The Marauder's Era (And Others) React To New Life;Second Chances

Chapter Nine

(A/N: Reverse Rules Apply from actual book: Normal for the first timeline (the ones originally reading/ watching); Italicize for Second Timeline (the ones that are appearing). Since I decided to do this, the chapters where the first timeline goes into the second will not be used in this. Hopefully you understood what I just said.)

The screen was still visible, as they group was to be shown the next bit. It came on to reveal a montage of the Slytherin's starting to talk to the other houses. Slowly but surely, they were making connections outside their houses.

Groups of students from different houses, more were groups of Ravenclaws and Slytherins, but a few had Hufflepuffs added to the group, Gryffindors had been the ones going up to the Slytherins, but there were still a little bit of those two houses in a group. In Hogsmeade, some mixed groups were forming but off in the distance, Orion and Dahlia were seen. Dahlia was paler then she already was and was looking down and tensed, clutched tightly to Orion's arm as they left.

"What's wrong?" Regulus asked. He had seen his other self, Sirius, and Lyra all kind of lean back and tense like the young Dahlia on the screen was. "Too many ghosts," was all she said. The screen had paused and replayed, now making all the ghosts the woman and three children could see visible to everyone.

It was then showing the Transfiguration class where Dumbledore asked her question after question. The group left, shaking their heads. Orion was holding an upset Dahlia's hand.

She had frozen looking down the hall

The screen froze for a second and then started again and they saw a translucent dark haired man in armor and a red cape, "Godric Gryffindor," James said. Some others who didn't believe the other to be Slytherin were now seeing James' point, well except Snape of course.

Dahlia snapped out of her frozen state when they heard, "PEVERELL" being screeched behind them as Walbitcha made an appearance. She started screeching about Dahlia and Orion holding hands when Orion finally snapped, "Get the hell away from us! You and I are not going to be married, it's not going to happen, now leave before I CURSE YOU," Orion's last few words had gone deeper as his eyes had flashed red. Dahlia had wrapped her arms around Orion to calm him down as Walbitcha scurried away.

Sirius and Regulus had been laughing seeing their mother look so scared while James asked Orion, "Was that your creature peaking through?" Orion had nodded as the screen started again.

The group was walking to their next class when Dahlia had started silently crying, the group looked at her in concern as she directed the group in a different direction. Shadow had appeared in front of the group and they ended up following her. On this new route, they had found Myrtle Warren looking terrified in front of the girls second floor bathroom.

People around the room were quite surprised seeing Moaning Myrtle not as a ghost. "Wait why was Dahlia crying?" Narcissa asked. "Because banshees can have that slight intuition if they've been around death; that causes them to cry. Dorea at that point had not which is why she hadn't reacted and I did. Basically Shadow had screamed for me," Dahlia explained. "Oh please, how much death could you have been around," Snape sneered.

"Oh, let's see. I remember my parents being killed, then there was Cedric Diggory, Sirius, Remus and Tonks, although I don't care for those two at this point, Fred Weasley, and everyone else that died in the war, I've seen classmates get killed, saw Bellatrix explode, killed Voldemort, again, and then saw you die from his snake. Oh and then there's the fact that I'm the fucking Mistress of Death," Dahlia snapped at him, affectively shutting him up. Orion was looking at his wife, making sure she was okay. James and Lily had grabbed there daughter's hands, still upset that she remembers their deaths. They all looked back at the screen.
