No one is safe right now
The next days were exhausting for them not only that they couldn't rest much anymore, but the locket , Ron had it for a few days now he changed a lot in Willow's eyes and neither did Harry nor Hermione say something to him , he had bags under his eyes his skin was pale and the once red colour faded more and more , He would always listen to the radio with fear that a name of one his family members would fall Ron had fear that they would die and he didn't heard their names , he kept the radio close to him while he was walking, resting, eating or asleep. At one day death eaters were everywhere and the four had to hide in a run down barn , the barn was abandoned for many Years there was still hay and straw , the wooden planks were mouldy , there where holes in the walls, selling and the barn door was not even on the hinge anymore , but it was good enough for two days. After many days they came around a river and decided to pack the tent out to stay for a Little bit and rest, Willow and Hermione put an enchanted shield over the tent so they would be safe for at least one or two days. Ron was the first to lay down his ears and head started to hurt with ticking and hissing from the locket , Ron looked in the same direction an hour later , Willow walked up to him and laid her hand on his shoulder, Ron flinched at the contact but stopped when he saw the worried face of Willow “give to me Ron“ she sat down on the ground and laid her head on the mattress, Ron looked at her as if she could hear it herself “it won't stop Will's, my head is hurting like hell and my ears are going to bloody explode“ he told her ,Ron only saw how her hand reached out and waited till he would give it up “but after what happened the first time Will's“ he sat up and looked down at her , Willow could only smile “y'all don't even notice when I remove it from your necks when y'all are sleeping, it won't happen again, I promise I will give it back as soon its starting to heat up“ Willow got up and her hand reach out ,when Ron saw it he wanted to hold on tight but she had already let it dangle in front of his face “see your not fast enough“ she laughed at him and started to run to Harry and Hermione , Ron nearly fell out of his bed when he started to run after her “Willow“ he laughs as they started to play catch , Hermione was loud laughing wit her hand over her mouth , Harry got up after his fresh haircut and was playing along.
It was standing to get dark outside at the Malfoy Mansion, Draco sat in his chair near by the window and waited and waited and waited but his owl came every time back with the letters he had written to his cousin Willow ,but his owl couldn't find her anywhere, even when the both of the did fall apart he couldn't dared to see his mother and Willow's Mother like this both of the woman would break their heads searching for her , but he would too , Draco didn't care if she did go with Hogwarts golden trio , he did care if she was coming back home alive , the dark lord sent most of his followers hunting for them if one of the groups would find them Draco's fear was that he would kill her with no hesitation, after all was she the daughter of Regulus and in the dark lords eyes was he a traitor, after the dark lord had found out why they were in the ministry he nearly killed Aurora not even the mother herself knew were her daughter had went.
Draco still sat in his chair it was so dark outside that you wouldn't even know your were at the Manor , he didn't want to give up after all Willow was not alone Mione was with her , yes Draco missed Hermione too after all they shared a few nights together in the prefect bathroom together to study or even cuddle or share kisses. He thought about the two girls every day in the mansion , Draco sight and opened up his window, he had to look a second time , his mind was playing with him Draco could sworn he saw himself with Hermione and Willow standing there and watching children play or was it just himself with his cousins and their parents watching, when he heard a knock he stepped away from the window “yes“ he answered calm , when the door opened he could see is aunt “your still waiting?“ Aurora asked him , Draco nodded and looked to the pile of letters he send but always came back , Aurora smiled at him “you don't have to wait anymore“ she smiled and was about to cry , he looked at her in shock when she hold a letter out to him “this one is just for you“ he got a hold on the letter and sat down to open it

Draco needed a moment to let it suck and not to laugh its just like she was right next to him he could hear her voice loud and clear, he looked in the envelope and saw some sort of picture, it was her with Hermione dancing on the table laughing, but both of the girls looked tired “she's looking so tired but then again not“ Draco said and saw Aurora sitting next to him in the other chair “I know but..but you know her“ Aurora sighed and looked at the closed envelope in her hands “you didn't read yours?“ he asked her , Aurora shook her head “no..I want that she will tell me what she had written in it... when we see her again“ she told Draco and gave it to him “keep it safe for us okay?“ Draco smiled and nodded when he hold onto the envelope , he wondered if she would ever tell her mother what was written on the paper , Draco watched a tear sliding down Aurora's cheek as she got up , Draco looked at her and got up and walked to his aunt and hugged her “she will come back , she will always come back to us“ he tried to give her some hope , she cried and hugged him back “Draco promise me you...you will find her and bring her back to us...promise me that you will search for her, I can't lose her to those nasty things like I lost Regulus“ she cried out , Draco had to pull himself together not to cry too , he let go of her and looked at his aunt “I promise you won't lose her , I will search with anything I have to bring her home“ he promised it not only to his aunt , he promised it to himself, his Mother and Willow.
