Chapter 11 – Nothing is forever
Knocking on the large exquisitely carved oak doors the group entered the room, not bothering to wait for a reply. The group tumbled into the room, the instinct of the old man behind the desk was to stand up and instinctively hold out his wand, pointing it straight at the group. "They are dead, you have no business pretending to be those better than yourselves, do you expect me to make an old man's mistake?"
Lily was the most shocked at this, she had Hermione in her head quickly working out the situation, and they were both coming to the same conclusions. This was the future, surely that would mean that Dumbledore would remember packing them off on this expedition in 1977. Lily knew from experience that Dumbledore did not believe in memory charms, he said so while covering one of Flitwick's lessons last year 'Even the most obscure and painful of situations carry lessons, it is foolish to disregard anything'. Then in addition to this why would he obliverate his own memory, surely he would keep it to prevent the very scene being played out before him?
Lily walked up to the man, pleading in her eyes "Please, sir, you must remember. We have 2 people from this time sharing our bodies, you sent us here because Potter over there had a vision." Dumbledore lowered his head to look over his glasses, deep blue eyes lacking in their traditional sparkle. From inside James mind Harry though about occlumency and legilimency, surely Dumbledore would try that. He had to.
After what seemed like an eternity Dumbledore lowered his wand and gestured for the group to sit down. "I know you are telling the truth, yet I do not remember this incident from my past. I think we have a split infinity occurring". The boys looked around at each other, their puzzled faces obviously showing they did not understand this, Lily on the other hand knew exactly what it was thanks to a film on BBC2 she had watched some time ago. "It's the belief that there are infinite numbers of realities where every possible choice and situation is played out, we have changed the past but as that past had already happened for the people here whatever occurred won't affect them but will effect us. It's complicated to explain but basically our future is no longer their past." Dumbledore nodded, "Congratulations Miss Evans, all you need to know is that you are now in almost an alternative universe, therefore anything that occurred after Harry and Hermione going back will be slightly different". The boys nodded, although from the look in their eyes and hurried glances to each other it was obvious that this explanation had gone straight over their heads.
"Now, I would like an explanation of what has occurred in your time, starting with immediately before Harry and Hermione became trapped up to you arriving at my door. "Dumbledore passed around a bag of sherbet lemons as James recited the story of what had occurred, Dumbledore nodded in places but never interrupted the monologue until James came to the end.
"Well, I guess that we had better find a way to get Harry and Hermione back into their bodies, you say that no one knows of the location of Mr Wealsey?" The group collectively shook their heads, "Well, that is alarming but I am sure it will work out eventually. Now I must ask you to sleep in the room of requirement while I think up an accurate cover story, I will get one of the house elves to bring you up food. Please stay off the corridors until I say otherwise, or unless Mr Potter has another vision. Thank you". With that the group vacated Dumbledore's office and left a confused man alone with his thoughts and fears.

Cheers to everyone whose reviewed this, tbh I had forgot about it coz I'm doing another FF very similar which I'll start posting this week.
I made this chapter up in 5 minutes, so it will probably be changed until the next one comes out. Feel free to give ideas on where you want it to go, couplings, fights or anything.
Keep Smiling, Keep Reading, Cheers, Kim (the original gobby Lancastrian)
