Time Travel

Chapter 1

 The war is over. Voldemort is dead finally. She killed him. The girl-who-lived-twice, chosen one standing in the middle of the great hall, everyone are congratulating her but she couldn't concentrate on them, NO the only person she can concentrate now is Draco Malfoy. He is looking so pale and crying just like in his sixth year in the moaning myrtle's bathroom. He sat beside his mother, who is looking as bad as him.
Lucius Malfoy is dead, he gave his life protecting her from his sister-in-law. Narcissa killed Bellatrix in fury that she killed her husband. The aurors are now arresting the remaining death eaters, She can't let them get arrested. She owes them her life, the least she can do is save them from getting arrested. Before she can reach them someone turned her around and hugged her tightly, soon another two arms are joining them. She struggled to get out of their grip but it was so hard.
"Oh Harry it's over, finally. You-know-who is dead." Hermione's voice reached her ears.
"Yeah Harry, we did it." Ron piped in.
Her name is Harriet, but her friends always called her harry saying it is nice and normal. She never understood their meaning of normal. She doesn't like being called Harry, hell she doesn't even like Harriet. Sirius said that her father wanted to name her Dorea after her grandmother or atleast middle name but her mum didn't give him the chance and named her Harriet after her own father Harold and Lily after her. Harriet Lily Potter. She sometimes used to think what her father would have named her if given chance.
She shook her head to clear her thoughts and was about to go to Malfoys but they were not there, they are gone. Where did they go? She should go and talk to Kingsley as he is the current Minister of Magic.
"Harry, Are you even listening?" Hermione shouted in her ear making her flinch which the girl didn't notice.
"What is it Hermione?" She asked controlling her irritation.
"You must be tired. Come on let's go to Burrow." Ron held her arm but she shook it off.
"I have some work. You go ahead." She replied while searching for Kingsley.
"What work? The War is over. You-know-Who is dead." Ron whined like a child.
"I have to talk to Kingsley-" She was cut off by Ron.
"You want to talk to him about becoming an Auror. I think he will let us be Aurors without any training as we are the War heroes." He puffed out his chest.
"I agree with Ronald. Even though NEWTs are important, we did so much for the Wizarding World. I think you two can become Aurors as soon as possible." Hermione said to both of them.
"I want to become an Auror but I'm not going to ask Kingsley to make me an Auror just because we fought in the War and I killed Voldemort" The both flinched at the name still, it's just a name for merlin's sake "I'm going to complete my studies and take Aruro training before becoming an Auror just like my dad and Sirius."
"But Harry we deserve everything, no need to work hard." Ron pouted at her.
"No Ron. Now excuse me I have important work and I'm not coming to Burrow, I will be going with Remus to our house." Harriet snapped at them and left before they can even speak to her.
"Remus!" She shouted as soon as she saw him. She ran over to him and hugged him tightly. He chuckled and hugged her back.
"I'm an old man Bambi, if you hug me more tightly I think my bones might break." He joked.
She huffed and released the hug and smacked him on his chest. "Shut up Remus, you are not old." She hugged him again.
"I'm glad nothing happened to you. I can't imagine if you too left me like Sirius and my parents." She whispered into his chest, if not for his wolf senses he wouldn't even listened her.
"Shah, Bambi. I'm here." He soothed her. They stayed like that for sometime when Harriet remembered about the Malfoys and explained it to him.
"I agree with you. Come on let's go and talk to Kingsley." Remus said walking with her to where he saw Kingsley last.
When they explained it to Kingsley, he was a bit reluctant to let the Malfoys go but after what he saw Lucius do for Harriet, he just sighed and called an Auror to give him the orders of letting the Malfoys go.
"Thank you so much Kingsley." She looked at him grateful.
"So Harriet what are you going to do now? Planning on joining the Auror department?" Kingsley asked her. Remus also looked at her wanting to know about what she thought about her future.
"I'm going to finish my NEWTs first and then join the Auror academy. I don't want any special treatment just because I killed Voldemort. Ron and Hermione were talking about how we should be given special treatment because we fought in the war, but I don't think like that. I don't want any special treatment or want anyone to get special treatment. Dad and Sirius were Aurors and Sirius said they had to do training before becoming Auror and I want to experience what they did." Harriet said to both of them.
"You are right Bambi and I'm so proud of you. I think James and Sirius would also be so proud of you." He kissed the top of her head and threw his arm around her shoulder.
"Very good decision Harriet. I will go along and talk to others. Good day " Kingsley left to talk to Minerva who is going to be headmistress of the School.
"Remus let's go. I'm tired." Harriet snuggled into him.
