Summary: Time Travel. Hermione and Ginny travel to Tom Riddle's Era and then to the Marauder's Era. They were determined, but when they found themselves with MWPP, they ran into some very unexpected people. Also from their time. However, they were on the opposite sides. What happens when two young girls and two young death eaters from the future are in a same era, both sharing the same secret? Why, chaos ensues of course. Pairings: DM/HG BZ/GW
Well, I still don't know if I should continue this… MORE FEEDBACK PLEASE… READ AND REVIEW.
So Chaos Ensues
Last Time: Ginny held her hand out and for a while Slughorn just stared. Then just as Hermione predicted, he laughed loudly.
"My dears, you are truly gutsy! Wonderful, just absolutely fantastic!" Slughorn beamed.
"A bezoar, I didn't even think of that! This is truly thoughtful insight! Showing such an understanding of the concept, that is the individual spirit a real potion-maker needs! Why I can't possibly fault you… A bezoar would certainly act as an antidote to all these potions!" A bellowing laugh was inserted here, and Slughorn continued to praise and gush over them.
"This is work that can earn you a solid O! My, you two young ladies certainly are gifted in the art of potions!"
Slughorn definitely seemed happy at the fact that he know how other 'potion gifted' students other than just Malfoy and Riddle. He was probably thrililed at the fact that he now had Hermione and Ginny to brag about, especially since they were girls, Ginny noted.
She remembered her mum once telling her that there weren't many magically gifted in this era, or more like, the females were expected to be perfect trophy wives, who were obedient and had no voice.
Sighing, Ginny turned her attention to focus on the class as a new chorus of gasps were heard. And it was now Hermione and Ginny's turn to appear smug, and they decided to milk it for all it was worth. They both made sure to send triumphant and victorious smirks towards Malfoy and Riddle.
The two Slytherins in question were now looking at them in a sourly fashion and in slight disbelief. The girls had bested them without even trying! And of course, they were probably used to always being top of the class, potions were supposed to be their forte, Hermione guessed, hah! Take that Voldy!
The class had put the girls in a relaxing mood that neither had felt in such a long time. They were being naïve and childish, perhaps even immature, but it was good to lose themselves for a while. As the class ended, however, they realized they had DADA, this brought their joyful, if only barely, spirits plummeting down.
Do we play it safe?
Jerking her head in slight surprise, Ginny looked around discretely as she heard Hermione's voice in her head, catching Hermione's eye, she gave the older girl a questioning look. Almost as shock as she was, Hermione scrunched her brows together in thought, immediately knowing what Ginny was confused about.
Can you hear this? Think yes or no.
Ginny gasped in the slightest and her mouth fell open, before quickly shutting and adorned an expression of utmost concentration.
Yes yes yes!
Hermione's eyes lit up, and she looked very much excited.
How did we do it? It's what Harry and Ron does! But they trained to do it… we've been trying for so long, what changed?
Ginny frowned slightly in disappointment before leaning in and whispering to Hermione,
"It was really blurry that last one, and I don't think you heard my last bit at all… why do you think we can't control it? Now that I think of it, there were times in battle, that I heard a thought or two in your voice, but it was too chaotic so I didn't think anything of it…" Ginny said in a very quiet and soft voice, constantly glancing around slightly, for fear of being overheard.
It was really unnecessary, as the normal person would have to strain their ears to hear her even if they were right next to her, but being in the same proximity as the mini Dark Lord, they could never be too careful… who knew what extremes he might go to for some information, especially after their performance in potions.
Hermione paused and thought a bit before, murmuring softly to Ginny,
"I think if you were concentrating very hard on one thought, and telling the person… it works, I was very curious in getting your answer about DADA, and then focusing hard on asking you if you could hear, while you were extremely enthusiastic in answering yes… we'll have to work on it, but now, talk later in the," Hermione stopped hear to mouth "Room of Requirement" to Ginny.
Straightening up and lifting their heads, Hermione and Ginny then walked briskly to the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom, they really needed to be more cautious, the little stunt they pulled in potions, all to show up Riddle, would have the school talking, they were trying to blend in and become unnoticed so they could have an unnoticed departure as well.
It was only day one and they had slipped and made a mistake already, a very vital one at that, first impressions were everything, character changes and personality differences within the span of the next few days would not raise eyebrows for those who had yet to meet them, but Riddle, oh Riddle was a lot different, he was far more observant and analytical, as was Malfoy for that matter.
They couldn't afford anymore mistakes, they had thought they got one step ahead with their arrival and such, but this had just put them two steps behind. For now, they would speak when necessary and appear curt for those like Septimus, they needed to be a bit distant from Augusta as well, they were here for a mission, and they should focus on that.
Influence. Such a simple word, but it could alter the future too much, they couldn't afford to befriend anyone else, they made a mistake they hadn't noticed, Augusta. It could result in Neville never being born, or worse. Riddle, that was the primary target, and it would now stay that way. Malfoy too, she could care less if he never gave birth to the Death Eaters that were to follow, for all they know, they were making the world a better place.
It was surprising how similar two people's thought processes could be. But for Hermione and Ginny, it was hardly a surprise, they could sense each other and just about feel what the other person was thinking, and usually, they thought much the same. The mood surrounding them was almost always exact and in sync.
They kept their faces impassive, with a bit of arrogance and a grin waiting to come out, and walked with authority and determination into the classroom. They were relieved to see that half the class was not there yet, this gave them to choose a spot in the back of the classroom, where they could observe the students, especially Riddle, and see his potential at this age.
