Memories of Ced

Chapter 2

Shocker! Future Ginny is Awesome!

Draft 1

"Um...I'm sorry?" I said, slowly backing up. 'Great. Kaitlyn was coming at me with a knife, and Jordan looks like she's gonna strangle me...' I frantically thought for a plan. Something to make them stop. Thankfully, Cho saved me from thinking of a plan so quickly.

"We're here." Cho said, still puffing away on her cigarette. "Hogsmede. Everybody out." Thanking my lucky stars, I exited, well ran out of, the Knight Bus, Kaitlyn and Jordan following. As we walked towards The Three Broomsticks, the Knight Bus zoomed off.

"Well, we might as well get a drink!" I said, hurrying towards the tavern.

"Ah-hem." With a look of boredom on her face, Kaitlyn turned to me. "We have no wizarding money, in case you've forgotten."

"Also," Jordan added, looking rather worried, "isn't GoF set in 1994? This is 2005."

"This is a predicament." Kaitlyn added, biting her lip. "It's not like we can just summon an ATM here..."

"Well why not?" I said, smiling. "I tricked the Knight Bus, so maybe I can summon an ATM! Or at least a Gringotts!" As I handed Kaitlyn my bookbag, Jordan just looked at me strangely.

"Hello? Tricked the Knight Bus? That means you didn't use magic! You can't summon an ATM!" Jordan replied, face red.

"Why do I have your bookbag?" Kaitlyn muttered.

"Watch me." I replied, smiling coyly. As I pulled out the flashlight + wand/chopstick, I undid the wand/chopstick from the flashlight. Doing a fancy bit of waving around and twirling, I pointed the wand in a random direction. Unfortunately, the direction was up. "Accio ATM!" Nothing. Again. As usual.

"You're not a witch." Kaitlyn said, rubbing her head.

"ACCIO ATM!" I yelled, on my last nerve. Suddenly, plowing down from the sky, came an ATM. "Yay!" I yelled happy. "Oh, I'm so aweso-SMOOSH." The ATM landed on top of me with a thud. Killjoy.

And Katie died. Seriously. Not joking. The funeral's tomorrow. Okay, so maybe I'm joking. What really happens, is the story switches to Kaitlyn's Point of view.

"Hoo-rah." I said, looking down at the ATM. "Hoo-rah..."

"Least we have an ATM." Jordan said, shrugging. "It would be a bit more ironic though if Katie, now apparently a witch, was wearing ruby red slippers. Instead, she's wearing her beat up white New Balances."

"Ding dong, the witch is unconscious." I muttered, walking up to the ATM. Now begins the incredibly fun process of trying to find out how to work the ATM. I read the screen aloud, trying to make sense of the directions.

"With the inserting spell, insert your coins...oh heck." This wasn't going good.

"Push that button that says Muggle." Jordan said, pointing at a red button. Shrugging, I pushed the button.

"With the inserting spell, insert your money in the small faruna slot drive. What's a slot drive?" I said, raising an eyebrow.

"What's faruna?" Jordan said, poking the ATM. "Is it a color?"

"Oh, I can help you there." said a high female voice. Jordan and I spun around, then emitted high fangirlish screams.

"OH MY GOD! GINNY WEASLEY!" we both screamed simultaneously. "It's you!" Ginny smiled.

"It's me, although now I'm Ginny Potter." I laughed a haughty laugh, a triumphant laugh, a 'ha-ha I was so right' laugh. "Anyway, when I saw your friend over there having trouble with a spell, I decided to help her out."

"Ding dong, the Muggle is unconscious." Jordan said, sighing. "Wait till she hears this."

"Anyway, just give me your money, and I'll get this sorted out!" Ginny said, winking. As we handed her our money (plus Katie's we fished out of her bookbag), she smiled. "Mmkay. Insertus!" The money flew inside the teller machine. "Operatus!" The ATM buzzed and whirred, then finally spit out their Galleons/Sickles/Knuts.

"Thanks!" Jordan said, blushing a bit. I was in shock. 'Future Ginny is awesome!' "By the way," Jordan said, blushing some more. "What do you do...for a job I mean."

