Author's Note: No, you are not seeing things. No, you are not going crazy. This really is a new chapter of Back to the Past: Harry's Wish Part II. I had a good reason for having it on hold. I couldn't concentrate on the plot. I'm back on it now.
This chapter switches views to Harry Potter and Ron Weasley's (the sons) point of views. The regular Harry, Ron, and Hermione are referred to by their code names the whole chapter. Enjoy.
Harry Potter and Ron Weasley (the sons) knew many things. They knew all the secret passages outside the school, they knew all the Slytherins were no good, and they knew they were two of the brightest students of their class (Heather outsmarted them, much to their dislike). Since they were such smart students they knew whenever they were being lied to and Henry Perkins, Rob Williams, and Helen Grant were lying to them.
For one thing, for new students they seemed to know their way around the castle very well. They also whispered quietly among each other, stopping abruptly if somebody came near them or entered the room they were in. They also slipped up with each other's names sometimes.
"Look, Herm-I mean Helen," Rob said just the other day. The third time (in one hour) this occurred. Helen threw Rob a disapproving look.
"Those three are hiding something," Harry said to Ron one day after they had eaten a quick lunch. "I know it." Just as he was saying this, they rounded a corner and spotted Henry, Rob, and Noreen talking with each other. Ducking behind a statue, they were able to listen to their conversation.
"So what were you two doing in there?" came Noreen's voice.
They heard hurried footsteps then Noreen again. "Oi! Gaby!" What was Harry's sister doing there? "Is that your brother's broomstick?" Harry made a mental note not to give Gaby anything for Christmas.
"Yes," came Gaby's voice. "but I have a good reason for taking it." Noreen laughed. Harry and Ron did not see it as a laughing matter.
"Just make sure to hide it in a place Harry can't find it this time," she warned. They heard footsteps again and Gaby ran past them, red hair flying behind her.
"That's the last of the Weasley clan you'll meet. The rest of them are still at home, although there should be about six of them coming next year, I believe. Anyway, what were you looking for?"
Harry and Ron stood stiff as a board, waiting for a response.
"Nothing important," said Henry.
Lies, thought Harry.
"Yeah," said Rob. "It's for a, er…project."
"We should go-"
"A project that involved breaking in to Filch's office?"
Harry and Ron's jaws dropped as Henry sighed. Why did they need to break in to Filch's office? That was suicide!
"No," Henry admitted. "Harry and Ron mentioned that their dad's never got in to trouble at school and we just wanted to see if it was true. But there are no detention records of them in there. I don't know where to look-"
"McGonagall used to head of Gryffindor house when their dad's went to school," Noreen interrupted. "I know the were in Gryffindor so maybe the records are still in Professor Mason's office. Come on." Noreen ran down the corridor and up a flight of stairs, Henry and Rob at her heels. Harry and Ron came out from their hiding place when they could no long hear their footsteps.
"Why would they care at all about whether our dad's got in to trouble at school or not?" Ron wondered aloud.
"I don't know," said Harry. "but apparently they cared about it enough to risk getting detention until graduation." Ron gave him a concerned look.
"Is it really right to snoop in to their business?" Harry sighed.
"Sometimes I wonder if I'm really related to you. Of course we're going to snoop!"
Later that day, they cornered Noreen in the common room.
"What did Henry and Rob say to you today?" Harry demanded. Noreen rolled her eyes.
"What makes you think I'm going to tell you?"
"Because you're our favorite cousin!"
"I'm not related to you in any way."
"Please?" Ron begged. Harry rolled his eyes, knowing they would get nowhere from begging.
"No," Noreen said shortly before turning back to an Arthimancy essay.
"Come on, Noreen. Why would they want to break in to Filch's office for our dad's?" Harry inquired.
"Were you eavesdropping?"
"No. We just overheard." Noreen rolled her eyes. She didn't believe them and she probably never would. They heard the portrait swing open. Henry and Rob climbed through, followed closely by a very chatty Gabby. Henry looked rather uncomfortable.
"Poor bloke," Noreen commented, glancing up from her studies.
Now both, Rob and Henry looked rather uncomfortable and slightly concerned. There was a rush of footsteps and Helen came from the girl's staircase. She muttered something to the two boys and grabbed their arms, dragging them from the common room.
It might've been a trick of the light, but Harry and Ron thought they saw Helen's hair start to grow outwards. They also thought they saw Henry's hair become darker, and Rob's hair had a strange reddish tint to it now.
Making sure Noreen wasn't watching them; Harry and Ron ducked out of the common room. Harry and Ron pulled out some Extendable Ears from their pockets. They heard voices in the first room they tried.
"What happened Her-Helen?" came Henry's voice.
"The spell was only temporary!" came Helen's voice. She sounded extremely anxious. "Oh if anybody had seen!"
"Nobody saw," said Rob. "Nobody noticed."
"Somebody could've noticed and I wish you'd act a little more concerned at our present situation! Honestly!"
"I am! But Helen, we've been here for six days," Rob said. "Remember what you said?"
"Oh, I can't leave. I need to beat Heather in all the classes. We have so many tests coming up! Which means you two are staying too."
"Come on, Helen," Rob pleaded.
"No, Rob. That's final." Harry and Ron heard footsteps and hurriedly gave the Extendable Ears a tug and leapt behind a tapestry just as the classroom door swung open. Henry, Helen, and Rob walked past them while Harry and Ron wondered what they had been talking about and why these people reminded them of somebody else they knew very well but couldn't put their finger on.
