Woohoo, thanks to all of you who favorited and followed this story! And cookies to the two of you who reviewed! Carly Carnations, I think you might be happy with this chapter(:

I tried to keep some things canon, but seeing as JK didn't really give much background info on most of the older people from this time I had fun playing with some of the characters… and I think you guys will enjoy who I introduce now, and what you guys find out…

New Identities

The four teens were all seated in front of the headmaster and the deputy headmistress. McGonagall looked years younger than any teen remembered her to be – especially the siblings – and she also looked ready to have a heart attack when she heard the four teens were from three different futures. Dumbledore had called her into his office so she could help him decide on what was best to do with the four who claimed to be from three separate futures, but once she stepped inside it was easy to see who belonged to whom.

"Minerva," Dumbledore smiled kindly. Waving his hand at the four teens he chuckled, "These are the students I told you about in the patronus message."

"I can see that, Albus," she said, still staring at them. She noticed the way the girl sat between the two blondes, but the third boy sat far away from the somewhat sickly looking one. "What are your names?"

The three boys turned to the girl who rolled her eyes. "We can obviously tell them the truth. My name is Avianna Weasley-Malfoy."

"Merlin's Beard!" McGonagall gasped. "A Weasley and a Malfoy?"

Draco rolled his eyes, "Yeah, I'm not too happy about that either. I still don't understand how I managed to marry Granger?"

"Hush up," the girl hissed at him. "It's a long story, one I'm willing to get into later, but for now you just asked our names. Technically my biological father is Ronald Weasley, the son of Arthur and Molly. My mum is a muggle-born so you won't know who she is until 1991. My dad was an Auror and he got killed on a mission one night when I was only three. Draco Malfoy," she pointed to the said blonde, "Became close to my family after the war. He was my dad's partner and there when my dad was killed, so he started to sort of comfort my mum. Scorpius," she pointed to her brother, "And I are two months apart, so when Draco would come to see my mum he would bring Scorpius. They were already sort of bonding because Mum was his Healer, but it wasn't until Astoria Greengrass – Scorpius's biological mum – demanded for a divorce at our cousins' party, that Mum and Draco really started to connect. We were seven when they got married, and I took the Malfoy name, but my dad – Draco – insisted I keep Weasley as well, because he didn't want me to forget about my bloodline."

Dumbledore blinked his eyes, and McGonagall seemed unable to blink at all. "So… you," she pointed to Draco, "Are the son of Lucius and Narcissa?"

Draco nodded his head. "And in the time that I come from, I still hated Granger because of her blood. I don't understand how it's possible that I married her… especially if she's already been tainted by Weasley."

Seeing that everybody was staring at her as she started to giggle, Avianna smiled at Draco. "He used to say that all the time in our time as well. The Weasleys were quick to accept Dad, especially since he loved me as his own, but he still muttered about Ron tainting Mum all the time. Scorpius and I like to tease him that he's always crushed on Mum since their first year, but had been too much of a pansy to admit it."

Draco started sputtering out things, but nothing made sense, so McGonagall turned to the fourth boy, "And you… I take it you're the son of Frank and Alice? You look just like them."

Neville nodded his head. "Yes, ma'am. My name is Neville Longbottom, and I'm extremely confused right now. In the time that I come from, Draco is a Death Eater, and we're just getting into the midst of the second war. Lives have already been lost, and Draco is part of it all."

Dumbledore's face grew serious while McGonagall clutched at her heart. Draco lifted his sleeve for them to see, "But in my time I turned the mark down, and Professor Snape saved my life when the Dark Lord tried to kill me. He took me to the Order and you were all just arguing about what to do with me, but that was when the light appeared and Scorpius showed up with Avianna."

"It was apparently one month before my time," Neville added in confusion.

"And your time," Dumbledore turned to the two from the furthest future? "What is Draco Malfoy in your time?"

"An ex-Death Eater," Avianna admitted. "There were a lot of events that led up to it, but the war was eventually won, and Uncle Harry pardoned all of the Malfoys because Grandmum Cissy saved Uncle Harry's life, and Dad sort of saved Mum from his aunt Bellatrix."

Draco paled and Neville released a squeaking sound. "You're keeping something back," Dumbledore noted.

Avianna nodded her head. "I'm keeping a lot of things back. This is 1978, so we have time to save hundreds of lives, but if you're not willing to then I'm not telling you anything about the war."

McGonagall gasped at the girl's rude behavior, and Scorpius shook his head. "Avi, don't be rude to Professor Dumbledore. Mum would kill you."

"But Dad would approve – both Dad's," she kept Dumbledore's gaze, and made sure to keep her mental walls up so that he couldn't read into her mind. "I know how you feel about changing things, so I honestly see no sense in filling you in on everything just to have you keep things the same way."

Dumbledore nodded his head. "You were brought here for a reason, Miss Malfoy. All four of you were."

"Luna said something about that," Neville muttered. "She said that Scorpius and Avianna weren't meant for their own time, and that Draco and I were useless in ours. She said we'd be needed here."

"And this Luna person was correct. You four were brought here to change the future."

Draco cocked an eyebrow then looked at his apparent future children. "Potter won the war right? He killed the Dark Lord?" when they both nodded their heads, he furrowed his eyebrows. "Then why would we need to change the future?"

"Potter?" McGonagall questioned.

Avianna nodded her head. "Uncle Harry. Harry Potter, the son of James and Lily."

Scorpius suddenly gasped, "Avi, you don't think that-"

She suddenly gasped as well. "I do."

Neville stared at them for a bit, "You two aren't thinking that we can save-"

"It would make sense," Draco nodded his head. "You two know how Potter defeated the Dark Lord, I'm assuming?"

Avianna nodded her head, "And you already proved that you chose the lights side, so you could help us out with some things."

"But why would I be here?" asked Neville.

Scorpius smirked, "Because Uncle Neville, you're the one who helped win the war. You killed Nagini."

"What?" Draco gasped. "Longbottom killed that horrid snake?"

Neville looked as if he were going to be sick. "I don't think I did," he shook his head. "I mean I would never go anywhere near that thing."

"You're a lot braver than you look," Avianna reminded him. "Look at what you did at the Ministry. You survived up against Bellatrix Lestrange."

"Yes, but that's only because Sirius got to me on time, and look where that got him."

"There's two years between the time we grabbed you and the final war, Uncle Neville," Avianna assured him with a gentle smile. "Trust us; thousands would be dead if it weren't for you. You, Aunt Luna, and Aunt Ginny took on an army of Death Eaters, resurrected the DA, and protected the students of Hogwarts in your seventh year when Snape became headmaster."

"Why would Snape become headmaster?" Draco frowned.

Hearing somebody clearing their throat, Avianna turned around and saw the two professors staring at her. After a long and silent conversation with Scorpius she nodded her head. She would explain only some of it to the adults. She and Scorpius would meet up with Draco and Neville at another time then tell them everything, but they would only fill the adults in on some things.

"Peter Pettigrew," she told them, "Is a traitor. Professor Dumbledore, you'll be in the Hogs Head and you'll overhear a prophecy created by a somewhat seer. Because of that prophecy you'll take her in as your Divination professor. Severus Snape, who will be a Death Eater at that time will overhear only half of it then run to Voldemort. Snape, realizing what he's done will then run to you for protection. Because of the prophecy Voldemort will set out to kill Harry Potter, but he'll offer Lily her life in honor of Snape. You set the Fidelius Charm so they would be protected, then you all agree on Sirius being the Secret Keeper. At the last minute though, Sirius goes to James and Lily and they all agree to make Pettigrew the Secret Keeper because they know that nobody will ever suspect him. Pettigrew tells Voldemort where they're hidden, then Voldemort kills James and when Lily refuses to save herself he kills her as well. He used the killing curse on Harry, but Harry lives and Voldemort unknowingly turns Harry into his seventh Horcrux-"

Dumbledore gasped and clutched his heart. "Did you just say-?"

Avianna nodded her head, "I did. He has seven. Anyway, you send Sirius off to Azkaban without a trial, and Peter lives his life in hiding as a rat making everybody believe that Sirius has killed him as well. This all takes place on Halloween of 1981."

"Albus," McGonagall reached out for him, "This is in only three years."

