Chapter 2
Hogwarts - London , England
The Mystic Gardians were in Hermonie's office later that day and they were deciding what to do about Baryl. Hermonie herself was looking over reports from the last Tri Wizard Cup which had involved Harry and that was when Voldamort had returned. She still got chills thinking about it. The Red Ranger looked at Hermonie.
"Hermonie come on. What's the matter? You can't let the past slow you down in the now."
"That isn't the problem Alex. It's the dark energy residue. It may have built up since then."
"And if Baryl uses it we're in big trouble." Kim said.
Alex nodded.
"Can we risk going back in time to stop it?" Harper asked.
"We'd be going back to that fight with Voldamort." Hermonie said.
"Just a minute Rangers." Alex snapped. "I know where this is going. If it's a time jump we're talking about it would have to be before that and we'd need to intercept."
"When then?" Raven asked.
"To Hermonie's third year as a student at Hogwarts. Before Voldamort came back the first time." Alex said. "That was about a year before the tri Wizard match Harry was in. The trouble hadn't started before that."
"Who's going?" Harper asked.
"Hermonie's there as a student already." Alex said. "There were already two of her there before. I'm going as is Raven. The rest hold the school just in case."
Alex used a time jump spell and she and Raven were gone.
"Alex is taking a major risk." Harper snapped.
"Well if she's right they can slow down the dark energy before Baryl can use it." Kim said.
Hermonie nodded.
She hoped Alex and Raven could pull it off.
Hogwarts - 1993
Alex and Raven were 14 years in the past and went to see Dumbledore.
"I'm Professor Ruso. I run the Ministry Of Magic in 2007. I need your help."
Dumbledore nodded.
"Please continue."
Raven spoke up.
"Sir we think dark magic residue has been building in the last 15 years and has somehow gained strength on it's own. If allowed to linger somebody dangerous may make use of it. They can draw power from it."
"So we came in hopes of might being able to contain that dark energy before that happens."
"Is there a shield or something that can contain this dark energy?"
Dumbledore nodded.
"There is Professors."
"It might be dangerous to use counter magic." Raven said.
"Professor Baxter has a point. Is there a Plan B?"
That got Dumbledore's attention.
"As a matter of fact yes Professor Ruso at great risk."
"We took that plenty coming to see you and Baryl is the bigger threat. We have to slow her down." Raven said.
That name chilled Dumbledore.
"I have a favor to ask while you two are here." Dumbledore said. "I need you two to cover as Head of the school while I look into your situation. I may be a few days."
"Sure Professor." Alex said.
"Then the school is in your charge Ruso and Baxter."
Dumbledore left.
"Alex we better keep a low profile while we're in the past." Raven snapped.
Hermonie entered with Ron and Harry.
"Professor Ruso can we have a word?" Hermonie asked.
"Sure Hermonie." Raven said.
Alex smiled.
"What can we do for you?"
Harry spoke.
"Well the problem is that unless a sub fills in then unfortunately we all fail the class."
Raven looked at them.
"What class?"
Ron looked at Raven.
"Defense Against The Dark Arts." Ron said.
"Boys would you wait out side the door a minute?" Raven asked.
Harry and Ron stepped out.
Alex looked at Hermonie.
"Sit down Ms Granger."
Hermonie did as Raven closed the door.
"Hermonie it was brilliantly lucky we found you." Raven said.
"We need your help on that count."
"Sure Professors. What can I do?"
"We came 14 years to your time to stop the dark energy from building up. Since you're studying up can you help us counter with a plan B if Magic doesn't work?" Alex asked.
"Sure we can. There are loads of ways to counter without magic." Hermonie said.
"Then we just might have our ace in the hole." Raven told Alex.
