Going Back

Disclaimer: I own nothing, JK Rowling owns all.... you know the routine. I am making no money from this. Just the pleasure of borrowing the characters for a whlie.

Chapter two: Arriving Home Again?

I felt my body being twisted, and pulled in every direction, moving so quickly, my head spinning and I could barely feel JD who was still holding onto my arms. It felt like it was going on forever and yet it was only seconds before we were standing again.
I was scared to look up, I didn't want to know if it had worked. If it hadn't JD and I would be stuck whereever we had managed to get to and our future would be doomed along with our families. If it had worked then all I had grown up with would cease to exist in a few short months if all went according to plan.
"Hey 'Kenz have you ever wanted to know what your parents were like before you were born?" JD questioned quietly.
"I always wanted to know what it was like for them and all their friends when my mom was in school. I've heard the storied about my dad back then."
"Well I think you may get the chance to experience it for yourself. Look!'
I looked up quickly and saw we were standing in front of the main doors to Hogwarts which was standing tall and looking more beautiful and powerful to me than ever. Owls were flying all around and in and out a few windows where I knew the schools owls were housed. That's when I saw it, a great snowy owl, I immediately knew who it was and who she belonged to.
"Look! Uncle Harry's here! That's Hedqig, his owl! We did it JD! We actually did it!" I nearly screamed I was so excited as I pointed to Hedwig.
"'Kenz quiet! We can't give away who we are when we've only just got here. You've got to watch yourself when you're talking to any of our family or friends. Neither of us can be calling them mom, dad, aunt, uncle or whatever. They're just kids right now the same age as us," JD scolded.
"I know," I sighed. "Let's go in and get this started."
We walked up to the huge double doors, watching as they opened as we approached.
"They must still recognize us as students somehow," I commented as we headed for the Great Hall.
Walking in I looked around as if seeing the wonderful sight for the first time all over again.
"It's about lunch time where are all the sutdents," I commented shakily over whelmed at being home again.
"That my dear can be answered simply... The students do not arrive until tomorrow."
I nearly screamed, and both JD and I spun quickly to find the owner of the voice, only to find a younger looking Albus Dumbledore than the one we had known.
"Now dear children if you both will follow me I believe we have a lot to discuss," Dumbledore said that familial all-knowing twinkle in his eyes, before he led us out of the Great Hall and towards his office.
It wasn't long before we were standing infront of the stone gargoyle, Dumbledore quietly saying his password and leading us up the spiral staircase and into his office.
"Please have a seat," he said gesturing to the chairs infront of his large desk as he sat behind it. "Lemon drop?" he offered to which we both declined.
"I should first introduce myself. I am Professor Albus Dumbledore and I am headmaster of this fine school. And you two are?"
JD and I had thought long and hard about how much to share with Dumbledore above all other, and in end just decided to be upfront with im about who we were as he was likely to find out sooner or later anyways.
"My name is Jamie Draconis Malfoy, most call me JD for short."
"And I am Mackenzie Lillian Snape, 'Kenz for short. We are from your future."
"Malfoy and Snape eh? I assume I can make a good guess as to whom your fathers are," Dumbledore replied not seeming phased in the slightest only amused. "And your mothers?"
I was first to speak up this time, "My mother is Hermione Granger, and JD's mother is Ginny Weasley."
"Is that so? Well this is an interesting start to a new school year."
I could tell Dumbledore was happy with the news of who our parents were. It probably just confirmed something for him that really he already knew.
"Now what may I ask has brought you two back?"
"Before we answer that sir we need to confirm exactly where we made it back to. What year are our parents in?" asked JD looking more serious than I had ever seen him in my 16 years of life.
"Why Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Granger will be in their sixth year and Ms. Weasley will be in her fifth."
"Thank you sir. Now to answer your question quite simply sir we are here to change our past." JD stated matter-of-factly.
It was with that said we launched into a full discussion of what happened in the future and why we had come back. It was about three hours later that we got down to planning where we would go from there, but most importantly what we would tell everyone else.
"Well for obvious reasons we cannot reveal who your parents are so we need to come up with some new last names for you," Dumbledore stated looking to us for ideas.
"Actually sire," I started, "We already have that figured out. I am going to go by Mackenzie Gravan."
"And I will go by JD Wallen. We decided it may be best if no one knows what JD stands for so if they ask I will just say that is stands for nothing my parenst just like short names." JD said quietly. I could tell he was hurt about this, he had always been so proud of his name and who his namesakes were.
"We are exchange students from Canada. That is where we spent a few months in hiding so we know enough about their customs to pull it off. However we were born and raised here for 5 or 6 years which wil explain the accent. Our parents were best friends and both of our fathers worked for the same company and were transfered to Canada when we were 5 and 6." I stopped a moment to think, a low rumble sounding from my stomach. "Sire we have been talking for hours and JD and I have yet to eat today and it must be almost supper time here. Would it be possible to get something to eat?" I asked shyly.
"Why don't I show the two of you to your rooms for tonight and have the house elves bring you up something to eat. Afterwards you can have the run of the castle, although I should warn you a few students have arrived already due to danger to their lives. Those students include both of your mothers. Remember to watch yourselves around them," Dumbledore said before standing and motioning for us to follow him.
We talked more about us attending the school along the way to our rooms. I would be in sixth year with my mother and her friends and JD would be a year ahead as he was a year older. We would also be sorted again with the first years to keep up pretenses.
It was a short trip before we arrived at our rooms which I knew to be the spare rooms across from the head girl and head boys rooms.
Dumbledore said his goodbye for the night and promised to have the house elves send food up shortly.
It wasn't long before the food har arrived and JD and I both ate in silence after deciding to roam the castle afterwards.

Authors Notes: Okay I know this chapter took a few days to get up but it's also longer than the last two chapters combined. I hope everyone enjoys this. Between work and the holidays coming up I don't know when I'll have a chance to write and update again but I promise to as soon as possible. I will try and get at least one more chapter up in the next week, two if I can since I'll be away from the computer for the week after.
Happy Holidays to everyone no matter what you celebrate!

Please review if you like my story or even if you don't I'd still like to hear from you. Your reviews keep me going and inspired.
