Chapter Six

How To Fix Problems

Harry stared at Snape with the utmost dislike. The man had made his life a living hell for five years so why should it be any different in another time. Snape looked over with a smile when he saw Harry and then his smile grew when he saw Draco. He walked over to them giving them both a hug.

"Actually I was hoping the three of us could have a private talk." He said quietly. He turned to everyone else opening his arms as if to embrace them. "Class is cancelled today. Go do as you wish." No one had to be told twice and they were gone. Some went inside, others went off towards the Quidditch pitch and some went to play games just outside the forests edge. Snape turned around looking expectantly at Emerald and Silver.

"We aren't leaving Severus. Anything you have to say to them you can say to us as well." Emerald said making Harry realize Emerald was definitely a Gryffindor. Silver on the other hand rolled his eyes.

"Sev you know twins, we stick together no matter what. It's like an unbreakable bond so you can say anything to all of us." Silver replied. Severus sighed before dragging the four into the house and back into the now empty dining room. Emerald closed the door behind him sitting in a chair and leaning it back to put his feet on the table. Silver swatted at him and his feet went straight back to the floor. He rolled his eyes at the emerald eyed boy and turned his attention towards Severus.

Severus looked at Harry and Draco with a serious face. He sat heavily into one of the chairs not sure of what to say at first.

"You two are from the future, am I correct?" Severus asked. Emerald and Silver looked shock by the news that Severus knew and looked at each other to make sure they had heard correctly.

"Yes we are and they know so it's all okay. We needed someone to help us." Draco replied and Harry nodded in agreement. Severus sighed as an apparition appeared. It was Snape their professor back home.

"Potter, when you get back to Hogwarts you'll have detention for a month and you won't be playing Quidditch if I have my way. I'll have your broom confiscated and if you put one toe out of line you'll be on the train home quicker than you can say Potions." Snape ranted before sighing heavily as if a great burden lay on his shoulders. "We need you back here Potter, the Dark Lord knows you are gone and is starting to get bold. The Ministry of Magic has started to take action when he appeared in the Ministry looking for a way to get to you. Umbridge has gone as Fudge pulled her out of here saying he needed her in a more important place. Dumbledore has all classes escorted by a teacher to their next class but we all know the next place he's going to come looking for you is here. We need you home Potter."

"I can't come back just like that; the Dumbledore in this time even said so. We have to learn something otherwise we won't go home." Harry replied. Snape nodded silently.

"The only other problem is that we don't know why the potion went wrong in the first place. I have taken the potion apart ingredient by ingredient and I still can't find what was added wrong to send you back in time." Snape said. Draco cleared his throat causing them all to put his attention on him. He fidgeted for a moment before he decided to speak.

"Is it possible that a few drops of Harry's blood could have altered the potion enough that it sent us both back to when we were together happily?" Draco asked motioning towards Emerald and Silver. Snape's eyes widened at the sight of their exact replicas standing beside them. He shook his head before nodding at Draco.

"That would be enough. A drop of Potter's blood would have been enough to take you back in time anywhere. I'm surprised you two weren't sent back to the beginning of time depending on how much of his blood got into the potion. Well we can't fix that now; Severus will start the potion that will send you back here but it might take a few weeks to be ready and we will need Harry's blood to seal it. Otherwise it won't work." Snape said. "For now boys learn what you can and I'll be back to check up on you." The apparition disappeared leaving Severus to shiver.

"Off you go about your business, I'll see you all later." Severus said before the four ran out the door.

Emerald and Silver grinned dragging the other two along but stopped suddenly when they reached an upstairs balcony and someone was standing on it. Silver pressed a finger to his lip and they slowly crept to the barely open door to find Michael Potter standing with Bianca Malfoy. They were speaking quietly to one another but they could all hear exactly what was being said.

"Bianca I want to tell them. I don't want to live the rest of my life in a lie." Michael said quietly stepping forward to stare into Bianca's eyes. She turned her face away allowing a single tear to roll down her cheek.

"We can't. You know what will happen if we tell them. Michael we are engaged to different people, we can't be together. An arranged marriage is binding for a Malfoy and I could be locked up for years for even thinking about you. We can't risk it." Bianca replied trying to hold back the tears. Michael lifted her chin up giving her a tiny kiss on the lips.

"If you change your mind, let me know." Michael said walking towards the door. The four looked at each before quickly walking up the hallway pretending they hadn't heard a thing. Emerald pulled them into a study which was empty and sighed. Draco looked at Silver in confusion.

"I thought if you found a more suitable bride you could ask their parents for her hand in marriage." Draco said. Silver nodded slowly as he closed his eyes.

"The only problem with this one is they both have an arranged marriage. They would have to clear it with both parties and as Bianca said an arranged marriage is binding as a Malfoy. The other thing they don't take too kindly to is wanting to marry the same sex." Silver replied in a soft voice.

"And I don't seem to have a problem with that." A voice said. The four jumped spinning around to see James standing by himself in the darkest corner in the room. They could have sworn this room was empty. He sat down in a chair and waved his hand to close the door. "Lucius can be so hard on you children. I think you should be able to marry who you want. Now which one of you is going to tell me who has a problem with an arranged marriage for both parties?"

Emerald zipped his lips quickly knowing they could all get in serious trouble for saying anything. Silver stepped forward. Emerald grabbed him by the arm trying to stop him but Silver looked back at Emerald with a small smile. He sighed letting go of the stubborn Malfoy.

"You promise not to get any of us in trouble?" Silver asked faintly. James exhaled with a small laugh.

"You should know me by now, I won't say a thing. I promise." He replied puting a hand out drawing a line down it. The pureblood signal for a promise, Silver couldn't deny that one. "It's not just those two. It's almost anyone who has an arranged marriage. Emerald and I don't like our arrangements; no offence sir your daughter is very sweet and kind. It's just we all want to make our own decisions on who we want to marry. The person who we were talking about that already has arranged marriages is Michael and Bianca. They really like each other for all we know they love each other but Michael is to marry Jasmine Parkinson and Bianca is to marry Viktor Krum."

"The good thing is Jasmine likes Christopher Zabini and Viktor likes Megan Crabbe. Only problem is Christopher is engaged to Dawn Longbottom and Megan to Cory Goyle but Cory and Dawn like each other. So in the long run it all works out." Emerald added looking upwards to make sure he had gotten it right. James leaned farther back in his chair almost contemplating what they had said.

"And what about you two? How is your arrangement fixed?" James asked quietly. Emerald and Silver exchanged looks and seemed to be communicating with only their eyes. Emerald took a deep breathe and turned to his father.

"Well it's actually quite simple. Iris and Gabrielle like each other and well we…like each other."
