Chapter Seven: Back In Time

Ginny gave a cry of surprise as Hermione stumbled out of the fireplace with her bags of gear, followed by Draco moments later. Hermione looked at Ginny in confusion before smiling at her happily.

"Hey!" cried Ginny hugging her, "How was Bulgaria? Evening Malfoy."

Draco nodded before giving a small cough, "I'll head home. Goodbye Hermione... Ginny."

"Bye Draco," answered Hermione vaguely as she sat on the lounge with Ginny looking at Hermione curiously.

"So… you never answered my question."

Hermione looked up at Ginny frowning before replying, "Yes I brought gifts."

Ginny gave a short laugh but shook her head, "I never asked about gifts."

"What… what did you ask?"

"Maybe I should ask another question all together. What the heck is wrong with you?"

"I… I was drunk."

"Okay."

"I cracked onto Draco."

"You… you cracked onto Malfoy?"

Hermione nodded frowning, "Something was about to happen, but he gave me a sober potion before anything could happen."

"I'm confused."

"You aren't the only one," murmured Hermione before shaking her head, "Who cares about that anyway? So, what's been happening here?"

"Nothing. It's been quiet, really."

"Fun. I had to stop an Evillian from killing the Mistress of Magic in Bulgaria."

"What?" cried Ginny as Luna arrived home grinning from ear to ear.

"Hermione!" cried Luna rushing in too hug her happily, "Welcome home!"

"You killed an Evillian?"

Hermione nodded as Luna's mouth dropped open in surprise. Both women listened as Hermione told them about her fight and first premonition.

"Whoa," said Luna with a slow nod, "Did the fire ball hurt?"

"A little. My robes need mending but I didn't get hurt or anything. Besides, I have gifts for you both, Ron and Harry."

Hermione grabbed one of the bags. She pulled out Ginny's square box and handed it too her and then handed Luna her never ending ink and silver pointed eagle feather quill.

"Oh… they are beautiful," cried Ginny pulling out the earrings to look at.

"Hermione… this ink costs a fortune!" gasped Luna reading the label.

"Not in Bulgaria and I knew you wanted some."

"Oh thankyou!"

Hermione hugged Luna and Ginny happily as the door bell rang.

"You go upstairs and unpack," ordered Ginny, "I'll get the door."

"Oh! I'll go check on the book!" cried Luna helping Hermione gather her gear before the two-headed upstairs.

Ginny walked out to the front door and opened it up revealing Harry and Ron.

"Hello. What are you two doing here?" frowned Ginny before giving Harry a quick kiss on the lips as she let them both in.

"Well, we thought we would come around for a visit," said Ron with a shrug.

"Ron's idea," added Harry, "He claimed he was bored and thought coming here would be more… interesting."

Ginny smiled at her brother. She knew he was sweet on Luna but was too Ron like to admit it. Luna was just as sweet on Ron and was forever smiling when she was around him. It was amusing to watch the pair flirt like school children and be bashful when either one gives them a compliment.

"Hermione just got home," said Ginny walking into the living room with them both, "So I guess everything went well politically in Bulgaria."

"Great. Where is she?" asked Harry.

"Unpacking in her bedroom. Luna is checking on the book so she should be down in a few moments or so."

"I wonder if Hermione brought us some gifts?" commented Ron earning a look from Harry and Ginny.

"Coffee?"

"Sure," nodded Harry, "I'll help you."

"One for me too," added Ron as his sister and bestfriend headed to the kitchen hand in hand.

CO

"You didn't want to help me," smiled Ginny as Harry drew her closer to him for a kiss, "Did you?"

"Possibly," replied Harry before he kissed her on the lips softly, "I wanted to ask you something. I've been meaning too for a long time."

"What's that?" asked Ginny as she turned in Harry's arms to flick the jug on and get the five cups of coffee ready.

"Well… it is a big question and I don't want to look like a fool asking you."

Ginny scooped some coffee into Harry's cup before turning to face him frowning a little, "How could you look a fool asking me something?"

"Oh! I thought I heard your voice!" cried Hermione as she walked into the kitchen before pausing, "Sorry... did I interrupt something?"

"No," said Harry stepping away from Ginny to hug Hermione, "Glad you got home so soon."

Hermione smiled at she pulled away, "Same. I got a gift for you. It's in the living room. I just gave Ron his."

Ginny gave a chuckle, "Did he act like a kid?"

"Look at this!" cried Ron bursting into the kitchen holding the framed picture with Viktor's signature, "He wrote: 'My friend Ron. I hope you are well. Sincerely, your friend, Viktor Krum.' How cool is that? This is awesome Hermione."

