Here's chapter 2 of Meet the Potters. This one has been edited as well a bit more than the first chapter though. I was planning on updating yesturday but I fell asleep, cuase I took shop till you drop very literally, haha. But enough of my talking.
On with the new and improved chapter 2! :)
The eight teens soon found themselves falling, and landing, painfully. "What in Merlin's name was that?" yelled Ron. The others groaned, as they got up off the floor. Did I mention that it was a wooden floor?
"I don't know, but I don't think we're in Kansas anymore." Hermione said trying to find a door. Every pureblood in the room looked at her like she was crazy. She rolled her eyes. "Never mind, it's a muggle saying."
"Where are we then?" Ginny asked.
"I think were in the Room of Requirements." Luna said. Clover looked over the room and saw a newspaper sitting on a side table next to a red couch. She walked over and grabbed it….then she screamed.
"What's wrong?" Blaise asked running over to her followed by everyone else.
"Look at the date." They did, and it said Thursday, September 3rd, 2016. They just stood there for a while.
"We need to see Dumbledore." Harry said. The others nodded and they all ran out of the ROR and towards the Headmasters office. The kids in the corridors at the time looked at them like they were crazy. Harry, who was in front, suddenly stopped. Everyone behind him crashed into each other. "Does anyone know the password?"
"It's Dumb Dumbs." they heard a voice say from behind them. They turned around abruptly to see Professor Snape standing there. He looked slightly older but the years had actually been kind to the snarky man. His eyes widened as he looked closer at them. "What the- Draco what are you doing here? And why are you 17 again?"
"What do you mean again?" Draco asked confused. Clover rolled her eyes.
"He probably thinks you're the Draco from this time, stupid." she whispered as quietly as she could. Though not quietly enough since Severus had heard her.
"Oh Merlin! Why does it have to happen now! Go all of you." he said pointing at the office entrance which had opened when he said the password. The eight teenagers and the older professor walked into the office. When they walked in Harry noted that nothing in the office had a significant change, maybe a new trinket here and there, but not much. He looked over at the desk and saw Professor Dumbledore watching them, smiling, his blue eyes twinkling with hidden mischief.
"Why hello everyone. Lemon drop?" he asked. They all shook there heads. "Very well then. Severus, please send a letter to all of them, make sure it says that they are here." Severus nodded and left for the Owlry. Harry furrowed his eyebrows.
"Wait a second who's 'them'?" he asked the question that was on everyone's mind.
"Them' is your older selves." Dumbledore responded. "We knew this was going to happen at some point so we came up with a plan for when that time came. Which just so happens is today." They all looked at each other.
"What is this "plan" professor?" Hermione asked.
"The plan is that you are to take on different allies and befriend your future children. Then you will go to Malfoy Manor during winter break when they throw there semiannual Christmas Ball. Every one of your future selves will be there." He decided not to tell them that they were also in danger of ruining there futures because they were with the wrong people. He also decided not to tell them that they hand no idea how to send them back. "Any questions?"
"What will our new names be?" Luna asked.
"Let me see…" he began looking through his desk. "Ah here we are. Your older selves had picked out your names ahead of time. Let's see Harry's new name is James Evans, Hermione's new name is Jean Garner, Draco's new name is Abraxas Malloy, Clover's new name is Siena Kings, Blaise's new name is Devon Zorn, Ginny's new name is Molly West, Ron's new name is Bilious West, and Luna's new name is Nebula Allbetter."
"That's clever." Hermione commented.
"What do you mean by that?" Harry asked.
"Those are all our middle names."
"Yes indeed. They assumed it would be easier than creating completely new names for all of you." Dumbledore said.
"Will we have to be sorted again?" Ginny asked. Dumbledore nodded.
"Most likely, though some of you may end up in the same houses you were in before. Speaking of changes I'm going to have to change your appearances. Line up in a single file line please." They all complied though Draco chose to be a pain in the butt and complain.
"I don't see the point in changing our appearances, who's going to recognize us? It seems as though everyone already knows where we came from." he said.
"I know a good couple of people who would recognize you that don't know you came from the future." Dumbledore answered.
"Like who?"
"Your children for instants." Dumbledore said his blue eyes twinkling. That shut Draco up as he turned a pink color and Dumbledore began changing some of their more noticeable features.
Harry was first and had his scar covered, and reluctantly his eye changed to blue. Draco's hair was turned black and he was given a tan. Ron's freckles were removed and his eyes were changed to a warm light brown. Blaise was given an American accent and his skin tone lighter.
Ginny's hair was turned a dark dirty blonde. Clover's light brown skin tone was made darker and her light brown hair shorter and curly on the ends. Luna's eyes were changed to green and her blonde hair was put in a bob. Then lastly Hermione's hair was straightened and her eyes changed to smoky grey.
"Now all of you will be in special quarters that I have set up for you and you be staying there for the semester that you will be here." Dumbledore said. They nodded, left his office and went into the back entrance of a room that was located on the side of the Great Hall.
"You will stay in here till your name is called and you will come out, and sit with your new house. Then return here after dinner so I can take you to your new rooms. Understood?" he said kindly. They nodded and he walked out of the room.
Clover walked over to a mirror as everyone sat down. She groaned. "I wish he hadn't change my hair." she complained. Her hair used to go down to her waist, now it just barely hit her shoulders. Draco came up behind her, put his hand on her shoulder, and smiled.
"You look fine to me Clover. Short hair works for you." She smiled back.
"Thanks Draco. You don't look to bad yourself." she said, and then she kissed him on the cheek and walked away. Draco sighed. Blaise would kill me if he found out I liked her way more that a friend, he thought sadly. Meanwhile Harry was talking to Hermione.
"Wow! Dumbledore did a really good job with my scar." he commented running his hand over where the scar was. He couldn't even feel it anymore.
"Yeah it suits you well Harry." she said smiling. Ginny noticed them talking and walked over to them.
"I agree with Hermione, Harry. You look great." she said smiling, but Harry noticed a glint in her eye when she mentioned Hermione.
"So please welcome them into what ever house they end up in. They will be admitted as 7th years by the way. Professor Potter if you will." they heard Dumbledore say from outside the door. Harry furrowed his eyebrows. Did he say Professor Potter?, he thought. Soon he heard his "name" called and he walked out of the room, everyone wishing him luck silently.
Well there you go, I hope you enjoyed it, but a good way to tell me if you did is by reviewing because I love them soooo much! I will update this as soon as I can cause I'm two chapters ahead of schedule so that is good for both you as the reader and me as the writer. Ta-ta for now my lovely readers!
