A/N: Okay another chapter for you all. I am just gonna try to put out as many chapters as possible before I end up stopping.

Also, I finally planned out all the chapters and there will probably be 11 more until the end of this part. (So till about Chapter 28 for those of you who don't want to do math.) Anyways, there will definitely be a part two to this story and if you have requests for stuff you want to see throughout the story then let me know. I already have some of it planned, but I am always open for new ideas. As for this story, Part 1, it is pretty much written, at least in my head. Oh and as always, if you have any special ships you would like to see let me know. (Besides Draco/Hermione). The only ship I have for sure is a Blaise/Ginny one.

WOW! I was amazed by the views I got. I didn't honestly expect that many.

CHAPTER 17

That morning Hermione woke up and noticed her teddy bear on the floor. She quickly scooted to the end of the bed and picked it up. She then rolled back over and realized she was sharing her bed with just her precious teddy bear. She quickly looked over to Draco's bed and noticed him sleeping there.

As Hermione was pondering why Draco left her, McGonagall came through the door to get the children up for school. After she left and Draco and Hermione were left to get ready on there own, Hermione decided to question Draco on why he left her, since she could not come to a conclusion herself.

"Why did you leave?" she asked.

Draco looked at her, confusion clearly evident on his face. "What are you talking about? I'm still here."

"No, I mean, why did you leave my bed last night?" clarified Hermione.

"I dunno. I had to go to the bathroom, so I went, and I guess I just went back to my bed," mumbled Draco.

"Oh," responded Hermione.

The two then finished getting ready for the day. All the while, Draco was wondering if what he did was right. He figured Hermione just needed him to fall asleep and since she did, he was therefore kicked out of her bed. After all, his father always told him a big boy always sleeps in his own bed.

------------------------------------------------------

"Professor Lupin, you said you wanted to see me?" asked the Headmaster.

After lunch he had taken Hermione and Draco with him to Professor Lupin's room.

"Yes, Sir, I was meaning to speak with you about, well, the two in your company," answered Lupin.

"Very well." Dumbledore then turned to Draco and Hermione and asked them to go play with the toys they had brought with them.

Once the children had left the two adults alone, Professor Lupin quickly took charge of the discussion.

"I recently went back to the site of the accident and have uncovered all the spells used. From what I have found from research, there is no spell or potion that I know that can rectify the situation we are now faced with."

"Do you have a list compiled of the spells used?" asked Dumbledore.

"Yes, of course." Lupin then went to his desk and retrieved a paper with the spells on it for Dumbledore.

"Hmmm," mumbled Dumbledore.

"What is it, Sir?" asked Lupin.

"It seems, all the spells used were harmless spells, well they could cause harm, but they were simple spells that have no long term damage," explained Dumbledore.

Lupin simply nodded and waited patiently for Dumbledore to continue.

"We should be able to make the potion Aetas Communtabilis and administer it as soon as possible to the children. I do believe I will set a meeting up with Professor McGonagall and Professor Snape tonight to discuss this. I would appreciate it if you were in attendance."

"Of course, Sir," answered Lupin.

----------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, while Dumbledore and Lupin were talking, Hermione and Draco were having a discussion of their own.

"Does it seem weird that we are the only kids here?" asked Hermione.

"No," answered Draco.

"Really?"

"Well, yeah. There are plenty of times I am left with people who have no children," answered Draco.

"Don't you have friends to go play with?" asked Hermione.

"Of course I have playmates. But when Father and Mother go on long trips, they leave me in the care of people who normally don't have children."

"Why is that?"

"I never asked."

"Why not?"

"I dunno. Would've been rude to second guess my father."

"Oh."

The two then continued playing Candyland.

"Why do the grown-ups always seem to be talking about us?" asked Hermione again.

"I dunno, they just like to, I guess."

"Don't you find it rude that they don't let us stay with them while they talk about us?"

Draco looked at Hermione appalled. "Of course not. Children are seen and never heard."

"Since when?" asked Hermione.

"Since ever," answered Draco, although he wasn't sure of the answer.

"Well, I can talk whenever I want with my parents," stated Hermione smugly.

Draco thought about that idea. He could never see himself doing that. 'Father would be angry with you if you did,' he thought to himself. 'But, that is weird how Hermione can just talk. I wish I could do that.' Draco was then pulled out of his thought by Hermione telling him it was his turn to go.

----------------------------------------------

"Blaise, where are you! I need to talk to you!" bellowed Pansy as she came into the common room.

Blaise, who was sitting in the common room, realized he could not escape Pansy this time, but on his best I-dislike-you-very-much face, and waited for her to find him.

However, Pansy wandering around the common room shouting Blaise's name. Blaise simply sat on the couch he was occupying, staring at Pansy in disbelief. 'She is blind,' was all Blaise could think.

After watching Pansy go to the hallway that led to the boys' dormitories and yell his name, he decided to end the display of stupidity that she was putting on.

"Pansy, I am right here," stated Blaise.

