Chapter sixteen: A conversation
OoOo Mira-Bella oOoO
I watched as my mother spun around to face me. I noticed how she just stared at me with a look that showed confusion, shock, recognition, disbelief and fear. Shoot if I were her I would definitely be a little spooked if I saw someone who was so familiar that I couldn't quite place it.
"You recognize me don't you?" I asked with a big smile on my face. It was kind of nice to know that she did. She didn't say anything. "People tell me all the time that I look like my daddy." I said and frowning a little. "But Auntie thinks I look like my mum."
"Oh my sweet Merlin." My mother's sixteen year old form said to me. I could tell that she was trying to make sense of all of this… "You look so familiar." I smiled; she sure was one to state the obvious.
"Well I would hope so…" I said laughing just a little. I really couldn't help that though. "I'm Mira-Bella Brianne." I said remembering that I hadn't introduced myself. I saw more confusion enter her expression.
"Brianne?" She asked just looking at me. "Why haven't I ever seen you here at Hogwarts before?"
"I thought that would be relatively obvious." I said looking at my mother "I'm from fifteen years in the future." I said quietly, but I know that she had heard me.
"How is that even possible?" She asked me quickly, "And don't say time turners, they can't take you that far back into time…"
"Time Travel Spell, you can send just about anything back in time." I said smiling, "Well within reason, I mean you can't go back any farther than then the day your parents were born," I explained, I had tested that a few weeks back, I had assumed it would have been the day I had been born… but as we all know, that's wrong. I guess that has something to do with the fact that you can't exist without your parents… I walked over to a table and sat down on a bench. My mother sat down next to me. "And you can pretty much go back farther than that if you travel with someone older than yourself, like Teddy and I did."
"Who's Teddy?" Mum asked me.
"Oh, I'm sorry; I forgot that you didn't know him." I said remembering that little detail. "He is my father's mother's sister's adopted daughter's son." That seemed to confuse her just a little, and I guess that is understandable so I started over. "To make things clearer let's just say he is My god father's god son and my best friend." I smiled "I think he went to find his god parents who are also my god parents." I laughed, that kind of made us family in my opinion...
"That's not confusing at all." My mum whispered sarcastically, that was just very unlike her. "So why did you come back in time?" She asked me a few moments later.
That was an easy question… but I had to think about how to word it. "To save mine and Teddy's families." I said looking at my hands. "Teddy's family was killed in the war along with my father." I sighed, I wished he could have lived, we would all be so much happier and I wouldn't have to time travel.
"What about your mother?" She asked me sympathetically. I could tell she was concerned.
"She wanted revenge for my father so she killed the man who killed my father." I said quietly. Which that was actually kind of funny.
"So she is in Azkaban?" she said slowly as if trying to clarify what she had just heard.
"No, Mum isn't in Azkaban, they said she was innocent and that it was self-defense." I said smiling weakly, "though she was forced into to a marriage by the ministry, they have this whole marriage law that says that if you are not married by age twenty one that you will have someone picked for you. Same applies to widows, they make you re marry." I said, I knew a lot about the law in question, I had tried to learn as much about it so that maybe I could find a way around it if I ever had to… I had found a loop hole or two...
"That is horrible!" Mum shrieked. "What if you don't like the person you are put with? What if you hate each other?"
"Then your screwed, there isn't a way out of the arrangement unless you kill yourself." That was a lie… but I could quite expose my loopholes just yet, if I did, they might find them. "Auntie tried but mum wouldn't let her and Lavender Brown threw herself into the Brain tank in the Department of Mysteries, Mum found her." I continued, if she had known who I was the daughter of, she would have been mad that I knew all of this… I wasn't supposed to know...
"Who are you parents Brianne?" she asked, I had purposely not told her this bit of information. And I had a good reason. That was something that she would have to find out on her own, I could just about tell her anything, but not that.
"I cant tell you that, you will just have to find out for yourself." I said as I heard the door burst open. I turned to see a boy with brown hair and piercing purple eyes run into the room with a tall girl with black hair ran in behind him.
"Brianne, we just saw Professor Beeler!" The girl panted and I rolled my eyes.
"She doesn't know us." Brianne laughed. "She won't for me for what a year and she won't know you for eleven or Teddy for twelve." She might know teddy before then… If I manage to change everything.
"Oh right." They said and calmed down. "Who is she?" Aria asked when she saw mum sitting next to me.
"Aria, Teddy this is Hermia Riddle." I said smiling.
"Most people just call me Hermione." She said quickly as to not cause any confusion.
I watched as Aria and Teddy exchanged looks. "No way! Really, you look so different Hermione. Not as sad, more alive." Aria said off handedly. It was more of a type of rambling habit she had.
