(A/N: here's chapter three...hope u guys enjoy it! imm trying my very best to update everyday! seriously!u can count on me!)
The headmaster's words were greeted with stunned silence. Hermione's mouth was agape. Draco froze momentarily in the armchair.
"b…but h…how's this possible?" stuttered Hermione. "one minute we were still in our time, and the next, we end up here, ten years into the future!"
"now now, calm down now, ms. Granger. The answer to your question is very simple. The two of you simply fell through a time vortex, bringing you here."
"then how do we go back, professor?" asked Draco.
"I'm afraid that I have no idea. If my suspicion is right, the both of you were brought here for a purpose. I believe that the both of you have to have a look what's in store in the future for you, once you have seen enough, I believe that another time vortex will be opened and it will take you back to your time."
"so, what is it that we have to see, professor?" quipped Hermione.
"I have a mild suspicion, but, however, I'm not going to ruin your surprise." said the headmaster with a twinkle in his eyes. "now, I suggest that the both of you go to the Malfoy Manor."
"but sir, I know that I would have to go to my Manor, but what business does Granger have to be there?" questioned an confused Draco.
"Mr. Malfoy, I am quite sure that what you see there will astound the both of you very deeply."
"what is it that will shock us so much professor?" asked Hermione, the worry in her voice was evident.
"well, ms. Granger, I think it would be better if you and mr. Malfoy found out on your own." replied Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling even more. "now if the both of you will, come here and take this." he added, gesturing towards an old kettle.
"err…what exactly is that professor?" asked Draco, looking warily at the rusty kettle.
"well, mr. Malfoy, this here, is a kettle. it's a muggle object which they use to boil water."
"and…what are we doing with that?"
"well, isn't it obvious? We're using it as a portkey, since we can't apparate within Hogwarts grounds." this time it was Hermione who replied.
"yes, right you are ms. Granger."
With that, Hermione and Draco both grabbed the handle of the kettle, their hands touching a little.
Instantly, they felt a tug at their navel and everything around them started spinning in circles. Before they knew it, the spinning stopped and their feet slammed onto the ground. Hermione lost her balance and stumbled into Draco. Draco lifted his arms up and tried to catch her before he fell but he too was unstable, hence causing the both of them to crash onto the fall, landing with an unceremonious "thump!" Hermione landed on top of Draco.
"Humpf! Ow, that hurt you know" muttered Draco "Get off me you filthy little mud blood."
"In case you haven't noticed, you tried to catch me u arrogant git. If you hadn't tried to catch me, you wouldn't have fallen." huffed the bushy haired girl.
"Oh, so now you are putting the blame on me when I graciously tried to catch you! Oh what happened to your brain, mud blood. Has the fall broke your skull or something, or have to no brains at all? You could at least thank me for breaking your fall. You landed on me in case you haven't noticed!" said Draco, raising his voice a little, in mock sarcasm.
"Fine! Sorry ok? You arrogant ferret."
The two picked themselves of the ground and began dusting themselves and straightening their robes. They were standing outside the door of Malfoy Manor.
Hermione looked at the Manor and couldn't help but admire what she was looking at. The Malfoy Manor was huge, with three levels. It stood gleaming in the resplendent sun rays, its shadow looming somewhat threateningly over them.
"like what you see, Granger?" asked Malfoy, a superior smirk planted on his smug face.
"I…er…I…you know what, Malfoy? Why don't we just go in?"
"fine by me."
At this juncture, the door swung open and a scrawny house elf came scurrying towards them.
"Binky is coming to bring Mr. and Mrs. to the terrace. Master and Mistress is waiting for you there." squeaked the house elf named Binky.
"Wait a minute, what did u call me, Binky?" questioned Hermione.
"Binky is calling Mrs., Mrs."
"Why are you calling me Mrs.? I'm not married yet!"
"why, you are married Mrs. You is married to Mr. here!"
"WHAT!" bellowed the both of them.
Hermione was hopping around anxiously, wringing her hands furiously, muttering incoherently under her breath. While Draco was bombarding the whimpering elf with question.
"I can't be married to a mud blood!"
"when did this happen?"
"I don't even love her!"
After a few chaotic moments, the both of them calmed down a little to let the elf lead them to the terrace. The sight that greeted them when they stepped into the terrace was really unexpected.
The older versions of Hermione and Draco were lounging on one of the garden benches, cuddling each other and locked in a passionate snogging session.
The younger Hermione and Draco stood rooted to the spot, gaping like goldfishes, for what seemed like an eternity.
"ehhmm…", coughed the younger Draco awkwardly. The couple broke away instantly.
Meanwhile, the younger Hermione was starting to turn green with repulsion. She shuffled gawkily on the spot.
"oh! You guys are here already! We received a letter from Dumbledore, telling us of your current situation." said the older Hermione, a little breathless from the kissing.
"what were you doing?" asked the younger Hermione, sounding sick with disgust.
"oh…we're so sorry…we didn't mean for you guys to walk in on us kissing." giggled the older Hermione.
"pls tell me this isn't true! I cannot be married to that arrogant intolerable ferret! Much less kiss him! I wouldn't even go near him with a ten foot pole if I can help it!" shrieked the near hysterical girl.
"now now, honey, you don't think that way, you know you don't." cooed the older Hermione, placing a comforting arm over the girl's shoulder.
"ohh…so I guess you guys haven't fell in love yet? Am-" started the older Draco.
"NO!" hollered both the younger Hermione and Draco.
"well…ok…I guess there's a lot of explaining we have to do, don't we honey?" the older Draco addressed the older Hermione.
