Chapter 2
The girls landed in a heap on the floor. They quickly jumped up and scanned their surrondings before glancing at each other with wide eyes.
"We did it, we actually did it!" exclaimed Ginny as she gathered Hermione and Luna into a hug that would have rivaled one of Mrs. Wealsey's.
Hermione was the first to break out of the hug. "Yes, I know! But, we need to go see Dumbledore now to inform him about our mission the future him gave us."
A voice broke into their converstion. "No need to search; I am here. Why don't you follow me to my office where I'm sure you'd be more comfortable to have this converstion." All of the girls quickly looked up to only see twinkling blue eyes. Eyes that they hadn't seen in a year.
Luna calmly looked at him and said in a slightly dreamy voice," Of course, Headmaster."
As the girls settled into the plush arm chairs in Dumbledore's office, the man regarded them with a slightly suspicious glint in his eyes. The girls didn't look like much, but he knew not to let apperances fool you. He could tell that the trio were all very beautiful. The girl on the right had auburn hair that went a little past her shoulders. She had deep blue eyes that reminded him of saphires and that complemented her pale face quite well. She was the tallest, probablly about 5'6" or 5'7".
The girl on the left had an almost ethereal look to her. She had silvery blonde hair to her shoulder blades and large silvery blue eyes that matched her perfet porcelain skin. If he had to guess, he would say she probably has some veela or elf blood in her. She wasn't as tall as the red-head but was still about 5'5".
The obvious leader, the girl in middle, had deep mahagony hair with blonde highlights mixed throughout down to her waist. Her amber eyes were stunning against her tan skin. Her petite frame of only 5'2" didn't subtract from the power in her gaze. She was studying him as if he were a relative she hadn't seen in a long time.
He soon broke the silence,"Ladies it seems as if you know who I am but could you possibly inform me as to whom you three are?"
The leader looked startled for a second,"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm Hermione Granger and these two are Luna Lovegood and Ginny Weasley." She replied, pointing to each girl respectively.
"Now that the introductions are out of the way, could you inform me what you three are doing in Hogwarts in the middle of the night during the summer holidays. Noone is supposed to be in the school at this time."
Hermione again responded," Sir, we are from twenty years in the future. You had informed us before you died that if Voldemort was going to win the war then we were to travel back in time and stop him before he could first rose to power."
Dumbledore again regarded them before replying," It seems as though I am lacking on information. Could you please inform me about what has happened in the last twent years?"
The next few hours were spent on a tale about the-boy-who-lived and his defeat of Voldemort, Voldemort's return, and the lives lost along the way.
Once the trio finished their tale, Dumbledore, for once, appeared to be shaken. "I understand why I would have sent you back. There is much we need to do. The best course of action I believe would be to enroll you three as students next year. I believe that all three of you could be 7th years. Now, your cover story will be that you were homeschooled and decided it would be safer at Hogwarts for your final year. You will be sorted along with the 1st years at the beginning of the year. Tomorrow you can go to Diagon Alley for school supplies. You can sleep in Gryffindor tower for the rest of summer. Now, off to bed with you three."
As the trio left the Headmaster's office and walked to Gryffindor tower, they were all lost in thought. They soon arrived and quickly settled into bed with thoughts of what would happen tomorrow buzzing through their minds.
