Turning Back Time: Chapter 9
Harry got up from his bead in a quick movement, grimacing as his head hit the headboad at the back of his bed. He looked around the room, his eyes slightly squinting. But he could see learly. Everything arond him was perfectly visible, unlike what he used to see only a day before. He slightly pouted in confusion and did a small shrug and reached across his bed side table to retrieve his glasses. He got up, rubbong hisa eyes tiredly as he walked towards the bathroom sink. He gave a big yawn and cupped some water into his hands. He let the liquid spill down his face like a water fountain. As he brushed the water away from his face, his hands reached his hair. It felt smooth, as it usually did, but as his hands spred across his hair, his hands didn't go right through it. Instead he felt light curls, locks. Harry looked up in confusion and put his glasses on. He couldn't see anything. As he looked into his reflection his sight was blurry. He slowly slid the glasses off so they were losely hanging by his finger tips. The spectacles soon fell to the counter top as Harry looked back at what he saw in the mirrior in front of him. It wasn't Harry Potter... he didn't know what it was, but it wasn't him. Harry stared at the mirror blakly and stood silently for a few moments...
" WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS GOING ON!" he hollared across the hall, which awakened a frustated wrong.
" What are going on about?" Ron asked angrily, entering the bathroom. Neville miandured behind Ron into the washroom. Ron stared wide-eyed at a slightly shorter, ringlet and sandy-blonde handsome young man; who was pacing across the room, mumbling under his breath manically. Harry stopped in his tracks and faced Ron's and Neville's direction.
" Look at me!" he said, moving his arms frantically in the air. Ron looked at hair up and down and slightly nodded " So you got a hair due... I like it..." Harry scoweled at Ron.
" I did NOT get a hairdue!" he said in an annoyed fashion. " I just woke up and I was... different... It makes no sense..." he said, rubbing his hands through hs hair.
" But your eyes are the same..." Neville said, pointing towards Harry's face. Harry looked up and into the mirror. He moved in closer to get a better look. Sure enough, the same emeral, almond shape brilliant eyes were still on Harry's face, but everything else was different...his jaw had a different shape, now. It wasn't quiet so brouad and square, but now moe angular and curved. Harry had to admit, his new looks matched his brilliant green eyes perfectly. Harry took one last look of his new self and then grabbed Ron by the arm and pulled him along the building Neville following behid them...
"He-Hem," coughed Harry as he knocked on the doorway entering the dining hall where members of the Order sat.
" Yes, Harry. Is there anything we can help you with?" asked a cheery Mrs.Weasley.
" Oh, umm...do you know where Lupin is?" Harry then heard a muttering from behind a corner " I'll be with you in a moment, Harry..." Harry could only hear Lupin's voice. He was breathing heavily as he spoke. A moment later, Lupin came out from behind the corner and adjusted his bow-tie from side to side. Ron put his hand over his mouth as Lupin approached him and Harry. Ron was trying best not to laugh out of his wits. Lupin looked at Ron quizically. " What's wrong?" he asked timidly. Harry slightly smiled and bit his top lip from trying to keep his laughter back.
" Well... Your face is... it, well... have a look for yourself." he tried saying without laughing. Tonks stood behind Lupin with her hands on her hips. She had a look of satisfaction on her face. She smiled as Harry said these words. Lupin slightly fowned and turned to look in the mirror. On Lupin's lips there were lipstick lip marks all over his face. He looked at the mirror, annoyed. That's why they were laughing... ugh... I guess that's what I get for being Tonk's boyfriend... thought Lupin as he did a heavy sigh.
" What can I help you boys with?" Lupin asked after he washed his face, acting like nothing had just happened. " What-What happened to your hair, Harry?" Lupin asked in confusion, rather surprised.
" Well, that's it." Harry stated. " I woke up and I had this hair and a different face, but my eyes are... they're..."
" Lily's eyes." Lupin answed for Harry.
" Exactly. And I don't need my glasses anymore. But I feel the same..."
" It sounds like you've lost all of James's traits..." thought Lupin a loud, stroking his chin as he thought.
" Do you boys know where Ginny , Hermione and Luna are?" asked Mrs. Weasley intterupting their conversation. Ron and Harry shook their heads to say no. " I haven't seen them all day long, I do hope they're alright..." she mumbled worried.
" I think we should do some research to figure this out..." said Neville, continuing on with their conversation. The others nodded and headed for the library.

Once they reached the library, Harry and Ron took a seat. Neville had headed for the herbology section and began mutterig about various plants. Lupin, however went searching in a different part of the library.
A few moments later, Lupin came back with a book. The title was scratched u but they could read that it said: "Time Travel" . They flipped to the front cover. Lupin stopped turning a pge as his eyes glanced over small writing in the top corner of the top page.
" Other copy found in library." Neville read a loud over Lupin's shoulder. Lupn shrugged his shoulders and moved to the table of contents.
" Why are we looking at this book, Sir?" Ron asked in confusion. Lupin didn't reply and kept on turning the pages. Neville, Harry and Ron stared at each other in confusion. Once Lupin reached the place in the book he was looking for he turned to the boys.
" By the sounds of it, Harry, I think something's been changed in the course of time." Lupin then stopped talking when he saw Ron looking wide-eyed at the book. Beside the book's contents there was some writing. It seemed like a recipe. There was a heading at the top which was underlined and underneath that were amounts of ingrediants needed. It was a formula for a potion. The writing was in black ink .
" What's wrong, Ron?" Neville asked, peering over the book.
" Tha- That's Hermione's writing..." Ron whispered in response.
