Third Year Cindy Hiolna's POV
I smiled as Kial, Draco and I got off the train for Hogsmeade, "We're back again!"
"Someone's excited." I swear I heard someone chuckle then cry out in pain, "OW! It was a joke! No need to flick my ear!" I smirked softly, maybe Draco was right? Maybe I wanted to come back to today to go to Hogsmeade again?
"Oh well… can't worry about it right now." I shrugged.
"Can't worry about what?! Cin you have been worrying me none stop since you and Draco thought you heard and saw something!" Kial snapped.
"I swear I did though… but it was probably my mind playing tricks on me."
"Yeah… tricks. OW! That was my foot!" The same voice scuffed then howled in pain.
"Okay… I'm starting to see your point." Draco turned around quickly then turned to face us again, "But I still don't see anything."
I groaned, then nodded, "So… where to first?"
"Three Broomsticks."
"Honeydukes."
"Shrieking Shack."
Draco said the first one. Kial said the second. And I said the third. We started laughing because we had said it all at once... like we did our first time here.
"Let's try that again." I decided.
Same result... again.
"How about….. how about you three go where you want to?" A voice, this one different from the last, suggested before we could try again.
"Who's there?" Kial snarled.
"'Mutationem Amens'." The voices whispered and I instantly translated it mentally from Latin.
'Change Appearance'.
Two people, a guy and girl, appeared from an alley. The girl glaring daggers at the boy before smiling softly and looking at us in a I-promise-I'm-not-deadly-but-don't-do-anything-stupid sort of way.
The guy had jet black hair and the girl blond. The boy had grey eyes that I couldn't figure out the emotion to. Sorrow? Anger? Joy? But the girl... her eyes were green and they shown with one thing, relief.
Another thing was the spell... they looked to be sixteen so how could they know about make-'em-ups?
"Sorry... but like we said... you could split up." The boy seemed to be picking his words carefully as they walked over, but the girl sighed.
"Percy..." The name sounded fake but I figured it was because they nicknamed each other or something. She looked over at us again, "Sorry about my boyfriend… he's a prat."
"Hey!"
The girl ignored 'Percy', "I'm Annabeth. We came to Hogsmeade to let go of some… challenge that have crossed our path…. So um… you three wouldn't have happened to have seen a Rat with a boy named 'Ron Weasley' have you? We're trying to find it because it may have a disease."
"You mean the Weasley's pet rat?" I raised a brow, "Yeah… uh… he's still in Gryffindor Tower, right Kial?" Said Gryffindor was just glaring at them.
"KAIL!" Draco and I shouted.
"Er… uh… yeah." Kial nodded slowly.
"Thank you….. we're good friends with Headmaster Dumbledore so we'll just head out." Percy weakly managed a smile and slowly walked away with 'Annabeth'.
"Hey wait a second!" I called out after a moment of thinking.
Annabeth sighed, "Legilimency can do extraordinary things… and I know what you're about to ask. And yes. I'm a mudblood."
She spent time around Slytherins.
"Pureblood." Percy answered Draco's question as he opened his mouth, "And Slytherin."
"How can you let him call you that?!" Kial demanded.
"Because we're close friends too. We don't mean it." Annabeth answered before they continued on their way.
"I don't like them." Kial decided as soon as they were out of ear-shot.
I looked at the girl before a small smile spread onto my lips, "I don't know… I think the boy was kinda cute."
Draco growled softly before looking at the boy, "Yeah… the girl was too."
I rolled my eyes and let his annoying jealousy problem slide. What's up with him anyway?
Sixth year Cindy Hiolna's POV
"Really Cindy?! What was with the names?! And the look?!" Draco complained after I got our appearances back to normal.
I shrugged, "Saw the movie liked the characters. Besides I remember us talking to them. You were picking your words from what you remember yourself. But, seeing as how I didn't want to get on Kial's bad side, I had to wing it."
"And I'm pretty sure you would've without it." Draco smirked.
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever... come on." I took Draco's hand and we headed for the tower.
"You sure about this?" Draco whispered as we sneaked into the castle, "We could go to the Shrieking Shack... see if he's there."
"You heard what the past us said. Pettigrew's in the Gryffindor Tower." I countered.
"But I think he slipped out." Draco took my hand, "I think that's what I saw."
"You think?"
"I was a little more than upset when you shoved me into the snow moments after I said the word, okay?" Draco sighed, "Snow was in my face, I don't know what I saw."
I nodded, and took his hand, "It wasn't your fault... but... you're sure?"
"It's our best bet at the moment." My Slytherin assured.
"Okay then..."
We rushed back to Hogsmead.
40 minutes later...
