In another dimension Chapter 2
Disclaimer: I do not own anything that has to do with Harry Potter except the plot and the next generation from the 'Alternate Universe'
A/N: Some characters who died in HPDH canon DID NOT die in the alternate universe. Also Lily Luna Potter is left behind on purpose and will be in the story later on. This chapter is a lot longer than the first because there's a lot of information that Rose, Scorpius and the Potter brothers learn from the first few people they meet.
Chapter 2: A lot of Information
Rose groaned. When she opened her eyes she saw a pair of hazel eyes looking at her. She jumped in surprised, "Oh, I'm sorry," the person, a girl with long black hair and the owner of the hazel eyes said. "I was just checking on you. What's your name? I'm Jasmine." Jasmine smiled.
Rose stared at Jasmine before answering 'strange…' Rose thought 'she looks like James' Rose looked even closer to Jasmine's face. The girl had a tan skin color and freckles all over her nose and cheeks.
"I'm Rose." She finally said. Causing Jasmine to laugh. Not understanding what made this girl laugh, Rose asked her what was so funny.
"We are both named after flowers and your name happens to be my favorite flower!" Jasmine said, jokingly.
Rose smiled too, uncertain of what to make of the girl in front of her. Then Rose started to look around the room they were in. Beside the single bed she was laying in, there was a bunk bed at the other end of the room, closest to the window. "Where are we Jasmine?" Rose asked.
"We are at the Burrow and in the room I share with my cousins Hannah and Heather when we sleep over. This room was also my mother's childhood bedroom." Jasmine said, looking around as well.
"The Burrow?" Rose questioned. 'That's the same name as my grandparents' house. What is going on here?'
Before Rose could question Jasmine further, there was a knock on the door. Jasmine got up from the chair and went to open it. Rose was shocked to see her Aunt Ginny coming in to the room with a tray.
"Aunt Ginny?" Rose asked. 'She looks like Aunt Ginny…same red hair….same amount of freckles…even the same brown eyes…'
"Hello dear, I'm glad you're awake. Your cousins and friend have been asking if you were a wake." Ginny Potter said with a smile. "I will be back with the boys so they can tell you what is going on." Then she turned to Jasmine. "Jas, in the meantime could you fill her in please, until I come back." Jasmines nodded in understanding.
"Sure mum, I've already told her where we are." Rose stared at Jasmine in shock 'Jasmine called Aunt Ginny mum…but how is that possible' Rose thought, trying to figure out what was going on.
"Thank you, sweetheart." Ginny said as she left the room.
As soon as Ginny left the room, Rose question Jasmine on everything. "What is going on Jasmine? Why did you call Aunt Ginny mum when Aunt Ginny has only one daughter and that's my cousin Lily."
Before answering, Jasmine sighed. "I was going to wait for mum to come back to answer your question." Jasmine paused to sit back down on the chair beside the bed Rose was currently on. "I guess I should tell you now. Do you remember anything before you past out?"
Rose thought for a moment. All she could remember was seeing her cousin James and his friend standing over a caldron, putting ingredients in to it, then a loud BOOM and then waking up to see Jasmine…
She told Jasmine this which made Jasmine give Rose an odd look. "You somehow came to a different universe." She paused again to let Rose take in the information.
"I'm sorry but what?" Rose asked with one of her red eyebrows raised. "You expect me to believe that I somehow came to a different universe, that's impossible Jasmine."
This time Jasmine raised one of her black eyebrows, imitating Rose, "Yes, how else can you explain how you got here and how else can you explain me calling who you think is your Aunt Ginny, mum, I saw the look on your face, you were shocked to see my mother thinking that she was your Aunt from your universe."
Rose sighed, 'She has a point but I still can't believe this…James is a dead man!' Rose thought.
After a few moments of silence from both girls, Ginny Potter came back. Rose was relieved to see Albus and Scorpius. James on the other hand, she wasn't happy to see. "I'm so glad you're awake Rosie." Albus said while hugging her. His green eyes were filled with concern.
"You scared Al, Weasely," Rose noticed that Jasmine jumped at hearing Scorpius say Weasely. "I should advise you to not do it again." Scorpius said with his arm crossed his chest. For some unknown reason Rose could tell that Scorpius was as worried for her as Albus was maybe more…
After a moment of thinking about the possibility of Scorpius being worried about her, Rose looked at James, who was talking to Jasmine quietly. Then James walked toward the bed and stood beside Albus. "I'm really sorry Rose. I should have listened to you and Al when you said to not put any more ingredients into that caldron." He said, looking at the floor. It took a few moments for Rose to say anything to James but when she looked at his face she could see that he was deeply sorry for what he did.
"Maybe," Rose started to say which made James look at her, "you will listen to me or Al when we tell you not to put something in a caldron now, right?" Rose asked James who was nodding.
