Chapter 13: Traveling through the Future through the Past
"Severus, I just remembered something important. When Harry and Draco were in their first year, Dragon and Mat showed up. Something was wrong, but before I could get anything out of them, they disappeared out of my office with a pop." Albus said, walking into the Great Hall, after being directed by members of the SWAT team.
"You couldn't have told us this earlier? Like before this inncident happened?"
"I have just obtained the memories." Albus said, sitting down next to Harry.
"You mean, you've never remembered them until now?"
"Exactly, I was at home playing a wonderful video game the muggles called pong, it's quite addicting and all of a sudden it hit me."
"Pong? Isn't that an old game?"
"Why yes it is Mr. Malfoy. However, I am getting on in my years."
"Draco pay attention, Albus said they went to him in our first year. He just remembered these memories, what happened in our second year Headmaster? You said they popped out of your office, did they show up in your office the next year?"
"No, they showed up in the Great Hall in your first year as Derek Sheppard and George O'Malley, and approached me in the corridor during dinner."
"Okay, well you stay there just in case you end up remembering something." Harry said, turning back to his lunch. He was still holding hostages, and would until Chastity and Stephen came back with new news.

"Extract of Salamander eyes, it must have beenan advanced potion." Stephen said, after testing the compound against the swab.
"That or a potions accident that just happened to work out. So we're looking at fourth year or above. Dragon's in fourth year and the class he was in was a mix of fourth and fifth years because Draco has to catch the fifth years up from last year. He was on trial and the other half of the time he was with a pregnant Harry so his classes were either cancelled or taught by someone else, however the fifth years were the most screwed over. So they have to take half a semester in the fourth year class and then cram the first semester and the second semester of the fifth year class into one semester. It's been a nightmare."
"Well, let's get this information over to the others. Hopefully the five of you can figure something out maybe one of the potions given salamander eyes could have created a time traveling potion."
"Let's hope so, if not we're back to square one, and we had nothing at square one." Chastity got up and with help from Stephen walked into the Great Hall. "Harry you have to release all second and third years."
"Fine, but if I find out one of them did it I'll have both your heads. All second and third years may go on with your scheduled class. Fourth through Seventh years, remain seated."
"Well that limits the hostages down a bit, however I can't wait until the parents start complaining."
"Well if you'd stop calling them hostages Alo, and call them juvenille deliquents chances are you won't have a problem. I'm not keep them against their will, they're free to go, we'd just know that they were guilty."
"Hostages Harry. Hostages." Alohov said, patting Harry's back.
"Anyways, Salamander eyes were put into the potion, so we need to sort through these and get rid of the ones that salamander eyes would have no effect on and get rid of more students."
"See, Stephen calls them students." Harry said, poking his tongue out at Alohov.
"Harry don't make me hit you." Alohov said, pulling second and third year lesson plans towards him and out of the pile of possible suspects.

"Great, the Great Hall again!" Mat said, looking around.
"What year is it?"
"Well, there's Harry over at the Gryffindor table, and Draco over on the Slytherin side. So I'm guessing their time."
"No shit Sherlock." Mat said, shaking his head. "Library?"
"Library." Dragon agreed, taking Mat's hand and walking towards the library. "What about going to Dumbledore?"
"Infront of all those people? Changing the future Dragon, not something we want to do. The more they forget about Derek and George the better. Plus, you always complained about getting to know your parents better, what's a better opportunity then this."
"Except I think they would notice if we were stalking them. Oh, and the fact that we 'don't want to screw up the future.'"
"It was a fucking suggestion geez."
"What is taking my parents so long?" Dragon asked, plopping down in the chair at the library and resting his head on his arms.
"We don't even know if talking to the past Dumbledore helped any. We have to figure something out, I know I know go study." Mat said, noticing the look Dragon was giving him.
"Come here. Look, I'm sorry that I'm being such a jerk, but I know better then anyone what is going on right now. The war with you-know-who is starting and if we keep progressing in years we will eventually work our way up to that final battle, and we will be able to be killed in the past. I don't want anything to happen to you, I even promised you that. I don't know what is happening with our son, if anyone is taking care of him, if anyone even notices we're missing. I don't even know if us being here has changed the future or switched us with two other past Hogwarts students. There are so many repercussions and it's all my fault, and I've dragged you into this now too. I have to at least figure out how to get you back safe even if that means I'm stuck in the past." Dragon said, pulling Mat into his lap. "Someone has to raise our son, and I'd rather it be you then some stranger."
"We will both get back Dragon. This isn't your fault." Mat said, kissing Dragon.
"Of course it is, someone wants me here for a reason."
"Come on, I'll give up one day of studying to help you."
"We don't know if it is one day, for all we know it's been a month or even year, or it could have been an hour. Time might be different, like in hell there is no time, one minute seems like eternity, but in heaven one minute seems like a second. You could be losing days of studying, and I don't want you to fail your O.W.L.s. Please baby."
"Okay, I'll go study, but please stop stressing."
"I'll try." Dragon kissed Mat deeply before getting up to go back and research what was going on.

