The two girls appeared back in the dungeon at the same time, Wyverna still in the Gryffindor robes. Looking down she noticed, and muttering Robus Normalius put them back to normal.
"Well?" asked Snape, impatiently. "What happened?"
"We were in the past," said Wyverna. "We just replayed the past ten minutes of the lesson."
"So what kind of potion do you think Longbottom accidentally produced, Miss Aiken?"
"Um... A time travel potion?"
"Correct. Twenty points to Slytherin." A bell rang, to show the end of the lesson. "For homework write a ten foot essay on the properties of the time travel potion. Longbottom, also write an extra five feet on where you went wrong. Miss Aiken, if you feel unable to do this after your ordeal then you may skip the homework this once."
"What about me, sir?" asked Dolphin.
"As you are being so insolent as to suggest that I may be biased towards my own house, Miss Stebbs, then do the essay and write an extra five foot on how the additional ten minutes of my lesson benefited you. Now, class dismissed." Wyverna pulled Dol back.
"What is it?" asked Dolphin. "Hurry up, I've got to get to Defense Against The Dark Arts, with Harry and Ron, and Hermione!" Wyverna waved her hand, effectively freezing time. "Whoa, you can do non-wand magic?" gasped Dol. "That's advanced! You don't start that until fifth year, at least!" She quickly pulled herself together. "Look, hurry up, anyway."
"You think I like spending time with you?" hissed Wyverna, then her hands flew to her mouth. "Dammit. Look – we have two problems."
"Well, what are they? Hurry up, and quit keeping all these secrets! Typical Slytherin, aren't you? You just like having all the power," snarled Dol, then realised what she'd just said. "Oh, I'm really sorry!"
"Exactly. We're getting too... too in character."
"What do you mean, in character?" asked Dolphin with a frown. "We don't have characters."
"That's our other problem! We-we used to be outside."
"Outside? In the grounds?"
"No! Can't you remember?"
"Remember what?"
"Remember home! This is a movie!"
"Oh God, you're right!"
"I know I'm right! We have DADA next – can you remember who our new teacher is?" Dolphin mutely shook her head. "See? That's it! That's our second problem! Problem one, we're getting too into character, and problem two is that we're forgetting that all this isn't real!"
"So what are we going to do?"
"To start with I'm going to do a charm making everyone more like they are in the book, and less OTT. Then... Then, I guess we have to live this until we get out of here. Ok?"
"Ok."
Wyverna waved her hand, unfreezing everyone, then did a complicated flick of her wand. "Ok. Go meet your friends."
"Fine. I will." Dol hurried off, leaving Wyverna standing outside Potions.
"What's going to happen next?" she wondered out loud. "Where do we go from here?"
"Well," said Draco, coming up behind her, "lunch would be a good start, don't you think?"
After lunch was Defense Against The Dark Arts. Wyverna and Dolphin couldn't even remember that they'd read the Harry Potter books, much less who their DADA teacher was. Slytherins and Gryffindors had this lesson together as well. They all went into the classroom, sat down, took out their stuff and were talking. The teacher still hadn't arrived. Wyverna was sat in the middle of Draco, Tom, and Blaise, and Dolphin was sat with Hermione, Harry and Ron.
The door swung open, and their teacher came into the room. Dolphin turned to see who it was, and her eyes grew wide.
"M-Moony?"
"Dolphin?"
"Yes, Moony! It's me! Oh, my god! I can't believe this!" She got up, and went over to him.
"Dol? Is it really you?" Lupin asked uncertainly. "It is, isn't it?" He suddenly broke into a smile, and throwing his arms around her the two hugged. Wyverna went over to them.
"I hate to break up this little party," she said, "but don't you remember me either, Remus?" Remus turned to her.
"Wyverna! Of course I remember you. You were the one who made Sirius admit, well, you know what I mean." He glanced at her robes and frowned. "Slytherin?"
"Ah. Yes. About that..."
"Not important," interrupted Dolphin, quickly. "I can't believe this is you, Moony! You look so much older!"
"And you're both still exactly the same," said Lupin. "How...?"
"Look, I can't talk now," said Dol, glancing at the class, which was staring avidly. "I'll meet you in this classroom later, ok?" Lupin nodded.
"Ok. Now, go sit down." The lesson went by, unfortunately Lupin cancelled the Boggart and they studied technique instead. Luckily, one of the few lessons that Wyverna and Dolphin had had back in Marauder time was DADA, so they both knew how to beat a Boggart anyway.
