twenty-nine; alternate future!Tobi is dating Yukimi, fyi

[onlyapparate]

Everyone, I hope we're all staying calm after this strange turn of events. It seems the Castle transported us to different point in time. I checked my calendar, and it claims this is 2010, to be exact. It's hard to believe, I know. And although some of you are not here with the best intentions, I think it's safe to say that whatever magic occurred will revert itself soon enough, just as it always does. So try not to panic. Trust me, I've been working here for a while now.

What this means is, it's safe to assume that our children are safe at home, as it's likely that only people in Hogwarts ten years ago were affected. So I won't get mad at you, Yukimi, because it's not your fault you left Dawn at home.

Since that's the case, let's try and think back to what we were like ten years ago! It seems like such a long time ago, doesn't it? Times were a lot simpler then... I was single, for one thing...

Thobari?

[onlyapparate]

Maron! How nice to hear from you! How are you doing?

[genki-ni-yuuki.livejournal.com]

I'm alright, sort of. I just ran in to Yukimi a little while ago. Are you still teaching here?

[onlyapparate]

Yes, I've been teaching this whole time. It's very rewarding, seeing your students set out into the world and make a difference.

...Ah. I see. How did that go?

[genki-ni-yuuki.livejournal.com]

I'm glad you've enjoyed it. I've been in Egypt mainly, taking the odd jobs in London.

Well, nothing has changed. We got in to an argument almost right away.

[onlyapparate]

Sounds exciting. Nothing too dangerous, I hope?

That's... really too bad. Yukimi's gotten much better lately, but... I'm afraid he's an old dog at heart.

I don't want to think about what I was doing ten years ago.

[onlyapparate]

Things between us sure were different back then, huh? For one thing, you were still involved with... you know.

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

That's an understatement. Yeah. I lived a pretty wild life.

[onlyapparate]

It certainly is. Just think about it, ten years ago was... God, that was before I'd even gotten over the incident with Miharu's parents. I'm glad we worked things out, by the way. Whenever I hear about the attacks and the murders going on, I shudder to think, you know? That could have been you...

[yukimi-mama.livejournal.com]

I wish we'd gone back twenty years, when I was in my prime. I think one major accident is enough for a lifetime, don't you?

[onlyapparate]

What, fresh out of Hogwarts? You were impossible back then. [ But it's a fond sort of annoying, I assure you, Yukimi. ] Yeah. I don't know what I'd do with myself if you got hurt.

[wingless-blade.livejournal.com]

...wait... what?

[onlyapparate]

It seems we've been taken back in time. This is certainly a new one, isn't it?

[wingless-blade.livejournal.com]

Oh, thank Merlin!

[He is SO happy right now.]

So Teddy should be safe...

[onlyapparate]

Yes! It's unlikely that any time will have passed in our original time when we return. At the very worst, we'll be gone for a few days, I can't imagine this being permanent.

2010...?

[onlyapparate]

That's right! The calendar in my office looks a bit worse for the wear, but it's always right.

[tigerinmyhand.livejournal.com]

...the baby doesn't even exist, then.

[onlyapparate]

Oh. Were you expecting a child, Miss Aisaka?

[tigerinmyhand.livejournal.com]

I have one...in 2020. But if it's really 2010, I wouldn't have had him yet. I'd still be in fucking Hogwarts.

[heavens-email.livejournal.com]

Ten years ago, eh? My my. How exciting. [can't you just feel the enthusiasm of a being that's two hundred years old.]

[onlyapparate]

Naturally, you wouldn't even bat an eye to that amount of time, would you?

[heavens-email.livejournal.com]

It's easy to get bored in that time. Frankly? I didn't even notice.

[onlyapparate]

Plenty of people have come and gone in that time, huh. Aside from thir relationships with each other, I suppose not a lot has changed.

[ People change and ghosts don't, huh? ]
