HARRY POTTER
TIME TRAVELER
Summary – Harry opens a book in the Restricted Section and it transports him 21 years into the future, where he meets up with the future Ron and Hermione and their son, Eddie. Harry also meets Lily Potter, Harry's very spunky and caring future teenage daughter with a hot temper and a bit of an attitude. Harry wants to know about his future, but he feels that Ron, Hermione, Lily, and Eddie are keeping something from him; some very deep, dark secrets.
Disclaimer – I do not own Harry Potter, the characters, or the Harry Potter world. The all belong to the fabulous J.K. Rowling. However, while I do not own their names, the characters and the personality traits of Lily Potter, Eddie Weasley, Daris Malfoy, Christof Nott, as well as Asher Lazard and Robyn Andrews all belong to me.
Chapter 11 – A Slytherin Talk:
"Hey Nott," started Daris Malfoy. He was talking to his best friend, Christof Nott, as they walked down the corridors of Hogwarts to their Defense Against the Dark Arts class which they shared with the Hufflepuffs. Nott looked at him and nodded to show he was listening. Malfoy decided to ask Nott since he was always so observant and Crabbe and Goyle were both rather stupid. "Do you notice anything…familiar about Harry Evans?" Nott was not expecting that question and looked rather perturbed by it.
"What do you mean?"
"He just reminds me of someone and I cannot quite put my finger on it," muttered Malfoy, more to himself rather than towards Nott.
"I suppose he reminds me a bit of that Mudblood lover Potter," said Nott simply with a casual shrug. Malfoy swung around and faced his friend both urgently and curiously.
"Really?" asked Malfoy. "How so?"
"Why does it matter?" asked Nott impatiently. "It doesn't make a difference on whether Potter resembles Evans in any way!" Malfoy moved to stand directly in front of his friend and he narrowed his cold gray eyes at him.
"It makes all of the difference in the world," snapped Malfoy. "Otherwise, I would not be asking such a ridiculous question. Now answer it!" Nott was rather taken back by Malfoy's tone and attitude. He always lost his temper when it came to Crabbe and Goyle, but never with him. Nott gulped and shrugged his shoulders.
"I suppose their mannerisms and how they carry themselves are rather similar," started Nott. "They seem to have the same facial expressions and such. I really can't explain it. I mean, they even look somewhat alike. They both have similar eyes and they both wear glasses. And they are always sharing smiles and winks. Judging by that, maybe that Evans has feelings for Potter. He'll give Weasley a run for his money."
"This is all…very curious, Nott. And at the same time, extremely helpful; almost crucial," said Malfoy slowly.
"Why are you asking, Malfoy?" asked Nott sarcastically. "Do you plan on asking Evans to the Halloween Ball?"
"You shut your mouth," snapped Malfoy, fingering his wand. "I have my own suspicions about Harry Evans. And that statement you just made about how he resembles Potter is making me think that my suspicions might be correct." They entered the classroom and walked to the back row, where they always sat. Crabbe was already sitting in his usual seat in front of them, fiddling with the ends of his textbook.
"What suspicions?" asked Nott impatiently. "What are you talking about, Malfoy?" Patience was never one of Nott's virtues.
"That maybe Harry Evans isn't who he says he is," said Malfoy, looking at his friend wide-eyed. Nott raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"Maybe Potter punched you harder than you thought," he said dryly. "You're off your rocker."
"Would you just listen to me?" hissed Malfoy. "Or am I going to bring down the downfall of Lily Potter myself?" Nott stared at his friend. He hated Lily Potter just as much as Malfoy. Nothing would please him more than to see the ultimate Mudblood lover, Lily Potter, suffer. So, instead of retorting with his usual, sarcastic comeback, Nott nodded to show that he was listening.
"Well for one, did you ever notice how Evans is always pulling his bangs over his forehead?" asked Malfoy. Nott considered Malfoy's observation for a moment.
"I never noticed it before," said Nott, "but now that I think about it, yeah. Yeah, he does do that a lot doesn't he? So what? Do you want to give him a haircut before you take him to the Halloween Ball?" Nott noticed the look on Malfoy's face and put his hands up in defeat. "I'm sorry. Continue."
"I appreciate that!" snapped Malfoy sardonically. Nott rolled his eyes but did not say anything. "But, don't you find that suspicious that he's always doing that?"
"Why would I find Evans' vain obsession with his hair suspicious?" asked Nott dryly. "Unless you are Harry Potter or an acne infested freak, there is no reason to hide your forehead behind your bangs." At those words, Malfoy began choking on his saliva and his ice gray eyes were wide.
"THAT'S IT!" shouted Malfoy. Lupin shot him a dirty look from the front of the classroom and Nott looked at him strangely.
"Malfoy?"
"That's who he reminds me of!"
"What in the bloody hell are you talking about?"
"Don't you see?" asked Malfoy incredulously. "Doesn't Evans look almost like what Harry Potter used to look like?" Nott opened his mouth to tell his friend that he was losing his mind and that good Spells Shocks at St. Mungo's might help fix the problem. But, instead, he considered it for a moment and thought. After a few moments of Malfoy watching him anxiously, Nott's eyes also widened.
"They look remarkably alike!" he gasped. "They could be mistaken for identical twins! How could we not have noticed that before?"
"I don't know, I just don't know," mumbled Malfoy, running his hand through his dark blonde hair. "I also noticed a mark on Evans' forehead when I was fighting with him and Potter; it looked as though it might be some kind of scar." Nott continued to stare at Malfoy wide-eyed.
