A/N: Hope you doing all right and that your Monday's off to a great start. I am going to start out by addressing a guest review. Now normally I address reviews in PM's but as it was a guest I can't.

an – "No regular class hotel charges 11,000 pounds a month."

My response – You're right… if Harry stayed in a regular hotel room. But! He did not. I did the math at the time of writing with the hotel prices and took the price of the nightly suite rate and times'd it by 30 nights. And I got around 11,000 pounds. So, for a regular room, no it would not be that much. For a suite it could be. And no I don't remember exactly what hotel I based it on.

Now I didn't do this to be rude, I did this to show you that I did my research and used accurate information in this case. I'll admit I don't always but I made sure I did here. Thank you. Now without further ado, on with the story!


Changing My Life

Chapter 30: Um What?!

"It's not your fault. We don't know what happened. They disappeared Harry. Just gone. They vanished. It felt like time slowed down and this gold aura just washed over everything. And next thing we know they vani…" Hermione trailed off as herself, Draco and Harry all were surrounded by the very same golden aura. They all shared a look before Hermione grabbed Harry's hand and Draco's forearm before the three just vanished.

When they reappeared, they all whipped their heads around, looking around. They were in a huge white and black room. There were two big hour glasses on either side of the doorway in the far side of the room at was on a lifted level with five steps leading to it and half walls on either side. The trio shared a look.

"I see you're all confused. Don't worry, all will be explained." A voice drew their attention from each other to a man that was sitting at a desk that wasn't there seconds ago with his legs up on the desk.

"Who are you?" Harry demanded causing the man to chuckle lightly.

"As I said, all will be explained. You may be curious as to who I am, but aren't you more curious as to where you are? What happened? All of that good stuff?" The man responded with a light tone and a small grin.

"Fine, where are we? Why are we here? What happened?" Harry growled out. "Happy now?"

"Very. Now let's go in order shall we? Here." He gestured extending his arms wide and pointing down. "Is known as a time haven. Now before you ask what that is, I'll just spare us all the trouble and tell you. It's a place outside of your current timeline. They are used when time is in dire need of being altered or certain people need to speak outside of time."

"Alright but why are we here? And what the hell happened?" Draco bit out.

"What the hell happened is precisely what we must find out. No we are not one hundred percent sure what led to the events that did occur. What we know is however a completely different matter." The man replied vaguely.

"We?" Hermione interjected.

"We." A new voice said as they entered the room from the door and walked down the five steps into the area that they were in. It was a woman, dressed in a slim fitting black racer leather jacket, a pitch black shirt with tight black jeans and all black Nikes along with black taclite tactical gloves.

"Everything taken care of?" The man questioned as the woman walked up.

"Yup. We're all good to go." The woman assured him.

"They're both on board with this?" He questioned.

"Would it matter if they weren't?" The woman asked with a cocked eyebrow.

"Not really." The man grinned. "Okay, now that we're all here, we can explain more. This is-" The man got interrupted.

"Its you! I recognize you! You were at Hogwarts, you put down five death eaters instantly." Harry interrupted looking at the woman. The man and the woman shared a look.

"That was me, yes. We wi-" She was cut off.

"What are you wearing?" Hermione questioned. At the woman's confused look she clarified. "They don't make Nikes like that nor leather jackets with that kind of band collar." The man and woman shared another glance.

"They do… in 2019. Which is where I'm from." The woman admitted.

"Wait you're from over twenty years in the future?" Harry questioned thrown.

"Actually you're from over twenty years in the past." The woman remarked. "Anyway, none of that really matters right now. What matters is why this is happening."

"The present/future changed." The man simplified.

"Can we just start with who you two are?" Hermione suggested.

"Chaos, creator of the universe." The man, Chaos, grinned at their looks of shock.

"Chaos, as in from mythology Chaos?" Hermione questioned in awe.

"That would be the one." Chaos smiled.

"That stuff is real?" Harry asked eyebrows furrowed.

