NEWGAME+ GO!

(◕‿◕✿)

Tom: First thing's first: we need galleons.

Rosie: Yeah. Can't exactly time travel with goblin money.

Tom: Unfortunately not. Can you sense any magical homes nearby?

Rosie: Plenty.

Tom: Rob what we can. Rather avoid hitting Gringotts without a wand.

Rosie: Definitely. -sigh- I wish we could have brought back actual items with us.

Tom: Hard enough bringing you when you didn't have a body in this timeline to begin with.

Rosie: Still stinks. But that's part of the challenge!

Tom: Mm-hmm. Galleons first. Then we'll set up our identities.

Rosie: Oh? Did you decide on them?

Tom: I'm going to reclaim my heirlooms then officially have my blood tested at Gringotts to declare me heir of Slytherin.

Rosie: Wow.

Tom: Mm-hmm.

Rosie: Then I guess... I'll take Riddle as my last name. :)

Tom: Rosie Riddle?

Rosie: You called?

Tom: I like the sound of it. :)

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: Okay. I got my wand, we have some energy—I think this is a good time for me to summon Iris.

Tom: Okay.

They weren't able to bring Iris along officially, but because she was Rosie's familiar her connection to Rosie would be strong enough that Rosie could bring her after they succeeded.

Rosie: Yay!

-Performs the ritual-

Iris: Mommy!

Rosie: MY BABY! -starts happy crying-

Tom: :)

Rosie&Tom back at Hogwarts in their new timeline

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie's (re)Sorting

Sorting Hat: Heeyyyy

Rosie: Heyyyyy

Sorting Hat: Are you going to insist on going back to Slytherin?

Rosie: Nah. Where do you think I should go?

Sorting Hat: If we must exclude Slytherin—you've plenty ambition to go back there—then someone with your love of learning should go to RAVENCLAW

Rosie: :)

(◕‿◕✿)

Tom's (re)Sorting -

Sorting Hat: Hello again!

Tom: Put me in anything other than Slytherin and I will set you on fire.

Sorting Hat: I believe that. SLYTHERIN!

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: -sees Tom working on homework in the library and heads over to his desk-

Rosie: Hey.

Tom: Hey.

Rosie: Is that seat taken? -points-

Tom: That's my lap.

Rosie: Did I stutter?

Tom:

Rosie:

Tom: Rosie, we're still in first year—

Rosie: Did. I. Stutter.

Tom: -starts to laugh- Rosie, no.

(◕‿◕✿)

Tom: -looks over at the Ravenclaw table-

Tom:

Tom:

Tom: What.

-Rosie is laid across the table with a group of eager Ravenclaw students around her, one of them even fanning her.-

Tom: What is—

Abraxas Malfoy: Something wrong, Tom?

Tom: What are the Ravenclaws doing?

Beldon Lestrange: Oh I heard about that. See the redhead?

Tom: I see her, yes.

Beldon Lestrange: Apparently she's the Queen of Ravenclaw.

Tom: -suddenly looks very tired-

Beldon Lestrange: Strange, huh?

Woodrow Nott: The claws have always been eccentric, but that seems too queer.

Abraxas Malfoy: Heh. I don't recognize the witch so probably some Muggleborn nobody. We should teach her a lesson, don't you think?

Tom:

Beldon: I concur. I'll find out her schedule.

Tom: Heh.

Woodrow, Abraxas & Beldon: ?

Tom: Good luck with that.

Abraxas Malfoy: You don't want to join us?

Tom: I've better things to do with my time. Do let me know it goes.

Abraxas Malfoy: But of course.

(◕‿◕✿)

The following day

Rosie: Hey dear.

Tom: Hello Rosie.

Rosie: :)

Tom: You look very happy.

Rosie: Some babeh snakes tried to kill me. Made me nostalgic.

Tom: Heh. Where are they now?

Rosie: Stripped and hogtied in a broom cupboard near the kitchens.

Tom: Stripped?

Rosie: Only did to them what they were going to do to me.

Tom: What.

Rosie: Since they're part of your group, I didn't hurt them too bad but if they try it again I'll break some bones.

Tom:

Rosie: -kisses Tom's cheek- Okay?

