Harry Potter next generation time travel!

Chapter 4

It was soon decided that Teddy would take James, Fred and Hugo to go look for food since they were the hungriest and eat there before bringing food back for the rest. Teddy disguised himself as a young muggle man with deep brown hair, hazel eyes and a medium build. Someone no one would glance at twice. James had dark hair, so neatly tamed no one would ever recognise him. Fred had dark blonde hair and light brown eyes. Meanwhile Hugo had black hair and dark brown eyes. Before they left Teddy tasked Vic with coming up with names, personalities and descriptions for all of them so they could leave the house safely bearing no resemblance to any prominent members of society. The Weasley red hair especially had to go.

Vic got down to it immediately while Rose dragged Scorpius and Albus with her to the library to look for more information about getting back, leaving Pandora and Lily in the living room. They decided to practice meditation to help them in accepting what they had seen and to strengthen their occlumency. Soon their breathing slowed down and became in sync. Their faces grew serene, both smiling. However their peace was disrupted by Rose running in heavily and panting.

"I have-great–news!" she exclaimed, out of breath. "Time in the future is frozen until we get back! That means we won't miss anything and I still have time to get a job! I'm going to look for more info!" She then ran out just as fast as she had come.

Pandora and Lily looked at each other then burst out laughing. It was the first time either of them had laughed since the incident and it felt good. Victoire let them for a while before cutting in. "While this is great, I've finished the names. Why don't you tell me if you like them?"

The names she had come up with were:

Teddy - John Smith (Muggle man with deep brown hair, hazel eyes and a medium build)

Vic - Sheila Smith (Muggle woman, wife of John. Black hair, dark brown eyes, nothing eye catching about her features)

James - Thomas Smith (Brother of John. Dark brown hair, dark eyes, slightly taller than John)

Fred - Bob Brown (Brother of Sheila. Dark blonde hair, light brown eyes, slightly shorter than average)

Hugo - George Brown (Brother of Sheila, black hair, light brown eyes average height)

Albus - Jacob Williams (Cousin of John. Dark blonde hair, dark blue eyes, average height)

Scorpius - Oliver Williams (Cousin of John, brother to Jacob. Dark blonde hair, light blue eyes, taller than average)

Rose - Amber Jones (Cousin of Sheila. Pitch black hair, black eyes, average figure)

Lily - Grace Jones (Cousin of Sheila, sister to Amber. Dark black hair, dark brown eyes, average figure)

Pandora - Audrey Jones (Cousin of Sheila, sister to Amber. Brown-black hair, black eyes, average figure)

All of them are related to John Smith either directly or through Sheila. John and I live here together and all of you came to visit us for my birthday.

"Oh wow! That's a lot of work! Thanks a lot Vic," smiled Lily.

"But why did you put us as sisters? Does that mean we can't be seen together outside?" asked Pandora with concern.

Vic looked apologetic. "Yeah, about that, since we don't want to draw attention, and society is still very conservative at this time, I thought it was better we acted like we were what they consider 'normal'. You can still be together inside of course but outside try to be like sisters. I'm really sorry but we can't risk anything."

"I...I see,"said Lily coolly. She understood, but she still felt upset with Vic. "Thank you for making the list. We'll be in our room," she said, pulling Pandora with her. She could feel tears welling up in her eyes. The one thing she wanted more than anything she couldn't have. All she wanted was to be with Pandora. And now she couldn't even have that. Why was this thing so unfair? Pandora opened their door and let Lily lie on her lap on the bed.

She began stroking her hair. "Look love, I get that you're upset. I am too. But we can't let that drag us down. In our time it's not like this. It's just for a few weeks, until we get back. I'm sure we can do that!" she encouraged . But Lily was not consoled.

"Weeks! That's too long, firstly, and secondly, who's to say we'll even get back? What if we don't and we're stuck here, like this, forever?" she cried hysterically, her body shaking.

"We have Rose, and Vic. Do you think they'll let us be stuck here? Rose has to get a job, remember? She'll get us out of here if it's the last thing she does. And besides, we can still be like this inside. We'll barely go out anyway! I think we can manage," she soothed.

"You're right. I just don't like the idea of being forbidden from something. It makes me want it more," laughed Lily, cheering up again. Pandora chuckled too and kissed her. Soon they both felt well enough to go down to apologise to Vic.

"Sorry for storming out just now Vic. I really do appreciate what you did," apologised Lily.

"That's fine Lils. I'm sorry it has to be this way too. Now why don't we find Rose before the boys die from boredom!" The three girls laughed as they made their way to the library, and for a while, things didn't seem so bad.