Hermione shrugged and glanced at Harry and Ginny sensing she had indeed interrupted something, "Come on Ron. Luna is testing out her ink."

Leading Ron by the arm, Hermione left the kitchen leaving Ginny and Harry in peace once more. Ginny poured the hot water into the coffees and walked over to the fridge to pull out the bottle of milk.

"So, you wanted to ask me something?" said Ginny curiously.

Harry nodded, "Well… we have been dating for… a long time now."

"Yeah, five years now."

Harry nodded, "You know I love you."

"Of course I do. I love you as well."

"Well," said Harry taking Ginny by the hand and turning her to face him as he knelt down on one knee and pulled out a round white silk box, "Ginerva Molly Weasley… will you marry me?"

Ginny dropped the spoon in her hand and looked at Harry with wide eyes, "Is… is this for real?"

"Yeah. It is for real," answered Harry as he opened the box and revealed a gold ring with a white round diamond with two small round pink ones on either side.

Ginny gasped and smiled as she nodded, "Yes. Of course I will marry you!"

Harry stood up and pulled the ring from the case and slipped it onto Ginny's finger before kissing her happily.

"I love you so, so much," grinned Ginny looking Harry in the eyes before she kissed him again, "Come on. We need to tell the other's."

"Or, we could act liked nothing has happened and wait for one of them to see the ring?"

Ginny grinned, "I like that idea."

Harry carried the tray of coffees out as Ginny brought out the jar of her choc-chip cookies. In the living room Hermione, Luna and Ron were chatting happily about some random topic that was causing laughter.

"Here we go," said Harry breaking up the conversation, "Coffee's all around… your's Ron… Hermione's… and Luna, here you go."

"Thanks," smiled Luna taking her coffee from Harry as Ginny opened the jar of cookies.

"Did Mum give you her secret recipe for these?" asked Ron biting into one.

"No. I make them normally."

"Maybe it is just the Weasley touch then."

"Which will soon become the Potter touch," grinned Hermione looking at Ginny then down at her finger, "Did this just happen?"

"What happened?" frowned Ron.

"They're engaged!" cried Luna seeing Ginny's ring as well, "Oh congratulations!"

Ron gave a cough as he saw the rock on his sister's finger and looked at Harry in surprise, "Why didn't I know?"

"It was a surprise… that is why."

"It took you five years," chuckled Hermione, grinning at Harry.

"Still, it didn't make asking the question any less nerve racking."

Everyone chuckled in reply before they gave a toast to the new engagement with their coffee's and cookies.

CO

"Oh my baby girl!" cried Molly engulfing Ginny in a bone cracking hug, "Oh and Harry dear!"

Harry smiled as Molly gave him her hug before shaking Arthur's hand.

"Congratulations," nodded Arthur.

"Oh and soon I will have another grandchild," sighed Molly causing Ginny and Harry to look at each other in surprise.

"N-Not for a little while longer, Mum," said Ginny, "I have Power of Three stuff to deal with and work commitments like Harry."

"Yeah," nodded Harry, "In two years maybe?"

Ginny nodded, "Two years at least."

Molly sighed, "Well I can wait two years. There is the wedding to plan. Have you thought of a date yet?"

"Molly they have only just gotten engaged," chuckled Arthur, "Let them get used to that idea first."

"I have to get to work now anyway," sighed Ginny glancing at her watch, "So I will see you later Mum, Dad."

Harry gave a nod as well, "Yeah I better get going as well."

After saying goodbye they headed outside together to the apperation point. Harry turned to Ginny and gave her a small smile.

"I was thinking of a date," he said quietly.

"Were you now?" smiled Ginny.

"Yeah. I found out that my parents were married on the 31st of October."

Ginny's eyes widened in surprise, "That's four months away."

"I know."

"But I think it would be nice to get married on the same day as your parents."

"Really?"

"Really," smiled Ginny before kissing him gently, "Now… how about you come around tonight… I finish at seven and we can discuss the wedding in more detail?"

"Sounds like a plan," murmured Harry as he kissed Ginny again before both left for their jobs.

"Hello Dorles," said Ginny, as Umbridge came into her office for a check up, "How is everything going?"

"Sandy's funeral was yesterday," said Umbridge quietly, "It was a beautiful one. I had her favourite flower's everywhere and she was in her favourite robes- her sky blue ones with the white trimming. Her hair was curled in its normal manner."