"We need to figure out how to get back." Scorpius said suddenly, deep in thought. He looked at Rose as if she would come up with an answer, not knowing that everyone else (including Jasmine) was looking at Rose in the same way.
Rose noticed this and looked at everyone in turn. "WHAT?" she half yelled and half asked. "You know I don't have a clue of what to do." She then looked at Jasmine. "Do you know anyone who is good with potions that cause people to go to alternate universes?"
Jasmine nodded and smiled. "I do know someone who is good with potions, three people in fact. Maybe if we can explain the situation they can work together and figure out a way to get you four to your…home?" Jasmine said this as a question, unsure of what to say.
"Universe?" Albus suggested, making Jasmine laugh. This action caused James and Scorpius to exchange looks and both of them shaking their heads as if thinking 'oh my god, Al has lost it!'
"Sure, universe…that sounds weird…" Jasmine exclaimed, thinking it over.
There was an awkward silence in the room before anyone decided to break the silence. "Rose, you have got to meet Jasmine's family, there's a James here too and he's Jasmine's TWIN BROTHER!" James told Rose, suddenly excited about the whole thing. "He looks EXCATLY LIKE ME!" James yelled, now really excited and jumping up and down like a child at Christmas who is about to open his presents.
"Oh boy, just what we need another James Sirius Potter in the world." Scorpius said, sarcastically.
"Shut up Malfoy; let's hope there are NO Malfoys in this world!"
Jasmine laughed while Albus rolled his eyes at James for reacting to Scorpius. Rose looked at Jasmine while she laughed. 'Jasmine knows something that we don't.' Then like Jasmine actually heard Rose, she winked at the redhead.
"Actually James," Jasmine started to say while said person was glaring at Scorpius still, "There are Malfoys in this world, eleven in fact." Jasmine finished in a matter-of-factly tone (A/N: who does that sound like eh?) Everyone gasped at Jasmine.
"Eleven Malfoys?" James asked, shocked. Rose was also shocked but had to hide a laugh from the others. The look on James' face was priceless.
"Let me explain," Jasmine said after looking at everyone's shocked faces. Before continuing she walked over to Scorpius, who was standing at the window, his back facing the view from outside. "There are of course Lucius and his wife Narcissa." Jasmine said as she counted with her fingers. "Their son Draco and his wife," Now Jasmine has four fingers up showing everyone else in the room, "Then Draco and his wife's eldest Jane and her twin Danny, short for Daniel." At this Rose stared at Jasmine in shock, again. 'Wow, Malfoy twins! What next triplets?' Rose thought sarcastically, not knowing about what Jasmine was going to say next. "After Jane and Danny you have Alexander, who goes by Alex and Louis who are also twins." Rose shook her head, 'That was unexpected! Another set of twins!' Rose thought as she looked at Jasmine. By now Jasmine was holding up eight fingers to everyone, she paused to make sure everyone understood before continuing, "Last but not least are the three youngest, Nickolas, who goes by Nick and his sisters Rebecca, who goes by Becca and Sophie."
No one spoke for what seemed a long time (it was a mere 2 minutes). Scorpius was the first one to break the silence. "Can we meet the Malfoys?" he asked, very curious. Rose stared at Scorpius a little surprised at his question.
Jasmine smiled before answering, "I can owl Professor Malfoy and arrange something but you all might have to meet them at Hogwarts or my house." Everyone looked at Jasmine like she was grown another head.
"Why is that Jasmine?" Albus asked.
"Because Al, Uncle Ron and Professor Malfoy and his wife don't see eye to eye and since I'm friends with the seven Malfoy children, Uncle Ron hasn't been very nice about it."
"How come Jasmine?" Rose asked, a little sad about the situation.
Jasmine sighed before answering, clearly trying to control her emotions. Rose saw this and tried to comfort her friend. "You don't have to tell us right away I just want to know because um…" Rose paused for a second; unsure of what to call the man has the same name as her father.
Jasmine nodded and smiled sadly, "Thanks perhaps I can tell you the reason another time. Do…" Jasmine was interrupted by Scorpius "I just realized something you said Jas, can I call you Jas for short?"
"Can I call you Scorp?" Jasmine asked with one black eyebrow raised, clearly amused at Scorpius' sudden burst of excitement.
"Heck no." Scorpius said, looking around the room to make sure everyone knew not to call him that.
"Then you cannot call me Jas" She said with a glare. "You were saying Scorpius about something that I said you noticed something?" Jasmine said, to get Scorpius back on the subject he wants to talk about before asking Jasmine if he could shorten her name.
"Oh," Scorpius exclaimed, remembering what he wanted to talk about before he got side tracked, "yes I noticed you mentioned my dad…you said he's a Professor at Hogwarts." Jasmine nodded. "What does he teach?" This came from Albus which cut everyone off guard. Rose snickered at the looks on everyone's faces.