Willow watched the stars , she searched for her father's and uncle's, when she found them she smiled and waved up into the night sky “I wish I could speak with you“ she whispered and the wind started to blew in her face like a sign that he was always there with her , she could her someone getting up and she knew it was time to switch “good night you two , love you both“ she whispered to herself and got up and saw Harry getting out of the tent , he smiled at her “I think they are always here with us too you know“ Harry told her and she look at him and started to smile “they would never leave us even when they are up there“ he spoke it out , Harry was always thinking about his godfather and knew he Sirius wouldn't let his godson alone and would always watch over him “some time i wish the would answer back and would speak to me like they were still alive, I know they answer but I can't hear them , even when I didn't got the chance to meet my dad I love him more then myself, some times when my mother told me stories about him I always felt like he was there and told them himself“ she gave Harry a sad smile and he only could nod , he knew what she meant every time he would hear stories about his parents he felt it like Willow like both of them were there and would tell him. After Willow told Harry her good night he sat there and was thinking about what Willow was saying, she was right , all of the people they lost were with them every single second in this war.
Willow saw Hermione sleeping with a book in her hands and Ron with his radio , the book Hermione was holding on to was very familiar, it was Draco's and Willow always knew, both of them doing like they hated each other but both of them in love with the other. Willow laid down on the mattress and was out in seconds , when her eyes opened in her dream , Willow laid underneath a willow tree and could hear laughing, she sat up and looked around and she wasn't sure of to was a dream or reality, when she looked around she saw a young woman probably in her 20s with red long hair watching others flying on brooms in the sky playing quidditch, she got up and started to walk towards the group of people when she heard a familiar voice calling her name, when she turned around she saw the yellow and black robes she knew who it was “Cedy is that you?“ she called when the boy stood infront of her she couldn't believe herself “you changed much“ he told her , Willow didn't knew what to say to Cedric , she remembered how Harry was holding onto his death body and how much Willow's heart has broke when she watched her best friend laying death on the grass “how..“ she started to poke him in his face , he stopped her hand “I wish I could say its forever but your only here for a visit Wills“ he gave her a sad smile, she didn't understand what he meant at first but then it made click “don't you dare to tell me this old idiot send you to press me again some stupid talk that I don't what to hear from him“ she was going to explode if Dumbledore was sending her dead best friend so he could speak to her “no no no Wills some other's would like to meet you“ Cedric told her and pointed at the group that was playing quidditch , Willow looked behind her “I saw them when I woke up , who are they?“ she questioned him , he smiled and held his hand out “you will know when we are there“ Willow took his hand and bot started to walk towards the group, Willow looked at Cedric she had this one question in her mind but wasn't sure how to asked but when Cedric shook his head , Willow knew he knew what she wanted to asked “it didn't hurt , I was there the one second and the other I woke up here“ he told her , she gave him a sad smile “you did asked for yourself to know if you get hit with it“ Cedric knew that it wasn't for someone other than her, after all was the dark lord now even more searching for her after he had found out that she is Regulus Black's daughter and the heir black and the daughter to the one that betrayed him “I just have fear that it will hurt , after all Bellatrix is his right hand and my blood , she would torture me and would then let Voldemort kill me“ She still hated and feared that woman , Bellatrix was crazy for Voldemort. When both came to stop Cedric let go of Willow's hand and pushed her a little further, the woman with red hair was the first to notice and gasped “no“ she said and walked up to Willow “please don't tell me your dead“ she said and touch the girls arms , Willow turned her head to see Cedric “Lilly she isn't she is still alive“ he told the woman , Willow looked in Lilly's face and realised who she was “your Harry's mum“ Willow spoke in shock and Lilly nodded , Willow knew now who the others could be and was really close to cry. Lilly looked up to the guys and tried to get their attention but nothing worked “let them I can wait, no one will wake me up in the next hours“ Willow told Lilly, she smiled at Willow “than you can tell me every thing about Harry“ Lilly sat down on the blanket that laid on the grass , Willow looked behind her to Cedric who was about to go “Ced? were are you going?“ she asked him , he turned around and smiled at her “my mother is waiting Will's“ Willow's smile fell, Cedric's mother died at that very moment and was waiting for her son. After the news Willow was sad but the again not because she knew Marie Diggory was now reunited with the only child she ever had and lost.
