As Emma, Tom, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Neville, Pansy, Blaise and Phoebe were outside the Headmaster's office, and was about to open the door when it swung open just for them, "Finally, they're here." said Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling at the two muggles.
"You were expecting us?" asked Emma as the group slowly walked towards them, Dumbledore was not alone he was accompanied by -
"Mr. Gellert Grindelwald?" said Phoebe and Alex in chorus, "Good day, students." said a man behind Dumbledore, he had blue crystal eyes and blonde hair.
"Yes, Ms. Watson, we were expecting you and Mr. Felton." said Dumbledore with a small smile. "Wait - you knew?!" asked the group in unison. Grindelwald and Dumbledore nodded
Then Grindelwald spoke up, "We knew. That's why we had a meeting at the Ministry, our invention, turned out to be a . . . "
" - a mistake." said Dumbledore.
"What do you mean?" Asked Tom, "You see," began Dumbledore, "We invented a Time Stone." he said.
"A Time Stone? What for?" asked Pansy. "We were inventing a stone which transports a wizard or a witch to a specific time, more like the -"
" - like a Time Turner." muttered Emma, Grindelwald smiled, "Yes, like a Time Turner." he said, getting impressed.
"Tell me, Emma, what do you know about a Time Turner?" Dumbledore asked, Emma inhaled sharply and exchanged a glance with Tom then sighed, "What I remembered, when we were shooting the third Harry Potter Movie. -" that made Harry scoot uncomfortably, " - a Time Turner is a device used for timetravel. It is a special timepiece which resembles an hourglass on a necklace." She said, "and what I've read about the books and what Joe Rowling told me, The Ministry of Magic encased an Hour-Reversal Charm in the time turners they created, for added stability. The number of times one turns the hourglass corresponds to the number of hours one travels back in time. However, they can only stay in the past for five hours at a time, without the possibility of serious harm to the traveller or to time itself." She continued. The two older wizards nodded, impressed.
Pansy, Blaise, Alex and Phoebe looked proud at her, as the Gryffindors looked bewildered, "How did you know about it? Even I did not know about it . . . It's an old ancient magical device, only -"
" - only Purebloods know." pointed out Phoebe, "But I assumed you knew about this, Weasleys? Longbottom? Potter?" she asked, "Well, we did heard about it, but not in details." Said Harry.
"The Malfoy family had a time turner," said Alex, "It was handed from generations, as what Draco onced told us, but no one had ever used it. It was banned by the Ministry, am I right, Professor?" asked Blaise, Dumbledore and Grindelwald nodded.
"Correct, Mr. Zabini," answered the Headmaster, "Me and Albus invented the Time Stone for a substitue for the Time Turner, but it turns out it was mistakenly done, the night when we were about to test it, the two time stones vanished, one of it, we assumed went to the Hogwarts Library because of what Madam Irma Pince reported, that it was found in the Restricted Section, and the other one we assumed vanished to a different time, but then minutes later it came back in my office but it was not anymore glowing than it should be." he said.
"Wait, what were Malfoy and Hermione doing in the bloody restricted section?" asked Ron at his friends, "Who knows." smirked Alex.
"- So when we tried to fix the time stones, we came up to the conclusion that muggles and wizards were switched to different time, but we're not really sure what time, Ms. Granger and Mr. Malfoy is-"
"- 2011!" said Tom and Emma in chorus, "Last time we check it was July 6 2011, we last saw that stone was the night before the -" they paused.
" - Oh my god! The Premiere!" they said in chorus. The wizards and witches just looked at them, confused, "I forgot all about the movie premiere!" said Emma, "You and Me, both." muttered Tom, "This is so messed up, We were suppose to be there, the series' finale, it was our moment, and instead we're stuck here. . . " muttered Emma.
Dumbledore and Grindelwald exchanged glances and faced the muggles, "We really do apologize, Ms. Watson and Mr. Felton,"
The Muggles sighed, they really have no power over this, "There's nothing we can do about it." Tom said to Emma,"What's important is that, we can go back home, right?" asked Emma.
