Ready Or Not: The Chaotics

1.1

 Harry and Ron were messing with a Time Turner that Lyra had received from Professor McGonagall at the beginning of the year. "Ron, leave Harry alone. If he wants to play with the darn thing, let him be," Lyra said, attempting to read her book while the two boys squabbled over the Time Turner beside her. "No, he's had it longer than me now; give it here, Harry." Ron snatched the necklace from Harry's grasp, only for Harry to quickly reclaim it, while Hermione gently nudged them both to the ground.

Lyra looked over at the boys who were fighting over what she had no clue. Lyra turn to the boys and rolled her eyes ." Guys." Hermione yelled as both Harry and Ron jumped and fell to the ground with a loud thud making the other three hit the ground as well. But when Harry hit the ground a loud cracking sound was heard throughout the bedroom. Lyra Looking down at Harry's hands to see that they broke her time turner. "Damn it, you two!" Suddenly, the room began spinning as a powerful surge of magic knocked everyone out. The energy from the Time Turner swirled, crackling with thunderous force, until a dark storm enveloped them all.

Waking up in the middle of the Forbidden Forest was definitely not on their bucket list for the year. "This is why we shouldn't argue over stupid things like a time-turner," Lyra grumbled, helping Hermione to her feet. Ron and Harry also stood up, brushing themselves off. "How were we supposed to know it would break?" Ron questioned, glancing at Harry. "Maybe because it was made of old metal and glass, you moron," Hermione retorted as they looked around and just started walking.

Once they reached the castle, their only thought was, "When are they?" "Come on, guys, let's find the headmaster's office," Harry said as they walked through the castle searching for the gargoyle that stood in front of Professor Dumbledore's office door. When they found it, Lyra knocked three times, paused, and then knocked twice more. After that, the gargoyle moved aside, allowing the four of them to ascend the spiraling staircase.

Reaching the door to Dumbledore's office, they knocked but heard no response. As they entered, they found the Professor being pinned to his desk by a tall man. "Well, that's something I didn't need to see," Ron remarked, causing the two to jump apart and glance at the door. "Pay up, 'Mione... I told you Professor Dumbledore was a bottom... he was acting like one," Lyra said while Hermione handed over five galleons. "I mean, the younger Dumbledore is attractive... but still," Harry commented as the two adults simply observed the scene.

"Can I help you?" Gellert asked the four children as he walked toward the door, pulling Albus back with him. "Umm... it seems you're a bit busy right now... but we're from the future," Ron said, turning back around. "Oh, I know that... but he didn't," Albus remarked, nodding at the man behind him. "Anyway, the teacher will arrive in a few minutes, and I'll explain what's going to happen until we can return you to your own time," Albus continued, gesturing to a room off to the side. "You can wait in there if you'd like." With that, all four children headed to the door and entered the room.

Not even five minutes later, there was a knock on the door, prompting the group of four to look up from their phones. "You lot can come out now," came a voice. They all rose and walked out to be greeted by seventeen different people. "Holy shit... Professor Riddle was hot when he was younger... oh wait, he was already hot... just like his son," Harry exclaimed, causing everyone to turn and look at the twenty-nine-year-old teacher, who wore a shocked expression. "I had a child? With whom, if you don't mind me asking?" Riddle inquired, looking at the boy. "Don't know, well you... You never really talk about your life outside of school... All we know is that they're dead now," Lyra said.

They all turned their attention to the group as Albus rolled his eyes. "First things first, you four will give us your names and ages," Albus commanded, gesturing to Harry first. "My name is Harry James Potter-Prince, and I am sixteen years old," Harry declared, glancing at Lyra who stood next to him. "I'm Lyra Hope Lupin-Black, and I'm sixteen years old," Lyra stated, turning to Ron. "Ronald Bilius Weasley, sixteen," Ron announced. As he finished, Hermione looked up from her phone. "Hermione Jean Granger, seventeen," she said before promptly returning to her device.
