Chapter 5

There was a storm brewing outside and as the rain fell, Harry watched, thinking about what Hermione told him earlier. 'Malfoy confessed,' he thought. 'I've known her for five years now… I don't even have the guts to confess. Yet he did it even though he's been treating her unfairly.' It was dark and everyone else is sleeping, but Harry couldn't. He ended up wandering down to the common room, only to find Hermione sitting on a chair, seemingly in deep thought. He started approaching her but soon stopped. As he looked at her more closely, he saw a single tear roll down her cheek.

He thought it be wise to leave her be and not interfere, although he wanted to comfort her really badly. It wasn't his business and he shouldn't interfere; no matter how much it hurt him to see her like this. He went back to his dormitory and attempted to once again fall asleep, completely oblivious to what was currently happening down at the Slytherin Dormitories.

Malfoy stared in disbelief at this stranger standing in front of him, waving the flimsy piece of paper around like it was some kind of used tissue. Malfoy was not amused. He asked the stranger a question and he is expecting an answer, "hey!" said Malfoy, "I asked you a question and I'm expecting an answer!" The stranger continued to ignore him and kept waving the paper around… until it ripped. Now obviously Malfoy got mad when that happened, "you, you, you…"

"Where?" Said the stranger, looking around him.

"What?"

"What."

"Stop messing around!" yelled Malfoy, "who the hell are you, you ignorant fool!"

"Shh… quiet… you don't want to wake the sleeping students, do you?"

Malfoy glanced around him, suddenly aware of the other students, "let's talk in the common room. Follow me." Malfoy and the stranger walked down to the common room. The stranger sat down in an armchair and so did Malfoy. He could now see the stranger more clearly. What stood out most was his hair. Malfoy would easily have mistaken him for a Weasley, but if you look closer, the red in his hair is more vivid. He wore an eye-patch over his right eye. A green and black headband with strange scales kept his hair out of his eyes and he wore some kind of uniform with an orange scarf. "Now tell me. Who are you and what are you doing here?"

"I'm looking for someone." He said. "I'm on an important mission to find him."

"Okay, but you still didn't answer who you are."

"I'm not necessarily anyone but I'll tell you the name I currently go by… It's Lavi."

"Lavi?" Malfoy echoed.

"Yep. Lavi."

"Who is it you're looking for?"

"Someone… dangerous… If I don't find him soon… Well, things could get quite disastrous."

Just then Allen appeared behind Lavi's arm chair. Lavi didn't notice and got quite the fright when he heard his name. "Lavi? What are you doing here?" Lavi fell out of his chair.

"Allen! I found you!" Lavi rubbed his head because he bumped it on a table, "well… technically you found me."

"Wait." Malfoy spoke, "Allen's the dangerous person you're looking for?"

Lavi, had a very guilty expression upon his face. "Well. Dangerous is an over exaggeration. Allen is completely harmless." Lavi was then proven wrong when Allen hit him over the head. "Okay. I was lying! Allen is pure evil on the inside! But that's not the point. Because some idiot managed to bring him to the future, history is completely rewriting itself and that is incredibly dangerous. And I have been sent to bring him back to where he should be."

"So, you know how to send him back?"

"No. I'm not even sure how I got here. I just kind of assigned this mission to myself and I will succeed." Malfoy and Allen stared in disbelief at Lavi who was sitting on the ground smiling like an idiot.

Malfoy was the first to speak. "I thought you said that you were sent? You aren't making any sense…"

"Yeah. I guess… the more accurate thing to say would be that everyone at the Order is looking for you and I somehow ended up here and now we have to find a way back."

Allen got excited when he heard this, "so you have a way getting back?"

"No!" Lavi said with a smile.

"Explain please!" Allen returned the smile, except a murderous aura appeared around Allen as he did, giving off the impression of you-better-know-what-you're-doing-otherwise-I'll-r ip-out-your-remaining-eye-and-freaking-squish-it-a nd-cook-it-and-feed-it-to-Harry-Potter-because-I'm -really-frustrated-with-you-right-now; or something similar that's less extreme.

Lavi felt this aura and became incredibly terrified. Black Allen has appeared and Lavi was about to shit his pants. "But!" he said, "all is not lost for I may have a way we can get back!"

The murderous aura around Allen shrank a bit. "What is it?"

"We just have to use a time turner."

Allen remembered reading something about time turners; it didn't take him long to realise that what Lavi suggested is impossible. The laws around time turners were incredibly strict and they are very hard to come by. Not to mention that he would have to turn the hourglass an insane amount of times and also the furthest you can go is five hours. But if Lavi's the one suggesting it, there must be more to this. But Malfoy seemed to find this statement hilarious because he started to laugh. Then he got up and headed to the dormitories while wishing the two of them good luck. "Lavi, I hope you know what you're doing." Allen told Lavi.

