The Time Turner

10

The dinner table was filled with food and the room was flooding with chatter.

The 'original' Weasley twins were getting to know Fred the second and Roxanne. Hermione sat with Hugo on her lap—the boy barely wanted to leave her side since he arrived. Young Ron and Harry were talking with James—they seemed to be hitting it off. Bill was asking Victoire things like how was her life and what her mother was like. And Teddy was being interrogated by Sirius who claimed he was so much like Remus.

"Oh Ron! You've grown into such a handsome man. You're a dad too! I hope you treat Hermione well." Said Mrs. Weasley while sitting in front of her son.

"Of course! She'll kill me otherwise." Said future Ron with his mouthful, a habit he never lost, making those around grimace at the sight.

The 'original' twins' attention then went to the future version of their little brother. "How exactly did you get our dear Hermione's affection anyways?" Said Fred. "Yeah, how did you? You're not exactly a romantic". Added George.

"Oí!"

"Boys, leave your brother alone".
"Fine".

"So what do you do for a living?" Said Fred looking at Draco. "I'm a healer".
George squinted his eyes towards Draco as if looking for something, "Mhm.. yeah, I can see it."

"What about you Ronnikins?"
"Dad's soon going to be head Auror!" Said Rose very proudly. "That's wonderful! Oh my brave boy!" Exclaimed Mrs. Weasley making Draco snort.

"I'm head Auror?!" Said young Ron

"Not yet, I'm waiting for the promotion. And oí! What are you laughing about, Ferret?!"

"I'm laughing at Molly believing you're brave! Sorry to disappoint you Molly but your son's a coward" said a laughing Draco.

"Oh and how?!"

"It took you almost eight years to have the guts to ask 'mione to marry you! I would have dumped you sooner."

"It wasn't that long! And you can't talk! You've never proposed!" Shot back Ron.

"True, Harry did. Still before you did tho. Also you're right. It took you seven years of friendship and eight years of dating to ask for marriage." Said a now smirking Draco.

"That's very true Ron. We had to hint at you that it was time too." Said Teddy.

"Oh Ronald" said a slightly disappointed Mrs. Weasley looking at her son.

Hermione was looking at the older version of one of her best friends and wondered how she could have married such a man.

"Hermione, I really wonder what you'll see in him" said Ginny while shaking her head. "I'm not sure, if I had ended up with anyone here I would have thought of Fred". Said Hermione making Fred go 'aww' and hug her from the side making everyone laugh. Both Ron's just frown. Harry, however, was still shocked to hear he proposed to Draco Malfoy.

"Rose tell everyone who your mom is now" said Frank knowing how proud she was of her mom.

"Oh! Mom's the—Scorpius, drums please—she's the Minister of Magic!" Rose made jazz hands while excitedly looking at the younger version of her mother.

"You're serious?!" Said Hermione now standing with both hands on the table leaning closer to Rose with a Hugo hanging from her neck. "Very serious" said future Ron with a smile.

"Congrats!"
"I'm not surprised, have you seen your grades"
"Congratulations, 'mione"
"You are the brightest witch of the century after all"
"Always knew you had it in you"

With the new attention on Hermione, she just smiled but her face was going a bright pink.

Harry too got curious on what his future was like. "And what do I do?"

Victoire then smiled at Harry, "Well you tell us, Professor".

"I'm a professor? I would have guess I'd be an Auror" Harry was indeed surprised, he hadn't given much thought to the future due to Voldemort but he wouldn't have guessed he'd be a professor.

"You were an Auror for a few years, then you had an accident. Soon you accepted Professor McGonagall's job offer at Hogwarts." Said Teddy.

"Yeah, you're the DADA professor. And I gotta say, it's awkward." Said James. After all, his father was also his professor.

"DADA professor? Like me!" Said Remus smiling proudly and a bit touched towards Harry's way.

"Wait, an accident? What kind of accident?"

"Um... let's not talk about that" said James kind of uncomfortable. Everyone noticed and decided to drop it. Silent soon took over.

"Well what about us?" Said George breaking the silence. "Yeah, what about us? I don't exactly see us working for the ministry", said Fred while supporting his head on one hand and soon his position being followed by his twin.

"You guys run a joke shop" Ron said with a bright smile. "The shop's awesome!" Said Scorpius and Albus. "Yeah! It has the best stuff for pranks!" Said Roxanne with Freddy and Lily nodding rapidly as if agreeing with her.

"Really?! We-"
"-Actually did it?!"

"Yes!" Said a smiling Frank remembering the look of the shop and it's cheerful owners.

"What's the name?" Asked George.
"Weasleys Wizard Wheezes" said future Ron.
"Has a nice ring to it"

Harry smiled brightly towards the twins and then his eyes fell on Frank. "Hey, Frank right? You said you were Neville's son?"

"Yes, Professor" said the boy making Harry a bit uncomfortable, after all the boy was just three years younger. "Um, well what does he do now?"

"He also works at the school! He's the Herbology Professor". Frank smiled politely. Young Ron just laughed, "not surprised". "Oh I'm happy for Neville!" Said Hermione.

"What do I do?" Said Ginny now a bit impatient, also wanting to know her future.

The kids just stayed silent for a bit looking at her as if trying to figure something out. Well, all except Teddy and Victoire. 2019 Ron and Draco decided to stay quiet for this.

"Um... who exactly are you?" Said James still squinting his eyes a bit.

"Ginny. Aren't I like your aunt or something?" She said a bit confused.

It's 4:40am and I have yet to fall asleep.
Murder me.
