Dumbledork Ruins My Morning
Brooke’s POV
I walk to Dumbledores office as he requested my presence. I was nervous as he didn’t call Harry with me, and I didn’t trust the old man whatsoever. There’s been to many ‘coincidences’ in my life to trust him. I was also annoyed cause I had been about to eat breakfast with the boys. Mattheo hadn’t been pleased and had wanted to march up here for me and say no. Theo and Draco were right behind him, if it hadn’t been for McG and Uncle Sev telling them no.
I read the letter sent to me, “Please come to my office I have something I wish to discuss, there will be lemon drops as well.”
I rolled my eyes, didn’t the man realize how obvious his passwords were. Anyone could brake in, he acted as if he were immortal. Then again why shouldn’t he, it’s how everyone else views him.
I said the password and walked into the room, and went to pet Fawkes. He rubbed against my hand before flying around and landing on my shoulder. Dumbledork then came out, “Brooke, lovely to see you my dear, I have a mission for you.”
I narrowed my eyes, “I’m not supposed to be doing missions at all…”
Dumbledore had a twinkle in his eyes that I’ve grown to hate over the years, “What you’re godfather and Sirius don’t know won’t hurt them, besides it’s nothing to dangerous.”
I didn’t believe a word of that and neither would Uncle Padfoot or Uncle Remmy. And neither would Uncle Sev or McG now that I think about it. But I shifted my weight and pretended to think while petting Fawkes. I then looked at him-not directly in the eyes of course with his stupid legilimency, I was working on that and occlumency but I wasn’t super good yet-and frowned.
“What’s the mission?”
I should’ve never accepted it. I should’ve said no and went straight to McG when he suggested such a thing, but of course I said yes and had no way back now without causing suspicion.
“Time Travel.”

Dumbledore explained that I would have to use a spell to travel as a time turner could not turn back that far. He also explained that I will be under the name Brooke Peverell as it could be proven with a blood test, and I had no living Peverell family. I don’t think this is a sound plan though do to the even more heightened prejudice back then. I think I’ll go as Brooke Riddle, though Mattheo could absolutely never find out about that. Neither could Harry for that matter.
”For the spell to the past you have to say Tempus Praeteritum, and you must focus on what pulls you to that time. I would suggest you’re parents, and you’re aiming for their fifth year. After you’ve completed you’re mission, to come back it’s Tempus Futurum, and again you must focus to bring yourself back.” He explained carefully. I nodded slightly excited now realizing I’d be time traveling. I’ve only read of it in books, sure I used a time turner but that was hours, this would be years. Sue me, I was an adventurous person, even though I didn’t trust the man doesn’t mean I don’t have to like the mission.
I focus on my parents fifth year, my dad, my mum, Sirius, uncle Remmy. Virgo as well should be there along with Regulus in his fourth year. Focusing I mutter the words, “Tempus Praeteritum…”
Suddenly everything is black and I feel myself moving, in my head I curse Dumbledork wondering if this too is a trick.
