Hogwarts, We've Got A Problem

By xSlytherclaWx

Chapter Two:

Back in the Day

Author's Note: This is a story in which several people get lurched back to Hogwarts in the 1940s. It might be good, it might be crap. I really don't know yet. By the way, my friend Kane asked to be in this, and he specifically requested to be Sirius and Regulus's brother, and to be named Lemonjello (pronounced Leh-mahn-juh-low)… It's a long story, which has to do with our science teacher, and some of her former students. I'm not kidding either. My friend Liz also makes an appearance.

Title Credits for the Chapter goes to Christina Aguilera.

Because you asked: you can find the story behind Lemonjello on my website ( http:// slytherclawx .webs. com/ faq. Htm ) type it in without the spaces. On the page, it should be towards the top of the little box, but, if not, scroll down to find it.

Lemonjello and Regulus

"Regulus, I don't think this is safe…"

"Come on! We can go back in time and stop Bellatrix from getting carted off to rot!"

"Floo Powder and a Time Turner don't sound good together."

"Gryffindork," Regulus said.

"Fine." Then Lemonjello muttered something that sounded like, "I'm too nice."

"Now," Regulus said as he smashed the Time Turner and mixed the sand in with some Floo Powder. "We've only got to go back a couple of weeks, then we can wait it out in Hogsmeade…"

Lemonjello was about to say it was a bad idea, but Regulus had already grabbed some powder. "The Hog's Head!"

His brother had no choice but to follow.

Natalie, Dennis, Orla, and Jimmy

"Come on, we can save some people!" Dennis pleaded.

"Dennis, it happened over six months ago," Jimmy reasoned.

"Using a Time Turner mixed in with Floo Powder…that sounds ridiculously dangerous," Orla said.

"I have to save my brother," Dennis said quietly.

No one had any way to argue that.

"If you go, I'm going with you," Natalie said.

"You don't have to…"

"Yes, I do, Dennis Creevey, and if you don't agree…"

"Fine, Nat, you can come. Orla, Jimmy, the invite is open." He grabbed a handful of the mix and stepped into the fire. "The Hog's Head!"

"The Hog's Head!" Natalie repeated, following Dennis.

Jimmy looked to Orla. "Orla, they're so irrational it's mad… I think we should follow them."

"Yeah, I agree," Orla said. She stepped into the fireplace. "The Hog's Head!"

Jimmy followed her, grabbing the wand Dennis had forgotten in his rush.

Albus, Rose, and Scorpius

"But we can save Uncle Fred, Al!"

"Rose, I know you've always wanted to meet him, but that's how many years back?"

"I've got a solution," Rose grinned. She pulled out a Time Turner. "I'll mix it in with some Floo Powder, and we can save him. Dad let slip that the Hog's Head was somewhat out of the way. So we mix the sand and the Floo Powder and Floo to the Hog's Head!"

"And I thought Al was the irrational one," Scorpius muttered.

"Come on, Scorp! This'll be an adventure! You can meet your parents! Personally, I want to meet Tonks… she sounded wicked cool," Al grinned.

"Teddy's mum?" Scorpius asked.

"And your dad's cousin," Al said.

"But we'll need our wands… we might want to leave our badges here, Rose, it could confuse people."

"Right," she said. She grabbed her and Scorpius's Prefect badges and put them in Scorpius's drawer. "Happy? Let's go!"

Scorpius and Albus followed her down to the Common Room, knowing there was no way to talk her out of it.

Rose carefully broke open the Time Turner and mixed the sand in a jar of Floo Powder. "The Hog's Head!" she yelled.

Al gave Scorpius a nervous look. "Well, let's give it a shot."

Scorpius nodded. They flooed to the Hog's Head, where they emerged, coughing, to find not just Rose, but six others, looking disoriented and confused.

31 August 1942

"This isn't the day of the battle," Rose whispered. "Al, didn't Mum, Dad, Uncle Harry, and Aunt Ginny say it was packed?"

Al nodded slowly.

"Albus Severus Potter and Rose Nymphadora Weasley! What the bloody hell did you get me into?" Scorpius asked angrily.

Dennis turned around. "Harry? Ginny? Nymphadora? Potter? Weasley? I know them!"

