a wrinkle in time

001. whats your name?

(a/n, italics mean it's what adora is thinking right now)
in a flash, adora felt herself being compressed and sucked through space. of course, she didn't know that, all she knew was that it hurt. she screamed in pain, "moony!" she yelped, "dada! help."

she landed on the floor, shutting her eyes tight. by now, she was sobbing, curling up into herself. "albus, what happened?" someone asks, "albus, how did she get here?"

the boy named albus didn't seem to answer. adora's sobs subsided, turning into a small hiccup. "moony?" she asked. she was in the same room, i think? adora thought it looked the same, though there was a red bird. "where am i?"

"my dear girl, who are you?" an old woman asked, leaning down towards her. "albus, you don't think this is a death eater, do you?" death eater? what's that? i heard siri say they were bad. am i a death eater?

"what's your name?" adora asked, confused. she rubbed her eyes with her fists, trying to wipe off the small droplets of tears. another boy came through the door, and adoras whole face lit up. "james! prongs! it's me! dora." she quickly got up, running over to where james was staring at her. "dora," she pointed to herself, "james," she pointed to him.

"i- i'm not james," he replied, "i'm harry."

"no," she stated, "you james. where lily?" she put her arms up, waiting for prongs to pick her up. "up, up, up. bring me to moony."

james slowly lifted her, still looking confused. "professor?" he asked, "who is this?"

the woman only shrugged. "she just appeared. apparently she's looking for someone named 'moony'," she replied. it was as if a light turned on in her head, because her eyebrows rose. "moony... do you know padfoot?" she asked slowly.

"yes," adora nodded, "dada."

"albus," she turned to the man with a long beard, "do you think she traveled in time?" she couldn't be bothered to listen to what they were saying. instead, she buried her face into james' neck, dozing off.

the next day, she woke up in a room she never seen before. where was james? she quickly spotted him, walking over to him and jumping in his bed. he was still sleeping. "james, james, james," she squealed, waking everyone else up, "wake up! where's moony?"

another boy groaned, turning the lights on. "harry, who is this?" he asked, staring at dora with wide eyes. "don't tell me you've gone and adopted a kid."

"i did not," james replied, "she just appeared somewhere. keeps calling me james."

what? is his name not james? moony said his name was james. did moony lie?

"look, dora, go to sleep," he said, yawning. "i'll wake you up in the morning."

"no," she answered, "you tuck me in. siri tucks me in. you have to do it."

"alright," he picked her up, placing her in their spare bed. quickly tucking her in very, very tightly. "goodnight, dora."

"no," she stopped him, "kiss."

another boy sniggered, james glared at them. why was james being mean? james quickly bent down to her, kissing her forehead and walking back into his own bed. "goo'night everyone! i'm dora. and i'm four." sirius had told her to always say who she was before she went to bed, just so she wouldn't forget.

it didn't work, sure, but it was fun.

dora had changed into a bright blue dress ( with the help of james, who closed his eyes the entire time), holding james' hand. he was bringing her somewhere for breakfast, but she didn't know where. "up," she demanded, lifting her arms up.

"malfoy is never gonna let me live this down," he muttered, carrying her. dada said malfoy bad. malfoy bad, ugly, blonde, bimbo. bleach go into brain. bleach make him dumb.

they were inside a giant room that dora had never seen before, but she liked it. harry brought her to sit at one of the three? six? tables. she couldn't count yet. adora moved to sit on his lap, opening her mouth. "you're s'posed to feed me. hurry, james," she pestered.

"errr, here comes the airplane?"

"no, here comes the broomstick! dumb, idiot, four eyes," she muttered. moony called james that. she opened her mouth, eating the piece of bacon that james had given her. "thank you, james."

"oi, potter, who's that?" malfoy.

"none of your business, malfoy!" james called back.

"bad malfoy," adora muttered. "ugly, death eater, stupid, fuckin' dumbass." james stared at her, looking amused. "your words, not mine." it's true, jame shad been the one to say this.

he smiled, giving her another piece of bacon. "oi, harry, who's this?" someone asked. red hair, red hair, red hair. who had red hair? the twins? oh, fabian and gideon!

"hi, fabian!" dora giggled, "or gideon. it me, dora!"

"who? i'm ron." he introduced, looking towards james. he took the spot next to james and adora. another girl came, sitting on james' other side.

"aww, harry, who's that?" she pointed towards dora, who was happily munching on a piece of toast. "you're so cute!"

"it's adora," he answered, "don't get crumbs on me, please."

she nodded, "what's your name?" dora stared at the girl.

"i'm hermione."

"her-ne."

"her-my-nee"

"her-mees"

"close enough," she shrugged. "are you taking her to classes?"

james nodded, "yeah, either that or i leave her by herself."

"let's go," dora ushered, hopping off his lap. she looks at the big table at the front. she saw the old teacher, the man with the white beard, and... moony! "MOONY!" she yelled, running full pelt towards him. he only stared. "it's dora!"

he didn't move. "moony?" wait, this doesn't look like moony. why does he looks old now? "where's pads?"

"adora!" james yelled, running to pick her up. "sorry, sir, she thought you were someone else, i'll take her."  james brought her out of the hall. why didn't moony talk to her? why wasn't he moving? is he dead? pads said when you're dead, you can't move or talk, or breathe.

"blimey, harry," fabian (or gideon. she could never tell) said, "you've got to babysit her?"

"no," james corrected, "we've got to baby sit her."