We hid behind a tree in the Shrieking Shack's yard, and listened in on the Golden Trio while the younger Silver Trio made their way here, together.
"It's meant to be the oldest building in Britain." Hermione and Ron walked up to them, "Did I mention that?"
"Twice." Ron answered while I mouthed it. Earning a whack in the arm from Draco.
'What? I love that part.' I rolled my eyes.
"Well, well, what do we have here?" Came the younger Malfoy Heir's voice and I had to stretch my neck to see him, and the other younger members of the Silver Trio walking over to the Shack.
"Cool it, Draco." Came my younger voice, as the younger me glared at him.
"Just saying, Cin." He shrugged and my Draco and I hid behind the tree fully again, "Now... you two shopping for you new-"
"Draco I swear, don't finish that sentence." The younger Kial growled.
"Can't you two learn to have a little fun?"
"Maybe they would if you'd just shut up, Malfoy. They've got their own lives." Hermione sneered.
I looked at the ground at the younger Draco's feet and pulled out my wand, '"Accio Scampers"!'
The rat was pulled in our direction before making a B-Line for the shack.
'Oh come on!' I mouthed, angrily.
"Wesley, doesn't your family sleep in one room?"
"Shut your mouth, Malfoy." Ron sounded downhearted, and my Draco winced a little.
I took his hand gently while the younger me stepped closer to the fence. "It's amazing though... isn't it Draco?" The younger me was in awe.
"It's just an old house, Cin." The younger Draco scuffed.
I gripped my Slytherin's hand, when he looked like he was about to yell something, and mouthed, 'It's okay.'
He nodded, 'But still...' I gave him a look, 'Sorry...'
"It's not just an old house, Draco. Believe us. There's a story to that Shack that you wouldn't believe." Kial stepped up, "But Ron, now's not the time."
"And I believe-"
"No!" The younger versions of Kial and I cut Draco off, "Now's not the time, or place, Draco!"
"Can't we just, for once, enjoy something without being at each other's throats?!" The younger me and Hermione added.
"He started it!" Both Draco and Ron countered then started arguing over who was right.
'Draco...' I hit my Slytherin's shoulder when I saw something in the Shack.
'Let's go.' Draco agreed. We were about to step away from the Tree when I noticed Scampers coming this way.
'Or let's not...' I pulled Draco back, and waved my wand, creating a small mouse trap.
'Why didn't I think of that?' Draco shook his head. I gave him a look and He rolled his eyes, 'Don't say it.'
I held up my hands before we got lower to where the trap was and Scampers... scampered up to it, 'That's it... come to the cheese... come here...' I heard the younger Draco scuff at something Ron said, and I chanced a glance back.
"Yes, because we knew what we were doing then. That surely makes us worse than you."
"Hope you can back up all that talk, Malfoy." Hermione snapped.
"How dare you talk to me like that you filth..." Draco looked over at the younger me while I myself looked back at Scampers as he came closer to the trap.
My Slytherin took my hand and mumbled, "I can't believe I said that word so easily..."
I squeezed it, then kissed his cheek, 'It's okay. I'm not mad at you for it.'
"Sorry if it hurts, Cin... but she deserves to be told this..." The Younger him breathed out, before I looked and heard him say to Hermione, "You filthy little Mudblood."
Right as he said that, the younger Kial and I shoved him to the snow, right as Scampers was caught.
"Yes!" We breathed out, softly, and relieved.
'Let's just hope things change for the better.' Draco noted as Harry started having his fun with his younger self, making the other younger Trio Members laugh.
I nodded before another memory struck me, and I whispered to mine, "Draco, we need to the night the Dementors attacked us by the lake."
"No! No! Absolutely not!" He hissed back.
"Neither of us had sent that Patronus to help Harry, Draco. And I just now remembered what the Patronus was…"
"What was…" Draco trailed off as he remembered, "It was a Big-Horn sheep…! Your Patronus!"
"And I also remembered my love of all animals..." I gulped.
"Great... just bloody great..." Draco hissed.
"How was I supposed to know? I was caught in the moment and I forgot!" I hissed before I saw the younger Malfoy heir running away, frightened.
"Sorry, Cin." Draco looked down.
"Hey... it's okay..." I kissed his cheek again, "Anyway... I was watching the Third year Harry do the spell trying to somehow give him some of my happy memories to help… then that was when I felt the presents of another Patronus. It was one of my memories. I can tell you this now because I remember the memory. It was when you first kissed me when we became a couple."
Draco's eyes widened before he all but shoved the chain around our necks, "Okay… I just hope we go back to a better future..."
"I know… and I realize that we met them, so things could happen."
Draco nodded, "That was… what? About six months later?"
