A/N : This is the future.....

Twenty-three year old Hermione Weasley poured herself a mug of coffee and sat down at the kitchen table awaiting the arrival her husband. He had taken the children to quiditch practice with him, he played keeper for the Chudley Cannons, and was still not home. He was supposed to arrive home at 5 and it was now 6: 30.

Hermione sat watching the clock tick with worries washing through her mind as she heard the click of the door and a cry of laughter. Relieved, Hermione let out a sigh and went to the door to meet her husband and kids.

She put her hands on her hips and was about to say something when she noticed a box of chocolate frogs in five year old Austin's hands and a sugar quill poking out of three year old Alexandria's mouth.

Hermione sighed and bent down to pick up the little girl, kissed Austin on the cheek and gave a smile to her husband.

"Hermione...I had too....they wanted it so badly, and when Austin started reciting all the moves and plays I made I was so proud of him....".

Hermione laughed, "Ron, just owl next time, I was worried out of my mind."

Ron nodded and kissed his wife on the forehead gently and rested his head against hers and whispered something lightly to her.

Hermione giggled outloud and nodded her head yes as Austin started pulling on her shirt.

"Yes sweetie?"

"Is James coming over to play. I want to show him my new broom."

Ron beamed with pride and a smile came over his face, Austin really was taking a liking to quiditch and he couldn't be happier about it.

"Not tonight sweetie, go wash up and we will have a late dinner, and wipe the chocolate off your face, scrub good."

The little boy nodded and Hermione turned to Ron, "I'm going to take Alexandria to her room and wash and change her, put her to bed early, she looks awful tired."

Ron nodded in response, "Maybe we should put Austin to bed early too...." He gave a lopsided grin and his ear tips turned red; old habits never die.

Hermione smiled flirtatiously at him and headed up the stairs to find an already dressed Austin in his Chudley Cannon pj's,

"I'm not hungry mummy, I had chocolate, I'm tired...."

Hermione nodded, "I'll tuck you in, let mer just get your sister settled first, get out a story you would like to hear ok?"

The little boy smiled and ran back into his room.

Hermione headed to the bathroom, undressed the little girl and put her in her pink nightgown. She washed Alexandria's face and helped her brush her teeth.

"Mummy?"

"Yes hunny?"

"I sweepie."

Hermione smiled, "I know, you had a long day, let's get you to bed." She carried the tired little girl into her bedroom and put her in her bed. Pulling the covers lightly up to her chin, she kissed her goodnight and closed the door behind her.

Hermione headed to Austin's room to read him a story. The five year old was sitting in bed with a book in his hand ready to be read too. He enjoyed reading just as much as his mother.

Hermione looked at the book, "The Magic Muggle".

"This one again hunny? Didn't we just read it last night?"

The little boy nodded, "Pwease Mummy, I liked it a lot!"

Hermione nodded and read the entire story, it was short and took her no more than 5 minutes of reading before the boy was sound asleep. She bookmarked the page and put the book on his nightstand. She kissed his temple, turned out the lights and left the room quietly.

Ron was waiting for her in the kitchen.

"What do you want for dinner?"

"Well there are other things I'd rather do...." Ron stated with a grin grabbing Hermione around the waist.

Hermione laughed out loud, "Ron turning down food?!"

"Anytime for you!"

Ron bent down to kiss her just as a crash was heard in the next room. The two looked at each other quizzically and headed to the living room.

Three teenagers stood in the room, but not just any, but a younger version of Hermione, Ron and Harry. The two adults looked at each other shocked as the three teens seemed to be comprehending where they were.

The adult Ron spoke up and cleared his throat, "Um...." But before he could continue the teenage Hermione cut in.

"I don't know how we got here, but it's those two's fault." Turning to the boys she said, "I knew this was a bad idea, now look what happened...."

The young Ron silenced her by placing his hand on her arm and looked up at the two adults. He nor the others were not ignorant, and most definitely noticed the resemblance. The young Ron was obviously looking at an older version of himself and Hermione.

"You see we were kinda fooling around with the Professors crystal ball and somehow we ended up here." The teenage Ron explained.

The elder Hermione looked shocked and dazed, but stood poised and tried to remain calm.

"I will contact Dumboldore, he will know what to do." With that said the adult Hermione left the room to owl Dumboldore.

The elder Ron looked at the three teenagers, "So you three came here from the past..."

