Unplanned Bumps In The Past
I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies. I must not tell lies.
Staring down at the scarred words on the back of his hand, Harry watched as Seamus ran downstairs from their shared dorm room. There was a worried look on his face. Sitting in the corner of the common room, he watched as Seamus looked around, scanning for somebody. Finally the shamrock colored eyes landed on Harry, and a relieved look took over his face. Harry watched as Seamus stormed his way towards him then threw a torn parchment piece into his lap. Frowning in confusion, he picked it up and started to choke.
Seamus,
We need to talk! I know you're hiding something from me! Meet me in the ROR during lunch!
-B
"What do you think 'e knows?" Seamus asked, a worried look taking over his features. Sweat was beginning to dampen his forehead already.
Shaking his head, Harry shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know Seamus. Sorry mate."
"I knew something was wrong," the Irish voice came out in a panicked squeak. "Ever since that day that Malfoy ran into Tonya in the alleyway, Blaise 'as been acting kind of off."
"Off how?" Harry questioned.
"I don't know, 'Arry," Seamus shook his head. "It's 'ard to explain it, eh… but 'e's just been off. It's like 'im and Malfoy knows something."
"It's only been two days," Harry rolled his eyes, "I'm sure that it can't be that bad."
"'E wrote me this letter didn't 'e?" Seamus argued back, his voice low and squeaky. "Do you think 'e knows that we know about Tonya?"
"They don't even know about Tonya," Harry reminded him. "Just relax Seamus, I'm sure that nothing's wrong. You two haven't really been alone lately, and he's probably just as paranoid as you."
Folding up the letter, Seamus placed it in his pocket, but he didn't look reassured by Harry's words, "I don't know 'Arry," he said, "I don't feel good about this whole thing. What about you?"
"I feel fine," he promised him. And in the truth of it he did feel fine. He didn't feel as if anything bad was about to happen. "I'm telling you, you're worried for nothing."
Taking in a deep breath, Seamus seemed to accept it for now. "When are you supposed to be leaving to meet up with the Order?" he asked suddenly. "I mean, if me and Blaise are gonna be the room then you can't get into it."
"Tonya told me not to," Harry shook his head. "Remus brought me the letter last night. Because they still have my cloak, he used it while we were sleeping to drop it off. Tonya feels that Tonks was right, and that the longer we keep disappearing the more suspicious we are. She wants our weekends to be used showing our faces around the school grounds."
"Is she coming with Tonks and Remus tonight then?"
Nodding his head, Harry looked around to make sure that no one was listening in on their conversation. "Bill's coming as well."
"Oh," Seamus nodded his head to show that he understood. Tonight was when they would go on the hunt with Dumbledore for the ring.
"You cannot be serious."
Pink painted nails were tapping against the jean covered hips, while pink painted toes tapped against the wooden floor as well. "I am dead serious!"
"I'm not doing that."
Soft blue met icy grey and a snarl vibrated from her throat. "Yes you are!"
"No," hair flew into his eyes while his head shook back and forth. "I'm not."
"Blaise is your best friend."
"And Seamus is yours."
"Tonight is Ginny's bachelorette party, and you know that I'm the one who's planning it."
"I absolutely refuse to do it!"
The toes stopped moving. The fingers stopped as well. He took a quick step back when he saw all the movements suddenly stop. "How dare you take that tone with me, Draco Lucius Malfoy!"
"Don't you speak my full name, Tonya Anne Malfoy!"
"Exactly," hissed a too calm voice. "Malfoy; as in I am your wife, and you will do this."
"I will not!"
Pointing a perfectly shaped finger at him, she wagged the pink nail in his direction, "You will do this Draco Malfoy, or you will be sleeping in the yard tonight."
"Don't you mean the couch?"
"No," she hissed, "I mean the bloody yard."
"We live in a flat," he rolled his eyes. "We don't have a yard."
"But we have a street," she hissed again. "And I will call your mother. You will not be allowed to sleep at the Manor tonight."
Wincing as he thought about the power his wife had, he folded his arms over his chest, "Why do I have to do this?"
"Because you promised Blaise that you would."
Whining, Draco stomped his foot like a child, "That was before he told me that I had to be Seamus's date to that muggle ball thing."