"Malfoy," started Nott slowly, "are you suggesting what I think you're suggesting? But, it can't be…"
"Yes," whispered Malfoy, "I think Harry Evans is actually Harry Potter."
"But, how is that possible? Harry Potter has been dead for three years! The Dark Lord killed him!" Nott whispered in an awed voice, as though not daring to believe the thoughts that were racing about in his head.
"I don't know how it's possible," said Malfoy impatiently. "But, I'm so sure that Harry Evans is actually Harry Potter. That would explain the resemblance between him and Lily Potter and the so-called feelings he has for her. There are no feelings of attraction! It's the feelings between a father and a daughter."
"It's so crazy that it actually makes sense!" hissed Nott excitedly. "But, how do we prove it?"
"There's a simple way to find out," said Malfoy. An evil grin was playing on his pale lips and his gray eyes were narrowed into mischievous slits. "We need to get Potter. We need to use her to get to Evans and see how he reacts."
"Why don't you just ask your father?" asked Nott. "I mean, he and Harry Potter knew one another all the back in their first year. Ask him to come and take a look at Evans. I'm sure he'll recognize him in a second if he really is Harry Potter.
"Yes, that is true," started Malfoy, that evil smile playing on his pug face, "but, somehow hurting Potter would be so much more pleasurable." Nott chuckled and nodded in agreement, also wearing an evil grin; it was quite similar to the one Malfoy was wearing.
"Yeah it could be pretty amusing to see that scum Potter in some kind of agony," said Nott nonchalantly. "But, we should also consider Weasley's reaction." Malfoy frowned at him.
"What does that redheaded half blood git have anything to do with this?" asked Malfoy angrily. "I want to see Evans's reaction to Potter getting hurt, not Weasley's, you fool!"
"Oh come on! Everyone knows Weasley is head over heels in love with Potter, but doesn't know it yet himself!"
"Whatever," Malfoy mumbled impatiently. "I don't care about that weasel. The important thing is to see how Evans reacts."
"I suppose so," said Nott with a defeated sigh. They opened their textbooks and watched as Professor Lupin stood in front of the class and began to lecture. Only moments into the lecture, a serene smile appeared on Malfoy's face.
"Can you imagine the reward we would receive from the Dark Lord if we handed him both Lily and the young Harry Potter?" Malfoy whispered excitedly. Nott also smiled, except he seemed more excited than serene.
"We would be honored beyond our wildest dreams!"
"Exactly!" hissed Malfoy.
"Mr. Malfoy, if you interrupt my class again I will started taking away house points!" lectured Professor Lupin from the front of the class.
"Sorry," mumbled Malfoy half heartedly. Professor Lupin returned to his lecture and Malfoy brought his tone down a notch. "My father could tell the Dark Lord about what's going on. They can find a way to kidnap Potter and they could bring her to him. If Evans is really Harry Potter, then he would go after her. After all, according to our theory, Potter is the future daughter of Evans."
"Are we even sure that Potter knows who Evans is?" asked Malfoy uncertainly.
"Of course she knows! She has to know!" snapped Malfoy. "I mean, how could she not know? And it really does not matter if Potter knows the truth; it is only crucial knows and he does know. That is all that matters."
"You're right," said Nott. "But, kidnapping Potter won't be easy. She is very well protected here at Hogwarts. That Mudblood Headmistress of ours and the werewolf always have a close eye on her. Not to mention that I sometimes see that Sirius Black wandering the halls. I know he is close to Potter as well."
"Yes, she is very well protected," whispered Malfoy. "But, I'm sure my father and the rest of them could figure something out."
"Despite the protection she has, she is no match for the Dark Lord."
"Sometimes I am not so sure," whispered Malfoy uncertainly. "Despite the fact that I despise her to my very core, we all know what Lily Potter is capable of."
"You mean her 'special ability?'" asked Nott smartly. Malfoy nodded. "Yes, that is a powerful type of magic. Rare…very rare…"
"How should we do this? Should we kidnap her or leave it up to my father and the rest of the Death Eaters?" Malfoy kept trailing off and talking to himself out loud. Nott rolled his eyes and grew impatient.
"Maybe we should figure out whether Evans is actually Harry Potter before we try to plan a kidnap attempt," said Nott dryly, snapping Malfoy out of his trance. He looked at Nott curiously
"What do you mean?"
"The Dark Lord does not forgive easily. And he will not be overly pleased with us if we kidnap someone who just looks like Harry Potter," explained Nott. Malfoy nodded in agreement.
"Continue…"
"So, why should we go through all of this trouble if we are not even sure of our theory?" questioned Nott. "I think we should do something to make sure that Evans really is Harry Potter."
"What do you suggest?"
"Why not try something to demonstrate Evans' fatherly feelings for Potter?" said Nott slowly. "If he shows fatherly feelings, we can be sure that he is Harry Potter. Once we can confirm it, then we can really plan the kidnap."
"You make sense, Nott," said Malfoy in agreement, scratching the bottom of his chin curiously. "But what can we possibly do to make sure that Evans shows fatherly feelings for Potter?" A slick, sly smile played on Nott's lips and he seemed to look fairly pleased with himself.
"I have an idea…"
"What?" asked Malfoy anxiously.
"You, Daris Malfoy, son of Harry Potter's archenemy, ask Lily Potter, Harry Potter's daughter to this year's Halloween Ball," said Nott proudly. Malfoy considered his friend for a moment and narrowed his eyes.
"And if she refuses?"
"You're Daris Malfoy," said Nott coolly, "you can make her go!"
Malfoy said nothing; he merely grinned and looked at and listened intently to Professor Lupin's lecture.
