Title: Time And Again By: GaiNax *coughs* annchan

Last Time: "Of course I do! I'm old enough to handle these things." Harry looked down on the floor waiting for Dumbledore to answer. A few minutes passed yet it was still silent … until "You're right. I've thought about it … and you do deserve to know. First of all, if my memory serves me well, I remember Mr. Malfoy coming to the past. He pretended to be you and well all I know is that your mom and your dad will have no chance to get together."

"I don't get it. If you said that Draco right? If you said that he went back in time … and my mom and my dad aren't … together … then how come I am here and I have memories of the night Vol- uh… you-know-who killed my parents." Dumbledore stood up and looked out the window. Avoiding Harry. "I said … that the whole 'now' – or the present will not fully change until he comes back. People's memories haven't yet been altered, aside from mine. And physical change in anyone will not fully show until – tomorrow, I presume?"

"How do you know he's coming back tomorrow?"

"Well Mr. Potter all time traveling spells only lasts for three whole days or 72 hours to be precise. So just subtract the number of hours Mr. Malfoy's been missing from 72 and that's how much time til he'll get back." Draco haven't seen Malfoy since dinner so he assume he'd be gone after dinner. 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 1. "72 minus 42 uh…" He started counting in his head. He wasn't much of a math wiz. "30 hours left. A day and 6 hours. I've got to do something before it's too late."

Dumbledore stopped Harry. "You can't …

Chapter 7: Don't You See…

I won't let you… let Mr.Malfoy handle things on his own." Dumbledore stroked his long beard. "I'm sure he knows better than to do 'that' to your mom … or even you."

"You don't know him. He's selfish. He's just going to do things to his own advantage." Harry said sharply.

"Mr. Potter … don't be to quick to judge somebody. He's not all bad." And with that Dumbledore allowed Harry to leave his office.

"Lily … you are the most beautiful girl I've ever seen." It was time for their date. Draco-Harry had been practicing on his mirror. He grinned and combed his hair again. "6:55 – I have five minutes to meet her out on the lake." He grabbed his robe and left the Slytherin common room.

He walked out onto Hogwarts grounds. There she was … sitting near the lake as she was asked to do so. "Lily!" He warned her … there was a shadowy figure approaching her from the Forest. "Lily!" She looked at Draco-Harry with happiness but she frowned when she saw how he was reacting. "Behind you!" He ran as fast as he could to save Lily … but the mysterious figure grabbed hold of Lily and dis-apparated away from Hogwarts grounds. Draco-Harry ran to the lake shore to search for any clues on this captor. But no luck… well he found a pen… it could be anyone's. He looked at the pen once more … it seemed familiar – the initials L.M. caught his eye. Lucius Malfoy! "Son of a –" He raced to Dumbledore's office. "Headmaster! Lily's been kidnapped! I found this pen … it's my fathers. I know that there's a possibility that my dad could've dropped it a long time ago … but it looks good as new. All I'm trying to figure out is how did my father dis-apparate from Hogwarts." He stopped to catch his breath and tried to continue…

"Slow down … Ok first of all – why were you and Lily uh… outside after hours?" The Headmaster asked but he knew the reason … he may be old but he knew a thing or two about teenagers these days.

"Iaskedheronadate" Draco looked away …

"I know … I just want to hear it from you … but you know that is it wrong to change the future."

"Yes headmaster … but Lily's been kidnapped … I have to save her, don't I?" He asked the headmaster.

Dumbledore stood up and looked outside his window. "Look …" He motioned for him to come to the window. "Lily disappeared over down by the lake and near the woods right?" Draco-Harry nodded. "Well even though the forest is part of Hogwarts … people are allowed to apparate and dis-apparate there … that answers one of your questions. And as for saving her … you could try – but you won't necessarily find her. I mean you don't know where they went do you?"

"No sir."

"Don't feel bad … I'm sure the Marauders can help you."

Draco-Harry blinked … have heard right? 'The Marauders help me?' He thought. 'That's impossible … bunch of Gryffindors would never help a Slytherin' – " Gryffindors and Slytherins don't mix sir. It's like the monkey/dog relationship. Dogs have been the dominant one among the two but then recently monkeys were sent to space so the dogs is trying to be better than the monkey … so they hate each other so much. We used to be the dominant ones but then Gryffindors … well more like Mr. Potter took it all away from us. It all started with James." 

"I understand … but you need them to help you – it has something to do with a certain … map."

Draco-Harry looked at him, puzzled. 'Map … ok – I think the headmaster has totally lost it.' "Map? Wh – what kind of map sir?"

"The Marauder's map … now please leave and ask them to help you. You don't have a lot of time." Draco nodded and left the headmaster's office. 'Marauder's map eh? I don't know how a map is going to help me…' He looked for the Marauders … dungeons … nope – Great Hall … nope – Kitchen … nope – Gryfinndor common room …. He stood in front of the portrait of the Fat lady.

"Password?" The fat lady looked at the boy. "I've never seen you before … who are you?"

"Huh? Oh my name is Harry…"

"Uh huh password?"

"… Gryfinndor's rule?" Much to his surprise … the Portrait swung open. He entered a very warm looking place compared to his own common room. Red and gold, everywhere. "Longbottom! What are you doing here?" questioned James. "Well? Are you going to answer my question or not?"

Draco-Harry snapped back to reality. "Oh Dumbledore sent me here."

"Why?" James laughed. "That is funniest thing I've ever heard. Dumbledore wanting you to come here …" He suddenly stopped laughing when he saw that Draco-Harry was actually serious. "You're serious huh?"

"Who said my name?" Sirius Black jumped at the sound of his name.