"Blaise is sick and unable to move right now, so he can't do it. And you're the only one that he trusts enough to not steal Seamus from him. Now suck it up and be a best friend."
"Why can't Seamus go by himself?"
Throwing her hands up in frustration, she released an aggravated scream. "Because it is a fucking ball, Draco, you never go alone to a ball. And he already told everyone that he would be there with his boyfriend."
"But I'm not his boyfriend," he continued to argue with her. "It isn't my fault that his boyfriend had to become sick and not be able to go. And don't you start swearing at me, Tonya."
Narrowing her eyes in a glare that reminded Draco of his aunt Bella, Tonya took a step towards him. "Fine then Draco, don't go."
"Really?" he meant to sound relieved, but a frightened squeak came out instead.
Tonya stomped past him, heading into the bedroom. Draco waited a minute before releasing his breath. Once he did though, he heard the slamming sounds. Running into their bedroom, he saw all of his things being slammed into a spelled bag. "When I get out of the shower, I want you out of here. You can take all your shit, and you can get the fuck out."
Running over to the bed, Draco felt his eyes warming up already. "Tonya, love, stop."
"No," she shouted at him. "You promised Blaise that you would do this for him. But because you are so against gay people, you won't keep that promise. How do I know you won't break all your other promises? Do promises mean nothing to you anymore? I want you out of here!"
"I do not hate gay people," he rolled his eyes. "My best mate is gay, remember."
"Yet you won't go to a ball with his boyfriend," pulling her arm out of Draco's grasp, she flew the bag filled with all of his clothes out of the room. "Now get out!"
"Love-"
"Get out!" she shrieked, before pushing him out of the room and slamming the door in his face.
"Sorry I'm late, love," Blaise said, running into the room. Grinning, he saw that it was set up in a Slytherin setting today. In the middle of the room was a long emerald colored couch, with the love his life sitting in the center of it. "Draco had a nightmare, and I couldn't wake him up."
Seamus frowned, "Is 'e alright?"
"Something about a bird named Tonya," he noticed Seamus flinch at the mention of the name, and he raised an eyebrow at the reaction. Walking over to the couch, he sat down. "Everything alright, Seamus?"
Realizing that he must have given away the fact that he recognized the name, Seamus quickly nodded his head. "What 'appened?"
Blaise shook his head. "He wouldn't tell me. I was about to leave the room when I heard him shouting for her to not leave him. I ran over to the bed, and it took me and Nott both to wake him up."
"Theodore Nott?"
"Are there any other Nott's in Slytherin?" seeing the worried look taking over Seamus's face, Blaise turned his entire body around, "What's wrong?"
"Stay away from Nott," Seamus suddenly told him. Pulling away from Blaise, Seamus turned his entire body to face him as well. "Please, love, just promise me that you'll stay away from 'im," he saw the confusion in Blaise's face and said, "And also, can you place a spell around Malfoy's bed, so that only you can 'ear when 'e 'as another nightmare?"
"What?"
"So nobody else 'as to 'ear 'im 'aving a nightmare."
Blaise watched him, silently. Creases were beginning to take over Seamus's eyes, while his face was looking paler than usual. His red long sleeved shirt was wrinkled, and it looked he was wearing old jeans. He was hiding something, and whatever it was it was stressing him out. Seamus watched Blaise watch him. His eyebrow was arched in the way it usually came only when he was suspicious of something. His white oxford shirt was wrinkled instead of in its normally ironed state, and his black slacks looked as if it had just been thrown on. He wasn't even wearing a tie. It may have been the weekend, but Blaise Zabini never went without a tie. Something was wrong with him.
"Who's Tonya?" Blaise asked suddenly.
Fidgeting with his shirt, Seamus tried to avoid looking into his eyes, "I-I don't know."
"You're lying to me."
"Of course not."
Blaise watched the scene in front of him. Seamus was refusing to look him in his eyes, and he was nervously fidgeting. "Seamus, are you cheating on me?"
The fidgeting stopped. Seamus's head snapped up. His face was unreadable. "What?"
"You're always reminding me of how much you love me, making you look guilty of something," Blaise pointed out. His heart dropped when he saw the heated flush take over Seamus's face. "You're always whispering now, and you try to avoid me as much as you can. You're hiding something, and I know it. So tell me, are you cheating on me?"
