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 finally updated and am looking forward to REVIEWS.. (P.S. thats a hint that you should REVIEW lol)
So Chaos Ensues
Last Time: Ginny froze as she seemed to realize the same lines as Hermione. This complicated things by far more than they expected. How much did Riddle already know? And more importantly, what were they going to do now?
Hermione sighed and forced a grim smile onto her face, she was the older one here-- as much as Ginny hated it, she had responsibility over the younger girl, in an older sisterly sort of way. They had approximately less than 13 days and they were already slipping up. She knew they couldn't afford to spare much time in the 40's, but if it came down to it, they would have to.
Making up her mind, Hermione spoke softly, "Gin?"
The redhead immediately turned her head attentively, sending Hermione a questioning look. Inhaling, Hermione silently analyzed mentally how she could explain her thoughts to Ginny before deciding and setting her eyes on the younger girl.
"An..oblivate would be.. out of the question," she started and Ginny seemed to understand right away. "But.. we can play it up I suppose and lead them down another path."
Putting a hand on her forehead, Ginny sighed and whispered hesitantly, "What if we... we make it..."
There was a pause before she breathed out one word, "worse?" Closing her eyes, Ginny tried to rid herself of the thoughts that were threatening to taunt her. She knew that Hermione had thought about it as well, but she had no intention of worrying her anymore than she already was.
"We won't know if we don't try," Hermione answered in a motherly tone a few moments later. "Just remember that we carry hope that it can be better."
With that, she gave Ginny a weak, but reassuring and encouraging smile before contemplating whether they should go to bed. Deciding that they needed the rest, both girls climbed into their mattresses thinking of their 'game plan' for the next day.
At 6 on the dot, both girls stirred from their slumbered almost simultaneously. Sparing a quick glance at each other, a silent compromise was made between them as they split up to get ready with Hermione opening the curtains and making their beds while Ginny started off in the bathroom. When they were both dressed, they headed down to the Great Hall for breakfast.
Reaching the hall, they noted that it was empty seeing as no one else was up as early and not wanting to wake the house elves at this hour, the two went outside and settled on a morning run instead. After all, they did need to stay in shape and keep up with their training. The dueling practices could come later in the Room of Requirements, but staying in shape was vital as well.
After running a good 45 minutes at least, they jogged towards the Entrance Hall, and saw that it was just a few minutes after seven. Going through the Great Hall which was bare except for a few students at each of the house tables, they each grabbed some pumpkin juice and fruit before heading off to change into fresh clothes.
By the time they finished getting ready again, most of the students were already up and eating breakfast. Planning on keeping to themselves and doing something right for once, they were disappointed when Augusta called out to them. They could not have denied her without being rude, so they smiled and headed over to where she was sitting at the Gryffindor table.
"Good Morning Augusta," Ginny greeted warmly with a half smile, while getting a plate.
Augusta seemed to be in an awfully good mood when she chirped, "What a wonderful morning it is indeed! Did you have a good sleep Mia? Jenny?"
Smiling weakly, Hermione finished chewing her bite of pancakes before answering, "You seem awfully happy today Augusta, yes we slept fine."
When the girl flushed, Ginny shot an amused look at Hermione and raised an eyebrow. Their run had put them in an agreeable mood as well and they were pleasantly chatting away with the people around them. Before they knew it, it was time for their first class.
This class is as boring as ever Mi
Hermione rolled her eyes after reading Ginny's note, she herself was paying attention seeing as she was intrigued on how different it was taught in this time. But nonetheless, she couldn't help but feel her lips tug as she replied to the redhead's note.
I find that it's good review... how much the curriculum changed is quite intriguing.
Hermione was listening to Binns, yes he was still teaching at this time, talk about the Goblin Rebellion when she heard Ginny's small groan and smirked slightly to herself.
you can not be serious Mi... wait, you can! Heads up though, they're watching
Frowning slightly, Hermione flicked a quick glance at Ginny who was giving her a pointed look. Scribbling something back on the parchment, she hurriedly handed it to Ginny before running over everything about their mission. The carefree moment had passed and now it was time to be serious.. though it couldn't hurt to learn something in the process.
Thanks... and just suck it up for a few minutes, the class ends soon anyways
Sure enough, the bell rang two minutes later and the class eagerly packed up.
"I don't understand how you ever pay attention in that class! It's bloody boring, as if we'll ever need it anyways," Ginny complained loudly to Hermione who was about to reply with a lecture about the importance of history when a familiar drawl cut in.
"Wouldn't expect someone like you to appreciate it anyways," Malfoy taunted lazily. Hermione narrowed her eyes and bit back a retort whereas Ginny was actually rather collected.
"You're right, I don't appreciate it, I'm glad you could understand that much of what I was saying," she replied coolly starting to walk away with Hermione, before calling out over her shoulder, "I also don't appreciate being eavesdropped on."
Not noticing the brief second of amusement pass his eyes, she turned to Hermione and they walked down the hall towards the DADA classroom getting ready for a double period. Ginny didn't understand why they would have Defense 3 days in a row, but if it helped their mission along, she certainly wasn't one to complain.
On the other hand, Hermione was a bit anxious seeing as she would be the one to duel Riddle today. After being outsmarted the previous day, to say she was not wary would be lying. She didn't doubt that she could win, but she had no idea how to approach it. Should she lose to give him the pretense of security? That wouldn't fool him though she thought bitterly.