"As real as wizards and witches. Actually, we're the reason there are witches and wizards." Chaos admitted.

"Excuse me?" Draco cut in.

"We'll talk about it later." Chaos assured them before the trio looked to the woman for a introduction.

"Hayden, I don't have a cool title." The woman, Hayden, introduced.

"A last name though?" Draco asked.

"It doesn't matter." Hayden snapped.

"Obviously it does. So what is it?" Hermione frowned slightly. Chaos and Hayden shared a look, which ended in Hayden shaking her head.

"That's need to know, and right now none of you need to know." Chaos supplied. "Anyway, the reason you are here is because the future has changed. Hayden?"

"My mother died." She continued. The trio exchanged looks.

"I don't mean to sound rude but, so?" Harry responded.

"She died two years before I was born. How do you think that makes any sense? I remember life with her. Growing up with her as my mother, everything. Then one day, I was talking to family and my 'mom' came in. The person they thought was my mother, but I know she's not. Meaning the timeline changed." Hayden explained.

"If it changed and she died two years before you were born, how were you not erased?" Hermione questioned.

"That would be my doing." Chaos admitted. "Hayden is a descendant of mine, that's why she could remember the original timeline and why she wasn't erased." Chaos explained.

"How old are you?" Draco interjected.

"Twenty-One." Hayden answered simply.

"So that means you were more than likely born in 1998 depending on your birthday, and your mother died in 1996." Hermione said doing the math.

"August 17th 1998." Came the response.

"Do you know how your mother died?" Harry asked. Hayden and Chaos shared a look.

"The final battle. She was used as leverage against my dad." Hayden answered looking down briefly.

"Hayden… who was your mom?" Hermione asked slowly. Hayden looked at Hermione for a long second before shifting her gaze to Harry.

"Daphne Greengrass." Came the swift answer, causing looks of shock from the trio.

"S-she d-died?" Harry stammered, tripping over the words.

"She wasn't supposed to. Something changed. The old coot used her as leverage." Hayden answered bitterly.

"That-that would make you Potter's daughter wouldn't it?" Draco questioned sharing a glance with Hermione.

"I was meant to be. Yes. But as I said, the timeline is a tad screwed up right now. I'm in name, a Malfoy. Not in genes though." Hayden revealed. This caused all the trio's eyes to widened and mouths to fall.

"Please explain that." Hermione suggested.

"First of all let's separate my actual family from my timeline screwed over family. Before whatever happened happened, I was the eldest daughter of Harry Potter and Daphne Greengrass. Now in the screwed over timeline, I'm the daughter of Harry Potter and Hermione Malfoy." This declaration caused several looks to be exchanged. "After my mother died two years earlier, my father apparently disappeared, for two years. He came back when he heard about his best friends wedding." Hayden continued sparing a glance at Hermione. "Things happened, including a last fling, and not long later I was born. Draco knew the truth apparently but still raised me as my father never actually knew I was his."

"But you remember the timeline where Daphne didn't die?" Harry inquired.

"That's the original timeline, Miss Greengrass was never meant to die and Hayden was meant to be raised as a Potter. But as you now know, certain events changed this. We just don't know what exactly did."

"You mentioned old coot earlier. You mean Dumbledore?" Hermione recalled.

"Yes, we know that was her cause of death. Him. He used her as leverage against my father and when my father did what he asked. That happened in the original timeline as well, but in the screwed up one, she died. Other than that we don't know the difference." Hayden responded.

"That's why you brought us here. To fix it?" Draco put together.

"Yes, that is. That's why we've also reset time. Not too far, but it's been reset one week. We've planned it out so you will take your original selves places and hopefully can prevent the timeline from changing. Hayden will be there with you to help when needed." Chaos explained.

"What do we change though? How do we know what to do differently?" Harry asked.

"You know things you didn't last time. You can do things differently this time. Just don't replay the events from last time." Chaos answered.

"So when do we go back?" Hermione wondered.

"Now." Hayden answered seconds before the four disappeared in a golden light.