Chuckling, Seamus realized what Blaise wanted to talk to him about today. Tonya just so happened to be a coincidence in this meeting. He saw the hurt flash in Blaise's eyes when he started to chuckle. Reaching out, he took the darkened hand into his own light hand and pressed the darkened knuckles to his pale lips. "I love you more than anything else in this world, Blaise Zabini!" he assured him. "I don't want to 'ear you thinking about those kinds of things ever again. You mean more to me than me own life. I would never cheat on you. I love you too much to even think of such a thing."
"But you're so secretive lately."
Seamus sighed. "I 'ave been," he nodded his head in agreement, "And I want to tell you. Trust me, love, I do, but I can't."
"Does it have to do with Tonya?"
Seamus's head snapped once more. "What do you know of 'er?"
Tonya was rubbing her face with both of her hands. Minus the ones in school, all of the Order was back in the headquarters once again; including Dumbledore. Sitting at the center of the table, she had an open notebook in front of her with her legs crossed on the chair. Her head was killing her, and she was feeling a bit nauseous. Molly and McGonagall were watching her suspiciously, but she ignored it. She knew what they were suspecting and to be honest, she was suspecting it as well but she didn't want to say anything about it. Then for sure they wouldn't allow her on any of the missions. Harry would most likely force Kreacher to send her back to her own time, and she would never be able to keep Draco alive from there.
"Everything is going perfectly well according to the plan then," Kingsley loudly announced. "Harry is doing better at Occlumency, and according to Lucius, Voldemort suspects nothing out of the ordinary."
Snape nodded his head, "Lucius is doing a splendid job at being his old self. All these weeks that I've been close to him, I never suspected anything suspicious about him."
"So why did he take Malfoy out of school?" Tonks asked, turning to Tonya.
"He said that it was more selfish than anything else," Charlie answered when he noticed Tonya was too busy drawing something in her notebook. "He said that it's been two weeks since he's seen his son alive, and he wanted to see him again. Right before he came here he saw his son dead, and he wanted to see him alive once more."
Nodding his head, Dumbledore also watched the silent girl, "When he came to my office with the request, I found something was quite odd about him. He seemed a little shocked when he first saw me, and when Draco arrived in the office he looked as if he became overwhelmed with joy. I didn't suspect anything, however."
"Are you alright, dear?" Molly asked suddenly.
Looking up from her doodle, Tonya nodded her head. "I'm just thinking. It's been three weeks since I've been here, and two weeks since Lucius has been here. I'm wondering how much we changed so far."
"I'm assuming it would be a lot," Arthur sighed.
Mad Eye nodded his head in agreement, "But it's all good change, girl. You're changing things for the better, and although I hate to admit it… Lucius is a good ally to have on our side. Now we have two Death Eaters on the inside, and we have you as well."
"I guess."
They all listened to her sigh then watched as she dropped her head and began to draw again. "Tonya," Snape called to her.
Lifting her head once more she saw him cock an eyebrow, and she silently cursed to herself. He was reading her mind. "That isn't fair, Snape."
"You cannot keep these sorts of things from us," he hissed at her. "You foolish, foolish little girl."
"What is it?" Sirius suddenly asked, wondering what the girl could have been hiding from them. So far it seemed like she only told them everything.
Mad Eye watched the silent war between the potions professor and the silent girl. Realizing he also had the ability to look into her mind, he pressed inside. He released a low growl. "We need to get her to Poppy!"
"Dammit!" standing up, Tonya glared at Mad Eye, "I am not here for your pleasure. You can't all just dive into my mind any time you feel like it. I'm not some sideshow freak. When you all decide to grow the hell up, I'll be in my room."
Standing up as well, Molly sighed, "Tonya, sit back down."
Fighting with the urge to leave them all behind, but not wanting to disrespect one of the women she loved as her own mom, Tonya sighed. Flopping back onto the chair, she ignored all the curious gazes. Snape whispered something to Dumbledore who then stood up. "I'll return back to Hogwarts now. Tonya," she looked up at him and saw a twinkle shining at her from his bright blue orbs, "Poppy will be waiting for you in my office when you arrive with Bill."
"I don't think it's safe for her to go on any more missions, Albus," everyone gasped when Snape spoke up.
