Chapter 5: If We Fail, We Die
Lily and Blake managed to make it to the Room of Requirement without being noticed. They walked by the patch of wall three times, and the door materialized out of nowhere. The entered the room and were amazed by the contents. There were books on time travel, matchmaking, and all that kind of stuff. Like her mother would do, Lily went straight to the books. Blake looked on a table and found papers with notes on them that stated what both Harry and Hermione liked, Hermione's diary, and what they liked about each other. Blake sat down and read the lists, and hesitantly opened the diary. One entry was written about that she loved Harry, and others about the goings on of a typical teenage girl. Blake read a list of stuff about his dad, and he read something that totally shocked him. He said,
"Lily, listen to this. Do you know what Dad's one weakness is? One he has no...what's the matter?" He saw the look on Lily's face as she was staring at a place in a book entitled, Rules of Time Traveling. Blake said again,
"What's the matter?" Lily came and sat beside her brother, and pointed to a paragraph in the book. Blake read it aloud,
"One of the major rules of time travel are as follows: If one goes back in time and alters history so that a significant event does not occur; such as altering the day the person was born, that person will cease to exist." Blake's jaw dropped and he said,
"So, no matter what, we've got to make sure they get together and have us, right? Because if their little fling doesn't happen, then we'll never be born, and we'll..."
"Cease to exist." Lily nodded and Blake said,
"So, if we fail, we die."
A/N: Kind of a short chapter, just trying to build a little suspense. Hee hee, I'm using my newly acquired skills that our English teacher taught us. This was a literary concept thing: Building suspense and mood. Hope you like it. Please REVIEW!!! Thanks again to all the people who've reviewed so far. Love you all.
