Chapter 7: Until You Know Our Names... Katherine Perspective


I closely looked at the 4th year standing in front of the foreign crowd and noticed she was completely different. She had chestnut brown frizzy hair, dark brown eyes that looked black and were filled of wonder and curiosity. She had a nervous smile on and was slightly short still holding Hogwarts' library books in her hand and a lantern in the other. She sort of looked like the Statue of Library with her green Slytherin robes, books in one hand lantern in the other and sheik metro look with perfect posture.

But she could pass for and looked like Vanessa Marano with all of her pretty brunette hair and daring brown eyes. I would think the Statue of Library was built to look like her if it had frizzy hair, a headband, dimples and green and silver rimmed glasses. Andromeda looked around and faltered when she saw her sisters.

"I'm in Slytherin..." She pointed at her green and silver robes.

"... My full name is Andromeda Carla Black, but call me Andy, I'm 15, the oldest in the family, I once laughed so hard pumpkin juice came from my nose, I love to laugh and tell jokes... Oh wait I travelled with Molly, Arthur, Ted, Narcissi and Bellatrix, we're all from 1963." Everyone stiffened at the name Bellatrix except Bellatrix herself.

Andromeda smiled more confidently this time and gracefully sat back down next to Ted and Molly.

"I'm going!" Bellatrix called in a singsong voice standing up and immediately talking in an interesting excited loud tone. It sounded nothing like the psychotic mass murdering evil Bellatrix that everybody talked about... I wonder what happened to her.

She looked exactly like Andromeda except without glasses. Her style was more formal vintage classic then sheik metro girly like Andromeda is.

"I'm Bellatrix Aaron Black, but you can call Bella, I'm 14, the middle child, I'm in Slytherin too..." She was not in her robes but in Quidditch robes which were only green but she had silver accessories.

"...I can sleep through most things, and I taught Sissy and Andy how to make milk come out of their noses...oh and the curly haired one over there..." She was pointing and waving at the 15 year old Sirius while he hid behind Worm-tail and 15 year old James and 15 year old Remus laughed uncontrollably.

"Yeah that one hiding behind the cubby boy... Peter is it? Well anyway, that boy is my cousin Sirius." She flawlessly skipped to Andromeda and flopped down quietly while glaring at Ted.

A petite blonde haired girl I assumed was Narcissi walked to the front carrying a sophisticated preppy modest vibe with her out of uniform dress that was dark green, went to her mid-calf, ruffles on the shoulder, and a high modest v lined top. She looked head to toe like a blonde haired Petunia Dursley with fancier clothes.

"My full name is Narcissi Maria Black, you can call me Cissy, I'm 12, a Slytherin like my sisters and I just came back from a date." She smiled when she said date and shyly sat down in between her two sisters. Ted now stood up and quietly went to the front of the crowd.

"My name is Ted Nickolas Tonks, call me Ted, I'm in Ravenclaw, 19 years old, a muggle-born and only child." He sat back down in a quiet but strong matter.

Arthur had a head of thick smooth red hair and deep rich blue eyes. "My name is Arthur Bilius Weasley, I'm a Gryffindor, 15 years, and I am sort of fascinated by muggles."

At that half of his speech was drowned out by snorts, giggles, laughter, and wolf whistles. When he sat down smiled earnestly, Molly then bounced up and practically floated to the front.

She had a school girl, punk; 60's look about her that made you want to be her friend like the Grandma Weasley I know. "My name's Molly Esmée Prewett, I'm 14, in Gryffindor, and I am a tutor in almost all of the subjects for younger students; I love babysitting!"

Molly merrily plopped down near Arthur and next to Andromeda. I looked at Teddy who was silently listening with his eyes closed on the floor leaning his head on the couch arm alone while everyone else talked and listened. I was sort of alone too when I thought about it; I was sitting behind the couch hidden so that I could see everyone but they couldn't see me.

Zoe, Embry and Scarlett are behind the couch with me; Zoe with a quilt sprawled on her and Embry while laying on Embry's lap eyes staring at Embry and mumbling inaudible things that required him to smirk and rub her shoulders fawningly and occasionally contribute to their privet conversation.

Scarlett, on the other hand was using a muggle device to Skype with her fiancé using a laptop and headphones. I was just watching every one when I realized Teddy only had one or two sips and seemed to feel much better now. I watched him listen to the buzzing chatter of various conversations, determining whether or not to bother him.

"Those were all very nice introductions, now who would like to go next?" Dumbledore's voice broke through the buzz of conversations as they all silenced to hear what he had to say. When he finished, Remus got up and went to the front of our group somewhat shyly.

"I'm Remus John Lupin, I am a Gryffindor, and I love to read..." James then jumped up looking like a delighted madman. "He's also a murderer, one of four, he's the mind behind all of our..." James proudly stated proudly interrupting Remus and being interrupted by Petunia.

