SCENARIOS
01) One In A Million | The other person is the only reason you agreed to play this game and now you have them right where you've hoped for all night! Get it, tiger.

02) Not My Type | This is hella awkward. Is it their voice? Attitude? Appearance? You just don't want those lips anywhere near yours. Seven Minutes In Heaven, more like Seven Minutes Of Nope.

03) Seventy Minutes | You're so involved in smooching that neither of you notices the door has been locked and everyone else has left the room! Not until it's too late.

04) Unrequited | Tell them how you feel (so many! emotions!!). Even if you're a little too enthusiastic and your love is unrequited you still have seven minutes of smooching to do, as per game rules. You can't fail!

05) Seconds and Thirds | Some self-proclaimed funny man outside upped the stakes and now a third party has been shoved inside with the two of you. Make the most of it! (Three-way threads ahoy!)

06) Taken | One of you has a significant other and your seven minutes are spent smooching anyway. Oops.

07) Strangers in the Hangers | Hello there, Good Looking. Where has this hottie been all night? Who cares, now they're yours!

08) Long Lost Smooches | You haven't seen them in forever and didn't know they were going to be here tonight. Resolve that UST!

09) Party Pooper | One of those involved is upset because of #PartyShit and now they're trapped in a closet after getting dragged into playing a game they tried to avoid. Cheer them up? With kisses? Good plan.

10) Get A Room | Your seven minutes are up but neither of you wants to stop. Relocate to a spare room!

Realizing that there were certain parts of the castle that knew something had changed, made Harry wonder if there were other... beings and creatures who knew. Such as Kreacher and Dobby. If they knew, then perhaps they could call them and have their assistance sooner rather than later.

He nodded in agreement. "Agreed. When we meet, we should probably determine the biggest things to tackle first... at least until Christmas. Goblins, the basilisk, making more friends with our classmates... getting rid of Tom before the end of the year..." the number of things they wanted to do were simply endless. But they still had to pretend to be mentally eleven/twelve years old. "Hopefully free Padfoot sooner rather than later..."

Harry considered the thought and hummed thoughtfully. "I think so. We've become friends. He said he'll join our... inter-house study group so long as I promised there weren't be any "annoying weasels" in attendance." He smirked in amusement at her teasing. "You think? Well, who could blame him?" His tone was completely teasing though as he said it and knowing that there was probably a time all those years ago that he had a tiny crush on the blonde. He was trying hard to not consider all of his classmates, outside of Hermione, as children when he himself was also a child all things considered.

"You think? I believe that should be our ultimate goal. Become Head Boy and Head Girl and then completely run Hogwarts. I believe Hogwarts would agree," he mused, his voice soft. He could feel a warmth come from those words and chuckled. "Yeah, I think she agrees."

Harry looked at her seriously and cupped her cheek gently. "There is absolutely no one else I would rather be in this with other than you, 'Mione."

Doing magic to cast them back into the past of their lives was easy. Making supernatural beings much more connected to the supernatural than the witches and wizards forget the reality around them is a lot harder.

"We need to make a timeline of what we have to stop and what we need to do so the war never happens. We'll need the others to help." She pauses and then adds. "We start with Luna. She will absolutely believe us. Ginny may need to be next," she says, thinking about how they can do this. "Then we figure out who else can help us. But first?" She knows he's right and she knows how to do it. "We get ourselves a rat and go to the Ministry. Because we start by using veritas serum and proving that Sirius is innocent that Voldemort is out there," she says, her voice a harsh whisper.

She laughs at that though, grinning at him. "Good, because I don't want them around either," she points out, knowing they're still working on dodging him but they know why. "Oh I can't blame him at all," she says with a smug look. "Shame for him that you're mine," she points out, then ducks her head, blushing. "I mean, we're dating," she says, though they haven't discussed it but it's how she feels. They're dating. In their time. In this one. Either way, they're together."

