In the past

Chapter 2

Dumbledore asked if he might speak with the girls privately, and they left the Great Hall together, walking into the quiet corridors.

While the girls were talking to Dumbledore outside, the students buzzed with confusion and curiosity. Some of them approached teachers with questions, but the staff had no answers either.

"Dear students, I see you're all quite confused," Professor McGonagall began, her voice calm and steady as she addressed the hall. "Allow me to explain. Both girls are from the future. They've been sent here with the mission to alter the course of both our future and their own. It seems that if things remain as they are, it will not be pleasant for most of us. They will introduce themselves to you in just a few moments, so please, be patient."

The students waited, each second stretching longer than the last, until finally, the girls returned to the Great Hall.

"Please, introduce yourselves to the school," said Dumbledore, gesturing to the girls.

"Alright, I'll go first," said Samia, stepping forward. "My name is Samia Travers, but please, call me Sam or Sami. I have other nicknames too, but those are the ones I prefer. I'm 18 years old, in Ravenclaw, and one of the top students. I speak German, Russian, Arabic, French, and Hungarian...though, that may be a bit unnecessary to mention." She smiled wryly. "I was born into a Pureblood family."

Several students raised their hands, eager to ask questions. "Let's let Fin introduce herself first, and then we'll take questions," Sam told the students, nodding for Fin to go ahead.

"Um... hi," Fin said with a small, nervous smile. "My name's Sofina Shesta, but please call me Fin. Like Sam, I've got plenty of nicknames, but Fin's best. I'm 17 and in Slytherin. I'm also a top student. I can speak Czech, Greek, German, Hungarian, French, Spanish, and Ukrainian." She paused, glancing at her friend. "And I'm also Pureblood."

Fin stepped back, giving a quick nod.

"Alright, alright," Sam said, looking at the crowd. "We'll answer some questions now, but not too many! Okay, you—with the pink strand in your hair."

The girl Sam had pointed to lowered her hand and asked, "Why aren't you wearing your school uniforms?"

Sam laughed lightly. "Well, I think since my third year—and Fin's second—we only wore them when we absolutely had to. I would've worn mine today, but since we didn't have our Defense Against the Dark Arts class today, it just didn't feel necessary."

Another voice, this one younger and from the back, called out, "Why does Fin have those scars on her face? And those tattoos on her hand?"

Fin's smile faltered for a moment. "Um... the scars are from a fight I had a while back," she said, glancing briefly at Sam. "And the tattoo... well, I don't entirely know why I got it, I just really liked it, so... yeah."

"Alright, who wants to ask the last question?" Sam asked, scanning the room. A boy with long brown hair and yellow highlights raised his hand.

"Why does the future need to be changed?" he asked, his voice serious.

Fin glanced at Sam, her expression softening. "You see," she began carefully, "many of our friends and their families have suffered a great deal. I believe there was—or maybe is—an upcoming war, and, well... nobody wants that." She left out some of the graver details, but the hall had fallen silent as her words hung in the air.
