Chapter 11: Saving The Future
I remained silent as Dumbledore sat thinking for a moment, before speaking again.
'The letter from my future self informed me that you'd be receiving information about Voldemort.' I nodded. I received an extensive letter, explaining about the horcruxes and how Voldemort had made a few: Dumbledore was sending Harry and Ron out to destroy them. I figured –as I read the letter– that if I destroyed the horcruxes before Voldemort reached the Potters: then I could save them. I explained about the horcruxes to Dumbledore, saying that we knew that Tom Riddle's diary was one and that the Malfoy family is its caretakers.
'... but your future self didn't seem to know the identity of any of the other horcruxes. He suggested there's a ring, which belonged to Tom Riddle's family that potentially could be one. There was also no information about how to actually destroy them. Mostly, the letter included information about the deaths that happened during Voldemort's first rise; and a list of Death Eaters, which is much more extensive than I could have ever come up with.' I pulled the letter from my school robes, handing it to Dumbledore and saying that he should read it. He accepted the letter, placing it to one side as if to suggested he'd read it later. 'Otherwise, Harry and Ron sent me a few of my belongings, which they know I am particularly fond off... and a potions recipe for Wolfsbane Potion.' Dumbledore didn't speak until I mentioned the Wolfsbane Potion.
'Wolfsbane Potion?' I nodded.
'It's for Mr. Lupin... it's a potion that will enable him to keep his mind during his lunar transformations. It won't be invented for a few years, but I assume his future self wanted me to get it to his younger self sooner.' Dumbledore raised his eyebrows.
'You knew Mr. Lupin in the future?' I nodded.
'Yes. He taught me Defense Against The Dark Arts in 1993. He's a good man.' Dumbledore smiled.
'Yes, I agree, my dear... he certainly has determination and so much bravery. We'll speak to Professor Slughorn about this potion, as I imagine it is quite difficult to brew.' I just nodded: Dumbledore continued smiling. 'Well... I think that's enough for tonight. I shall begin researching into these horcruxes, with the aim to obtain and destroy them. I believe we can probably take Mr. Riddle down before the evening when he finds the Potter family. I will also inform the wizards and witches on this death list, as I believe we can save most, if not all of them. In the meantime, Miss. Granger, you enjoy your time here at Hogwarts, from what I've heard you've had an eventful childhood. I shall see you tomorrow at the Quidditch match, I trust.' I nodded. I was excited about the Gryffindor verses Slytherin match, and Sirius had begged me to come and watch.
I rose from my chair as Dumbledore spoke. 'Splendid. Goodnight Miss. Granger.' I wished the headmaster a good night, before leaving the office. I now have a plan: find these horcruxes, destroy them, and then destroy Voldemort... all before he kills James and Lily.