"Oh, I didn't see you there," responded Pansy.

"Obviously," mumbled Blaise. When he heard some younger years snicker he quickly glared at them. They quickly went back to what they were doing.

"What do you want Pansy?" asked Blaise.

"I came to talk to you about Draco."

Blaise just rolled his eyes and waited for Pansy to continue. When Pansy finally got the hint, she did continue.

"So I figure, we can tell Dumbledore how those Gryffindorks messed up everything with Draco and the mudblood. Then we can get Potter and those other people in trouble. So what do you think?"

"Um, Pansy, where in that plan of yours do you help Draco?" questioned Blaise.

"Oh, well, I guess I forgot about that part. Ok, pretend I never told you anything and let me go find a place for that in my plan."

"Pansy, before you go rake your brainless, well brain, let me point out that Dumbledore will not listen to the ramblings you gave me, and I wouldn't refer to Hermione as a mudblood in anyone's presence. You do remember the war is over, and we are supposed to be getting over those ridiculous segregations."

"You can't be serious Blaise!"

"Oh? And what if I am?"

"Then I think you need to find yourself a new partner."

"Ok."

"Now think long and hard before you make that decision Zambini. Are you ready to lose me as your partner to follow some stupid school rules?"

"Yes."

"Blaise, you didn't even think about it!"

"Didn't need to," answered Blaise nonchalantly.

"Fine. Be that way. I will fix this situation all by myself."

"Pansy! There is nothing for you to fix. Everything is being taken care of."

"Ha, I caught you in the act. I saw you with those do-gooders in the library. You're just trying to set me back so you and those losers can look good. Well, listen to me bucko! I will not let you ruin my plans!"

"There is nothing to ruin Pansy, you have nothing in the way of plans! Don't you get it!"

"Wait until Draco hears what you are doing. Siding with Potter and his losers before me. He is gonna be so angry with you!"

"He would rather me do that, than work with you on restoring him back to his seventeen year old self!"

All that came out of Pansy was a sound much like a banshee shriek. Once she calmed enough to speak, she continued.

"Well I will make sure to let everyone know that you have turned soft, gone to the good side. What happened to the death eater in you!"

Blaise then became outraged. "I was never a death eater, nor would I have ever been one!"

Pansy just stared at Blaise in disbelief, while Blaise continued his rant.

"Get over it Pansy. The war is over, purebloods, half bloods, and muggleborns are starting to get along now. Sides are blending. You and a bunch of older pureblood wizards are the only ones that haven't gotten he memo. No matter how hard you try you can't fight what is happening. And Iwill continue to hang out and work side by side with Potter, no matter who you threaten to tell!"

With that final remark, Blaise got up and left to common room. He had places to go and people to see.

------------------------------------------------

"So now that you are caught up on Remus's findings and my conclusion, do you believe you can brew this potion?" asked Professor Dumbledore to Snape.

"It shouldn't be hard, Sir, especially since I have access to all the supplies," answered Snape looking at the list of ingredients.

After a moment of silence, Snape continued. "This potion requires time to brew. It won't be done till a couple days before Halloween. And we need to administer it on a full moon."

"The next full moon is Halloween night," answered Lupin.

"Well, as long as the potion is done before Halloween, we can administer it that night," concluded McGonagall.

"As much as I dislike leaving Mr. Malfoy and Miss Granger in their six year old counterparts, I believe this is the best we can do. They will just have to continue on as they are now for another three weeks," summarized Dumbledore.

The three professors pondered over what Dumbledore said, before he concluded the meeting. Once the professors were gone Dumbledore pondered the events to himself.

"Three weeks is a long time indeed," he said to no one but himself, his blue eyes twinkling more than they had in a long time.

END OF CHAPTER 17

Hey guys, I know that was a short chapter, but if you couldn't tell by my writing, I was struggling trying to get it out. Like I had the ideas, the just wouldn't let them be typed. Besides this is just like a chapter to finish off what I was working on so I can move on.

Oh and sorry for lack of Draco and Hermione. I wanted to add in the other components to the story. Oh and those of you who predicted the teachers would find them, well sorry. As much fun as that would be to write, I have other plans. And I really don't care to be one of those too predictable writers. I like having some twists.

So anyways, this chapter took me all day to write. I would write some and then leave and come back and write more, so I just wanted to let you know that through my sitting here figuring out what to write, I have decided to end this at Chapter 28. So the countdown is on until the end of Childhood Pasts (Part 1). And then it starts all over again with Childhood Presents (Part 2). In all honesty, there might even be a third part, but I won't discuss that till I start Part 2 and you guys get a feel for where I am going.

Anyways, I am gonna upload this and then continue on with my night. Thank you all for reading, and let me know what you think of the story (sorry if this chapter sucked, the story should pick up again next chapter), um and on the other comments I posted. Thanks all.

Oh and for those of you who actually take not of the potions and their names, Aetas is age and Communtabilis is change. Both are in Latin.