"Yes, for about five days - "
"Are you bloody kidding me!? Five fucking days?! We'll wait for that long?!" said Emma, "Em, relax, deep breaths," whispered Tom as he placed his arm around her, the Slytherin snickered at Emma's words just as Dumbledore continued " - the stone will be finished on repairing, in the meantime, you both should -" Dumbledore was cut off when they heard a popping sound from behind,
"Dobby?" said Phoebe, "What are you doing here?" she asked as she went the house elf, "Missus . . . Phoebe, a letter, from . . ." the house elf was panting, " . . . from Master Draco and Missus Hermione, they summoned Dobby, it was tiring, going back . . . the muggle time, it was . . ." Dobby ran out of breath just as Phoebe took the letter from his hand, "Go home Dobby, take some rest, alright? Thank you for your help." she said. Dobby let a small smile, nodded at her and faced at the two muggles.
Tom and Emma were awe struck seeing a real house elf, "We were basically twelve years old when we met Dobby," whispered Emma, "Yeah, the years when you still had a crush on me," Tom laughed, "Ouch!" he said as Emma elbowed him on the sides, "Git." she said.
"Mr. Radcliffe, Mr. Rupert, Mr. Lewis, Missus Lynch an Missus Wright sent their regards," said Dobby, Emma and Tom's eyes grew wide, "You've met them?" asked Tom. "Yes, and Master Draco is thankful and impressed of your Quidditch skills."
Tom was smug and Emma just smiled, the Gryffindors and Slytherins were surprised but relieved when they heard their friends were alright, "How are they?" asked Phoebe. "Master Draco, and Missus Hermione misses you all so much," Dobby said, "I'll go home now, Bye!" and with a snap of his fingers, he was gone.
"I missed them," whispered Ginny, breaking the silence, "Me too, weaslette, me too." muttered Blaise, "We all do." said Pansy, "How about you read that letter, Phoebe." Alex said as he went near his cousin.
The group went near her as the two older Wizards just stood beside them, Phoebe opened the letter and were welcomed by Hermione's familiar hand writing.
Me and Draco are alright and both safe, but we miss you dearly and wants to go home badly. We don't know how to get back though, we have barely magic with us right now and we don't have our wands, we can't communicate through owls and we only have to summon Dobby once.
Emma, Tom, your world is amazing and your friends are very friendly. It was quite a shock seeing an alternate versions of our loved ones though, but I know you know the feeling. They missed you, as much as I missed my friends too, Evanna and Bonnie are with me right now. Dan, Matt and Rupert are with Draco and Dobby at the moment. I think our worlds would get along perfectly, don't you both think? But Draco's kind of handling the muggle situation pretty well, considering that he minggled with your fellow muggles here and even made himself drunk with them last night, but don't worry he didn't do anything stupid to ruin your reputation, Felton. (Maybe)
By the way, your friends says hi. And Tom, the boys are jelous about you playing quidditch, and Draco's proud of you for playing him very well, as much as I am proud of you, Emma. Great Actors! Trully amazing!
Harry, Ron, our faces are every where, and Harry you are quite famous here in London, really! A lot of people loves us, and loves the wizarding world very much, I heard they're even making a theme park or something. Anyways, we are hoping that Dumbledore would be able to fix this, as much as we like it in here, there's still no other place like home.
And, We can't do anything but just wait, can we? We miss you all! We'll see you all soon, hopefully.
With Love,
Hermione x
"What did Malfoy do this time?" groaned Phoebe, "Don't worry, the letter did says that he didn't do anything stupid," laughed Tom, the witch just rolled her eyes at him.
"Well, I'm glad they're both safe." said Pansy, "And I'm glad those muggles handled them pretty well, especially with Malfoy." smirked Ron.
"Now, I want to watch those Harry Potter series." snickered Ginny as she glanced at her boyfriend who was rolling his eyes on her, "Sure you do." the raven haired wizard said.
"So, Professor Dumbledore? Mister Grindelwald?" said Emma and Tom as they faced the two elder wizards, "Don't worry, we'll fix it."
Emma and Tom just let a small smile. They really can't do anything about this situation.