Tom: I assure you, they will never even think to do that again.

Rosie: :) Don't be too upset with them, dear. You know how they were raised. They need a delicate hand.

Tom: :) Of course, darling.

Rosie: -skips away-

Tom:

Tom:

Tom:

Tom: >:I

(◕‿◕✿)

-Tom goes off to find the hogtied snakes-

Tom: -opens the door-

Abraxas, Beldon, Woodrow: !

Tom: -takes off their gags-

Tom: :)

Abraxas Malfoy: Tom! You would not believe—

Tom: -silences him with a wave of his hand-

Tom: :)

Beldon Lestrange: Tom?

Tom: Which one of you came up with the idea to strip Miss Riddle?

Woodrow Nott: One of the older students told us to.

Tom: Which one?

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: -is taking a run around the lake with her Ravenclaw babehs-

Rosie: Even breaths, my little birdies.

Anna Abbot: -gasping for air- Why... why... why...

Rosie: It'll be easier the more we do it!

Celestine Greengrass: PLEASE NO.

Rosie: Are you rejecting my orders?

Ravenclaws: -vigorously shaking their heads no-

Rosie: :) What sweet little birdies I have. After today's run we'll do another chemistry experiment.

Ravenclaws: :D!

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: -visits the Slytherin table- Hello snakes.

Abraxas Malfoy: -flinches- Good day, Miss Riddle.

Tom: Hello, Miss Riddle.

Rosie: Haven't seen you boys in a while. Didn't you three say something about me never being alone again? :)

Beldon Lestrange: We—er—we—er—

Woodrow Nott: We decided you were perfectly capable of escorting yourself around Hogwarts.

Rosie: My, how kind. I actually came over here because I heard a little rumor.

Tom: What kind of rumor?

Rosie: That one of your older students insisted on withdrawing from Hogwarts yesterday!

Beldon Lestrange: Er...yes. They had to because... er...

Abraxas Malfoy: ... Family emergency.

Rosie: My oh my.

Tom: :)

Rosie: Well then I guess it couldn't be helped. Family is terribly important, after all.

Tom: I couldn't agree more.

(◕‿◕✿)

Celestine Greengrass: Rosie!

Rosie: Yes, dove?

Celestine Greengrass: Would it be possible for a Gryffindor to join our morning runs? I found a very lovely young witch sitting alone in the library. Her own housemates are treating her rather poorly.

Rosie: Of course she can join us.

Celestine Greengrass: I knew you'd say that. Would you like for me to introduce you two?

Rosie: Naturally. Who is she?

Celestine Greengrass: Ifa Shafiq.

Rosie: Sounds like a lovely young lady. :)

Celestine Greengrass: -beams- Then she is just like you!

Rosie: -immediately hugs her-

Celestine Greengrass: :D! You are so affectionate with me, Rosie. I love it.

Rosie: I can't help you. You're a spitting image of—well. You're adorable.

Celestine Greengrass: :D

(◕‿◕✿)

A couple years later

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: Oh wow, so they're gonna teach us the Patronus charm this year, huh?

Tom: Yep.

Rosie: You gonna actually learn it this time around?

Tom: Yeah, I think I can.

Rosie: That's great! Gosh, I can't wait to graduate. I'll go find Booboo and dementor-nap him.

Tom: Please... don't.

Rosie: How else am I supposed to befriend him again?"

Tom: Or you could not?

Rosie: Don't be absurd. I love my Booboo.

Tom: -sighs- I know.

(◕‿◕✿)

Tom: -is about to cast his first corporeal Patronus-

Tom: -casts his first corporeal Patronus-

Tom: -has a legendary Runespoor Patronus-

Tom: :)

Tom's Runespoor Patronus: -starts morphing-

Tom: :)?

Tom's Runespoor Patronus: -continues to morph and starts shining brighter-

Tom: :)???

Tom's Patronus: -is now a fox-

Tom:

Tom's Patronus: :)

Tom: :I

Tom's Patronus: :)

Tom: :I

Tom's Patronus: :)

Tom: Fuck.

(◕‿◕✿)

Later

Rosie: Hey Tom! Did you find out what your Patronus is?

