Thanks to all my reviewers:
Fairy lights: I'm happy to hear that you like my plotline.
NeLLy22: I am glad that you still like my story even though I changed it a bit.
Auburn Raven: Thank you for enjoying my fanfic and yes, time traveling fics are fun to read.
Karana Belle: Great job on figuring out who Ivy, Serena, Mark, James, and Izzy's parents are.
DMTABF: I'm ecstatic to hear that you found my story amusing. As to why the kids went to the past if their parents were already married, was already mentioned in the first chapter. The future they come from is one of many, the only reason why they came to the past was, they come from what used to be the most possible out come for the wizarding world. That is, until someone started to meddle with the past.
D/Hr lover: I tip my hat at you for reviewing my story. As to why Harry went to Draco was because he knows Draco has an infamous reputation with being good with woman. The other people like Ron, wouldn't have been able to help him much. Also, you mentioned that Snape and McGonagall were being too friendly. Well, my only explanation is, in the book you never find out if they were good friends. Plus, I've always thought that McGonagall and Snape would make good friends.
Fpg: I love cliffhangers too!
Dark Pixie 13: Well, here is the next chapter you were waiting for.
Chapter 7
Harry knew that this was coming, but still his heart dropped. He had been told, countless times by people around him, to never show fear to your enemy. "What's your price?"
Draco's eyes flashed with a malicious glint. "You have to promise, that you will accept my fee no matter what. Also that you will speak to no one about this."
"Ok Malfoy. Harry hesitated for a moment and continued, "I swear that I will agree to any price you name."
Draco raised an eyebrow and Harry finished his promise. "And I promise not to repeat this to anyone."
"Good. You will aid me in getting revenge on Granger," Draco said, nonchalantly.
Harry was stunned, 'How could I not have seen this coming' he thought angrily. 'I will just call this whole thing off and go figure out what to do about Ginny, myself'
Draco watched Harry, amused by all the different emotions that flashed in his eyes. 'Potter is so predictable. Too bad that he can't back down from this little promise."
Harry turned and faced Draco. "I won't do it. I could never do anything to hurt Hermione."
"Sorry Potter," Draco said with fake sympathy. "You won't be able to break this promise, no matter what you do."
"Why is that?" Harry spat out, his rage mounting.
"Because of this." Draco pulled out a ring from his pocket. At first glance, one would have thought it to be a perfectly normal ring. However, with scrutiny, Harry noticed that the green jewel encrusted in the ring, it contained some form of swirling liquid that constantly moved inside it.
Harry held the ring up to the candlelight. "What is this?"
"This is the reason why, nobody ever breaks a promise to a Malfoy," Said Draco smugly. Seeing Harry's confused face, Draco continued, "If a promise is made to the wearer of the ring, it will force the person who made the promise, to go through with it, willingly or not."
Before Harry had a chance to retaliate, Draco got up and started to walk out of the Slytherin common room. Prior to leaving the room, Draco looked back at where Harry was sitting. "I'll owl you later tonight, on what you're to do. Don't worry, if all goes well, I will help you get back together with Weasley."
After saying that, Draco swept out of the Slytherin common room and headed to his room. Mark and James continued to watch the bowl, as the image in it dissipated. The two exchanged looks and ran to the Gryffindor common room, to tell the others what had happened.
Ivy, Serena, and Ginny were sitting in the armchairs surrounding the fireplace of the Gryffindor common room. They were talking about their classes, when they saw Mark and James rushing towards them. The instant Ivy and Serena, saw their distressed faces, they knew something went wrong.
"Ginny, we'll talk later. We have to go somewhere for a second," Said Serena.
"Ok, see you guys later," Ginny replied.
As soon as they left, the four headed to the place they were most likely to find Izzy, the library. Like they expected, Izzy was sitting at a table, leaning over the latest issue of The Quibbler. She looked up at them with dreamy eyes. "What's wrong?"
Ivy her eyes hard, answered, "Emergency meeting. Now!"
The situation was explained in a matter of minutes and everyone had something to say. The group was divided, in what they thought they should do.
"I don't think we should worry. They've been doing these kind of things even before we came here," Said Ivy.
"Yes, but one time too many, they could end up hating each other forever," Argued Serena.
"She's right Ivy," James said.
"There's a thin line between love and hate, James," Said Izzy, supporting Ivy's argument.
"Fine, you guys can ignore the problem if you want, but we're going to try and do something about it!" Mark shouted.
"Fine," Ivy replied.