Ginny nodded, "I'm sure it was lovely. Have you been bothered at all by anyone or anything?"

"They told me they know someone else has the book."

"Do they know who?"

"No. They only said it is not in its normal protection. Something about another witch power that has risen again after twenty five years."

Ginny nodded though her heart was pounding a mile a minute, "Let's check your… your arm."

"Are you okay missy?"

"Oh yeah. Just a tad tired," lied Ginny as she went over Umbridge's healing burn that Dean had done top work on, "Well everything is healing well. I'll give you another prescription for the cream you have been using. Another two weeks or so and it should we well healed."

Umbridge nodded and took the prescription. After she left Ginny sat at her desk rubbing her forehead. She stood and walked out knowing she couldn't run away from work whenever something happened. She couldn't let her other life interrupt with her normal one.

CO

Ginny headed up stairs ignoring her friend's calls as they saw her arrive. She walked into the attic to find Draco sitting on the lounge going over some of his own work files. He looked up at Ginny in surprise as Hermione and Luna came jogging in behind her.

"Is the book okay?" asked Ginny worriedly.

"Yeah, why wouldn't it be?" frowned Draco closing his work file as he looked at Ginny.

"I saw Umbridge today."

"How is she coping?" asked Hermione as her and Luna walked into the attic behind Ginny.

"Well, Sandy's funeral was yesterday. Umbridge said it was lovely… but she has experienced visits from the Evillians," explained Ginny, "They know someone else has the book. The Evillians know that the book is under different protection from a witch power that has risen again after twenty five years."

"So they are getting closer to knowing it's us?" asked Luna.

"I think so. We have all faced them now and two of them saw your mark, Luna."

"We all knew this was bound to happen," commented Hermione, "It was a matter of when that time would come."

"Hermione is right," agreed Draco standing up beside Hermione, although he took a step away from her causing Ginny and Luna to swap curious looks, "We knew they would find out. We have stopped them from getting the Prophecy, so we are a step ahead of them."

"We need to keep a step ahead of them. And stop… stop acting weird around me."

"I'm not."

"You are. You just took a leap away from me like I have some contagious disease!" cried Hermione, "I know something happened in Bulgaria and I want you to tell me the entire truth."

"Ummm… excuse me?" said Ginny loudly causing the two to look at her in annoyance, "Yeah, sorry to interrupt this… tiff of some sort but we kind of have a bigger issue on our hands by the name of the Great Evil. So can we kindly return to this topic and leave the domestic issues to a later time?"

"Sorry," both muttered with Hermione crossing her arms over her chest and Draco shooting a glare at her.

"Right, so how do we keep that step ahead?"

"It's a full moon," whispered Luna looking at a chart beside the spells book, "Next month I mean. July the 14th is the next full moon."

"What are you suggesting?" asked Hermione walking over to eye the moon chart.

"Between now and the next full moon I am guessing that the Great Evil will be spending his time to find out where the book is, get his hands on it and wake the Princesses. At the full moon they are at their powerfullest, right?"

"Wake them and we will have no choice but to reveal ourselves and destroy them," said Hermione nodding slowly.

"Then he can start devising a plan to get us out of his way from slowly but surely rising in power now that You-Know-Who is well and truly out of power."

"Yeah but hang on a second," said Ginny not seeing Harry walk into the attic, in fact no one did as all were too deep in discussion, "One: why wait five to six years after You-Know-Who is gone to jump into power? In fact this guy has had centuries to jump up and proclaim himself the king of evil. And two: we don't even know how to destroy these bloody princesses."

"Well in between protecting this book we are going to have find the answers to those questions," said Draco, "I'll go and speak to the Heads."

"I'll check the spell book and guard the other book," said Hermione ignoring Draco as he looked at her.

"I'll check past papers. Something might be in those," said Luna exiting the attic, "Oh, hey Harry."

"Harry!" cried Ginny turning around to see her fiancée, "How long have you been standing there?"

"Long enough to be confused. Is everything okay?" asked Harry waving to Hermione who gave a wave back as Draco left.

"Power of Three stuff. Come on, I'll fill you in down stairs. Oh and Hermione?" said Ginny turning around to her friend.

"Yeah?"

"We should talk to our mothers about what they tried on the Princesses."

Hermione nodded and Ginny left hand in hand with Harry for downstairs to her bedroom. She shut the door behind her and her and Harry climbed onto the bed with Ginny resting her head on Harry's chest. He wrapped his arm around her as she filled him in on the new details from Umbridge.

"Do you need Ron and I to help guard the book?"

