Disclaimer: see first chapter. btw, I don't own it.
AN: hey guys sorry it took so long for this, but things happen and I'm trying to do several projects at once now to try
and catch up. The thing is, though, I'm not sure which direction to go with this from here. I could bring in some other
characters so that the three of them won't eventually get bored with each other over the next two weeks, and also so there
could maybe be some pairing off. I know this is in the H/L section, but it may not stay there much longer, as I also love H/Hr
and R/L as well as a few other pairings more than I do H/L. But I still like H/L a lot. I hope it happens in cannon if H/Hr
does not for some reason. coughRoncough. sorry....must be the pollen in the air. Not to mention, considering that
this story involves time travel, well, things have the potential to get very confusing and even comical very quickly, you
know? I hope to have a lot of fun with this one, and in the process teach these kids that there is a limit to how much you
can screw around with time before nothing makes sense anymore. hahaha. well, you'll see what I mean. Or will you?

part two: Another One Dragged Down (or is it up?) with them
Ginevra Molly Weasley was, at the moment, completely fed up with boys, and they're persistant misperceptions that she was
their property no matter how well they lied about thinking of her that way. Having just dumped one Dean Thomas after he'd
accidentally gave his ideas about their relationship away to her when he didn't think she was around to hear, she felt she
would be justified in taking the whole male population of Hogwarts and feeding them to the Giant Squid, one by one. Starting
with Dean, of course. And then Michael. Then maybe her idiot brother, Ronald, whom she knew Hermione was close to killing
off anyway, considering how he just didn't understand simple English when it came to the fact that she did not like him 'that'W
way.' Then again, there may be better ways of dealing with them. Perhaps she could find a way to make them all switch
genders for a week, and see how they liked it. '...then again, some of them might actually like that' she thought.
'Perverts...' the only guys in the whole school she was sure were 'not' perverted egotistical pigs were Harry, and...Neville?
Wait, where did that come from? 'Well, it's true' she argued with herself, 'Although it's probably only because all the
ridicule and abuse they've both endured has permentantly damaged their masculinity.' She used the last word bitterly as if
it were a horrible swear word. She couldn't believe Dean, lying to her like that. And she had just been planning to jump
him! 'I can't believe I ever considered that with him.' she thought as she supressed a shudder. She had been walking around
the castle to no place in particular, and suddenly she realized she was in Myrtle's bathroom, which lead to the Chamber of
Secrets. She blanched. This was the last place she wanted to be. It just brought back horrible memories. But as she was
turning to go, she noticed a note attached to the mirror above a certain sink which she knew would sink into the floor and
allow entrance to the Chamber which she opened so many times, calling forth in that horrible voice for the basilisk to come
out. Over the past few years she had slowly started to remember all of those things she did in horrifying dreams she had
occasionally.
She looked a little closer at the note and saw it was addressed to her, and written in what looked like her own handwriting:
Dearest Ginny,
On behalf of the 'inner circle of the DA', that is to say, myself, Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, and Neville, I would like
to invite you to come to our party. We're skipping for a few weeks to relax a bit and get a real chance to think about new
ways to fight off evil forces, such as 'masculinity', which I know you've been having problems with lately, as, duh, I'm you.
So just get your skinny ass down to the Room of Requirement pronto, and you'll get further instructions on how to reach us
from there.
Love from,
Ginny
and underneath were the other people's signatures as well.
She read the letter, and reread it two more times to be sure it wasn't part of her imagination. 'I wrote myself a letter??'
....
'well, it sure looks like my handwriting...and they did say they could help with that little problem...ah, what the hell.'
And without further ado she stuck the note in her pocket and sped out of the creepy bathroom before Myrtle could notice she
was there.
'But what if it's a trap created by...him?. Maybe I should go show this to Dumbledore, or just go straight to Hermione and ask
if he really did sign this note.'
But before she could head off to the Gryffindor tower, an owl found it's way to her and gave her another note.