She nods. "If we want to make this place better, if we want to make life better for all children with magical abilities, then we need to run this place," she says. "Whether literally as headmaster and headmistress, or be in charge of who works here and who sees over this. Either way, we have to be in charge here to make the next generations better and get rid of all of this hatred and misinformation for all the children," she says.

Leaning in, she kisses him tenderly. "We'll fix it all, together."

As soon as the house elves came to mind, Harry considered whether the Goblins would know. He was sure that as soon as they visited the bank, they'd know. Harry was starting to consider just how many allies they'd have this time around. Probably more than they even realized.

He nodded. "Agreed," he said and smiled at the thought of Luna. "We should absolutely start with Luna," he paused before continuing, "the question becomes, do we wait until closer to next August before she comes to Hogwarts?" The same went with Ginny. Both girls were a year under them. His mouth quirked up slowly. "Oh I'm looking forward to that. I don't suppose that brilliant mind of yours remembers the password to the Gryffindor dorms, does it?" If they could expedite the process, that would save a ton of trouble for them.

"I am yours," he agreed with a smile, loving the blush that crossed Hermione's cheeks. "And you're mine." Harry had no trouble with that at all and it was exactly how he saw them as well - dating.

Harry nodded. "Agreed. This place and perhaps start when they're younger with some sort of primary school and a foundation or orphanage (though he hated that term) to help children before they enter school." He smiled and returned her kiss, bringing her in for a tight hug. "We will fix it all together," he agreed and kissed her head. "Come on, we need to return to the party or make our excuses to head to your Common Room."

If she couldn't screw with the mind of the supernatural beings, then they're safe. They'll have so many more on their side, others that will help them, and who will know that at very least something is wrong. They may even know exactly what is wrong. They're not in this alone, and they've got a chance to set things right and quickly.

Hermione is so used to having the others around, to them being part of their life and key players in how much things were changing as the war came that she hadn't even thought about that.

"Luna before," she says softly. "Ginny we likely won't be able to touch before then," he says softly. She gives him a look though. "I can get us into the dorms. Yeah. We'll need a cage with magic to keep that damn bastard in, or we'll lose him. He's wily. You also need to get the map from the twins," she points out. "If he realizes we're on to him, he'll run."

She clung to Harry, knowing they had so much to do but there's hope. They might actually win this if they're careful. She took his hand and headed for the party. "We're going to make it right. Let's make excuses and go start working on the spell for the cage and working things out."

Harry nodded in agreement. "Maybe we'll send her a letter and a present at Yule," he said, thinking of Luna and what she might enjoy getting from two... future friends. "It's likely best we don't try to get in touch with Ginny before she comes to Hogwarts." They'd find a way of making sure they could talk openly with the youngest Weasley. Knowing what he knows that she had been just as manipulated as they were, he was absolutely for making sure she had a better go of it this time around.

His mouth quirked up. "I think I can handle getting the map," he said, having a few ideas to get him started.

They could win this but only if they were careful and strategic with their planning. He walked with her to the party and gave the others a lopsided grin.

"Bout time you both came back to the party. Thought you might be gettin' bored of us," one of the third year Ravenclaw's teased them with a laugh.

"Luna would accept that and love it. She would just understand that we found her and sent her gifts and I think that would be perfect." Luna would positively love it she thinks. Her whimsical nature would utterly accept that they just wanted to be friends with her and then would listen when they told her the truth. She would listen and be there for them. Hermione is sure of that.

Taking his hand, wandering back to the party with Harry and she gives a laugh at that. "Not bored," she assures them. "Not ever. Just considering some studies I need to do," she says. When some others mock that, she gives them a look. "You're talking about me. You think that's a euphemism?"

Some others laughed at that, nodding and believing it was definitely studies.

"Doesn't mean they weren't making out out in the hall."

"Oh well, that we were doing," she says, smirking as she heads them for the door. "But now it's time for studies."
