Ch. 4

In the long hallways of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry; Headmaster Dumbledore was walking three time travelers to their chambers, which would no normally do. The old man sighed, "I am sorry that Minerva was trying to get you girls to meet people your own age before you were ready, but she means well. I can understand that you two have been taken from your own time and being brought back in time is where easy, but I will be asking that this weekend that you three would journey with me to one of the Order houses to meet with some people, and maybe their teenage children as well?"

The Doctor looked at Hermione and Emma with questionable look upon his face; both of the girls looked at each other, and then faced him with a smile and a nod from each of them. The Doctor spoke for all three of them, "That would be a grand idea, Albus. What time would you like to expect us and what day?"

The Headmaster smiled, "I was thinking about ten o'clock in the morning on Saturday, and let's meet up in my office. Give the Gargoyle the password that you heard today to him and he will send you up."

Emma smiled, "That sounds grand, sir."

As the group of four walked on; Hermione found that they were nearing the library, she was wondering why would they nearing the library, when there were hardly any guest chambers or teacher's rooms near there. About a few hundred or so feet; they stopped at a painting of what looked like Sphinx, with a body of a lion and a head of a woman, different from those in Egypt. The Sphinx was walking around a cave like setting and with a waterfall behind her.

Albus spoke to the painted Sphinx, "Hello Clara; nice to see you once again."

"Hello Albus; what brings you here today?"

The elder wizard waved his hand to the three time travelers, "They will be staying in your chambers Clara; treat them well, and protect them well."

"I will," she looked over that the three who stood next to the Headmaster, "What password would you have for your door?"

The Doctor looked at the girls, "I'll let you two pick."

"Time Changes for the Better," answered both girls at once.

"Good show," stated Albus. "Well; I must leave you and see you all in the morning. Goodnight."

The three time travelers passed through the doorway to get into their chambers; once they had entered, the painting closed behind them. All three of them were standing in the middle of their common room/sitting room area; where a roaring fire was going in the marble carved out fireplace, the carvings were of Sphinxes. Over the mantel was a big mirror that had a gold looking frame around it. There was also a coffee table sat in front of the fireplace with a couch behind it, and two wingback chair on either side of the coffee table. All around the room was lined from floor to ceiling with built-in bookshelves that were made of rich looking cedar wood. A desk was placed behind the couch, where a person would sit and do paperwork with a nice Victorian looking chair that had sapphire blue seat with black trimmings.

There was only two doors leading from the sitting area; one to the right and another to the left from the door that had come through a few moments ago. The Doctor went right, while the girls went left. They had found their own rooms; the Doctor's room was made up in royalty looking colors, of purples and blacks. On the bed had the shield of Hogwarts on a blanket, with purple and black pillow covers, and curtains. He had his own fireplace as well; without any carving upon it, just plain white marble fireplace. "It's not the Tartus; but it will do, and I need to get my ship from the girls before bedtime."

In the girls' room; where Hermione and Emma were enjoying their room, there were two twin four-poster beds. Each bed had a different color scheme that seemed to blend with one another. On Hermione's bed it had greens and cream color scheme throughout the bed itself. Her bedspread was of a mint green with a cream boarder around the edges, with a cream colored lily in the middle, and purl white treading. The bed hangings were the color of turquoise green with scream fringe and tie backs. Emma's bed was much different than Hermione's; her bed was in Egyptian blue and sky blue blends, Emma's bed spread had the Egyptian blue with sky blue edgings. There was a sky blue rose in the middle with silver treading. The curtains around the bed were in the Egyptian blue with sky blue trimming and silver tie backs.

The rest of the bedroom was done a dusty rose color and a very light shade of a pink as well to bring up some kind of designs that were hidden within the walls. The floor had a cream colored carpet, to even out some of the mixed colors. The fireplace was made up of medium grey and had carvings of rune symbols of love, faith, and every lasting; which gave the girls hope, for the upcoming future. Upon the mantel was a painting of Hogwarts Castle, when it was freshly built back in the day; where both girls could not look away from it. Neither of the girls could tell any changes were done to it, from the Hogwarts of old to the one that they knew of; what they could see was that there were many added buildings, like the Herbology greenhouses and the groundskeeper hut. Other than those two things, there was not much difference from the painting and what they knew of that day an age.

The Doctor knocked upon their door before coming into the girls' bedroom. "Hermione; may I have the Tartus to be put into my room, if you please?"

She blushed, "Sorry Doctor; I forgot that I have it, I will get it done."

The two girls followed him into his bedroom; where Hermione had un-shrunk the Police Blue Box and put it in the corner of the room, where no one would trip or run into it. "Thank you again; oh, since your both here I might as well tell you what I would like to have done. Since it is not safe to leave the castle during the summer holidays; I will be sending for a catalog for the two of you to order your school things, clothes, and other stuff you may need. For the time being; you may transfigure your clothes to look like they were made here in the '70's. Plus; I don't want either of you to leave the grounds without a teacher. Understood?"

