"We have to go." Loralei told Katie as they laid in bed that night. They were in the same tent that they were taken to when they were drugged. They had stayed for three more days. Both wanted to stay, to see the culture that intrigued them. To wear the soft clothes and be given tiaras of flowers by the children. They were treated better here than they ever have before...like royalty.
"I know." Katie said. "I miss Colin a lot."
"And maybe now that we did our job we can trade back our boys." Loralei nodded. "You go home and Sirius comes to Hogwarts."
Katie nodded. "We leave tomorrow afternoon?"
"We leave tomorrow afternoon." Loralei agreed. "We get home and help finish the war. I miss my godsons. I miss my fiancé. I miss my family. I bet you feel the same way."
"Mine's not as big as yours, but yes." Katie nodded. "It's time to go."

"We have to leave today, Grandfather." Loralei told him as they walked through the village, a small group of children ran passed them as they chased each other. There was a spring where teenagers were collecting water fifty feet from them. Everyone was going on with their daily lives since everyone was used to Katie and Loralei being around.
He sighed. "I've been waiting for this, Snow." He paused. "I might as well take you to the Futuri."
Loralei tilted her head to the side, confused. "What?"
"Our...what do you call them? They see what hasn't happened yet...your mother had the gift."
"So do I." Loralei told him. "We're seers."
"Seers, that's the word." He nodded once. "Do you want to see them?"
Loralei nodded. "Yes."
The two blondes stopped in front of a black tent, white sashes where the door flaps were. From outside Loralei could smell incense and could feel the heat pouring out of the tent.
"Go on in." Alti Vale told her. "There's nothing to be scared of. They wouldn't dare hurt you."
Loralei looked at him, confused. "What?"
"You have a future completely different to mine. You and only you can ask for it to be told." He waved her in. "I'll wait here."
Loralei paused a second before stepping inside. The tent was dark and smoky. There were whispers from around the tent, though Loralei couldn't tell where they were coming from.
"Hello?" Loralei said as she kept slowly stepping forward. The tent wasn't this big from the outside.
"Come farther in, Loralei Potter." Said a musical voice to her left. She was surprised that they didn't call her "Snow." Katie was the only one that called her Loralei here. She didn't know why they called her by this name, was it because that was the one she truly believed she was? Or was it because she still had to remind herself that snow wasn't just frozen water that rained down from the sky or blanketed the ground in the winter.
Loralei turned and walked towards there until she reached a table. There was a metal mirror-like bowl of water in the middle. There were four people in black, hoods covering their faces. Loralei couldn't tell if they were men or women, but she knew the voice she heard was a woman.
"Hello?"
"What do you wish to know?" Asked the same musical voice, but Loralei couldn't tell which one was talking.
"What does the future hold?" Loralei asked. She knew her fate was twisted in with the war.
"Ask what you truly want to know, Loralei. We both know what you want to ask." Said that voice.
"I want to know what the future holds." Loralei stated again, she didn't know how else to ask what she wanted to know. She wanted to know everything. She wanted to know if she and Sirius would get married. If she would have a family. She wanted to know when the war would end. She wanted to know who would win and how many people they would lose to do it. She wanted to know if she would live.
"The war will not last more than two more years." The voice told her. "But if you think that that is the end, then you are very wrong."
Loralei opened her mouth to speak, but the voice shushed her.
"Speak not, for we are not finished." Said the voice harshly. Apparently they did not want to be interrupted while they were giving her a cryptic answer.
"You will get your family, but not in the way that you will think." The voice said. "You will lose. You will gain. You will win." The voice paused. "It is not going to end in the way you believe. You are more important that you know."
"What do I win? What do I lose?" Loralei asked, her heart racing like she was running for her life. She took another step closer to them, she needed to know. She needed to know what she was giving up.
"You do not have the privilege to know yet. You cannot change the future, Loralei. You know that more than anyone. But you must sacrifice everything for the one you love most. Everything. Without thought."

Loralei was shaking terribly the rest of the day. Who did she love the most? What did this mean? She was in panic-mode and she didn't know how to get out of it. She was barely able to say goodbye to her grandfather. She needed to get out of there. She needed to think.
Katie knew something was up, but she knew better than to push Loralei. So they made it back to Hogwarts, and reported that they would not get any help from the veelas, but neither would Voldemort. Loralei never shared what she was told by the Futuri. Especially when she didn't know what it meant yet.
She had to give up everything without a second thought to the person she loved the most, but who could that be?
A/N: I know this is a short chapter, but it seemed like a good place to stop. If I am able to get all my homework done I may upload again this weekend...Class was canceled because Elsa froze the entire US...
Cap92A: Hey girl! Thank you! Honestly, yeah he is. I've been addicted to the Frozen soundtrack and there may be a few references I don't even know about in here. Haha. Do you wanna build a snowman?
Griffinclaw: Yep! I think the same thing. It would also leave too many things unanswered, don't you think? Thank you!
PookyBinky: I AGREE! He almost made this one girl cry Wednesday! Thank you!
C.B. Weasley: Thank you so much!
Please review!
