Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry and a bazillion more sorrys for not updating in a long time. I'll get right on with it now. Remember people from the past will have their names italicized (or whatever it is, I don't think that's right) except for Sirius.

DO NOT OWN HP OR CHARACTERS.

2010

"Sooo, should we tell you the deaths in order of how they happened or . . . I dunno-this is really awkward." Ron said scrunching up his face.

"That'd make more sense and could you maybe tell us how they died?" Hermione suggested diplomatically. The adults from the future glanced at Harry and he shrugged.

"Sure?"

Everyone from the past leaned forward from the edge of their chairs looking scared, yet eager for knowledge. Taking in the looks of the future people though they felt extremely apprehensive. Harry looked, well much like the fifteen year old Harry had been looking for a long time. Ginny seemed younger than she is, tired and sad. Ron looked green in the face. And so on with the other three. . . .

"Well Sirius died at the end of our fifth year." Harry said gesturing to Ron and Hermione. Harry paled thinking that would be in less than a year. Sirius gave his godson a kind, reassuring smile. "It was at the Department of Mysteries," Ginny and Ron both visibly winced at that name and Ron began to rub at his long arms unconsciously. "and we-Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Neville, Luna, and I-went there because we thought we were saving Sirius. It turned out to be a trick from Voldemort. We fought the Death Eaters until the Order showed up. Sirius started to fight Bellatrix Lestrange and she-he," Harry faltered here but plowed on, "she hit Sirius with a spell (I still don't know what it was) and he was thrown back into a veil an-and he didn't come out."

Molly stared at Harry, horrified. He had lost so much and now he lost his godfather too? How cruel is that? And in such a horrible way. If she ever got her hands on that Bellatrix . . . .

Sirius was looking devastated but tried heroically for a grin (it didn't work). "Well how about that, the great Sirius Black-killed by drapery. Sigh. I knew I would die, but I didn't know it would be so-awkward."

Ron began to speak. "Er do all the deaths have to be so . . . lengthy? I would really feel better if they were quick and we didn't have to-relive them." Hermione (who had tears in her eyes now) nodded vigorously in agreement. So did everyone else.

"Well Dumbledore was killed in sixth year and I think it would be better if I didn't get into that." Harry muttered looking towards the door right as it opened to reveal Al. Ginny immediately looked up at her son and went over to him.

"What is it sweetie?" she asked picking him up. The four-soon-to-be-five-year-old (yes I know I think I said he was five before but I'm gonna say he turns five while the time travelers are there, sorry) peered over his mothers shoulder and said matter-of-factly "There still here."

"Yes, and we're having a really important discussion, so would you go back up with Rosie?"

"I can't stay?" he asked innocently staring at her with wide green eyes. She grimaced and looked away not able to take the puppy dog face.

"No, Al, sorry. But you wouldn't want to anyways, it's a boring conversation."

He sighed. "Okay, but can we-Rose and I-go over to the Burrow?" Ginny began to disagree when he said quickly, "I mean we'd be out of the way and wouldn't bother you. Please?"

"Fine, but I have to help you with floo powder." She began walking out the door and called over her shoulder, "Be right back."

All of her younger (as in from the past) brothers huddled together giving one another glances like 'she's good with kids, who knew?'

Older Ron frowned unhappily and muttered, "She knows Al and Rose are perfectly capable of using floo powder themselves, she just went to get out of here."

"Can you blame her?" Percy asked.

"Can we get on to my death now?" Fred cried looking hesitant but annoyed.

Molly and well everyone else flinched. "You're not dead."

"Yeah he is." Heads swiveled to stare at George who had been quiet a long time. He stared at the empty fireplace, tugging at the hole on his head (that must have been a new nervous habit). Molly gaped at him tears forming in her eyes. George looked at them so sullenly he looked like a different person. He continued, dead-panned, "In the final battle Rookwood-Rookwood blew up the whole corridor Fred, Perce, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were fighting in and-" the man's shoulders slumped and he stopped talking, and since everyone had their gazes fixed on him they didn't notice George wrap his arms around his twin looking terrified. Fred seemed surprised at the reaction of both Georges to his death.

"And who else?" Sirius asked. "R-Remus? Tonks?"

Hermione nodded filled with grief. "Remus was killed in a duel with Dolohov and Bellatrix killed Tonks." She whispered. Sirius put his head in his hands, clutching at his hair, shoulders shaking. There wasn't any word(s) that could describe his distress at his best friend and cousins deaths.

"Right after Teddy too." He whispered to himself.

The rest of the people from the past clumped tightly around Fred, crushing him in there affection. The only reason the soon-to-be-dead-boy didn't groan and push away from their suffocation was because Harry and Ginny had been squished in the middle, right next to each other, almost uncomfortably close. Harry blushed but Ginny seemed so stricken she didn't notice until Harry got over his shyness and put a tentative arm around her, comfortingly. Oh boy he and George would have a field day teasing them now.

Fred heard the kitchen door open but didn't see who came in over the mob of red heads. He only heard Sirius say "We're dead." Why would he be telling Ginny that? She already knew.

So who had shown up now?

PLEASE READ

Good chapter, bad chapter? I was upset writing this because Fred, Lupin, and Tonks were my fave characters and I cried very hard when they were killed. I actually memorized the paragraph when Fred died because I stared at it so long not believing what it said. Okay now I'm gonna have this new thing in each chapter like one of those Book of the Month things, I'm callin it 'Book of the Chapter'! Brilliant right? I'm going to say a book I really love and that I think you'll love to and I hope you'll take my word for it and read it.

Okay the first Book of the Chapter is *drum roll*: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, Book One of the Mortal Instrument series. (Clary/Jace shipper all the way! No I'm not trying to influence your shipping choices before you read the book!)

If you do read them on my recommendation please PM or review on this story and tell me what you think of the books.

This a good idea?
