22. A rather big antiquities storage



Ron was standing in starbase 16's observation room. He was looking out into the enormous docking area. Though he had been in the 24th century for some time now, he was still amazed by everything. The Enterprise had seem enormous, but this... this was larger than life. Never had he imagined anything like this. Now the bay doors opened, and he watched as three Starfleet ships entered and docked.

"Impressive, huh?" said Hermione, walking up to him. Ron had went to the observation room before her, since she had lots of more stuff than him.

"Yeah..." said Ron. "I've never seen the Enterprise from the outside like this, though."

"It's a nice ship," said Hermione.

"Yeah," said Ron. "But one thing, though..."

"What?" said Hermione.

"It's just..." said Ron. "After this, Hogwarts will seem so small!"

"You mean the starbase?" said Hermione.

"Yeah, it's huge!" said Ron. "Hogwarts would easily fit out there in docking area! How big is this thing?"

"You know what... I don't know..." said Hermione. "Gotta check that up..."

"I don't know either," said Harry, walking up to them, a pack over his shoulder. "I heard Lynn tell me it's one of the largest starbase's, though. In fact, I think she said that one of the few that's larger is the Earth spacedock."

"But why all the ships?" said Hermione. "Something we missed?"

"Many of the ships are getting repaired," said Wesley, who where walking towards them, holding hands with Lynn. They had a pack each over their shoulders. "This is a popular stop because the crew enjoy taking shore leave on the planet."

"So, this a regular resort?" said Ron.

"Yeah, guess you can say that," said Wesley.

"Do they have pools?" said Ron.

"Ron, the have whole oceans," said Lynn.

"Good, 'cause I brought my bathing trunks," said Ron.

"Should we get going?" said Harry.

"Yeah, we should get to the nearest transporter room," said Lynn.

"Um... transporter room?" said Hermione. "Can't we go by shuttle?"

"Don't tell me you've got transporter phobia!" said Harry.

"I thought you where smart!" said Lynn.

"What's that supposed to mean?" said Hermione.

"Look, there's absolutely no danger," said Lynn.

"Yeah, the floo network is more dangerous," said Harry.

"Floo network?" said Wesley.

"Wizard thing," said Ron. "Come on, Herm, you've already been beamed once."

"Yeah, well, then I was dead, so I didn't notice anything," said Hermione. "I just don't like the idea of getting my molecules ripped apart and then put together again. Besides I don't particularly like the floo network that much either."

"I'm sure it will go fine," said Ron. "Come on, let's go." Hermione exhaled heavily.

"Fine. Let's go before I lose my nerve," she said. Ron gave her a quick peck on the cheek.

"I knew you'd give in," he said. They started walking.



The group materialised on the surface. They where on a hilltop, looking out over a sunny beach, the green blue water of the ocean moving in rhythmic waves. To their left there was some kind of tropical trees.

"Well that wasn't so bad..." said Hermione. Harry started looking around.

"Where's Hermione?" he said.

"I don't know, she was on the pad with us," said Ron, looking around.

"What are you talking about, I'm right here!" said Hermione.

"Oh no, you don't think she's...?" said Lynn, putting her hands to her mouth.

"Disappeared in transport...? I hope not..." said Wesley.

"No, I'm right here!" said Hermione. "Oh no, what if I'm invisible...? I knew I shouldn't have trusted that damn transporter! And why did Ron have to be so damn cute as always and talk me into it?!" Ron showed a smile. "What the hell? He's smiling! Probably spotted some lightly dressed beach bi-"

"Your such an easy target for joking with, you now that?" said Ron, looking directly at her. Hermione jaw dropped. She stood still for a moment. Then she growled angrily and threw herself upon Ron, poking him.

"DON'T YOU EVER DO THAT AGAIN!" she called.

"Ow! I won't, I promise! Ow! Stop poking meEEEEE!" said Ron, as the two started tumbling down the hill, disappearing from the others sight.

