Chapter 3: The Investigation

It was Hermione who broke the long silence during which Silvanus felt awkward as he couldn't understand what was going, " Why are we chosen for this?..... I mean there must be other people, and you must be far more advanced than us" said Hermione, Silvanus gave a sigh of disappointment," I think there is no other way, I am forced to tell you," he said, " Alexis Hermione potter, is the daughter of your future born son Albus potter" looking at Harry, it made Harry quite surprised to know that he was going to have a second son and he is going to named Albus, Silvanus noticed this change of expression on Harry's face and said," This is why I was reluctant to tell you, if you know what your future is going to be, you can't resist but to change it the way you want, and if done so you ultimately change the future", Harry quite got lost for the moment, but then he asked, " What did Alexis do?", " I can't discus it here you'll have to come with me" said Silvanus, " We need proof of if this is happening for real" said Hermione, "of course you can just take me where Mr. Bartimeus crouch was buried, I deduce that there will be nobody in there" said Silvanus looking assured of what he said, " okay, let's go andcheck it out but if you lie, you are facing real issues then" said Harry,

As they left the ministry of magic the lift door swung open and Hundreds pf thousands of reporters were standing with quills and notepads, as soon as they saw Harry and Hermione they bombarded them with questions, Silvanus picked up one or two," Mr. potter, is it true that a living body of late barty crouch was found attacking the janitor of the ministry?" asked one reporter, "Is this man responsible for playing a prank at the ministry?" asked another, Silvanus stood frozen on his ground, "what had he done, exposing himself to a crowd of people who were not his time?..........And to add more, they were reporters" thoughts of getting caught were zooming in his mind, until a hand clamped upon his shoulder which brought him back and a voice said, "Don't worry buddy, they won't do anything", It was a man with round face and a patch of undergrown beard and flaming red hair, it took time to for Silvanus to adjust his eyes but as soon as he did it, he was holding his hands with Ronald weasley.

Apparently, Hermione had told Ron every thing and the four of them sat in a car and were discussing about the matter," Bloody hell, that sounds like something death eaters would do" said Ron, " There are no death eaters roaming in this world....and the guy says he is from future.." said harry. they all now focused their eyes on Silvanus, Ron said " So you are Harry's grandson?.......what about me, do I have one or more than one?" Hermione gave a death stare at Ron, " C'mon, Ron you don't even have children, thinking about grandson's.... it's to farfetched" said Harry, Silvanus gave a smile which Hermione saw, and she blushed.

A little after an hour, they arrived at the morgue and a guard met and shook hand with all of them, they went on towards the grave of Mr. Bartimeus crouch, Ron, Harry and the guard started to dig not long enough they found the coffin, they lifted it up, and after breaking the sealing of the coffin they removed the lid, and to there horror, they saw nothing but, an empty coffin.

They settled back quietly into their car, nobody bothered to talk, Silvanus though shocked looked pleased with himself on the inside as this ensured that the trio would be coming with him. They stopped at the house of number 12 grimmauld place, Silvanus smiled as before coming here he had stayed there and it was a sort of museum for the depiction of old wizarding house in his year. Harry got out and so did the other, Harry rang the doorbell, a boy with shabby hairs, a little outgrown front teeth wearing a quidditch cup T- shirt opened the door a hugged harry tightly, Silvanus nearly came to tears, he saw his father, James potter, he was in his childhood, " Who is it?" asked a motherly voice, a woman with same height as Hermione but features like Ron came to the door, there was no mistaking it was Ginny potter-weasley.

She recognised Harry, Hermione and Ron, but she looked confused seeing Silvanus, before her asking questions Harry motioned him inside and they all got into the house, James potter, who apparently eating his dinner was bouncing off on the sofa, " Finish your dinner, and then you can watch T.V" said Ginny, Harry nudged Ginny to follow him to the Kitchen, Hermione followed them also, Ron sat on the table with James, and they started discussing on quidditch, " Don't do it, anyone of you...... I can't bare to see anymore death" Ginny said, she was very tensed judging from her voice, " You told me, Harry the battle was the last of your adventure" she went on, " I know Ginny but, I can't do anything else, I am the head of the Auror department, and you saw what happened at the ministry today, I've got to act" said harry. Ron came back to where Silvanus was sitting, on the sofas. Hermione was back, She asked Silvanus, " Barty crouch's body would have rotten if alexis took it, it doesn't seem to fit, he was murdered in 1995, which put's things in awkward position", Silvanus thought for a moment and said," YES, that's what we missed.. oh.... how can I let that happen..." , irritatingly Hermione asked," What have you forgotten?", Silvanus looked at her with excitement and answered, " The year, Alexis simply went back to the year he was murdered, his body was fresh at that moment...how could've missed it"

Ron turned on the T.V and went on to the news channel, Harry and Ginny came back and were some what discussing what they have decided and Hermione was telling Harry about the discovery by Silvanus, when Ron exclaimed, " You should probably listen to this", he increased the volume of the television a reported said," No more than 6 people witnessed and break in into a artifacts shop in diagon alley and saw Mr. Alastor moody, the ex auror reported dead in the year 1997 is now seems to be alive, special reports have been initiated and will be aired shortly, after a break", now all of them were in shock, Silvanus sprung up and said, " We must leave immediately, this is getting out of control.." , Ron interrupted him, " Woah, Woah... hang in there we have to discuss this first", " Ron is right, we must stay calm" said Hermione, " we leave tomorrow, now we get some sleep," said Harry looking determined to solve this mystery at any cost.
