The Inevitable

Chapter 19 - Fixing Wealsey

Hermiones POV

"What are the snakes doing here?" Ron muttered as we stepped into the classroom. I rolled my eyes as I placed my shrunken trunk on a dusty desk.

"Isn't it obvious? We are here to kill you Weasley," Theo said with a evil grin. Draco smacked him in return.

"Theo shut up," he sighed. I could see the tension in his muscles. I didn't want to see the Ron we saw in our future. He still showed the anger from that night.

"Right, let's get this over with. I need to see Dumbledore apparently." Harry had sat down with a huff. I waved my wand wrapping ropes around both Ginny and Ron.

"What the-"

"Hey!" They both yelled off complaints.

"I don't want to hear it," I said levitating them to chairs. "I have a lot to explain and I would rather not have you two running off half cocked."

"Hermione what is going on?" Ron asked pulling at the ropes. Draco stepped beside me causing Ron's eyes to squint.

"Draco and myself had a bit of a...trip-"

"Wait wait, Draco?" Ginny asked raising a brow. "Not Malfoy?"

"Yes, Draco. We were doing our rounds this evening when we stumbled upon a room hidden below the dungeons." Ron rolled his eyes before he opened his mouth again.

"Right, rounds. Is that why you two are dressed for a date or some shit?" I looked down at the dress I had thrown on in our future. Draco was still wearing his button up and slacks.

"I know we look odd, but I promise it'll all make sense." When he opened his mouth again I spoke over him. "Just please give me five minutes Ron." He closed his mouth and nodded. Theo sat down next to Harry then.

"I would just like to say we only found the room because Hermione threw me into the wall...well hole in the wall." Draco commented causing Theo to snort. Draco shot an icy glare Theo's way, but it didn't stop his laugh.

"Anyways," I said turning my stare to Draco in warning, "we found this room. It was full of random objects. I'm assuming it must've been storage that someone had forgotten long ago. We were arguing when we saw a painting. The painting was Draco and myself...from 2002."

"Say what?" Ginny asked looking at us like we were insane.

"You heard her right Weaslette. It sent us into a tizzy. We fought some more and then she knocked over a vase full of sand."

"Me? No sir, you knocked over the vase." I said stabbing my finger into his sternum. He smirked down at me in return. I huffed hating that I was starting to enjoy that smirk. Just last week I had wanted to smack him for it. "Moving on," I said turning back to the four staring at us. "Draco knocked over the vase. Inside the vase was a broken time turner that sent us into the future...to December of 2002." Ron laughed until he was wheezing.

"Oh blimey, Mione I don't know how you got the ferret to agree to this charade, but it's quite amusing." I couldn't stop my eyes from rolling. In fact, I was surprised they hadn't gotten stuck like that.

"Not a charade Ronald. We ended up in 2002 where we met all of the future versions of you." I said pointing to the four of them.

"Was I hot?" Theo asked raising his brows. I shook my head watching Draco smack the back of his.

"It turns out it was all planned by our future selves. Apparently we had to travel to the future to see some stuff...lots of stuff." A shiver ran down my spine thinking of the awful memories we had to watch. "Draco and I learned a lot. He must become a spy for the order in the coming war. We have to make sure we follow his instructions. We will be hunting something called a horcrux, there's seven of them-"
