Alright... I think I'm sick, I spent all night keeping the chapters ahead... and I almost missed my usual posting time...
Is it any wander why I think Monday's bring bad luck?
Anyway... the Disclaimer...
Disclaimer; I don't own Harry Potter, or the Pokemon games and references... all I own is Cindy and Kial, and any other OC and spell that doesn't appear in the books or movies...
Cindy Hiolna's POV
I put the Elder Wand in his cold hands. I looked at the casket for Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore.
Wow that is still a long name to me!
"Cin?..." I looked behind me at Kial, "You okay?... er... I mean... oh... you know what I mean!"
I smiled softly before I got over to the podium. I can't believe McGonagall's making me give a speech for this! I mean... I know I looked up to the man... everyone did!... But still...
I gulped before I noticed everyone that stayed for the funeral (This included Draco and a confused/sad Parkinson) nodding to me to start. The teachers (No Snape, Thank God!) nodded slowly.
I took in a deep breath, "I'm going to start with his name... bare with me if I can't pronounce all if it right... Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore..." Just the first two middle names I got incorrect... I could feel it by the soft laughter that filled the grounds. "Was... and always will be... Hogwarts... but we haven't lost him... he is still with us... so long as there is one person that's loyal to him... he'll never be gone. He's in our hearts... everyday..." I smiled softly as I remember the request he gave me, "You know... he gave me a request... a simple request... close to Christmas vacation last year. He requested that I help start House unity... so... really... if we all stick together... through this hard time... he'll most certainly never be gone... in fact... I seem to remember him saying, 'Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times... if one only remembers... to turn on the light'..." I easily hid the smirk from my face as Draco rolled his eyes and paid Kial another gallon for being wrong about that line being said, "And I think he's right... not surprising though... he's always found a way to be right... no matter the outcome. But... that saying specifically... I believe these are one of the darkest times we've ever had here at Hogwarts... and I believe... and I believe that his last request to me... I believe he gave it to me... because he knew I would try... try until I completely... somewhat... succeeded..." I bit back a smile and some tears before I finished, "And now... in the... wise and somewhat silly... words of Albus Dumbledore himself... Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!... thank you." There was a round of laughter through the grounds as I got off the stage and headed over to the other Perfects.
They rubbed my back as I started to whimper softly, "It's okay... you're okay."
I nodded softly, "I will be..."
The next day...
The school was let out early so I was in my dorm packing... though I found it kinda ironic... packing my bags to leave one home like I do every year... when I'm really in my new true home... Hogwarts.
Once I finished my packing, I knocked on Draco's door and waited three seconds before I barged in.
My boyfriend was face first in his bed, "Cin?"
"Who else would barge into your room when you're depressed?" I sighed and walked over to him. I sat on the edge of his bed, "Draco... I know you're upset..."
"Understatement of the century."
"I know you feel miserable..." I waited for him to contradict that word... but it never came, so I continued, "But... it's life... people die, people are born... what matters is what people do in between." I rubbed his back gently. He turned and I saw that his eyes were red and puffy, "Draco..." I laid down on top of him.
He instantly wrapped his arms around me and started crying into my recently washed hair. "I... I'm so sorry... I... I'm a disgrace..." He whimpered.
"No... Draco you're not." I lifted myself up and wiped the new tears from his eyes, "You're a disgrace to your parents... sure... but to me?... you're one of the bravest people I could ever know and love." I kissed his nose.
He looked at my eyes and I looked at his, they were filled with worry and terror, "But..."
"Draco," I put a hand on his cheek, "Not another word on the matter... okay?"
Draco sighed and nodded, "Okay..."
"Good... now..." I pulled him to his feet, "Are your things packed?"
"Most of them... yeah." Draco nodded before waving his wand, a smile growing on his face, "Boy am I glad I can do that now... without having to worry about being underage!"
I hit his chest, "Hey! I'm still underage! No need to rub it in!"
He chuckled, and I soon followed.
Three weeks later...