"I know, Minerva," Dumbledore sighed, "I know. Miss Malfoy, please go on."

"You send Harry to live with his mum's sister because of some sort of love protection thing, and they abuse him, then when he's eleven Hagrid brings him to Hogwarts. He was sorted into Gryffindor, became best friends with my dad Ron Weasley and my mum, Hermione Granger, then they went on all sorts of adventures together. In third year, Sirius broke out from Azkaban to protect Harry from Pettigrew who was living as Ron's pet rat, but Mum used the time-turner that Aunt Minnie, that's you Professor, gave to her for her classes, and then they saved him from being kissed by the hundred Dementors guarding Hogwarts. In fourth year the Tri-Wizard tournament was brought back, and Cedric Diggory was killed by Pettigrew then Voldemort became resurrected. In fifth year, a lot of things happened at Hogwarts, and you reopened the Order of Phoenix, but it didn't matter, Voldemort still got stronger, Azkaban prisoners broke out, Harry Potter, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Luna Lovegood, and Neville Longbottom all left Hogwarts and went to the Ministry of Magic where they faced off with Lucius Malfoy, Bellatrix Lestrange, and four other Death Eaters. Members of the Order came in at the very last minute, Sirius was killed by his cousin, and Voldemort showed up. Dad became a Death Eater during the summer then was assigned to kill you, but Snape told you of the assignment, your hand became poisoned by a ring Horcrux you found, Snape killed you instead of Dad, then Snape became the headmaster of Hogwarts. Uncle Harry, Mum, and Ron left school during their seventh year, and found all the Horcruxes. They were captured, tortured at Malfoy Manor, and then eventually the war started, and Uncle Harry killed Voldemort."

Draco looked as if he stopped breathing from the time it was mentioned what his task was to do, and Neville was staring blankly at the wall. "You left out a lot of the details, Avi," Scorpius pointed out.

Avianna nodded her head. "I left out details that won't help you to kill Voldemort before it matters. Scorpius and I know where all of the Horcruxes are, and what they are. Once they're all destroyed he'll become mortal and you can kill him. Uncle Harry will be able to be raised by his parents instead of his abusive aunt and uncle. And Sirius won't be killed this time. Neither will Tonks, or Remus, or Fred, or Mad Eye, or Lavender, or anybody else."

Neville gasped. "Lavender and Fred are killed?"

"Brown and Weasley?" Draco asked. "When?"

"During the war," Scorpius muttered. "And they weren't all."

"Tonks is the daughter of Andromeda and Ted Tonks," Avianna told the two blurry eyed professors. "Little Nymphadora Tonks. She marries Remus Lupin, and they have a son Teddy only two months before they're killed in war. Teddy became another orphan of the war, and although he loves Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny for raising him, I know he wishes he could have his own parents."

"Professor Lupin married Tonks," Neville laughed. "Way to go! I always knew she looked at him kind of funny. Even after Sirius fell through the veil a couple months ago, she sort of looked everywhere just to make sure that Professor Lupin was alright."

"There are too many casualties," Avianna told the professors. "And Scorpius and I know how to end it before it begins, and the four of us are willing to fight. Uncle Neville and Dad proved it in all three of our timelines. Dad may have been a Death Eater in our time, but he lowered his wand against Professor Dumbledore, and he took care of Aunt Luna during the three and a half months she was a prisoner in his dungeons. He fought for the light towards the middle, and this version of him turned down the dark mark. Uncle Neville created a revolution, and killed Nagini – one of the Horcruxes – and this version is just a younger version of him. This version is the beginning of the version we grew up with."

McGonagall nodded her head. "And nothing that you left out is important to us?"

"They're only stories that would give you all heart attacks, but it's nothing important to killing Voldemort," Avianna chuckled.

Summoning a roll of parchment and an inkwell, Dumbledore stared up at the four teens. "Then tell us everything we need to know to kill Voldemort before your future starts to happen."

It took three hours, but Avianna and Scorpius managed to tell the two professors everything that they needed to know about the Horcruxes, where to find them, and how to destroy them. When asked for names of Death Eaters, Avianna stepped on Scorpius's feet and she took the duty of naming all but one. When all three boys turned to stare at her she blushed and shook her head. She admitted that there was one more Death Eater, but she felt he could be saved – he was the one who found one of the Horcruxes and tried to destroy it. He was killed at only seventeen years old when trying to destroy Voldemort from inside the circle, and she didn't want him to be arrested before he has a chance to show the redemption he would later be killed for. Neville nodded his head in agreement, but the two Malfoys eyed her suspiciously. It took three hours, but the two professors eventually had everything they needed in order to round up members of the Order to start destroying the Horcruxes.

"What houses are you in during your own time?" Dumbledore asked, still sitting behind his desk.

"Gryffindor," stated Neville.

Draco smirked, "Slytherin."

"Very well," McGonagall stood up, "Miss Malfoy, Mr. Longbottom, you'll both be in my house, and-"

"No," Avianna shook her head. "I'm in Slytherin."

McGonagall looked at a lost for words, while Neville and Draco both started to choke. "A Weasley in Slytherin?" questioned McGonagall.

"Forget that," Draco stated. "A Granger in Slytherin? You seem like you take Granger's brains so I would at least expect Ravenclaw, but Slytherin? You aren't even pureblooded!"

"You forget who raised me as his daughter from when I was only three," Avianna smirked, making Neville shudder at how similar it looked to Draco's own smirk. "Besides, Grandpa Lucius told me that if I got sorted into Gryffindor he'd disown me."

"As if that was really going to happen. Look at me – Grandpa Lucius still loves me," Scorpius scoffed.

Draco blinked his eyes. "You – but – Malfoy – Gryffindor – son – what – Longbottom?"

"I'm just as confused as you, Malfoy."

McGonagall took a while to get over the shock of learning a Malfoy was in her house, while a Weasley was in Slytherin, but she eventually got over it. "Right then. So Mr. Longbottom and Mr. Malfoy will be in my house, while Miss Malfoy and Mr. Malfoy will be in Slytherin. Professor Slughorn will be the head of your house, and it would be best to not tell him who you really are."

"What were the names you gave to Mr. Black?" asked Dumbledore.

Seeing all three boys looking at her once more, Avianna rolled her eyes again. "I'm Avianna Lange and Neville is my brother. Draco and Scorpius are also brothers, and their surnames are Mabry. We're cousins, and we've all exchanged from Beauxbaton. Draco and Neville are seventh years and we're sixth."

"I'd rather not put you two in a year that neither of you are prepared for," Dumbledore frowned, "But you two need to get close to the Marauders, and keep an eye on Peter."

"It won't happen if I'm in Slytherin," Draco shook his head.

"Well that's why it's a good thing that you and your cousin Neville are close."

Neville's eyes widened and Draco started to shudder. "Me and Longbottom, but-"

"You are the only two in this time with actual memories of your own time, Mr. Malfoy," Dumbledore reminded him. "You were both together from when you were only eleven. You will make friends while in this time, but you will both need each other as well."

Scowling at the annoying headmaster, Draco nodded his head. "Fine."

"What about Avianna and I, sir?"

Dumbledore smiled down at Scorpius. "It sounds to me like Miss Malfoy is on a mission to save a young Death Eater from an early death."

"But what can we do to help with the mission?" Scorpius asked.

"You can help us get closer to the Marauders," Draco sighed in annoyance. "I don't know about the Longbottom in your time, but in mine he's still a bit clumsy and he's only good with Herbology. I don't know a thing about Potter or his personal life. I may be able to get close to Pettigrew, but only because he's always at the manor. Other than that I hate him."

"What he means is that with Hermione as your mum you're hopefully smart like her, so you'll be able to help us keep up with our work while trying to befriend the Marauders," Neville grinned.

Draco's scowl deepened. "And I also don't like Potter. If I hate the Potter in my time, I probably won't like his father either, nor will I like the werewolf or the blood traitor."

"Oh, Dad," Avianna shook her head, "You need to hurry up and grow out of your prejudices. You marry the biggest Mudblood of all, after all."

McGonagall gasped so loud everybody thought a chair broke, Dumbledore chuckled lightly to himself, Neville stumbled out of his chair, Draco's eyes were bulging out of his forehead, and Scorpius narrowed his eyes. "That isn't funny, Avianna."

