Chapter Four: Time Travel
Rose sat in her 2nd period that day, taking all of her notes promptly. Scorpious was looking at her amazing, chewing his pencil lightly. The new Professor, Professor Muvlelich, noticed Scorpious looking at me. "Malfoy." She said sternly. He turned around and straightened his back up. Rose looked up to see what was wrong with Scorpious. "I should suggest that you stop looking Ms. Weasley, and get back to our lesson." The kids in the room made "Ooh's" and "Ohhhs" and "I knew it!"
Scorpious blushed, he was terrified. Now Rose knew that he liked her. She had to have known. He glared at Professor Muvlelich when she was writing on the chalkboard. He glanced at the clock, 1:59pm. He sighed in relief, class was almost over, and he can make his move on Rose. He knew it was wrong loving her, but it didn't feel wrong. She wasn't a mud blood, no mud blood in her. Well, so he thought. The big hand on the clock hit the 2, and everyone was out of there. Scorpious was the first to get out though. He knew that Rose stayed after class to clean up.
Rose's cleaning up session lasted for about twenty minutes, until she finally came out. Scorpious's face lit up when she came out. "Why, hello Scor!" She said smiling at him. His heart melted, he had fallen hard for her and he knew it. "Hello, Rose." There eyes locked for a few seconds, but it seemed like forever. "I was wondering if you wanted to go watch a Quidditch game with me tomorrow." Rose smiled and wanted to bite her nails so badly, but she just couldn't. "I would love too!" She said beaming with light.
Scorpious looked at her smiling, with him now beaming. "Really?" Rose crossed her arms and gave out a nod meaning 'Yes'. Rose was blushing now, and she knew it too. She looked so weird when she blushed. Her freckles showed more, it was so unattractive. But Scorpious thought it was absolutely adorable. "Write me later, okay?" She said giving him address of the burrow on the weekends, and he knew where her room was. He smiled in delight, "I would love too." He said taking the address, smiling. They both said goodbye, and headed back to their rooms.
All of the sudden, Rose felt homesick. She wanted to go back home. She missed her Mum and Dad, she wished she never loved Scorpious, but she did. She sighed, getting a piece of paper out.
Dear Mum,
Scorpious invited me to go watch a Quidditch game with him. I said yes, and I'm absolutely thrilled to be in his company. But, I know it's the wrong thing to do. Dad will never accept him, and his father will never accept me. I wish I didn't fancy him, but sadly I do. I came to write you because I need to know some things. You never told me how you and Dad fell in love. I want to know so badly now, and I want to know everything there is about the bad things in dark magic so I won't get involved with them. Please Mum, I would love if you just explained these things to me. Tell Dad I love him with all my heart, and to STILL give Uncle Harry his twenty muggle dollars!
I love you mum. I've been homesick, I want to come home so badly.
With all my love,
Your Rosie.
Rose gave it to the owl, and it sent away. She curled up in her bed, wanting to sleep, but she just couldn't. She laid there thinking of everything. Albus, Hugo, Lilly, James, Uncle George, Uncle Fred, Mum, Dad…then she started to cry. She looked up to the sky and said, "Dear God, please make me go home." After several hours of tossing and turning she heard pecks at the window. Rose smiled, and opened the window. She took the letter, and opened it up.
Dear Rosie,
I am so happy to hear that he invited you! You will have a wonderful time, I'm sure of it! And do not worry about who will accept you, and even him. Just have fun right now. Your young, and I want you to have fun like I did. And yes, I haven't exactly told you about me and your father have I? Well, I gave you a spell, it's a memory spell. You can go back in time and watch everything. When we were in Hogwarts, all the way up until…the war. Rosie, you need to know something. There are people called Death Eaters. People who are against Mud bloods. They had a war over it, and your father, me, and Uncle Harry were in it. I was tortured by Bellatrix because I was a mud blood. But all of the memories are in that spell. You will go back in time to the very beginning. And see how bad some of the dark magic was. And do not worry, love. You will be home soon.
With tons of me and your father's love,
Mum.
