A/N Okay, in order to agonize you some more...Vic's symptoms will show up in this chapter, and then Teddy's. Although, there's are not nearly as bad as Alan's. And dear dear Jason...is completely normal.

Chapter 10- Victoire and the Daily Prophet

It had been a day since Teddy had awoken to some of the worst news of his life. Teddy was tired of doing nothing, but the three of them were confined to the Hospital Wing. Hogwarts was being repaired and McGonagoll said that it would be dreadful if anyone found out of their existance.

Teddy was pacing around the room, at least his metamorphmagus abilities had returned, although they were slightly sluggish like they didn't want to work.

Alan was confined to his bed, and spent a lot of his time either drugged or asleep. Oddly, the only perople he would talk to was Jason, and Madame Pomfrey.

Anytime Victoire or Teddy attemtped to near him, he immediately lost his ability to do anything except growl, hiss, or attempt to bite the two.

Victoire was holed up on her bed, sifting through old copies of the Daily Prophet looking for anything about Time Ripper's.

Remus and Tonks had both left to spend time with little Teddy, and McGonagoll was in her office, also looking for information on Time Ripper's.

Vic jumped up," Look!"

Teddy rushed over to read the section Victoire had pointed out.

"Victoire? There's nothing on here."

Vic flashed a dazzling smile," Yes there is, right there...Bill Weasley was born November 20, 1970. This is his birth thingy."

Teddy couldn't help but be nice to her," Yes and that's great, but we need information on Time Ripper's."

Victoire pouted slightly," I wish we could just go home."

"So do I." Teddy agreed.

Victoire wrapped her arms around Teddy, and began to sob on his shoulder.

Teddy looked extremely puzzled, as did Jason, and Alan. Vic never did that.

Teddy stared down at Vic's shining blonde hair..."Vic?"

Victoire sat up, her deep, blue eyes were glistening with tears, but she looked so...beautiful.

Wait, since when have I ever thought that? Teddy questioned himself.

It was then that Madame Pomfrey, McGonagoll, and Reums and Tonks entered the Hospital Wing.

"What is going on here?" McGonagoll asked, for the adults had entered to see eleven-year-old Victoire, and Teddy snogging.

Teddy managed to pull away, to look at the shocked expression's of the adults.

"It's not what you think!"

McGonagoll sighed," I think we have discovered Miss Weasley's symptoms."

Madame Pomfrey frowned," Symptoms, my arse. I wish I had her 'symptoms.' "

Victoire looked confused," What symptoms?"

"Well it appears to me," Tonks paused," that you are gaining Veela traits."

Victoire jumped to her feet," But--I'm only one-eight Veela!"

Teddy started at the floor in a daze," Alan was only a half-vampire."

"What are you trying to say?" Victoire demanded.

McGonagoll showed them all a report from former headmistress, Dilys Derwent( 1722-1741.)

It read:

This report is being written March 7, 1734 by Headmistress Derwent of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

My fellow Headmaster/mistresses, I am writing this to inform you of a dangerous item that has caused two of my best students much harm. The magical object in question is the alluring Time-Ripper. The Time-Ripper is a bigger version, that allows you to travel much further back in time than it's ancestor, the Time-Turner. As many people know, the Time-Ripper may only be used by three to four people under age fifteen. In order to change an awful happening in 1721, we sent four of my best fourth year students. Only two returned to us with an un-altered condition. Another of our students never returned at all, and according to his fellow time travelers...he died. The last student, a muggle-born witch, slowly lost the ability to perform magic and became a muggle. I have determined this to be because, the Time-Ripper was invented by a pure-blood wizard...under the order of Salazar Slytherin. It seems it also has another rule that we have missed-it can only be used by pure-blood wizards. If a student has any non-pure ancestors as far back as four generations they will slowly become that which their ancestor was. I will also write another,

The letter stopped there. Now they knew what was happening, and why...but the question was...how do they stop it?