"Yep." I nodded and turned the dial six times.
Within seconds we were standing in Hogsmeade in broad daylight.
"Why at this time?!" Draco complained and I raised a brow at him, "Do you take joy in that slap and punch you and Granger gave me?!"
I nodded, smiling, "Yep. Besides I can't go any father later today than this."
"Really?"
I nodded again, "Now come on… we're missing it." I took his arm and started dragging him all the way behind the set of rocks that Draco was hiding behind and kept hidden from both the third year Draco and I and Hermione and Harry.
"Come to see…. Um… it?" The third year Draco asked nervously as I stormed out with Kial and the Golden Trio.
"YOU FOUL LOATHSOME EVIL LITTLE COCKROACH!" Hermione and I screeched as we stormed up to him and pulled out our wands.
"Oh boy..." My boyfriend hissed while his past counterpart shouted, "Oh come on!"
"Hermione…" Weasel groaned, "It's not worth it."
"Oh it's worth it!" The third year Kial hissed.
I winced with Draco before I noticed something in Ron's pocket.
"Yep... still alive." I hissed.
"We can still get him." Draco assured.
"'Accio Rat'." I whispered, my wand out.
I frowned when the spell didn't work.
"'Accio Rat'." Draco tried. Didn't work either.
We frowned before a thought occurred to me so I whispered to my boyfriend, "Maybe… maybe our wands are zeroing each other out?"
"Could be." Draco nodded softly.
Hermione and the other me put our wands down but I know the other Draco had that stupid smirk on his face because seconds later, I heard Hermione punch him and I heard me slap him.
"OW!" The past Draco snapped before he walked away alone.
"Deserved it!" The other me growled after him and I rolled my eyes as both the time-traveled Draco and my boyfriend glared at me.
"What?" I hissed softly, "You know what… never mind… let's just get going."
"Where to?" Draco frowned.
I pointed to the Patch by Hagrid's house, "Neither of us put those stones there."
Draco frowned, "But we don't-" His comment was cut off as I summoned the exact same stones that Hermione was supposed to throw.
"You were saying?" I smirked before we rushed down to the patch.
"You're sure we did this though?" He asked as we spread the stones around.
"Time travel can be screwy sometimes." I sighed as I put the last stone down, "Now come on! We gotta get that rat!"
Draco nodded. "Are you sure though? Don't you want to take a break and go back to our time."
"Patronus, Draco! The Patronus!"
"Good point."
We slowly made our way to the Dark Woods. When we were at the edge of it Draco slowed to a stop, "Um… are you sure we wanna go in there?"
I grabbed his arm and pulled him with me, "Come on!"
It was a few minutes later that I instantly regretted doing this as I started to see and hear nothing.
"Come on…" Draco took my hand, "Of all the places those stupid Dementors had to come from…!"
"I… I'm fine." I lied through my teeth, "Let's g-" My advise was instantly cut off by the Dementors coming after us.
"Run?"
"Run." I nodded quickly.
Third Year Draco Malfoy's POV
I rubbed face were Cin had slapped me, "Still hurts you know!"
"Get over it!" Cin hissed as we made our way to the patch with Granger and Potter.
I raised a brow when I saw something strange… I saw platinum-blond hair running in the woods. I shook my head and simply followed after my best friend.
"Okay… I must be going mad." I whispered to her was we got behind some trees.
"You saw Platinum-hair?" Cin figured, "I saw dark, really curvy hair."
"Tell me that we're seeing things…" I begged.
"I wish I— DUCK!" Cin pulled my down as Potter sent a stunning charm my way.
"Okay… remind me again why we're wanting to help them!?" I demanded.
Cin glared at me, "Talk to me like that again and I will slap you ten times as harder!"
I snarled, how the bloody hell could I have fallen for her in the first place?!
1 hour later…
We watched as Professor Lupin turned into a blood thirsty werewolf.
The two of us hadn't spoken much in an hour and it was getting tiring.
"Cin…" I was about to say when Granger started howling at the thing. And, I chalk it up to the weight of not talking, Cindy started doing the same.
I cupped a hand over her mouth as Lupin headed past the others, past Potter and Granger and up to us, "Great… we're dead."
"No… we're not…" Cindy gulped before pulling out her wand, right as the werewolf closer to us, "'Convertere homo'."
I frowned at the strange wording before Remus Lupin transformed back to normal right before our eyes.
"Miss. Hiolna?! Mr. Malfoy?!" He asked alarmed.
"Drink this sir." Cindy quickly handed him a vial, "It's… it's the potion."
Lupin nodded and took a long drink of the potion, "Thank you Miss. Hiolna."
My best friend shook her head, "It was Draco that got it for you." My mouth hung open as Cindy directed our DADA teacher back the Castle.