Rosie picked up the other piece of paper inside the envelope. She read the riddle, and was fascinated by her Mother's trick. She picked up her wand and stood up, "I want to go back in time, to Ron and Hermione's love, rewind." Then she finished the riddle with, "Deprimo! Descendo!" She felt cold, hard wind blow against her entire body. She shut her eyes tightly, and then the wind stopped. She opened her eyes, and found herself in a class room. This was Professor Muvelich's room, but a different teacher took her place.
It looked as if no one had saw her. She looked around the room, and gasped at what she saw. Her father, Ron Weasley, who looked about the age of eleven. Then beside him, there was her mother, Hermione. Her hair was frizzed out, she was absolutely beautiful. And beside her, was Uncle Harry. He looked just like Albus, it was almost a perfect match. "Today we are going to learn about your biggest fears." The professor said. Rose stood beside her uncle and parents, and listened to the lesson. "Spiders for sure." Ron whispered to Hermione.
Hermione rolled her eyes and still listened to the lesson. "I need someone to deminstraight for the class." The professor said, looking around. "Ah, Miss Granger, would you be kind enough too come up to the class?" Hermione smiled and walked up. "Mental that one." Ron whispered to Harry. "I swear, when she grows up she's going to marry some kind of muggle." That made Rose laugh a little. It was amazing seeing her parents as children. How they were, and she was just like them. The professor held out her wand, and whispered a spell. No one could here it but Hermione.
Then, a huge tiger appeared. Hermione screamed, and Rose cupped her hands over her mouth. The tiger lurched towards Hermione. Ron stood up, "Hermione!" He looked at the professor, "Do something!" She whispered another spell while pointing her wand at the tiger. Then, the tiger disappeared. Hermione ran back to her seat, and grabbed Ron's wrist. "Are you alright?" He whispered to her. She nodded and kept her hand on his wrist. Rose smiled, looking at her young parents. Then, she felt the huge wind again. She closed her eyes, and once more opened them when it stopped.
She was outside this time, on the Quidditch field. They looked a little older, about a year or so. She gasped when she saw Draco Malfoy in front of her parents. She ran up to them, to hear the conversation. Draco stepped in front of Harry and pushed him. "Scared that we'll beat you, Potter?" Draco hissed. Harry fell to the ground, and Rose could see the anger in Hermione's eyes. Hermione stepped up, "Leave him alone." She said. Draco smirked. "Stay out of it, Granger." He said. Rose looked at her father, he was standing right beside of Hermione.
His eyes were filled with pain, he kept his eyes on her and then at Draco. Then Draco opened his mouth again, "You filthy mud blood." Ron's face flooded with anger, and Rose saw a tear fall down from her mother's eye. Ron pulled out his wand, "You'll pay for that on, Malfoy!" He hissed at the blonde headed demon. "Puke slugs!" Then, wand did the spell to Draco, but backfired on him. The force flew him across the field. Harry and Hermione ran after him. "Ron!" Hermione screamed.
Rose ran with them, and still watched. Ron was fine, but he was throwing up slugs. Hermione knelt down beside him and petted his hair as his threw up the slugs. But she watched disgusted. "Get Hagrid." She insisted Harry. And once more Rose felt the strong wind. And when she opened her eyes this time, she was in the snow. And surprisingly, she wasn't cold at all. Her parents were alone this time. They looked about Hugo's age. They were staring at the Malfoy mansion.
"Do you want to move closer?" Hermione said looking at Ron. Ron's ears turned pink and perked up. "Huh?" He said looking at Hermione blushing. Hermione rolled her eyes at him, "Do you want to move closer to the castle?" Ron relaxed a little, his ears turned normal again. "Oh, No, Hermione. I'm fine here. You?" Ron said playing with his fingers. Hermione was playing with her fingers too. "Oh, I'm just fine." She said smiling a little.
Hermione's smile faded, then realized something. What if the Malfoy family were home? What if Harry has gotten caught? "Ron!" Hermione said in panic. Ron turned to her quickly. "What is it?" Hermione digged in her bag until she found her wand. "Ron, Harry might be in grave danger, what if the Malfoys are home." She said with her hands shaking a little. Ron grabbed both of her arms to let them stop shaking. Then, he let go. "Your not going to get him are you?" He said blushing a little.