Willow told Lilly every thing about Harry that she could , Lilly listen to the girl and smiled to hear so much about her son from a girl that wasn't a part of his friends since first year but was one of his friends now , Willow knew much about Harry and his life even when she wasn't close to him in the beginning, Lilly laughed when Willow told her about the night when Harry was wandering in the corridors and Snape found him “and then he said my dad didn't strut and nor do I was the best thing I ever heard , Hermione and I was recreating that night a couple weeks ago and Ron was laughing so hard that his nose started to bleed“ Willow told her laughing and that was when a head with Black curly hair turned around and looked down to not only seeing Lilly but a girl sitting next to her “Reggie come onnn the game is not...“ Sirius looked down and saw that was Regulus saw “oh Merlin when I get you , your done your soo done“ Sirius mumbles under his breath, James Potter laughed and held the golden snitch “I WON“ he screamed, when James turned his head he saw the two Black brothers staring down to his wife he looked down too and when he saw the girl the snitch fell out of his hand down to the ground “don't tell me they got them“ he looked to Sirius and Regulus, both of them looked sad and without anything to say Sirius was the first to fly down and jumping down from his broom “don't you dare to tell me they killed you don't you dare“ his voice got louder and angrier “don't you dare to tell me you died because of Dumbledore that foolish old dead man“ Sirius looked Willow directly in the eyes, Willow saw her uncle and got up and started run in his arms “uncle Sirius“ she whispered, he was in shock when his niece arms collapsed around him “oh Will's don't, its not your time“ he was about to cry , Willow let go of him and looked after her uncle “I'm still alive don't worry they can't find us“ she told him and he started to breathe normal again “but I think I'm here because Merlin want to let me meet someone“ she looked up to Regulus who was talking to James , Sirius nodded and looked at his brother and nodded with a smile, Regulus eyes got bigger and took a deep breath in and out , James was the second who got down “you must be Willow, I'm James Potter“ he introduced himself and held his hand out , Willow shook his hand “I'm Willow , Willow Black“ she smiled, it was like she looked in Harry's face but with other eyes. James and Sirius heard how Regulus got off from his broom , both of them did make space for him , Regulus looked at his daughter it was strange to see his daughter as a young woman and not as little girl anymore, he himself died at 18 and Willow was now 17 , Regulus stood there and looked at her like he saw a ghost like in his first year at Hogwarts “hi Pa“ she smiled at her father, Regulus snapped out of his staring and walked up to his daughter and hugged her “oh Willow“ he whispered, Willow hugged him back and didn't want to let go of him it was the first time ever she could remember hugging him ,a tear was rolling down her cheek she finally could hold on to him , Regulus broke the hug to look at his daughter form head to toe , he felt the dark magic he had to feel when he died “does it hurt?“ Regulus asked Willow , she shook her head “not anymore, I will have the scar forever but its okay“ she pulled her shirt down and he saw the scar in form of the locket right between her collarbone , he was shocked that the thing could do something like this and it did it by his daughter, Willow looked at her father “I could see how you died“ Willow's eyes got darker when she started to look down, Sirius looked at his niece he didn't knew what really happened in that cave but the look on Willow's face told him it was awful to watch , Willow looked back up “it showed me , the locket showed me how you died ,when it burned me“ her voice kept going quieter with every word she said, Lilly took her husband's hand and looked at his worried face.