Professor Merrythought was back to her cheerful self, it appeared. She gave the class the same instructions as the day before, only telling them to switch pairs and the class was eager to comply.
Shooting a look at Ginny, a silent conversation passed between their eyes. They leaned back into their chairs and waited for the Slytherins to approach them. When they were no where in sight after a few moments, Hermione glanced around the classroom and sure enough, the two were sitting across the rooms, leaning back as well. So they want to play she thought.
Crossing her arms, she sent a defiant look and smirked. Seeing Riddle's eyes flash a bit, Hermione smirked inwardly, she was especially pleased to see from the corner of her eye that it was probably the result of Ginny carelessly putting her feet on the desk in front of her. To say the least, she was the epitome of laziness with no intention of getting up.
Just to infuriate them, Hermione purposely looked them in the eye one at a time before mouthing Let's see and turning to Ginny to strike up a conversation. Before long, they felt a presence and a slight shadow over them and the two glanced up to see an extremely irritated Malfoy and Voldy who was trying to hide his annoyance.
Glancing at Hermione, Ginny smirked mischievously and made a show of yawning, then stretched exaggeratedly before finally getting up to stand next to Hermione.
Leaning on the older girl's shoulder, she said in an obvious fake tired voice, "Took you long enough. Didn't anyone ever tell you it's rude to keep ladies waiting?"
Malfoy's eyes flashed angrily while Riddle ground out in a flat tone, "Let's get this over with and duel Mia."
So he thinks he can mock me huh? Hermione thought, her eyes flashing a bit, before she smirked and said, "Let's go"
Accio wand Hermione thought in slight concentration while she walked around Riddle to get away from the desks. Catching it silently in her fingers, she smiled deviously when she heard Ginny smother her laugh with a cough.
Trying not to grin or smirk too widely, Hermione kept her expression in check and said, "No wands at the ready, we start on 3."
"1.." Hermione backed up a bit, "2..." she was now leaning a bit on the desk, "3!"
With that, she hopped onto the desk and sat cross legged, waiting for him to come to a realization, while taking her own wand out and twirling it in her fingers. Looking him in the eye the whole time, she smirked when his eyes narrowed angrily at her. She could almost hear his thoughts, no one toys with His Dark Lordness.
"I thought Gryffindors play by the rules," he said in a slightly strained voice as he tried to taunt her. She merely raised an eyebrow coolly.
"I thought you were supposed to be great at DADA," she taunted, "Obviously not."
Puling his wand out, she stopped twirling her own and opted to toss his from hand to hand instead, watching his eyes follow and flash in anger.
Deciding to push it some more, she mocked him, "How ever did you lose your wand so easily? Defenseless and.. powerless now eh? Guess I win."
Smirking, Hermione hopped off the desk and yawned before saying to Ginny in a voice she knew he could overhear, "No effort was even needed."
"You cheated," he hissed at her in rage and was that... acknowledgement? Hmm..so this is how to earn his respect..using his own tactics, gotta remember to tell Gin later she thought.
"I guess I did," she shrugged and replied nonchalantly before retorting, "And you wouldn't?"
Seeing him clench his jaw, she decided to follow Ginny's method and toss his wand to him. "Missing" of course and having it land in the middle of the floor. Oops she thought sarcastically, watching as he snatched it up and glare at her, wand gripped tightly in his hand.
In other circumstances, Hermione would be afraid, but she was rather enjoying herself. It wasn't everyday that one was able to humiliate the oh-so-great-and-evil "Dark Lord." The look in his eyes hinted that he was ready to kill, but she found it amusing how he couldn't keep his emotions in check.
"That didn't count," he ground out and his eyes flashed dangerously as he said or more like, demanded, "let's duel properly now."
"Or are you afraid?" Riddle spat, "Can't win without cheating?"
Raising her eyebrows, Hermione surprised herself by laughing. This seemed to irk him even more and he did look quite intimidating, but she still found it highly entertaining. Nodding, she made her way in front of him lazily.
"1 2 3," she said boredly and right away he cast an Expelliarmus. Deciding to amuse him, she stepped out of the way right before it hit her.
"Aguamenti!" He yelled out and Hermione gasped before ducking. From the corner of her eye, she saw that Ginny was laughing and Malfoy had an amused expression as well.
"Expelliarmus!" Again, Hermione made to get out of the way due to her reflexes when she suddenly thought of something. She had stepped 2 inches to the left, before quickly stopping herself and getting back in the way of the spell. As expected, it hit her right on and she was blasted back a bit.
Seeing as she hadn't taken her wand out, she decided to annoy him on purpose and made a show of holding up a hand to signal him to wait, before digging in her robes and tossing her wand to him.
"There you go, duel won," Hermione chirped in an over cheery voice, "I technically didn't have my wand out, so the spell didn't work correctly but it should of so there you go, you just won an--"
She was interrupted by a loud laugh and a smothered chuckle from Ginny and Malfoy. This did the trick and Riddle looked like he was about to snap his wand.
"Did you...just let me.. hit you with a spell?!" He just about yelled. "I. am. NOT. incompetent! I can very well win and I don't need you to purposely let me win."
After his rant there was a few seconds of quiet before Hermione broke the trance by retrieving her wand and walking to Ginny with a triumphant smirk on her face. They had just broken down the first wall that this mission sent at them.