"You were saying it yourself this morning, Scorpius."

"I never called Mum a Mudblood."

"Oh, so she's Mum all of a sudden? This morning your biggest regret was your dad even marrying her."

"Are you really going to bring that up again? I apologized."

"Only because James threatened to Crucio you when you came into my room while we were talking."

"Why do you think I went into your room this morning?" Scorpius rolled his eyes. "I went to go apologize to you!"

"You shouted that I'm not even a real Malfoy, and that you hate me, and that I'm not your family anymore!"

"I was annoyed with what Nott wrote to me."

"Do not go there with me again, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy!"

"I know, I know," he sighed. "Look, Avi, I really am sorry for what I said this morning. You know that I didn't mean any of it. You are my sister, I do love our mum, and our dad nearly killed me for what I said. My biggest regret would have been if only I left our time, or you did, without me getting the chance to apologize to you. I just had another nightmare of Astoria last night, and waking up to Nott's letter pissed me off. Not to mention I had to listen to Teddy and Vic shagging after they came back last night. I swear they purposely forget to silence their wall just to scar us. I heard Aunt Pansy busting them this morning for it, too."

Avianna folded her arms over her chest. "You hexed me, Scorp."

"I know," he frowned. "I didn't mean to."

Hearing somebody cough, Avianna looked around and realized where they were. She looked up at her brother. "We'll talk about this later."

He nodded his head at her. "Do you love me again?"

Smiling, Avianna accepted his hug then she rested her head on his chest, "You're only lucky we got sucked into another timeline. Uncle Harry probably would've sent to you to Azkaban just to save you from being killed by everybody else. I think Aunt Fleur almost grew claws when you mentioned Ron being dead."

"Dad's hand twitched for his wand to hex me," Scorpius chuckled. "Grandmum Molly and Mum had to keep his hands away from his pocket."

"I think I saw Uncle George tackle Freddie to stop him from attacking you too."

"And I heard Lily running to the floo," Scorpius chuckled. "Imagine what Grandpa Lucius would have done to me."

Avianna shuddered. "I think even Teddy would've taken pity on you at that point."

"Are you kidding?" Scorpius shook his head. "I could hear Teddy whispering with Uncle Neville and Lysander to call in Uncle Charlie to bring one of his dragons. They only stopped when Aunt Luna and Dom threatened them with something I'm thankful I couldn't hear."

Avianna smirked. "Well I know that James was currently in the middle of planning on showing Lavender a certain album that Mum saved for moments like these. I hope he's showing them to her right now."

"Lavender?" Neville interrupted, scratching at his shaggy hair. "I thought you said she was killed in the war?"

"Lavender Brown was," Scorpius nodded his head. "We're talking about Lavender Finnigan. She's the daughter of Seamus Finnigan and Pansy Parkinson."

McGonagall had to literally start pounding on Draco's back as he began to choke. When he could finally breathe again, he looked sick. "Pansy ended up with Finnigan?"

"Well, you ended up with Granger," Avianna smirked. "Besides, your reaction was much funnier when Uncle Seamus warned you to keep your son away from his daughter. You turned all sorts of different shades, and Aunt Luna had to make you a pot of Gurdyroot Infusion with three calming draughts inside of it just so you could breathe again. The thought of your son with a Finnigan was even worse than your best friend marrying one."

"At least you didn't have to worry about your daughter ending up with a Weasley or Granger," Neville chuckled, trying to lighten the tension coming from his blonde enemy.

Snorting, Scorpius made sure to walk away from his sister before muttering, "No, it's worse – she once dated a Krum."

Glaring at her brother, Avianna blushed. Draco shook his head, "Krum? As in your mum once dated a Krum too?"

Avianna was still blushing when she nodded her head. "Viktor married Padma Patil, and they came to visit one year. I dated their son Prajwal for three months."

"Thank Merlin it was only for a short time," Draco sighed. "You and your mum have the worst taste in blokes."

"Says the one who she ends up marrying," Avianna scoffed. "And I only broke up with Prajwal because you and Uncle George kept threatening to have Kingsley get him deported. Prajwal was a very sweet guy, and I actually liked him."

"Avi cried for a week straight when she broke up with him," Scorpius informed the room. "Dad couldn't even go near her door without bursting into boils everywhere. It wasn't until Aunt Fleur called Viktor to come and explain the full extent of his relationship with Mum before Avianna understood exactly why Dad didn't like the idea of his daughter being with a Krum."

"I wasn't jealous when that Bulgarian idiot asked Granger to the Yule Ball," Draco sneered.

"Nobody said you were, Malfoy," Neville snorted.

"I just don't understand what a world famous Seeker on an international Quidditch team would see in a bossy know-it-all like Granger."

"Sure, Malfoy, sure."

Dumbledore managed to break up the little group reunion so they could go over their names and schedules once more. Although Draco loudly argued about it, it was agreed that he and Neville would act close so that way Draco could also befriend the Marauders. Scorpius agreed that he would offer his help to his dad and uncle to help them actually pass their classes, and Avianna became determined to save Regulus. She's talked to the portrait of Sirius millions of times, and he always mentioned how much he wished he and his brother could have had a better relationship – although he was always downing the poor bloke. If they were saving lives in this time, she was determined to make sure they saved relationships as well. Sirius and Regulus would both realize how much they need each other, and she would help Sirius to see his brother isn't just an evil Death Eater – he's a spy amongst the Death Eaters.

With their new schedules in hands, and their background story on their families, the four teens followed McGonagall outside of the office. Professor Slughorn was already standing at the bottom of the stairs and waiting for his two new students. With a quick nod of their heads to their only other counterparts, the father and daughter duo started to make their way to the dungeons, ready to start a new life in an old past.

"These are the dungeons that you'll be living in until you leave Hogwarts," the short and fat professor told them. Avianna had never met Professor Slughorn, but she'd seen pictures of him before and she knew all about him through her parents, aunts, and uncles. She wanted to ask Draco if he looked the same from when he met the guy, but she knew that Draco hadn't had the time to meet him in his own time yet – they pulled Draco away before the school year started. He didn't even know Horace Slughorn was about to be his Potions Professor. "The password to enter is, Unitas, and you'll need to remember it or else you won't be allowed inside."

Smirking at the idea of the most biased house at Hogwarts having a password meaning 'unity,' Avianna nodded her head to show that she understood. She and Draco followed the professor into the green glowing common room, not bothering to look around – it looked identical to their own times. "At Beauxbaton the girls slept on one side of the school, and the blokes slept on the other side, but we were separated by years," seeing the confusion in Draco's face at what she said, Avianna rolled her eyes. "Aunt Fleur told us all about it," she whispered to him, "Now stop looking confused, you're supposed to have spent six and a half years at that school."

Draco nodded his head then decided to play along as well. "Will we be sleeping by years as well, or do you have another sleeping arrangement?"

Chuckling, Slughorn shook his head, "No, no," he told the two of them, "The boys' dorms are right up those stairs to the right, and the girls are right up those stairs to the left. Miss Lange, you'll be sleeping in the room with the sixth year girls, and Mr. Mabry, you'll be with the seventh year boys," his eyes scanned the room until he found who he appeared to be searching for. "Miss Meliflua, Mr. Nott, could you two come here?"

Biting back her own groan when she saw the seventh year boy walking towards them, Avianna saw Draco staring at the sixth year girl with wide eyes. "What is it?" she whispered to him.

"That's Blaise's mum," Draco whispered in a choked up voice.

Turning back to the girl walking gracefully towards them, Avianna took in the beautiful girl. Her skin was dark like an exotic drink, with eyes as dark as the night sky, and thick black hair that fell to her thighs like a blanket made of feathers from a crow itself. "That's Nana Adreana?" Draco nodded his head, then she whispered back, "And that's Mr. Nott – Uncle Theo's dad?"

Draco nodded his head again. "He and my father are best friends."

"I know," she whispered.

The handsome seventeen year old boy approached them first. Eyes the color of a leaf landed on her, and Avianna could see why she was stupid enough to allow Vincent Nott to snog her the night before – the Notts were truly a beautiful family filled with gorgeous men. "Hullo," her somewhat enemy/friend's grandfather smiled at her in a flirtatious way. "I'm Michael Nott."