After she told them about more things that happened and nearly cost them their lives, James was so near to search in the after life for Dumbledore and kick his arse for what he has done to them and their children , James stood up from were they were sitting and looked at Willow “you four need to stop your not safe anymore“ he shook his head , James was affected by everything she told him what Harry had to live through in his Hogwarts years and now Harry had to fight a war that started 50 years back in time and that because Dumbledore made wrong decisions , Willow looked at James “no one is safe right now“ she corrected him , the Black brothers looked at each other and Regulus nodded at his brother “but there is a way to stop everything“ Sirius spoke out loud and Regulus nodded , the brothers had a big secret that no one knew about “Before I died , Sirius and I met up again , it was the day after I found out about you not even Ora knew she was pregnant , you were the reason why I wrote him to help me“ Regulus looked at Willow , she found out that he knew about her before even her mother did “why didn't you tell us Sirius?“ James asked and Lilly nodded “James is right , why didn't you told us we could have help you two?“ Lilly looked at the brothers , Sirius looked at his adopted brother and sister in-law and signed “I decided Regulus and me should take the Unbreakable Vow for the safety of us all“ Sirius told them , still Lilly couldn't understand why he didn't told them after Regulus died , Sirius was free from the vow after he died but still decided to not tell them “but like we said there is a way to stop most of it before it even happened“ Regulus looked at his daughter with a sad smile “but when we tried it , it didn't work but we think it might work with Willow“ Regulus looked away so he don't have to see Willow's reaction “we can help you and won't leave you alone but..but you are going to jump 50 years back in time“ Sirius finished and looked over to his brother, Lilly shook her head and spoke up“she is still a child on one side are you crazy you can't“-“I will do it“ Willow interrupt Lilly and looked at her father who looked back to her “I will do it, you all won't die , Lilly and James will get the chance to see Harry grow , Sirius don't have to spent 12 years in Azkaban, Remus don't have to be 12 years alone every full moon , Peter won't betrayed anyone of you and...You will have mum back“ she listed why she would do it.
Regulus knew he would see his daughter even then it was like another universe but still would she save this universe and most people would remember her like Aurora,Draco,Hermione,Harry,Ron,Remus and the rest of the Wizarding world , Lilly and James did never died on October 31, 1981, Sirius wouldn't spent years in Azkaban and wouldn't die , Regulus wouldn't drown and the rest of the witches, wizards and muggles wouldn't die.
Willow looked at her Father “tell me how it works“ Regulus nodded and looked at his brother “we don't have much time to explain, you will wake up soon but its enough for the important things“ Regulus told her , Willow listen closely to her Father and uncle “we will help you from the other side , we can't tell you when it will happen, but it will happen, myself doesn't like the idea but...“-“you have to warp Tom Riddle around your finger“ Sirius spoke up for his brother, Willow looked at both of them “Tom Riddle as in Voldemort, you know who, the dark lord?“ her chin fell when both nodded “of course why not , I will just wink at him and show him my ankle“ Lilly and James laughed at Willow's comment “did the both of you went mad like Bellatrix“ her voice got louder and her face darker , Sirius looked at his brother “I can understand you now why you feared Aurora“ he whispered, Regulus had to swallow and looked at his daughter “who went mad like Bellatrix?“ a Mans voice echoes over the field , Regulus shook his head “not now Evan and Edward“ Willow's face brightens up when she saw her uncle's face “uncle Edward“ she says, Edward looked at his niece and smiled “if thats not my little Willow“ he walked up to her and hugged her “you look so much like you mum, but the eyes did you have from that goofball over there mh, oh Reggie you can't tell me I am not a good match maker , see now what you lost Po-“-“don't you dare“ Regulus looked at his brother in-law with a stern look on his face , Willow started to laugh “I already know“ she spoke out, James and Regulus looked both now at Sirius, who was holding his arms up in defence “it wasn't me this time“-“yeah it wasn't Sirius, Mum and Moony told me“ Willow defended her Uncle Padfoot ,Evan , Edward and Lilly laughed at both of them “you two should thank us by stopping them both from telling Harry“ Sirius urge and Willow nodded “since when did Remus has such a big mouth?“ a blond woman asked and she look like luna only some years older and it made click in Willow's head “you must be Pandora Lovegood, my godmother“ she says and the young woman nodded “that would be me , I think you met your godfather Evan already“ Pandora said , Willow looked at her father “you can be lucky that you didn't made that other snake my godfather, the one who is responsible for Cedric's death?“ she told her father who looked at her, Edward looked at his niece “we can talk about that later okay, Cedric and Barty are both friends now , but we have more important stuff to sort out“ Willow packed her everything in her head away and gave her uncle a quick nod “I will do it , even if I have to warp that git around my finger“ Willow let the words play around her head, its not that bad at least she don't have to marry him.