This one was from Harry:
Ginny,
C'mon, we're all waiting, yes, the letter was for you, we knew you'd be the one to find it there, it wasn't meant as a
joke or anything. I can explain everythign when you get here. Hurry.
Harry
'Okay, it's for real then, or my mind is really playing tricks on me again. I wonder what they've gotten themselves into now?'
She turned and headed in the direction of the Room of Requirement
===========
"You know, love, you'd think after all we've done together over the past few weeks you'd be more eager to get here." Neville
ribbed as they were waiting for Ginny's counterpart to arrive. Ginny turned slightly red, but then a smirk appeared on her
face as she said "Neville, dear, you are simply far too confident in your abilities I'm afraid..."
Neville blanched. "W-Wait, but you said-" but he was interrupted by her breaking out into a fit of giggles.
"Oh, you looked so worried!" she managed between laughs. Neville looked unimpressed. "Oh you'll pay for that one, Gin."
and with that he started tickling her, which caused her to laugh even harder and they ended up falling to the floor.
Ronald, who had been watching them from the corner, sharing a butterbeer with Luna, who happened to be in his lap at the
moment, was momentarily distracted by his sisters antics, and flinched at the thought of what they were implying, but somehow
he just couldn't get angry while Luna was running her fingers through his hair like that. He could remember the first time
she did this after he saw Neville and Ginny together snogging in the pool, and what she had said to him afterwards. He still
wasn't all that comfortable though, knowing his little sister was with someone. But he didn't think Neville was the type to
hurt her, unlike her previous boyfriends. He sighed, looking at the clock.
"Hey Harry, shouldn't we be getting out of here so she won't see us? I mean finding the note is one thing...but didn't she
say she didn't see us until after she went back?"
"Ron, for the fiftieth time, the Door of Requirement will take care of that! She will not even end up in the same room with
us at all!" said Hermione irritably. She looked like she wanted to say more, but Harry blew gently in her ear and she seemed
to calm down.
Ron's face had gone sour. "Didn't ask you anyway, 'Mione." he said, and childishly stuck out his tongue at her back, to
which Harry stuck out his, playfully. However, he wasn't prepared when Hermione almost visciously grabbed his tongue between
her teeth and pulled him into a kiss. Ron blushed, but was bewildered if he should be thankful it wasn't him, or jealous...
however Luna stopped his train of thought entirely by laughing and then copying Hermione's move. Ginny and Neville had
long since stopped their little tickling session to watch the show.
"Let's sneak off where they can't find us while he's still distracted...that hypocrite," said Ginny, looking angrily at her
brother.
She grabbed Neville by the arm and then pulled out her wand, muttering a spell under her breath and drawing a door
on the wall. she then opened the door and they both walked through it, the door closing and dissapearing behind them.
A few minutes later, Ron wondered aloud "Where did those two get off to?" The others shrugged, and he soon found he didn't
really care about his sister's whereabouts as he was just too preoccupied with the beautiful girl in front of him.
=========
Meanwhile, Ginny was standing in the Room of Requirement, which was completely empty except for a note tacked onto the back
wall with an ornate dagger whose handle looked like the head of a lion, with the blade extending from it's mouth. also
hanging on the wall around the dagger was a small hourglass around a long chain.
Not one to waste time, she reached up and pulled the blade from the note and began to read it.
Dear Ginny,
I do hope you like the dagger. Apparantly it belonged to one of Harry's ancestors, which he learned about through
the use of this room. You should probably give it to him when you see him. Anyway, the hourglass is how you get to where
we are. Just put it around your neck and turn the hourglass over once. But I would make sure no one followed you before
you use it. We don't want any of Voldemort's spies to know what we're up to or anything. Or what this room is really
capable of, which myself and one other person have been keeping secret from everyone. But you know I trust you.
Hope to see you soon,
Luna
In confusion, and amazement at the fact that Luna had been hiding things about the room from them all last year, Ginny
quickly used a few spells to check for anyone invisible in the room as well as checking outside the door for anyone. Then,
confident that she hadn't been followed, she placed the hourglass around her neck and turned it over. still holding the
dagger and the note.
