The Time Travel Incident [Chapter 4]
'As I said before, I'm Victoire Weasley, the eldest daughter Bill and Fleur Weasley née Delacour. I'm 17 years old, I'm in Ravenclaw and I'm also Head Girl this year. I have a little sister Dominique and a brother, Louis. And flying is not really my thing.' She finished.
When she finished Fred asked, 'Fleur Delacour? As in the Tri-wizard champion? How does Bill even know her?'
'Don't you know? She's now working at Gringotts and Bill is helping her eemprove 'er Eengleesh' snickered Ginny.
'Ahh' said Fred and George as if her reply contained answer to unravel all the mysteries of the universe.
'Shut it, you three.' said Mrs Weasley firmly. And mumbled something under her breath that sounded like 'They're a bad influence on my daughter.'
'Who wants go next?' asked Sirius
'I will.' said James.
'My name is James Sirius Potter, I'm sixteen, Gryffindor, Prankster Extraordinaire, Quidditch Captain, I play Chaser like my mum, my favourite subject is Transfiguration. My Dad is obviously the great Harry Potter. Everyone says I look like my Dad with my Mum's eyes or like my grandfather. You take your pick.' finished James proudly.
He was met by a round of silence and Snape's sneer intensified.
Sirius broke the silence by saying,' Bloody hell, Harry. You created a carbon copy of your Dad. Well done.'
Harry just smiled awkwardly, still not able to believe that he survived and had a kid. He had kid. Someone married him. And he could tell by James' looks that he did not marry Cho Chang. This confused him. She was the only person whom he liked till now. He liked her since he was thirteen.
'I'll go next' Said Al. 'My name is Al,' He looked at his siblings for reassurance who nodded to him encouragingly before taking a deep breath and saying, 'Albus Severus Potter, I'm fifteen, I'm in Slytherin, I'm a prefect and also play seeker for the Quidditch Team.'
Everyone just blinked a few times before the room erupted in protests from Ron, Fred, George and Sirius.
'Harry were you drunk when you named him?!'
'Why did you name him after Snivellus?!'
'A Slytherin? Are you sure you are a Potter?'
'Did you marry a Slytherin who was in love with Snape?!'
Their protests were silenced by a loud voice, 'Shut it!' yelled Lily. Everyone turned to look at Lily as to how such a small thing could make so much of noise. But as if the stairs did not bother her Lily continued, 'According to our Dad, Al's middle name was after one of the bravest man he ever knew so don't talk about the things you don't know. In our time there is nothing wrong with being a Slytherin, I don't see why it is even wrong in this time! Just because some is sly, ambitious or cunning doesn't mean they are evil! Slytherin doesn't equate to being a Death Eater! You all need to stop being so narrow minded about Slytherins or any other house for that matter! Its not as if all Gryffindors are saints now, is it? What about Peter Pettigrew? He was a Gryffindor! Look how he turned out! Put your pride aside and accept the fact that not all Slytherins are evil.' she finished. Everyone looked stunned but did agree with her logic. Suddenly she flushed with all the attention that she was getting 'And one more word about my brother not being a Potter, you'll see the worst of us.' James said in low and dangerous voice, indicating to him and Lily while twiddling with his wand as if to challenge them to say more. Al looked at them both with gratitude
'Well said, Miss Potter.' Smiled Dumbledore and even Snape looked at some admiration in his eyes. 'Would mind introducing yourself please?'
'O-oh sure. I'm Lily Luna Potter, I'm twelve, I'm a Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch Team. My favourite subject is Charms. I'm a prankster as well, although I be discreet about it. I like to read. My best-friend is my cousin Hugo. That's all, I guess.'
'Luna? Since when do you know any Lunas, Harry?' asked Hermione.
'I don't, maybe I'll meet her.' said Harry.
'He doesn't, but I know a Luna, Luna Lovegood. Is she the one you've been named after?' Ginny asked Lily. Lily nodded. 'She's my godmother and you, Dad, Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione a grow a tad bit closer to her this year.' Everyone looked at her quizzically. 'She's one of the few people who believes Dad despite the Ministry blocking the truth this year and is vocal about her opinion. And she also helped in the final battle' She explained looking at their expressions.