"You and Ron shouldn't get involved. We can handle it."

"But I want to help. You are my fiancée and Ron is your brother, Hermione's bestfriend and he has a crush on Luna… so I am pretty sure he will want to help out."

"I swear everything will be fine Harry. We can manage."

CO

A week flew past with Ginny, Hermione, and Luna with assistance from Draco, trying to gather as much information on the Great Evil and the Princesses. It was difficult with very little information too be found. Lynette and Molly told them that they merely fought with their powers and in the end used a strong sleeping potion much like the one used on them in the first place to defeat the Princesses.

"I can't find a thing," said Hermione flipping through the Historical Magic and Spells book, "But I have found a few pages ripped out in the middle where it goes from the vampires to the Evillians."

Draco walked over from where he was standing and peered at the missing four pages, "The rips look old."

"Really old… the edges look soft."

"Do you think that would be the part on the Great Evil?" asked Ginny looking up from a textbook on ancient magic.

"Could be. Someone obviously didn't want information on him to be common knowledge but whom? Surely the generations of Power of Three before us wanted us to know everything about him."

"Why wouldn't they? We have to do our bit in stopping him," said Luna firmly, "We need to find those pages."

Hermione looked down at the pages and frowned, "There is a way to get them back. We can use a time spell to find out when the pages were ripped from the books."

"And what? Travel back to that time and stop the person from ripping them out?" asked Ginny in disbelief.

"Ummm… that is what I was thinking we could do."

Ginny looked at Hermione and gave a chuckle shaking her head, "Hermione we can only travel back so far in time."

"On the normal magic strand yes… but we are the extreme strand and we can do a whole lot more."

"It's still dangerous," said Draco firmly.

"See!" cried Ginny, "Even Malfoy thinks it's a silly idea. What about you Luna?"

"Like I said, we need to find those pages and Hermione's shown us the only option in doing so," shrugged Luna.

Hermione smiled at Luna, "Okay let me just find out the date, and we can get a move on."

Hermione pulled her wand out and tapped the book twice before flicking her wand. Above the book hovered a date that had everyone staring at it in shock.

"One thousand and twenty one," said Hermione, "That's during the time that Enid, Elizabeth and Emily's granddaughter's were in Power. They started the book?"

Draco nodded, "So you plan on travelling that far back in time?"

"If we have too we will."

"Were humans burning witches then?" asked Ginny curiously.

"I think so," replied Luna, "Just don't let them know you're a witch."

"Uh huh and we plan on appearing out of thin air?"

"Arrive at Hogsmeade. Back then it was still a witch and wizard town like it is today. Hogwarts was established then too," said Draco

"Where will we find Amelia, Anne and Annette?" asked Ginny trying to find numerous reasons not to go.

"We will find them one way or another," murmured Hermione who had found a spell in the book that would take them back in time, "We will have a full day until we are to arrive back at Hogsmeade in time to catch the portal back here."

"A portal… alright, well just as long we don't get burnt at the stake."

"Ginny, since when have you been so… jumpy?" asked Luna frowning at her friend curiously.

"I don't know, but I just am. And we don't have clothes to even suit that time."

Hermione looked at the trunks around the room and walked over to one. She unlocked it and opened the lid revealing three peasant style dresses with robes. She handed Ginny a brown and grey one, Luna a white and black one and her self a grey and black one. Each took a black wizarding robe and went to their rooms to dress.

Ginny looked at the dress and grimaced. The sleeves were long and the dress skimmed the ground. She pulled her hair up into a respectful bun and lengthened her short fringe to suit the period of time. She wiped her make up off and cleaned away her nail polish, removed her earrings and regretfully the ring Harry gave her proclaiming her his fiancée.

She headed up stairs to the attic pulling on her cloak to see Harry and Ron waiting for them.

"What on earth are you wearing?" exclaimed Ron seeing his sister in her conservative attire.

"Oh, I'm going on a one day trip to the year one thousand and twenty one! Exciting isn't it just?"

"You are travelling back to a time that is over seven centuries ago?" cried Harry.

"We need to get information on the Great Evil if we are to ever face him," explained Hermione walking in looking very demure in her dress with her hair tucked back under a grey hat like thing. She handed Ginny a brown one and Luna a black one, "Don't worry. We will be back in a day or so. Keep an eye on the book."

Ginny sighed and placed her flimsy hat on as properly as possible using a spell to keep it in place.

"Let's go," said Luna as Hermione found her scrap of paper with the spell on it.

Hermione stood between the two of them and they read the spell out loud.

"Time turner in the air,

Take us three where we must appear,

To the time of Amelia, Anne and Annette,

This one bid we ask of time in the air."

The three looked at Draco, Harry, and Ron one last time before they were sucked into a black portal with images of events in the past playing behind them.

"Do you think they'll be okay?" asked Ron hesitantly.

Harry and Draco remained silent for a few moments before answering with a forced nod and smile.

"Yeah, yeah," said Harry.

"Of course," said Draco as the three took seats around the attic to wait out the day for their return home.

CO

Ginny hit the ground beside Hermione and Luna before they stood up too see they were in the middle of a field of grass where their house, in their time, would normally be. Ginny stood up and looked around her as she dusted off her long skirt.

"So… Hogsmeade is that way," said Ginny pointing too the road a few meters away, "Do you think someone might know Amelia, Anne and Annette?"

"Well if we say they are cousins they might know who we are speaking about," suggested Luna, "Do we need an alias?"

"It would be safe," said Hermione, "We could be visiting from… London for the day for the first time… we are friends of course."

"Right… my name will be Mary," said Ginny thinking of a common name.

"I'll be Jane," said Hermione thinking of her middle name before looking at Luna.

"Katherine?" asked Luna frowning.

"Yeah. That name is common."

The three headed too the road and walked in towards Hogsmeade that wasn't as big as it was in their time. There were a few houses, the main street with the Pub, only it was called Hogsmeade Inn. Hogwarts students were milling around that day dressed in a similar uniform. The boys wore the grey pants, a white shirt with their house tie, a black vest, and robe, while the girls were in a long grey dress with the collars the colour of their house along with a black robe.

"Imagine running around in that all day," murmured Ginny quietly to Hermione and Luna.

Hermione shot Ginny a warning look before walking into the Inn. What a mistake. The Inn was full of men who looked at the three in silence.

"So sorry Sirs," said Hermione with an innocent smile, "But my friends and I are looking for three cousins. Amelia, Anne, and Annette. Can anyone possibly take me towards them?"

"Those three loony witches?" barked the man behind the bar, "What you want with them women?"

"We need to ask them something important," said Hermione her voice tinged with a cold tone, "Sir."

A sneering blonde haired man stood up and walked towards the three slowly.

"I don't know you… any of you… although you," he said sneering at Ginny, "Look a lot like a Weasley."

"My name, sir," bit Ginny, "Is Mary Smith. May I ask of your name?"

"William Malfoy."

"Figures," muttered Hermione looking at Ginny before smiling innocently, "Well you all were wonderful help. Sorry to keep you all from… getting drunk."

The three turned and left the Inn and headed down the street from the Inn.

"William Malfoy?" cried Ginny, "Well obviously the Weasley hate runs back a long way."

"They think Amelia, Anne and Annette are loony," said Luna quietly, "That's horrible."

"Tis because they don't understand them."

The three turned around to see a woman with grey hair and pale blue eyes. She gave the three a soft smile and looked at them with kind eyes.

"Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley and Luna Lovegood," she said with a nod, "I was expecting you three… for a long time."

"Who are you?" asked Ginny frowning.

"Enid Hampton. The remaining original Power of Three. My granddaughter and nieces are the present ones."

Hermione, Ginny, and Luna look at Enid stunned. Here before them was once one of the world's most powerful witches.

"Elizabeth passed away just two months ago and dear Emily died over a year ago."

"Mrs Hampton," said Hermione, "Its such a pleasure to meet you… how did you know about us?"

"Premonition my dear. Thirty years ago I had one where witches from the future would come to get something that is desperately needed in their time," she said with a knowing smile at Hermione, "Perhaps we should go to my house and have a nice cup of tea?"

The three nodded and followed Enid down the street, through an alley way and into another street before they came across a nice little white house. Enid walked up the porch and motioned for the girls to follow her in.

They walked into the simple furnished house and removed their heavy, hot cloaks.

"I suppose you don't dress like that in your time?" asked Enid from the small kitchen as she pulled at the curtains.

"No. We wear pants, skirts… nothing like this," said Ginny.

"Well, sit down my dears. I have been waiting for this day a long time," smiled Enid, "My granddaughter and nieces are out and about at the moment, but I am sure they will be back in time to meet you. Perhaps you should tell me though what exactly you have come for?"

"Information on the Great Evil," said Luna, "The book in the future is missing the four pages on him."

Enid paled and stood up to get some teacups. Hermione, Ginny, and Luna looked at each other in silence each wondering what exactly Enid knew on the missing bit of information.
