She turned to her accompaniments with wide eyes. "We've traveled back in time!"
Chapter 2:
"Hang on, time travel—what are you talking about?" Sirius said, getting confused and irritated all the more. Then he noticed the blonde girl staring at him with wide eyes. "What? You now know that I'm the criminal on the run?" he laughed humorlessly and turned to Molly.
"They're Death Eaters, Molly. I know it." He looked pointedly at Scorpius, whose eyes widened.
"I'm not staring at you because you're the criminal on the run." The blonde girl interrupted, making all eyes turn on her. Then, she turned to the James Potter lookalike. "Prongs, do you recognize this guy?"
She gestured to Sirius, who was all the more confused. She called him Prongs? But it can't be! James is dead! The last sentence was the hardest to point in his mind. The one she called Prongs stared at Sirius hard.
"Widewings, you don't mean—"
"Yep, that's Sirius Black! Padfoot!" she said excitedly, grinning widely. The Hermione aura-d girl rubbed her forehead with her hand.
"Before you two start idolizing Mr. Black, we have another problem at hand." She said. "We need to talk."
"You need to prove you're not Death Eaters, first, especially because you have a Malfoy lookalike here." Arthur interrupted sharply. Scorpius secretly rolled his eyes.
"Grandpa Arthur, when you two are alone, Gran like you to call her 'Molly- wobbles'. Oh, and Professor Dumbledore's favorite jam is raspberry. That enough?" the one that looked a lot like Ron piped up, and Sirius can't help but snicker at the beet red faces of Arthur and Molly.
"Alright, you're not Death Eaters." Arthur muttered with a small voice.
"EWW, HUGO—TOO MUCH INFORMATION!" the auburn haired girl screamed.
"How did you know that, Hugo?" the blonde girl asked amusedly. The one who looked like Ron, apparently Hugo, turned to the one they call Rose. "You said we need to talk?"
"He knows something." James stage whispered, and Hugo blushed and cleared his throat. "Uhh—Rose?"
"Uhh—yeah. Since we've proven that we're not Death Eaters, can we have a private time already? We'll go down when we're finished." Rose said to Sirius.
"Can you please introduce yourselves first? And the truth, please. I don't like unknown people entering my house." He said, his wand still pointed at them.
"We're from the future! 2022, to be exact!" the James Potter lookalike introduced grandly.
"Are you kidding? How did you get here?" Sirius snorted.
Rose interrupted before the James could say something. "That's what we need to talk about, first. When we're ready, we'll tell you everything."
Sirius exchanged glances with Molly and at the kids, and then they left to go to the kitchen to settle down the already panicking teenagers.
Rose watched as Molly and Sirius disappeared down the staircase, closed, and then locked the door.
"Guys, seriously? We time traveled?" Lily asked, facing Rose, who was frowning as well.
"I believe so, Lily. Otherwise, Sirius wouldn't have been alive, would he? And Gran and Gramps look so young as they do around this time." She replied.
"It's August 12, 1995. The day Dad just got home from his hearing." Al said, remembering the story their dad shared with them.
"But how did that mirror sent us to the past? And why?" Hugo asked confusedly.
"That mirror necklace is magical." James said knowingly. Hailey rolled her eyes. "Yes, James. We probably don't know that by now."
"I think it's called the Mirror of Time." Rose mused out loud. The seven others turned to her. "The what?"
"It's a favorite subject in fiction books, always for time travelling. Legend has it that only Father Time has that mirror. Now that it sucked us in the past, I think it's true." She explained. "Little is known about the Mirror of Time and with so many fiction books around, no wizard or witch knows the truth about it anymore."
"I'm sure there has to be a book about it somewhere." Hailey frowned. Rose confirmed this.
"Yes, but no one knows where its exact location is. There was a riddle left by an anonymous person to where the book is, though." Rose frowned thoughtfully, as if trying to remember it.
"Yes?" Louis asked, urging Rose's memory.
The latter sighed. "I read the book back before we came into Hogwarts; I really can't remember it now."
All of them groaned.
"But why would our dad send us something that will take us to the past? And how exactly did he get, if what Rose said that only Father Time has it, is true?" Hailey asked Scorpius, who shrugged.
The eight teenagers stood in a moment of silence, contemplating on their next steps.
"What will we do now, then?" Scorpius asked.
