Hogwarts 1997

The Golden trio sat at their usual spots in the great hall, they were unusually quiet and have been for a few weeks. Harrys head rested in the palm of his hand while Ron and Hermione were moping about the lack of communication between the three. Harry looked over at the empty seat at y/h table hoping their best friend would return to that seat soon. Hermione sighed, breaking the silence, causing the two boys to turn their attention to her, "what are we doing, guys?" she asked, "we cant just sit around moping all day wondering when Y/n is going to return, there has to be some way we can talk to her." she added. Harry took his head from his palm and looked up, "how do we do that?" he asked, "there has to be some way." Hermione said, "look at it this way, Tom riddle managed to get ahold of Ginny through his journal, what if we can do the same?" she pointed out. Ron's eyes widened a bit, "but Didn't Dumbledore say not to interfere with the mission?" he asked. harry looked at Ron, "he said not to interfere, not that we couldn't talk to her." harry pointed out. Hermione nodded and smiled, "exactly, we wouldn't be harming the mission, were just catching up, asking how she's doing. not like they can see us." she replied. both boys nodded, "prefect." Hermione smiled, "meet me in the library." she got up and walked out of the great hall.

Hogwarts 1944

Horace slughorn looked over his students as they read out of their potions books, eyes landing on a certain girl in the crowd of the students, as the bell rang everybody stood up, collecting their items and making their way to the door, before y/n could make her way to the door Slughorns voice boomed through the classroom, "Miss L/n! if you could please stay after for a little bit, i have a question for you." Y/n looked up at her teacher and nodded, watching her classmates walk out of the door, Slughorn sat behind his desk, "please, shut the door" he motioned to the door, y/n nodded and walked over and shut the door, she walked up to slughorns desk, "ive got word from Dumbledore that you are here on a very important mission from the future." Slughorn looked up at the girl, she nodded, "yes, sir, i am." she replied, voice high pitched as if she thought she had just gotten caught in a lie.

Slughorn nodded, he opened a drawer in his desk, pulling out a thin file, he held it out for her to take, y/n hesitated to take it, "go on then" Slughorn told her, y/n took the file and opened it, "it might be helpful in the mission, its just a few things that we think Tom might've gotten ahold of in his time at Hogwarts, and possibly more of his plans." he added. Y/n nodded and flipped a page of notes, "why are you giving these to me and not Ixius? hes more dedicated to this than i am" she replied. Slughorn sighed, "because Ixius is dedicated to the wrong cause, ive heard all about how he wants to help Tom, Killing him, isnt going to stop anything, and if hes making horcrux's, im afraid killing him may be too late."

........................

The Library was all too quiet today, barely anybody had been through the library especially at this time of day, it was perfect timing for y/n to slip through to the library during her free period. Y/n sat the file on the table, she opened it and began to read it, "these notes are basically his life, someone clearly dug into Toms life enough to make a full on documentary" 

Hogwarts 1997

Ron and Harry had gotten to the library to meet Hermione, who was already in a book when they got there. Hermione got a random book from a shelf, "if we write in this book, the same message would appear in this exact book in Y/n's time" she explained, opening the book to a blank page, she grabbed a vile of invisible ink and a quill. Hermione began writing in the book. 

Hogwarts 1944

Y/n jolted awake by a sudden buzzing noise ringing through out the library, she looked up and saw a book in one of the shelves, glowing, and buzzing. Y/n slowly stood up from the table, walking over to the shelf that held the glowing book. She grabbed the book and walked back to her table and opened it, 

"y/n, its us, we wanted to check in on you, making sure you're dong just fine there alone, Dumblesore had told us he sent in a Slytherin to come and help you, how's he doing?" 

Y/n looked at the writing, she ran her hand over the letters before thinking, the words disappeared after a few minutes. Y/n went over to her bag and pulled out her own ink and pen, she looked at the book and began writing. 

"Hermione, harry, Ron, is that you guys? things are doing just fine here, although im not exactly fond of Ixius, hes a little hard headed, its nice to hear from people whom i actually can trust with the information i Obtain. its been hard for the first few days here, but i can assure you i should be home soon, if not than i dont know when. Riddle found out i was from the future, he hasnt questioned why i was here, as far as he knows he think that im here for fun."

Y/n looked up and heard footsteps,

"somebody is coming, im taking this book back to my dorm. ill talk to you when i get more information." 

Y/n closed the book and shoved it in her bag, throwing her bag around her shoulder and walking out of the library and to her dorm.
