Percy, how much do you know about the future? I need to understand some things. None of this makes sense to me. I'm a little bit overwhelmed.

Teddy, I heard that you're... well, not a baby anymore. Will you come see me? I think I need to see for myself. I feel like I was just holding you two days ago.

I don't think I want to know anything about my future, but I'm curious. Everything is just so odd here. I'm not sure how I feel about any of it yet. I'm not sure I really want to see those genealogies. I know I have a family in the future, but I can't believe it. I'm not sure I feel comfortable with it all.

	Let me just say.... some things are better left a surprise. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I know, but it can't all be bad, right? I mean, we won the war. There's got to be some good in that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Yes, but at such a cost.... (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's kind of why I said I'm not sure that I want to know. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I don't think we know when and if we go back, so at least that's the bright side. Although I think finding out from someone you know is much better than just having that bomb dropped on you by people you don't. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I asked Percy. I'm not sure how keen he is on talking to me, but he's the most likely to be able to help. I'm just not sure if I can handle the bad news. How did you deal with finding out you lose Dora and Uncle Ted? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I've met him. He seems like he has a good head on his shoulders.

I moped. I won't lie. I moped for a little while, but then I realized that I couldn't mope here. I'm going to appreciate my time with them more now. I've met Tonks, and she's such an amazing person. I can't wait to actually meet her in two years. And it's not just them two, it's Remus, and Sirius, and and even Bellatrix. And finding out I'm on my own with Teddy... but it seems things turn out all right in the end.

	I'm sorry. I hope I'm around to help out with Teddy. I held him, it was just two days before I ended up here. He was so tiny. But I don't know what happens to me. I don't think I want to know. I'm afraid. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm sure you'll be fine, Hestia. I'm also sure you live long enough to get a scolding from your Aunt Nessa. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	~~Oh! I didn't tell you! Apparently no one told you. I'm sorry, but~~ Aunt Nessa died a couple years ago. It was cancer. You were there. I'm glad you were there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Oh... I'm sorry to hear that... She was an amazing friend, even when I'm from. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Private petite_belle 2009-01-22 07:35 pm UTC (link)
	She was just amazing. She raised me. My dad (I don't know if he's born yet in your time) died when I was little. It was a blow when she died. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I know a bit about the future. More than someone my age should, I daresay. What can I clear up for you, Hestia? (Reply to this) (Thread)

I just, feel uncomfortable talking to anyone else. Mostly because they're from the same time as me and are a lot younger. And because you're the brainy one. I feel like you can help me understand.

I'm just not sure about this whole ship thing. And about the future. Do I want to know what happens? Is it a good idea? And is that even relevant? Am I going to find out anyway? Should I be prepared and get the information ahead of time in a way that I'm more comfortable with rather than it being dropped on me by surprise?

I'm sorry. I know this is a lot. I don't mean to be a pain, I'm just unsure about all this. I don't know who to talk to really.

	I'll see what I can do, of course. Whether or not you want to know what happens, I often find that you'll end up figuring it out anyhow. Especially because there are so many children from our futures running around here. Something will slip eventually, whether you want it to or not. I suggest, pardon the pun, dipping a toe into the water. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petite_belle 2009-01-23 09:19 pm UTC (link)
	How far in the future are you from? Can you maybe tell me some things? Prepare me, I guess? Lifeguard this whole dipping a toe in the water thing? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2009-01-23 09:27 pm UTC (link)
	I'm from 2002. I can try, certainly. For instance, when you worry about about the Weasley's hating you? Well, I'd say they get over that shortly after you get back together with Charlie. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petite_belle 2009-01-23 09:32 pm UTC (link)
	Charlie and I get back together? I don't know how I feel about that. When does it happen? And you're sure everything okay with us? I guess that means Charlie is okay after the battle. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2009-01-23 10:50 pm UTC (link)
	Charlie is fine after the battle, yes. And yes, you do. I'm not exact on the times -- it's been a while, and also... well. Things here make it hard to remember dates. I'm sorry, I'm usually more observant. I would guess it was pretty soon after the battle. So... 97 or 98. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petite_belle 2009-01-23 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	Right after the battle? So right after I ended up here? Do you know anything else about my future? I mean, how far do you know? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2009-01-23 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	I know as far as my time. Plus a little more, I'd wager. People talk, after all. Depends how much you want to know. But I will say I was around for the birth of your daughter Isabella in 1999. She's charming, really. Well behaved. ~~Although she does have an affinity for tugging my glasses off.~~ (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petite_belle 2009-01-23 11:19 pm UTC (link)
	I have a daughter? Charlie and I have a daughter? In 1999? So she's 3 in your time? Where do we live? Does Charlie quit at the reserve? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2009-01-23 11:36 pm UTC (link)
	Yes, and also yes. She is three in my time. She also seems aware of how charming most people fine 3 year olds. You live in Romania. But visit for dinner fairly often. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petite_belle 2009-01-23 11:39 pm UTC (link)
	I can't believe I have a daughter with Charlie. I can't believe we got married. ~~Even after all I did to him.~~ He still works with dragons? Even though we have a daughter? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2009-01-23 11:47 pm UTC (link)
	I suppose it must be strange to hear. But hopefully not unpleasant. Yes. I'm sure you've discussed that yourselves. I will say I never involved myself in those affairs. It's much more to do with my mother. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petite_belle 2009-01-23 11:58 pm UTC (link)
	No, it's not unpleasant. But yes it is strange. I never thought we'd get back together. I never thought he'd forgive me. I can't imagine your mother is happy about Charlie and I being back together. She was so mad at me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2009-01-24 12:13 am UTC (link)
	Oh, no. My mother is always happy to see one of her children married off. She was very happy. I think she cried for a week. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petite_belle 2009-01-24 12:25 am UTC (link)
	She wouldn't even talk to me during Order meetings or anything like that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2009-01-28 12:14 am UTC (link)
	She's quick to please on certain topics, of course. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	petite_belle 2009-01-28 12:02 pm UTC (link)
	I guess. You're sure she's okay with me now? Are you? Is everyone? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	analretentive 2009-01-30 01:25 am UTC (link)
	From what I know, yes. I am. I think everyone else is... (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Why aren't you comfortable with it? Private to Hest I know I'm not your Dora, but I'm still your Dora yanno? Best mates and all of that. I hope I'm not part of the problem, is all. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Private to Dora petite_belle 2009-01-22 01:44 pm UTC (link)
	No, it's not you. It's just all this stuff about the future. I don't know if I'm ready to know how it ends. I'm already upset that I'm going to lose you and Uncle Ted. I don't want to know who else I have to lose. (Reply to this) (Parent)
