Time Travel : Tri-Wizard Tournament

Chapter IX: Suspicions

Hermione POV

The exchange students from Beauxbatons , Durmstrang and the family of home schoolers, have been at Hogwarts for a month now. It was getting closer to the fist task. Harry has become very agitated and snappy about in the past weeks and him and Ron aren't talking, I feel like pulling my hair out. The Wilkinson's and Parker's and their friends were a little strange. They kept on saying things that, as far as I know, haven't happened yet for example last night at dinner, Ron was talking to James about the handsome ... I mean Krum, just Krum, Victor Krum,  he's definitely not handsome at all. Ok i'm blushing now .. moving on. James said "Yeh he's alright, he was good when he won the world cup, he's getting a bit slow now though, I personally prefer Alex Croffer or Layla Addington" while stuffing a fork full of pie into his mouth. Ron and Harry gave him a puzzled look, I'm not a big fan of quidditch or any sport really I'm more of a stay inside and read kinda girl, but even I haven't heard of them, yet I'm sure there's a David Addington in Ravenclaw who has a younger sister called Layla. Louis butted in, for some reason him, James and Fred seemed to be walking on eggshells around Teddy, even now. "Jamie here,  thinks himself a 'seer', yeh know he likes divination, I bet them people are barely out of nappies (A/N: Diapers for American readers who don't understand the term "nappies" he nudged James in the ribs, who groaned but muttered something that sounded suspiciously like "I hate Divination", I probably miss heard though. "Jamie squidge up" a girl said, I soon realised it was Lily. It was also strange how both Lily and James had the same name as Harry's parents, Fred had the same name as Fred Weasley, and well Albus isn't exactly a normal name is it. Coincidence? There's still a lot of things I don't get, and I don't like not understanding.

Anyways, back to the present.  We, (Harry and I, Ron was in his dorm still sulking) were sat in the common room, doing homework. "The exchange students are weird" I blurted out, Harry looked up from his potions book, "what do you mean?" he said. "Not the Beauxbatones or the D-Durmstrangs but the home schooled kids" I told him, at this he smirked, "what?" I was annoyed at the fact that he was laughing at me, "oh nothing, so whats so strange about them?" Harry asked smiling, urg! Shoving my annoyance aside I told him about the name thing, the quidditch thing about how James was saying he likes two players who nobodies ever heard about, the thing were James said Krum won the world cup (he hasn't BTW), how they seem to change from one topic to another when one of them elbows or glares at another. "Yeh it is kinda strange" he said, "but I have other things to worry about 'Mione" and with that the conversation was over, Harry turned back to his potions work while I decided to finish my Ancient Ruin essay. I didn't really pay attention to what I was reading, I kept thinking about my plan: I was going to get to the bottom of the home schoolers by writing a list of all the strange stuff going on and I was going to try and catch them out in things. But first i'd have to try and get Ron and Harry to talk, or at least be in the same room for other then classes.

Teddy PoV 

I was freaking out! It felt like we'd been here for weeks, I don't know what the whole time difference was between godfathers time and our time, but if we'd all really been gone for weeks Victoire was going to be freaking out! Everyone was gonna hate me, I let their kids go 20 something years back in time! It was really getting to me now and apparently it showed. "Whats up Teddy Bear?" Lily asked as she came and sat on my knee "heya Lils" I said, pulling her into a more comfy position on my knee, a position that didn't make my leg go dead, "so what are you thinking about, you have that serious face on again and your hair's gone brown" as she said this she ruffled my apparently brown hair, "you look like your dad you know" she told me. "Do you think?" quite a lot of people have told me that over the years, especially my grandma and Mrs Weasley, who is basically like my second grandma, even Harry has said that, "yeh" Lily agreed "well you look a lot like your mum and grandma Lily senior" I said making her laugh, "yeh dad says that, I don't like been compared to them though, neither does James, its as if everybody has these expectations from us, like I'm supposed to be good at charms and Potions, but in fact i'm crap at both of them" Lily sighed after she'd finished as if she was glad she'd gotten that off her chest. "Lily, you don't have to be anyone except who you are, you are an awesome Beater, I mean you became one of the Gryffindor Beaters in your first year at Hogwarts back in our time and your are awesome at DADA, and your the only one out of your brothers with glasses" I told her, "aww thanks Ted". I looked at the time on my watch Harry, Ginny and my grandma had gotten me for my 17th birthday, "Come on we should go, unless you want to miss dinner" I stood up and so did my .. godsister? I'm not sure what you call the children of your godparents, godsiblings? "Can you give me a piggyback?" she asked, batting her eyes and giving me that mischievous smile that nobody could resist. "Fine come on then" I sighed, I crouched down and she jumped on my back.