"You lied to him." I noted as we headed off to the next area that we had to be in.
Cin glanced over at me, "Had to… I don't like taking credit… and it was your idea."
"But you were the one that got it." I insisted as I put a hand on her shoulder.
"You deserve the praise more than me." She smiled softly as she put a hand over mine.
Sixth Year Draco Malfoy's POV
Cindy jumped over a fallen tree trunk as we ran, but I tripped and fell face first into the ground, "Ow."
"Draco!" Cindy picked me up and slowly looked behind us, "Okay… there's gotta be a way to stop these things..." She groaned when I felt a feeling of dread enter me.
"Cin... come on! I'm right here! I'm talking to you… you're not alone." I took her hands softly. I looked behind us when and anger started to course through me as I saw the Dementors coming closer. "Cindy… come on… please… I'll never leave you… please come on…" I begged her. Finally tears came to my eyes before I placed my lip on her's, putting as much of my love for her into it.
Within moments she responded the same and I slowly broke the kiss, "Draco…?"
I hugged her, "I will never leave you Cin…"
"But-"
"Who cares about the sixth book! It's changing enough as it is!" I stopped her before I realized something, "Do you feel…?"
"Less hopeless… yeah." Cin nodded, "Don't know why."
I nodded slowly before we looked over at the direction of the lake, "Come on… they should be there soon."
"Yeah…" We rushed to the lake and hid behind a bush a long ways away.
I continually thought about what happened with the Dementors as we waited. Nothing like that's ever happened… wait! Hold up… happy memories… happy emotions… "Cin I think-"
"Shh! They're here!" She interrupted me and pointed to the two groups of two hid behind a tree and a rock.
"Remind me again why we chose a tree?!" I hissed to my girlfriend.
"I… I remember having this feeling that… that the bush… this bush... was already being used." Her eyes widened.
"Seer." I coughed. This earned me a whack in the head. Okay… now my foot hurts, my ear hurts, and my head hurts! "I'm gonna have to go to the Hospital Wing when this is over..." She glared at me while I groaned before I saw Harry getting up to cast his Patronus.
"Well… that's my cue." Cindy kissed me one last time before she got up and screamed so loud that I'm surprised neither of our past selves had heard her, "'EXPECTO PATRONUM'!"
The Big-Horned sheep went past the Third years to help Potter's Stag.
I watched as the two spells barely held off the Dementors so I took Cin's hand and thought of the best memory I could. The first time she forgave me for being a prat. The first of many actually.
To both of our surprise, the Big-Horned sheep glowed brighter with energy.
"That's it… isn't it? Our love for each other is stronger than hatred and sorrow." Cindy realized what I wanted to tell her.
"I think so, yes." I nodded as the Dementors flew away.
We both sighed heavily as the Third year grabbed 'my' T-shirt and started dragging me after Harry and Granger, "Come on Draco!"
I sighed as they got out of my vision, "Now can we go back to our time?"
My girlfriend nodded, "Yeah. I think we can now... too bad we didn't catch Scampers..."
"We can still stop him though... I'm sure of it." I wrapped the chain around our necks and Cindy set the Time-Turner for the day we had disappeared in Sixth year.
Within seconds we were by the lake again, but I took a step back and stepped on a twig, braking it. I winced softly, thinking that Centaurs would come around, but they didn't.
Cin rolled her eyes, "The lake's not a part of the Centaur's area."
I hate when she's smart like that. However, I did smile and kiss her, "Come on… The Perfects are probably wandering where we are." Cin broke into an all out sprint and headed straight for the castle. I smiled softly, before I chased after her. "Race ya..."
3 hours later…
"Kial!" We ran up to our best friend.
He sighed, "I thought you were mad at me Cin? For taking the Dark Mark."
"Do NOT make me put the truth spell on you, you little lying sneak." Cin rolled her eyes.
Kial frowned, "Draco told you the truth huh?"
"Sung like a birdy."
"Hey I'm right here!" I complained. We all shared a laugh before pulling Kial into a hug.
"GAH! Guys! Really!?"
"Yep." We laughed, and soon, Kial was too.
"What happened by the way? You weren't at Dinner." Kial informed us.
"Weren't... at... Dinner?" Cin glared at me, "We missed Lunch too!"
I shrugged, "Hey, it's not my fault..."
"You were the one that set it." Cin countered.
"Set what?" Kial got our attention again.
We pulled our Time-Turners out of our pockets, "Take a timed guess."
Well? Good ending to the Third year... technically... portion for this story? I'm working on the third year for the full version, don't worry...
Hopefully, it was good... please review with what you think.
Next week, next chapter.
