Chapter 12: Where Are We?

Dragon and Mat looked around the Great Hall, it was breakfast, but no one looked familiar. "Dragon, where the hell are we?"

"The question isn't where are we? We are obviously in the Great Hall, but this isn't our time period." Dragon quickly pulled Mat onto the bench of the Ravenclaw table since both were wearing Ravenclaw robes.

"Hello, are you two new?" One of the Ravenclaw's asked, they looked like first years.

"Yeah, we're transfers, we were home schooled." Mat said, remembering the training he had gone through just in case something like this had happened.

"That's cool, I'm Sarah-Anne Perks, this is my friend Terry Boot." Sarah said, introducing herself and the guy to her right.

"I'm Derek Shepard, and this is George O'Malley, nice to meet you." Dragon said, shaking Sarah's hand.

"Derek huh, you seem familiar."

"I just have one of those faces. Sorry to cut this short, but George and I have to go to class now." Dragon grabbed Mat's hand and pulled him out of his seat.

"Look it's Scar head and Weaslebee, have you two set a wedding date yet?"

"Shut it Malfoy!" Ron yelled, getting ready to punch Draco.

"Very clever Weasle. Come on Crabbe, Goyle."

"Oh fuck Dragon."

"Shush, library now. I'll explain as best as I can, and I'm Derek Shepard, you're George O'Malley, get it?" Mat nodded.

"We really need to get you unaddicted to Grey's Anatomy, or at least you could have made me Alex." Mat whispered.

"Harry, do you want to explain why I have a hostage situation on my hands?" Remus asked, walking up with Alohov and the Magical SWAT team.

"Dragon and Mat disappeared into thin air out of the Great Hall. Which in case you didn't know IS HUMANLY IMPOSSIBLE!" Harry yelled. "And one of these children know something about it."

"Harry calm down. Now, think about it, Severus, Lucius, Chastity, and Draco all have the extra potions ingrediants, cauldrons, and every other potions making thing including those that are owled or came with the students luggage secured in some secret potions room, under heavy spells and locking charms. Therefore it had to have been made in the Potions class. For the effect to happen as quickly as it did, it had to have been made recently." Alohov said, "now anyone who hasn't had potions in two days should be released Harry. Let's limit down the amount of hostages before a panic arises."

"Harry, hun, breathe." Draco came as quick as he could. The Potions classroom had been a mess, "now do as Alohov said."

"Anyone who has not had potions in the past two days may go to your class, your professors minus Professor Malfoy Jr. and myself will be right behind you. Our classes have been cancelled until further notice." Harry said, coding those with clear schedules.

"Now, let's sit dowon and go through your lesson plan Draco. I'll call Lucius, Severus, and Chastity and we'll go through this with a fine tooth comb."

"You can't get Chast. She's restricted to bed rest because of the early birth almost killing her, but Zabini's here he knows potions just as well as Chastity."

"Right, I'll track them down, Draco go get your lesson plan, and Remi keep him calm. We don't need the castle to crumble." Alohov said, before Draco and himself left the Great Hall.

"So your saying this is Harry and Draco's first year. How did we get here? Did we fall through a pensive? Get stuck in a time turner thing?"

"No, Pensieves don't allow you to interact. Time turners have to be placed around you, and they travel with you. This was a time travel charm or potion. Look, N.E.W.T.s are important to you, study go on. I'll research this time travel stuff, I'll figure something out for housing." Dragon said, pointing towards the bookshelves. 'What have I got Mat into? Fuck!' Dragon thought, before going towards the time travel books.

"Okay Draco this is all of your lesson plans for the past two days for all seven years." The head of the SWAT asked.

"Yes, however I think we can let the first years go."

"Let me see that." Lucius said, reaching for the first year lesson plan.

"What exactly are we looking for?" Severus asked, walking up to the table. The rest of the group just stared at him.

"I guess we should really start there. Does anyone on your SWAT team know where to start Alohov?" Harry asked.

"Demetrius might have a clue, if we knew exactly what happened it would be so much easier. Are we sure it wasn't a charm someone hit them with?"

"One of us would have noticed the color of the spell flying through the air, and the charm would have worn off. Plus, Dragon would have been able to sense and block the spell."

"Is it possible to detect postions, like we can for the residue of spells?" Remus asked.

"Yes, Blaise weren't you saying Stephen was a muggle Chemistry teacher?" Chastity asked, coming into the Great Hall.

"I thought we-"

"Severus if you don't want to spend the rest of your life on the couch in the dungeons, I'd shut up. I promised to protect my cousin's, and that means all of them, including Dragon. We can pull the hospital bed in here. We'll need a bunsen burner, a few Q-tips, and then anything Dragon might have ate, drank, or had food on. Such as goblets, spoons, forks, knives, plates, if he shares these with Mat then we'll need those too."