"And I am Adreana Meliflua," the girl introduced herself as well. Avianna grew up knowing Adreana as a grandmum, the same way she took Narcissa Malfoy as one. Blaise and Draco were still inseparable, and she and Scorpius spent as much time at Zabini Manor as they did with the Potter/Weasley children. She asked the question in her own time, and she still asked it now – was Nana Adreana a Veela?

Slughorn clapped his hands together, "Miss Meliflua, Mr. Nott, this is Avianna Lange and her cousin Draco Mabry; they transferred here from Beauxbaton. Miss Lange is a sixth year, Miss Meliflua, and Mr. Mabry will join you in seventh year, Mr. Nott."

"Mabry?" questioned Michael, looking over at a nervous Draco, "Are you related to the Malfoys at all? You look like my mate Lucius."

Draco quickly shook his head. "Not that I know of."

Adreana rolled her eyes. "Not everyone with blonde hair is a Malfoy, Michael. Look at this girl, she has red hair but that doesn't mean she's a Weasley."

Nott scoffed, and neither of them noticed the knowing smirk on both Draco and Avianna's faces, "As if a Weasley would ever be sorted into Slytherin. Well, come on Draco, I'll show you to our room."

Draco nodded his head then turned to look at his future daughter, but current cousin, "I'll meet you down here later, Avianna?"

She nodded her head. "Yeah."

Adreana took Avianna up the long flight of stairs that led to their room, and Avianna wasn't surprised to see that Adreana glided more than walked. She held such a grace to herself, that it was no wonder she was able to still marry rich men then kill them off even in the year 2021. Adreana Zabini was fifty-nine years old in her time, but she was still known as the notorious Black Widow. Blaise hated it, but his daughter was surely turning into a miniature version of her grandmum, and it was Draco who made sure all of the Potter/Weasley/Finnigan/Longbottom boys stayed far away from Jasmine Zabini. Even Tracy made sure to warn boys away from her daughter, in fear that they would soon die mysteriously.

"This is it," Adreana told Avianna. "It looks like your trunk came in already."

Looking over at the bed at the far end of the room, Avianna smiled to herself – at least she would have the same bed as in her own time. "It was sent up here while we were talking to Professor Dumbledore," she explained to her new roommate. Dumbledore explained that seeing as how they all arrived in the past with no clothing, books, or any personal belongings aside from their wands, he would order everything that they would need and have it sent up with a new trunk for them. He assured them that there was a vault in Gringotts for moments like this, and that they could spend their first weekend in Hogsmeade to buy their own clothing, and the rest of their own needed supplies.

"So, you don't sound French," Adreana noted, sitting on the edge of the bed closest to Avianna's. "Your cousin didn't either."

"We aren't," Avianna chuckled, then thought back to her mum's heritage, "Well, not completely. We were born in England, but my dad got transferred to a job in France when my brother and I were still young. My cousins ended up moving in with us a couple months later when I started showing signs of magic."

"Were your parents not expecting it?"

"I'm a half-blood," she shook her head. They all agreed that the story would stick to Avianna being a half-blood only because there were a few people in the school who would be able to tell the difference. "My brother's a pureblood, but his dad left before he was born, and my mum ended up meeting my dad. He's a muggle. My brother showed signs of magic from when he was born, but Mum always played it off as a trick of the mind. Neville was seven when we moved to France, and I was six. I started to show signs only five months later, and my dad caught me so Mum couldn't play it off anymore. Mum ended up calling in her sister for help, so she moved up with us and brought her two sons with her."

Adreana's eyes were wide. "Did your dad leave your mum?"

"No," Avianna chuckled, digging through her trunk to see what Dumbledore ordered for her. "He was confused, and a little upset that Mum lied to him for all those years, but he stayed with us."

"I've never heard of a half-blood in Slytherin before," Adreana admitted. "I always thought it was impossible."

Thinking back to Tom Riddle, and Snape, Avianna hid her smirk behind her hair. "I wouldn't know," she shrugged her shoulders. "Beauxbaton didn't have houses like this."

"So why did you guys move here?"

"Dad's job transferred him back to England," she lied with another shrug of her shoulders. "He, Mum, and my aunt are living in muggle London, and my brother, cousins, and I all transferred to Hogwarts so we could be closer to them. Owls are faster flying between London and Hogwarts, than London and France."

"What house did your brother get sorted into?"

"Gryffindor," seeing the shock in Adreana's eyes, Avianna snickered. "Dumbledore and McGonagall had that same look. Neville's in seventh year in Gryffindor, and Scorpius is in sixth year in Gryffindor."

"Scorpius? He is your other cousin?"

"Yeah, he's Draco's brother."

There was a moment of silence while Adreana continued to stare at the odd girl in front of her. It was obvious by the look in her eyes that she was trying to figure out what type of person Avianna was. Finally she spoke again. "There aren't that much of us in sixth year Slytherin. There are only two other girls aside from us, but they're sort of annoying. Fiona Avery is the gossip of the school so be careful of what you say around her, and Jenny Bulstrode is constantly following Fiona around. I put up with them only because I'm stuck with them, but you seem like you'll be alright to hang out with."

"Err… thanks?" the idea of hanging out with somebody she grew up calling 'Nana' worried her, but Avianna knew she had to make friends in this time. She would never return back home, and she had to start fresh. Maybe she could even stop Adreana from killing all of her future husbands?

Adreana laughed, and Avianna could hear the screech in it; like a true witch – the type of cackling from muggle cartoons. It made her smile. Nana Adreana always laughed like that, and it was nice to know that Avianna wouldn't have to miss it. "Besides, your cousin is kind of cute."

Blanching at the idea of Draco's godmother checking him out, Avianna wondered just exactly how much they would affect this new future. Would Blaise go from a Zabini to a Mabry? "Wait until you see Scorpius," she smirked suddenly. This could be fun.

Avianna soon learned that Adreana's dad was first cousins with Sirius's mum. Wondering why nobody in her own time ever told her this before, Avianna also learned that Adreana's mum once suggested to Sirius's mum that they start a tradition of 'muggle hunting,' but once Adreana saw the fear in her new friend's eyes, she quickly assured her that she didn't feel that same way. Avianna knew it was true because Adreana loved Hermione in the future, and often joked that she wished Blaise ended up with Hermione instead of her godson, but Avianna was still worried about purebloods running around and hunting muggles just for the sport of it. Adreana also warned Avianna that it would be best if she didn't go around bragging about her half-blood status; she assured the girl that she didn't care if her dad was a muggle, but that some of their house mates may try to hurt him just to get to her. It relieved Avianna to know that she didn't have to worry about a muggle dad out there in any world being hunted down and killed, but it sickened her to hear this. She grew up knowing that there was once discrimination, but she didn't think she'd ever have to put up with it. Her world was already hate-free thanks to her parents and Uncle Harry.

Adreana was talking about a summer that she spent with her cousins at their home in Grimmauld Place, when she heard Avianna's stomach growling. "Are you hungry?" she asked.

Blushing, Avianna nodded her head. "Sorry, we arrived here at ten this morning, and we haven't eaten yet."

Adreana started to laugh. "Well, let's head down to the Great Hall already. It's about dinner time."

Entering the common room, Avianna saw Draco sitting on a couch surrounded by future Death Eaters. She could see the fear in his eyes as well, but at least he didn't look like he's just been tortured anymore. Dumbledore fixed him up while they were in his office, and they all learned that he was hit with the Cruciatus Curse at least three times before Snape managed to save him. Avianna knew they would all be in danger until they managed to kill Voldemort, but it wasn't until she saw the young versions of Michael Nott, Evan Rosier, Nick Crabbe, and Jeremy Goyle that she truly understood what time they were thrown into. All four of those young boys were dead in her own time – all killed as Death Eaters, and all four of them spent most of their lives in Azkaban. "Draco!" she called out, waving her hand, realizing how much Draco wanted to be pulled away from his new roommates.

Lifting his head, Draco seemed to sort of breathe a sigh of relief when he saw her. "Avianna," he called out, no longer showing the arrogant prat she first met. For the first time since being thrown into the old timeline, Avianna could see her dad in him. "Come, these are some of the seventh year blokes."

