OH NO JAMES, YOU DIDN'T (Harry Potter Next Generation Time Travel Fan Fiction)

Chapter Thirty-Five

James wandered around Hogsmead, oblivious to what is happening around their family.

"This is boring" James muttered not really having an idea of what to do.

"I could be strolling Hogsmead with Alice today, should we have stayed in our time" he thought bending his head against the slap of the wind.

"Oops I'm sorry" he said as he bumped into someone.

"Do watch where you're walking, boy" said a sneering voice that makes James freeze in his tracks.

He looked up and saw Lucius Malfoy.

"I don't recall seeing your face before" Lucius said narrowing his eyes.

James did not reply.

"Ah, you must be one of the new students Draco mentioned about" Lucius added.

James gaped, still unable to come up with a reply.

"It is rather odd for Dumbledore to accept transfers and a large number at that" Lucius commented. "Draco said you lot came from ah, Australia?" he asked peering closely at James.

"Ah, n-no sir" James stuttered. "My siblings and I are-are from Ireland"

"Ireland?" Lucius repeated, his brows lifting as he peer down at James "I see" he added after sometime.

"E-excuse me sir" James said "I think I'll head back to the castle" and without waiting for Lucius' reply, he ran.

"What?!!?" Molly II yelled.

They were inside the Room of Requirement. After Rose, Scorpius and Albus' encounter with Luna, they hunted up their cousins and drag them back to the castle to tell them what happened.

"Why is it that whenever somebody finds out about our secret it is always with you three?" Molly II said, hands on her hips.

"We didn't let it slip this time" Rose said indignantly.

"She found it out herself" Albus added.

"She really is amazing, putting the pieces together just by observing" Scorpius said with awe.

"It's not really the time to be amazed with her skills, isn't it" Louis said looking amused.

"Relax Molly, I don't think Auntie Luna's going to blab about it" Albus said.

"Albus got a point there" Dominique said "Besides, if for instance she did tell anyone about it, do you really think they'll believe her?" she added.

"I don't think so" Hugo said "The students always make fun of her"

"And it is really mean of them. Auntie just has a very open mind" Luna said heatedly.

"There there Lily, don't be so riled up" Louis chuckled.

They all jumped when the door opened with a slam.

"We have a problem" James said catching his breath.

"Jeez James, you gave us a fright" Lucy said.

"Why are you catching your breath?" Albus asked.

"Did you run all the way from here?" Rose asked.

"We have a problem" James repeated walking towards his cousins. Lily jumped from her seat and let her brother sit down.

"What's the matter James?" Molly II asked.