"Whose Stephen." Everyone asked confused.

"My son, I'll explain later. Right now, why don't we focus on getting everything Chastity has told us."

"How's the research coming?" Mat asked, a few hours laters, taking a break from studying.

"Well, it has something to do with the potion we made in class, just not our potion. Strawberry butterberr is tart but-"

"The new kid, he must have done something."

"Come on, it should be lunch time, why don't we go and eat then we-"

"Be as careful as hell not to change the future by meddling in the past?" Mat asked, putting his books away.

"Wait that's it! If we tell somebody in the past, they'll remember it in the future!" Dragon said, looking at Mat.

"Dragon, who would we tell that wouldn't repeat it to Harry or Draco in this time?" Mat asked, trying to get Dragon to notice the truth.

"You've always been like your dad."

"What?"

"You've always been like your dad. Dumbledore told me that when I was five."

"So?" Mat asked totally confused.

"My dad, he's always been loyal to Dumbledore. ALWAYS. Plus, I was five how could I have always been. Wouldn't I be like my dad? Not always have?"

"Do you think he in the future knows about us from the future in the past trying to get back to the future?"

"Yes, let me think of what happened first year. Dumbledore was mysteriously summoned to the Ministry of Magic the night dad went after the stone, but that doens't make sense."

"Sure it does, he was always called there."

"No, it doesn't make sense because if he Floo'd there and found he wasn't needed then why did it take all day for him to get back? He knew it was a diversion because he got Harry out of the chamber. He had to be pre-occupied with something else at the time right?"

"Amazingly Drag, that actually makes sense. I'm so proud of you." Mat made his way towards the Great Hall. Dragon stood there for a minute.

"Wait, hey that's not right!" Dragon yelled, running after him.

"Stephen, I know you just met your dad, but thank you for helping us out." Chastity said, carefully leaning over the bunsen burner and beaker.

"It's no problem. I mean I get to work with the famous Chastity Malfoy. Do you know the impact you've had on the medical community?"

"I have a fair idea. So, what made you decide tobecome a muggle chemistry teacher?"

"More complicated then potions. Hey, look at this." Stephen said, pointing towards one of the color changing beakers. It's the one we tested the goblet in." The beaker was turning red.

"This is great. So the potion was poured into their goblets."

"Just Dragon's, and we still don't know if it was poured in there while in the Great Hall, or while being prepared in the kitchens."

"Dobby prepares all of the Potter-Malfoy food. He'd never let that goblet out of his sight let alone poison is idols child."

"So, it's true, Dobby is infatuated with Mr. Potter." Stephen said, eyeing Chastity.

"Yeah. So, it must have been poured. That means all we have to do is take all the potions made from years two to seven in the past two weeks and test them all."

"Or we can limit it down, test the swab against other compounds. See which one has close to the same effect. Then compare the individual compounds to the potions."

"We'll get an exact match. That's ingenious."

"So, do you want to get coffee sometime? I'm cool with you having a child."

"I have two and a husband."

"Right, lucky man. I should complaiment him on making such a great choice."

"Someone complaiment Severus Snape. I think the world would stop rotating."

"You mean your children are the spawns of satan?"

"Let's work before you cut that thread you're thinlydangling on."

"Professor Dumbledore, we need to talk to you in your office." Dragon said, walking up to Albus in the corridor.

"Then lead the way Mr. Shepard." Dragon, Mat, and Dumbledore all went to Dumbledore's office.

"Lemon drop?"

"No thank you. We're in a lot of trouble and we have until ten tonight to fix it. That's about twenty mintes."

"Mr. Shepard, your perfectly safe here."

"Except I'm not Mr. Shepard."

"Who are you?"

"This is frustrating!" Dragon yelled, his nerves already on edge. His magic was going crazy and stuff in Dumbledore's office was begining to shake.

"Look at him closely." Mat said, knowing that if they were to tell Dumbledore who Dragon's parents really were, the headmaster would not believe him.

"Just at first glance I'd say you were a relative of Draco Malfoy, he's a first year here."

"That's partially correct, however look closer notice anything about the Malfoy hair and eyes?"

"Hair's messy, eyes, Harry and Lily Potter's eyes have the same emerald green. Who are you really?"

"Lord Dragon Potter-Malfoy. I live in the year 2006. This is my fiance Mathew Mcguire. Someone slipped a potion into my goblet and we were transported here, now we need to get back."

"Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Potter end up having a child?"

"Actually they get married and have a total of nine, though only five of them are Draco's. The other four are Oliver Wood's, but that's a long story. Look, we're hoping that telling you this now will help the future Dumbledore remember this to help our family get-" With another 'pop' Dragon and Mat disappeared from the Headmaster's office.