"You're a murderer, that's terrible; we should call the cops, being kidnapped to a room filled with murderers, what's wrong with all of you?"

"It's the name of our pranking group." James blurted out in an I'm-so-freaking-superior way, while Teddy's fifteen year old father tried to finish his speech.

"Anyway... I am a Quidditch anouncer and I'll be a Perfect this year."

"You can call him Mooney or Remy." Sirius declared standing up and putting a hand on his shoulder. "You may call me neither of those names; just call me Remus." Remus added with an eye roll.

"I'm Sirius Orion Black, a fifth year keeper, Gryffindor, currently available..." At this most everybody snickered, laughed, wolf whistled, or rolled their eyes.

"Are you aware you are a womanizer?" Lilly asked half disgusted half amused.

"Yes, Lilly Evens, I am dangerously aware of that but it makes me so deliriously happy!" He said with a boyish smirk and a suggestive wink.

"I'm James Aaron Potter, seeker, Gryffindor, boyfriend of Lilly Evens..."

"What you are not my boyfriend Potter..."

"But I loooove you Lil and someday we're bound to go out... mother of my child." Lilly looked livid and very murderous with her very annoyed extremely pissed look and was about to say something when Alice jumped up with Frank linked to her arm and jumped in the argument.

"James stop acting like a creep; Lilly be nice..." Alice stepped up and now turned to our group.

"...I'm Alice this is Frank..." Alice pinched Frank who nodded to the question Alice never asked. Alice pushed James back down while Frank squeezed his way out of Alice's death grip on his bicep and sunk back down near James.

Lilly decided to go now to fill the deafening silence. "My full name is Lilly Marina Evens; I'm a Gryffindor, and Alice's best friend."

"My name is Alice Melissa Hale, I'm a Gryffindor like Lilly, and I'm dating Frank Longbottem."

I looked at everyone again seeing that Embry was asleep while Zoe had her head on his shoulder staring out into space while caressing his torso tenderly.

Scarlett gently sat back down on her newly arrived fiancé, Cliff's lap facing him while slightly smiling and lightly bouncing on his lap having a conversation.

Everybody in the present had a significant other who they were speaking with. The people who presented already were getting acquainted even Alice was talking to Bellatrix; Ted was laughing at Fred and George in the back of the room completely unaware of the circle of everyone else in this house and my dad and the two Dumbledores were talking on the opposite wall, both unnoticed by everyone else.

The adults, the only adults were here from 1995 or the present, were discussing something, children I presume, because the past Molly looked like it was Christmas Day and the present one looked like a proud story teller.

The teenagers that didn't go yet were talking in their respective groups while Ginny looked very hurt by something Harry said and Ron and Hermione were arguing quietly.

Teddy on the other hand was quietly sitting on the floor watching his adult father from the past with a look of worry and awe on his face. His brows were furrowed; his lips were in an extremely thoughtful pout; he constantly ruffed his hair smoothed it out, buttoned and unbuttoned his shirt; and he was mumbling to himself while glancing away every few seconds at different stuff in the room and landing on his mother.

Looking between his parents his legs started to shake and pretty soon his whole body was shaking and he was breathing fast and heavy.

I began to panic and quickly crawled to the arm of the couch and sat next to him watching him anxiously. Watching him I could see his hair change from Black to Yellow to Light Grey to Violet to Ebony to Dawn to Copper to Red to a Darkish Rainbow to White and back to turquoise again. I knew black meant he was stressed, yellow meant nervous, light grey meant lonely, violet meant temperamental, dawn meant emotional, copper meant intensely touchy, red meant anger, the darkish rainbow meant overwhelmed and zany and white meant he was somewhat detached.

He started shivering more noticeably and took a huge gulp of his water bottle before slightly gaining control on his trembling. I looked at him in horror and slid on his shaky lap, started to massage his shoulders and kissed his face and neck sympathetically.

"We could leave or talk to him or whatever you want; Teddy?" I said kissing him on the cheek, jaw line, neck and chastely on the mouth and looking him in his now burgundy eyes. I smirked when I realized burgundy meant lust and lifted myself up to kiss his forehead.

His legs slowly stopped quivering and I moved my hands from his shoulders to his knees and gradually caressed my way up his thigh until... "Stop, you're hurting me!" He said it half-jokingly but I slid off of him mumbling an apology, my smile completely gone. He pulled me close to him in a thoughtful manner his hair dark grey and his eyes back to that dark rainbow colour. He was now overwhelmed and thoughtful all over again; he looked at the group and I realized we missed a bunch of stuff.

"You didn't miss anything important." Sam, Victiore's husband, said quickly before turning around and continuing to snog his wife under the coffee table eagerly.

"My name is Regulus Arcturus Black; I'm a Slytherin, and Sirius' younger brother." He barely even stopped at the front of the group before sitting down waiting for someone.

