"what are we going to do?"she said "we need their help"
"I know and you know what needs to be done"
"No, it's too dangerous"
"but is't our only option" he said "and her plans never failed"
"I know that, but is this worth the risk?"
"yes it is, unless you have a better plan"
"no I don't have one, but.."
"but what? let them win? over my dead body" the man snapped
"at least let me go with you, James"
"No Lily, I need you to stay here and make sure that we still have chances of winning when I come back" the man said "I am leaving you in charge" the woman, Lily, hugged the man, James
"How did our parents do this?"
"They weren't alone Lily, they had help" the man said, whipping a tear of the woman's face "as we will have when I come back"
"if this works"
"it will work"
the woman went to the book shelf, took out a book, Hogwarts a History, and from inside it took out a golden necklace and handed it to the man "be safe"
"sure thing sis"
They saw as the professor jumped in front of Ginny Weasley. They saw as the boggart changed its form, again. They saw as a woman with long, curly, ginger hair, appeared, the woman was standing in the middle of a mysterious looking room, a room that some of them knew to be the the study room of Grimule place, maps spread all around her, bags under her eyes, her eyes red, probably from crying, in her hand a watch. They saw as their boggart professor appeared in the room, a golden necklace in his hand.
"did it work?" their professor asked, the woman looked up and shakes her head
"it didn't" she said, her voice barely a whisper "we are doomed"
the man sighted "it was supposed to work, what are we supposed to do now?"
"I don't know James, there is nothing else to do"
"we could.." their professor was interrupted by the woman slamming her hands to the table
"STOP IT JAMES" she snapped "THEY ARE ALL DEAD AND THE ONES THAT ARE NOT DEAD DON'T PLAN ON HELPING US, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO DO, WE ARE DOOMED"
They watched as their professor raised his wand and, with a voice that could only be owned by a leader among leaders, said "ridiculous". They watched the boggart fly backward, they watched their professor looking at the boggart in a safe place. They watched as their professor turned around to face them, his face red from anger, his eyes sparkling with fire, his glare penetrating each of their sous.
They listened as their professor lost his temper, they listened as their professor lost his patience, they listened as their professor blamed them, they listened as their professor told them the truth with the heaviness that truth usually carries.
"You all are cowards, each one of you. You all are fucking hypocrites. You all know what it feels to fight a damned war as a teenager, yet none of you seem to be able to help your own sons and daughters when they are going through the same shit. You all won a war, I won't take from you, but you all had help, you all had adults who tried to protect you or at least guide you. I don't know if you all will remember this 23 years in the future, but if you do, help us, at least, give us moral support. We are trying our best, we are giving our best, we are prepared to give it all, even our lives, but that's not enough, we are still a bunch of teenagers who were thrown into a war, thrown to a side of a war that had no one to lead it, a side of war that only had a bunch of un trained teenagers who were forced to grow up way too fast. You all lived it, you all know how it feels. Get your shit together and act like the adults you are" their professor took out of his pocket a necklace, a necklace that Hermione Granger well knew to be a time turner, the man turned the time turned a thousand times or at least that was what it felt like "I hope you still remember this words 23 years in the future, I hope 23 years in the future this words make a change in how the war is working" and the man disappeared, for none of them to see again for at least another couple of years, when he will be born.
"Did it work?" James asked when he arrived back
"what worked?" James looked around him and his eyes landed on the man who had just talked
"glad to see you around here" he said, the other man smiled
"I don't know what you are talking about son" the man winked at him "now come on, we have a war to win"