"Ok let's go to Burrow. I will drop you there and then go-" She cut him off rather harshly.
"NO!" She yelled. "I'm coming with you. You are my family. I want to be with my family." She huffed looking at him pointedly.
"Harry dear we are family. You can come with us to Burrow." Mrs Weasley voice reached her ears. She sighed and turned to look at the Weasleys along with Hermione standing there and looking at her.
Mr Weasley was looking tired and exhausted but still smiling at her warmly. Bill and Fluer were holding hands, his face is scarred but still Fluer loved him no less. Charlie's left leg has a bandage and was holding onto Percy for support. Fred and George, you can say they are different as George is holey, are grinning at her. Ron, Hermione were looking at her smugly, she didn't understand what their smugness is about. Ginny was just looking at her bored. Mrs Weasley's expression was a bit bothering her, she is smiling warmly at her but that didn't reach her eyes and she has some going in her eyes that she didn't understand either.
"Sorry Mrs Weasley but Remus and I are going our home." Harriet said her smiling sidestepping from the hug Mrs Weasley was about to give her.
"You home?" Mrs Weasley frowned at her.
"Yes, as you see Sirius left Grimmauld place to us. As the war is over, I can stay where ever I want and I want to stay with Remus." She said smiling at Remus.
"But Harry you can't stay alone with him." Mrs Weasley said him as if referring to some criminal or bad person. Remus stiffened beside her as he understood she was referring to him being a werewolf.
"What do you mean by him?" Harriet asked her eyes narrowing at her.
"She means he is a werewolf, a dark creature. You are not safe with him." Hermione said before Mrs Weasley can speak. Remus flinched and removed his hand from her shoulder.
"Don't you dare talk about him like that!" She shouted at her.
"What Hermione said is correct. You are not safe to stay alone with him." Mrs Weasley said in a sweet voice.
"He is safer than any of you all will be. He is my father's best friend. He is like a brother to him. So he is like an uncle to me. If he is not safe to stay with then no one of you are safe to stay with. Just because he is a werewolf doesn't mean he is dark or dangerous. He just becomes werewolf once in a month on full moon and there wolfsbane potion to control the wolf inside him. Sirius even said that he used to babysit me when I was small. I trust him with my life." Harriet glared at them all.
"Enough Molly, she is right Remus will not harm Harriet in any way. If she wants to stay with him then she can stay with him. You have no right to say where she should stay." Mr Weasley also glared at his wife.
Harriet observed that except Ron, Hermione and Ginny everyone were angry on behalf of Remus. Her best friends know that Remus is a very good person. How can they think that he will her? Mrs Weasley knows that Remus will die before harming her, then why all this stupid discussion.
"Arthur, she is like a daughter to me. I have every right to say where she should stay. She is still a child and Harry you are not going to stay with him. You are coming with us to the Burrow and for you Remus Lupin don't corrupt the poor dear to come with you and stay with you in that dark house. It's not safe, you don't know what else are there in that house, I didn't get to properly clean the house because of that Black always not allowing me to touch anything." Mrs Weasley scowled at Remus.
"ENOUGH!!!!!" Harriet shouted at her. Everyone turned to her. "Mrs Weasley, I'm touched that you think me as one of your child but you are not my mother and I'm not your child."
"Harry you can't speak to my mum like that." Ron shouted at her.
"She can't speak about my dad and uncle like that." Harriet shouted back.
"Dad? I didn't say anything about James." Mrs Weasley frowned at her.
"I'm taking about Sirius." Harriet said making her frown more.
"He is not your dad. He is an irresponsible man who paid for his deeds by spending 12 years in Azkaban. Snape was right about one thing that he is a mutt." Ron snickered at the name.
No one saw Harriet moving towards him until they heard a slap. "Just because you are my best friend doesn't mean I won't say anything to you if you insult my dad." She hissed at him and turned to Mrs Weasley.
"He is my father. He adopted me when I was just one day old. I love him. I love him more than I love my parents. I used to like you too but you always used to insult him Infront of everyone, humiliate him in his own house. He never said anything because he used to think you are correct. Dementors did so much damage to him and you YOU Mrs Weasley made it worse. He thought he didn't deserve anything in the world because of YOU. That's the reason he came to DOM that day thinking if he fights then he can show everyone that he is not weak and can protect me and he died protecting me. He died." Tears were flowing down her cheeks. "Now you are saying I shouldn't spend time with my uncle too. But this time I'm not going to sit and listen like a good girl. Whether you like it or not I'm going with Remus." She said goodbye to everyone except the four and left without even looking back.