It wasn't long before the class was settled, they were all obviously excited for something, seeming extremely restless.
"QUIET!" A feminine voice called out, although it was not harsh, the effect was immediate as all the students pivoted in their seats to face a woman who looked to be in her fifties. She was a favorite, that much they could tell.
"Now," the professor began in a calm, yet kind, with an edge of cheerfulness in her voice, "how are you? All ready to start the term, I hope?"
"Yes Professor Merrythought," the class chorused back, this was a routine then… but they all seemed to look forward to the lesson. Ginny turned to raise an eyebrow at Hermione, she noticed it too.
"Ah!" She exclaimed just as merrily, "I see we're all excited for this lesson!"
Clapping her hands together, she continued bubbly, "Good, good. As you know, in the 7th year of D.A.D.A., I like to start off the year with a little dueling tournament—"
Pausing, she waited for the cheers to die down, "As I said, I start with a tournament, for two reasons, one: I can see your capabilities in action, how well you know your spells and if you know how to apply and use them properly; two: it is always a fun thing for you guys as well, it should be a good break, as this class will be mostly practical to prepare you for the real world."
Once again, the class cheered, this time Professor Merrythought allowed them to with a beam on her face, she always liked the enthusiasm.
Finally, after a few moments, she called out, "Alright class, settle down! Today, we'll be working in groups of four, to warm up and practice before the actual tournament. When I allow you to begin, pair up, and find another pair. One person from each pair shall practice dueling each other. Your partner is to watch and give critic and suggestions to the person dueling in the OTHER pair. Now, no major spells, keep it minor, this is practice."
Clapping her hand together cheerfully, she said, "Well, go on, just remember, nothing extreme though!"
Glancing at each other, Ginny and Hermione were of course a pair, and the brief look they shared showed they both understood what was coming. They knew that Malfoy and Riddle would seek them out immediately to try to get back at them for this morning, and they were right because when they looked up, there they were, smirking, probably thinking this would be easy…
Scoffing out loud and rolling her eyes, Hermione thought what with the Death Eater training they must have. However, the two Slytherins misinterpreted and looked even more smug and smirked wider. Hermione nonverbally cast muffliato and leaned in to Ginny.
She did not want them to know that she had cast the spell, so best make it sound like she was whispering.
"Let's keep it simple," Hermione said, but Ginny seemed to have the same idea as she said,
"We can't let them know our full abilities." Nodding, Hermione looked troubled.
"We have to keep that in our advantage, I say we play defense, keeping up a round of protegos, nothing too advanced…"
Ginny contemplated for a moment before giving a brief nod and adding, "We have to have them let their guards down, we can surprise them in the actual tournament."
Agreeing, Hermione asked, "So, who are we dueling?"
Ginny frowned and sighed, "I won't be able to restrain myself Mi…"
Hermione knew exactly what she meant at once, "Don't worry, Gin, I'll duel Riddle, just remember, defense, Malfoy provokes more than Riddle does, don't act out of temper."
Ginny mumbled under her breath, taking the spell off and continued to pretend to whisper nonsense so it wouldn't seem too much of a coincidence. She made a show of scoffing, rolling her eyes, and pointedly looking at them, while Hermione put on an annoyed expression.
Finishing up, they turned to face the future… and present, dark wizards.
Malfoy was looking bored and at seeing the girls ready, he smirked, eager, and said, "Well, lets duel then, I shall go first with..Mia."
Hermione felt smug at his hesitance in saying her name, she played the full of attitude card again and snapped, "Who gave YOU a right to say my name? Or talk to me at all for that matter? Besides, you'll be dueling Jen."
"Ooh, feisty Gagner," he taunted saucily, "no problem, I can take on red here just as easily… cowardice, can't blame you, you ARE a girl."
Ginny gripped her wand tighter, and Hermione rushed to tug her arm a bit, to remind her… She saw the younger girl inhale and exhale, then raise her wand as she watched Malfoy do the same.
She impatiently said, "Alright, 1…2—"
"Expellia—"
"Protego!" The little cheater, slimy BASTARD, only a Slytherin would. But no loss, Ginny was just as fast, if not faster... She saw where this was going, and was sure Hermione did too as she noted the frown from the corner of her eye.
Of course! They had underestimated them... It was no doubt that they would try to test them, to see how exactly what level they were. They had slipped, AGAIN! They hadn't even considered this, too many mistakes… this was not good, they gave too little credit to Riddle. She noted this as she saw him look taken aback, if only a little by Ginny's quick reactions.
So badly did Hermione want to use Legilimens, but she could not risk it. Occlumency was one thing, but to use Legilimency on the Dark Lord… that would give too much about themselves away. Instead she clenched her fist and opted to watch the duel instead. True to her word, Ginny played defense and fired a series of protego's.
There were so many open slots for her to fire a spell back, but she slowed to make it seem more persuading, it wouldn't look usual, if she was able to block his attack before he finished saying it, and he was firing spells quite quickly too. She slowed down gradually as if she were getting tired.
Finally, after Ginny decided it was enough, she shifted weight in the split second that she was waiting for Malfoy to fire his next spell. He was getting quite impatient and the thought made her smirk ever so slightly.
"Tarantallegr—"
"Protego!" Then to Malfoy's surprise, and probably Riddle's too, she fired another spell just as quick.
"Expelliarmus! Accio Wand!" Ginny couldn't help but add that last part as Malfoy's wand came flying into her hand... Then, she dropped it to the floor, a foot or so from her feet, making it so that Malfoy would have to come and GET his wand.
Then, she looked him right in the eyes, smirked, and said, "You lose."
