Greeting everyone! Yes, I am alive and I'm back! I made a promise to finish this story and I have always stood by my word. Granted I have not updated in a while, for which I deeply and sincerely apologize(Life got in the way). I fear I may have lost a lot of interested readers, but I assure you that I will finish this story. I have already completed three chapters, and am in the process of finishing the remaining. So get ready to be pulled back into the adventurous world of Rose and Scorpius.
In order for everyone to help get on track with whats happening, here is a quick recap of what has happened so far, although I encourage everyone to read the story once again form the beginning to really get into the mood :)
Scorpius and Rose are in their sixth year at school and are sworn enemies. Scorpius has regular dreams of a brown haired girl, but has never seen her face, although he obstinately believes he will recognize her when he meets her. Meanwhile a prophecy is delivered by Professor Trewlaney about Scorpius Malfoy and Bernaby Lancelot which states the following
"HE REACHES CLOSER TO HIS DESTINY
THE DESTINY WHICH WILL BE IMPEDED BY LOVE
A CHOICE HE MUST MAKE
FOR THE GRISLY LANCELOT TO BE SLAIN
ELSE HIS TERROR WILL CREEP INTO OUR TIME
AND HAPPINESS AND PEACE WILL FADE
BUT THERE IS A PRICE HE MUST PAY,
THE ONE HE CHASES HAS PASSED AWAY
AND HE HAS WITNESSED HER DEATH AMIDST THE FRAY
HE REACHES CLOSER TO HIS DESTINY AT BAY"
As the story progresses, Scorpius and Rose enter into a fight in the Veil room of the Department of Mysteries and end up falling through the veil. Rose is quick to turn the time turners back before they fall, causing them to end up in the 17th century, leaving their wands behind accidentally. However Rose and Scorpius are soon captured by the local townsfolk who try to burn them at the stake.
They are rescued by a witch named Roslyn who Scorpius believes is the same girl who haunts him in his dreams and is immediately smitten by her. Roslyn turns out to be the daughter of Irwin Lancelot who runs a local apothecary in the town. He used to be a former Professor at Hogwarts who resigned voluntarily to take care of his sick wife who passed away soon after.
Scorpius and Rose are asked to stay at Mr Irwin's place, who tells them that they have tweaked two powerfully magical objects to reach here, namely time and death. Their conversation is soon overheard by Mr Irwin's nephew William Galehaut Lancelot whom Rose bumps into accidentally one day as he spies on her and Scorpius.
William soon informs his father Bernaby Lancelot of the arrival of two wizards from the future and Bernaby immediately deduces the meaning of it all. He expects the portal to enhance his magical abilities and transport himself to the future. He plots to kill Rose and Scorpius so as to magically transport William and himself to the future.
Irwin soon gathers his wizard friends including Prof Kai who informs everyone that a portal was created when Rose and Scorpius passed through the veil while simulataneously using the time turners. By asking Rose and Scorpius to perform magic, Kai concludes that Rose's soul has been less affected by the veil than Scorpius' soul since his wand performed a normal spell despite passing through such a powerful portal. This could spell doom for Scorpius as his soul maybe damaged beyond repair, should the wizards help them get back to their time. This information, however is kept hidden from Rose and Scorpius.
Kai also asks everyone to keep this information from Bernaby who will be aware of the mystical effects of the portal and is likely to use it to his advantage. We later find out that Bernaby has been following Rose and Scorpius.
Furthermore, Bernaby has recruited Prof Kai's son, Rupert to help him with his devious plans. Rupert , it seems has been distant from his father and dabbling in the Dark Arts.
Meanwhile, Roslyn and Scorpius get closer causing Rose to be greatly annoyed. William gets more curious about Rose and continues following her despite his father asking him not to.
And now the story continues….
