Chapter 2:
Juliunna Pov
"What should we do with her?" A voice that I didn't recognize said.
"I don't know. Who is she? She's obviously not a student-!"
"Come on let's take her to Madame Pomfrey." A different voice said. Suddenly I felt myself being lifted into someone's arms. I let out a strangled groan as I felt the bruises kick in.
"She's hurt. She looks like she's been in a war!"
"Severus, she's obviously been beaten! There's no war-! Oh!" A girl's voice said when I stirred again. I felt my fingers claw through the air for him. My Severus.
"Cissy, what's that around her neck?" Cissy… Oh no.
"I don't know…" I felt someone's fingers probe my neck, and stop at the necklace. It was a gift from Aunt Bella herself, with the Black crest engraved into it. "She's… She's a Black!" An excited voice said.
"Whoa ladies, looks like you have some far away cousin or something."
"Duh Lucius!"
I froze as the person started walking again. Lucius, Severus, Cissy! What' next, Aunt Bella?
I risked opening my eyes, and wished I hadn't. This has to be a bad dream. But their they were, right in front of me. Mother, Father, Aunt Bella, and… A very younger looking version of Severus. Why am I here?!
"Can you tell me what your name is?" Severus asked, and I suddenly felt conscious of how I looked. I can only imagine my appearance. Dry blood, ripped clothes, busted lip, and that's not to mention the dirt.
"Rhianna." I lied hoarsely. "Well okay Rhianna, what happened?" Aunt Bella gestured to the cuts and bruises along my body.
"Well," I paused and tried to look around. A sharp pain in my neck told me to stop, but I noticed that we were almost there. "I was attacked during the war-!"
"Told ya!" Severus said almost braggingly, but stopped at the furious look on my face. It wasn't till now that I thought that telling them all this was a bad idea.
"No!" I shouted, making everyone stop again. "I can't go there!" Was all I said, and slipped out of the person that I now identified as my Father's arms. Once on my feet, I felt really wobbly. At least five arms stopped me from falling. Oh no! I'm changing the past! I'm changing the past!
"Whoa there, calm down." Lucius said.
"I've read that war victims could have freaky effects afterwards-!" Snape started.
"You read too much!" Bella said, and heaved me to my feet. "Could… Could someone take me to the Headmaster?" I asked, and the effect was instant.
"I'll take her-!"
"No way dude, I know this school better-!"
"Say's who?!" The boys argued, and rolling my eyes, I took my mother, well I guess Cissy now, by the arm. "Will you take me please?"
"Sure. Come on Bella." She said. And we hurriedly walked as fast as we could before the boys could notice. "So tell us, who gave you those bruises?" Bella said, and I looked down to my arms. They were black and blue now. "Err, I don't know. Someone who was in the war-!"
"What war?!" Narcissa said, and I mentally clapped my hand to my forehead. "No please don't! Don't ask questions yet." I begged, and they finally agreed to wait.
We came to a stop outside Dumbledore's office, and I waited for them two to guess the password. My curiosity was peaked however, and I couldn't help but ask Auntie Bella a question.
"Bella, have you ever crucio'ed someone?" I asked, and she turned to me shocked. "Honestly… Yes. But if you tell anyone-!"
"Your secret is safe with me. Your really good at crucio's." I smirked, giving her a compliment. Bella turned to Narcissa, who was looking even more shocked at our encounter. "I like her." A smirk spread across my face as the boys caught up. They were breathing hard and glaring at each other as if they just had a fight. Well, I bet they just did.
"Well ladies, we know the password!" Lucius said, and I mentally groaned. He sounds so proud of himself.
"Good, want to tell me?" I said, and he nodded. "But first…" He leaned in, and I noticed that he was about to kiss me. "EW! Cruci- Opps." I stopped, for I was just about to Crucio my own father. Bella looked on proud, and the shock was evident on Lucius's face. But thankfully, Dumbledore chose that moment to open his door. He looked shocked to have four Slytherin's and an injured girl outside his office, but quickly recovered.
"Is there a problem here?" He asked, and was now assessing my bruises and cuts. "Yes, I need to talk to you. It's an emergency." I said, and he directed me inside. My new 'friends' tried to follow me, but Dumbledore blocked them. "She will be right with you." I heard him say, and heard them all groan as the door closed.
"Now, what is the problem Miss…?"
"Malfoy. Juliunna Malfoy. Can you tell me what year it is?" I asked. He looked surprised, but answered anyway. "1978 Miss Malfoy." I groaned and looked around, choosing my words closely.