After a long talk how its gonna work Willow knew she wouldn't come back or at least not in the year 1997 and it was not a date clear when it would happen and were , no one could say when it will work but that it will work, Willow looked at her father explained how it will work “like we said we know it will work but we can't tell you a date , it will happen when the time has come, we all have still the magic we were born with and that will bring you in the 40's , we assume you will land in Hogwarts, Hogsmeade or the worst platform 9¾ if you land there and somethings happened we can't really help you without anyone noticing our ghost form , so we hope that you will land in Hogwarts or Hogsmeade, your name will be still Willow but you can't go with the surname Black , it wasn't my idea so you have to be mad at your beloved three uncles and godfather, your name in that time will be Willow Rosalie Jane Aubert , it means-“-“Noble and bright Papa tu penses vraiment que je ne parle pas Français, je comprends tout ce qu'on me dit en français. Rappelez-vous papa, votre famille et la famille de ma mère sont originaires de France avant que la noble maison des Black ne vienne en Angleterre comme la famille Avery et la plupart des membres de la famille Avery vivent toujours cachés en France, donc je ne pense pas que nous ayons besoin de cette conversation“ She spoke to her Father in French, he looked like he saw a ghost and Sirius, Edward and Evan were smirking and looked down to the ground and both tried not to laugh. Translation (Dad you really think I don't speak French, I understand everything people say to me in French. Remember dad your family and my mother's family originated from France before the noble house of Black came to England like the Avery family and most of the Avery family still live in hiding in France so I don't don't think we need this conversation)Translation
Willow knew after the many smiles and laughs they shared she knew it was time to wake up now “I think I need to go“ she spoke out , Willow could see Cedric walking towards them , he was the one who was there when she woke up and he will be the one who will bring her back “I know“ Regulus voice was sad , he knew he would see his daughter much more now but still it was hard to let her go again. Cedric came to a stop twenty feet away from her with a smile on his lips “its time to say goodbye Wills“ Cedric told her , Willow turned around to the group of people most of them really young , even her uncle died really young but did get the chance to meet the twins and have some beautiful years with them he always watched over them after he died but Edward didn't got the chance to say goodbye on platform 9¾ , he died after Willow fourth birthday the twins were three and a half year old “I will miss you all“ She said and hugged her Father , uncle's , godparents and the potters. When Willow had to let go of the group hug tears were rolling down her face , she gave them a sad smile and turned herself to Cedric and walked to him , Regulus heart broke he had to watch his daughter go again, Willow stopped and turned back and rushed in her fathers arms “I love you Papa“ she whispers , Regulus laid his chin of her head and was holding her a little longer “I love you too Willow“ he whispered back, after a minute both did let go and looked at each other “look after mum while I'm not here okay?“ Regulus gave his daughter a nod “I promise“ he smiled and waved his daughter when she turned back to Cedric.
Willow looked one last time back and waved the group , when she looked at her best friend Willow knew it was now time “love u Wills“-“love u too Cedi“ she hugged him and could feel how everything started to fade “play for me a match quidditch with my family okay?“ she asked him , he cracked a smile “I will , tell Harry we still have a open match“ Willow nodded and with that her eyes opened up and she shoot up, she took a deep breath in and looked at Hermione's worried face “I was in the after life I think“ Willow whispers , Hermione nod “I know, I was there before you“ both wondered why Hermione was there before Willow , but Willow could remember everything and Hermione could not , but she can't tell anyone the plan they made.