"Future Death Eaters," Adreana muttered underneath her breath. "It wouldn't do your cousin any good to become friends with them."

Smiling at the idea of Adreana being against Voldemort from when she was only sixteen years old, Avianna shook her head. "But he's forced to share a room with them for the next couple of months. Come, let's go save him."

"Alright," Adreana sighed. "But only because he's very nice to look at."

Avianna snorted. "At least you'll have something to look at while being surrounded by the future Death Eaters, then," she whispered to her new friend.

"You two look friendly," Draco noted, watching as the two young witches approached him.

Avianna nodded her head. "We were just headed to the Great Hall."

"So were we," Nott grinned, jumping up and wrapping his arm around the young girl's shoulder. "Your cousin wanted to wait for you though."

"How sweet," Avianna said, not wanting to groan in annoyance. It was this kid's future grandson's fault she was here anyway. If Vincent Nott didn't give her the bloody hickey in the first place, she and Scorpius wouldn't have been too busy arguing to notice the glowing light.

"These are my roommates," Draco announced, narrowing his eyes at the way Nott had his arm around Avianna. This girl was supposedly his daughter, and now she was meant to be his cousin. No guy should be having his arm around her… especially not his best friend's Death Eater father. "You already met Nott; this is Evan Rosier, Nick Crabbe, and Jeremy Goyle."

Avianna looked at each of them individually. She already knew who was who, simply because of their sons and grandkids. She had never met Vincent Crabbe because he got himself killed in the war, but she'd seen tons of pictures of him before. And Goyle looked just like his son, while Rosier was also known through pictures. Rosier never had a kid of his own, because he was killed when he was only twenty-one years old, but she recognized him from the pictures that Grandpa Lucius always showed her. They were close friends, only four years apart. "Hullo," she smiled kindly, pulling away from Nott. "So, it's just you four… well five with my cousin now?"

Crabbe shook his head. "We have one more. Severus Snape – he's probably in the library right now though."

"Or stalking Evans," Rosier laughed. Avianna tried her best not to look at him. She was nine when Grandpa Lucius first showed her the picture of Evan Rosier, and she's always had a sort of childish crush on him since then. He was extremely handsome with his shaggy light brown hair, his light blue eyes, his slightly tanned skin, and the laugh lines that bordered his lips.

Adreana rolled her eyes, "Leave Severus alone, Evan. They were friends once."

"Until he called her a Mudblood," Nott scoffed. "Oh, well, he's better off without hanging around people like her."

Avianna noticed the way that Draco tensed inside of the circle of his new roommates, and she tried her best not to flinch as well. She threw that word around a lot in the morning as well – when she was mocking Scorpius with it. And now she would never be able to apologize to her mum for it. "We're leaving now," she said with obvious disgust in her voice.

Nott looked up at her, and he could see the emotions in her eyes. "I'm sorry, Avianna, do you not like that word?"

"No," she said sticking her nose high up in the air – reminding Draco of the snobby bookworm from his own time, "I don't."

Jumping up from the edge of the couch where he was sitting, Rosier placed his arm over her shoulder. "Get used to it Sweetheart. Everybody in this house uses it."

"I don't," Adreana rolled her eyes. "And Avianna obviously doesn't," she reached out and started to pull the new girl closer to her. "And we're hungry. Draco, are you coming with us?"

Looking up at his amused looking roommates, Draco nodded his head then jumped up as well. "I want to see how Neville and Scorpius are doing anyway."

"We'll come with you guys," Goyle offered.

Walking next to Adreana, Avianna made sure her curls were still hiding the hickey from her own Nott. She could hear the boys behind her snickering about her hair, and it amused her to hear Draco cursing about it as well. Hermione's hair had always been the one thing that Draco hated about her, even after their marriage he hated her hair – it made it worse that Avianna had to inherit Hermione's untamable bush, but had it somewhat the Weasley red in it as well. Listening to Adreana talk about the four boys in their own year in Slytherin, Avianna tried to listen to the boys behind her as well. Uncle Blaise was always telling them that their own Crabbe and Goyle never talked; they only grunted when they wanted to communicate, so it was kind of weird to hear Crabbe Sr. and Goyle Sr. talking as much as they were. Looking back, she could see the amazement in Draco's face as well. If any good was to come out of this, maybe Draco could help give his friends a better life with their fathers in it. Hopefully there would be less Death Eaters this time around. As far as they knew from everything they were told about the two wizarding wars, Regulus Black is the only one with the dark mark right now.

"Avianna!"

Turning her head, Avianna saw Scorpius and Neville already sitting at the Gryffindor table. She saw that they were both surrounded by the Marauders and Lily Evans. "Is that your brother and cousin?" Adreana asked. Avianna nodded her head, and Adreana smirked. "You were right – your other cousin is cute as well. Let's go say hi to them."

Laughing, Avianna pulled on Draco's shirt while Adreana tugged her away from the large group. "C'mon, Draco."

Nott glanced at the direction they were headed in, and he shook his head. "We'll meet you at the table, Draco."

Draco nodded his head then slapped Avianna's hand away. "Bloody hell woman, I can walk."

It was weird to see Uncle Harry's parents alive and sitting next to each other, but Avianna knew it must have been even weirder for Neville. He actually grew up with Harry. Smiling as friendly as she could when she saw Remus Lupin, Sirus Black, James Potter, and Lily Evans, Avianna took the time to observe Uncle Harry's parents, Teddy's dad, and the man in the portrait who's watched her grow up since she was in nappies. It took all of her strength not to snarl at Pettigrew. "Hullo," she greeted, waving at all of them.

It was Neville who grinned back at her with a warm inviting look. "Avianna, Draco, these are my roommates. This is Remus Lupin, James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew," Avianna inwardly groaned when she saw Remus frown in confusion at the pitch in Neville's voice when he introduced Pettigrew. "And this is Lily Evans. This is my sister Avianna, and my cousin Draco."

"You look just like your brother Scorpius," Lily said in a kind voice to Draco. It was obvious that she was the only one actually alright with the idea of Slytherins standing at their table.

Draco blushed when Avianna and Scorpius snickered. "Err… thanks," it was obvious that he felt a bit weird hanging out with the dead parents of his enemy… and the traitor who got them killed.

"This is my roommate, Adreana Meliflua," Avianna announced.

Sirius smirked, "Hey Adrian."

"I told you not to call me that, Siri," Adreana groaned.

"Oi!" Sirius suddenly shouted. "Don't call me that in public."

"Then don't call me Adrian," Adreana replied in a childish tone.

Scorpius gave Avianna a confused look, and Avianna nodded her head to confirm that this was in fact, Nana Adreana. "So how do you two like your dorms so far?" Avianna asked, not caring that the Gryffindors thought it was odd they were still standing there.

"It's better than yours," Scorpius smirked. This was identical to their very first conversation in their first year after they woke up on their second morning.

Sticking her tongue out in a childish response, Avianna looked over at Pettigrew. "Is there a reason you keep staring at me?"

"You have a bruise on your neck," he pointed out, blushing at being caught.

Before her hand could reach out to fix her hair, Draco's hand suddenly touched the spot that Nott sucked on for a couple minutes before Uncle Harry caught them. "Oi! What the hell?"

Seeing Scorpius smirking, Avianna rolled her eyes. "Well, it was nice meeting all of you. We're going back to our own table now."

"Who gave you that?" Draco could be heard demanding while walking away.

Looking back at Remus, Avianna could see that they were still in his hearing range. "Nobody you can yell at this time. Besides, Dad, he was already threatened by Uncle Harry, and will most likely get hexed by his own dad, Theo."

Draco's eyes looked ready to bulge out of his head. "You mean… Theo?" Avianna blushed again then nodded her head. Draco suddenly frowned. "Is that why you and Scorpius were arguing most of the time?"

Avianna nodded her head. "It started the argument. I'll explain it later."

"Do you think…" Draco dropped his voice so that not even Adreana could hear them, and he started to scratch at the back of his neck, "… do you think that we could maybe talk later?"

Knowing that Draco was inconspicuously asking for stories from the future, Avianna nodded her head, "Later, when we're alone."