"Oh." Ginny smiled. "I'm an Auror." 'Scratch 'future Ginny's awesome', future Ginny owns all!' My jaw had about dropped to the floor.

"G-Ginny." I sputtered, "D-Do you know how we can t-travel back in time about 11 years?"

"Dearie..." Future Ginny thought for a second, before smiling a bright radiant smile. " 'Mione still has her Time Turner! She could put a jinx on it in order to make it faster!"

"Great, where's Hermione?" Jordan said going from happy, to sort of ticked. "This can't take too long..."

"She's staying at our pad. Hold on a second." She Apparated with a pop.

"Great!" I said, smiling. "How long can this take?"

Swapsies! Jordan PoV! I'm bold AND italics! Ha-ha!

"Retract my last statement." I said after an hour of waiting. "This can take long...and Sleeping Beauty awakens."

"What the hell..." Katie stood up, groggy. "My-DUDE! Didja see my magic? I was so awesome!" She jumped around, singing. "ON TOP OF SPAGHETTI! ALL COVERED WITH CHEESE! I LOST MY POOR MEATBALL! WHEN SOMEBODY SNEEEEEEZED!"

"Do we have the heart to tell her?" Kaitlyn asked, leaning near me. "She could get hurt..."

"This'll be funny!" I said grinning. "Let's keep her like this! Heck, we could use a laugh!"

"Oh yeah!" Katie stopped jumping, snatched her bag back and pulled out a tape recorder. "Ta dah! The interview with Cho! I got it on the bus!"

"Well, let me read!" I said, lunging for the recorder. We did. Lordy, that girl can cry. She's got lungs of steel or something. Hoo-boy...still stuck in the present.

Double swapsies! Back to Katie!

"So...inventory check!" I yelled, smiling. Kaitlyn and Jordan just looked at me oddly. "You brought purses right? Well, we'll check what's in our purses, and pool our resources!"

"Good to me." Jordan said sitting down on the grass. Kaitlyn followed suit. "I have a tube of cherry flavored lip gloss, a comb, a crumpled up note Katie passed me in Social Studies, and a copy of Pride and Prejudice." Jordan relayed, looking into her purse.

"A copy of "Taught me Purple", half a roll of Starbursts, innumerable Hershey Hugs wrappers, my notebook, and a broken pencil." Kaitlyn said, rummaging through her pack. "Oh yeah, and a steak knife."

"A tape recorder, with two spare tapes, a notepad, a few Tootsie Rolls, my wand/chopstick, a flashlight, Les Miserables, and Lola, my rock." I said, smiling.

"You brought Lola?" Jordan said, looking at me. "Why?" Just then, Ginny came running back, holding Hermy's Time-Turner.

"Got...it." she puffed. "Turn...it...back 3 times...shake it 11...times." Ginny wheezed.

As I shook the Time-Turner, Jordan turned to Ginny. "Why are you doing this?" she asked. "You're just trusting some street kids with a crap load of Muggle money!"

"I read your mind." Ginny said point blank. "I'm a skilled Legitamens."

"WHAT!" I yelled. "That's playing-" Poof. We were time traveling.

Let's do the Time Warp agaaaaaaain! Our feisty trio has successfully traveled back 11 years to go to interview students! And-dang it, I'm just italics! Aw, crap...anyhoo, Jordan PoV!

"1994 is so...big." I muttered, staring out at the castle. Of course, we were still in Hogsmede, but a giant castle? Come on, it was so huge!

"Let's go!" Katie yelled, running down the path. Sighing, I followed her, Kaitlyn behind me.

"How come we can see it?" Kaitlyn mused. "We're Muggles..."

"Good question." I mused, trying to catch up with Kaitlyn. "Couldn't only wizards see it?"

"Well, maybe since we have wizarding knowledge we can see it." Kaitlyn said, smiling.

"Maybe...how do we get in? The front door?"

How DO they get in? Who knows? Will they be okay? Why am I not bold! Somebody make me bold please...