" Doesn't Hermione always put the date of when she writes something?" asked Harry. Ron nodded and pointed at a spot on the paper. His hand was slightly quivering. Harry's eyes widened.
" October 26, 1977...?" he murmured in disbelief.
" It seems like Hermione's traveled in time..." said Lupin.
" Wait... we have to make sure about this..." murmured Harry, concerned.
Neville faced the book and began reading aloud" " If you change a person by meddling with time, not much will change that person.There personality will be the same as they were before the change. They will never really change their personality. All I which will change will be their appearance. This of course is only if the mother had the child with a different person then before." Neville read "On the day of the change, the person will recognize the transformation. If they are clever enough, they may go back and try to re-do time again." The others looked at each other in confusion.
" Wait. Look at this." Lupin pointed at the book and then began reading another section of the book " "In order to break the curse and go back in time, you must bring at least one person back from the future by their own will. Then you must brew a potion, the potion is called " curse of love" , you must take a sip from the potion, with you hands connected to the being from the future. The potion will take 8 months to brew. The potion will not work unless you do one thing. You must break a curse, that was still wished upon a person before you went back in time. The curse however, must be broken by true love." They looked blankly at the book, not sure what all of this meant.
The others stared at each other. "Does this mean that my- that my Mom and Dad aren't together...?" he said bewildered.
" This might not necisarilly be the reason, Harry..." Ron muttered.
" What if Hermone did this so she could lure us there?" Neville asked, referring back to the section of the book that he just read. The others nodded. Lupin just stared at the paper. If she's not with James and if Harry looks a ot like me when I was young, then does that mean... He looked away from the paper and continued on.
" It seems to all fit too well..." Lupin said, trying to escape his thoughts.
" You only have one day." Ron said solemly " One day and then everything will be different..."
" Unless we go back in time." said Harry in determination " Then time would stop here, unless we changed time again. To the way it was before." he said, looking into the pages of the book.
" And if Hermione's there... We have to bring her back..." whispered Ron.
" Do you think Luna and Ginny would be with Hermione if she is there?" Neville asked.
" It is odd that they would all be missing at the same time..."
"But why would they go back in time in the first place?" Harry said, his head in his hands.
" I don't know..." was the response they came up with.
" Well, it's the best thing we've got, isn't it?" Ron asked, trying to smile, but couldn't. Harry tried to persist and kept on looking for other things.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
They looked for other ways to restore Harry for hours, but couldn't find a thing.
" Harry." Lupin said sternly " I think you should go back in time and try to stop this." he said " I'm almost sure that that's the reaso for this..."
" But what if it isn't, Lupin?" he said frantically " What if it isn't and we an't come back, then what-"
" We can prevent that." he replied with a straight face. " We can make a time portal or Time portkey." He said simply. Harry looked at him in confusion.
" I was learnt to make them when I was young." he said " It's like porkey except it not only takes youn somewhere else, but it also takes you to some other time." he said. " Wghenever you want to ome back you just touch the object and poof you're back." Harry nodded. " Alright then."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
A few moments later, Lupin came back with a brief case. " These things belonged to your mother and Father." said Lupin, handing the briefcase to Harry. "You should take them, or they might... change, you know?" Harry nodded and took the case. Lupin btought a book out from behind his back.
" This was the potion journal or notes book your parents worked on in seventh year. That was the main reason they fell in love..." Lupin said, handing the book to Harry. " I jinxed this to be the time portkey. Just touch it and your there. November first, 1977." Harry nodded and looked at Ron and Neville.
" Are you two coming?" he asked hopefully. The boys nodded " Of course, Harry." neville said with a smile. "We wouldn't leave you. I am your best friend, remember?" Ron laughed. Harry nodded and looked at the blackleather- covered book. Before he was about to touch it he felt a hand on his shoulder.
" Harry, don't do anything drasti. If, at all costs, you have to change things like the way you are now, then jeep it. Just... be safe..." his grip tighted and then pulled away from his shoulder. Harry looked meekly up and lupin and nodded. " Don't worry..." he said and with that the three boys took hold of the leather bound book and disappeared.
" So that's what my son would look like..." though Lupin a loud. He smiled in approval. "Not bad..."

Hermione sat on the gryffindor couch, her knees tucked up to her chest. I know who did it... who did that spell... but I can't tell... he's my friend... Severous is my- wait... why am I calling him " Severous"? Ugh... I just wish Ron was- Hermione had lost her train of thought. In front of her were three boys. She reconized two of them but the other one only seemed firmiliar. They were caught in a storm of coughs. They brushed themselves off as the smoke began to go away. Hermione slightly backed away. This can't be happening... I'm just dreaming again... yes... another dream... Then a boy with bright ginger hair came up to her.
" Hermione?" Ron asked, hopefully. Hermione's eyes widened. He was here. He was actually here.
" R-R-Ron?" she stuttered in amazement.
Ron just smiled and nodded " How did you get here?" she asked quickley " Did our plan work...?" she glanced over Ron's sholder over at Harry " I t worked!" her face lighted up. " Harry! You look just like Remus but, but with Lily's eyes! It worked!" Hermione couldn't contain her joy.v She bgan dancing in circle around the room, swinging Ron around in her arms. she stopped seeing now how foolish she looked. There was silence for a moment. Harry just looked at the floor in confusion.
" Ron." Hermione addressed, looing into Ron's eyes. " It's been two months that I haven't seen you and I realize that I- that I-" she could hardly contain herself from the tears spilling down her face. " That I can't live without you. I think I- I think I-"
" Love you." Ron answered for Hermione, looking into her eyes. Hermione nodded and began crying into Ron's chest. But this time they weren't cries of sorrow, but cries of joy.