Draco wanted to sit with Avianna, but he knew that the only way to have any impact on the future was to sit with his own roommates, so he reluctantly told the girls goodbye. Nott and Rosier called Avianna over to sit with them, but she politely declined by claiming that she needed to get to know her own year mates, and that no bloke wanted their little cousin hanging around them. After enduring a couple of minutes of teasing by Adreana for the hickey, Avianna finally got food into her system. She met Jenny Bulstrode and Fiona Avery, and she decided that they were okay, but they wouldn't become best friends – simply just acquaintances that she put up with and tolerated. Like her future niece, Millicent, Jenny looked like she had some troll blood in her. She wasn't over six feet tall or muscular with broad shoulders though – she was just ugly with mousy brown hair, black colored eyes, and crooked teeth. Fiona wasn't mentioned much when Avianna was growing up, simply because she was killed only two years after this year during a Death Eater raid. She wasn't a Death Eater, but her brother was, and she got killed in the crossfire. Fiona was only mildly beautiful – she had short blonde curls that ended at her shoulders, and light brown eyes with a large pointy nose. The way she gossiped reminded Avianna of the stories that she heard about Lavender Brown. Hopefully Fiona's life wouldn't be cut short this time around, and she could grow into a better reporter that the ones that Avianna grew up hearing about.

Avianna learned all about how sixth year Hufflepuff Rita Skeeter got caught in Moaning Myrtle's loo with seventh year Ravenclaw Gilderoy Lockhart. It was only because of the stories that she heard about each of them that made Avianna laugh as much as much as she did. She also heard something about Alice Higgs, a seventh year Hufflepuff, already being engaged to her longtime boyfriend, Frank Longbottom, who graduated two years before. Avianna knew Neville would love learning that. Sixth year Edith Vane of Gryffindor was found locked in a closet by some second year Hufflepuff, nobody knew who did it but they all suspected a Ravenclaw girl that Vane had been teasing for being a nerd. Mulciber, whose in their year and house, had sent a curse at Mary MacDonald who's in sixth year in Gryffindor – but both Fiona and Jenny agreed that it was because Mulciber had a thing for the poor girl.

Listening to Fiona start describing how boring it was in Transfiguration, Avianna looked up and saw Regulus sitting down across from her. "I heard that you and one of your cousins got into my house," he grinned. "Welcome to Slytherin."

"Thanks," she grinned back. "My brother and other cousin got into Gryffindor."

"Ouch," he winced. "Some siblings are known to fall apart when placed in those two houses."

Looking back at where Scorpius was laughing at something that James was telling him, Avianna grinned and shook her head. She looked back at Regulus. "Not when we've already been through too much together."

"That's good," agreed Regulus with a short nod of his head. He noticed that she looked at her 'cousin' instead of Neville, but figured she meant both of them. "I wish I could say the same."

"Oh, right," she took a bite of her potatoes, "Your brother is in Gryffindor."

"Sirius," Adreana announced, as if wanting them to remember about her. "The one you met."

"The one that called you Adrian?"

"The only other one in this school with grey eyes," Adreana corrected her then frowned. "Well, aside from your cousin Draco. You're sure he's not related to the Blacks?"

Making sure to hide her smirk while dipping her head to scoop up more potatoes, Avianna nodded her head. "I'm sure."

"Down, Adri," Regulus rolled his eyes. Snorting while he looked up at Avianna, he said "We all tease her that she's going to become a Black Widow. She goes through boyfriends the way one goes through shirts."

Choking on her food while trying to hide her laughter, Avianna saw the incredulous looks she was getting. "Sorry," she snickered. "We had this Nana who sort of was a Black Widow."

Adreana suddenly had a dreamy look on her face. "Smart woman, your nana was."

Avianna bit her lip from trying to hold back her laughter too much. Regulus seemed to notice it, so he raised his eyebrow in a questioning way. "It's sort of an inside thing," she told him. "Only Draco, Scorp, and Neville will get it," giving the dreamy looking Adreana a sly look, Avianna chuckled. "Sort of…"

Regulus nodded his head in understanding. "I'll figure it out one of these days."

"Sure," Avianna smirked.

Seeing the infamous Malfoy smirk on the girl's face, Regulus became even more confused. "So… how do you like Hogwarts so far?"

"It's okay," she shrugged her shoulders. It was hard to pretend she was new to this school when she's spent five years here, but she had to play it off like a new girl from Beauxbaton. "It's no Beauxbaton, but I haven't seen all of it yet. Just the headmaster's office, Slytherin dungeons, and now the Great Hall."

"That's already the best parts. Well… you know, aside from Dumbledore's office."

Later that night, Avianna stood in front of the mirror in the showers. Draco seemed to be fine at dinner once Snape arrived… until he saw Avianna and Regulus laughing with each other. He decided to suddenly act like an annoying father, or an irritating brother, and left his own year mates so he could sit and eat with them. Avianna was always used to the males in her family getting annoyed whenever she talked to some bloke. When Hermione was at Hogwarts, she hid her beauty behind her bushy hair and her brains, but Avianna was different. Growing up with a Veela aunt, Veela cousins, and as a Malfoy, Avianna showed off her looks. It was because of her looks, and how she wore it with pride, that she was instantly labeled as a whore. It didn't matter that she was a virgin because boys in school would spread lies, and she became known as the whore of Hogwarts. It hurt to know that her own brother and cousins believed the lies, but they were in a new time now and nobody knew her status. Looking forward to starting out fresh without any lies being told about her reputation, Avianna sighed at her reflection.

If only she didn't rebel out against her parents – maybe she could actually pass off as an innocent girl. It wasn't as if she rebelled in every possible, but she and her cousins all did minor things to make their parents want to kill all of them. When Aunt Ginny took Lily to pierce her ears for her tenth birthday, Avianna begged to go with them. Her mum told her she already had her ears pierced, but she wanted more holes than the one that she already had. It wasn't until Lavender, Dominique, Roxanne, Alice, Jasmine, and Stephenie cried that all of the parents finally gave in. When Lily got her own second hole for her thirteenth birthday the others all got their third. All of the cousins – Lily finally got her third one for her fourteenth birthday – now had a tiny white diamond in the cartridge of each ear, while they had two in each earlobe. It may be innocent in the year she came from, but in the 1970s, more than one hole in your ear meant something sinister. Avianna was the only girl in Hogwarts with more than one earring, but she wouldn't take them out – they reminded her of home.

It was Victoire's twentieth birthday when all of the girls in the family did something else. Alice, Lavender, Stephenie, and Jasmine may not have been blood, but they were raised as such so they were treated as such – to the point that they even did something stupid with all of the Weasley cousins. Victoire wanted to get a tattoo for her birthday, so Uncle Theo reluctantly agreed to call one of his cousins when Uncle Bill and Aunt Fleur gave their permission for their daughter to get a tattoo. None of the adults were counting on every single younger girl of the family to get something as well. Lily was the youngest one at only thirteen when they did it, but she got one as well – an infinity symbol on the inside of their left wrist. They got the symbol because they would forever be family, and they got it on their left wrist because it was closer to their heart. It had been an entire year since they all got that tattoo, and their parents just got over what they did, when the boys all decided they didn't want to be the only ones without tattoos. So once again they convinced Uncle Theo's cousin to do one for them, but they wanted the girls with them. The circle on the inside of Avianna's right wrist symbolized how their bonds will never be able to break – they will go on forever. Victoire, Dominique, Roxanne, Avianna, Lily, Lavender, Stephenie, Alice, and Jasmine all had the circles on the inside of their right wrists so they could be close to the other tattoo. Teddy, James, Albus, Scorpius, Louis, Freddie, Lysander, and Shawn all got the circles right over their left breast. It's been only five months since they got that tattoo, and their parents still wanted to kill them for it.

Dressed in only a pair of blue knickers and a black colored tank-top, Avianna smiled when she saw the tattoo on her left hip. This was another identical tattoo, one shared between only certain people. She loved all of her cousins, but most of them were broken off into groups. The group that got this particular tattoo consisted of herself, Scorpius, James, Albus, Louis, Freddie, Shawn, and Lavender. It was a tattoo of a dove taking up half of their hip, and the wings of the dove were lined up with each of their names – Avianna Rose, Lavender Patricia, Louis William, James Sirius, Albus Severus, Fred Fabian, Shawn Declan, Scorpius Hyperion – the names were so tiny and constantly moving due to the magical ink that you could only read them if your face was right above it. If someone were to see the tattoo they wouldn't even know the wings were made up of names. Pressing her fingers to the dove, Avianna smiled to herself.

