Disclaimer~ I don't own Harry Potter. Or any of Joss Ware's idea's that i'm sort of borrowing. Not any plot lines or anything though. Just a couple ideas.
Harry Potter and co. dissappeared a few days into the summer after Harry's fifth year. 70 years later they wake up in the ruins of an unfamiliar city. They're found by a young man who claims to be a friend and brings them to a place called Virtue City. Where they learn that Voldemort has disappeared and a group called 'The Pure Ones' have taken control. And that there's no getting back to their own time.
Chapter 1 We're WHERE?
Harry shifted tiredly groaning at his stiff muscles, 'Where am I?'
'And why do I feel like I slept on the floor?' he groaned again rolling onto his back and flinging out his arm to stretch his aching muscles. A muffled yelp of surprise made him sit up quickly in shock. Ginny Weasley rubbed her nose moodily as she glared up at him.
"Thanks for the morning nose bleed Harry," she grouched tiredly in a scratchy voice.
Harry frowned looking around shadowed bodies lay scattered around the strange place.
It looked almost like it used to be a building. But it was run down and covered in vines, and moss. And there was no ceiling.
"Ginny where are we?" Harry asked nervously, in a cracked raspy voice.
Ginny frowned looking around in confusion she looked back at him with a nervous look on her face, "I- I don't know."
A clattering noise made them turn. They watched Ron pop out of a pile of rubble, he shoved a mossy log away from him coughing a dirt swept into the air.
"Ron!" Ginny gasped climbing stiffly to her feet and stumbling over to help him.
A groan was heard to his right and Harry turned to see Hermione sitting a few feet away rubbing her head.
"Hermione!" he rasped before trying to clear his dry throat.
Hermione looked up in confusion before gasping and clumsily making her way over to him. She hugged him tightly tears streaming down her face.
"Harry," Her voice cracked as well, though that might have been from her emotionally state.
A shocked yell broke the moment causing them to turn to the commotion.
Ginny Weasley had her wand pointed at a rumpled looking Draco Malfoy.
"Malfoy," Harry rasped in shock.
Draco's head snapped over to him and he glared, "Potter."
Harry shivered at the scratchy sleep heavy voice. He had no idea why but he did.
Ron kicked at a figure hidden from Harry sight and Blaise Zabini and Pansy Parkinson appeared looking confused, angry and tired.
"What's going on!" Harry demanded in his scratchy, albeit a bit husky voice.
He saw Malfoy shiver slightly but brushed it off.
"I'll tell you."
The teens jumped and turned to see two young men they didn't recognize and three people they did.
"Tonks, Remus! …Snape?"
The potions master scowled at him but nodded curtly.
Ginny frowned at the two young men, "You look kind of familiar?"
"I'm Samuel Weasley," The first man. A man with brown hair and creamy white skin, his hazel eyes shone seriously as he looked down at them. He was wearing dark green army printed cargo pants and a white wife beater with a shark tooth necklace and combat brown boots. The most shocking part was the rifle strapped to his back, his wand hung loosely in his hand, and a wand holster strapped to his right thigh.
"And I'm his cousin, Lucas Weasley," The second man. A Sandy blond man with tan golden skin, with laughing blue-gray eyes, and a small silver hoop in his ear. He was wearing gray army printed cargo pants and a black wife beater with a silver medallion necklace and black combat boots. The most shocking part was the two swords strapped to his back, his wand hung loosely in his hand, and a wand holster strapped to his left thigh.
Pansy smiled seductively at them, "I'm Pansy."
The two boys raised an eyebrow, glanced at each other the busted out laughing.
"Mrs. Parkinson it would be wise to refrain from flirting at the moment," Severus advised solemnly.
Pansy pouted, but nodded.
"Weasley?" Ginny asked skeptically, "I've never seen you at any of the family reunions."
Lucas grinned, "Course not Aunt Ginny, we were born back then."
"Dammit Luke, we were trying to break it gently," Samuel barked.
Ginny shook her head in confusion, "Wait you two look older then me? What do you mean?"
"Let's just say that the last time your eyes were open it was 1996 but right now its 2066," Lucas grinned cheekily.
Ginny's eyebrow slowly rose as she looked at them skeptically.
"It's true" Remus nodded solemnly.
Tonks looked around cautiously, "Sam you said something about a city?"
"Yes Virtue City, it's a small ways away from here, about a half hour away," Samuel mumbled rubbing the bridge of his nose as he glared at his cousin.