"I don't belong in 1968 sir! I belong in 2015! I'm from the future you see!" I said worriedly. What if he doesn't believe me? "Where you using a time turner at the time?" He asked wisely, and I shook my head no. "Well do you have any idea that you got here, or where you got those markings?"
"Voldemort. In 2015, we were fighting a war. I back talked him, and I got hit with five different spells in the chest. There were purple, pink, red, orange, and a green one. But getting hit with them at once must have caused a whole different effect." I said, and he nodded, thinking. "I don't know what I'm going to do! Or how I'm going to get back!" I cried silently. My whole family could be wiped out, and I wouldn't even know!
"Don't worry Miss Malfoy, we can get you back. I'll just have a little chat with the Ministry." He said, and I felt relieved. "Thank you Professor Dumbledore."
"But of course, I have never heard of anything like this happening. They'd have to research the five spells, do a lot of digging, there's no idea of how long it'll take! Seeing as if… No one has ever gone forward in time." I groaned. "So there's no way possible yet for me to get home!" I screeched. He nodded grimly.
"But don't worry, I will definitely find a way for you to get home. Eventually. But until then, I promise that I will do anything to make you feel at home. You can stay here at Hogwarts-!"
"What? Here. But… What if I stay here and change the past? I could prevent my parents from ever meeting! I can prevent people from ever being born! What if… What if I cause a war?!" I screeched, totally horrified. "My father already has a crush on me! It's very gross, but what if he falls for me instead of my mom?! What if-!"
"Don't worry. If you were to change anything drastic… Well there's always the chance the ministry can go into the future and stop you from being sent to the past, maybe. Don't worry. Now, there's still the act of sorting. We'll need a cover story for the other students. Now, can you tell me everything you said, and or did from the moment you arrived here?" I nodded, and looked around.
"The four kids that found me know I was in a war, but they don't know what kind. They spotted the Black necklace, so they know I'm a Black. I lied about my first name though, Rhianna." I snorted, and he nodded, taking in the new information.
"And this war, can you describe this to me?" Dumbledore asked, know scribbling all this down on a notebook. "Yes, it takes place at Hogwarts. Voldemort, he had thousands of helpers. Human and non human. Including giants, dragons, dementors, and werewolves. Fenir Grayback was on his side. My friend Harry, he died. He was the chosen one. He was supposed to be the one that killed the Dark Lord. Voldemort made Hagrid carry his body so that everyone could see that it was over. That there was no hope." I took a deep breath and thought about the details.
"My family was on the Dark Side, and so Voldemort called me and my brother over. He went, but he didn't like it. If my family wasn't so scared, they would have joined me and stayed. When I didn't come, he called again. I told him no, and that I wasn't going to play his games anymore. We went back and fourth for a very short time, and then his Death Eaters got offended. I was hit by five spells. And as I fell… I can remember my family screaming. And then I heard a lot of spells being casted, and knew the fight was back on. It got really windy as I blacked out, and then I woke up here. Met my younger version of a family and they took me here." I finished emotionally, and he nodded.
"I'm very sorry to hear that. You sound like a very brave girl. I'm sure that your family is fine-!"
"Yeah, that of course depends on if Voldemort wins or not. But I shouldn't really worry about that now."
"Okay, since the hat is right here, we shall get you sorted, and then right off to the hospital wing. I wouldn't want those wounds to get infected."
(James Potter Pov)
"Hey guys, what do you think of that?" I asked my three best buds. We were just walking down the corridor outside Dumbledore's office, when I spotted four of the most hated Slytherin's. They were cuddled together whispering, so I took out my invisibility cloak.
"I don't know dude. Hey, go see what their saying." Sirius stated the obvious, and I nodded. "Yeah, their probably going to try and set off a Dungbomb or something." So pulling the cloak over me, I tiptoed over to their group.
"-She's definitely going to be in Slytherin. All the Black's have been in Slytherin-!"
"Andromedra and Sirius weren't-!"
"Yes but she's different. I can tell. Where do you think she's from?" Sniviless said, and I found myself confused. Who the heck are they talking about?
"I don't know Severus. Probably Durmstrange. They use all kinds of Dark Magic over there." Narcissa gasped. "That's why she said war! They probably had a duel or something, and it got out of hand! She probably apperated to the first safe place she thought of, and came here. Duh! That place is made up of mostly boys! They probably tried to assault her or something. Maybe she knew she couldn't fight them off, and came to Hogwarts!" She clapped her hands to her head, and I became even more curious.
"Well if that's the case, I hope she stays. She seems like she knows a thing or two about curses. And she doesn't seem to be like all of the other boy crazy girls we get here." Bellatrix said thoughtfully. I cringed. Obviously if the Slytherin's like her, then she's evil.