"What do you mean? I'm always full of energy." Hermione said looking at the two in confusion.
"Well…" Aria trailed off. She couldn't exactly answer that, and Aria was aware of that.
"We should get going!" I said standing up quickly I practically jumped up off of the bench and ran over to the two of them. "It was nice talking to you Hermione." I said grabbing onto Aria and Teddy's arms and pulling out my wand. I silently said the spell and disappeared.
"What was that for?" Teddy asked when we landed back in the library, everyone else looked on in confusion.
"I thought it was going to slip out… Whether it be from you, Aria or even me." I said putting my wand on the table. "And besides, we needed to get back." I sat down tiredly at the table. Time travel tended to make me tired, and seeing as I was going to be doing a lot more of it, and that it was going to be a lot more dangerous… I needed all of the rest I could get. Soon I would be changing the little things in their lives… and that was going to be interesting.
OoOo Hermione oOoO
"I remember that." Hermione said leaning back into her chair. "I remember how weird it was and not knowing what to think…" Everyone turned to look at her.
"I remember you telling me about that…" Draco said… "And what does she mean by 'change the little things.' He asked everyone. "What the Hell did she change?" He asked in confusion.
"That is a very good question." Ginny said thoughtfully.
"And who is this Professor Beeler woman?" Taylor asked glaring at Christian… He got a scared look on his face and shrugged.
"Cause if it's anyone but me you will be killed in your sleep…" She said causing the others to laugh. "And if it's me why would I be against time travel… I'm not against it I think its bloody cool!" She glared at Chris again. "which brings me back to my previous question…"
"Oh, Taylor, I am sure you have nothing to worry about." Luna said from across the room. No one had realized she had moved to look out of the window…
"I agree with Luna." Ginny said, "I'm sure that whoever it is, it will all be explained." Laughter filled the room again.
"It had better…" Taylor said looking down at her hands. She had suddenly become worried…
"And keep in mind that things in this journal aren't necessarily true to our world…" Hermione said reassuringly.
"I guess that's true…" Taylor said before smirking. "So… speaking of things that are different… Do you have something to tell us?" Taylor asked looking at Hermione.
"No, nothing interesting…" Hermione said and it was obviously a lie. You could tell by the way she wouldn't look anyone in the eye.
"Oh, I would call it interesting…" She said with that same smirk. "I mean that's just me… but yeah…." Everybody was looking expectantly at her.
"I absolutely have nothing to tell… At least not yet." She smiled sweetly before standing up. "So who else wants chicken nuggets… we have a lot of Chicken nuggets… Feel free to help yourself…" She said backing up towards the door. Hermione was going to get her self some chicken nuggets…
OoOo Draco oOoO
Draco just couldn't figure out why Hermione was acting so weird. He had pondered that question for the last twenty four hours and it still made no sense… Yes she always acted weird in his opinion, though he loved her despite that… But never had she acted this odd… Well maybe once but that was a while back.
He tried to think back a little bit and that's when it hit him like ten tons of brick… He smiled to himself. Half in accomplishment and half was a whole other emotion that I shall not go into…. Hmmmm….
OoOo Hermione oOoO
"So, have you two set a date for the wedding yet?" Hermione asked Ginny and Harry once everyone was sitting at the table for lunch. It had been the only way she could think of to take the attention off of herself, at least for the time being.
"We are thinking about Halloween." Ginny said smiling. Voldemort dropped his fork and his chicken nugget flew across the room hit a window then a vase and not to mention that it then hit the ceiling fan and sprayed every one with little bits of chicken.
Hermione closed her eyes and took a breath. "Go get a rag and clean It up." She said with her lips pressed into a thin line.
"Why Halloween?" Tom asked as he got up to go get his rag. He had a funny look on his face as he said it.
"Because I like Halloween." Ginny said picking up on why her father was acting so funny. "What do you not like that day?" she questioned innocently.
"I just wouldn't think Harry would want to have it on Halloween… Because of uhhh… erghh… Bad memories you could say…" He said awkwardly as he rubbed little chunks of Chicken off of the floor.
"I wouldn't have bad memories if it weren't for you…" Harry said flatly. It was quite comical.
"Oh, Harry tell him what you have planned for him…" Ginny said smirking.
"Oh yes… Voldy my friend. For the pain you have caused me, even though I forgave you… You have to apologize officially to everyone at the wedding for the sufferings you have caused them…" He said with an amused tone.
Tom's eyes grew wide with horror as he looked up from the floor at them… "NOOOOOOOO!" He screamed. It was quite comical….