"Are you sure..." I bit my lip as I gave a longing look at the front of North-East. I wish I didn't have to leave it... hell... I wish I could just hid in there till it was time for the Battle at Hogwarts... but...
"Yeah..." Kial took my hand, "Hey... we'll come back... as soon as the war's over. I give you my word as a Cub Scout!"
"You barely lasted a week before you got kicked out!" I narrowed my eyes on him.
"Accidental magic." He shrugged before Chase walked up to us.
"So this is it?... You're still leaving?" He frowned.
We nodded, "Yeah..."
"Try to patch things up with your she-beast of a sister... please?" I sighed, "If not..." I gave him a roll of dollars, "Buy yourself a hotel room."
"Thanks for giving me a second chance... Cin." He hugged me.
"Of course." I hugged back, "But... let's stick with Cindy."
He nodded as I let go and moved back to my boyfriend and best friend. "Ready?"
"Can we still stay if I say no?"
"No."
"I was afraid you'd say that."
"Don't worry... you'll be fine." Draco took my hand, and we turned on the spot.
When I could see clearly again, I saw that it was vaguely familiar two story home with dark gray paneling, a light gray roof, and white trim around it all.
"This place..." I couldn't put my finger on why it looked familiar to me.
"It's across the street from where we first met." Kial nodded, "Yeah... you have no idea how much it cost to buy the place."
"Do I wanna know?"
"Nope."
"Geez! Don't tell me I'm broke!"
"Not yet..."
"Well, ain't any better." I rolled my eyes as we stepped inside.
"No..." Draco started as we looked around
"Way..." I finished.
"Yep!" Kial smirked, "I got here an hour ago and spell the entire house to look like North-East so we wouldn't be homesick."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back up!" I narrowed my eyes on him, "You always said you wanted to go on the Horcrox hunt! Draco and I have bounty on our heads... you don't... so how exactly does we include you?"
He smirked... boy was I beginning to hate that smirk.
July 31st...
"No!"
"Come on Draco!"
"My answer's no!"
"It's just one trip by Apparation!"
"Still no!"
"Draco please!" I begged, "Kial already left!"
Draco groaned and opened the door to the second floor bathroom, "Fine! But just until you get your license to Apparate."
"Thank you." I smiled softly before I took his arm and we spun around.
"Holy..." I held my stomach as I saw Number 4 Private Drive for the first time in my life.
"Looks like a plain old house to me." Draco shrugged.
"Dude, I can go over every corner of this house. I know precisely were everything is... even now." I nodded to where the Dursleys were walking out of the house.
Dudley noticed us first and I quickly grabbed Draco's hand to show that I was 'off the market'. "Excuse me..." He walked over to us, "But... you look fam-"
"Seriously man?" Draco rolled his eyes and held up our intertwined hands, "We're together."
Dudley growled softly, "And just who do you think you are?"
"How about two of the people that are about to protect your cousin's ass." I rolled my eyes, "Also, there's a vacant house on 'Eastwood' street in Raymore, Mairea... which is in the United States. I've already talked to the... Minister of Magic..." I grinded my teeth as I saw the anger cross Vernon's face, "He's already got your passports and things you'll need in the car."
With that, I motioned for them to get into said vehicle which they did.
"Isn't that the street going off yours?"
"Yep." I nodded, "Hopefully I'll never see those jerks," I glared daggers at Petunia and Dudley, "Again."
"Agreed." The others nodded before we walked into the house.
"Cindy... Mal-" I glared at Harry as I gripped Draco's hand comfortably, "Er... Draco."
"Harry." We nodded to him as we walked further in.
Kial walked over to us, "You ready?"
I nodded, "I am."
"Me on the other hand..." Draco looked down, sighing, "Not so much..."
"You'll be okay." We assured him, "We promise."
"Gryffindor-"
"And Hufflepuff-"
"Guaranty!"
Draco smiled softly, "Okay..."
Half an hour later...
Mad-eye came with some other members of the Order... with the unfinished Polijuice Potion.
"You ready?" I asked Harry as I threw another pair of my jeans into a pile.
"Are you?"