"Here we go again..." said Harry. They ran down the hill, following the tumbling Ron and Hermione. Now the two reached the beach, but Hermione was still attacking Ron. They continued to tumble down towards the water. Ron managed to stop the tumble and get up, making a run for it. But Hermione did another leap towards Ron, and the two splashed into the water.

"Maybe that will cool her down..." said Lynn. The three pursuers reached the waterline. Now Ron and Hermione sat up in the water, sputtering. They looked at each other for a moment. And then they started laughing hysterically.

"You know, I think I will stop teasing you a bit," said Ron, after he'd calmed down. Hermione chuckled.

"Good!" she said. They got up out of the water.

"So what do you want to do?" said Lynn.

"What can you do here?" said Ron.

"Just about everything," said Wesley.

"Is there a library?" said Hermione.

"Yeah, they have a big one," said Wesley. "It's got books, music and video info."

"Really?" said Hermione. "Anyone want to join me?"

"Yeah, I can check that out a bit," said Lynn.

"Well then, guess I'll be going with you then," said Wesley.

"Guess we two have to find something to do then," said Harry.

"Why don't you come with us?" said Wesley.

"No, libraries aren't my style," said Ron.

"Come on, you'll enjoy it!" said Hermione. "And like Wesley said, it doesn't only have books, I bet you can find something else that's fun."

"Besides, we've got shore leave for a couple of days," said Wesley. "We have time on our hands."

"Yeah, that's true," said Harry. "Come one, Ron."

"Okay then..." said Ron.



When they got to the library they could see why it was referred to as "big". "Enormous" would've been a better description.

"Woah..." said Ron, looking up at the structures wall as they entered. "Why is it so big?"

"Well, all those books take space," said Wesley. "This library is special since it has many real books, and not the electronic versions. It also has an antique collection of other media types like CDs and DVDs." They went into the building.

"Didn't we watch some of those when we had that movie night at your place, Lynn?" said Ron.

"Yeah, we did," said Lynn. They reached a great hall. It branched of into three sections. "Books, music and video."

"Looks like books are the biggest section!" said Hermione, and giggled madly. "Well, see you guys tonight!" She went towards the book section with hopping, happy steps. Harry chuckled.

"Bet she thinks she's in heaven," he said. "I'll think I'll go to the video section."

"I'll try music," said Ron.

"Video for me," said Lynn.

"Well, video for me too then, I guess," said Wesley.

"Okay, see you guys later then," said Ron. They went to their sections.



Hermione had been walking around in the library for about half an hour, trying to decide what she wanted to read. She saw a sign that said "Potions".

'That's weird,' she thought. She went over to the section. There were five high, long bookcases full with books. She walked slowly aside the cases, looking at the books. Then she smiled. She remembered Draco Malfoy. 'It's really to bad he didn't come with us, after he'd become so nice and all.' She stopped.

"Yes, Malfoy would've loved this," she said, smiling. "He did have certain sense for Potions after all..."

"Excuse me, did you say Malfoy?" said a voice. Hermione looked around. She couldn't see anyo- No, she saw a pair on eyes looking through from he other side of the bookcase. A pair of grey eyes.

"Yes, I did," said Hermione. "Why?"

"Just asking, since it's my name," said the person on the other side of the bookcase. Hermione's jaw dropped.

"Could we...?" she said, and pointed for the person to move to the end of the bookcase.

"Sure," said the person. Hermione walked quickly to the nearest end of the bookcase. She and the person reached the end almost simultaneously. If Hermione's jaw had dropped before, it now set a new record in diving. Before her stood what looked like the spitting image of Draco Malfoy, the only difference being that the hair was light brown, plus that he seemed to be a few years older. He also wore a Starfleet uniform.

"Who...who are you?" asked Hermione.

"Ensign Brent Malfoy," said the person. "And you are...?"

"Oh, sorry," said Hermione, recovering a bit. "Hermione." They shook hands.