Yes, she would start out fresh. She would make a new name for herself, and she would help both Draco and Neville change themselves as well. They were all sent here to change the future for the better without having anybody die for the greater good, and they would include themselves. "Why are you staring at yourself as if you've just had an epiphany?"

Laughing when she saw her new friend standing behind her in the mirror, Avianna pulled on the soft white cottoned shorts that McGonagall supplied her with. "Because I kind of did," she grinned. Leaving her dirty clothes in a pile on the floor, Avianna knew that the house-elves would make sure she had them back by morning. That faded orange shirt she wore belonged to her biological dad from when he was in his fifth year at Hogwarts – she didn't want to lose it at all.

"Your cousin is sitting in the common room," Adreana informed her. "He wants to talk to you."

"Okay," she nodded her head. "Thanks."

Entering the common room, Avianna blushed when she saw Regulus sitting next to Draco. Regulus was also showered and changed into his pajamas – a pair of grey sweats and a baggy white long sleeved t-shirt that seemed to fall to his waist. His curls were still damp and clung to his face, leaving a wet mark on his shirt wherever it touched. Seeing the shine coming from his dark storm colored eyes, Avianna wondered when he turned into such a dark person. According to Sirius, whenever she spoke to his portrait, Regulus was a Death Eater from his sixth year – just like Draco – and he hardly ever joked or smiled. It was hard to picture the depressed Regulus when she was staring right at a joyful looking version of him. Draco was the first one to spot her. His eyes rose when he took in her pajamas, which brought her to Regulus's attention.

"Adreana said you wanted to talk to me?" Avianna asked, feeling shy all of a sudden. This may have been her dad in her own time, but he's straight out of a time where he hated people with her blood – literally!

Clearing his throat, Regulus quickly jumped off of the couch. "Uhh, I'm gonna go to bed already. I'll see you in the morning."

Scratching her arm, in a way that Draco recognized as his own habit from when he's nervous, Avianna smiled up at the boy. "Goodnight, Regulus."

Looking conflicted for only two seconds, Regulus smiled back. "Goodnight, Avianna."

Once positive that they were alone in their own little dark corner, Draco hissed, "He's my bloody cousin."

Blushing, Avianna pulled her legs up underneath her body. "I only said goodnight."

Draco rolled his eyes, continuing to stare at her. "What are you wearing?"

"It's what McGonagall supplied me with," Avianna shrugged her shoulders. "It's too hot to wear pants. I just got out of the shower when Adreana called me so I came straight down here. Did you want to talk about my time?"

Draco nodded his head. "If this is weird for me, I can only imagine how it is for you and Scorpius."

"You mean because you're our dad, my new best friend is my fourth grandmum, the grandfather of the guy who gave me this hickey just this morning is flirting with me, and I know what happens to every single person in this house?" Draco nodded his head with a distant look on his face. Avianna sighed then settled into the couch. "Scorp and I will be fine. We may be stuck here forever, but we have each other. Uncle Neville has it worse."

Draco slowly nodded his head. "I wonder how he's going to act when he sees his mum in class tomorrow. Gryffindor has Herbology with Hufflepuff in the morning."

"I think that's why he was brought here," Avianna admitted with a small smile, "He's been given the chance to get to know his parents."

"Why do you think I was brought here?"

"To give you the chance to change your parents."

"Why didn't you tell us everything about your time?"

Avianna shrugged her shoulders. "I honestly don't think it's any of Dumbledore or McGonagall's business about everything. We told them enough to fix everything, but they don't need to know everything else."

"I heard you call my father, Grandpa Lucius?" Avianna saw the way that Draco seemed to be struggling with his emotions, and she laughed. Hearing her laugh at him, Draco blushed. "I mean, your mum is a Mud – muggle-born – he can't have been okay with that…"

"Mum was captured during their Horcrux hunt," Avianna sighed. Looking around to make sure that they were still alone, she leaned in closer to whisper just in case. "It was her, Ron, and Uncle Harry-"

"Why do you call him Ron?"

"Because you're my dad," seeing Draco flinch, Avianna chuckled. "I was three when he was killed, so I grew up knowing only you. I mean I still love him and I acknowledge him, and sometimes I even miss him, but I got lucky with you as a dad. You loved me as if you were my real dad, and I didn't learn the truth until I was seven when you and Mum got married and I wanted to know why I had red hair like Lily."

Draco chuckled. "I really don't want to hear about me and Granger right now."

"Right," Avianna winked. "We'll tell you later. Anyway, they were captured by these Snatchers, and they were taken to your manor. You were all only seventeen at the time, and you were home from school. Aunt Luna had been a prisoner in your dungeons since the first day of Christmas holidays so you insisted to drop out of school so you could sneak food to her and Ollivander. If it weren't for you, Aunt Luna would have died of torture and starvation."

Draco looked like he didn't know whether to scoff, cry, or laugh. "I – I saved Lovegood?"

"And Mum," Avianna nodded her head. "When they were taken to the manor, Bellatrix demanded you to tell her if they were who she thought they were. Mum hexed Uncle Harry to change his features, you see. You automatically knew who they were, because Mum and Ron looked like themselves, but you lied and claimed that you didn't know. Eventually Grandmum Cissy outted Mum as the Mudblood from Madam Malkins. Uncle Harry and Ron were taken down to the dungeons, and Mum was tortured."

"By my aunt?"

"In front of you," Avianna nodded her head. "You stood there, crying, unable to look away when Mum was tortured. Mum was cursed and carved with a knife," lifting her left arm, Avianna traced the letters on her own skin with her finger. "M – U – D – B – L – O – O – D! To remind Mum of what she is. Dobby ended up rescuing them after an hour of being tortured, but Dobby died in the process. Three weeks later the war happened, and you, Crabbe, and Uncle Greg were all running through the Room of Requirements to claim your wand back. Mum stole Bellatrix's, and Uncle Harry stole yours when they escaped your manor. When you found Uncle Harry, you lowered your wand, unable to fight him. You just wanted him to kill you to end it all-"

Draco noticed the tears in the girl's eyes. "Did I tell you this part of the story?"

"You were the one who told us all of it," she nodded her head. "Mum and Uncle Harry didn't want us to know the truth of when you were younger. You felt that we had the right to know why some people would treat us different for being Malfoys, and why some people didn't like the idea of you marrying Mum."

Draco nodded his head. "Then what happened?"

"Crabbe tried to kill Mum with the killing curse," Draco gasped, but Avianna continued, "Then he set the Room of Requirements on fire with Fiendfyre, and he was killed by it. Uncle Harry saved your life, and Ron saved Goyle's life. Uncle Harry ended up dying later that night when he sacrificed himself in order to destroy the Horcrux living inside of him. He was somewhat revived after a vision of Dumbledore, and Grandmum Cissy was the one sent by Voldemort to see if he was still alive. She felt his pulse then asked if you were still alive, and when Uncle Harry nodded his head she lied directly to Voldemort. It was because of that that Uncle Harry was able to kill Voldemort. The Golden Trio spoke for your family in court, and got all three of you pardoned from being sentenced to the Dementors Kiss, or from Azkaban. You spent an entire year in depression then fell in love with Astoria Greengrass. Uncle Harry and Ron helped you to become an Auror and you ran into Mum again when she was the Healer to do your check up in order to become cleared as an Auror, and all of those who survived the war became extremely close – including you.

"You were Ron's partner when he was killed that night on a mission, and you arrived at our house while Uncle Harry was delivering the news. You walked into the house, packed me a bag, grabbed me, then you took me to your manor. Astoria wasn't home, but your parents were. Grandpa Lucius was the one who took me from your arms and told you to go and check on my mum. You two became closer friends than Mum and Uncle Harry, and eventually Astoria grew tired of it. We were at Lysander and Alice's fifth birthday party when some random bloke showed up at Uncle Neville and Aunt Luna's house, and Astoria ended up pulling out papers right then and demanded that you two get a divorce. You did it without hesitation, and she signed over all rights to Scorpius. Mum grabbed me and Scorpius then flooed us to Grandpa Lucius and Grandmum Cissy, she explained what happened, left us with them then went back to grab you. She nursed you back to health the same way you helped nurse her. Two years later you got married, and you became an over-protective father to a half-blood girl who gave you grey hair at a young age."