I breathed a soft laugh, "I've been ready for this... since I came to Hogwarts... you know... I'm so glad you actually understand."
"Kinda at least... Ron's still mad you lied though."
I shrugged, "I told him he's gonna lose family... I think that's enough to piss any a man off."
"True." Harry chuckled softly.
"Alright... that enough?" Draco asked us after we put down our last bits of clothes.
"Should be." I nodded.
"Alright..." Hermione plucked a bit of hair from Harry and Kial pulled some from me.
"Ow!" We both hissed and put our hands to where the missing follicles used to be, "You know... you guys don't have to do this..."
"We're all of age." Draco insisted, "We know the consequences... but we're still doing this."
"Malfoy's right." Hermione agreed, "Harry, Cindy, we have to do this."
I sighed, "Why do I have a feeling we're gonna regret this?"
"You never have a clear mind." Kial smirked before Mad-Eye walked over to us again.
"Alright... take a sip then pass it on." He instructed as he took a sip of the one with Harry's hair, "Girls, take Cindy's, boys, Harry's."
They nodded and each took the potion.
Within moments I was in a room with seven Harry Potters and four other mes.
"Wow, we're identical." The Weasley Twins coursed.
I laughed softly, "You're all identical."
"Wow... Cindy... your eyes are really strained." Hermione frowned as she put on one of the pairs of jeans in my pile.
I shrugged, "Comes with the love of reading."
"And Harry... you really have poor eyesight." Kial -I think that was Kial- noted before he put on a pair of Harry's glasses.
Harry rolled said eyes before looking around, "Is everyone ready then?"
"Yep." Everyone nodded.
4 minutes later...
I got on a broom next to who I figured were Fred and George, with Tonks, and Fleur at my other side.
"Let's go!" Mad-Eye shouted for all of us to go.
"Right." We kicked off the ground and started flying. I brandished my wand, ready to fight the Death Eaters as soon as they arrived.
Low and Behold, a few minutes later, black smoke started to fill the sky.
"Ready?" I hissed to Tonks and George as a few got close. (I made sure Fleur and Fred were together to be safe.)
"Ready." They nodded as they pulled out their wands.
"'Aguamenti'!" Tonks and I chorused and sent several Death Eaters down with the blast of water.
"'Expelliarmus'!" George bellowed, forcing a few Death Eaters to lose their wands.
"It's them! The real Mudblood and Potter!" A Death Eater shouted.
"Not quite." I smirked softly before I yelled, "'Stupefy'!" That knocked the Death Eater out of the sky.
"Nice one." George smirked.
"Thanks." I nodded before I looked behind us and saw Snape preparing to send a spell at another Death Eater, I growled softly and whispered, "'Protego Maxima, Fianto Duri, Repello Inimicum'!" I put the barrier around Tonks, George and I to make sure the spells wouldn't hit us... especially when Snap's spell almost came at us.
"You okay?" I glanced at George.
"Nice spell work." He nodded.
"You have no idea." I smiled softly.
Finally, we reached Tonk's house.
I all but jumped off my broom and ran up to the door. I put my hand to the door knob and it burst open... Molly Weasely holding her wand out. She grabbed my jacket collar, pulled me inside, pushed me against a wall, and held her wand to my throat, "What was the gift Cindy Hiolna received from me on her sixteenth birthday?" She demanded.
I stumbled over my answer. She dug her wand into my neck and I quickly answered, "Uh... um... a... knitted sweater with a C!"
Molly let me go and I breathed a sigh of relief, "Sorry about that deary... just had to make sure you were you."
"I get it." I assured as I rubbed where her wand once was, "But did you have to dig so deep?"
"Sorry." She smiled sheepishly before I walked deeper into the house.
"Okay... George still has his ear." I told Lupin as he handed me a list... I asked him to make it so only a few members would know the truth about me.
"Hedwig's still alive." He nodded as I checked off the list of things that I wanted to make didn't happened.
"Okay... Mad-Eye..." I bit my lip and looked around.