Tonks nodded, "Come on kids, let's go."
"All of you," Severus looked sternly at the three Slytherins.
The teens stood and followed the adults as they walked through the nature covered ruins of the city.
After five minutes Ron broke the silence, "so how are you related to Ginny and I?"
Samuel chuckled, "George is my granddad and Fred is Luke's Granddad."
"The twins got married?" Ginny asked in disbelief.
Samuel shrugged, "A lot changed after the ten of you disappeared. Especially when the change came."
"The change?" Pansy asked hesitantly.
Lucas nodded seriously, "Seven years after you all vanished. Strange things started happening. Muggle electricity went out, earthquakes began, storms raged, it was awful or so I've heard. After three days people just started dieing, for no reason they just fell to the ground dead. After everything was over so few people were left both muggle and magical alike. We all came together to try to survive. Magic may have been exposed but with all that happened that's hardly a problem magic would have died out with how few people had survived."
"We can't say how many people died in those three days the number of deaths was earth shattering. Now hardly anyone leaves the safety of Virtue city or where ever they live." Samuel sighed.
"Where is Virtue City?" Hermione asked curiously.
Samuel chuckled, "It was once Liverpool in your time."
"LIVERPOOL, THAT'S A MUGGLE CITY, I-" Draco yelled in disgust only to be cut off by Samuels hand.
Sam's eyes flashed wildly, "Are you trying to get us KILLED?"
"Anything could be out here. Trolls, Basilisks, Dementors, or even Zombie's. No not Inferi, Zombies, Zombies are new and their completely different from Inferi. Zombies still have their teeth and they're sharp. They aren't afraid of the sun or fire and the only way to kill them is to decapitate them. The downside… they're impervious to magic." Sam hissed.
Draco's eyes were wide and fearful, Sam sighed, "If I let you go will you promised not to scream or anything?"
Draco nodded rapidly and Sam slowly released him.
Once Sam let go he latched onto the nearest person and refused to let go. Harry looked down at his newest attachment and side, "Bloody hell Malfoy, let go."
Draco looked up, as there was a six-inch height difference between them, and shook his head rapidly.
Harry sighed looking up at everyone, his embarrassment obvious.
Pansy had latched on to Ron who was blushing furiously. And Ginny and Hermione were suspiciously closer to Blaise.
Harry sighed, "Let's keep walking."
Draco whimpered as Harry took a step, Harry sighed before awkwardly wrapping his arm around Draco's shoulders and urging him along.
They walked in silence for a long while before anyone spoke again.
"So what happened next?" Ginny asked.
Sam smiled, "Well, one brave man, a muggle if you'll believe it stood up and proclaimed that everyone needed to band together if we wanted to survive, he lead the survivors to safety and practically built Virtue city."
"Who was he?" Harry asked curiously.
Luke and Sam glanced at each other, "Oh you'll meet him."
"He's still alive?" Harry asked in shock.
Luke nodded, "He was hit by a curse on the first encounter with the watchers, they managed to save him but an odd side effect was he stopped aging."
"The Watchers?" Blaise asked.
Sam answered this time, "They're unidentified wizards that patrol the deserted grounds for survivors to take back to 'The Pure One'. Don't ask what happens to them. No one who been caught has ever come back. That's another reason you all need to be quiet."
"We're here."
They stood at the foot of a long huge run down building.
Sam stepped in first looking cautiously around before waving for everyone to follow. He led them to a door to the staircase and led them down. They followed him down a long hall until he stopped beside a pile of wood boards leaning against the wall. He shifted them aside and knocked three times on the brick wall beneath it.
A brick shifted and then disappeared as someone on the other side pulled it out.
"Who is it?" Someone asked suspiciously.
Sam smirked, "Gemini and we bring guests they're trust worthy I swear it on my soul."
"Sam, Luke, your back!" The wall shifted in and to the side allowing them entrance.
"I thought it was a city?" Tonks frowned.
Sam nodded, leading them in, "It is, but this is the only way to get in and out otherwise the wards displace you and you can't find it."
Everyone stepped through, Luke bringing up the rear as he moved the boards back into place.
The group gasped in shock. The place was similar to what they'd seen outside. Buildings run down, but some of them looked lived in and fixed up. The area they were standing in was the back of the destroyed building they had entered but it looked to have caved in on this side and they could see the sky.