Rose watched her parents getting ready to get in an argument. So she sat down against the tree and watched her parents. Hermione sighed at Ron, "I was thinking about it, Ron, what if he needs us!" She said in her shaky voice. Ron sighed also, "Well, your not going alone." He scratched the back of his head awkwardly.
Hermione crossed her arms, "And why do you care?" Ron's ears turned pink again, and they perked up. Rose giggled at that, he still did that. Ron was stuttering, "Well, um..er…uh…Yo-You just need back up…that's all." Hermione smirked, and grabbed Ron's wrist. Let's just go, and help Harry. Rose felt the wind again, but with more force. She opened her eyes to find herself at the Yule ball. She looked around for her dad, and finally found him. His hair was longer this time, he looked about fifteen.
She stood beside him, but she noticed he had a teary look in his eyes. She looked to at what he was looking at, and sighed. It was her mother and Victor Krum dancing happily together. Harry was beside of Ron, and looked at Ron sadly. Hermione left Victor, and said she would be right back. She began to walk up behind Ron and Harry, but then the words out of Ron's mouth stabbed her in the heart. Ron sighed, "Bloody slut, Granger is, It's just sad that she's playing with the enemy." Rose gasped when she heard this.
Rose knew it was Ron's jealousy, and he did have a temper. But she had never seen him this jealous. She looked at her mother, who's eyes flooded with tears. "Slut?" She screamed behind them crying. The whole room went silent, and everyone stared. Ron and Harry turned around quickly. Ron's eyes widened, "No Hermione! I was just jealous…I.." Ron said, but he couldn't finish. Ron never saw Hermione cry this much. Hermione slapped him on the arm, "PLAYING WITH THE ENEMY?"
Harry looked down, and a tear rolled down Ron's eye. "Hermione…" He began again. But couldn't even finish it. "IF YOU WOULD'VE HAD THE GUTS TO ASK ME TO THE DANCE, I WOULD HAVE WENT, RONALD!" She screamed again. And then Hermione ran up the stairs crying. Ron followed her also calling out her name, "Hermione!" He followed her all the way up to her room. He opened the door, and stared at her crying on her bed.
He sat beside her on the bed. "Oi, I really messed up this time." Ron said to Hermione touching her arm gently. Rose smiled at him trying to comfort her. Hermione stood up and stared at Ron. "Why didn't you just ask me…I was waiting for you too." She said wiping another tear. Ron stood up facing her, and smiled a little. "Mione, I'm sorry. I was just so jealous…I didn't mean anything that I said." He said wiping a tear off of her with his thumb.
Hermione slowly moved closer to Ron, and laid her face down on his chest. Ron wrapped his arms around her, and whispered in her ear. "Hermione, you are the most beautiful, smart, and intelligent girl I know." Hermione smiled, "Thank you." She said. Rose was disappointed to feel to strong force of wind again. She opened her eyes, she was in the forest. She stepped back a little when she saw a giant. Ron, Hermione, and Harry were facing it.
Then all the sudden, the giant picked up Hermione. Hermione screamed in fear. And Ron started to panic. "Hermione!" He yelled. "Put her down!" He yelled again, picking up a large stick and smashing the giant. The giant yelped and dropped Hermione. Hermione screamed, but Ron caught her perfectly. Her face was buried in his neck with fear. The giant began to ran away, and Ron sighed in relief. "It's all okay now." He said to Hermione putting her down.
Now, the wind was ten times more stronger. And Rose found herself seeing her father in a hospital bed, with Hermione sitting beside him. Harry was standing beside her. Then, they all heard running footsteps coming up. "Won Won!" Lavender yelled. "Is my Won Won alright?" Hermione rolled her eyes, and so did Rose. Professor Dumbledore nodded, "He should be fine." Lavender smiled in relief, and then looked at Hermione. "What are you doing here?" She asked glaring at Rose's mother. Hermione perked up and glared back, and she stood up. "I should be asking you the same question!" Lavender stepped towards her closer. "I happen to be his girl friend!"
Hermione stepped closer, glaring even more. "Well I happen to be his…friend." Lavender smirked, and then everyone heard Ron mumbling something. Lavender smiled, "He's calling for me! He feels my presence!" Hermione wanted to run away and cry, but then she heard the glorious words. "Her-mion-e." Ron mumbled in his sleep. Hermione smiled and looked at him. Ron mumbled again, "Her-mion-e." Hermione sat down again and held his hand tightly. "I'm here." She said smiling at him. "And I'll never leave you."