Tom: It was a legendary snake.

Rosie: Wow! That's so—wait was?

Tom: :I

Rosie: :)?

Tom: I hate you.

Rosie: :)? I love you?

Tom: So much.

Rosie: :)???

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: Holy friggin hell is there anything you can't do?

Tom: -pauses for a moment to think- I—I cannot draw.

Rosie: Really?

Tom: ... Yes.

Rosie: Really?

Tom: -with more confidence- Yes.

Rosie: Okay. :)

(◕‿◕✿)

About a month later...

Rosie: Whatchu got there?

Tom: Oh, one of the younger students asked me to redraw his sketch of the griffin from class earlier.

Rosie: Wow, can I see?

Tom: Sure.

Rosie: yOU FUCKING LIAR.

Tom: ?????

Rosie: YOU SAID YOU COULD NOT DRAW!

Tom: Oh yeah.

Rosie: YOU LIAR.

Tom: :)

Rosie: WHY ARE YOU SO PERFECT? I HATE YOU!

Tom: :)

Rosie: ALSDKJFALDFJLASDFKJ STOP SMILING YOU BASTARD!

Tom: :d

Rosie: THAT FACE WILL NOT WORK ON ME, BOY. FUCKING HELL, I'M OUTTA HERE.

Tom: ... :)

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: :I

Tom: What's wrong?

Rosie: You know how I started up my cult in Germany for my future werewolf army?

Tom: Cult is a strong word.

Rosie: It's an accurate word.

Rosie hadn't intended for her cult to grow so large. To prevent the World War II and Holocaust she knew, she had taken an active role in rebuilding Germany. While she wasn't so arrogant as to believe she could completely stop the war—there were a lot of factors that played into it—she could at least guarantee there wouldn't be a religious genocide in Germany. She already killed Hitler and pretty much anyone associated with him.

During that summer in Germany she found some werewolves. She had offered them her cure, and they had... well. They had become real big fans of hers, to put it lightly. Tom called them zealous, and she had a hard time refuting it. They were eager beavers about sharing it, too. She made it very clear to not infect those unwanted, but as it turned out a lot of people wanted it.

She had to set up an Unbreakable Contract for all her worgens to sign so they wouldn't spill the beans about her cure before she was ready.

But... golly gosh they were... they were passionate about spreading it.

She literally had an entire city of worgens within two months. Two. Months.

Tom: -sighs- Yes, I know about Cult of Fluff. What about it?

Rosie: The reconstruction of Germany after WWI is taking a bigger hit from my finances than I anticipated.

Tom: You're literally rebuilding a country and turning all your supporters into worgens. Did you think it would be cheap?

Rosie: :I

Tom: :I

Rosie: Not cheap... -sighs- I already have a lot of homework to do but I think I need to do some early inventions.

Tom: Which inventions?

Rosie: I was thinking about starting up a Muggle company to invent better microwaves, fridges, ovens... and solar power.

Tom: That's pretty early, Rosie.

Rosie: I need a lot more money than I anticipated, Tom.

Tom: Everything else but solar power. We can repair the pollution later.

Rosie: Er...

Tom: ... You already started up a plant, didn't you?

Rosie: I want clean air for my lovely fluffy babehs. They're so adorable.

Tom: I won't sabotage you if you give me thirty percent.

Rosie: Twenty five.

Tom: Thirty two.

Rosie: That's backwards!

Tom: Thirty five.

Rosie: ARGH! FINE!

Tom: :)

Rosie: You're such a jerk.

Tom: A jerk who you adore.

Rosie: Yes. :)

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: Hey Tom.

Tom: What do you want?

Rosie: Why do you think I want something?

Tom: You only use that tone when you want something.

Rosie: Heh... okay, yeah I do.

Tom: What do you want?

Rosie: Remember my original sixth year?

Tom: Uh-huh?

Rosie: Remember that Christmas gift you got me? :)

Tom:

Rosie: :)

Tom:

Rosie: :)

Tom: No.

Rosie: Please?

Tom: No. We almost got caught.

Rosie: I know. :)

Tom: No.

Rosie: Please? It can be my birthday present.

