After a War ((Old Copy))

Chapter 2 Book 4

Back In Those Days

Draco had a calm and silent run. He didn't know the exact location of Remus and Nymph's house, but he could smell Teddy from where they must have played hide and seek. His ears pricked up when he heard a twig snap, and then laughter.

Draco looked towards the left see a boy with bright blue hair running into his father's arms. A pink haired woman was behind Remus, and beamed brightly at the two males.

Draco smiled in his cat form and decided not to ruin the moment between the family. He laid down in the pile of wet leaves, which in human form, he'd despise, but as a cat it was oddly comfortable.

Pansy screamed of surprise, fear, and just a little bit of pain as her and Jack tumbled down a hill. She hit her head on something sharp on the way down. Jack was on top of her when they finally reached the bottom of the large hill, she shoved him off angrily and sat up, rushing her hand to her head as she did.

"If you would have listened to me we wouldn't have fell!" Pansy snapped. Jack groaned as he sat up as well, a grumpy yet angry expression written across his face.

"Well instead of falling down with me you could have just let go and let me fall alone." Jack grumbled, Pansy rolled her eyes and brushed her skirt off, it now had two small rips in it though. Her vest had a large rip in the back of it, she took it off to reveal her white blouse.

She realized her headband fell off somewhere on their way down the hill. She looked up and saw it hanging on a branch.

Now that she was all the way down here, the hill looked allot more step than it did from up there. It wasn't climbable. And now the hill simply looked like a ditch. There was another hill behind her, proving that there was no other way out than to follow the path and see where it went.

They weren't surround by hills, just north and south of them, but east and west went as far as she could see before it turned and went in another direction.

"We could either turn into falcon's and fly out, or we could walk along this ditch until we get out somewhere." Pansy relayed their options to Jack. She wanted to turn into a falcon and just leave him there to choose his own way out, but Hermione was too good of a influence on her.

"Cant turn into falcon's there was a black wisp of smoke coming from above us when we fell. And If I didn't know any better, I'd say that was a death eater, correct? We should stay low." Jack said quietly, he spoke of the death eater like he knew who it was and what they were doing, but Pansy put the thought aside for a moment.

"Great." Pansy grumbled.

After a moment, Jack was on his feet and they were walking along the ditch. Pansy looked up every few minutes to see if she could spot a black plume of smoke flying overhead.

"Hey wait." Jack said, grabbing her arm and turning her towards him, his wand in hand. "Your head's bleeding." He explained himself upon seeing her confused and angry face. He transfigured a few leaves into a napkins and summoned them to his hand.

He tapped the napkin to the place where she was bleeding gently. And for a moment, she swore his eyes had a shine in them for a moment. Then she snapped back into reality and shoved his off her again.

"Im fine." She insisted as she kept walking, she was sure to keep a few strides ahead of him from them on.

The ditch eventually because even harder to walk through when they came upon a creek, she had to balance on rocks as they walked across and through the creek. For some odd reason he was really good at balancing on the stones.

She almost slipped on one of the wet rocks until he grabbed her hand and pulled her back up right before she touched the water.

"It should be safe to fly now." Jack said calmly, though Pansy's breath was hitched and angry from once again being so close to him.

"Good. Now lets get to Hogwarts and never see each other again." Pansy snapped, for some reason, she was now able to easily glide over the rocks away from him. She climbed on a large rock and showed off a little bit by back flipping off the rock and turning into a falcon midair.

Jack smirking, thinking of a way to top what she had done, and he did.

He ran over the rocks, carefully making sure his feet landed on the rocks instead of the water, there was a small drop where a creek waterfall fell into the smaller creek below. He jumped off, and turned into a falcon. Pansy rolled her eyes and flew above the trees.

There was nothing in sight but more trees and the silhouette of a castle n the distance. Dear merlin she didn't know if she could fly all the way back in one trip.

Jack emerged from the trees in falcon form next to her. She suddenly felt the urge to go, so she did. She sped up, annoyed at how quickly he caught up. He must have sensed that, because she never saw him on the way back again.

That was until she got a little worried and looked behind her, realizing that he wasn't there. She dove down below the trees to see if he landed, he was nowhere in sight. She began to panic a little bit.

To be continued.

Hermione paced in the apartment, breathing heavily. So if Draco hadn't gone back in time, her and the others came to the conclusion that he had gone to an alternate universe, and back in time. Well, back in time on the other universe.

But whatever was happening over there was affecting those on this side. Pansy had feinted over an hour ago, mumbling random things, Hermione grew slightly worried when she spoke of Draco, then she started talking about some other guy in her sleep.

Then Teddy feinted and Hermione panicked more at that point. He said nothing in his sleep. Maya believe he was just taking a nap, but Hermione knew that wasn't it. Makayla had woken up and seemed fine and had a tour around the apartment with Fred and George.

Now Makayla was trying to help Hermione find a way back for Draco and whoever he had brought with him. Hermione had already forgotten his name by now, she was far to focused on Draco to care about the other one anyway.

The two girls were reading through every book possible to try and find out about alternate universes, but there was nothing.

Then there was a knock on the door, which made Hermione groan as Justin started to scream again at the sudden noise. He had gotten used to the quiet, and he was sick, so any sudden change terrified him.

Hermione answered the door, even though she probably looked terrible, she stood in pajamas and her hair was a perfect mess.  It was Lucius.

"Draco told me that he wanted Voldemort out of Malfoy Manor, he's gone. You are free to move there." Lucius said simply. He looked at Justin then back at Hermione. "You're probably stressed. Here." He said as he took Justin out of her arms and rocked him. Hermione welcomed him inside and bolted back to her books with Makayla the very second the door was shut.

"Thanks." Hermione said.

"No problem. What are you doing?" Lucius asked. Hermione was too busy to answer.

"She and Makayla are researching about other worlds, or alternate universes. Draco's gone missing. And it seems like that's where he went." Maya explained. Lucius got more serious now.

"I talked to him only yesterday! He seemed fine!" Lucius almost yelled, but stayed quiet at the thought of the toddler in his arms.

"He was, but he touched something at Grimmauld Place and vanished. Hermione found out that he wanted to go back in time. I have no Idea how, but she did. She looked at the candlestick and even touched it, nothing happened when she touched it. So it's power is already out apparently." Maya continued. Lucius frowned sadly.