"He teaches Potions. Also his wife who is known as Professor Granger teaches History of Magic. She's a whole lot better than Professor Binns."
"Did you say Professor…?" Albus asked, he was cut off by Rose finishing his sentence "Granger…" Rose looked shocked and couldn't help but look at Scorpius, who in turn had the same look on his face as Rose.
Jasmine nodded while looking at Rose, Albus and Scorpius "Yes I did say Professor Granger. Why do you ask?" Jasmine asked, looking confused.
Rose looked at Al, unsure of what to say, then like reading her mind Al spoke, "Rose's mother's maiden name is Granger."
Jasmine had a surprised look on her face. "And her first name?" she asked, looking straight at Rose.
"Hermione," Rose said before Al could say a word.
No one said a word. Jasmine looked at Rose and Al like she expected them to joke about it. When Jasmine spoke next she was breathing heavily and each word slowly. "You're- mother- is- Hermione- Granger?" After Jasmine said this, she started to pace in the room.
The others exchanged looks as they watched Jasmine pace from one end of the room to the other. Finally after a few moment of watching Jasmine pace, Rose spoke up. "Did I say something wrong Jasmine?"
Jasmine stopped her pacing and looked at Rose. "No you didn't." Jasmine said with a smile. "But," she added, "This might come to a shock when I tell you something." She paused again. "Do you remember when I mentioned the Malfoys?" Jasmine asked. Rose, Albus, James and Scorpius nodded. "I never told you who Professor Malfoy's wife is." Jasmine sighed. She looked at everyone else nervously before continuing. "Professor Malfoy's wife is Hermione Granger."
The room was silent for a moment then all hell broke loose. Both Rose and Scorpius looked at each other realizing that in a way they are related, their faces red as the Weasely hair. James started yelling nonsense and Albus, not saying a thing, stared at Jasmine like she was not right in the head.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN AUNT HERMIONE MARRIED A DEATH EATER? YOU ARE MAKING THIS UP!" James finished screaming at Jasmine, his face red in anger.
"I didn't make this up James." Jasmine said calmly. "You sound like Uncle Ron, maybe mum and dad should have named you James Ronald instead of James Sirius because you are nothing like Padfoot." Jasmine said this with a glare and in a you-better-stop-acting-like- a- spoiled-child tone of voice, which made James be quite after that.
"Could you explain how my father married Rose's mother please? I know, from what you said that things are very different from our demission." Scorpius asked, his face not as red as before.
Jasmine turned to Scorpius and gave him a sweet smile. "I'm not the one who should tell you what happened between the Malfoys. That's their job. If you want I can contact Jane and you can meet them, like I said before." Jasmine said in a friendly way.
"Why can't you tell me?" asked Scorpius who was very disappointed at this point.
"I don't know all of the details. What I do know is that when my father, Uncle Ron, and Aunt Hermione were in their 7th year at Hogwarts things between Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione turned bad when Aunt Hermione had to share a common room with Professor Malfoy."
"Were they Head Boy and Head Girl?" Rose asked.
Jasmine nodded. "Yes, at first Uncle Ron was ok that Aunt Hermione was made Head Girl, he was very proud of her, as friends should be."
"But…" Rose said, she had a feeling that there was more to the story.
"But," Jasmine started, "He didn't approve of the Head Boy."
"Who happened to be my father, Draco." Scorpius said, getting where the story was heading.
"Right Scorpius," Jasmine said with a nod. She looked at the others for a moment before continuing, letting the information sink in a bit.
"Could you tell us more?" Al asked, curiously. The other nodded in agreement. It seemed like they also wanted to know more.
Before Jasmine could answer Al's question the group heard a loud female voice coming from below. "Jasmine, Lunch and bring your friends!"
"Who was that?" James asked. Jasmine laughed as everyone jumped.
"That was the loveable, mother hen Molly Weasely also known as Grandma to her grandchildren." Jasmine answered. She winked at James, who stared at her, confused.
"Where did the voice come from?" Scorpius asked, unsure if Jasmine was telling the truth.
"Where else, the kitchen," Jasmine answered with a laugh then continued "Grandma, like everyone else has been worried about all of you and has made sure that there is plenty of food." Jasmine then made her way toward the door, opened it and turned around facing the group, "Come on, it's time for lunch. I'm sure you are all hungry."After she said this Jasmine left the room.
At that the boys' stomachs started to grumble. Rose, looked at the boys, rolled her eyes while the three boys grinned sheepishly at each other after hearing their stomachs groan. Rose followed Jasmine down the stairs, with the boys behind her. They were in for a shock once they came to the ground level of the Burrow….
