Back I go
Chapter 28
"Enervate" said Harry wakening up the older Severus.
Severus woke up, groaning when he realized it wasn't a dream, great he was going to marry Narcissa Malfoy. His life was over, Lucius Malfoy was going to kill him, everyone knew that Narcissa was Lucius Malfoy's.
"I'm dead," said the older Severus from the floor.
"Why?" asked younger Remus curiously.
"Malfoy claimed Narcissa the first day, he will be angry" said Remus softly.
"Well he knows what its like to want then" said younger Severus adamantly.
"Do not let anyone rule your life," said Harry softly, he had told Severus that since he was younger.
Ron didn't join in the conversation, Hermione didn't notice she was still admiring Narcissa's ring. The girls were giggling away like mad, sighing softly.
Suddenly the bell rang, someone had come in the Muggle way or couldn't get though the wards.
"That's Bella Remus," said Harry softly.
"Great! Will we tell her too as well as Narcissa?" asked Severus, they obviously trusted their soon to be brides a lot.
"Might as well, lets get settled down, hot chocolate for everyone," said Harry, Remus was already away getting his girlfriend from the door.
"Right everyone sit down," said Harry, sitting down with his own hot chocolate.
Everyone did what they were told, Bella was a bit awkward at first, until she saw her sister relaxing she relaxed too. Smiling softly she took some marshmallows and put them in the chocolate. Sitting sipping the steaming hot brew, she wondered what was happening.
"I am Harry Potter from the future, this is the older Severus and older Remus! And my two best friends Hermione and Ronald" said Harry "They are also from the future".
"How is it possible?!" asked a stunned Narcissa.
"I do not know," said Harry.
"In Hogsmeade there's a certain magic that does what you wish," said Severus softly.
"That's how we got here, there was a wish fountain there many years ago" said Hermione.
"Oh" said Bella shocked.
"In the future, you are both Death Eaters, as is Severus until he becomes a spy, however, I have prevented that." said Harry.
"Thank you" uttered a horrified Bella. Accepting the truth as it came, obviously trusting them more than she realized.
"Why tell us?" asked Narcissa softly.
"We thought you deserve the truth," said Harry. "You will be a part of Severus and Remus' life for no matter how long perhaps forever. And Severus as well as Remus don't want to continue to lie to you."
"Oh" said Narcissa smiling softly.
"Thank you for trusting me, even though you knew I was a Death Eater" she practically shuddered softly at the last two words out of her mouth.
"You aren't," said Severus adamantly.
"No your not" agreed Harry.
She just looked at them mutely not knowing what to say.
"I'm going to start with Ron" said Remus, breaking the comfortable silence.
"Might as well get started as well," sighed Severus getting up, time to start the training.

"First things first you are going to have to learn the unforgivable" said Severus to Hermione.
"Fine" said Hermione.
Surprise flittered across Severus' face, he thought he was in for a lecture and argument with the witch.
"I want this war ended" said Hermione, feeling the need to explain why she wasn't fighting on this one.
"Indeed," said Severus.
So they started.
It didn't take long for Hermione to master Imperio or the Killing curse, she had trouble with the third unforgivable.
"Think of Voldemort," said Severus softly.
Hermione was sweating, she had been doing this for hours now she was exhausted. She hadn't realized just how tiring it was going to be, even if she had she would still have gone ahead.
"Crucio" snapped Hermione, the mouse twitched but didn't do much else.
"So much for the brightest witch of our age," sneered Severus.
"Crucio!" snarled Hermione.
It worked.
The mouse was withering under the curse.
Hermione moved her wand, stunned the mouse was released from the painful curse.
"Well done" said Severus, he had been nasty to her to get her angry.
Anger was what worked best with the Cruciatus curse.
"I did it!" said an exhausted Hermione looking very pleased with herself.
"You did, the worst of its over now, but enough for tonight, go get a bath and a change of clothes before dinner" said Severus.
"Yes sir," said Hermione.
"You may call me Severus, we are no longer in school Ms. Granger" said Severus.
"Then please call me Hermione" said Hermione, she knew she was getting a rare privilege indeed allowed to call Professor Snape by his given name.
"Very well Hermione" said Severus nodding his head before he was out of the dungeons and away to his room.
Hermione did the same, completely exhausted, she must have spent forty five minutes in that bath relaxing.

"What would you like to learn first?" asked Remus once he and Ron were outside the house.
"I don't know, what's the hardest?" asked Ron.
"The unforgivables are the hardest" said Remus.
"Then them first, they might just save my life" said Ron.
"Too true" said Remus nodding his head in respect.
"Ok then Professor the unforgivables it is" said Ron.
"How many times have I asked you to call me Remus?" asked Remus shaking his head.
"Remus then" said Ron, after all he wasn't at Hogwarts and his mother couldn't give him a row.
"Good, lets get started." said Remus.
They spent three hours trying to get Ron to use the Cruciatus curse, but whatever Remus did it didn't help. He didn't seem to be able to muster the anger or rage to cast it, the Imperio he had no problem with. However, the killing curse, was another one Ron was stuck on.
It was five o'clock by the time Remus looked at the clock.
"That's enough for today Ron," said Remus, he needed Severus' help.
"Yes sir," said Ron knowing he had let the man down even if he wasn't showing it.
"Go get changed for dinner" said Remus.
"Can I have a shower?" asked Ron knowing he smelled.
"A quick one" said Remus.
Ron didn't waste any time in getting into the house and away to his room. He was disappointed in himself, why couldn't he cast them? Perhaps he was just a nobody, or a disappointment to everyone.
Perhaps he was no use, perhaps he shouldn't have come.