'This is all wonderful, but you didn't tell who our little Harrykins ends up with.' Fred said with a suggestive waggle of his eyebrows.
'Well-' started James, before he was interrupted by noise coming from Lily's pocket. She pulled out what looked like broken piece of mirror.
'What is that?' Asked Sirius
'Its a piece of your two way mirror' She replied and before anyone could say anything she answered it.
'Dad?' she asked tentatively.
'Lily? Is that you? Are you all right?' came the voice of the Older Harry from the mirror. Harry was surprised at how deep, mature and concerned his voice sounded.
'Yes Daddy. I'm all right.' said Lily.
'Where are you all? I come home to find it empty, with the main door open and Ginny's time-turner prototype smashed in the middle of the kitchen. What did you kids do?'
Well...erm...' started Lily
'I'm waiting for an answer young lady.' came the stern voice of the Older Harry. 'Wait, are Teddy and Victoire with you?' He asked
'Yes'
'Give your mirror to them, I'll talk to them.'
Lily passed on the mirror to Teddy.
'H-hey Harry' said Teddy
'Where you kids? What happened?'
'Okay. Don't freak out, but we kind of time travelled back to your fifth year, to the time right after your hearing. James was searching for the Marauders Map in your study because you left it open, Lily found him with the time-turner and they argued about it. Lily asking him to put it back and he refusing as he was trying to use the prototype to blackmail you into giving him the map. They kind of wrestled for it, I tried to interfere but Lily jumped at James, he dropped the damn thing in shock, it smashed and here we are.' Said Teddy in one breath, he sounded freakishly like Hermione when she was nervous.
There was moment of silence before older Harry muttered, 'Why am I not surprised?'
'Because they're your kids, who inherited your talent for trouble' came a cool female voice.
'Oh, don't talk like you never got into trouble Ginny.' Older Harry retorted
'Guilty.' Said Ginny, but her tone showed that she wasn't bothered by it.
'So, that's what happened to my poor time-turner.' Ginny sighed dramatically.
'Is it just me or do you seem like you are not bothered by the fact that the kids are stuck in 1995 where Voldemort was back and gaining power? And don't act like you care a lot about time turners, it was your Reductor Curse that smashed all of the ministry's in my fifth year.' Harry almost hysterically finished.
'Hey! Of course I'm worried that the kids are stuck in the past with an ex-convict, a werewolf, a ridiculously old headmaster, a Potter-hating potions professor, a crazy auror with constant vigilance and an ill-tempered younger version of you who was moaning about the unfairness of life! I know the consequences of messing with time. And I'm not so scared because I made another copy of the prototype and sent 'Mione a patronus. She'll be here in a few minutes with Ron and then we can make a few minor altercations in the copy of before we go and get them back. So hold yourself together a little longer. Besides, you've been in deeper shit and turned out fine, didn't you?' Ginny asked rhetorically.
Everyone in the past were stunned and in awe of Ginny's outburst.
'Kids?' Came the Older Ginny's voice.
'Yes?' they all replied in unison.
'Here is what's your going to do till we get you back: Lily look after James, James you will look after Lily. Al, look out for both of them and make sure they don't do anything more stupid.' All three Potter kids nodded although Al was slightly smug looking. Harry in the past was stunned by how well Ginny took charge.
'Teddy and Victoire, don't worry that you disappointed us when we asked you to look after them. Just take care of them now, ok?' Both Teddy and Victoire nodded solemnly.
'We'll get you back, don't worry. I got to go now. Hermione is here. Bye' She said and her voice couldn't be heard anymore.
'I'm going to go, too. Don't reveal too much information to them. Just answer basic questions like what everyone does and who they end up with. Am I clear?' Came Older Harry's serious.
'Crystal.' replied James
'Ginny Potter! What are you doing, I told you not eat my chocolate ice-cream!' The Older Harry suddenly yelled, before saying a hasty goodbye and cutting the connection.
Please Review! Pretty please with a cherry on the top. *puppy eyes*
