"Draco's lips hovered over Hermione's. She could feel his ragged, hot breaths on her face as the world itself spun around them. Swirling flashes of time sparking off all as he focused on nothing but her. She felt his hands cup her face as she stared...
"Is Malfoy in some sort of trouble?" Harry asked, looking down at the empty seat where the slim ministry investigator previously sat before he had oddly janked Draco out of the hall. Harry's inquiry was not one of concern but rather curiosity.
"No," The small Hermione interrupted her larger counterpart before she could speak. "The ministry has no jurisdiction over students" She Finished as she turned to 'Josephine' in question.
"We, ah no we do not." Hermione tried her best to remember her studies regarding the ministry, and how it's facilities operated. "We evaluate the school structures as well as Professors and teachers."
"But not students?" Ron questioned as if he were a lone turtle In a race meant for rabbits. The small Hermione shot him the "where in merlin have you been?" look that she alone were famous for.
"Students are only a problem when teachers are inadequate in keeping proper order." The older Hermione smiled, quoting one of her favorite teachers, Professor McGonagall.
"A no would have been fine." Ron answered, not particularly enjoying his present company as he returned his attention to the freshly served food, diving right in.
"Then where did Mr Bass take Malfoy?" Harry questioned the older Hermione.
Hermione gulped at his question. Haven only knew where that dimwit was taking the other dimwit. She gazed over at the door in a nervous gesture, hoping to see the two of them pop their foolsh blonde heads back in the hall, before her idiot (older Draco) messed up their timeline.
"Mr bass has his own ways of investigation," She spoke to the golden trio, remembering all the times he had followed Her Harry and Ron when they were on secret missions in hopes that it would get them in trouble. "but sometimes he can just be..
Stupid Useless Selfish Idiotic Cowardly
"Strange," She finally decided on a word that was best suited for the children's ears.

"You are... You're a death eater!!" The little boy realized as he backed away, but the hallway behind him stopped him from escaping any further. He was trapped.
"Why are you scared boy?" Draco asked purposely stepping intimidatingly closer, holding his dark mark closer to the small Malfoy. "Isn't this what you want? To be chosen?"
To the child, Voldemort had always been just a story. A scary fantasy that many slytherin's held, but was oceans away. It was all talk for him. He never actually pictured himself in this situation, or that Voldemort would even come back. It was just another of the many tools he used to torment his fellow classmates. The man that stood in in front of him however bore the mark, and was touched by the dark one himself, proving that he was more then just some old, scary tale and that his return was indeed fastly approaching.
"What do you want!" The boy asked through a shaken voice. "The Ministry would never hire a death eater. You are a imposter!!" He concluded.
Bollocks! What in merlin are you doing? Draco mentally cursed. He were so infuriated with himself (quite literally) that he hadn't remembered just how smart he had been, especially at such a young age.
"Get away from me!" The boy yelled, sliding under Draco's extend arm in a desperate attempt to escape.
Once free the young Draco pulled out his wand from under his sleeved uniformed cloak, then pointed it Dangerously at his future self. His small hand trembling to the point where his wand could slip from his fingers at any moment.
The older Draco immediately recognize that look, for it was the same look he had worn many times when he was faced with deeds he did not wish to go through with. After all, the little boy was him.
Much to Draco's expectance, the boy dashed away, and down the hall.

One two four eight ten
The minutes ticked away as Hermione kept checking her wrist watch. Much to her disapproval neither set of Malfoy's had walked back into the main hall. Harry, and the little Hermione had finished eating, placing their used silverware neatly and properly out in front of them. Ron however was a mess. His lips and cheeks covered in leftover chicken Grease. "I suppose I should go now." Hermione spoke to the children as she stood, excusing herself from the table.
"It was a pleasure meeting you." Harry spoke as he extend his hand out to her once more. If she hadn't been so anxious to find the Malfoys she might have actually laughed out at the irony of his words since Harry was already her oldest, and dearest friend.
"Likewise," She shook his tiny hand.
The small Hermione smiled, then said her goodbyes. The large Hermione turned to Ron expectantly but he ignored her, finding the crepe he were currently shoving into his mouth a lot more interesting.
"Ron!" The small Hermione cursed his name. "I do apologize." She spoke up to her future self. "We will try to return him to the zoo that he escaped from. ◇
Hermione exited the hall. Her low black heels clicking gently against the stone floor as she walked.
There he stood, looking out of a window, and down to the Fields below as if nothing had happened. She felt herself become angry with Draco was more. "What in merlin!" She cursed as she jerked his shoulder back so that he would face her. "What did you do? Where did you go!?" She asked.
He shrugged off her angered state. Usually he enjoy'd her annoyance with him, but at the moment he could Care less. "Nothing, it's fine." He defended.
She looked him over, not believing the scheming blonde for a second. "Are you sure?" She pressed. "Our future is not a joke Malfoy! You can't just go running off with your past self! Who knows what you have already changed." She yelled now Furious.
Before she could put in another word, or continue yelling at him like she had planned the ground beneath them began to shake. She was viciously flung towards him as The room spun and shook out of control. Soon they found themselves falling through the cracks of time once again.