"NOTHING! I'm talking to some Slytherin scum right now …"

'Scum – what a nice name to call the only person who can save Lily' "It's Lily … she's gone. I can't find her … my f – f – father kidnapped her."

"You scum! I knew it! Slytherins are bad!" James punched Draco-Harry in the eye. "Stupid Scum …" Hit. "Why did you pick Lily?" Punch. "I'm going to kill you if you don't say anything." Hit.

"Calm down James." Remus grabbed the 'furious' James away from Draco-Harry. He glanced at the boy lying on the floor. Bleeding. "No really what do you want?"

"Dumbledore said something about the Marauder's map." James, Sirius and Remus' lit up. "Marauder's map? What's that?" They all pretended not to know which really pissed him off. "As I said before … Lily's been kidnapped by my … father. Anyways the headmaster told me to ask you about the Marauder's Map … something that'll help me find her so I can save her."

"What makes you think that you're going to save her?"

"Cause you don't deserve her … I do." 'What? Did I just say that?' Draco-Harry was confused. The only reason he's doing this is to make Potter suffer … he didn't really have feelings for her … or did he? "What the hell does that mean?" James threatened to punch him again. "Look James … I know you don't like me … and I don't like you and I never will. But this is about Lily … give me the map and I'll save her."

Remus looked worried. He reached into his pocket and pulled out … what seems to be a blank piece of parchment. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Mumbled Remus. A map of Hogwarts appeared and in moments dots appeared. Labeled dots. Dumbledore … Mme. Pomfrey … James … Remus … Sirius … Draco… "Draco? Is that your real name?" Remus eyed him suspiciously.

"You might as well know that my real name is Draco Malfoy."

"Lucius' brother? He never mentioned a brother." James looked quite smug to know that kind of information about some Slytherin 'scum'. "Or are you something … or someone else?"

"Oh naïve James. I am not his brother" laughed Draco. "For I am his son." He said the word 'son' with a bit more expression. "So Lucius kidnapped Lily?" Draco nodded. He hated his father for hitting his mother … for hitting him and now he kidnaps an innocent, or so he thought, Gryfinndor girl. "How old is Lucius anyway? How can he have a child who's only a year younger than him." Now it was Remus' turn to laugh at James. "He traveled back in time … obviously."

"Is that true err.. Draco?" Draco nodded. 'Damn it! They figured it out … I guess it's good to have it out in the open…'

"I seriously have NO time to explain everything right now … just hand over the map and I'll leave." Remus pulled the map away from Draco. "You can't use this … it's only a map of Hogwarts, I'll make one for a map of the whole Wizarding world in England. It'll take me 5 minutes to find the map, and read the incantation … that'll give you time to tell us what is going on."

"Fine … go look for the map now then." Remus nodded and he went off to find the map.

"Ok so I was doing this project for Prof. Flitwick. I was supposed to translate French into English. I found this love charm thing … I was having trouble with girls … there's this girl I like and she's just so mean to me … well it's because I was mean to her first but I thought we –" he was cut off by James. "Hurry up and get to the time traveling part" growled James. "Fine … anyways as I was about to read the spell, I noticed my wand on the floor, when I went to pick it up, I guess the wind blew the book to another page so I ended up reading a time traveling spell. There happy now?"

"So you know we're older than you … so then why are you courting Lily – she's too old for you."

'Uh-oh what am I supposed to say … I'm courting your future girlfriend so my arch-enemy wouldn't be born but instead live with the fact that he looks like me … I don't think so'. "Well you see…" 'think … think' "I-I-I was courting Lily because …" 'Because what?' Draco trembled in fear but of course he didn't show it. 'Oh screw it! I'll tell them the truth … it'll ease my mind'. "BECAUSE I HATE YOUR SON AND IF I WENT OUT WITH LILY … YOUR SON WILL NEVER BE BORN!" Draco screamed. 'Ok now that wasn't so hard was it' "Easy for you to say …" he mumbled.

"WHAT? Lily and I are going to have children together? Wow –"

Draco shook his head. "No not children … a child. But you won't get to know him because of some horrid reason." 'I don't like them but I don't like the fact that you-know-who killed them'.

"What happens to us?" James looked at Draco. He sat down on the nearest arm chair and clutched the armrest. "You wouldn't want to know …" Draco's voice trailed off. "But since you asked, I guess I should tell you. Vol – you-know-who is going to kill you and Lily." Sirius hand slipped of the table he was leaning on. "For real? What about me?" Draco hesitated for a minute … but you know how he is in keeping promises. "Well you'll be thrown in Azkaban for 13 years and you escaped … I don't know how but you did… I bet it has something to do with that Potter."

"Me?" Asked James.

"No … I said that you're going to die … how can dead people save prisoners … a very unlikely story. By Potter I meant Harry, your son." Remus rushed back from his room waving around a map of Wizarding places. "I finished the map." It was a map of London and thousands of red dots appeared. There it was … Lily. Her dot was accompanied by another dot labeled Lucius Malfoy. Seems they're headed for the Malfoy Manor. "What's your father going to do to her?"

"I don't know … so I'm going after her!" Draco ran to the exit but he was stopped by James.

A/N: O.o What do you think James is going to do about it? Oh um if you look at it this way … since Draco and Lucius look like each other .. a bit … there's a possibility that Lucius could have done 'something' to Lily that caused Harry's hair to change(in the last chapter). I mean we have a few more hours left in the past so why not make the best of it. By the way people have brought it to my attention that Frank Longbottom should've attended Hogwarts the same time they did … but can we please pretend that he's graduated. Old people can still have young kids if they got married late or something like that.
