Time Travel is a Complicated Thing, Isn't It?

Chapter 9 - Quidditch

Remus couldn't understand as he slipped out of the ROR and headed back to the courtyard. If over 100s of years experts can create a cure for his condition, how can a 6th year do so? Its probably just a fraud. I mean, she can be smart but not that smart. He paced back to the courtyard and sat back down.

"You were in the bathroom for an awfully long time." Hermione said, suspiciously.

"I had to take care of my little furry problem." Remus replied. Hermione looked at Harry and Ron, who were looking thoughtful.

Xing rushed over with a red face but didn't stop. They watched her curiously, minus Harry, Hermione, and Ron, who seemed to know what she was doing and watched as she vanished into the forbidden forest. Lily stood up.

"We never told her that students were allowed in there!" Lily said, worriedly.

"Calm down Lily, she's probably not going in too deep. She just wants some fresh air..." Harry said sadly.

Ron spoke up, "Yeah, the deaths were the hardest on her. They reminded her of her parents' deaths since she has eidetic memory..."

Hermione stayed quiet, but had a mournful expression on her face.

Xing hurried back out of the forest and towards the group and collapsed onto the grass.

"Whew! It's so hot today!" She said, wiping the sweat off her forehead.

"What were you doing?" James asked curiously.

Lily inquired, "Aren't you supposed to being doing homework or something?"

"I finished 10 minutes ago, right after Remus left."

"You left?" Xing asked.

Remus nodded, "Bathroom."

Xing stared into his eyes for a few moments and said, "I need help on my assignment. Could you help me? It's in the common room though."

Remus smiled slightly and said, "Sure, I need to get out of the sun."

They paced in silence back into Hogwarts, in uncomfortable silence.

"So... your school was pretty advanced?" Remus asked.

"Yes," She said, surprised, "To us, this stuff seems a bit too easy for us."

"Why don't you ask the professors to pressure you?"

"Only 'Mione and I would do that, the boys, not so much. A bit like Sirius, I reckon."

"Do you play Quidditch?"

"Oh, yes. I play chaser, Harry plays seeker, Ron plays keeper, and 'Mione plays cheerer."

"Oh. Wait, what?"

"'Mione doesn't play, she cheers."

"Oh. You know, the Quidditch tryouts are tomorrow. James is the captain."

"Ooh, I'll tell the boys."

"Okay." They climbed into the common room. He waited as Xing went into the girls dormitories to get her homework.

She came back down with her charms essay.

"Okay, so-"

"Obliviate!" she cried out.

Remus blinked and his mind went blank. What was I doing? Oh right, I went to the bathroom then I came back and went to help Xing with her charms essay.

"Hello? Hello? Remus!" His eyesight cleared and he saw Xing frantically shaking him.

"Are you alright? You sort of went into a trance! I thought I had to take you to Madame Pomfrey. You were shivering and your pupils went up into your head and- oh, just are you alright?" Xing asked, nervously.
