at Neville "He kinda reminds me of Tom," she said. Neville grinned "Yeah, definitely."

They all glanced at their menus, even the food was different. "I dunno, I guess I could just get mashed potatoes, I'm not that hungry-" Seamus mused. Neville nodded "The beef doesn't look too bad," he commented. Draco scoffed "I can't eat any of this! It's peasant food!" Hannah rolled her eyes "If you're hungry you better, not much else to choose from.."

Just then Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione came bounding through the door. "Guys!" Harry shouted, waving a newspaper as they jogged over to the table and sat down. "Yeah?" Seamus asked. Harry set the newspaper in the middle of the table, they all leaned in to read it;

9th April 1912

The White Star Line's most prized vessel to date takes off tomorrow at noon; The Unsinkable RMS Titanic bound for New York City!

Neville's eyes shot up to meet Harry's. "It's...1912?" he stuttered.

"Er, yeah, afraid so," Harry said. Ginny, Ron, and Hermione nodded in agreement.

"Oh now what?" Draco groaned. Then his face twisted as if he remembered something and he looked directly at Hannah. "What was the last thing you said to me before I accidentally grabbed that portkey?"

Hannah thought for a second. "I believe I said I didn't want to touch you because your personality is colder than the iceberg that sank the-Titanic," her face fell in realization. "Oh..."

Draco nodded. "So the portkey must have taken us here because you said that, we didn't give it any other directions on where we wanted to go, since the whole damn thing was a bloody accident-" Hannah rolled her eyes "Get to the point!" she snapped. "-isn't it obvious? Maybe the portkey is on the Titanic!" he finished.

Harry looked at him. "Wow, when did you get so wise?" he asked in disbelief.

"Yeah honestly I thought Luna would be the one to say that," Neville admitted.

Draco rolled his eyes "Whatever. But anyways-" he started but was cut off when Harold brought more menus. "I'll give the rest of you time to look over the menu, I'll be back shortly," he said before walking away again.

"Draco's right, I think this may be the only way out of this," Luna said.

Seamus looked at Hannah "You just had to say Titanic didn't ya?" he grumbled.

"Hey don't blame me! It was Malfoy who grabbed the portkey!" Hannah snapped back defensively. Neville shot Seamus a dirty look.

"Well it if it wasn't for you all messing around!" Draco said angrily.

"Shut it! All of you! There's nothing we can do now so let's look over the menus so we can order," Ginny snapped, they all shut up and went back to reading their menus. Harry grinned at Ginny across the table.

Just then Harold came back. "Ready to order?" he asked.

"Er, yeah. I'll have the roast beef with a side of mashed potatoes and rice, and a beer," Ron said.

"Same for me," Harry added.

"Vegetable soup, and a glass of red wine if I could get it," Hannah said.

"Erm, can I just get the fish and chips and some beer?" Neville asked.

"Same," Seamus added.

"I'll have the chicken noodle soup and a cup of tea would be great," Ginny said.

"Shepherd's pie and a cup of tea," Hermione said.

"I'd also like fish and chips, and a beer," Luna said.

Harold looked at Draco. "For you sir?"

Draco scoffed and was about to say something obnoxious and rude but Hermione kicked him under the table. "Er, just a bowl of rice if I could get it, not really that hungry," he said.

Harold smiled, collecting their menus. "Should be out soon," he said before walking off again.

"Hey guys!" Seamus exclaimed suddenly.

"What?" Neville asked.

"Look what I found in my pocket!" Seamus said, placing something on the table. It was a ticket. Neville leaned over for a closer look;

Draco eyed him suspiciously. "Why isn't my name listed with the rest of you?" he asked.

Seamus shrugged "Dunno. Check your ticket."

Draco checked his pockets and sure enough, he too found a ticket. It read;

"How come he gets first class?" Ron grumbled, reading his own ticket. The rest of them would be travelling in third class, or steerage.

"Because I'm still richer than you Weasley! Even here!" Draco smirked.

"Well atleast we know that we do in fact need to board the Titanic," Hermione said.

"Yes, but it sinks!" Ron pointed out.

"Dunno. It just seems like we have to get on it, its our only way back I'm afraid," Harry said.

"And if it sinks? Hello we don't have our wands here Harry!" Ron argued.

"Look, we can talk about it in the morning. We don't even have luggage or anything," Harry told him. Ron crossed his arms "Fine, but I'm not promising getting on that thing!" he grumbled.

Finally, Harold came back with their food. "Enjoy! Then come back up front and I'll show you to your rooms," he said brightly.

"Thank you," Hermione said politely. Harold walked away.

"Let's just eat fast, I'm tired and the sooner I sleep the better," Ron muttered. They all ate as quickly as possible then went up to the front desk. "Aye, so how many rooms will we need?" Harold asked.

"Er, 2, if you could get all 9 of us a bed," Harry said.

"Sure thing lad," Harold smiled and led them all up an old rickety staircase to the top floor. They walked down a dimly lit hallway with candles along the walls and faded emerald carpeting. Finally they came to rooms 346 and 348. "Here we are, each room has two beds and a sofa," Harold told them.

"Thanks," Harry nodded as Harold handed him two room keys.

"Nightey night!" Harold called, walking back down the hallway to the stairs.

"So how exactly are we splitting this up?" Draco asked with a sarcastic tone.

"Simple. Guys in one room, girls in the other, and Malfoy-you get the sofa," Harry smirked at the last part.

Draco rolled his eyes "Whatever." Ron, Seamus, and Neville snickered as Draco grabbed the room key for 348 and stalked inside, tossing Harry the key back.

"Goodnight Ron," Hermione said tiredly pecking Ron's cheek. "Night," Ron mumbled, following Seamus and Malfoy into the room. "Goodnight all!" Luna said as she and Hermione went to open the door to 346.

Neville kissed Hannah goodnight. "See ya in the morning Han," he said before going into his room. "Night Nev!" Hannah called, going into hers. Harry and Ginny were left alone in the hallway...

"What's takin' Harry so long?" Seamus asked irritably after Neville climbed into bed opposite him. "Dunno," Neville mumbled, half asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. "Ron go check!" Seamus said.

"No, I'm reading this newspaper for a second, then I'm going to bed," Ron said. He was perched on the bed already, and Draco took the sofa. "Fine, Malfoy go check!" Seamus said. Draco scoffed "Please, like I'd go looking for Potter."

"Oh fine!" Seamus said, getting up to do it himself. He opened the door to find Harry and Ginny making out. "Oo-la-la!" he teased. Harry and Ginny pulled apart, blushing just as Ginny's door opened. "Time for bed Ginny!" Luna said. Seamus laughed.

"See you tomorrow Harry," Ginny giggled, following Luna into their room.

"Come on, lovebug," Seamus teased, shoving Harry through the door to their room. "You get the bed with Ron, Neville's with me," he told him. Harry nodded "Okay. And Malfoy's on the sofa?" he asked with a mischevious grin. Seamus laughed "Yeah." Malfoy grunted in response.

Harry climbed into bed, opposite the sleeping Ron. "Night guys..." he mumbled, drifting off himself. They would have to figure out the whole Titanic deal in the morning.
