CHAPTER THREE
"Yes. And who may I ask are all of you?" The head mistress asked as she walked around her desk to sit on the high backed chair. Peering at the teenagers questioningly still clad in sleep wear in the middle of her office.
They looked to her as to be around the same age. She guessed them being the age between fifteen and seventeen. She did not recognize them as students. Though there was something about them that seemed familiar to her.
Alex and Scorpious turned to briefly look at each other. Quickly noting that the time turner did work as Professor McGonagall has no idea who they were yet. The others picked it up quicky as well.
"I'm Cassiopeia. This is my twin brother Scorpious and our friends. James and his brother Albus. Theo and his sister Althea. This is Alex." Cassie gestured to each of them in turn. McGonagall did not miss the fact that they failed to mention their last names.
"This maybe hard to believe Professor but we came from the future." Theo added gesturing for Cassiopeia to show her the time turner.
McGonagall frowned not convinced. Cassiopeia took the time turner out from under her shirt. "Th..that's impossible. The time turner can only take you a few hours back in time not years." Her eyes widened in shock at the object around Cassiopeia's neck." The ministry destroyed them all after the war."
"They did. Except our mum kept hers hidden. She modified it to work as she wanted it too. We are glad she did. It gives us a chance to change our future." Cassiopeia put the time turner back under her shirt.
"Who is your mother may I ask,That has the capability to modify such a device?" McGonagall pointed to the time turner against Cassiopeia's chest. "Hermione Granger." Scorpious answered.
McGonagall's face was a mix of shock and pride. She could fully well believe that one of the golden trio and her best students could have been able to have the skills to modify the time turner.
Clearing her throat and settling herself again," Alright. Please continue." She looked to each one of them.
Alex took the lead," Our parents sent us here for our safety. It was also in a way a chance to change the future."
"Someone got through the wards of our home around midnight ." Cassiopeia said. "Our parents told us to hide before they saw to the intruders." Scorpious added.
"Their parents contacted our parents and called for back up. We apperated to Malfoy Manor together." James said, who McGonagall already suspected who his father may be.
The headmistress quirked her brows up at the mention of Malfoy Manor. Why would they go there? For safety? Surely not. The Malfoy name has slowly redeemed itself in the last few years after the war but the dark history was still very much there. She did not find it appropriate to push further at the time.
"We would rather have a few others here as we explain further professor. They need to hear it as well." Althea said," it will be easier to explain all at once to all of you."
"Who did you have in mind?" McGonagall asked peeking up through her glasses. "Hermione Granger, Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy, Blaise Zabini and Theodore Nott." Albus said almost in a whisper but loud enough to be hears clearly.
McGonagall's eyebrow lifted up in curiousity," Very well I will send owls later
Today. I'll set a meeting on Friday evening. Though I do not promise that they will attend."
She grabbed some parchment and a quill," For now retire to the room of requirment. Since you all seem to be appropriately dressed I suggest you could all stay there for the mean time and rest. I assume you already know the way."
They all looked down realizing that in all panic and excitement they did not think to change or transfigure their pajamas.
"You believe us then professor?" Asked Albus hopefully. McGonagall arched her brow," Given the little you all have told me I haven't come to that just yet. I would like to hear the rest of your story first."
They all nodded in usion." Thank you professor."
"Professor, if you don't mind me asking. What year is it now?" Althea asked suddenly.
"It's the year 2000. It's been two years since the final battle." McGonagall looked towards Althea just now noticing her jet black wavy hair in a hastily done
ponytail with long strands falling at either side of her face. Her eyes were a warm blue that popped up against her dark hair.
"It will be 5 years before we were all born." Albus commented his brows knit together.
Alex spoke,"Thats a long time from now." McGonagall stared at him for a moment. Alex's deep brown eyes and short almost Malfoy like blonde hair and tan complexion reminded McGonagall of one Blaise Zabini. Though the blonde hair threw her off quite a bit.
They walked out of the Head mistress office making their way to the room of requirement.

As the teenagers closed the door behind them McGonagall turned to face the portraits of former headmasters Albus Dumbledore and Severus Snape.
"This should be interesting Minerva." Professor Dumbledore smiled at his colleague with a twinkle in his blue eyes.
"Yes. Considering who they are. Trouble follows them just as I'm sure their parents did." Drawled Snape's deep voice.
McGonagall nodded and sighed. She turned back around to start writing her letters.