"Right! She's probably gay, that's why she didn't let me kiss her-!" Narcissa and Bellatrix shrieked outrage at Lucius.
"Just because a girl doesn't want to kiss you doesn't mean she's gay. Besides, didn't you see her hand? She had a ring! She might be engaged or married or something." Bellatrix snapped, surprising even her own friends. Bellatrix standing up for someone other then her own sister? Wow!
"Nah, she looks way too young to be engaged. But since she doesn't seem to be all over you and Cissy, I say… Maybe she just needs a little warning up." Malfoy said, looking happy.
"What about you Severus? Do you like Rhianna too?" Bellatrix smirked at Sniviless, and I found myself curious. I can't wait to tell the guys!
"Well… She seems pretty nice and all but… She's not very… How do we even know she'll be a Slytherin?" He blurted out. I had to stop myself from snorting, seeing as if it was obvious he liked her.
"Don't laugh at me! Lucius likes her too-!" He made an o face. Ha, he just admitted he liked her. Well, this isn't going to get any better, so I decided to go back to the guys. They were hidden behind a statue.
"Tell us mate, what's up?" Sirius smirked. I shrugged and pointed back at the group of Slytherins now arguing about what house she'd be in.
"There's a new student named Rhianna. Lucius and Sniviless like her, and Bellatrix and Narcissa want to be her best friend. She's a seventeen year old transfer student from Durmstrange too. And apparently, she came here all broken up and bruised. Said she was in some kind of battle there. She has a wedding ring, but it is most likely for show. We can ask her when we see her. Oh, and she's a Black. Say Sirius, do you know any Rhianna's?" I asked him, but he shook his head.
"We could be long lost cousins. But if she's hot well… We'll just pretend she's not family." He smirked, and Peter squeaked.
"What Pete?"
"Look! Is that her?" The four of us turned around, and I saw a very pretty girl.
"Whoa mate, you weren't kidding. She does look like she's been in a war!" Sirius exclaimed, and I studied her quickly. "Well, Narcissa said that the boys there might've assaulted her…" I drifted off as I took in all the blood and bruises. Her neck looked as if someone had recently choked her. When she walked forward, she had a bit of a limp.
"Dude, who would do that to a girl?" Remus wondered out loud, and I shrugged lightly. Her face consorted into pain when the girls grabbed her arms. Trying to support her weight, they held her up to question her.
"It looks like it hurts." I rolled my eyes at Peter's stupidity. (A/N: Why doesn't anyone like Peter? I swear I've read over twenty 'Back in Time' fanfictions, and the Mauraders treat Peter like crap! Not that I like him or anything but still!)
"Malfoy and Sniviless got her, we should visit her in the Hospital wing later on, see if she's alright." I rolled my eyes at Sirius, but agreed.
"You just want to flirt with her dude."
"Whatever James. She could be family, and I want to see if she's okay." Sirius said, and I almost believed him. If it wasn't for dirty smirk on his face that is.
I glared as Malfoy picked her up, probably to take her to the hospital wing. "Just watch what happens when she gets into Slytherin dude. She'll just be another memory." Remus said wisely, and I again rolled my eyes.
"Remus trust me, I don't care what house she's in, as long as it's mine. And if not… Well we'll see what happens." Sirius smirked, and I found myself wanted to punch him. She wasn't some kind of toy!
"Uh oh, looks like James is in love again. What happened to Lily?" Remus asked me, and I shrugged. "She doesn't like me, so why throw myself at her?"
"Whoa! I can't believe that you of all people are saying that! Dude, you've been in love with her for like… Four hundred years! Oh wait, six. But that's beside the point." Sirius smirked, and I shrugged.
"Well… Maybe it's time to move on. Right?" I asked, and they all nodded.
"Oh yeah dude. It's definitely time to move on. Just not with my girl." Sirius said, and I blanched. "What do you mean your girl? I saw her first-!"
"Actually I saw her first-!" Peter said, and I freaked.
"Shut up Peter!" Both Sirius and I shouted. "Listen dude, we can wait, get to know her, and then let her decide. How about that?" Sirius said, and I shook his hand.
"This isn't going to end well." Remus said, but I found myself not caring. "Yeah, I know that. But Sirius definitely won't be winning." I growled, but Peter spoke up again.
"I thought that you said Snape and Malfoy liked her. And if that's true, and she's in Slytherin… Winning her over might be a little harder then you think." He squeaked, and both Sirius and I shrugged. But I wasn't really worried, so I told him why.
"All it takes is a little persuasion Peter. Just a little persuasion."
