Chapter eight: The three very annoying muggles

OoOo Mira oOoO

I let my head fall onto the surface of the cold window with a soft thud. I could already feel the tears rolling down my cheeks. Which was rare, I hardly ever cried. I couldn't help but feel a sense of overwhelming guilt, not to mention how alone, depressed, selfish and like a complete failure. I could still see the curse hitting her square in the chest.

"Brianne?" A voice asked from the door of the bathroom, someone had finally found me. I had known it wouldn't take very long. Myrtle didn't always moan. I had a lot of things to cry about, even though I had pushed my father out of the way, another curse had hit him while I was distracted; thus, leaving me back where I started.

I quickly wiped the tears from my eyes. But I knew I was caught, her expression was too sympathetic.

I caught sight of a girl with long black hair and green eyes standing in front of me. I knew her, but not too well, her name was Aria Wood. She was Oliver Wood and Penelope Clearwater's oldest daughter. She was the fifth year female Ravenclaw prefect, so she was a year above me.

"Oh, hello, Aria." I said; I could hear how thick my voice sounded. I mentally slapped myself, Malfoy's don't cry.

"What wrong, Brianne?" She asked sitting down beside me. Myrtle's bathroom had a window seat, why, I don't know, I guess I never will. Aria wasn't one of those people that would believe just any crappy story. It had to be a good one for her to believe it.

"I screwed up." I said; I began trying to hold back tears. She looked at me with an expression of worry. "I screwed up and now I have no one to help me unscrew up." I knew how true my words were.

"Brianne, how did you screw up?" She asked me apprehensively. I knew that she knew I had to have really messed up for me to be this upset. Upset is a horrible adjective… Not fitting at all, I was distraught.

"I got my best friend killed." I whispered as I pulled my legs closer to my body and buried my head in my knees. I had to be tough. I knew that eventually I could manage to save her and then I would have my best friend back, but I couldn't do that alone. Teddy alone wouldn't be enough to fix this. And as much as I cared for Jace, I wouldn't ask him to help. He had family that fought in the war, family that he couldn't afford to lose. "It's my fault Rosalie is gone."

"Rosalie?" She asked in confusion. I had forgotten that no one would remember her. I had even had to tell Teddy and Jace about her, she had been their friend too. I wouldn't deprive someone of their friend.

"Rosalie Shay." I said looking up. "We were closer than peanut and butter." I couldn't help but smile a little at that comment.

"What about Jelly?" She asked curiously, trying to turn the mood around.

"Theodore is the Jelly, Jace is the bread." I said remembering how we all came up with that at the end of our first years. I started to feel the familiar sting of tears in my eyes. "Put us all together, and you have Peanut butter and Jelly sandwiches." No one said it was the most intelligent idea; I never even liked PB&J's.

"That's cute." She smiled. "Do you want to talk about what happened?" I knew that she only wanted to help. I sighed. "Ali and I went back in time, we wanted to save my father." I could feel my hands shaking. "We had It all planned out, ten minutes and we would leave, that's all we needed…" I trailed off. "We got there and I pushed Daddy out of the way, but her mother, Jenna, got in the way and a killing curse hit her… Then while I was distracted another curse, aimed at an auror, hit my dad." I told her

I felt Aria lean forward and hug me. "Bri, you couldn't have known that would happen." She said calmly as I tried not to cry "You couldn't help how fate played out."

"No it was. I should have listened to her, Aria. She didn't like the idea of time travel. She knew bad things could happen. I had to go and be so damn selfish! If it wasn't for me my best friend would still be alive."

"Brianne, you couldn't have helped it." She said. "You can go back; I'm sure Teddy can help you." She said rationally, "I don't know him that well, but I have a feeling he would eat dragon dung if you asked him too…" I had to literally make myself not role my eyes.

"Theodore and I alone can't do it. I would have to move my dad out of the way, he would need to make sure Jenna was out of the way and we would need someone, who isn't Jace, to make sure nothing catatonic happens."

"Why can't Jason help?" She asked.

"He has too much to lose. And if I ever get Ali back, She isn't going back in time. She can help with planning, but I can't lose her again."

"If I offered, would you let me help you?" She asked me. I looked up suddenly. I had no clue what to say. I wanted to thank her and let her help, but then I didn't. I couldn't want to mess up another life.

"Aria, I can't ask that of you, I let Ali help and look where it got her." I told her. "Teddy could help… But I can't ask that of anyone else."

"It would be my choice," Aria said, she had determination in her sea foam green eyes. "My mother was away in America with me, my father stayed behind but he was in London at the time." She explained. "No one vital to my life would be in danger."

"Are you sure? You need to know what you're getting into." I told her, I didn't like the idea.

"I'm positive," She said smiling. "I want to help you get your friend back, and besides, it would be pretty cool to go back in time.

Ali, we are coming back for you.

OoOo Hermione oOoO

Hermione was now crying, as were all of the other girls in the room. Just imagining losing your best friend, well one of them, would bring tears to any girl's eyes.