"Izzy, you ink daddy and dad know bout Dragin and Mat?" Michael asked, playing with a toy truck.
"They get back safe, but Dragin eeds this. He understand after this. I gonna miss Mat."
"Yeah, me too." Micheal said, his smile going to a frown. "We help Mat, he get back we help him."
"Yay!" Elizabeth said, clapping her hands. She then went back to playing with her doll.

"Eureka!" Chastity said, jumping out of her seat.
"You mean she actually says that?" Stephen asked, looking at her.
"Oh yeah. It's quite cute, and she's the only one I know that does it." Lucius said, turning back to Chastity.
"What is it Chastity?" Harry asked, getting excited.
"The Fourth and Fifth year class, if you add Salamander eyes and think of a certain destination, they follow that time line before coming back here. However, the person who made it must have thought in general of Harry and Draco's school year. That means they will follow all seven of your years before the potion wears off. There's nothing we can do to bring them back here early unless we feed them the counter."
"Then we send it to them." Blaise said.
"How do you suggest we do that when we don't even know what school year they are in?"
"Good point, but we have Dumbledore here, they keep running to him."
"Yeah, a year late. He rememebers year one but hasn't said anything about year two, and we don't know how to send an inanimate object to them because the object would have to drink the original potion." Lucius said, shaking her head.
"Send me." Chastity looked up from the paper.
"No way Chast, you are in no condition to time travel. Plus, what if they are in the middle of the final battle? If a Death Eater saw you, they'd kill you." Severus said, get up and pacing.
"Yes, but everyone else at this table was at Hogwarts at the time besides Stephen, but we can't risk him he has obligations."
"As do you. You have two sons and me."
"Severus, this is non-negotiable. As in we aren't going to fight about it, I'm going or you're without a wife."
"I'd rather have a wife that's alive then one that's dead and stuck in the past."
"I will be fine. Harry limit down the hos-students to just the fourth and fifth years, we need to figure out who did it or if they have a clue as to who did it."
"All sixth and seventh years may go." Harry said, waiting for them to leave. "The rest of you sitting in here will do so until someone fesses up to either doing it or to knowing something about a botched potion and Salamander eyes."
"Please, you won't get in trouble we just need to know how to re-create the potion so we can bring Dragon and Mat back to us. If we don't, the future as you know it may end up being changed, some of you might become orphans, you might not even be born, or worse he-who-must-not-be-named could rule and Harry here could be lost to us forever."
"Professors, my lab partner accidentally dropped Salamander eyes into our potion, but we both cleaned it up. Remember Professor Malfoy? I dropped the potion and we scrubbed the floor and re-made it correctly?" William said, standing up.
"Come on up William, don't be afraid." Chastity encouraged, holding her hand out for the petrified boy. "What was your lab partners name?"
"Brad Pittsir."
"You don't happen to mean, Brad Pitt comma sir do you?"
"Well he was talking to Professor Sprout."
"Who was talking to Professor Flitwick." Blaise said, remembering the conversation.
"That's ri-oh."
"Brad Pitt is a muggle actor." Chastity explained to some of the more lost professors.
"Will Mr. Pittsir please come to the front, we just have a question about how you cleaned the potion off of the floor." Draco said, eyeing the boy. "Follow us." The professors went into the back room.
"What can I help you with?"
"You can start with your real name."
"Thomas Marvolo."
"Thomas Marvolo, as in Tom Marvolo Riddle?"
"Oh no Marvolo is my middle name, by my last name isn't Riddle, you've killed all of his relatives." Tom said, smiling. "The potion was the one we made in class today, but with seventeen Newt eyes. Now, if you don't mind I have to see if I succeeded in bringing a dark lord back and killing my two grandfather's." With that, Tom downed a potion and disappeared.
"Did he say what I think he said?"
"He's trying to bring back the Dark Lord."
"He went back to his time period?" Stephen threw in.
"NO! Let me quote him for a minute, 'and killing my two grandfathers!' Hello, he's trying to bring back the Dark Lord and his TWO GRANDFATHERS must be in the way of that."
"That would mean- That's not possible."
"One of your children, names their son Tom Marvolo whatever. Your grandson or great grandson becomes the next Dark Lord, or tries to at least.
"Well, it happens in the future, which means we still have a chance to change that."
"That's right, you two can have as many kids as you want, you just know now to keep an eye out. He's now changed the future."
"Well, we still have to stop Dragon and Mat from changing the past."
"That's another thing, why tell us exactly how many salamander eyes he's used. Something's off about that, I mean if he was trying to bring Voldemort back why tell us how to stop it?"
"Seventeen, that's it! He didn't, but if you write out seven-teen, the only number in there is seven. He used seven, seventeen would send you back a whole ten years, so you would be 2. We'd never be able to get to the kids in time."
"Now how the hell did you figure that out?" Draco asked, confused.
"The potion send you back however many salamander eyes you put in there. It's the seventh year's potion book, therefore if you took seventeen minus the seven years that Dragon and Mat are going through you'd have ten extra years, if you were 12 when you started first year minus the ten means you'd be two. The closer you are to the potion wearing off, the more days you spend in that intended area. Which means they have spent a day in first year, which only seemed like half a day to us. So, they have to be close to finishing both of yours second year."
"Great, so now they're running around the castle with a Basilisk." Draco said, placing his forehead on the table.
"Not to mention the memory of Lord Voldemort lose in a diary that's taken over Ginny Weasely. Sorry Blaise, I didn't."
"It's okay, we're just stating facts, I know Gin wasn't evil." Blaise said, finding his hands fascinating.
"How long does the potion take to make?"
"A class period, but we need to figure out which school year they're in so that we don't under or over shoot the amount of salamander eyes we put into the potion. So, we have to wait for Dumbledore to get his second year memories and put in five eyes."
"Why not four? We don't know how much of a time difference there is, if we put in four we'd end up in third year. I mean we don't know the time difference right?"
"Or we could put one in and wait."
"Let's just wait for Dumbledore to remember his memory." Remus said, hoping the old man would remember soon. "In the mean time, we need to let the students go now that we have the culprit."
"Fine, the wards are lifted students and SWAT team members can leave."
"Thank you. Situation averted, members go back to headquarters." Alohov said through the magical headset.