The two groups then stormed to their dorms, still fuming and headed to bed.
Harry slowly strolled into his common room, preoccupied with his numerous thoughts. 'Why did I agree to the ferret? How am I ever going to make it up to Hermione?' He let out a sigh and locked eyes with Ginny.
There was an awkward silence, until Harry decided to break it. "Hi, Ginny."
"Hi," Said Ginny.
Once again, silence filled the room. Harry opened his mouth to speak again, when he saw a falcon like owl fly toward him. It dropped an envelope; the seal was an intricately shaped M. Harry had a guilty look on. "I got to go Ginny. I'll see you around."
Harry raced up the stairs like lightning and closed the door behind him. Thankfully, everyone was asleep in his room. He tore open the letter hastily, it read:
Potter,
The only job you have tomorrow is to put the content of this vial into Granger's drink. Oh, and don't you dare try to destroy the liquid in the container. My ring won't let you go until you complete your task.
Unpleasant dreams,
Draco Malfoy
Harry searched at where he had dropped the envelope and sure enough he found a vial full of a pastel pink substance. Despite what Draco had written in the letter, Harry tried to break the container, only to have fruitless results. His arm would not cooperate and let him throw the vial.
He glared at it with the uttermost loathing, but reluctantly tucked it into a pocket in his robes. Though he did not believe it, he prayed that this plan of Draco's, will not be that bad.
Harry had been tossing and turning all night and had not gotten a wink of sleep. Although his body protested, the ring would not let him stay in bed. He was forced to walk downstairs and into the Great Hall. When he didn't see Hermione, he thought for a second that she might not be hungry today. However after this consideration, he saw Hermione walking towards him.
Harry's fight with Draco's ring was futile because no matter how hard he tried he could not resist its power. He found himself opening the vial and pouring the pink liquid into Hermione's drink.
Hermione reached the table, with a wide smile. "Hey Harry."
"Hi Hermione. Here, have some pumpkin juice," Harry said, in a monotone voice and handed Hermione the cup he had put the liquid in.
She gave him a strange look, but took the cup from him anyway. Hermione took a long gulp from the cup. "Thanks Harry. I was really thirsty."
Harry opened his mouth to tell Hermione what had happened, but no sound came out. He kicked himself mentally the ring was still at work. Part of the promise, was to not tell her what had happened.
Harry waited for several minutes, but nothing happened. Mark, James and Serena who had been sitting on the other side of the table had also been watching intently, for any signs of change. While Izzy and Ivy did not care in the least at what was happening.
Harry, and the other's let their breath that they have been holding out and started to relax. Nothing was happening, perhaps what Draco had planned was flawed and that's why nothing was happening. Soon, Harry decided to forget about it and joined in Hermione and Ron's conversation. James, Serena, and Mark started talking about how lucky they were that the plan didn't work.
"Harry, what's our first class?" Asked Ron.
Harry looked at the schedule and answered, "Double potions with the Slytherins."
After many groans of protest from Ron, they headed to the dungeons. As Professor Snape started to explain what potion they were making that day, Hermione got out of her seat and walked over to Draco.
Hermione stared at him for a few moments and then pressed her lips against his. She soon realized what she was doing and ran out of the classroom. The Slytherins started snickering, while the Gyffindors were murmuring concerns for Hermione amongst themselves.
Hermione ran into her room and slammed her door. 'What had gotten into me? I was listening to Snape one minute, then the next I had this floating sensation and found myself kissing Malfoy.' Thought Hermione, between her rushing tears.
When Hermione opened her eyes, it was already dark. She scolded herself for getting worked up because of Draco. She peered out the door and saw that he wasn't there. Considering what would happen if she went to dinner, she decided to skip it and face her peers the next day.
Right before Hermione was going to blow out the candle next to her, an owl flew in and dropped a letter. It had a Hogwarts seal on it, so she quickly opened it. It was from Professor McGonagall.
Miss Granger,
I have heard what had happened in your potions class today and how you have missed all your all your lessons. This is very disappointing, but since this was the first time and seeing as how you are the brightest witch, I will let it slide this one time. I have sent you, the assignments you missed today.
Oh yes, and besides that, you have been chosen to tutor Susan Elddir. She has been falling behind in her studies and we do not want to see her fail. You will meet her tomorrow at 7 p.m., at the library.
Sincerely,
Professor McGonagall
Hermione after reading the letter folded it back up and put it on her desk. She then blew out the candle and fell into a dreamless sleep.
