Remember Neville is in Alice's body and Luna is in Franks.

The next couple of days went by slowly and painfully, for Alice, when she wasn't asleep or talking to Frank, she was in the bathroom, puking blood.

Frank never left her side for more than a couple of minutes. He left when he had to go to the bathroom or to make food for Alice and himself.

It started when Alice woke, with her stomach churning, she ran to the bathroom; she was sick again but Frank was there to support her. When she was done it seemed all her strength left her, she had lost a major amount of blood and she needed it for herself as well as Neville.

... Or Neville needed it for himself and Neville, she was so woozy that she found this funny and started laughing. Frank held her and calmed her, "Alice you are going to be fine but you need rest, I am going to pick you up and carry you to bed is that OK?"

Alice giggled and nodded. Luna marveled at how easy it was for her to pick up Alice, but Frank was a powerful man, now she knew where Neville got it. "Thank you Frank" Luna placed her in bed, and she immediately fell asleep. He figured he had a couple of hours maybe he should go see Professor Dumbledore.

While Luna got ready he realized that he thought of Neville as Alice and wondered how much of that was Frank coming through, Luna wondered if Neville was having the same issue. More and more it seemed that memories of the bodies they were now inhabiting were coming back to them. The way they had found Moody's office was the first time Luna realised this was happening, but they bodies were allowing them to control everything but giving help where needed. Luna began to cry at the thought that she almost lost Neville.

For the next week Frank hovered over Alice, he would not let anything happen to her again. It was good that she was flying a desk now until she gave birth to Neville

... or Neville gave birth to Neville This was all so confusing. Alice tried to send Frank out, but he would not leave and for both the next week dragged. Alice got her strength back and was soon up and around and then it was time to go back to the medi-witch.

"I hope they put me back to full duty, I am tired of laying around".

"Ali...Neville you are on desk duty ordered by Moody, even in all the pain he is in he said that you were to be on a desk. He was hit by a dark curse, and it isn't healing right, and they couldn't save his eye. Dumbledore made that magic eye for him, but he can't use it till he heals."

"Yeah, so who ever is in charge now may let me out in the field."

"Alice you can't go go around risking your life when you are pregnant with ... a child."

"Luna, you know me I used to be a wallflower, then I killed Nagini, I helped defeat the worst dark wizard of our time. We did it and together with Harry and our friends, we could save Harry's parents, we could save my parents, us, from insanity. You know we may be the ones in those beds in the future, if we don't figure a way back."

"Neville, we can't move to change what has happened, that would probably tear the time stream apart. We can't afford to do that we must work at getting back to our time and then we will be safe, but we shouldn't try and change what has happened."

The medi-witch called them in after a long wait, Luna said, "You know muggles complain about doctors making them wait, I guess it is just a human thing not just Muggle." Alice had to chuckle.

"Please Mrs. Longbottom, please sit on the bed, Mr. Longbottom you can sit there," the medi-witch said shortly. "We are very busy today so let's get this over with."

The medi-witch cast a few spells scowled and walked out of the room and returned with the medi-witch who had originally taken care of Neville. The second medi-witch cast several spells and frowned. "Mrs. Longbottom have you noticed any problems with cramps or anything in the last week?"

"Yes, why?"

"I am sorry, it seems you have lost the child you were carrying. We will leave you a few minutes to gather your thoughts, but we need this room so please don't be long."

Frank held Alice as they cried. The medi-witch cleared her throat to hurry them along. Luna helped Neville up and they walked out of the room and headed out. Luna spoke first, "Maybe we need to go see Dumbledore?"

"Yeah, but lets take the express I could use some good memories." They went into the Muggle world and caught a cab to kings cross and were just in time to catch the express to Hogsmeade. The train ran one way each day, and they were lucky today was a day headed to Hogsmeade.

The got a berth at the back of the train just as they used to when heading to and from school. Luna just watched the man she loved in the form of his mother with concern.