"Where are we going to sleep Dragon?" Mat asked, looking at his watch it was getting close to curfew.
"Room of Requirements I guess. Come on, I know where it is." Dragon took Mat's hand and led him up the moving staircases. He paced infront of the blank wall before a door appeared. "Hotel McGuire-Malfoy at your service." Dragon said opening the door.
Another door off to the side was the bathroom. "I'm going to take a shower and then go to bed, I'm really tired."
"Let's just hope we don't wake up in the Great Hall in our boxers." Dragon said, stripping his clothes off and falling into the bed.
"Right, let's hope." Mat said, shutting the bathroom door. After his shower, Mat went to bed fully clothed just in case. 'What if something happens to us? How could I not see that being with Dragon is dangerous, can I really go eighteen years and worry about my son being in trouble?' Mat thought before sleep claimed him.

D/N: In Honor of Goblet of Fire being released in the US (EVERYONE GO OUT AND BUY IT!) everyone here have decided to update this story, even though the chapter after the next chapter still isn't finished. Usually Kime posts the chapters after she finishes another one. However, it's becoming a very interesting chapter. Now, on with your wonderful and lovely reviews.
Adrianna: Are in intending to buy GOF? Please do. Yes Derek and George! I Just had to put Grey's Anatomy in there some how and I figured Bitcake and yourself would get a kick out of it. I root for George too, he's like the kicked puppy on that show. :(. The time travel part if you want to email me, I'll try to help you get it off the ground if you'd like. I have a story that I'm thinking of starting sort of along the lines of Cruel Intentions. Lucius: takes out wand and blasts your sign down Seriously, no one wants James, he's totally pompous and unloved. Harry and Draco: Thank you for the support, and Drakie Poo?
Bitcake: Are you going to get GOF? HMMM... I am not evil leaving a cliffe like that, or do I have to remind you of the mean cliffe when Chastity was about to give birth and I made you wait for a week. OK I have to point out that both you and Adrianna said the same think"Derek Sheppard and George O'Malley, seriously?" Yes seriously, I thought you two would get a kick out of it, and obviously I was right. I just thought it was funny that you both said the same exact thing about the same topic. Yes there is a special 2 disc GOF NOT all versions of the movie come like this. I'm going to take a guess and say it is like the three Harry Potter movies, and they are just putting a few extras on the Special disk, I know it has like two extra games and stuff like this. I told them I didn't think that Andrew exsisted because anyone can mask their voice over the phone. James: Kime wrote me in! Kime wrote me in! Only fora little bit though, but still the five million dollars I got for appearing in that scene and of course the great make up was definitely a few great benefits. Lucius: Because it's ticking everyone off that I want to kill him.
Heather: What about you? Are you going to get GOF? Sues you You should have known it was a potion. Gosh. Of course it was Brad, but his name isn't Brad and he isn't a Death Eater he he he, now aren't you just dieing to know. Yes I have a thing for Cliffies.
Sarahamanda: Are you getting GOF? Glad you enjoyed the chapter.
