[A/N: Woign to you all (don't ask), I'm back and this chapter will be bettre, thanks to some awesome cristsim(UGH, I can never spell that word, :I ) i got. For the first time ever, I'm putting up my A/N BEFORE I type the actual story. I found out that my iPhone lets me log into this site and I can type on that whenever I'm on the road. So updates will be that much sooner! anyhoo, i'm in one of my best moods ever. I finally figured out how to properly explain the whole RoR thing. The whole thing is messed up and I've decided to say it takes a genius to get it (a.k.a. not me) Due to the fact that I stupidly keep forgetting to put in that copyright stuff, nothing but this plot and any OC's belong to me and everything else goes to J. (how I envy her) Done. Simple, easy, effective. Enjoy!]

Chapter 4

It didn't take long for them to reach Gryyffindor Tower. The Fat Lady was still the password keeper. The older wizard said something that the other four could not hear adn the frame swung open, reveling the entrywayt to the Gryffindor common room. Home, Hermione thought sadly, as she dragged her trunk and bag in after her, My only home.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DO YOU MEAN, 'THEY'RE GONE'?" Ron yelled as he angrily stood up in the headmasters office. "They've gone to 's time, . Perhaps you would like a lemon drop to calm you," the eerily calm professor said, holding out the bowl. Ron just stared with an expression that said, 'hell no.' "How about after you tell me why you sent them to-to HIM," Ron spat.

"I did not sned them," Dumbledore said with a small smile, "I merely asked them and they agreed." Ron made some sort of a sound that was inbetween a snort and psh, "Why did you ask them, and how did they get there?"

Dumbledore sighed. He knew Ron would take this the hardest, but felt as though he should tell him the full details.

"Well, , perhaps you would like to sit before I begin," he said, tiredness creeping into his voice for the first time in front of Ron. The younger wizard sat and Dumbledore began his tale.

"When the war with Grindelwald was finally at it's peak, I knew that it was far to late to prevent ay more deaths. So I came up with a plan, that I would send 4 students back in time to help defeat him. Of course, the war had finally ended and I put my plans aside, but still keeping them should the need ever arise. I sent Harry, Hermione, Ginny, and Draco to the time when I still thought th eplan would take place, meaning my having have defeated Grindelwald not happening yet. I sen them to the year of Tom Riddle's seventh year." Ron stiffened, "You still haven't said how they got there."

"I gave them a specific date and told them to enter the Room of Requirement thinking that date. I shot the killing curse at the door to the room to force it to try and preserve itself. Since the students were thinking of a date in which the room would then be able to survive, it would follow that wish. Of course, this was all theoretical, but I'm sure it worked." Ron stared, "So you just sent them without knowing?" Dumbledore nodded, "yes, that is correct."

"you must be madder than I thought," Ron muttered.

The headmasters eyes twinkled.

""We're home," Harry said, setting his trunk down when Dumbledore left them, after telling them not to unpack.

"Yeah," Draco muttered, "Home sweet home."

"It didn't change much, did it?" Ginny said, looking around.

"No," Hermione said, sitting in one of the comfy armchairs by the fireplace, and lighting a fire, "it hasn't." She looked into the fire few a long moments and the four sat in silence for a while. Finally, Hermione spoke up, "Any ideas on how to show Riddle how to love?"

"Seduce him," Ginny said, struggling to not laugh. Harry and Draco openly laughed. Hermione's eyebrows rose, "And who'll be doing that?"

"Draco, of course," Ginny sad, in a-matter-of-fact way. Harry and Hermione roared with laughter. "I don't find that funny anymore," Draco said, the smile wiped off his face. Now all of them were laughing, not including Draco. "Ha ha," He muttered.

"We all know you're quite capable, Malfoy," Ginny said, almost successful in keeping a straight face while saying so.

"Another thing guys," Harry said, one the laughter died down to just a chuckle, "I don't think we can call each other by our last names anymore, since we changed them."

"Agreed,"Hermione said, still smiling from the joke, "well then, Draco-wow, that is so weird-how are you faring today?"

"Don't mock me, Hermione," he replied, scowling

"Never!" Hermione said, faking a shocked expression, "Why in the world would you ever think that?" And once again, they were all laughing, Draco included this time.

"Oi, Tom!"

Tom heard yell as he was lying on his bed, wondering when the car that will take him to the train station will arrive so he could finally escape back to Hogwarts. He decided to ignore her.

" Tom, You ready yet?" she yelled again from the bottem of the stairs. And again, he ignored her.

"TOM! The car's here!" Immediately, he sat up and nearly raced down with his trunk. He got into the back as got into the passenger seat. After three long months, he would finally go to the one place he could call home.
