James Potter and the Prisoners of Time

Chapter 16

Harry was speechless, it appears everyone else had the same reaction. They all seemed to be in shock trying to process everything they just saw. There were too many things for his 6 functioning braincells to understand.

"I-" Hermione began. "I don't know what to say..."

"Malfoy helped in the war..." Harry said.

"Helped? He did a lot more than help Harry," Ginny said, "He saved you, saved Mione, I think we owe him a thanks."

"I think I owe Scarlet an apology."

James was freezing his arse off. His dumbarse ran out of the house without a coat and now he was shivering in the cold winter air. He was also trying to calm a frantic Scarlet down, that wasn't going so well.

"Oh Merlin! Oh Merlin they hate me! They want me gone! I should leave! No, I have to leave! There's no way I can stay here now! I disrespected them in their own home! Their own home! Who does that? Me apparently!" Scarlet was pacing back and forth on the snow, although James should be focusing on calming her down all he could think was why the fuck isn't she freezing? She was in nothing but a light hoodie and jeans, she should be freezing not him.

"Scarlet calm down!" He yelled. "They don't hate you, all you have to do is apologize and everything will go back to normal. I honestly expected something like this to happen."

"You knew this was going to happen and you still let me come over!" She exclaimed.

"Are you really just gonna ignore the whole apologizing thing?" He asked earning a murderous glare.

"C'mon let's go back before I freeze solid." He urged.

"Fine." She pouted.

Ron felt terrible. He just insulted someone's entire family which resulted in both his kids being disappointed and his nephews and niece being upset with him. Not to mention the fact that it appears they were wrong about the entire Malfoy family.

Everyone was trying and seemingly failing to process the images they just saw, the Malfoys, one of the most powerful pureblood families, one of the oldest, the richest, Voldemort's right hand family, was secretly helping to take him down? And Malfoy, the pretentious git they went to school with, who called Hermione that foul name was secretly working for the Order of the Phoenix. And professor Lupin knew about it. Also apparently Malfoy's a good dad or whatever.

The only thing Ron was sure of, is that he had to apologise to both Scarlet and Scorpius.

"I'll go find Scarlet and James." Hermione said finally breaking the silence.

"Good idea, I'll apologize to her as soon as she walks in. " He said. All in all, he wanted to apologise for not only disrespecting her, but for insulting the family she knew best.

"I think we should leave the boys alone for a little longer." Ginny said. Hermione nodded and grabbed a coat. Before she could reach the door, someone knocked furiously.

"Neither Scarlet nor James would knock..." Ginny trailed off. Ron made eye contact with Harry and they both reached for their wands. Ginny held hers behind her back and Ron saw his wife grip hers through the coat. She looked at them for silent conformation that everyone was all set only opening the door when everyone nodded. He did not expect who walked in, at all.

"What have you done?" A very angry blond haired male stormed in. "I'm sorry, I know this is unexpected but whatever you did or said upset my kids and now I'm pissed so here we are." He huffed.
