Albus Severus Part 3

"All right guys, today we are going to save Professor Longbottom's parents," Albus announced to us at our weekly gathering.

"Zach, how we looking?" I ask, turning to Zachariah. He closes his eyes, and his face scrunches up his face in concentration.

"If we save both his parents, his father saves Remus Lupin's life, and Professor Longbottom would be our Defense Against the dark arts teacher, not Herbology. And he wouldn't marry Paige's mom Hannah, her marry Luna Lovegood, and she'd be our Herbology teacher," Zach said, looking over at Paige.

Paige seems to think about this. "How different am I in the future?" She asks, casting a glance at Zach.

"This is ridiculous! You can't actually expect her to change her whole life to make some people happier!" A Slytherin boy, a year above us by the name of Stephen pipes up.

We all look at Zach, who is concentrating deeply. "Well, for starters, you'd grow up being more open minded about a lot of things. You'd have three younger siblings named Alice, Frank and Gwen. You'd live on Hogwarts grounds most of your life, and spend your summers and everything here. You'd excel at Herbology and Defense. And you'd be sorted into Gryffindor, become a Prefect and eventually Head girl, become an Aurour for a few years and after they ask you to do a morally compromising mission, you become a traveling poet, and get married to Levi Scamander and have four kids. You spend your whole life traveling, and at ninety-five you and Levi retire in a cabin in the woods of Romania, and die at the age of one hundred and twenty two," Zachariah blurts out.

"Why did you go through her whole damn future? She just needs the basics," Stephen growls. Albus grabs Stephen by the arm and drags him to a corner. I can tell Albus is annoyed by Stephen being a pain in the ass. I can't exactly tell what he's saying to him, but he motions Zachariah over to them. I turn to Paige, who smiles. "The alternate time line looks nice. I'm in," she said with a grin. Rose and I hug her.

"You're very brave," I whisper to her, and she smiles.

Albus and Zachariah come back, and Stephen leaves the room. "What happened?" I whispered to Al.

"Stephen got hot headed because he has a crush on Paige, and it hurt to find out that she's going to marry someone else. He had a fifty fifty chance in this timeline, along with Zach, who was the other fifty," Albus summed up. "And Zach's not upset?" I ask. Albus smiles, and shakes his head. "He said that Paige is pretty, but he respects her wishes more than his own feelings, so he doesn't mind what she does," Albus summed up.

"All right then, who volunteers to go save the Longbottoms from Volde?" I ask, holding up the time turner. Albus walks over, and so does Rose. Scorpius looks wary.

"It's okay, you don't have to," Albus says to Scorpius, knowing his family's heritage with Voldemort.

"I'll go," Paige volunteers, and I smile. Tossing the time turner chain over our heads, we journey back in time.

We appear in the dead of winter. I glance at a newspaper on a stand. December 29th, 1981.

"Three days before Alice and Frank Longbottom are said to have gone insane," I say, and the others turn to look at me. I tuck the time turner under my shirt.

"We have ten minutes before the day becomes the thirtieth. So where did they keep them?" Albus asked, glancing at the clock at Gringotts.

"They're supposed to be at the Riddle Manner, the main hide out of the death eaters," Paige said, knowing her family history.

We run down Knockturn Alley, and out into the countryside. Reaching the tree line, we stop to regroup.

"Okay, the Gaunt house is about a kilometer north from here, and the Riddle Manner should be a few kilometers east," Albus says, having memorized a map before hand.
