Chapter 3:
Discoveries
Draco was walking up so many random stairs and floors, that Hermione couldn't keep track. He walked up to a door and waited there.
"This was my study," Draco said.
Hermione nodded. Draco opened the door slowly. It had changed, like the whole house. It was no longer his study room. There were two desks, shelves full of papers and drawers which he assumed also full of papers.
"Well we both work," Draco noted. Hermione walked over to the desk by the window, she assumed it was hers and when she found a bright purple quill on the table she knew it was hers. She had always bought one purple quill because she liked them. There were no photos, no nothing on the table.
"Maybe one of these papers will tell us what we do," Hermione grabbed a few letters on her desk. Just bills.
"Potion company," Draco said after a while of searching.
"I'm sorry what?" Hermione asked confused.
"We own Malfoy's Potions," Draco said passing her the letter.
There on the letter, more specifically the letterhead, stated that they did run Malfoy Potions.
"There must be documents on the business somewhere," Hermione mumbled but Draco heard her.
They searched the room, they found many bills, many potion ingredients and instructions as well as a few letters from friends.
"Blaise and Brown!" Draco chuckled as he looked at a letter his best friend had sent him.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Blaise married Lavender," he grinned.
"No!" Hermione took the letter out of his hand. "WOW!"
Draco smiled, "Who would have thought."
Hermione agreed, "Maybe we're not in the future."
"So where are we? The past," Draco rolled his eyes.
"Parallel universe," Hermione started, "a self-contained separate reality coexisting with our own…if Blaise married Lavender and you and I married, it can't be real can it. I mean we don't love each other. We can barely stand each other so it must be another universe."
Draco watched her, "Maybe, maybe not, what ever it is, we need to work out what our lives are here and then we can work out leaving."
"Why aren't we working out the leaving part first?" Hermione questioned.
"Use your brain, if someone comes over and asks us something, and we don't know, they might think we're impostors, especially if Voldermort's still alive."
"Oh," Hermione blushed.
"Yea, oh!" Draco rolled his eyes.
Hermione cursed under her breath as she opened another drawer and pulled out a folder, "Head Employment Records." She read. She slowly opened it and read the list:
Presidents: Draco and Hermione Malfoy
Head of Beauty Potions: Ginerva Potter
Head of Healing Potions: Susan Bones
Head of Poisons: Blaise Zabini
Head of Charmed Potions: Ernie MacMillian
Head of Potions for Pets: Leslie Timson
Head of Love Potions: George Clanina
Head of Night Potions: Mary Sue Louise Diara
Head of Sleeping Potions: Norton Visulataraman
Head of OTHER: Sally Junes
"Here look at this," Draco handed her a folder.
"You look at this one," Hermione passed him the folder, as she opened the one he gave him. She looked over at all the companies they supplied, and their annual turnover was immense! Their beauty potions were flying off the shelf by the looks of the sales. Their poisons weren't doing too good, but then again they were poisons for animals not for humans as most people thought. Hermione smiled, she was successful.
"We employ over three hundred," Draco smirked. "My father had never done anything like this."
Hermione looked at him, he was smiling, genuinely smiling and she was shocked by it.
"What?" he sneered.
"Nothing," Hermione went back to going through papers. She found her own personal letters, most from Ginny and then one from Ron. "NO WAY!"
"What is it?" Draco asked walking to her.
Hermione just pushed the paper to him, she was in shock.
"Weasley and Luna!" Draco laughed. "WOW!"
"Ron and Luna," Hermione whispered. "Shocker!"
Draco turned to her, "Please tell me you don't have feelings for the Weasel?"
"No," Hermione answered. "I did once but not anymore."
"Right," Draco nodded. "I think we're done here."
"We are?"
"Well we worked out who our friends are, and who their married to, we worked out who works for us, what our company does and our annual income. Not bad."
Hermione nodded, "Can we do some research then?"
"There's the mudblood we all know. Research twenty four seven."
"For a second there, I thought you were being civil, but I was wrong wasn't I?" Hermione narrowed her eyes. "You're a slimy ferret."
"Snakes are slimy, not ferrets!"
"Fine you're a snake! A loser! A ferret! Horrible little…" Hermione began.
"What huh?" Draco stepped towards her, naturally Hermione took a step back. "What am I?"
"A prat," Hermione whispered. She realised how weak she sounded, she raised her voice, "A prat, a complete insufferable prat." She didn't realise she was walking backwards until she had hit the wall. She was trapped.
"Granger trapped," Draco snarled. "Listen, you're a Know it all, aggravating mudblood."
"Yea well…" Hermione's voice was quivering.
Draco grinned, "Scared huh?"
"No!" Hermione said. Why is he so close to me?
Their bodies were a millimetre away from touching. Draco had put his palms on the wall above her head and was grinning at her. Hermione looked up at him.
"I think you are scared," Draco whispered. "Or…or you fancy me."
Hermione pushed him hard, "In your dreams!"
Draco chuckled, "You're easy to wind up."
"Whatever!" Hermione puffed. "I'm going to the library."
She walked out of the room and walked left.
"Granger!" Draco called.
"What?" she shouted.
"Library's on the right, and up the stairs," he smirked.
"Fine!" Hermione turned back and he saw her stomping past the doorway. He grinned as he used his wand to put all the papers back.
Hermione was pacing the shelves furious. He is so cocky! I don't fancy him! As if! I can't believe I'm here, maybe this is a nightmare! I can't believe this! This all sucks! Mental note, deal with Dumbledore. What was he thinking? Like this could be their future. No way.
"Miss!" Ducky had appeared with plates full of sandwiches, "Miss and Master must eat!"
"Um, thanks Ducky, just leave them on the table," Hermione smiled.
"Miss, are you okay Miss?" Ducky asked.
"Yes, I'm fine," Hermione replied. "Just working."
"Miss working a lot recently, usually Miss works in the afternoons for a few hours!"
"Yes, well looking for something important, just for a potion."
"Oh Miss is very cleaver, Miss will figure it out!"
"Thank you Ducky."
"You're most welcome Miss!" Ducky left the food on the table and left.
Hermione grabbed a few magical curses books and sat on one of the tables. She was very impressed with the library. It was so huge, so much bigger than the one at Hogwarts. She started reading through as many books as she could, she didn't realise Draco had entered and he was sitting opposite her with a few books. When she looked up she jumped, but quickly regained her composure and looked back at her book. Draco meanwhile had found something interesting:
Time Travelling Spells
This spell is complicated and can only be performed three times every seven years. Only one person in the seven years can perform the spell. However this spell cannot be performed by anyone, a powerful wizard or witch may perform the spell.
The spell can be performed for a task, and the time travellers cannot return until the mission has been completed. Once the mission has been completed, they will return.
Those who do not complete their missions will be stuck in the past or the future and this may affect their past or future selves.
Must seek the Ministry of Magic's permission before casting.
Draco sighed loudly before pushing the book over to Hermione. She looked down at the top of the page, she too sighed loudly.
"Great, you know what this means," Hermione muttered. "We don't know our mission so…"
"We're screwed," Draco replied bitterly.
A/N: Fanfic was so annoying, that's why this chapter is late and BSL will be updated tomorrow.
As for this fic, one or two have asked why is Voldy alive, and why did dumbly send them to the future…well Voldy is alive because you'll find out and Dumbly, well who knows why he does what he does lol!
