A/N: Hello it's me again. Just reminding you that I'm re-writing this story. So Chapter 2 is now completed.

Chapter II: What to do

As they stood there seeing the young man, they couldn't help but to stare.

"What are you doing in my house," he asked

"We uh…um wanted…," Ron couldn't think right he was still in shock in seeing his younger father.

"I'm so sorry sir. You see we're not from around here and I guess we must have—uh came into the wrong house," said Hermione from the top of her head. "But since we are here and have no place to go-- I mean-we are hoping if we could stay here for the night. We will leave first thing in the morning."

He took a few seconds before answering.

"Very well you can stay. You two gents can stay in this room and you miss can stay in the spare room by the bathroom," said Arthur. He then turned around to leave but then stopped.

"My wife will be serving dinner within the hour. Join us if you want to." And then he left.

Ron hurried over to the door and closed it.

"What the heck is going on? Was that my dad we were just talking to, or are we really in some else's house?" he asked.

"Yes that was your father but he's younger, much younger. And no Ron this is your house," said Hermione. "What is happening? We couldn't have gone back in time. It's just impossible."

" I don't know but from the looks of things we have and now how are we going to get back to the future?" ask Harry.

"I-I don't know," answered Hermione.

"What do you mean you don't know!" cried Ron. "You're the smartest witch in an Age. You practically know everything in our text books.

"Ron there's nothing that I have read in any of the books in the library that talks about time travel. We need to do some research or talk to someone," answered Hermione.

"What are we going to do then?" asked Harry.

"I'm afraid we must go to Hogwarts," said Hermione.

Harry and Ron began to groan.

"It's the only place that will have the books," she said.

"Hermione think about this, if we go to Hogwarts then wouldn't the professors recognize us in the future?" asked Ron.

"I doubt it."

"Okay then what about the students. It's bad enough that we have to put up with Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, but their fathers . . . well . . . I DON'T THINK SO. And Snape, it's torture that he's our potion's teacher. I just can't imagine him as a student," said Ron.

"I know Ron but we don't have a choice if we plan on going back home," Hermione said.

They then all sat down on the bed and looked at each other.

"So now that we have some what of a plan, what are we going to tell others about ourselves," asked Harry.

"You have a good point there Harry. We cannot keep our real names. We can keep are first names but our last names should change. Also we should say that we are exchange students," said Hermione.

They stayed in Ron's room for a few more minutes gathering their ideas and then they went down stairs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Down in the kitchen Arthur and his wife Molly weren't agreeing with their company.

"I can't believe you Arthur letting strangers spending the night in our house. What ever came over you? You remember the last time you involved yourself with muggles?" asked Molly.

"Yes I remember like it was yesterday. But muggle or not they're just kids and besides I think they ran away from home," said Arthur. "There parents could be worried to death, and I just didn't what to kick them out on the streets with no place to stay."

"Oh Arthur, you always think with your heart." She smiled and kissed his cheek. "But you still should have discussed it with me before telling them yes. For once I thought we could have one night together, you the kids and me. Tonight is the first night in our house and I wanted it to be special."

"I know and it will be," said Arthur and he returned the kiss. "It's just these kids, when I saw them it felt like I know them, like they're family especially the one with red hair. He looks like he could be my twin or something."

They heard some foot steps coming down and they gave their attention to the stairs and they saw Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

"Molly, Molly dear, these are our guests that I was telling you about," said Arthur, he moved his wife closer to the stairs.

"Nice to met you Mrs. Weasley," said Harry. "You have such a lovely home."

"Thank you," she replied.

"My name is Harry, Harry Parker, and these are my two best friends Ron Wesley and Hermione Graves."

"It's nice to met you. Now I must get back to the kitchen. Dinner can't make it self" said Molly and began walking back to the kitchen.

"Do you need any help?" asked Hermione.

"Sure that will be nice."

"So Harry, Ron where will you be going tomorrow?" asked Arthur.

"To Hogwarts, for school," answered Harry.

"Oh . . . you're wizards then, so I bet you will be needing these." Arthur went over to the fireplace and when he returned he held up three wands.

"My wand!" Ron cried. "Oh I thought I lost it."

"Where did you find them?" asked Harry as he took hold of his wand.

"They were laying by the fireplace when I got home. When I saw them I afraid that You-Know-Who was here to kill me," said Arthur.

A few minutes later Molly announced that dinner was ready.

Hermione and Molly brought the dishes to the table while Arthur went to the closet to get out a highchair.

"I think that muggles are brilliant to make such a neat useful thing," he said as he set it by the table. "Would you like to see the kids?" asked Arthur.

Ron and Harry shrugged and then they went upstairs after Arthur. They stopped at the first room. Arthur put a finger to his mouth and slowly went in. Inside were a crib, a rocking chair, and a dresser.

"Here's the smallest one Percy." He grabbed a little infant from the crib. "He was born 4 weeks ago. I have a good feeling that he would be the top student in he class."

"He has no idea how right he is," Ron whispered to Harry.

They left the room and went to another that was next to it. Inside was two little boys sleeping.

"Now these two are Charlie and William," said Arthur," Charlie is 3 and William just turned 5 last week."

He woke the two boys up and they headed down for dinner.

"Yum! Mu-Mrs. Weasley this food is great!" said Ron as he shoved more onto his plate.

"Why thank you Ron. Hey, hey, slow down, you'll get a stomachache," she said.

"So Harry where do you guys come from?" asked Arthur.

"We're from Ireland. Dublin, Ireland," answered Harry.

"I lived there for awhile," said Molly, " I wonder if I know any of your parents."

Ron stopped eating for a moment and looked up at her "Oh uh . . . you might. Agh." He felt a sharp pain to his rip and saw that he got elbowed by Hermione.

"So what year are you guys in?" ask Arthur.

"We're going into our sixth year," replied Harry. "Just wondering, will there be any chances of a professor having knowledge of time travel? Agh." Hermione kicked him and then gave him a look to shut up.

"No, not that I can remember," Arthur answered.

"So how are you planning to get to platform 9¾?" ask Molly.

"We were planning to call a taxi," answered Hermione.

"A taxi nonsense. I will take you," said Arthur. "I have a car out back."

"I wonder if it can fly," said Ron quietly but Hermione heard him and elbowed him again.

Dinner was soon over and Harry, Ron and Hermione went up to their rooms to pack. Arthur gave them some old trunks while Molly was making sure that they had enough clothes. In Ron's room Harry slowly put his robes in the trunk and then he slowly sigh.

"What's wrong Harry?" asked Ron.

"I'm just think, what if Hermione doesn't fine a way home and we're stuck here," said Harry.

"Don't worry Harry, she will," said Ron. "As I have said before, she's the smartest witch in an Age. If she can't find a way then I doubt that no one else can."

They then heard a knock at the door. They turned around and saw William and Charlie peeking through the door.

"Hey buddies, what are you two doing out of bed?" asked Ron.

"We were wondering if you could tell us a story," said William.

"No problem Bill," said Ron. "Let's go to your room and I'll tell you a story that my brother told me."

"Bill. I like that than Will," said William. "From now on I will go by Bill."

Harry laughed as they were leaving, but he was still feeling a bit uneasy.

"If Hermione can't get us back I don't think I can stand see my parents happy and then knowing that they're going to die," said Harry.

After he said that it gave him an idea.
