Voldemort's Mistake

Chapter 6 Arrangements

The only thing going through the past's mind was 'How in the world?' How could this one wizard be so powerful? Could this be possible?

"You know you really should blink," Harry stated. They all blinked in obedience. "You didn't have to tell them all that, Sirius."

"They were going to find out sooner or later," Sirius said in defense.

"I would prefer later rather than sooner," Harry said.

"Too late now," Sirius observed. Harry just glared at him.

"Now back to business if you please," Albus stated. "I know most of the past people would like to stay with their families in this time. However, they must have protection at all times. We wouldn't want them to die and change history in a negative way. You will all stay at Potter Mansion for it has more protection than Hogwarts. Peter Pettigrew will be dealt with in your own way when you go back to the past, and we will freeze him until that time." He then performed the spell on the retched rat and had him taken away.

"Now," he continued, "I have a mission for you four." At this point, he gestured toward Harry, Ginny, Ron, and Hermione. "As you know, Draco Malfoy and his wife, Pansy, are still at large and are known Death Eaters. We have managed to locate him in America, more specifically, Beverly Hills, California, where they live as Muggles."

"Death Eaters living as Muggles, now there's an interesting concept," Ron stated.

"But you are forgetting that they served a half Muggle," Harry said. "They never made much sense to begin with."

"We have received information that they are holding a grand ball tonight. I would like for you four to go undercover to this ball and find out any information at all. If I know Malfoy, he will assist this past Voldemort any way possible," Albus said.

"Why are you even asking? Of course we'll go," Ron said. "Right?"

"Right."

"And Sirius and Remus will be at Potter Mansion to make you everything is secure there," Albus stated.

"So you want us to baby-sit," Sirius said.

"In a manner of speaking," Albus replied.

"We were going to make you anyway," Harry stated.

"Somebody has to James, Lily, and Kayla while we are away," Ginny said. It was at that moment that the past noticed all the three babies in the room. These must be the ones that Ginny had just referred to.

"And that's why Remus is going to be there," Ron said.

"Well for that and to keep an eye on Sirius and make sure he doesn't blow the house down," Harry said.

"Well if everything is settled, everybody is dismissed. The past will go with Harry and Ginny," Albus said.

They Apparated right in front of the Potter Mansion. In truth, it looked more like a palace. They went inside and were shown to their rooms.

The past was rather quiet all day, lost in their own thoughts. Who could blame them after all they had learned that morning?

They couldn't feel fear though, no matter how much they thought about Voldemort wanting them dead. They knew that they were in the protection of a very powerful wizard, whose power they could only guess the extent of. They were, however, a little anxious about tonight, though, when he would leave for his mission.

For the ball, Harry had somehow managed to tame his wild hair and had changed his eyes a dark blue. He was wearing a pair of black dress plants and a dark green dress shirt. Ginny had darkened her hand to an auburn color and her eyes to a pale green. She was wearing a tight-fitting, dark, dark green, almost black, evening gown.

As they were coming down the stairs, Ron and Hermione came in through the front door. Ron had changed his hair to brown and was sporting a pair of black dress pants with a royal blue dress shirt. Hermione was wearing a royal blue layered gown with a see through layer on top and sequined layer on bottom, and in her arms she held a cooing Kayla.

"Now where are Sirius and Remus," Ginny wondered aloud.

"Right here," Sirius stated as he and Remus walked through the door.

"Okay, tonight I don't think we should use any magic at all," Hermione declared.

"Neither do I," Harry agreed. "We can fight easily as Muggles, and Malfoy could be able to sense our magic."

"Okay, no magic," Ron and Ginny said simultaneously.

"Now you two," Ginny said, "if anything happens to my babies, it won't be pretty for you two. Do you got that?"

"Yes, ma'am," Sirius said.

"We'll protect them with our lives," Remus promised.

"You had better," Harry warned.

With that, the four left the house.

I would write more but I just got home from a football game and I'm tired. By the way, we lost 34 to 0. Correction, the football team lost, the band did great.
