Rewind (Dramione)

Chapter 11

Hermione, Draco and Professor Dumbledore now stood in the Busy school hallways as students stumbled to get to their next set of classes, a mixture of footsteps, and whispers filling the halls.

Dumbledore stopped a passing middle-aged man who to Hermione looked to be of great importance, even though neither of the pair recognized him as a Professor. "Good morning Mr Sullivan," The tall Wizard greeted the Stranger. "I want you to meet our formal Consultants, From the Ministry of magic." He pointed to Draco and Hermione who did their best to seem mature, and believable.

Dumbledore wanted to create disguises so the two young Wizards could roam the halls freely while they searched for a way home.

"This is Josephine Croft," He ponited at Hermione who greeted the dark haired man with a polite smile. "And This is Warren Bass," He spoke towards Draco who stuck his hand out In a formal gesture which he had done regularly due to his high status.

Much to Dracos distaste, The Man refused his handshake.

"More babysitters?" Mr Sullivan asked rudely, focusing fully on Dumbledore who had personally selected him to be in charge of the grounds, and everything on it. From the Castle up keep, to the outside areas. He was not a Harsh man, But He never understood the constant need of the Ministries interfere with his job, as if he couldn't do property.

"Be nice now," Dumbledore rested a hand on his shoulder. "They are just doing as they are told. I'm sure they will report back soon?" He turned, and Draco instantly nodded his head up and down, forgetting his Fake, High raking position that he was supposedly portraying.

Hermione stepped on Dracos foot, digging her heel into his dress-shoes, all the while facing the dark haired man that she now knew to be Mr Sallvian with a smile. "If we are to find everything up to the Ministries liking, you will not even noticed us." She reassured.

"Very well," Mr Sullivan shrugged, knowing he could do little.

"Please fetch them the proper identification, and make sure they have unlimited access to school properties." Dumbledore ordered.

Mr Sullivan raised his eyebrows in disbelief. He stepped closer to Dumbledore, pulling him slightly to the side In a private gesture. "But Sir," He spoke nervously, obviously referring to the many secrets Hogwarts kept Classified, and often not known by outside forces. Sometimes that even Included the Ministry itself.

"Thank you for your concern, but I assure you these two can be trusted." The wise Wizard spoke, meaning each word.

"Very well," the grounds keeper shrugged, stepping back to look at the pair for the first time.

With a simple wave of his long, narrowed wand, Mr Sullivan created two square VIP all access Hogwarts pass badges, with Hermione's, and Draco's false names engraved into them. They both clipped them onto their uniformed shirts as Mr Sallvian walked away without not so much as another word.

"Those will provide the Two of you to roam freely without question, or passwords from any of the magical barriers on school grounds." Dumbledore said fackly as he raised his white eyebrows down at them. "But Please do try not to get into much to much trouble using them." He spoke again with a half smile. Even though he didn't know the future versions of his students to well, he had a sinking feeling that in the future, both of them got into their fair share of Misfortune.

"Thank you Professor," Hermione spoke. She were truly grateful to have him on their side in such a confusing situation.

"Thank you Headmaster." Draco spoke as Dumbledores back had already turned to him to go about his day. It took all of the blondes courage to mumble those two simple words that felt foreign on his tongue.