"I know what I'm doing…" Lavi removed something from his pocket. It was a necklace with an hourglass on it. Lavi stood up and went to stand in front of Allen, the necklace dangling from his fingers. "Look. This is a time turner. But it's not just any time turner; it's a special type of time turner thought to only exist in legends. Instead of one turn taking you back an hour; one turn can take you back about a decade or so. Unfortunately we have a problem…"

Allen was just about to ask what the problem was when a student walked down to the common room, thus ending Allen and Lavi's conversation. Luckily Lavi managed to get away without the student seeing him. Allen decided that he should also be going to bed. He managed to finish his homework and was incredibly tired. He went to bed, hoping that he wouldn't oversleep again.

Harry was sitting in the Great Hall eating his breakfast with Ron and Hermione. Hermione was acting strange; not quite like her usual self. He suspected it was because of the Malfoy thing; if it wasn't then he was going to give up on understanding women. While everyone was eating, Dumbledore stood up to make an announcement. The crowd immediately went silent.

"Greetings students!" he said, "I have an important announcement to make regarding the dismissal of Professor Trelawney." The crowd broke into an ocean of whispers. Dumbledore held up his hand and the crowd went silent. "Although quite sudden-"

"Hem, hem." Umbridge interrupted Dumbledore.

"Yes, Professor Umbridge?"

"If it isn't too much to ask, may I take it from here? Headmaster?"

"Of course you may." Dumbledore went to sit down at his seat. Umbridge, in the meantime went to stand at the front of the table.

"Now, recently I've been attending classes to assess the teachers here at Hogwarts. Now, my attention was drawn to Professor Trelawney in particular; I have hereby deemed her unsuitable for teaching here at Hogwarts. However, she will still be living here but she will not be teaching anymore. Replacing her will be someone hand-picked by the Minister. Professor Diplash, will be your n-" Suddenly, Umbridge completely froze; several other students and teachers as well. A few of the students that were unfrozen seemed oblivious as to what was happening and kept listening as was if Umbridge was still speaking. The other few were completely aware of what was happening; including Hermione, Malfoy, Dumbledore, and Allen. Suddenly, everything was back to normal again. Some students realised that something wasn't right, others completely unaware.

"Goodness… Something feels strange…" Umbridge said. But it seems as if she simply shook it off. "Well, as I was saying. Your new Divination Professor is Professor Lavi."

'What' Harry thought, 'didn't she say Professor Diplash just a moment ago? Strange things are happening again… Almost like a repeat of that one Defence lesson again.'

"Professor, if you could please stand up and show the students what you look like." Said professor stood up. He was a young man, in either his early twenties or late teens. He wore an eye-patch over his right eye. He had spikey blood-red hair that we kept out of his face with a green headband and he wore a uniform of some sort with a tattered orange scarf. "Thank you. Take your seat. Now students; finish up your breakfast and start heading to class." Professor Umbridge and Lavi took their seats.

Harry finished eating his breakfast while wondering about the kind of teacher he would be. When he finished eating, he and Ron said bye to Hermione and started heading to Divination. Now of course Allen followed them again since he so conveniently has 'all' of his classes with Harry and Ron. They didn't say anything while they walked because they didn't want Allen to listen to what they say. When they arrived at Divination Professor Lavi was waiting. After everyone took a seat, he started talking.

"Hi everyone! I'm Professor Lavi! But feel free to call me Lavi because saying 'Professor' sounds way too formal. So before we begin, how about we get to know each other? So go ahead and ask me a few questions! And also tell me your name so that I know who you are! One, two, three, go!" No one put their hand up for a while. Eventually someone realised that they should be putting their hands up. It was Sarah. "Yes, Blondie?"

"My name is S-Sarah and… um… D-do you have a girlfriend?" Sarah said it while blushing.

'You can't ask a teacher that!' thought Harry.

"Yes I am single… It's quite disappointing, really… Now it's my turn! Do you have a crush on anybody?"

'A teacher can't ask a student that!'

"I have several crushes… I'm currently have a crush on fifteen different guys…"

"Aw… Sweet. Next question!" Ron put his hand up this time. "Yes? Aka Saru!"

"I'm Ron Weasley and I was wondering, how old are you? Because you look really young…"

"Well, Aka Saru, I'm nineteen-ish. Now I get to ask you a question! Why do you look like a monkey?"

"What?" Ron was stunned.

"I said why do you look like a monkey? Is it on purpose or is it an accident? I need to know!"

"This… I was… born like this. I guess?"

"So in other words it's purely accidental that you look like an orang-utan. Got it. Next question." Allen put his hand up this time. "Yeah Beansprout?"

"It's Allen and why the hell are you teaching here?"