"We don't know you," Al said. "And, Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, it's not my bloody fault! Rosie came up with it!"

"A Potter in Ravenclaw? A Weasley in Ravenclaw? A Malfoy in Ravenclaw? Oh, if Lucius knew…" Regulus muttered.

"Why're you talking about my Grandad?" Scorpius asked.

"What? Your Grandad? Lucius and Narcissa are only six years older than Lemonjello and I!"

"Jimmy, I blame you," Orla said. "If you hadn't been all 'well, Dennis and Nat are so irrational it's mad' then we'd be safe, in our common rooms!"

"Sorry, Orla!"

"Orla? Jimmy? Professor Peakes! Mister Peakes!" Al cried.

"What?" Orla and Jimmy asked at once.

The Hog's Head was suddenly overcome with the sound of arguments.

Natalie and Lemonjello stood up on a table.

"Hey! People!" Natalie yelled. Everyone ignored her.

"Let me," Lemonjello said, "Everyone listen to me!"

The arguments ceased. Lemonjello continued. "I don't know what's going on, but we should all get to Hogwarts."

"No, wait!" Natalie said. "Let's introduce ourselves. I'm Natalie McDonald, Half-Blood if any of you are Pureblood crazy like Voldemort," Regulus and Lemonjello flinched, Natalie continued, "I'm a fifth year, in Gryffindor, and, er, my friends and I thought we were going to help out at a battle. Dennis?"

Natalie jumped off of the table and Dennis took her place. "I'll follow Nat's example. Dennis Creevey, Muggleborn, fifth year Gryffindor, and I came to save my brother, Colin…"

"Colin Creevey?" Al asked. "He knew my dad! He gave my dad loads of his pictures!"

"Yeah, that's something Colin and I loved to do. Now, how about Orla?"

"Orla Quirke, Half-Blood dad and Muggleborn mum, fifth year Ravenclaw, and I came to make sure Dennis and Nat didn't get themselves killed. Jimmy?"

"Jimmy Peakes, Half-Blood, fifth year Gryffindor, and I came for the same reason as Orla. How about you?" he pointed to Lemonjello.

"I'm Orion Black, but I hate that name, so please call me Lemonjello. I'm a vegetarian."

"So am I!" Natalie yelled.

"I'm Sirius and Regulus's brother, and fifth year Gryffindor… I came because Regulus wanted to save our cousin Bellatrix, and he made me feel bad."

"Bellatrix?" Albus, Rose, Scorpius, Dennis, Orla, Jimmy, and Natalie yelled in unison.

"Yeah," Regulus said. "I'm Regulus Black, fifth year Slytherin, Pureblood, and as Lemonjello briefly mentioned, we're here to save Bella from getting carted off to Azkaban to rot."

"I'd be more worried about your brother if I were you," Al muttered. "I'm Albus Severus Potter, as Scorp mentioned, my dad's a Half-Blood, mum's a Pureblood, a Weasley, actually… er… Fifth-year Ravenclaw, and Rose and I came here to save our Uncle Fred. We dragged Scorpius into this."

"At least you're honest… Scorpius Hyperion Malfoy, Pureblood, fifth year Ravenclaw, Prefect, actually, and as Al said, he and Rose dragged me into this."

"My name is Rose Nymphadora Weasley, I'm a Half-Blood. I'm also a Ravenclaw Prefect, fifth year. I wanted to save my Uncle Fred… he died during the Battle of Hogwarts."

"Let's get to Hogwarts?" Natalie asked.

"Who died and made you leader?" Regulus asked. Natalie ignored him.

Before they entered the castle, they saw Dumbledore. Except this Dumbledore had auburn hair that was noticeably shorter.

"Professor!" Regulus and Scorpius yelled. "Professor Dumbledore!"

Dumbledore turned around. "I don't think I recognize any of you."

"But I'm Al! I was named after –!"

Rose quickly clamped a hand over his mouth. "Natalie and Lemonjello have shown their leadership skills, why don't they talk?"

"I'm Natalie, and my friends and I tried to travel back in time… we ended up going too far back…"

"The same thing happened to me and my brother," Lemonjello said.

"And us as well," Rose said quietly.

"I think that we should go to my office to discuss this."

"Professor," Dennis asked, "What year is it?"
