Following him back into the wooden area they came from, with time they came across a tent. The man held open the door, allowing them in. It wasn't as grand as expected but still large. Having them sit down, the gentleman joined them looking at Harry and Hermione.

"We are here, please enlighten me with what is going on." It was firm, but there was no malice in the voice

"Hermione, you are the best at telling the story." Harry put her in the spotlight

Sending her friend a glare, it was up to her. "Very well. Let me try to get through this without questions. Afterward, you can ask away. To start we are from the year 2006, not this time. All of us except for Ginny, the ginger, work at a place called the Ministry of Magic. While working there, we were in the process of securing an object that could cause yet another war if not taken care of properly.

"Unfortunately what we thought would be a smooth job, turned out to be us having to put that task on hold. We ended up in what we thought was a secure location, however, they broke through. When we were about to move through time, they hit us with a spell and changed it. Now we are here, with no possible way home."

Seeing his face fall, "The fight continues even in the future."

"But there have been many good outcomes. This time around we did defeat the worst man, now we are cleaning up the mess. Even I am a muggle-born, thriving within the magical world."

"You are known to purebloods?"

Nodding, "Yeah, Hermione is known very well. She is one of the brightest witches of our time." Blaise praised, earning a smile from Ginny

"I am smart, but I've worked to get to where I am. It hasn't always been an easy road to walk." No one beside Draco saw her gently touch her arm, retracting it just as quick

"We're rude, we haven't even asked your name," Harry spoke

He straightened his clothes, trying to look presentable in their company. "It's William sir. Sir William Longbottom."

"William, could we go meet the Queen? We might be able to help while we figure out how to get home."

"She would appreciate that! I was to head out tomorrow, I can go round up some horses in the morning. Then we can leave after a quick meal."

"That sounds good to us. We are starving!" Ginny spoke

"Do you have food?"

"Yeah, we have some. We don't have anything for you though." Hermione answered

"Do not worry for me, I gathered food just before we bumped into each other." He stood smiling, leaving the group to eat

"Looks like Granger has an admirer." Draco teased

"Shut up, ferret." Hermione hissed back, forgetting that she wasn't going to speak to him

Not taking the hit to stop, he kept going. "It seems that wherever you go, you get a following. Must be hard to keep track of your posse. Is that why the weasel left? Too much competition for him to handle?"

"Enough!" Harry spoke up, startling the group except for Hermione who refused to gaze up

"Okay. Sorry." Draco spoke standing up with his food and heading out the door, not bothering to continue the feud

After a few moments, William came back in, looking back out to Draco and then to the remaining group. Confused about the occurrences that were presenting themselves.

"Is everything fine?" He asked

"Yeah. Everything will be okay," Hermione spoke finishing her small ration.

"There are two beds for the ladies to use for the night. The other furniture will be available as I will be sleeping outside tonight."

"Thank you." Hermione smiled spotting the infamous ferret re-enter the tent

Watching him bow, "The sun will be down in four hours. Good night." With that, the group was left alone.