Sam and Luke hugged the guy guarding the door, "good to see you Dalton," Luke smiled.
"You too boys, going to see Lee?" the old man asked.
The boys nodded solemnly, "It's important business."
Dalton nodded seriously, "you tell that man to slow down, or he'll run himself into the ground. He may not age but he's not completely immortal you know."
The boys nodded gesturing for the group to follow them, "He in the tavern?"
"Where else?"
Sam chuckled and led the way.
They walked through the ivy and vines that hung from rusted old streetlights. Until they reached a small short building that looked like it barley had one floor left. They walked down the in ground stairs and brushed aside the curtains revealing a bar like room. That looked like an old saloon only bigger.
Sam looked around before grinning, "Gabby!"
A young girl of about 16 turned, she had platinum blonde hair that rivaled Draco's and porcelain skin, with a light dusting of freckles over her nose, and pale blue eyes she could almost be Draco's sister if not for the fact that she looked so much like Ginny in everything but the color.
"Sam! Luke! Your back!" she hugged the two boys tightly before turning curiously to the 'strangers'.
Luke chuckled, "Guys this is our cousin Gabriella Weasley, she's Bill and Fleur's Great Granddaughter.
Gabriella gave them a confused look before turning back to them.
"No time Gabs where are old man Lee and the others?" Sam asked.
Gabby waved off to the corner and Sam nodded heading in that direction. The others followed.
"Old timer!" Luke called.
A man with shaggy blond hair and bulging muscles turned slightly, "How many times do I have to tell you not to call me that brat. I swear Fred your grandkids got no manners."
An older gentleman with pale red hair huffed, "Tell me about it, if only Abigail could hear him, Merlin she'd smack some sense into that boy."
Luke rolled his eyes, "You make it sound like Grandma Gail's dead pops, she's at home waiting for you."
"How would you know boy, you never visit anymore," The old man accused jabbing a wrinkled finger at him.
Luke sighed heavily, "I'll stop by for dinner sometime soon geez."
"Who said anything about dinner, now your just inviting yourself into my home, bloody hell boy no manners at all!"
Luke floundered for a moment, "Bloody hell old man what do you want from me?"
"My grandsons love, that's what, Merlin I'm so UNLOVED!" the old man wailed.
An almost identical old man next to him slapped him upside the head, "Oi pull yourself together Fred, did you take you potions this morning?"
"It's obvious he forgot to take them he acting like a maniac," Luke huffed, turning scarlet from embarrassment.
"Fred? George?" Ginny gasped in shock.
The twin old men turned curiously.
"Oh Merlin the dead people are back," Fred wailed jumping up and running off.
George sighed heavily, "Sarah will get him."
He turned back to Ginny and smiled, "Hello milady, you look just like my little sister did you know that?"
"Oh George," Ginny sobbed launching herself at the old man.
Lee was sitting sideways in his seat examining the 'strangers' closely.
He paused on Harry, and then gasped, "Impossible," he breathed.
He stood slowly, "Harry?"
Harry frowned looking at the man. He looked kind of familiar. Though the scar on his eye had to have been acquired sometime around the change. His eyes were blue, but the scar across his right eye suggested he had almost lost one of his eyes.
"Do I know you?" Harry asked hesitantly.
The man nodded, "It's me… Your cousin."
Harry gapped in shock, "DUDLEY?"
The man winced, "Yes, but I go by Lee now."
"You're the man who saved all these people and practically built this city?" Harry breathed in shock.
Dudley, or Lee, nodded smiling fondly at the people mingling around the tavern.
"Though I wouldn't go that far, I just gave some ideas," Lee smiled modestly.
George snorted in disagreement, "We'd have all died without you mate, or been captured."
Lee frowned, "your all smart people, someone would have thought of it if I hadn't."
George raised an eyebrow, "Maybe in a decade or two after we all died or been captured."
Lee rolled his eyes turning to the two Weasley cousins, "Where'd you find them?" he asked looking back at Harry in amazement.
"We're really in the future aren't we?" Hermione asked breathlessly.
Sam and Luke nodded solemnly.
"About a mile toward Basilisk burrows their lucky they weren't closer to the nesting grounds or we might not have found them." Luke offered.
Lee nodded, solemnly "good job boys, head on home your mothers are worried sick, and I'm sure your fiancé wants to see you alive and well Sam."
Sam nodded and patted Remus' shoulder before following his cousin out of the Tavern.