"Pleased to meet you, Hermione," said Ensign Malfoy. "How is it that you know my name?"

"Well, I, um...knew someone once who was named that," said Hermione.

"Really?" said Ensign Malfoy. "That doesn't surprise me, though. My family is kinda big."

"Are you assigned to the starbase?" said Hermione.

"No, I'm only here temporarily," said Ensign Malfoy. "I'm being transferred to a ship."

"Which one?" said Hermione.

"The Kurosawa," said Ensign Malfoy. Hermione's eyes widened.

"No way! I'm on the Enterprise!" said Hermione. "We're being escorted by the Kurosawa."

"Yeah, I heard you ran into some trouble," said Ensign Malfoy.

"Yes, we were attacked a few days ago," said Hermione.

"Many casualties?" said Ensign Malfoy.

"I heard about forty people..." said Hermione. They were silent for a few seconds. "So, what are you to do on the Kurosawa?" said Hermione, to break the tense silence.

"I'm going to be a pilot for their new fighters," said Ensign Malfoy.

"I didn't know Starfleet had fighters," said Hermione.

"Well, it's only at the testing stages," said Ensign Malfoy. "Starfleet still prefers the larger ships. How about you? You live on the Enterprise?"

"No, I'm only a guest there," said Hermione. "Have been there for about month, though."

"Really?" said Ensign Malfoy. "I've heard it's a nice ship."

"It is," said Hermione. They began walking.



Lynn was standing at a huge bookcase full of DVDs. Specifically it was full of Sci-Fi movies. Wesley was standing on the other side of the aisle, looking at another huge bookcase.

"All these are movies?" he said.

"Yeah," said Lynn.

"And you sat and watched this?" said Wesley. "Without taking part in the story?"

"Yup, you sure did," said Lynn.

"Wasn't that...well, boring?" said Wesley.

"No, it was really fun," said Lynn, smiling. "You could just watch something with your friends without having to be in it. For example you could just watch a movie about the Second World War, instead of running a holonovel about it."

"Where's the fun in that?" said Wesley.

"For one, you don't have to have nazis breathing down your neck and shooting at you," said Lynn. "Plus, you can't eat snacks while running a holonovel, and you can't make comments on the actors performances."

"That's fun?" said Wesley. They heard a chuckle.

"Wes, my man, you need to be taught," said Harry, walking around the corner, a large DVD box and some DVD cases in his arms. "This is the ultimate in muggle popcorn flicks! The kind of movies just meant to be fun!"

"Ooohhh, what did you find?" said Lynn.

"All of the Bond movies, plus the Indiana Jones movies," said Harry, he put down the movies on a desk. Lynn started going through them. Harry picked up four cases. "These ones though, are probably more like historical documents to you, Wes."

"What is it?" said Wesley.

"Woah, Kelly's Heroes!" exclaimed Lynn. "Oddball's is soooo funny!

"Star Trek II, III, IV and VI," said Harry, ignoring Lynn. "They're about some of the later adventures that Captain Kirk and his crew had. Although, I think they way have dramatised some of the events."

"Great! I've always wanted to find out how it was really like back then," said Wesley. "Now I can watch the movie to get an idea of it."

"But we can't watch all these movies now," said Lynn. "To bad, 'cause they're lot of fun."

"You see, that's the thing about this place," said Wesley. "As they obviously can't let you borrow everything, so the have a special replicator at the entrance so that you can take the things you like with you anyway."

"Great!" said Lynn.



"AANNND THEY SAAY THAT A HEEEROO CAN SAVE US, I'M NOT GONNA STAAND IN THE WAAAY!!!" sang Ron. He was in a soundproof room (thank God) in the music section, listening to a CD he'd found. The music was pretty loud, so therefore he didn't notice when Harry entered.

"RON!" he called. "RON, IT'S TIME TO GO NOW!" But Ron only didn't hear him, but continued singing along to the music. Harry went over to the console in which the CD was playing, and pressed the stop button.