"My name is Severus Leonard Snape, I am a Slytherin, and my favourite subjects are Defence Against the Dark Arts and Potions." Severus looked like he wanted to sit next to the bookshelves near the door leading to the empty hallway, but Regulus pulled him down and immediately started talking fast and excitedly.

Teddy took another sip of his half empty bottle and closed his eyes concentrating on making his hair blue. I practically dragged him behind the coach hoping not staring at his father would calm his nerves.

Zoe was finally asleep on Embry and Scarlett and Clint were gone without a trace, so I pulled Teddy to the floor and sat on his stomach pinning him with one knee on each side of his waist and using my fore arm to hold his upper arms down. "I love you!" I whispered before kissing him on the mouth. He smiled thoughtfully at me then uncertainly sizing me up and let out a frustrated sigh.

"I don't... know if..." Teddy started twirling my hair lovingly while I looked at his hands allowing a small smile and looking him in the eye. "You can tell me anything and it won't change the fact that I love you; okay, I love you so much."

Dudley and Petunia apparently went because they started playing cards.

"Stay...stay with me?" He whispered in a sensitive voice flipping me over and kissing my neck. When we came up for air; Cho, Neville, Luna, Draco, Harry, Hermione, Ginny, Ron, Fred, George, Percy, Padma, Pavarotti and Fleur already went.

"My name is Adriana Clarissa Clearwater, my nickname is Audrey, I was a Hufflepuff and I'm dating Percy." She quickly walked to Percy before people could stare while the next two people got up.

"My full name is Angelina Sarah Johnson, I'm a Gryffindor, and the Holyhead Harpies recruiters are following me although it isn't my last year at Hogwarts."

"My name is Alicia Jessica Spinnet, I'm a Gryffindor as well and the Holyhead Harpies are trying to recruit me as well; we're both chasers." They sat down together and a confused looking strawberry blonde with big hazel eyes who couldn't be older then twenty-four stood up.

"I'm Adeline Savannah Ward, I went to Euro-Glyph School of Extraordinary Languages in Montreal a major city in Quebec, Canada; I know over 168 languages and I travel a lot doing the Department of International Magical Cooperation in the International Confederation of Wizards section and I make my own clothes."

She smiled at all of us, twirled in her original silver-blue silk dress that had a light a-lined skirt that ruffled and curled at her knees so that it looked like an upside-down Tulip; and walked out of the room where all of the adult women left to talk in the kitchen.

A smaller version of the young woman who just left and Tonks stood up. The smaller woman had a bob, freckles, and pretty feathers in her hair. The other one had a vibrant pink hair shade, a wide smile, and neither girl looked older than fifteen.

"My name is Addie as well, I'm younger, and this is my best friend Tonks, we go to different schools, she's a metamorphmagus while I'm a harpy, and we both want to work for the Ministry Of Magic; but I'd like to work for your country not mine." "And I'd like to be an auror not an International Magical Cooperation, like Addie, and I'm an only child; but we're both fourteen." They both sat down and a male with red hairstood up.

"I'm Charlie Gideon Weasley, fifteen, Gryffindor, and also a future dragon trainer." "Billiam Fabien Weasley, seventeen, I want to work at Gringots." Silence filled the room and it soon turned into loud rumbles of chatter.

"Come on we'll go see your father, if that will make you feel better." I whispered to him and with his slight nod, we slowly crept to the door until Teddy tripped on a lamp near the hallway door.

"Hey, they didn't go!" Draco and Dudley stopped talking so Dudley could point that out while Draco snorted spitefully with a smirk. Everybody from the past stopped talking almost immediately.

"Dinners almost ready, everybody get ready!" Dumbledore said before leaving the room. Exactly twenty nine minutes and five seconds later; Zoe and Embry were the last people to come down to the kitchen and sat down.

The kitchen filled with adults, teens and children; looked like an overcrowded family reunion until they eventually raced out of the hectic kitchen to eat, loudly I might add, in the dinning room. In my dining room lasagne, spaghetti, salmon, steak, chicken, and tacos were spread across the dining table with various sides like mashed potatoes, rice, yams and fruit salad and the deserts like pie, ice cream, cake and brownies.

The time travellers ate noisily while the present people stayed in the dining room watching the past people with wonder and curiosity. They eventually finished all of the food, nobody starting the desert because they were way too full. After the adults ushered us in the living room so we could finish our conversation and they could finish theirs.

The people from the present slowly stopped snogging, snacking, and watching the time travellers and stood up a few at a time. Teddy had his arm around my waist and I had my head on his shoulder, looking around so did most everybody else that was a young adult.

The teens just huddled in circles and groups and the children held a young adults hand quietly looking around. Teddy looked at everyone in the room and smiled stepping up and pulling me with him with a playful smirk. "So I guess you want to officially meet all of us weird futuristic kids now?"