Tom: :I

Rosie: :)

Tom: :I

Rosie: :)

Tom: Fine. We better not get caught.

Rosie: ... What if I want us to get caught?

Tom: I KNEW YOU WERE BEING LOUD ON PURPOSE! You exhibitionist!

Rosie: Yeah. :)

Tom: NO.

Rosie: Please?

Tom: We need a safe word.

Rosie: D:

Tom: I'm using the safe word now.

Rosie: D:

Tom: I'm leaving. Bye. >:I

Rosie: D:

(◕‿◕✿)

Later

Tom: >:I

Rosie: Hello my love. :)

Tom: >:I

Rosie: Still mad at me?

Tom: >:I Get your bloody arse in the cupboard by Charms.

Rosie: :D!

Tom: >:I

Rosie: Woo-hoo! Wait—isn't there supposed to be a class starting soon?

Tom: >:I Yes.

Rosie: :o

Rosie: :O!

Rosie: :D!!

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: :)

Tom: Happy?

Rosie: Yep!

Tom: Good. Now I'm going to go shower.

Rosie: Okey dokey~

Tom: -leaves and then when Rosie has left, returns-

Tom: -undos all the silencing charms on the cupboard he had secretly placed before-

Tom:

Tom:

Tom: >:)

Tom: And she'll never know otherwise.

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: Hey Tom?

Tom: Mn?

Rosie: Wanna do the Triwizard tournament with me?

Tom: What?

Rosie: Wanna pressure some of our political allies to start it up in our seventh year? Graduate out with a bang?

Tom: But we have N.E.W.T.s.

Rosie: You actually need to study for them?

Tom: No.

Rosie: Then what's the issue?

Tom: Only one of us would compete.

Rosie: Nah. We'll tell them to make it a tag team! Two champions for every school.

Tom: Durstramg isn't even rebuilt after the last war.

Rosie: Nope, but we could use the school in Germany I built!

Tom: >:I You just want an excuse to cuddle with your worgens at school.

Rosie: Yes. :)

Tom:

Rosie: :)

Tom:

Rosie: :)

Tom: You're very fortunate I enable you so often.

Rosie: Thank you for enabling me.

Tom: You're welcome.

(◕‿◕✿)

Tom: Praise me.

Rosie: You're amazing.

Tom: More.

Rosie: You are an incredibly handsome genius.

Tom: More.

Rosie: -takes a deep breath-

Rosie: Tom, you are the single most brilliant wizard to have ever graced the magical community. Merlin pales in your mastery of magic. Your wit and cunning is beyond approach, Slytherin himself would be at a loss with how to handle you. Nothing, and no one could hold a candle to your beauty. Any who stare into your eyes long enough get lost in their magnificence. I am the luckiest witch in the world to be blessed by your presence at this very moment in time.

Tom: :)

Rosie: So what am I praising you for?

Tom: I have successfully devised a ritual for us to stop aging.

Rosie: God, I am so jealous of your mind.

Tom: :)

Rosie: Congratulations, my love.

Tom: :) Praise me more.

Rosie: -giggles- Okay, okay.

(◕‿◕✿)

Someone asks about jealousy:

Tom: Jealousy implies insecurity, and I already know I'm the best option you'll ever find.

Rosie: This is true.

Tom: And you?

Rosie: Oh, totally. All the time. I wish I had my own fan club and like half of your genius.

Tom: Not of me, for me. Do you get jealous for me?

Rosie: Nah. You're not the type to go astray. -kisses cheek-

Tom: :) Thank you for your trust in me.

Rosie: Plus now that I know how to time travel, if you ever left me, I'd just go back in time and bang Merlin and Morgana. Preferably at the same time.

Tom:

Rosie: :)

Tom:

Rosie: :)

Tom: Why are you like this?

Alternative for memes

Tom: I don't get jealous.

-Someone whistles at Rosie-

Tom: -raises a wand- I get even.

(◕‿◕✿)

Rosie: Professor Dumbledore!

Dumbledore: Good day, Miss Riddle.

Rosie: C'mooon. Call me Rosie! You know you're my favorite professor.

Dumbledore: :) Be that as it may, Miss Riddle, it would be best to remain professional at
