Chapter 2

A group of five students were sitting outside of Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor. Their ice cream lay forgotten on the table and was starting to melt due to the summer's heat. For the past hour they had been sitting quietly eating their ice cream from time to time. They were too preoccupied with their own thoughts. Suddenly, everyone, except Mark, heard familiar voices that were heading their way.

James put his hand over Mark's mouth and dragged him into a nearby robe shop and watched through the shop window, while the rest of the group followed. The people they had heard were sitting down next to the table they were at only seconds before.

Once James took his hand off of Mark's mouth, Mark shouted, "You could have let me finish my ice cream! What's the big rush anyway?"

James gave an exasperated sigh and explained, "Our parents were walking towards us. We had to hide."

Mark was still confused. "Why would it matter if they saw us? It's not like they know who we are."

Ivy snapped, "It's all part of the plan. We can't let them know that we're friends. It would kind of be hard to explain why Slytherins and Gryfindors are hanging out together. This may be ok in our time, but interhouse unity was not really supported with the students while our parents we're in school. Remember it's because our parents getting together that started promoting ideas of interhouse unity. If it weren't for that, the students at Hogwarts would not have been able to put aside they're differences and fight against Voldemort together."

Serena glared at her sister, "Ivy be quiet, remember Voldemort is still alive and people still fear the name. Don't go around yelling his name."

"I remember, you don't have to remind me. My temper just got the better of me. Oh, and sorry, Mark," Said Ivy

"Will you all be quiet? I'm trying to hear what our parents are saying. It might come in handy," Said James.

"Here this will help." With that Izzy cast an eavesdropping spell that she learned from Uncle Fred and George.

A bowl full of an odd liquid appeared in Izzy's hand. Inside it, the other four saw that it contained the scene that they were trying to watch.

"Ron, are you buying the ice cream or not?" Asked Harry.

Ron walked towards Harry and Ginny with the ice cream they ordered, "Here you go mate. Here Ginny." Ron looked around him. "Have any of you seen Hermione?"

Ginny looked up and said, "I told her to meet us here at three. She should be here any minute."

"Hey guys, I'm here," Hermione said panting. "Sorry, I had a few more books to buy for school."

Harry looked at the numerous bags that Hermione was carrying and grinned. "Did you buy a copy of every book they had at Flourish and Blotts?"

"No, Harry I didn't," Hermione said hotly.

"I was only kidding, Mione. Congratulations on becoming Head Girl," Said Harry.

"Who's Head Boy?" Asked Ginny.

Hermione frowned, she never found out who the Head Boy was in her letter. She shook her head, "No, I never found out who it is. I was hoping it would be one of you guys. Oh well, as long as it's not Malfoy."

Ginny started to giggle and then it turned into uncontrolled laughter. It soon spread to everyone at the table, as if it was a contagious disease.

Ron snapped out of his reverie first. "Yeah, that would be the day. Draco Malfoy, Head Boy."

"Sorry to burst your bubble, but as a matter of fact, I am Head Boy." Drawled an all too familiar voice.

Hermione stood up. "What were you doing? Stalking us all day, Malfoy?"

"Don't flatter yourself. Why would I want to stalk a bushy haired mudblood and her two boyfriends? Oh, and mini Weasel," Said Draco.

Ron got out of his seat and was about to lunge at Draco when Harry grabbed him from behind.

"Ron, he's not worth it. After this year, we never have to put up with the ferret anymore. Let's just go," Said Hermione.

Ginny, Hermione, Ron, and Harry left, leaving Draco where he was standing. He huffed and also left in the opposite direction.

The image in the bowl disappeared and then the bowl disappeared altogether. Izzy looked up from the suspicious looks of the others, "Heh heh, I guess bringing together Serena and Ivy's parents isn't going to be easy."

Ivy looked from the where the bowl was to Izzy, who at the moment had attempted to put on an innocent façade. "How did you? No, where did you learn this little trick? Also why did you conveniently forget to mention that you knew this spell?"

Izzy looked at Ivy then James and the rest of the group in turn. "Well, I...what I mean to say is I learned this spell from Uncle George and Fred."

Serena eyed Izzy. "Why didn't you tell us you knew the spell? Have you been spying on us?"

"I didn't mean to. I couldn't help myself, It was the perfect opportunity," Said Izzy sheepishly.

James tried to lighten the mood, "Stop it, this is no time to get into a fight. At least we know now."

"Ok, fine. We forgive you Izzy." Said Ivy warily. "I guess we should be worrying about what to do about my parents. We've all heard from Aunt Pansy that my parents were bitter enemies, but I had no idea it was this bad. If I hadn't seen it for myself, I wouldn't have believed it. I mean mum and dad's fights do tend to get bad, but those are extremely rare and short.

"Think on the bright side. At least now we don't have to convince the Professor to make your parents Head Boy and Girl," Said Mark.

Ivy nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you're right, but we still have to talk to Professor Dumbledore. Since we have to attend Hogwarts for our plans to work."

The five stuck out their wands and said lumos. The Knight Bus arrived as soon as the words left their mouths. They each paid fifteen sickles and got on the bus. Within minutes they reached their destination. They thanked Stan and walked towards the castle, they saw a carriage waiting for them. Though all of them thought it strange, they shrugged it off and rode the carriage in silence.

As soon as they were inside the castle, James whipped out the Marauder's Map. The group headed to the gargoyle statue and looked at the bubble on the map. It said candy corn; they repeated the password and the statue leapt aside revealing a spiral staircase. They headed upstairs and down a hallway finally into the Professor's office.

Upon entering, they heard a welcoming voice, "I've been expecting you five."

The five tried to find the source of the voice. Their eyes swept passed the Professor's delicate silver instruments on tables whirring silently and the portraits of the past Headmasters and Headmistresses were peering down at the new guests. Finally, they spotted the Professor smiling at them from behind his desk.

However even though they had found where Professor Dumbledore, they couldn't say a word because all this time they had been wondering how they would explain to the Professor about the situation.

They were snapped out of their trance when Professor Dumbledore explained, "The Mirror of Time used to belong to me. I have at one point given it to one of your parents as a wedding present. I believe it was to Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. I have arranged for you to be sorted along with the first years on the first day of school."

The five nodded their heads dumbly still not completely over the shock.

After the initial surprise Ivy spoke, "Um...Professor, are you going to be helping us with our plans?"

"Yes, Miss Malfoy I am going to help you with your plans. We can't let Voldemort ruin the future," Replied Professor Dumbledore.

Serena looked up. "Professor, how exactly are you going to help us? Sorry if I sound a bit rude and impatient."

The Professor smiled. "No offense taken. I do not know all of your plans in detail, but if you come to me for help I will be willing to do whatever I can to help."

Serena smiled back. "Thank you Professor. I guess we'll be going now."

"Oh, Miss Longbottom, on this parchment will be the names you will be going by from now on. Merlin knows what would happen if you kept your original ones." Professor Dumbledore said, while handing Izzy the parchment paper.

As the five walked out the Professor turned to his phoenix, Fawkes, "It certainly will be an interesting year, don't you agree, old friend."

Almost as if in response Fawkes burst into flames and in minutes was reborn from its ashes.

The Professor's eyes twinkled in amusement. "Yes, a new beginning."

A/N: Sorry for the delay I meant to post this yesterday, but I had to help my mom at her store. This chapter dragged a bit, but it was necessary. Next chapter is when the funs begins, the group finally go to Hogwarts and meet their parents face to face. Don't forget to review!