"Luna, you know what this means, I have been removed from the timeline, I can't go back to the future. What am I to do now? I must make sure you can make it back and remember me. We need to stop Voldemort here, I won't be there to help Harry and thinking of it I helped him quite a lot. If not for me he wouldn't have won the Triwizard tournament and I destroyed the last Horcrux."

They discussed all of the issues over the hours of the trip and finally arrived at the end of the line just after sundown. "Ain't that ayr Frank and Alice?" The form of a walking mountain blotted out the full moon.

"Hagrid, yeah we are just headed up to the school."

"I will take ya up there; I have a carriage. It ain't safe for ya to be walking up that close to the forest right now been having trouble with some werewolves."

They all got into the carriage and rode up to the school, by the time they made the castle they were all laughing at tails of the marauders. Just as they reached the gates James and Lily appeared with a pop at the side of the road. Lily promptly vomited on the side of the road. James held her long red hair as she finished. Hagrid stopped and helped them into the carriage.

Hagrid dropped them off at the huge front doors, and Frank and Alice helped James get Lily up to Poppie. Poppie quickly got Lily into a gown and into bed, then told the three healthy people to wait in her office. After over a half hour Poppie called James over he burst out laughing, then yelled, "I am going to be a father!" He rushed over and hugged both Alice and Frank. "We are going to all be parents close to the same time." Alice broke into tears, Neville just couldn't seem to hold it back.

Poppie came over and asked what was going on. Frank spoke up, "We just came from St. Mungo's and we lost our child. They said it appeared that it was miscarried."

Poppie lead Alice over to the bed next to Lily, pulled the curtain and changed Alice into the gown. She started doing diagnostic checks and looked puzzled and began to do more tests.

Professor Dumbledore walked in about then. "Hagrid told me you were here I was hoping that you were here to see me Frank."

"I am Professor."

"You know to call me Albus. James, come with Frank and me into Poppie's office." When they reached the office Albus sat in a nice padded chair and Frank and James checked the other two for traps. "I see Alister is rubbing off on you."

"No, we are just trained well as he is always setting traps." As James replied with a grin.

"He will keep you alive. I need to talk to you two, I know the ministry is doing what it can, but I believe a, how should I put it, an outside group might be able to make a difference in the war with Voldemort. Your generation has the most to lose, so I am asking you to join such a group."

There was a knock at the door, and a serious looking Poppie stuck her head in, "If you are done with my office Albus I would like to talk to Frank. You and James should stay in here as this is personal and between myself, Frank and Alice. I also need to speak to you and Lily, James but let me deal with Frank and Alice."

"Of course Poppie. You two can let me know what your answer is but you should talk to your spouses, I would like them to join as well, but I ask you to keep what we have spoken about between yourselves and your wives." With that Dumbledore left and Frank went to talk to Poppie.

"Harry, we have tracked Voldemort to Riddle manor." said an excited Remus.

"There is not much we can do yet, we have to catch him doing something, I will try and get some men sent to watch it. We are already thin watching Luna and Neville here."

"Could they be moved somewhere safer?"

"No, I have tried. The healers want them here, I even offered to pay and so did Neville's grandmother, but we were told that the healers are too busy. I am going to ask Poppie if she will take them on, but I need to get over there. The Death Eaters seem to be reforming, not sure if the new Tom has anything to do with it or not. Harry looked at Neville and Luna laying on the beds, "Come on Remus lets get something to eat."

A/N: OK, I know I said I wouldn't be doing any more with Harry, but a flashback to show that Neville is still in the future, though has the timeline split? A cliffhanger for Neville, I hate to say I like doing that, but normally I don't take as long to write a chapter for a story as I have been this one. I have increased my writing time but also now I have a beta, and that takes time as well, but I am churning them out quicker so I hope you will keep reading. I have chapter 10 almost done should be to Aleeta6 in a couple of days and sometime after that I will post it. Thanks for reading.

Thanks to Aleeta6 for beta reading for me and improving this story.

Beta note: dun dun dun! What happens next?! You'll have to read the next chapter! :D (* epic voice in the background* if you dare...) Ohi, and don't forget to REVIEW!
