Chapter 23 - Back to the Past
"Arthur, this is a bad idea." Frank sighed.
"How is it?" Arthur turned.
"I get that he said some bad things but you can't hex him in front of everyone." Frank told him.
"Why not?" Arthur sighed.
"You'll be punished." Frank crossed his arms.
"Not if they don't find out." Arthur hummed.
"They will." Frank shook his head.
Arthur sighed and looked at his wand.
"See? Now let's put the wand away." Frank stepped closer to his friend.
Arthur pulled his wand to his side and put it away.
"Thank you for listening to reason." Frank sighed.
"For now." Arthur pointed.
"Arthur." Frank warned him.
"Frank." Arthur copied his friend.
Frank sighed,"Come on, let's go."
Arthur rubbed his neck before he followed him.
"Good, McGonagall will kill us if we're late." Frank told him.

"He backed away." Bellatrix hummed.
"Course he would." Rodolphus rolled his eyes.
"That's good. You can trick him later." Bellatrix suggested.
"You know it. Right, bro?" Rodolphus turned to Rabastan.
"Yeah." Rabastan rolled his eyes and went back to walking.
"What do you think Lucius will say?" Rodolphus asked.
"He's wanted to hurt the boy since he met him. Andromeda likes to hang around with them though." Bellatrix sighed in annoyance.
"You know what she's like." Rodolphus scoffed.
"I live with the woman. I hate her." She crossed her arms.
"Rightly so." Rabastan nodded as a thud came from along the corridor.
"Bloody hell, Harry!" Parker cursed as she landed.
"See you! I'm gonna beat your ass!" Erica pointed at Harry, lifting herself up.
"I was just feeling it." Harry groaned and got up.
"Yeah, well now we're- uh..." Erica looked around.
"Hogwarts?" Ron's eyes widened.
"Oh my- Merlin! We're all young again." Hermione gasped.
"We're fucked." Erica sighed.
"You used the blooming time-turner to send us back in time?!" Parker groaned.
"I'm sorry, guys." Harry told them, noticing the young future Death Eaters.
"Who are they?" Ron blinked.
"It's, well..." Hermione whispered,"Parker's family."
"Hey, she looks like me-" Parker looked at the woman, almost identical to herself, "..Oh my god."
"See?" Hermione sighed.
"We went so far back in time!" Parker slapped Harry's arm.
"Unfortunately." Ron put his head in his hands.
"Oh, this is bad." Parker cursed.
"And they're staring at us." Erica pointed out.
They all turned and faced the other teenagers.
"..Hi. Sorry." Hermione smiled.
"Who the hell are you?" Rodolphus questioned.
"..Students, duh." Ron gestured to their uniform.
"You aren't normally here, we'd know." Rodolphus stated.
"We're new, lost." He nodded.
"Well Bella, what do you think we should do?" Rodolphus turned to her.
"I think.. We should punish them for lying to us." Bellatrix hummed.
"I agree." Rabastan nodded.
"..Wait!" Parker quickly stepped forward.
"Can we panic now?" Ron asked quietly.
"You two are the Black and Lestranges, right?" Parker asked.
"Correct, you are?" Rodolphus asked back.
"..I'm Morton." Parker nodded slowly, "Parker Morton."
"So, I am a big fan of you, all of you. So, as my.. appreciation, I could go and punish these four for you?" Parker suggested.
"What do you think?" Rodolphus nudged his brother.
"I suppose so." He nodded.
"Well then, I'll leave you to it." Rodolphus started walking away.
"Hey." Bellatrix pointed at Parker.
"Uh oh." Erica muttered.
"You look like me." Bellatrix tilted her head.
"..It's just the hair. Right, I'm away." Parker turned and pushed the Herd.
"Ow." Harry rubbed his arm.
"That's what you get for sending us back in time." Parker whispered.
"For the last time, it was an accident." He muttered.
"Accident or not, we need to get back." Erica told him.
"Yeah, and how do we do that?" Hermione sighed.
"Anyone got any bright ideas?" Erica leaned against a wall.
Harry tilted his head, "My parents."
"Harry, you can't. It would mess with our future." Erica warned him, crossing her arms.
"Parker just talked to her parents, who else are we to talk to?" Harry pointed.
"That wasn't-" Erica sighed and started to leave,"Fine, do what you want. I'm going on a walk."
"Erica." Ron sighed.
"I won't do anything stupid." She assured him.
"We'll be in the Great Hall." Hermione nodded.
"Sounds good to me." Erica called, turning the corner.
"Be careful!" Parker pointed.
"I'm always careful." Erica muttered.
"Not always." Parker hummed back as they walked off.
Erica shook her head as she continued down the corridors, trying to match up young faces to their older selves. That's when she heard some laughs from down the hall. She wondered what was going on and sped up to see what was happening.
"Come on Snivillus!" She heard some boys shout.
She figured out was was going on after hearing those words and she turned the corner to face the group of boys.
"Oh, hey there." A boy who looked like Harry spoke.
"Mind explaining what you're doing?" Erica crossed her arms, noticing a boy on the floor.
"We're just having some harmful fun." A boy with glasses shook his head.
"Oh, is that so?" Erica asked.
"Yeah, it is." Another boy with curlier hair spoke.
"Well, I'm stopping it here." Erica told them.
"Look, how about you just go away and let us deal with this?" A shorter boy spoke, turning to Erica.
"Hm, I don't think I will." Erica stepped in front of the boy on the floor.
"Look, you don't have to do this." The boy on the ground slowly stood up.
"Well, I am doing this so you're going to have to deal with it." Erica crossed her arms.
"Make me." Erica scoffed.
The boys looked at each other before they slowly backed up, giving a glare to the boy on the ground before they disappeared.
"There, I think you'll be fine for now." Erica turned to the boy.
"Thank you." The boy slowly nodded, "You didn't need to do that."
"But I did." Erica shrugged.
"Well..Thank you, Miss.." He looked at her, he was wanting her last name.
"Uh, you'll find out in the future." Erica told him as she started walking away.
"The future?" He asked.
"The future." Erica nodded.
"What- You're not from the future." He shook his head.
"Keep telling yourself that, Serverus." Erica skipped away.
"How did you know my name?" Snape raised a brow.
Erica ignored the boy, soon spotting Parker walking up to Bellatrix.
"Um.. Miss Black?" Parker slowly walked up to Bellatrix who was standing herself.
"Hm?" Bellatrix raised a brow.
"I was just..wondering if I could ask a question." Parker nodded.
"Ask away." Bellatrix told her.
"So.. I'm planning something. You can be in it as well if you'd like. Do you.. Know where you'd find a time turner?" Parker blurted out.
"Well, rumour has it... There's a time turner in McGonagall's office." Bellatrix hummed.
"Oh? That's great. Right, meet me at her office in 2 hours, okay?" She nodded.
"Two hours." Bellatrix agreed.
"Right. Thank you, Bellatrix." She nodded again before she turned and walked off.
"You're welcome." Bellatrix called after her.
"Right, I know how to get home." Parker ran up to her friends.
"Thank goodness." Hermione sighed.
"Right, so we need to go to... McGonagall's office." Parker nodded.
"Sounds easy enough, let's go." Erica began walking in the direction of a portrait.
"Be careful." Harry nodded.
"When am I not?" Erica questioned, hopping through.
"Quite a lot. You work with dragons." Ron muttered.
"So?" Erica asked.
"That's not careful." Ron sighed.
"Let's just get the time turner and go home." Erica rolled her eyes.
They all nodded and walked off.