Lee nodded to the chairs around the big table indicating for them to sit. Harry sat beside him with Draco sitting on his other side, the blond still refused to wander to far away from him.
Lee just looked at Harry for a few minutes before giving him the biggest shock of his life and hugging him.
"I've missed you cousin," he leaned back and smiled slightly at Harry.
Harry frowned, "I thought you hated me?"
"I thought I did too," Lee admitted, "Until you saved me from the Dementors, I tried desperately to think of a way to thank you or contact you for the rest of the summer. Finally I went to Ms. Fig, her niece Clara was visiting her, she was a pureblood witch. I asked her how I could get a hold of you. She told me about the court trail and I nearly cried with relief when she told me you won. She tried to help me get a hold of you but nothing worked. I talked to her and kept in contact with her all year and she gave me whatever information she could on you. That's why I was visiting Aunt Marge when my parents went to get you from the station and that's why they dragged you with them to pick me up. When we couldn't find you I nearly died from worry."
"So what happened to Clara?" Pansy asked curious despite her.
Lee smiled, "We got married."
"You married a Witch?" Harry asked in disbelief.
Lee chuckled, "total shocker right?"
Harry nodded silently.
Lee held up a finger grinning "one second."
He turned and scanned the Tavern, "Harley, Ian, get over here."
Two boys wandered over looking confused.
One looked about nineteen the other fifteen, the nineteen year old was tugging a ten year old girl along with him.
"Yeah Gramps?" The nineteen year old asked brushing his brown hair out of his blue eyes.
Lee rolled his eyes, "Manners Harley, learn them."
Harley rolled his eyes as well, "Fine did you need something?"
Lee smiled picking up the ten year old girl and pulling her into his lap, "Hello Minnie."
The small brunette giggled and hugged him tightly her gray eye dancing with laughter, "hello Papa."
"Harry these are some of my Grandkids. This little angel is Jasmine Dursley, and her rude older brothers are Ian and Harley."
"How am I rude," the fifteen year old, obviously Ian, complained.
Lee waved him off smiling at Jasmine, "Say hi to uncle Harry Minnie."
Jasmine smiled brightly up at Harry, "Hi Uncle Harry, welcome to Virtue City."
Harry felt warmth spread in his chest as he smiled at the small girl. She was short for her age but her bubbly energy more then made up for it.
Lee raised an eyebrow at the boys, "Well?"
Harley rolled his eyes, "Hello Harry, pleasure to meet you mate."
"Hello Harry, welcome to our city," Ian nodded respectfully.
Lee frowned slightly, "Where's your cousin?"
Harley shrugged, "Lana's running errands for mum."
Lee's eyes turned sharp, "Alone?"
Ian scowled, "Course not, Wes Kyler's with her."
Lee nodded after a moment, "Alright when's wolf getting back?"
Harley's stance became serious, "Any day now, it only takes a max of three days to get to Token city he's been gone five days, so tomorrow night at the latest.
Lee nodded, "good, good, you can go on home now, I'm guessing Hailey sent Ian and Minnie to pick you up?"
Harley rolled his eyes and nodded.
Lee chuckled and kissed Jasmine's cheek before putting her down and waving goodbye.
"Now as to where you all will be staying. Since it's getting late I'll show you where we have some open homes." Lee waved for them to follow him as he led them out of the Tavern. He walked a little was down the road until he came across a villa that looked to be in pretty good shape.
He led them inside.
"Okay there are seven bedroom's total in this place so the younger kids will live here, there's a livable condo next door that you three can live in so you can have some peace and quiet. Mr. Lupin?"
Remus turned to him in surprise.
"I'll ask Harvey come see you later today about your lycanthrope problem. A new potions been invented that suppresses the change completely. Unfortunately it's not permanent so you'll have to take it every month or else you'll turn into a werewolf on the full moon." Lee smiled slightly at Remus' gob smacked expression.
Remus swallowed thickly, "so I won't…"
Lee shook his head, "as long as you take the potion you stay human through the full moon."
Severus looked just as shocked.
Harry grinned at his second godfather, "Hear that Remi, no change on the full moon."
Remus nodded slowly.
"Well why don't you teens get settled while I show these three to their new temporary home?"
The teens nodded and waved as the adults left.
They looked at each other before racing off to find and claim the best room.
Well tell me what you think so far? should i continue? If i don't get any reviews or enough reviews i'll know not to continue.