There was a tiny smile on Draco's face. It was obvious that he was broken and disturbed when listening to what happened to Hermione at his manor while he watched, and what happened to one of his good friends, but he liked knowing that his dad was eventually able to accept a muggle-born into the Malfoy family. "You and Scorpius do act like real siblings."

"We are," Avianna sighed. "There was a huge fight this morning. I snuck into Uncle Harry's manor at two in the morning, and bloody James and Albus told Scorpius about it. It made it worse when bloody Nott had to send him an owl saying I'm good with my tongue."

"Aakjshfhwflkef…" Draco began to sputter words that made no sense at all.

Avianna rolled her eyes. "All we did was snog. Trust me, I hate Nott as much as the you right now hates Uncle Harry. There isn't even a chance of it turning into a Malfoy-Granger love story. We were both somewhat drunk, and we were arguing about Quidditch then somehow we started to snog. Uncle Harry walked in on us while coming home late from work, and he threatened Nott then he told me to hurry up and get upstairs before you got home from work and killed me. But Nott is such a bloody git that he started up shit. Knowing Uncle Harry he's going to tell Uncle Theo, but he won't tell Dad… well you… cause then Nott will get worse than hexed. The last guy I dated who left me a hickey left Hogwarts because you paid off Scorpius and all of my cousins to hex him every time he took a step. Peeves even got in on the action just because Uncle George paid him a visit filled with a large box of his shop's new products that needed to be tested."

"You definitely don't get that from Granger," Draco scowled. "Bloody Weasley!"

Avianna started to laugh. "That's what you say every time I get into trouble for something. Uncle Neville and Aunt Pansy always blame you though. Even Nana Adreana says I get my attitude from you."

Draco groaned. "I can see it in your smirk."

"That's what Uncle Blaise always says. I was in Hogsmeade with Jasmine – Uncle Blaise's daughter – one day, and I smirked at this fifth year running past us, then some woman who I guess you used to shag while at Hogwarts nearly had a heart attack. We had to call Uncle George to come and save me, because the woman started to cry that she wanted to be my mum and only she could love you right," when Draco's eyes went wide, Avianna shook her head, "It happens in your sixth year. Well, in my time at least… the time when you accepted the mark and the task."

Draco nodded his head to show that he understood. "I have the feeling that you left out the true reason of why you and Scorpius fought this morning, though?"

"In my time, at Hogwarts," Avianna sighed, "There's a certain reputation about me. None of it is true, but I guess all the boys wanted it to be known that they slept with the daughter of Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Draco Malfoy. I promise you that none of it is true, but I guess Scorpius got tired of having to defend me. After Nott's letter he started to shout that the rumors were true, that I'm a whore and slag, and that I'm not his family," wiping the tears that were threatening to fall, Avianna took in a deep breath then shook her head. "A lot of hateful things were said by both of us. He admitted that he regretted you marrying my mum, and I shouted that I was going to stop defending him against all the people that accused him of being a Death Eater wannabe, and he sort of shot a spell at me causing me to fly through the air."

Draco's eyes were huge. "What?"

"I'm fine though, and so is he. I ran upstairs crying, and James came in to comfort me. It was when James was comforting me that Scorpius came to apologize. We started to argue and fight some more, then we decided to take it to you and Mum. We both knew that you would defend me while Mum defended him, and neither of us wanted to admit that we were guilty so we wanted you to both settle it for us. But that was when the timeline light thing showed up, and we ended up in your timeline."

Draco scratched at his chin. "Blimey!"

Avianna nodded her head. "Listen, I'm really tired. And talking about home makes me kind of miss it. I'm going upstairs to sleep right now. Draco, you do become a better person. You loved me as your own blood after all, and I'm a hard person to love."

"Can I just ask one question?" Avianna nodded her head. "Why would Granger fall in love with me after I stood there, watching her being cursed for an hour by my own aunt?"

Avianna smiled and leaned in so she could whisper into his ear. "Every time Bellatrix would move the knife to carve over a vein, Mum would see you lift your wand while muttering something. Mum also felt a numbing sensation take over her arm. You saved Mum knowing you would be killed in turn," Avianna then pulled away. "You were also crying the entire time. It was your mum who stopped you from running into the center of the room to kill your aunt."

"Did Granger tell Pothead and the Weasel?"

Avianna smirked. "Why do you think they fought so hard to keep your dad out of Azkaban? The two of them felt they owed you a thousand life debts for protecting the girl they both loved, but you claimed to hate."

Taking in the words, Draco watched the girl stand up. He finally smiled and nodded his head. "Goodnight, Avianna."

Thinking back to the Draco that she left back in her own timeline, Avianna could feel the tears starting up again. "Goodnight, Daddy," she whispered.

Entering the room, Avianna saw that her three roommates were already sleeping. Walking to her bed, she pulled the emerald curtains to shut out the light from the moon. From a far distance she could hear the faint howling coming from the Forbidden Forest, while a dog barked somewhere near it. Smiling to herself at the idea of being able to save the people that her uncle Harry loved the most, but never got the chance to completely know, Avianna shut her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

So I know that there were more than just six Death Eaters at the Ministry battle, but there's a reason I only have those certain Death Eaters down, instead all twelve that were actually there… Please review! I really do love reviews! They keep my blood yellow and they make me all fuzzy inside!(: What do you guys think about Draco's reactions? I tried to make it real by keeping him speechless, but I also wrote this to help with Writer's Block, so I really do want to know what you guys like or didn't like about it… Next chapter introduces MY personal favorite people in this entire story!(:

Preview of next chapter:

Draco leaned against the tree. His left ankle was crossed with his right. "Neville melted the cauldron in Potions."

Seeing Scorpius and Avianna both staring at him with wide eyes, Neville blushed then shrugged his shoulders. "Snape was my partner and I sort of lost my cool. He still scares me."

The three others were laughing loudly, drawing attention from a certain group of sixth year Slytherins. Avianna didn't notice them until they were already standing in front of them. "Hey, Avianna."

Looking up at them, Avianna tried not to cower away. She continued to lay with her head in her brother's lap though. "Hey guys. You're not eating lunch?"

Flint looked up towards the castle. "We wanted to check on something first. We're headed up there right now. Are you gonna come up?"

"Nah," she shook her head. "I'm not really hungry. And we're sort of all comparing our first classes so far."

Mulciber looked over at Scorpius, "Hey, Mabry. Too bad that slug jinx didn't work. I've always wanted to see someone puke up slugs."

"Yeah," Scorpius chuckled. "My uncle got hit with it once when he was young, so I sort of wanted to see it up close too."

Lestrange saw Neville staring at him as if he knew him from somewhere, so he shifted uncomfortably. "You're Avianna's brother right?"

Looking between Neville and Lestrange, Avianna finally sat up. "Yeah, this is my brother Neville Lange, and I don't know if you guys met my cousin Draco yet."

"Hey," Draco nodded his chin up at them. He instantly recognized all three Slytherins and he was worried about how Neville would react to them… especially to his uncle.

Lestrange looked over at Draco, and scrunched up his face. "Uhh, you're in seventh year right?" Draco nodded his head. "Yeah, I think I saw you with Severus earlier."

"So how do you guys like Hogwarts so far?" Flint asked.

Draco looked over at Neville. "Well, it's different, that's for sure."

Lestrange chuckled. "I can imagine. Well, I'm hungry, so we're gonna head up to the Great Hall already. See you in class, Avianna."

"Yeah," she nodded her head. Once they were gone, she held onto her stomach then turned to look at Neville. "Are you okay, Neville?"

"That was Rabastan Lestrange and Mulciber," he said in a firm voice. "I recognize Mulciber because he's the one who tried killing Luna three months ago, and I recognize Lestrange because he's one of the ones who drove my parents into insanity. I don't know the third one."
