Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter
Things you might need to know: Mainly this is about chapter lengths, I don't try for a work count, if a chapter ends, I'll end it. It has nothing to do with wanting to get an update up. I'm sorry that it isn't longer like I promised.
Well, I know I said this was going to be a longer chapter, but it ended up being a more of a filler chapter as well. Like I said, I need to get to where I'm going. For the ones that are waiting for Harry to take more of a roll in this, well that is coming up. Because Harry as a brilliant idea on how to stop the whole thing from happening, the scary thing is, he wants it done before the next term starts. Would anyone like to try to guess what Harry wants to do?
Chapter Four:
Draco found out that turning back to thirteen had drawbacks. He hadn't counted on his father yelling because he had disappeared from Diagon Alley, they had spent two hours looking for him. He also didn't count on being grounded to his room for the remainder of the day as well. Draco was not happy being thirteen all over again.
Draco had paced about his room well over an hour before he decided that it could had been worst, his father could had kept him in his room well over a week or even longer. He decided the only thing to do was made the best of it.
Taking out a sheet of parchment, he started a list of Professors that had enough power or means to mess with a timeline, and who would gain by doing so. The only problem he could think of was that the professors might not be the same. So, that left him with the ones that he did know.
Draco thought about the Head of Houses, Severus had been the only one that had seemed to hold anything against Potter, but he wouldn't do it, not to a Malfoy. The rest of the heads he couldn't see doing it either. With Dumbledore out of the way, that left only the rest. Draco didn't see a long list coming, the DADA professors changed yearly, or had in his time.
He stared at the empty parchment, could he be looking at this all wrong? After all he was looking at it from his time, this time would be different. Harry was long longer the golden boy, but he was in Slytherin. Some of the Professors including Severus may feel different about him now. Harry was no longer special or was he?
Someone had taken Hayden back in time, they had took Harry and Pansy both. Why would they let Pansy live and not Harry? What if they had let Harry live as well? That was possible, as well, he didn't remember any children that had died during that time. Draco needed to find out what children were alive during his time and which one of those was missing now. Sounded strange even to him, but still had possibilities.
"What do we know?" Draco muttered to an empty room. "Nothing much," he answered himself. In the back of his head the Parkinson's came to mind. They had took Pansy in and raised her as their own. They would have to know were she had came from, so that would mean they had been in on it. If he were right, if Harry also had been given to someone else, that would be another family. Which meant they were looking for more than one person. It wasn't the work of a Professor, but most likely, one had been in own it as well.
Draco had just added the name Parkinson when an owl came crashing into the room with a loud hoot! It amused him to watch the small owl hold out its small leg to give him the letter. He took it carefully from owl and started to give it a treat when it flew off.
He stared at the parchment; he had no idea who the crazy little owl belonged to. unrolling the parchment he saw right off who had sent the letter.
Draco,
I know it must seem strange getting a note from me, but Pansy told us last night about the mix up. I'll admit that I didn't believe her at first, I mean she is the joker of the family. However, after much thought and a long talk with Hermione, I believe her now. I think that it also has to do with some odd dreams that I myself have been having. Pans said that I had been the boy-who-lived, strangely that seems to go with the dreams that I had been having. I would rather meet face to face with you if at all possible. We may not be able to trust the owls, not if someone is after Hayden and myself. Please burn this note and meet me tomorrow for morning. The Leaky Cauldron at ten sharp.
HJP
Draco re-read the note before burning it. As bad as he had to admit it, Harry would be the one that would stand by his side. That just felt wrong, so, so very wrong. The dreams did caught his attention, could the once golden boy know more than what he had been telling? Would it even be possible that the Harry really was still the golden boy? He still had Ron and Hermione by his side that hadn't changed.
What could Harry Potter have to tell him? Tomorrow really seemed like along time to wait.