"Hey!" exclaimed Ron. "Who turned of the-" He noticed Harry. "Oh, hi there, Har! You gotta listen to this music, it rocks!"

"Of course it rocks, it's rock music," said Harry with a smile, noticing the Nickleback CD case lying next to the console. "Come on, it's time to go."

"But what about the CDs, I've found?" said Ron in a complaining tone.

"Don't worry, there's this special replicator at the entrance," said Harry. "You can take your CDs with you."

"Good!" said Ron. Then he leaned down and took up a large stack of different CDs.

"Jeez, Ron..." said Harry.

"What?" said Ron.



Harry and Ron came walking out of the music section, and went up to Lynn and Wesley standing at the counter with the special replicator. Ron was humming "How You Remind Me", saying a few lines now and then. Harry tapped his communicator.

"Harry to Hermione," he said.

"Hermione here," answered Hermione. "Time to go?"

"Yeah," said Harry. "We're at the entrance."

"Okay, Hermione out," said Hermione. Harry and Ron reached the counter.

"And this is how you remind meee..." said Ron.

"Huh?" said Lynn.

"He found some Nickleback CDs," said Harry. "He was singing 'Hero' when I found him."

"Okay..." said Lynn. "Well, Ron, put the CDs here and well get them copied for you." Ron nodded, continued humming, and lay the CDs upon the desk.



"Nod your head, black suits coming..." said Ron, having apparently found a Will Smith CD too.

"Ron, that's getting really annoying now..." said Lynn.

"Sorry, just can't sto-" said Ron, but then he suddenly froze, looking at something over at the books sections entrance. The others looked also. Harry's and Lynn's jaws dropped. Coming out from the book section was Hermione and what to them looked like Draco Malfoy, the two of them talking and smiling. Before anyone could react, Ron had already ran across the hall at record speed and grabbed Malfoy by his shirt, holding him up against a wall. And since Ron was rather long, he had no problem in doing so. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE, MALFOY??!!!"

"Ron, stop it!" said Hermione.

"Excuse me, I think you got the wro-" said Malfoy, catching his breath from being thrown against the wall.

"Don't you give me that!" said Ron. "You're probably the one who sent us here, or it's some kind of joke!" A moment later Ron let go and slumped down on the floor, doubled up. Hermione had punched him in the chest.

"You just don't listen..." she said through clenched teeth.

"But it's Malfoy...!" Ron managed to say.

"No, it's not!" said Hermione. "Or yes, it is, but it isn't Draco!"

"But he looks just like him," said Harry.

"Except for the hair," said Lynn.

"I think we all could do with a proper introduction," said Malfoy. "I'm Brent Malfoy."

"Wesley Crusher," said Wesley.

"Harry Potter," said Harry. Ron got up of the floor.

"Ron Weasley," he said.

"My idiot of a boyfriend," said Hermione. Ron gave her an angry glare.

"Lynn Crusher," said Lynn.

"Pleased to meet you all," said Malfoy. "And I suppose your full name is Hermione Granger?"

"Yes, it is," said Hermione, surprised. "How did you kn-"

"And I suppose that you go to Hogwarts?" said Malfoy, sounding a bit excited. All except Wesley nodded. "Then I think I know who the other Malfoy you knew is. It's Draco Malfoy, isn't it?"

"Yes, that's true..." said Hermione.

"Oh my..." said Malfoy, suddenly seeming surprised. "This is a bit odd. To meet your forefathers and all..."

"Huh?" said Ron. "Forefathers?"

"I am a descendant of Draco Malfoy," said Malfoy. "The same Draco Malfoy who went to Hogwarts with Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger." He looked at each one as he said their names. "But I am also a descendant of Ron and Hermione Weasley."

"Wait a sec, how can you bee so sure that it's us?" said Ron. "That we're you're forefathers."