"Well, telling the adults here about our situation might help, but it would be more wonderful if we could contact our parents." Lily suggested tentatively.
"That might be a problem. We have no way of contacting our parents." Hugo said.
"Oh, I have my phone in here!" Al said suddenly, grabbing his cell phone. "What is that?" Scorpius and Hailey chorused, peering at the object in Al's hands.
"It's called a cell phone. It might contact our parents… Umm… whom to call…" Al muttered as he touched the rectangular thing-y that lights when he touches it.
"Gahh, no signal." He said shaking his head and placing the thing back in his pocket.
"Figures, that thing shouldn't have existed by now." James muttered to no one in particular. Rose suddenly snapped her fingers.
"I've got a plan! We're going to explain them everything, but we won't give away any major information, like the things that happened in the war. Maybe we could live a little around here while we solve our problem. I'm sure Professor Dumbledore can help." She said.
"Sure. Live a little while this time is on war. Sounds like a great plan." Hailey muttered darkly.
"Could we tell them who our parents are? I want to see how Uncle Ron reacts when he knows he's going to end up with Aunt `Mione." Louis and James sniggered as Rose and Hugo rolled their eyes.
"Are you making fun of our parents, Louis?" the siblings chorused, and Louis caught the danger hint of their voices. Hermione plus Ron's temper? Not good. He laughed nervously. "Err—no of course not. I meant I want to see my dad's reaction."
"I suppose we could tell them bits of the future, like how we are doing. I think it wouldn't drastically change the future after all. And besides, we still have to erase their memories when we return back, right?" Lily said, turning to Rose.
Rose nodded, but discreetly leaned to Hailey. "If we ever get back." Instantly, the other girl paled.
James clapped his hands and grinned. "Okay, now let's go because I want to meet the two original Marauders!"
Author's Note: I'm sorry for the short update, but I kind of want to cut it there… Seemed like the greatest point… Alright, I'll continue a little bit more…
Hermione and the rest of the kids watch as Molly, Sirius, and Arthur welcome the other Order Members that made it in the headquarters, namely Tonks, Remus, and Kingsley.
She figured that maybe they don't want to tell them, because they were talking in hushed voices. She's been fearing a Death Eater attack, but by the way Molly, Sirius, and Arthur's expressions are, it looks like it's more graver than Death Eaters.
Voldemort, wouldn't be able to come here, would he? I mean, if he is, I'm sure it wouldn't have made Sirius, Mrs. Weasley, and Mr. Weasley alive. Or maybe he just sent a warning note? But how could that happen? This house is heavily protected! She thought wildly. Hermione hated not knowing the answers.
The kitchen door burst open, and in piled eight teenagers, all somehow resembling some people in the room. Hermione's mind gears started turning when she inspected them closely.
The first kid. Blonde. Blue eyes. Pretty boy. Veela? Maybe.
Next, just like Harry. Except his eyes is hazel brown. Where did she see those eyes? Hermione looked around the room desperately and found it. Ginny's eyes.
Another, Harry's replica without glasses.
Another looked exactly like Ginny when she was little that she saw in the pictures, except for the darker shade of hair.
Another looked like Draco Malfoy.
Another blonde girl, she's familiar but Hermione can't point her finger on it.
Then there was a girl, just like her with the bushy hair. But it was red. It was Weasley red.
Then a guy that looked like Ron, except his eyes were… his eyes were… His eyes were hers… She's sure of it. She always sees it every time she looks at a mirror.
Oh no… oh no… It can't be!
Hermione distantly heard Ron's voice asking the adults. "Who are those kids? Are they Death Eaters?"
Her voice shaky, she met the girl with the bushy red hair's blue eyes. "T-they're not Death Eaters, Ronald."
She swallowed. How could this happen?
"How did you know that?" Ron asked her skeptically.
"Because if they're Death Eaters, mum and dad would have pointed their wands at them already, stupid!" Ginny snapped."Watch your mouth, young lady. That's your older brother you're talking to." Molly reprimanded.
"But who are they?" Ron still asked stubbornly. Hermione wasn't letting go from staring into the girl's blue eyes. Exact shape and color as Ron's.
She took a deep breath and said loudly, "They are time travelers from the future."
A/N: Done! That last part was a bit confusing, eh? I meant the descriptions. I just like to think about how Hermione is thinking when she's confused. I kind of pictured it like this.
