Hey guys...I am soooooooo sorry it has taking this long to post this chapter. RL got in my way for a while there. I am back now and the story is almost done. We only have three chapters left after this one. Thank you to all of you that have stuck with it this long. I love you guys so much.
I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER...IF I DID THEN THINGS WOULD BE SO MUCH DIFFERENT.
The rest of the holidays flew by and before they knew it the 6 friends were back at school. They had hoped that Zach and Jessica would be over their little games, but as it was they were not. They had not even been back a week before Zach tried to corner Rose alone, but Scorp was always there around the corner to stop him. Jessica even tried to get to Scorp once in the Great Hall, Al and Sable where there to thwart her plan and keep her away. If Rose had caught here near Scorp she would have released a world of fury on her. The professors even went to great lengths keeping those two away by giving them detentions any time the tired anything and purposely holding them back after class giving the others a chance to get away.
After a month the teens and teachers alike thought that Zach and Jessica were done messing with them for good. However what they all did not know was that Zach had only stopped so he could start on his master plan. It would be another month before he could steal the time turner as he waited for his Polyjuice potion to finish, but once he had the time turner it would only be a matter of time before he could really put his plan into action and change everything. He just hoped this plan would not get messed up again, and therefore he went to great lengths to make sure no one followed him or knew what he was doing.
"Zach is it ready yet? I'm tired of being your lookout and not getting to join in on the fun." Jessica whined one evening.
"Tomorrow the potion will be complete and then the final master plan will be set into motion. Sorry that you will not be going with me Jessica, but I need someone to keep those brats busy while I steal the time turner and then with that, and the time potion, I can go back to when Rose and Scorp's parents became friends. Then I can change things to make sure Scorps's parents befriend my parents instead so then Rose will be mine and Scorp will be yours." Zach ranted
What Zach did not know was that over all this time they had spent together Jessica no longer wanted to be with Scorpious and only continued to do what she did for the sake of Zach whom she had fallen for. However she did not want to tell him anything because she did not want to make him mad, instead she decided that she needed help. She decided that Zach had gone mad and needed to be stopped before he did something so drastic that it could change more than just the outcome of their friendships. She decided that she needed to tell Rose and Scorp. She figured that they could stop him before he got out of hand.
The next day Rose and Scorp were talking an afternoon walk with Albus, Sable, Lilly and Jake on the grounds when Jessica came running up to them. Rose immediately tensed and Scorp wrapped his arm around her in an attempt to calm her down and let her know he isn't going anywhere. The others looked at Jessica with death glares wondering what on earth this girl was up to and that she was brave to be coming up to them.
"Hi guys. How are things?" Jessica asked as casually as she could. The next thing she knew questions and statements were flying at her so fast that she hardly hid time to process them.
"What do you want?"
"You have a lot of nerve coming up to us."
"Watch yourselves we know what she is capable of."
It took her a second before she finally replied, "Zach is going to do something super crazy and dangerous that can ruin everything you all know as love. He needs to be stopped."
"What are you talking about?"
"What?"
"This is crazy?"
"What is he going to do?"
"You're joking right?"
Jessica turned to the others, "I wish I was joking, but I'm not. Zach has figured out how to make a potion that works like a time turner and can send him back in time, the only thing is that this potion can send him back as far as he wants provided he made it correctly. He wants to go back to night after the final battle. That is the night where Rose's parents and Scorp's dad became friends. He wants to try and convince your dad Scorp to not befriend Ms. Granger and her soulmate. He is hoping that if he can do that then everything in the present time will change to how he wants it to be. You guys can be friends and then he can have Rose to himself to carry out a more evil plan of trying to destroy everything that is good. He was going to convince Rose that evil is better and with the daughter of one of the members of the Golden Trio by his side he figured he could not be stopped."
The others looked to her with looks of shock and pure hatred towards the young boy. They then all looked to each other with knowing looks in their eyes. He must be stopped at once they all agreed. Together the teens, including Jessica now that she was no longer seen as a threat, came up with a plan that they would carry out the next day.
"Jessica you have do whatever Zach wants you to do to us to stop us. He must not know that you are helping us. Once he thinks he is safe that is when we will chase after him and bust in to stop him." Scorp was telling her as they were making the plan. "If he has already started making the jump Rose, James Albus, and I will run after him to stop him. No offense to the rest of you, but the less that go the better and since this affects us the most we will go. James is going to help keep us safe and under control, right James."
"I will do my best, I'm not gonna lie though, I do want to knock the guy out for hurting you two like that. Yall are like family to me with Rose actually being my cousin and all…" James forgot that he wasn't supposed to mention that last part.
"James what do you mean I am your cousin? We are not related…are we?" Rose asked, they were getting off topic but this was important and she needed to know in case they went back in time.
"Rose, your dad was best friends with both your mom and my dad growing up. The third person in the Golden Trio. Rose your dad is, well was Ron Weasley."
Dun Dun Dun... There you have it. Many of you have asked where Ron is in the story. I originally was not going to add him in and just have James tell Rose that he was her father but from what his dad had said, he left when Rose was young. As you can see that no long has happened. You will "see" Ron again in the next few chapters, but as far as what happened to him, well you will have to wait and see.
Thanks for reading. If you haven't done so already, favorite this story.
Have fun and read on.
