Disclaimer: HP and all of it's characters don't belong to me, but to J.K.
Rowling. Glad that is cleared up. I do own my characters and this
particular story line.
AN: The introductory material is now out of the way now on to the fun stuff. James and Lily make an appearance and confusion reigns. Please R/R.
"Where am I?" was all that Rena could think as she regained consciousness. She took in as much information as she could without opening her eyes. She heard low voices but she couldn't make out what they were saying. The surface she was laying on wasn't the floor of the common room, but neither was it her bed. The thing that brought it all together was the smell. All hospitals, whether muggle or in the wizarding world smelled the same. And no matter where she was it was definitely a hospital of some sort.
She slowly opened her eyes, flinching against the light as it assaulted her eyes. After Rena's eyes had adjusted to the light she could make out the bed next to her and it's occupant, Colin. She barely had time to process this bit of information when two people walked in. The first was a young Madam Pomfrey and a tall thin wizard with long flowing silvery beard and half moon glasses followed her in.
"Well Pomfrey it looks like one of our guests is awake. How do you do young lady I am Professor Dumbledore, headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. This is our school's mediwitch Madam Pomfrey. We found you and your friend on the grounds. Now if you would be so kind, who might the two of you be?"
Rena racked her brain trying to figure out who Dumbledore was. It then hit her. Dumbledore had been the headmaster when her parents had attended Hogwarts, but he was dead. He had died after Colin's father had destroyed Lord Voldemont. Her grandmother had said that Dumbledore was one of the greatest wizards in the world just behind Harry Potter and his death had caused a left a huge hole in the wizarding community.
"Miss are you okay?" Dumbledore's question brought Rena back to the present, or was it the past?
"Uh sure, I'm Rena Malfo-lory Mallory and he is Colin Peters." Rena thanked her lucky stars at being able to come up with new last names so quickly.
"Wonderful, wonderful. So Ms. Mallory what are you and Mr. Peters doing on our school grounds?" Though the question was stern the Headmaster's eyes seemed to twinkle. But before Rena could answer two other students came stumbling in, one was holding his nose while the girl was holding him up.
"Madam Pomfrey we have a bit of a problem." The girl spoke as she helped the boy on an open bed near where Colin and Rena were.
"Oh my, Lily Evans what happened?"
"Potter frightened me while I was in the library and I accidentally hit him in the nose. I don't think it is broken but it hasn't stopped bleeding." Lily explained, as Madam Pomfrey looked the boy, Potter over.
"Well Mr. Potter, why don't you follow me and we'll get this taken care of." She led Potter behind a screen.
After they were out of sight Lily noticed that there were others in the room. She walked over to where Rena was reclining. "Hi I didn't see you here when I came in. Lily Evans and that was James Potter, a friend of mine." Lily rolled her eyes a bit as she stuck out her hand.
"Rena Mallory, and the guy on the bed is a friend of mine Colin Peters." Rena shook Lily's hand.
"So are you new students?"
"umm, no." Rena hedged for an answer, praying that Colin wouldn't wake up anytime soon.
"Oh I see." Lily finally answered, "Well I have more homework to do, maybe I'll see you around. Hope you and your friend are feeling better Rena."
"I hope so too. Nice to meet you Lily." Rena watched Lily leave then fell back against her pillows with a sigh.
"So Miss Mallory what are you and Mr. Peters doing at this fine school?" Rena had forgotten that Dumbledore had been there.
"Well I'm not quite sure, see…" Rena began but was interrupted as Madam Pomfrey led the Potter boy back around the curtain.
"Mr. Potter I would suggest not sneaking up behind Ms Evans in the future to avoid this from happening again." Pomfrey was scolding him. "Maybe you should stay here tonight for observation."
A look of horror passed over the face of the Potter boy, "No I am sure I'll be fine Madam."
"I am sure Poppy that James here has learned his lesson haven't you Mr. Potter?" Dumbledore asked.
"Yes sir." James nodded fervently.
"Just be careful and if your nose starts bleeding again…"
"I know Madam I'll be back here as quick as possible." James slipped out the door before she could continue.
Rena watched the exchanged fascinated. Everyone knew that Colin's grandfather's name had been James, that was who Jamie had been named after, and Rena wondered if the boy who had been in was the same young man. Her thoughts were broken by a discussion that Dumbledore and Pomfrey were having.
"Now Headmaster I think it is time to let our guests get some rest. You can talk to them in the morning."
"Poppy, I only have a few questions then I'll be gone." Dumbledore smiled and Rena was amazed to see Pomfrey visibly back down.
"Fine but only 5 more minutes, then you will leave and let our guest get some sleep."
"5 minutes." Rena watched Pomfrey walk back to her office then turned her attention back to Dumbledore. "Now where we? Oh that is right you were telling why you are here at Hogwarts."
"Well sir, I have no clue. I was trying to get my shoes from Colin when he fell and I sort of fell with him, and that is all I remember, before waking up here." Rena looked over at Colin every couple of words hoping he would wake up and yell gotcha
"Where were the two of you arguing?"
"In our common room."
"So you go to school, where?"
"Here at Hogwarts, we are Gryffindors." Rena felt she could trust Dumbledore as she blurted it out.
"I know all the students here, and neither Ms Evans or Mr. Potter recognized you and they are both from Gryffindor." Dumbledore said a bit of mystery in his voice.
"Well Colin and I aren't exactly Gryffindors, yet." Rena decided at that moment to tell all of it, if this was a dream it wouldn't matter and if it wasn't well the worse Dumbledore could do was send her to St. Mango's. "We won't be Gryffindors for another 30 or so years. My name isn't exactly Rena Mallory, it's Malfoy and Colin last name is Potter not Peters. I have no clue how it happened but we have come to our past." Rena looked up at the Headmaster confused hoping that he could help her sort it out.
"Well this is interesting, I have a feeling that we will have much to discuss tomorrow morning. But my time is up as Madam Pomfrey is probably bursting to tell me. I will see both you and Mr. Peters in the morning." Rena noted that Dumbledore had emphasized Peters.
The headmaster then left without another word and Madam Pomfrey came over to check on Rena. "Well young lady you are no worse for wear, depending on how you look at it. Try to get some sleep and hopefully you and your boyfriend here will be right as rain tomorrow."
Rena tried to protest that Colin wasn't her boyfriend, but found herself to tired to do so as she drifted off to sleep.