Emma and Hermione knew that since they were from another time and they had no idea where Voldemort could be, they gave the Doctor their word that they would not leave the castle, at least not without him. Emma asked, "Can the three of us go to the nearby village sometime before term starts?"

"I don't see why not," the Doctor spoke with excitement, "but I'm afraid that it would not be tomorrow, because of the things that I need to plan out for school year and send it in writing to the Headmaster. If I get it done before late afternoon; I don't see why we could not go, and I could also buy some of your things there."

"Even books," asked Hermione, who wore a great big smile upon her face.

The Time Lord smile back at Hermione, "Even books; jewelry, dresses, and whatever else that holds your fancy; does any of that sound like a plan?"

Emma was happy about hearing about escaping the castle for at least a little while. The two girls went back into their own room; where went to their own bags and dragged out their own sleep ware, which they took turns in the bathroom and changed their clothes. They then climbed into their own beds and closed their eyes and they were off to dream world.

Emma and Hermione were sharing the same dream that night. They were in Gryffindor Common Room; where they met with Lily Evans, Remus Lupin, James Potter, Sirius Black, and Peter Pettigrew. Remus and Lily were sharing a chair with each other; Lily on Remus's lap, while he had his arms around her. Peter was sitting on the floor in front of the fireplace; watching everyone as they were talking to one another, he had an evil look upon his face, he was not happy that people were not talking to him. James and Sirius were on each end of the couch with one of the future girls' upon their own laps. James had Hermione and Sirius had Emma; the guys were trying to get a kiss from the girls, but they kept making them work for it.

Sirius asked, "How can I prove to you Emma; when I mean that I won't be wondering off to look at other women, what would get you to believe me?"

She looked into his stormy grey eyes; with his longish black hair that framed his handsome face, it was hard to put a language together, with him looking at her. Her mouth moved on its own, "You're going to have to come up with something, because whatever I tell you, you would just not use your brain to think of something on your own." Emma could not believe herself, she sounded so cold to Sirius; and then again she would not blame herself for sounding like it, even in a dream.

Hermione smiled to Emma in her dream; she was happy that her sister was thinking smart and not allowing Sirius to do whatever he wanted; even to give him answers to life's problems. James was asking Hermione, "Hermione; you mean the world to me, I know I have chased Lily for the last four years. I woke up realizing that fate has other plans for me and that is with you, so would you go out with me?"

Hermione grinned at him, "I want to see what you can come up with to prove what you say it true."

Emma and Hermione were looking at themselves; they knew that they had never sounded or acted like this with other people, nor would they sit on guys' laps like they were doing within the dreams. Both girls had morals that their so called parents had drilled within their heads with, for no real guy who would stay with a girl like that. Then they saw the look of hurt and fear within the boys' eyes; that were within their dream. They also noticed that Remus and Lily were in a world of their own; almost witnessing a dream within a dream, like seeing a door wide open and seeing them dreaming what they would like happen. Then they glanced over at Peter and saw the hatred that he had for his friends; almost his body turning into fire, from his built up anger with them, for not noticing him in the first place.

Emma looked over to Hermione, "What will we do; once term starts and we are faced with all of them?"

Hermione quivered; as if she was cold, "I don't know Emma; I hope we will change the future for the better than what it would have been. I would also like to see Peter not like this; I mean he was angry with his friends having all the girls and being noticed all the time, but I didn't know that he would turn into almost like fire in heated anger before. This is bad."

Each girl had woken up to write down on a piece of paper and wrote down what all they had remembered about their dreams; to find where they could change things from not looking so grim within the dream, or see how things lead to the point in their lives to look similar to it.

Somewhere near Godric's Hollow; two teenage boys had woken up from the same dream as the girls, had woken up panting.

One boy who had just put his glasses upon his face, "What the bloody hell! Why were Moony and Lily together? And who was the fizzy brown hair and eyed girl?"

The other boys said, "I don't know Prongs; but I don't know about the girl with big hips and broad shoulders sitting upon my lip, I mean I like them blond and thin?"

"I don't know Padfoot; but she looked like a good girl for you to have though?"

"Prongs; maybe your girl and my girl are sisters or something, then maybe we could be brothers at long last?"

It has been a running joke with Sirius Black and James Potter that if things did not work out with James and Lily Evans; than they would like for sisters and become brothers that way, it was something that they had come up with one night.

"I don't know Sirius, but maybe since we had the same dream; maybe it's time to just give up on Lily and find someone else?"

"Maybe it is James."

With that being said; both boys went back to sleep, to see if they can find the two girls once again.