Ron twisted his head a little. "I..wa-nt…y-ou…" He said still half asleep. Hermione took her free hand and stroked his red hair. Hermione felt like crying her eyes out. Ron loved her, and he always had. "You have me, Ron." She said still stroking his hair. Ron still moved his head, as if he was having a dream. "Do-n't…eve-r lea-ve…me." He mumbled. That's when Hermione started to cry. "I'll never leave you, Ron, I'll always be with you." And with her courage, she kissed his forehead. And then he fell asleep.
Rose closed her eyes, and opened them. It must have been the next day. Ron, Hermione, and Harry were all sitting at lunch together. Hermione looked sad, "And you don't remember anything?" She said. Ron smiled at her a little. "Not a thing, who knows what I said with all the drugs they put me on." He said smirking. Rose felt the wind again, and closed her eyes. Much harder than it was before. When she opened them, she was in a cellar. Harry and Ron were there also. Hermione was screaming above them.
Screaming so hard, as if she was dieing. Ron started to cry, "HERMIONE!" He screamed with all his might. He ran to the door and shook the bars. "DAMN IT! OPEN THE DOOR!" Ron ran back to Harry, and Ron grabbed his collar. "Damn it, do something!" He yelled. Harry shook his head crying also, "We can't do anything, Ron! Hermione doesn't have a chance…" Ron kicked the wall and other objects in the cellar. "HERMIONE! BABY, PLEASE BE STRONG! BE STRONG, HERMIONE! I KNOW YOU CAN!"
Rose started to cry, watching the scene happening. Then, Dobby tapped Ron on the knee. "Dobby has key." He said handing the key to Ron. Ron smiled and took the key. "Thanks Dobby, come on Harry!" Ron unlocked the door, and Harry and him ran up the stairs and hid behind a plant. Watching Hermione and the evil Bellatrix. Hermione was tied to the wall, with her sleeves cut off. And 'Mud Blood' carved in her skin on her arm.
Bellatrix called a man over to her side. She breathed heavily, "Do what you want to her." She said smiling licking her lips. The man walked in front of her. Ron was still crying. "Bellatrix," His deep voice said. "Remove her clothes." Ron and Harry looked down and cried their eyes out silently. But not as much as Ron did. He looked up, and Hermione only had her bra and underwear on.
The man smiled, "You're a pretty thing, aren't you?" Ron gripped his wand, wanting to attack him. "Let the game begin." He said taking off his jacket. Ron's face builded up with anger, "Over my dead body." And with that, he jumped out, and pointed his wand to the man and Bellatrix. "Let her go, or you both suffer." Bellatrix held her hands up, and untied Hermione. She held her against her, pulling out a knife to her neck. Hermione started to cry harder. "Drop the wand, or your little girlfriends dead."
Ron looked at Hermione with soft eyes. And dropped the wand. "Curcindo!" Dobby said pointing his wand at Bellatrix and the man. And they suffered painfully. Bellatrix let go of Hermione, and she ran into Ron's arms crying. "Get your clothes!" He said to her. She grabbed them, and they ran out of the mansion. Outside Hermione easily slipped on her clothes and began to run with Ron and Harry.
When they were far enough, Harry gave Ron and Hermione some alone time. "Does you arm hurt?" Ron said touching it gently. Hermione jumped at the pain, "Yes, it does really badly." Ron hugged her, "I'm so glad your alright." He said burying his face in her neck. Hermione wanted to kiss him, she wanted to give herself to him. Then, she took the biggest risk of her life. She softly kissed his neck. "I'm right here, Ron."
Ron lifted his head up. And stroked Hermione's cheek with his palm. "I love you." He said. "With all my heart. I never want to lose you. You're my everything…" Hermione smiled and put her arms around his neck. "I love you too. I can't even explain how much. Your…the one for me, Ron." Ron smiled, and they both kissed passionately. It was a deep loving kiss. And Rose smiled while watching them. But they faded away, and before she knew it, she was back in her room. Standing in front of her mother's letter.