"Did she save her?" Luna managed to ask, her eyes even hazier than normal.

"I don't know." Taylor said looking at the book. Her eyes were red and puffy.

"I read in the paper that a Jenna Shay gave birth to a Rosalie Elizabeth Shay." Harry said. "That was a few days after the war ended.

Hermione couldn't help but be relieved, that could only mean that Ally gets saved.

"Well that's good." Hermione said wiping the tears off of her face. When they are a little older, we need to arrange a play date." Hermione said leaning her head on Draco's shoulder.

"What I would like to know…" Draco spoke up suddenly. "Is how I went from dying down stairs by curse, to dying in a fire on the seventh floor…?" Hermione couldn't help but admit that he had a point.

Harry laughed. "I have a feeling that that will be solved later."

"But how long is later…" Hermione asked smiling. That could be days from now, or maybe months.

*snores* they all turned towards Tom. He was fast asleep or at least pretending to be. Apparently they were boring him to sleep. And it wasn't even that boring.

"How can he fall asleep that quickly?" Hermione laughed as she watched him snore.

"Well he has an excuse; an 'evil clown with a knife' supposedly chased him from the house this morning." She shook her head. "I never found said clown."

"Maybe he has been trapped in the house too long with that cat of his." Christian spoke up. "I hear talking to your cat nonstop is a clear sign of being crazy." Everyone laughed. (1) "As is claiming your elbow has a mind of its own…" He looked at Taylor with accusing eyes.

"That was one time!" She said trying not to laugh. "And for the record it was a group huddle/hug and I can't control what my elbow does." That caused more laughter.

"That sounds like an interesting story." Blaise said rolling hysterically

"In a way," They both said together.

"Can we go home now?" Seamus asked tiredly.

"Sure go ahead." Hermione sighed as she stood up. And within a minute he was gone, soon everyone else began to leave. It was rather late, if you call eleven eighteen late.

"They sure cleared out quick." Draco said as he and Hermione made their way upstairs. They didn't even bother to clean up the Library, it was pointless.

"When a person is tired, they can disappear quickly." She told him, she herself was only half awake.

OoOo the next morning oOoO

Hermione screamed when she opened her eyes the next morning. The first thing she saw was a big ugly face looming above her. It was not seven inches from her own, and it wasn't Draco. She scramble over to the other side of the bed and bumped into Draco who sat bolt upright.

"Why do I get the feeling you aren't Happy to see me?" The man who had been staring at her said with a small smirk on his face as he folded his arms across his chest.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL!" Draco said angrily as he looked over at him. "Who in the name of Dobby's sock are you and why are you in my house!" He wasn't happy.

"What are you doing here?" Hermione demanded angrily. She knew him, she knew him all too well. It was someone she had thought she had gotten rid of years ago.

"Too see you of course." He smirked. "Lor and Chris are down stairs." She swung her legs of the side of the bed in a furry, 'How dare them!' she shouted in her head.

"Draco, go call my mum and get Harry here…" He said stomping over to the bedroom door, "And make sure that Mira is okay." She said. They would be sorry if they touched a hair on her daughters head.

"Someone's grumpy." The intruder said with a rough chuckle.

"Who the hell are you?" Draco asked him again as Hermione made her way down the stairs. They were about to get a piece of her mind.

"Hello Her…" The woman in the sitting room was cut off.

"HOW DARE YOU!" She was definitely angry. "CANT YOU TELL I WANT TO BE LEFT ALONE! YOU CAN'T JUST GO BARGING INTO SOMEONE'S HOUSE UNINVITED AND MAKE YOUR SELF AT HOME!"

"We only wanted to know if you had re considered what we told you about." The man asked.

"Uncle Chris, Aunt Laura," She tried to say calmly but failed. "I want nothing to do with either of you. And I will NOT marry Zachary." She fumed. "I don't appreciate him coming into my room like that. I hope my husband cursed him into the next century."

They both stood open mouthed at the last part. I forgot they didn't know I was married. I heard someone coming down the stairs so I turned to look. Draco had Zachary at wand point.

"Did you check on Brianne?" I asked as he poked his wand into Zachary's back. The boy winced.

"I sent Dobby; he tells me she is fine." He said; that was comforting to Hermione. "Oh, and then I sent him to get Harry and your mother, they will be here shortly.

*POP!*

"LORI!" Amethyst said storming across the room. She looked furious, and I wouldn't blame her one bit. "What have I told you?" She demanded as she stood in front of her older sister. "She doesn't want to marry that buffoon. She is perfectly happy here with Draco and the baby." That last part also caught them off guard.

"B-baby?" Laura stuttered. She hadn't known about a baby.

"Yes." Hermione said. "Now please leave before I have to have Mr. Potter here escort you out." She said through gritted teeth. Harry looked confused; he hadn't been filled in on what was going one.

"You heard her, no leave." Draco said stepping up beside her. Harry had to escort them out, as well as stun them.

"The Dursley's no longer make my top three most annoying muggles list. They were just bumped to fourth fifth and sixth." Harry said trying to catch his breath.