"… To keep a close eye on you. And now it's my turn to ask you a question. Allen, are you the heir of Slytherin?" The class went silent. Allen looked slightly nervous, but shook it off

"I'm positive that I'm not if I am because I most certainly am not. Does that answer your question, Professor?"

"I would like to see you after class." Lavi looked quite serious as he said that. Allen for once didn't look very happy or easy-going as always. A certain tension filled the room and for some reason Harry just couldn't resist breaking the silence by bursting out in it laughter. In case you're confused, that was sarcasm and Harry didn't actually do it on purpose. Everyone in the class turned their heads to look at Harry, who was just sitting there laughing like the idiot he is. "What's so funny?" The young professor said.

"Nothing," said Harry when he finally calmed down, "I just started laughing for some reason. To ease up the tension a bit…"

"Tension…?" Lavi and Allen turned to look at each other. And then they started laughing uncontrollably. "Even less tension now, right?" When their laughter died down, Lavi said, "Let's get on with the lesson… No more questions. I'm actually quite happy that this is the first lesson of the day, because that means that we can get right into the activity that I want you to do. Who here remembers the dream they had last night? Put your hands up." Most of the students in the class put their hands up. "Okay, great. Those who remember, write it down. Those who don't… suffer in silence. By the write down as many details as possible. After you've done that you may have free time."

When the lesson had finally finished, Allen stayed behind just as Lavi had asked him to. "So, care to explain what just happened." Allen asked his red-haired friend.

"I don't know. I don't even remember talking to anyone but you and that blonde boy so I have no idea why I'm suddenly a teacher. It may have something to do with history rewriting itself. And like I asked earlier; are you the heir of Slytherin?" Lavi said to Allen.

"No. I'm not."

"Actually, you are."

"What?"

"Last night I was doing some research after I read that paper your friend lost. It's the paper with a spell that allows someone to summon the heir of Slytherin from the past. Shortly after that spell was cast, you ended up here in this time. It can't be a coincidence."

Allen thought about this for a while. "What if it is just a coincidence? I mean, the girl that casted the spell said that she wasn't sure if she did it right."

"If she didn't do it right you wouldn't be here right now. Also, the research I did also suggests that you're an heir. According to what I researched, around our time, the Slytherin family had a son. But they thought he was cursed because his arm looked strange and he didn't develop any magic, so they decided to abandon him. You don't know your parents, your arm looks strange and you were abandoned. Not to mention it's because of the spell you ended up here."

"You have a point. But you forgot that I do, in fact, apparently have magic." Allen stated.

"Your wand has innocence as a core. That's the only reason why you have magic. I should know because mine has innocence as the core as well. And in case you're wondering; I actually got my wand a few years ago."

Allen decided that now would be a good time to go off topic. "Yesterday, before we were interrupted, you were about to say something."

Lavi thought about it for a while, "yes. I had to tell you something important concerning the time turner…"

"What is it?"

"The one that I have is a fake."

Allen's face went into a sudden state of shock as Lavi said that. "I thought that was the real one!"

"Well it isn't. The real one is hidden somewhere in the castle. I don't know where though. Bookman would never tell me. All I know is that when we were here a few years ago to record something, Bookman decided that he should hide the time turner. I have no idea where it is. Do you see our problem, Beansprout?"

"It's Allen and yes I see our problem… So does that mean we have to look for it?"

"Yes it does."

"But what if someone has already found it?"

"Highly unlikely."

"But what if?"

"Then history is screwed!"

There was a knock at the door, after the knock, Sarah came in. "Um… Professor Lavi… Sorry to interrupt. I have something important to tell you… but I can come back later if you want…"She was just about to leave when Lavi stopped her. "Are you sure? You seem to be discussing something important with Allen…"

"Oh, we just finished talking. Come in and tell me what you need to." Lavi told Sarah.

"Thank you Professor…"

Allen decided that now would probably be a good time to leave. "Excuse me please. I should probably give you two some privacy."

"Actually… Um Allen… You should probably hear this as well…" Sarah blushed.

'She's so shy that it's almost cute.' Allen thought. "Okay, I'll stay." He said.

"Professor Lavi and Allen." She walked up to the two of them. As she walked, her pale skin turned grey and her blonde hair turned black. Crosses appeared on her forehead. Her eyes started to glow a feint gold. She smirked at the two stunned exorcists. "I am the fifteenth Noah; Valentine. I'm the Noah of Love!"

Yeah, I know I said that Sarah is only going to be a minor character. But I changed my mind. And while I'm on the topic of Sarah, CharmAsphodel7521 asked me if I live in Jerome ID because Sarah sounds like a friend. I was going to answer that in the last chapter, but I completely forgot. No, I live in Brisbane, Australia. And I literally just made Sarah up on the spot.

Anyway, thank you for the reviews, favourites and follows ^o^ I really appreciate it!

Thank you for reading :P
