Chapter 2: Arriving in the Past
Both Blake and Lily fell to the floor with a huge thud. They looked around, trying to figure out where they were. They heard a crowd of people walking outside the door of the room they were in, and then it dawned on them. They were at Hogwarts. Blake said,
"Well, what do we do first?"
"First we need to see Dumbledore. Because I don't think it'd look right to see two people running around the castle that nobody knows about." Blake nodded his agreement and followed his sister to Dumbledore's office, one he himself was quite familiar with, for he had taken after his grandfather, causing mischief and pranks with his two friends, and they constantly found themselves in Dumbledore's office, though they were never severely punished. When they reached the stone gargoyle, they paused. Neither of them knew what the password was in this time. They tried guessing, but to no luck. Just as they were about to give up and try looking for him around the school, Dumbledore came out of his office. He saw Blake and Lily and said,
"May I help you?" Lily said,
"Professor, we're Lily and Blake Potter, we're from the future." Dumbledore looked at them intently and said,
"Why are you here?" Blake said,
"We came on a matter of family business."
"Here, come with me to my office. You can tell me the whole story up there." Dumbledore turned to the stone gargoyle and said,
"Lemon drop." The gargoyle jumped to life, and Lily and Blake followed the headmaster up to his office. When they reached it, Dumbledore sat down behind his desk, and motioned for Lily and Blake to take a seat. Dumbledore said,
"You said you were here on family business. What kind of family business?" Lily said,
"Well, sir, our parents have one of the worst marriages we've ever seen or heard of. So we came back in time to before they got married to help them fall in love, and have a better relationship."
"You risked being expelled, breaking Ministry laws, and not to mention, the future itself, just so you can repair your parents marriage?" Both Lily and Blake nodded. Dumbledore sighed, and said,
"You're Harry's children?" Again, they nodded.
"Who's your mother?"
"Hermione Granger." Dumbledore raised his eyebrows and said,
"Really?" And again, they nodded.
"In my opinion, you should have just left it alone and lived with things the way they were. But, since you're here, I guess I can't stop you. Do you know how you're going to do this?"
"Not yet, sir."
"How far did you come back in time?"
"Seventeen years."
"And you're how old?"
"Sixteen."
"Twins?" Lily nodded.
"Well, Lily, you can tell that you are your mother's daughter. You look just like her, except you have Harry's eyes." Lily smiled; it wasn't the first time Dumbledore had told her that. Dumbledore looked at Blake and said,
"And you can definitely tell that you are Harry Potter's son. Even the hair." Dumbledore laughed and said,
"With looking so much like your parents like you do, I don't know how you're going to get away with this without people finding out who you are and where you're from."
"We'll try." Blake said.
"Ok, I'll address the school this evening at dinner. You're names will be Lily and Blake...?" He thought for a moment, and a surname came to Blake and he said,
"How about Evans? Hopefully no one has that surname."
"No, no one does, but I don't know if using your mother's maiden name will work." Lily said,
"How about just a plain everyday name? Like Smith or Jones or something." Blake said,
"Well, Potter's a common name, I don't know why we can't use that." Lily said,
"Look at us, Blake, if we used our real surnames, everyone will definitely know that we're offspring of Harry Potter."
"Can we make a mixture of both Granger and Potter? Cuz' we're just as much Granger as Potter." Lily, already looking irritated, said,
"Like what, Grotter? That's sounds stupid, Blake." Dumbledore hadn't spoken for a while; he just sat back and watched the sibling argument. Blake said,
"Fine, what's the surname of that friend of yours that lives next to us?"
"Carter?"
"There. There's a name we can use." Lily shrugged and agreed. Dumbledore sat up and said,
"Alright, so you'll be Lily and Blake Carter. I'll tell the school that you're going to be in Gryffindor, and in sixth year, and you'll be here for a little while, transferring from Durmstrang, as like a muggle foreign exchange system. Any questions?" Lily and Blake shook their heads, and Dumbledore said,
"Alright, so let's head down to dinner then." Later at dinner, Dumbledore stood up, motioned for Lily and Blake to come up, and said,
"Students, this is Lily and Blake Carter from Durmstrang. They are coming here as like a muggle foreign exchange program. They'll be here for a little while, and joining the sixth years, and I've already talked to Professor McGonagall and she has agreed to let them be Gryffindors for their time here. Please make them feel welcome." While Dumbledore was talking, Lily was looking over at the Gryffindor table, looking for her parents. When she found them, she elbowed her brother in the ribs and muttered,
"You see them?"
"Yep."
"We need to make friends first. Ready for it?" Blake nodded and they did their little brother/sister handshake that they had invented when they were in second year. Then they went and joined the Gryffindors. They looked around, all at who the teachers were, and the students who they knew as adults in their time. Up at the teacher's table, they saw pretty much the same teachers as they had, except for the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. Lily gasped and said,
"Look, Blake, look who the DADA teacher is!" Blake looked up at the teacher's table and found the DADA teacher. Remus Lupin was talking with Professor Flitwick, and when Blake and Lily saw him, they both grinned. Lily said,
"I didn't know he was a teacher here for mum and dad's sixth year too. I thought he was just here for their third."
"Sweet. We get him as a teacher, that's awesome." Lily looked around at the teacher's table and cursed,
"Damnit, Snape's here."
"Well, duh, he's Potions teacher in our time, it'd make sense that he is in this time too."
"I know, but damnit, I hate the..." Lily trailed off, so frustrated she couldn't finish her sentence. Blake laughed and said,
"Those thirty points he took off a few days ago getting to ya, little sister?"
"Shut up. I know; you're going to say it'll teach me to try and be like my brother and pull a prank."
"No, no, by all means, cause pranks, it'll show you actually are my sister, and James Potter's granddaughter, but just...don't...get...caught." They both laughed and went back to their dinner.
A/N: Well, how is it so far? Like? Don't like? Please let me know, as always, am open to all comments. READ AND REVIEW PLEASE!!!!!!!!! lol.