Arthur and Remus were both watching Tonya with suspicious looks now, but everyone else still remained confused. "She will be fine Severus," Dumbledore shook his head, "Poppy will verify it for us, and we'll decide from then on."
Returning with a hot cup of tea, Molly set it down in front of the annoyed girl. "I have to agree with Albus," she announced, "Tonya will be fine for now. Tonya, dear – do you know how-"
"Four weeks," Tonya nodded her head, interrupting Molly's question, and causing the entire room to break into gasps. They finally understood what everyone was talking about. "If anything I would be four weeks."
They were both lying down on the bed with Teddy curled up between them. With his hair pale blonde like Draco's, he was shirtless and lightly snoring. She giggled when she heard him snoring, and gently teased Draco, saying that he got it from him. Rolling his eyes, Draco allowed one of his hands to softly caress the toddler's face. Her hand reached over Teddy, and rested on Draco's thigh. They were both smiling at each other then they would look back down at the sleeping boy.
"Tonks was my cousin, you know," Draco said suddenly, "Aunt Andromeda is Mother's sister."
"I know, love," she smiled, "Narcissa was telling me. And so was Andromeda."
"Sometimes I wonder how Tonks would react to me watching her son. When she was alive, we never really got along. I treated her like a filthy half-breed and then as we grew older we both fought on different sides of the war," he painfully admitted.
"She would love the new you," Tonya smiled, taking his hand in hers. "And she would see how much Teddy loves being with his uncle Draco. You're great with him, Draco."
Staring into her eyes, Draco saw the honesty in them. It caused him to blush, "What do you think?" he asked her, "About one day having our own kids?"
"How long did you suspect this?" Charlie asked her.
"About a week now," Tonya sheepishly admitted.
Bill growled. "If you thought you were pregnant for a week, why didn't you say anything to us?"
"Because it won't last long," she quietly answered.
It was Remus who turned to the young girl he's come to love like a daughter. "What do you mean it won't last long?"
Unable to control the tears that were now falling from her eyes, Tonya sniffled as she looked up at him. She could see the concern in his eyes, and she wiped her eyes with the back of her hands. "Once we change the future Draco won't know who I am, and we'll never meet. I'll never end up pregnant."
"We need to return back to Hogwarts," McGonagall suddenly announced. It was Charlie who caught the head nods between her Snape, Remus, and Tonks. The four of them all seemed to understand something that no one else could.
"We'll see you tonight," Snape nodded his head, and stood up as well.
Continuing to wipe her tears, Tonya looked up at them. "This doesn't change anything guys. We still need to save Draco, and the rest of you. The plan stays the same."
"But Tonya," it was Kingsley who was reaching across for her hand now, "If you leave things the way they are, you'll still have a piece of Draco with you. You'll have his child."
"You guys already know too much," she shook her head. "Too much of you die."
"But Tonya-"
Interrupting Molly, she shook her head and stood back up. "Let's just drop this. This is why I didn't say anything to any of you. Just forget about this."
The two professors and the future married couple all stood in front of the floo. Quietly nodding their heads, they all had their own silent meeting. "When she returns back to the future, not only will she remember her husband but she'll remember being pregnant for four months," Tonks said.
Snape nodded his head, "And she's too stubborn. I saw it inside of her head. She's willing to become depressed just as long as she knows that Draco is alive in the future."
"The memories alone will kill her once she returns back to her own time," Remus shook his head.
Sighing, McGonagall shook her own head, "I never thought I would say this, but Mr. Weasley was right. Mr. Malfoy needs to find out about Tonya before the battle."
A/N: Since I can't not write I decided on a new thing. I have really bad insomnia. Like I can't sleep at night, so I'm literally up all the way until 7 in the morning. Then I sleep until 12 in the afternoon and stay up all the way until 7 in the morning again. In the hours that I'm wide awake I'm usually hooked on tumblr or writing, so this is what I'm doing now… in all the nightly hours that I am wide awake, I am going to just write as much chapters as I can. Each night I'm going to work on just one story then upload a new chapter. Hopefully this works out for me because it's keeping my mind extremely occupied.
I hope you guys liked this chapter. Please review it! Let me know what you guys think of the sudden twist(: and what about the professors now plotting against Tonya's wishes? Next chapter gets more interesting, and they begin the Horcrux hunt(:
