Chapter Twelve: The Time of Lynette, Molly and Willow

Luna and Draco arrived in the kitchen, surprised to see three glum, young ladies sitting at the counter slurping hot chocolates. Luna, who was damp from sweat, looked out the kitchen windows spotting Hermione, Ginny and Lavender out in the cold talking quietly.

"Draco," said Luna gesturing out the window.

Draco and Luna hurried out the back with Hermione hugging Draco as soon as he reached her.

"What's happened?" asked Luna looking at the three in turn.

"The Great Evil has his soul back. Bronwyn overheard Gin and Harry having a disagreement and well… basically she told the other two, they saw Rosemerta, heard what they wanted came here-" started Lavender before Ginny cut in.

"The Seer was here. He used our lives to make Torrance summon the soul to him."

"How did you three know they were here?" asked Draco.

"I heard Torrance's plea for help in my mind… like a mental connection," said Hermione looking confused, "Ever heard of that?"

Draco frowned and shook his head, "Might be a mother – daughter thing. Plus she is a powerful witch."

"Moving on," said Ginny pointedly, "He has his soul back and we have a few big issues at hand. He wants Lavender and I doubt that has changed over the years. Another thing is he wants our daughter's powers. We need to protect four people."

"Not me," said Lavender, "We focus on those three girls first. I doubt I'll be the first thing on his mind."

"Look," said Draco, "This hasn't been told to the Heads. For some reason the news hasn't got to them ye-"

"It has now," said Lily appearing beside Ginny, "The Seer was using more then one form of magic when he took the soul. He placed a block around the house upon his arrival. It prevented us from knowing anything odd was happening inside."

"What are you planning?"

"It is too risky to take the girls with us and Lavender as well. The Man of Two Faces can come into our realm if he chooses to. Therefore we will need all to live in this house."

"It isn't big enough to hold three extra families," said Hermione.

"Then make do. Protection is the most important thing at the moment. There is no saying when the Great Evil will attack or send other creatures to keep you four women busy whilst he moves in on Bronwyn, Savannah and Torrance."

"Isn't there some spell we can do to protect them?" asked Ginny.

"Look in the book," suggested Lily, "It would be best to move in as soon as possible. The Unknowns and I will be organising as many defences as possible but there is no saying they will work. The war could begin any day now."

"I'm going to start researching protection spells," said Hermione heading inside, "Draco, can you head home and get some clothing?"

"I should tell Harry… the boys birthday! I completely forgot," cried Ginny, "Harry will kill me."

"Not when he understands," said Lily, "I'll come with you."

Ginny smiled gratefully, taking Lily's hand.

"Will Bronwyn be okay?" asked Ginny with a look to Luna.

"I'll watch over the three of them," nodded Luna before Ginny vanished with Lily.

"I need to get to Oliver and Tamika. I shouldn't be long," said Lavender with a tight smile.

With a glance at Luna then her daughter inside, Lavender left. Luna headed inside to the kitchen where the girls were sitting silently, having finished their drinks.

"What's happening?" asked Torrance, "To us three?"

"I'll let your parents explain."

"Mum walked past without a word."

"Give her a few moments. Are you girls starving?" said Luna trying to look at ease and calm for their sake.

"A little," admitted Savannah.

"Starving like crazy," added Bronwyn.

"A true Weasley," chuckled Luna, "Your Uncle Ron is the same. He gets grumpy when he misses a meal."

Bronwyn smiled, "You and him were dating weren't you?"

"A long time ago."

"Before you died – ouch!" cried Bronwyn rubbing her shin where Torrance had kicked her.

"Yes," nodded Luna ignoring the dirty looks between the two girls, "Before I died."

"Was it scary?" asked Savannah, shifting her legs away from Torrance's aim, "Dying?"

Luna lowered the jar of jam she had grabbed to make some sandwiches. She sat on the spare stool; "It wasn't easy, even though I knew it had to happen. I was leaving behind my father and someone I loved dearly. But if I didn't a lot more people would have died. Luckily I got a second chance at life."

"But you didn't come to Uncle Ron," said Bronwyn softly with a swift look at Torrance.

"I wasn't allowed to, though I never, ever stopped loving or missing him," said Luna honestly before realising what she had said to three young, smart girls, "Enough depressing talk. How about some help with this simple, yet delicious meal?"

"About time!" cried Harry walking into the lounge room where Ginny and Lily had arrived, "Mum."

"Harry," she said with a smile, "Let's sit down."

"No, wait. Where are the kids?" asked Ginny curiously.

"Jake and Steven are in the rumpus room and Bron is doing homework."

"No she isn't."

"Yes she is," said Harry pointedly, "She told me she was about… about four hours ago."

"We both know Bron has a short attention span when it comes to that sort of work. She is at the other house, the Charmed house," said Ginny calmly before her and Lily explained everything to Harry in full detail.

As they spoke Harry went pale and had to sit down in case his knees gave way, "I-I thought this wouldn't happen… that somehow nothing would try to harm my daughter."

"We both knew there was a big chance, Harry," said Ginny.

"If you had just walked away from it all those years ago-" started Harry.

"Harry, you know walking away stopped being an option a long time ago," said his mother firmly, "Just like you wouldn't walk away from battling Voldemort."

"That was different."

"How so?"

"Well for starters he murdered you, Dad, had a hand in leading Sirius to his death."

"And this Great Evil hasn't murdered innocents?" cried Ginny, "He had a hand in murdering Umbridge's daughter, he had a hand in killing Luna – even if she did go willingly – and he forced her to become a Spitster! Oh yeah and he wants Lavender for himself! Even if I did walk away from it there is no saying Bronwyn-Lily wouldn't of inherited the Power of Three! This is my life Harry. You knew what you were getting into when you married me."

Harry ran a hand through his hair in frustration, "Can you stop him?"

"There is a way to kill him and with Luna part of the Power for now, I dare say we stand a good chance against him."

"What?" asked Harry looking confused again.

"Another long story," sighed Ginny, "For now we need to pack what we need and move to the other house. Poor Jake and Steven."

"We'll celebrate at the other house," said Harry standing up looking much calmer.

Lily chose that moment to leave as the husband and wife embraced in a loving hug.

CO

Oliver looked at Lavender horrified as she finished explaining all that had happened.

"I honestly thought she was reading," said Oliver looking extremely guilty, "If I'd checked on her… gosh I'm an idiot."

"I don't blame you Oliver," said Lavender taking hold of his hand tightly, "She is safe now. But we need to pack things and go back to the house. It is the safest place for us all at the moment."

"For you and Savannah mainly."

"Savannah is more important," said Lavender standing up and smoothing the front of her clothes, "I can protect myself. If anything he'll be more interested in getting her powers then me."

"You don't know that for certain."

"I can hope it's the case, Oliver," said Lavender looking away from him; "I really don't want to think of it in any other way."

"Mummy," said Tamika walking into theliving room, "Are you okay?"

Lavender knelt down to hug her daughter, "I'm fine sweetie. Now, we need to go stay at another house for a little while. Will you be okay with that?"

"Will I still go to Miss Chang's Day Care?"

"Yes, just like normal. We're just staying at a new place until myself, Aunty Ginny, Aunty Hermione and Luna work out some… work stuff."

Tamika nodded then cocked her head to the side in confusion, "Who is Luna?"

"A friend. You will get to meet her. Now, lets go pack some things and get to the other house."

Hermione gave a sigh as she turned another page. So far she had found nothing on protecting her daughter, Bronwyn and Savannah. She rubbed her forehead in frustration, jumping a little at the attic door opened.

"Mum," said Hermione surprised to see her mother, followed by Molly, "Mrs Weasley."

"How many times must I tell you to call me Molly, Hermione?" said Molly with a chuckle, "Draco told Lynette what was happening and Lyn came and told me."

"I never considered the girls finding out about this place," said Hermione, "Even with the forewarnings given."

"Things happen for a reason," said Lynette standing beside Hermione and rubbing her shoulder.

"Then what reason can there be for this happening?"

"That it is time for the war to take place once and for all," said Molly as Ginny entered the attic with Lavender and Luna, "Now is the time for white magic to show its power against black magic."

"But why force three young girls to be involved?" said Ginny, "They are innocent in all of this."

"You three are known as the Charmed Ones, they are the Phenomenal Three. The rarest form of magic," said Lynette flipping through the book hurriedly, "A power like theirs is born once in every hundred years – starting with the original three," Lynette stopped on a page and gestured to Hermione. Sure enough the title read "The Phenomenal Power".

"Every one hundred years a Power of Three generation descends into their power early. From a young age they appear gifted magically, with no one knowing that their power is merely growing. When they become of age the power they inherit can be uncontrollable before full training takes place. This magic is extremely rare and the original Power of Three are the only well known witches to obtain it.

"Evil from all walks of life will stop at nothing to have the combined magic for themselves. It is, however, impossible for one person to contain such magic. The power will turn against them and mutate them into something less then human. In easy terms the white magic becomes black in the darkest of ways."

Hermione ran her hand over the page once she finished and looked up at Ginny, Lavender and Luna. Molly was seated on the old red lounge while Lynette stood by the window to Hermione's right.

"But what about the girls? Can the magic mutate in them?"

"If they are corrupted," said Molly, "The Great Evil isn't stupid. He will do his own research on the magic. Once he finds out what the magic will do to him, he will want the girls for himself."

"But we've been told by the Unknowns that he will kill our daughters," said Lavender, "Are they lying to us?"

"I can answer that," said Draco appearing beside Hermione and placing three bags on the ground, "The Head Unknowns, like you three and now Luna, get mixed messages all the time from their sources. They do the best they can to try and tell you four the truth but nothing is ever certain. Destiny is constantly changing, just like the Angel of Death's list."

"So now we need to protect the Great Evil from taking the girls for himself."

"There is more news," sighed Draco flipping to the page on the Man of Two Faces, "He's healed and angry."

Ginny, Lavender and Luna looked at Hermione in confusion as she looked frustrated.

"The Man of Two Faces," she sighed looking mainly at Luna, "We need to find a way to destroy him."

"To do that you need to take a trip back in time," said Molly standing up and striding over to the book, "Willow worked out a chant to stop him, but it was destroyed before any of us could use it on Joseph himself."

Luna's mouth dropped open, "My mother knew him?"

Molly nodded, "If she were alive I'm sure she would never of let him near you."

Lynette nodded in agreement.

Hermione flipped through the book and stopped on the time travel spell, "It's now or never I suppose."

"You'll arrived in 1972," said Lynette, "A year and half before we walked away. It would be best to wear clothes suited to the time period."

Ginny shrugged, "Jeans are always fashionable."

The four transfigured their pants to jeans and created shirts suited for the 1970's. Hermione wrote the spell out and walked over to Ginny, Lavender and Luna.

"Keep an eye on the girls," said Hermione with a look at Draco, "If anything happens get them out of here."

"And help celebrate Jake and Steven's birthday," added Ginny looking extremely guilty.

"I will," said Molly with a smile, "Be careful."

"Time turner in the air,

Take us four where we must appear,

To the time of Lynette, Molly and Willow,

When the spell we need was penned,

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

With a deep breath they all shut their eyes as the black portal sucked them through time. With a thud they landed on the attic floor. Luna sat up first and looked around the attic. It looked the same, except sun was streaming through the windows and one side of the room had less trunks stacked against the wall.

"We made it," said Luna dusting her blue shirt off.

"At least last time there was grass to make the landing softer," grumbled Ginny standing up and pulling Lavender with her.

Hermione stood up and looked over at the book. She hurried towards it and began flipping through it, "Thankfully the book knows who we are."

"But we don't."

The four women spun around surprised to see three witches around their age standing in the doorway in defensive poses. Lynette looked younger in the face with her brown hair falling about her face in long, curly locks. Molly was much slimmer in the face, though she looked to be at least eight to nine months pregnant, with her red hair long and straight. Her eyes, however, still had the common brightness about them that Ginny was use to seeing.

But Luna didn't care about the other two women. Standing before her with long dirty blonde hair, with matching eyes, nose and mouth was Willow. Built like her daughter Luna knew she had inherited nearly everything there was to inherit from her mother.

"Hey, don't hurt us," said Lavender, "We come in… in peace."

"That's what the Evillian's said when they tried to take our book," said Molly, "Step away from the book."

"We really mean no harm Mu- Molly," said Ginny as Hermione backed away from the book, "Please, believe us."

"Wait – Molly," said Lynette as Molly raised a hand, "The red heads wrist."

"Show us," said Willow with a nod to Ginny.

Ginny glanced at her three friends and walked over to Willow. She showed them her wrist looking at Willow's.

"Why four triangles instead of three?"

"Hard to explain."

"We're from the future," said Hermione, "We need something Willow wrote."

"It's a spell," said Luna looking at Willow again, "About the Man of Two Faces."

"You don't need the spell. We're facing him today and we need it," said Molly haughtily.

"Yeah well facing him did you three no good," snapped Ginny, "You don't beat him, okay? We are proof from the future of that. Now, we need that spell because there are more important things happening in our time."

"Gin, be careful of what you say," hissed Hermione.

"She is such a stubborn… you know," replied Ginny quietly.

"Arguing with your mother won't help," Hermione said just as quietly before she looked at Willow with a sigh, "Have you written the spell?"

"It's in the book."

Hermione turned to the book and began flipping through it.

"How can you trust them?" cried Molly.

"I have a feeling," said Willow looking at Luna curiously, "They are like us – except for the other blonde."

Lavender looked around the room uncomfortably.

"But she is just as special," smiled Willow causing Lavender to smile a little, "Don't you feel it Molly? Lynette?"

"If you say so," shrugged Lynette, "Have you found it?"

"Not yet," replied Hermione, "Lave, help me."

Lavender walked over and began scanning the pages with Hermione.

"What are your names?" demanded Molly, "Ones called Lave."

"Gin," said Ginny, "She's Herms and the other woman is Lun."

"Luna," corrected Willow.

"How did you know?"

"A feeling," said Willow, "And a dream Lynette here had."

"Keep me in the dark why don't you?" cried Molly.

"I was going to tell you Molly but you were busy with Arthur."

Ginny hid a grin as her mother flushed red.

"Actually, we weren't doing anything wrong, Merlin knows Arthur is worried about me more then ever being pregnant and all."

"Do you know what it is?" asked Ginny feigning curiosity.

"A boy," said Molly proudly, "Arthur is thrilled. Two sons!"

"Found it!" cried Hermione suddenly, "Lave, ink, parchment, quill."

Lavender handed Hermione what she needed and let Hermione hastily write the chant down.

"So - so we won't defeat the Man of Two Faces then?" asked Lynette who had been watching Hermione quietly.

"No, but with this we should be able to with any hope with there being four of us instead of three," said Hermione slipping the parchment into her jeans pocket.

"If you're from the future… how far forward are you?" asked Molly.

"Put it this way," said Hermione, "I'm 35 years old."

"Nearly 35," said Lavender.

"We're both 33," said Ginny gesturing to her self and Luna.

Molly looked at Ginny critically, finally studying her features, "T-then what's your real name? Gin?"

"Ginerva Molly Potter."

"You?" asked Lynette looking at Hermione.

"Hermione Jean Granger."

Suddenly the black portal appeared behind them. Time knew they had achieved what they needed to and was ready to take them back to where they belonged.

"And you? Luna?" asked Willow quickly.

"Luna Louisa Lovegood."

"Come on, Luna," said Ginny taking her friends hand.

Luna looked at her mother longingly before turning with Ginny and jumping into the time portal knowing that would be the last time she would see her mother in person.

"Where is my Mum?" asked Tamika watching Molly prepare the cakes Ginny had cooked for Steven and Jake.

"Gone on a trip," said Molly, "What do you think?"

Tamika eyed the cake and gave her young adorable grin she shared with her father, "Look's yummy!"

"Do you think pumpkin juice will do for drinks?" asked Lynette holding up two jugs of the drink.

"I say so. Where are the girls?"

"Helping Harry, Oliver and Draco set up the dining room. Jake and Steven are still having showers I think," said Lynette summoning a stack of cups to her.

Running footsteps alerted Molly and Lynette of people's arrival. They hurried to the entry hall and were relieved to see the four women back unscathed.

"Mummy!" cried Tamika running to her mother.

Lavender scooped her up and hugged her happily, kissing her on the cheek.

"How did it go?" asked Draco.

"To plan," said Hermione before looking at her mother, "Surely you remember us coming long before it happened?"

Lynette smiled, as did Molly, "Of course we did. You just needed some prodding in that direction to make it happen."

"Is this where you all got to?" came Ron's voice as he walked in the front door surprised at seeing them all, "I spent a majority of the afternoon looking at all the possible places you lot could have gotten to and here I find you all having a merry little get together."

"Believe me," said Ginny, "It has been anything but merry. He got his soul back Ron."

Ron looked stunned, looking to Luna for confirmation. When she nodded he mouthed a swear word aware of Tamika's presence.

"When are we having cake?" moaned Jake stamping down the stairs with Steven, "Did you all forget what day it is?"

"Yeah," added Steven, "Jake and I are eight today!"

"Oh!" cried Ginny looking at Harry in surprise, "Why didn't you tell me, Harry?"

"Slipped by mind, Gin."

Jake and Steven looked at each other almost heart broken.

"Oh sweeties," cried Ginny hurrying over to them and kneeling to hug them both, "How could I ever forget what today is to my sons?"

Ginny stood and led them to the dining room decorated in orange, yellow, red, blue, green and white streamers with balloons that were constantly changing colours. At the end of the table sat presents from all their Uncles, Hermione, Lavender and Oliver, Lynette and many other family friends.

"Am I late?" cried Arthur in the entry hall.

Molly led him in as the boys sat in front of their individual cakes excitedly.

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Jake and Steven, happy birthday to you!" sang everyone merrily.

The boys took big breaths and blew their candles out as everyone cheered and clapped.

"Do you think they'll be okay?" asked Hermione looking at the lounge room that had been converted to a large bedroom to sleep Torrance, Savannah, Bronwyn, Jake, Steven and Tamika.

"We've put the crystals around them. No evil soul can step inside the room with them activated," said Ginny walking with Hermione and Lavender to the kitchen.

In the kitchen Luna had made all the adults coffees. Molly, Arthur and Lynette had left a few hours ago after helping tidy up and convert the lounge room to a bedroom. Ginny sat down beside her husband while Lavender leaned against the counter beside Oliver. Hermione was standing in front of Draco, his arms around her waist from behind while Luna was trying to avoid any contact with Ron.

"So what was it like to step back in time and see our mother?" asked Ron with a grin to Ginny.

"Mum was really… stuck up in a way," said Ginny, "You can tell she has mellowed over the years."

"I bet she looked like you."

"No not really," said Ginny shaking her head.

"Your mother was pretty Luna," said Hermione.

Luna looked up and nodded.

"You take after her," added Lavender.

"Yeah you do," agreed Ginny, "You both looked like twins."

"Thanks," said Luna taking a deep breath, "I think I might step outside for a while. I just need some fresh air."

Everyone let her go, watching her for a moment before leaving their coffees and heading to bed themselves.

Ron, however, didn't go to bed. Instead he walked out the back door and headed to Luna who was sitting on the bench under the tree.

"Everything okay?" asked Ron sitting beside her.

"It was nice to see my Mum," said Luna softly, "I wish my Dad could have seen her with me though."

"But he can't."

"I know. I'm just saying, that's all."

"Anything else bothering you?"

Luna looked at Ron curiously, "What makes you ask me that?"

"Well you avoid me like I have Dragon Pox or something like that."

"Oh. That noticeable, huh?"

"It is," nodded Ron, "Mainly when you speak to everyone but me. And when you chose to stand instead of sitting beside me – in the only seat available- at the little party this evening."

"I'm sorry Ron. It's just… I'm scared I'll, you know, lose control of my feelings and actions around you."

"What's wrong with that?"

"Joseph is bound to find out and when he does he'll go after you."

"But you can kill him now."

"There is no saying the spell will work. It hasn't been tested," said Luna with a shiver.

Ron sighed, "Come on. It's too cold out here. Let's head inside."

Luna nodded and followed Ron inside, locking the door behind her with a strong charm. When she turned, she almost collided with Ron who was waiting for her.

"Sorry," gasped Luna stepping back, her eyes locking with his.

The pair looked at each other silently. Luna could feel her heart thudding hard in her chest. She knew she should look away – at least until Joseph was gone – but she couldn't. He stepped towards her and Luna leaned in, finally giving in to her true feelings. Lifting her up, Ron carried her through the kitchen with them both stumbling up the staircase to her waiting bedroom.

"Raunchy," said the Seer as Joseph took long, angry breaths at what he was witnessing, "Who knew your… wife isn't it? Who knew she had that in her?"

"I'll kill him," growled Joseph slamming his fist onto the table causing the seers globe to rattle on its stand.

"Yes, well leave it till the morning won't you? The Great Evil will probably want to pay a visit with you," said the Seer before rolling his eyes, "His heart mate hasn't seen him years."

"If he knew you mocked him, you would be dead."

"What he doesn't see won't hurt him."

"You'd best hope he never finds out then," said Joseph, "A lot of people here hate you. That's the word going around. The Snake Shifters hold a deep hatred for you."

"They are powerless against me."

"Keep believing that."

The Seer glared at Joseph turning away from him, a wave of worry spreading through him. They would need dealing with immediately. And he knew just the way to do it.