"I expect you know about the wizard network which exists even now?" said Malfoy. They nodded. "Well, I myself do not have any wizard power, but I have it in my family and therefore I stay in touch with the network. I heard about a group of wizards from the late 20th century, transported here by time-apparation, having ended up aboard the Enterprise." Hermione smiled. "What?"

"Nothing..." said Hermione. "On the other hand, there is something. You said you're a descendant of me and Ron. How?"

"Well, the two of you got married and had children," said Malfoy. "When one of those children, Lily, grew up she married Dominic Malfoy, the son of Draco Malfoy. The generations went on and on in such order, so that the Malfoy family, the Granger family and the Weasley family have been become woven together into one big family."

"So, Ron and I are basically you grandmother and grandfather?" said Hermione. "Well, I guess we're your great, great, great, great, great...you get the point anyway."

"Yes, that's true," said Malfoy. Hermione looked amazed, Ron looked confused and disturbed, and Lynn and Harry looked like they found the whole thing amusing.

"Jeez, related to Malfoy..." said Ron and sighed.









A/N: Pretty sure this is my longest chapter title yet...

Sorry for not updating for three weeks! I've had a rough time at school, and I hope you can forgive me. Plus I had to give fans of my other fic, "Not all changes are for the worst..." a new chapter, since I hadn't done that since October! So, you reading both fics, new chapter y'all! And those of you reading only this fic, remember how lucky you are in terms of update rate!

The thing about the size of the starbase is really a bit of a Trek size joke. You see, it's never been determined just how big those things are.

The "Wizard thing"-thing is of course a call back on the others always saying "Muggle thing" to Ron.

Hermione thinking she's invisible is inspired by the "Enterprise" episode "Vanishing Point". It's one of the episodes I saw at a Trekker video-day I was at last weekend.

Brent Malfoy is named after Brent Spiner, all ours Data. Draco's son Dominic is named after Dominic Keating, playing Malcolm Reed on Enterprise. Ron and Hermione named their daughter Lily after Harry's mother.

And I really do love "Kelly's Heroes" ^_^

Ron singing "Black suits coming" is in there 'cause he's supposed to be irritating. It's inspired by my little brothe, who saw MIB 2 and then listened to the song on his CD player in the back of the car. He listened to it for 40 miles, singing along all the time... It became especially irritating since he really isn't to good at singing, or at English for that matter... But I do like "Hero" and "How You Remind Me" :)

Emher











PS.

You know how I told you I was...well, suicidal, miserable and all? Well, the thing is, the way I found out she had a boyfriend was through a friend of mine, who went to my school last year. He was a semi-member of the group that the girl I like is part of. During one of my resent depressed episodes, I asked him if he was really sure, 'cause her boyfriend was supposed to be a member of the same group, but I hadn't seen them together...well, ever, plus that in the directing class we have together I've caught her looking at me sometimes.

Then my friend (whom I'll strangle to death at a later time) told me that about a year ago she did indeed have a boyfriend. Although, the boyfriend had his eyes on another girl too, so there's a pretty big change that they're not together any more. Especially if you also take the reasons stated above into consideration. Then my friend asked me if he should've told me the whole thing earlier. YA THINK?! I mean, he KNEW that I liked her, A LOT! So, there's an increasing change of me and her getting together. The fact that we go to the same directing class for the rest of the school year only increases my chances.

And it's a really good thing too! This is not a crush. If it had been, I'd been over her by now. I'd been over her a few days after I heard she had a boyfriend. I am truly in love with this girl. I'm even doing that thing when you write the name of the person you like over and over again, and I've never done that before. But I just have to, because I can't stand not seeing her. Plus, she's got a really beautiful, five-letter, three-syllable name. I've even started wearing clothes I used to hate because they were a bit uncomfortable so that I look my best for her. Heck, I've never shaved this precise, I've never combed my hair this neatly. I am in love with her.

Sorry about having to drop all of this on you, people, but I don't have a diary so this is the best I've got. Thank you for listening.