"I'm still here." Mad-Eye called out behind me. Of course... this cause me to jump a foot into the air.
"God!" I turned to face him, "Mad-Eye please never do that again!"
He nodded before I heard the door open again and I rushed up to interrogate the 'Harry' that had come through. I held my wand out and pushed them against a wall.
"Jesus! Jumpy much, Cin?!" Red-Blond hair appeared through some of his black.
"What did Kial Biralion tell me when we first met?" I asked sharply.
"Couldn't ask for something less embarrassing?" He complained. I pointed my wand right at his neck, "Okay! Okay!... 'Fell through the air like a bird did ya?'."
I let Kial go, "Okay... it's you."
"I could've told you that." He punched my arm, but still had Harry's measly strength, so I punched him twice as hard in the arm, "Ow!"
"You've still got his strength." I smirked.
He glared at me as he finally got back to his original form, "Whatever... is... uh... you know..." He made a swiping motion to his ear.
"Here." I handed him the check list.
He looked through it, then sighed, "Thank God!"
I winced when we turned to see another Harry... but with Platinum-blond hair... stumble in, "Draco!" Kial and I rushed over to him.
"Ow..." He gripped his chest, "I... I saw him..."
"Who?" I dreaded to hear the answer.
"Vol..." I sent him a look before he could finish, "Er... You-Know-Who."
"How?"
"I... I..." He bit his lip.
"Draco... I know this may be a bad time... but what did you get me for third Year's Christmas?" I asked simply.
He blushed a little, "A pair of roller skates."
"It's him." I nodded as we helped him stand up, "Now... how did you see him?"
"I... I stayed with Harry to help him..."
"You didn't..." My eyes went wide and I looked over at Kial.
"Yeah... and I... I saw Harry's wand... do something weird..."
"Let me guess... sent a curse at his wand?" Kial figured.
"Yeah." Draco nodded.
I pursed my lips, "His wand... did you get a look at the core?"
"No... why?"
Draco Malfoy's POV
"Because it was... Lucius'..." They gulped.
"WHAT?!"
"Knew that'd be your reaction."
"Guys!" I complained.
"Look, it's a long... long story..." Cin sighed, "And we don't have the time to talk about it." She nodded over to the door where Harry came in... the real Harry.
"Lupin don't-" Cin and Kial tried to stop our former DADA teacher grabbed him and pulled the Boy-Who-Lived against the wall.
We sighed and walked over to the other side of the house. Cin sat on a chair and I sat beside her, Kial sitting beside me. It was only a few moments later that Harry, Hermione, and Wesley mirrored us. Harry sitting in front of me, Hermione in front of Cin, and Wesley in front of Kial.
"So..." I couldn't think of a thing to say after what happened.
I should've expected it, but I was still surprised when Hermione pulled out an all too familiar book. "I went to a muggle book store and bought this to read."
"'The Deathly Hollows'?" Weasley read, "What's that?"
"You'll find out later." Hermione, Cin, Kial, and I chorused.
He rolled his eyes while Harry picked up the book, "What's it got to do with anything?"
I looked at Cin, who sighed, "What edition is it?"
"Second... I think why?"
Cin sighed, "You may wanna switch it out for the first then... it won't show any changes in it if you don't."
"Really?"
We nodded, "Yeah."
"Mine are all first edition... I think that's why it changes every time something doesn't turn out the same."
"Did it-"
"No. The 'Time-turner' thing was supposed to happen... and it happened without you noticing anyway."
Harry and Hermione nodded slowly, "Okay."
"'Time-turner thing'?" Ron frowned.
"Ron, my ginger-haired friend... don't ask questions you're not ready to hear the answer to." Kial smirked softly.
"Anyway..." Cin sighed as Hermione put the book away, "The next thing I remember happening is Harry's 17th birthday and the wedding a few days after that."
"Wedding?"
"Oh? You don't know?"
"No." They shook their heads.
"It's Bill's and Fleur's." I informed them.
"WHAT?"
Start of book 7... wow...
Sorry for the only two different Perspective changes...