Instantly, she felt a great rush of wind, and images rushed past her, only in reverse. Suddenly she realized she was moving
backwards in time, and in shock, she dropped the note. Then, as quickly as it had started, the wind stopped, and she was
standing in a very different Room of Requirement, and also standing over the three sleeping forms of Luna, Harry, and
Hermione. Both of the girls seemed to be wrapped around Harry in one way or another, and breifly she felt her old feelings
for him flare, along with her anger. But then she was just shocked that Harry would have done such a thing...although...
they did all still seem to have pajamas on, at least.
Bewildered, shocked at what she had just done, along with what she had just seen, she decided the best thing to do was to
wake up Luna and show her the note she had left for her, demanding some answers.
But, looking around, she noticed the note was nowhere to be found. and with that, she threw up her hands in frustration, and
walked over to the couch in front of the fire and plopped down to think about what just happened, and why they would be
asleep when she got here, rather than waiting to greet her like their notes had made it sound. Did Luna want to gloat over
the fact that she had gotten Harry into bed with her? But that didn't make any sense, she realized. For one, Luna isn't
like that, and second, she'd been over Harry for a while now, and Luna knew that. But still, looking over at them all
asleep like that on that huge bed made her jealous. They just looked too happy about it for their own good, she decided.
She took the hourglass, which she now realized was a timeturner, off of her neck and was examining it when a voice to her
right startled her.
"Ginny?" whispered a very sleepy looking Harry who was rubbing his eyes and putting on his glasses. "Is that you? How did
you get in here?" He spied the hourglass in her hands and his eyes widened. "Where did you get that?"
Ginny just looked on in shock. "...Harry, you sent me a note and told me to come to the Room of Requirement, and I did.
When I got here there was nothing but a note and this timeturner and this wierd dagger. The not was from Luna, she said the
dagger was yours. That it belonged to your ancestor or something wierd like that. But I lost that note. I still have yours
though." She pulled it out of her robes and gave it to him. "I'm not going insane am I? And what are you three doing
all sleeping together in here? and in the same bed, like that. It looked like the three of you had just..."
Harry's eyes widened even more, and he blushed. "No," he whispered vehemently, still trying not to wake the others, "It was
nothing like that. They were just trying to help me with, with my nightmares. You know, the ones with Voldemort. But I
don't remember writing this note, Ginny, and it looks like my future or past self did it so you would end up here now for
some reason. But look, I'm still very tired, and I needed to go to the bathroom and get back to bed." he said and then
yawned, walking towards a door on the left wall which she hoped was the bathroom. He stopped and turned before closing the
door, and said "Anyway, Gin, you can sleep over with us if you want, just, I want the spot next to Hermione, okay?" He then
winked at the now blushing Ginny and shut the door behind him. Suddenly she was almost annoyed with the fact that this was
not anything sexual and realized she would have to sleep in her clothes she was wearing as she didn't have any of her things
there with her. She turned back to the fire and suddenly there were a pair of pj's there waiting for her. She smirked.
"A girl could get used to living in this room." and she quickly changed into them and climbed into the bed next to Luna, just
as Harry was walking back towards the bed, laying his glasses on the nightstand next to it, and climbing carefully over
Hermione to position himself between her and Ginny. Then, Hermione rolled over in her sleep and snuggled in closer to Harry,
making him smile and snake his arm around her waist. He was out within seconds. Ginny then lay there wondering how she had
gotten into this position and finally gave in and started to drift off, as if the ceiling was hypnotizing her into sleeping.
She copied Harry and Snaked an arm around Harry and shortly after she drifted off to sleep, and knew no more.
A/N: sorry about that, it's just my brother keeps making jokes about that 'knew no more' line and I just had to use it.
It's too funny. Next time they'll probably try to work out just what is going on and I'll be mean to them and confuse the
situation even more by having the others show up. Isn't this fun? I think it is.