Harry shook his head, "No we came from the present into the future."

Both Rons shook their heads in confusion at the same time and the four laughed out loud as they all became more relaxed.

"Don't worry guys, I'm sure that Dumboldore will know what to do, sit down and relax, that mush have been some weird trip you had here." The elder Ron stated.

The three teens nodded in response and sat down on the couch, Ron holding Hermione's hand. A few minutes past as the older Ron decided to break the silence.

"So what year are you guys in?"

"Sixth." The three responded at the same time.

Hermione looked around at her surroundings, this was her future, her and Ron's future.

"Are we married?!" Hermione asked a little to eagerly to the older Ron.

The young Ron blushed and his ears turned a bright pink and Harry stifled a laugh as did the older Ron.

"Yes, we are, and we have two little ones as well."

Hermione was just about to ask their sex, names and ages but the older Ron beat her too it.

"Austin Tyler is five and Alexandria Elizabeth is three."

Hermione nodded satisfied with the names her future self had picked out.

The teenage Ron on the other hand sat nervously on the couch, had he not just been thinking about this the other night. He rubbed his temples lightly in a circle with his thumb trying to make his headache go away.

Ron was about to say something, but quickly changed his mind. Hermione looked at him curiously and he continued, "What's our jobs?"

The elder Ron laughed, "Keeper for the Chudley Cannons". At this the teenage Ron let out a loud yelp and couldn't help but smile proudly.

The elder Ron continued, "Along with Harry as the seeker of the Chudley Cannons". Harry smiled a grin and the two young boys high fived one another.

Hermione looked eagerly at the older Ron waiting for him to tell her what her future job was when the elder Hermione came in.

"He should be hear shortly. I sent the letter with Errol Jr."

The young woman headed toward the couch to sit near her husband."

"Weird huh?" The older Hermione said with a smile on her face, 'Don't worry, you know Dumboldore he will figure something out...plus this has got to be weird for you guys, to see your future and all."

The three Hogwart's students nodded and the teenage Hermione was just about to ask her older self what her job was when Dumboldore popped in the room with a loud bang.

The headmaster was older now, his beard grayer and longer, but still as clever and smart as ever.

The professor looked at the five and a small grin appeared on his face and he let out a laugh.

The five looked at him curiously.

He turned to the two adults, "I knew this was coming, that you would have visitors from your past, due to the fact that this repeated when you yourselves were young, like a reoccurring cycle. I had performed memory charms on you so you would not remember. Unfortunately my past self does not know what is happening and is very lost, but I do, for it is I that get these youngsters back into their time period."

He now turned his attention to the three students, "You should have known better not to take that crystal ball...."

He was cut off my the young Hermione about to say something but put up his hand to stop her, "Don't worry Hermione I know you did not take it."

A relived sigh came from the young Hermione as Dumboldore continued to speak.

"The divivitation professor does not own that crystal ball, it is mine, and I let her use it on occasion, but she keeps it locked up for me. It is very rare and unique, in that fact it takes you to another time period, one that is wanted to be seen by the viewer. Here, all three of you were inclined to see your future, so that is where it took you."

"But Headmaster", the young Hermione continued, "Why is Harry with us and not in his own future."

"Because Harry is part of your future my dear."

The young Hermione nodded and the elder Hermione cut in.

Both Ron's looked at each other and smiled, so typical of Hermione to ask to many questions.

"How will they get back?" The elder Hermione inquired.

"It is quite simple, they will return the same way they came, by the crystal ball, but unfortunately the ball will not let them back until they have solved what they have came for. You see the crystal ball does not just let anyone through. It lets only those who have something to discover, something that will make them realize something that will help them in the time period that they have settled in. And until they discover that they can not go back."

This time Harry interrupted, "How will we know when we have discovered what is we came here for".

The young Ron cut in, "Does it have to do with Voldermont?" Hermione grabbed Ron's hand at the sound of the name.

Dumboldore shook his head, "Voldermont was defeated In your seventh year by Harry himself."

Harry looked up at the headmaster and Dumboldore gave him a reassuring look that calmed Harry down.

"But Headmaster, you must know what is we need to discover, if this has repeated itself before." The young Hermione stated confidently.

"I do, but unfortunately I cannot tell you, you must discover it on you own."

"So what does it have to do with then, if not Voldermont?" The young Ron
asked.

"The matter that you are to discover has only to do with one thing, love."
