AN: I am not JK Rowling.

Harry, Ron, Neville, Draco and I slowly made our way out of the Potions classroom and up the stairs towards the Headmaster's office. Neville was shaking and I grabbed his hand to give him some form of comfort. He gave me a shaky smile and we came to a stop in front of the gargoyles that sat in front of Dumbledore's office.

"Crap how are we going to get up there?" I asked pushing my hair out of my face.

"What about listing off a bunch of candy?" Ron asked his eyes wide.

"Its worth a shot." Draco said shrugging. We started spouting off every candy we could think of muggle and wizard alike but the statue wouldn't move.

"Stupid statue what else could Dumbledore have used?" The gargoyle jumped aside and we looked at each other in confusion.

"The password is Dumbledore?" Harry said surprised scratching his head. Neville shrugged and we made our way up the steps.

"Who should knock?" Ron asked looking around nervously.

"Harry should he's Dumbledore's favorite." Neville said biting his lip.

"I think its pretty obvious Longbottom that Dumbledore is no longer the Headmaster." Draco said before stepping forward and knocking sharply on the door. A soft "come in" was all we heard. I took a deep breath and opened the door.

The office looked exactly the same. Except for one thing that made my breath catch in my throat. A portrait of Dumbledore was on the wall. My heart clenched and a bit the inside of my cheek hard. I would not cry. The chair was turned away so I couldn't see who the new headmaster was. A moment later the chair turned and my eyes almost bugged out of my head.

"Uncle Severus?" Draco asked surprised his eyes wide.

Severus Snape was sitting behind the desk a soft smile on his face I had never seen before. His hair was graying by his ears and he had a pair of glasses perched on his crooked nose. But the thing that was the greatest surprise was the gold wedding band on his finger. Who would marry him? I shivered trying not to show my revulsion.

"Draco!" Severus said surprised. He looked at us his mouth dropping open in shock before he closed his mouth. "You look so young."

"And you look so -"

"Watch it!" Snape said cutting Draco off a glint in his eye. I bit my cheek so I wouldn't laugh. "What did all of you do? Drink a youth potion for a game?"

"Not exactly Professor." I said nervously biting my lip.

"Hermione, you haven't called me Professor in years." Snape said leaning closer to look at us as if the prescription of his glasses weren't strong enough.

"Years?" I asked faintly my heart pounding loudly in my chest.

"I think we should start from the beginning." Neville said rubbing the back of his neck. It took us awhile to fill Snape in on all that happened. The confusion was gone from his eyes anger replacing it once we were done.

"Bloody idiot!" Snape said taking off his glasses to rub his eyes. "I always knew Slughorn was a fool."

"Why is he a fool?" Harry asked his arms crossed as he leaned against the wall.

"Because the potion he was working on doesn't send you to the past." I swallowed thickly my hands shaking. "It sends you to the future."

Neville squeaked, Ron paled, Harry looked at Snape his mouth open in shock and Draco looked sick. "Did you see how much Time Turner dust he put in there?"

"Not too much." Ron said his eyes squinted in thought.

"How much did her mix it?" Snape asked turning around to grab a book from a bookcase. He quickly started to flip through the pages looking for the exact potion.

"Someone," I threw a glare at Draco but he glared right back. "put a dungbomb in the potion. It kind of turned into a mini-whirlpool and exploded."

Snape cursed and rubbed his eyes a dark look on his face.

"Why what does the number of times he stirred it matter?" Harry asked running his fingers through his hair making it messier than usual.

"It determines how far into the future you go." Snape said reading the potion carefully. "What year did you say it was when you left?"

"We didn't." Neville said frowning. "It was 1997 right after the New Year."

Snape leaned back and blew out a lungful of air. I shifted nervously waiting for him to tell us the year. Quite a few had obviously passed if I was somehow on a first name basis with Snape.

"Its 2022." I froze my heart clenching in my chest. We had gone twenty five years into the future.

"Does that mean our kids are going here now?" Neville asked his face red.

"Who would marry you?" Draco asked snidely. I whacked his arm but I knew it didn't hurt him. Besides he was too distracted to even care.

"Yes all of you have kids here." I buried my face in my hands trying to control my emotions. Don't you dare cry! It took me a moment to make my heart slow down.

"How long will it take you to figure out how to get us back?" I asked my voice shaky.

"I have no idea Hermione. It will take me some time to figure out how many turns it will take to bring you back to your own time. Until then you will be continuing your education as if you had never left but you will be charmed to look different and use different names. You all are too famous for your own good and it would become complicated to try and explain everything."

"Are you going to warn us who our spouses are?" Harry asked his face pale. Snape smirked and my stomach churned uncomfortably.

"No I will let you figure that out on your own." A devilish smile spread across. "Have fun."
