Albus Don't you Dare!

Worried

Present (2021)

The Potters, Weasleys and Malfoys were sitting in the living room. All of them were looking pale and shaken, they never mumbled a single word for minutes.

"H-how? We already destroyed the Time Turner!" said Ginny, breaking the silence.

"That's exactly the question, they already promised they can't get their hands near one and all the time turners had been moved to a safer place in the Ministry." said Ron.

Hermione caught sight of the broken bits of glass, and the sand scattered on the floor, and took a closer look.

"No, it can't be." she mumbled, her eyes widened.

"What is it Hermione?" asked Harry.

Hermione brought it to everyone, much to their surprise and shock.
"It's a time turner," Astoria said hoarsely. "But how? And they promised that they'll never use one again."

Harry scratched his messy black hair and gave out a loud gasp.

"Harry, what is it?" Ginny asked him, putting her arms around him.  "Is there something wrong? Harry? Tell me!"

Harry finally let words escape from his mouth.

"Of course! Albus and Scorpius were with us the day the time turner was destroyed. And then, I saw Albus in Hermione's office, he was standing next to a drawer," Harry recalled. "I asked him if he took something but he said no."

"Mione, do you think there were any time turners in your office?" Ron asked; Hermione nodded.

"He must've taken one!" Ginny cried, clapping her hands against her mouth. "But why? Why, our Albus?"
Harry put a restricting arm on Ginny's shoulder.

"Potter! You saw your kid near your drawer near Granger's drawer and didn't even tell him off!" sneered Draco, and turned to Hermione. "And you Granger! You didn't even bother to put protective charms or whatsoever on it!"

"It wasn't their fault Draco! And they didn't know that Albus was taking something from Hermione's drawer," Ginny barked. "And don't you dare make cold comments about my husband."

"And don't you talk about my wife that way!" Ron yelled.

Hermione slightly chuckled.

Astoria put Draco aside like a small child and said to him, "Darling, let me take it from here. And please, be nice."

She spoke to Hermione

"Will they able to come back, even if the time turner is broken?" she asked.

"Yes." Hermione replied, with the Malfoys sighing in relief.

"How long?" asked Draco.

"Weeks. Hopefully."

She and Draco exchanged looks, they looked more worried as ever.

"I just hope they won't be stuck there forever" croaked Draco.

"That's why we need to work together. We don't want any more Delphis showing up." said Harry seriously.

The Malfoys nodded in agreement.

"We'll start tomorrow," said Hermione. "I'll talk to some of the Ministry officials about it."

After talking for a few hours, Draco and Astoria disapparated, followed by Hermione and Ron. Harry scooped up the sand, and broken bits of glass, placing them on a glass jar, instead of throwing at away.

Harry entered their room; Ginny was crying hysterically on the floor. He rushed to her immadietely, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Oh, Harry, what if something bad will happen to them? I can't forgive myself if something happened!" she sobbed, tucking her head into Harry's chest.

"Hey, Gin, it's alright! I promise we'll bring them home safe and sound." Harry said, comforting her, kissing her passionately.

"I promise, they'll get home safe."
