Harmony had been walking to her room, exhausted after another round of tests. She was shaking, but only because she was cold. The sleeveless blue dress she was wearing didn't do much for warmth. So the first thing that she noticed about the new place that it was warm. The second thing she noticed though, was that she was not in her room. She was not surrounded by her friends, or her doctors. Immediately she backed away, finding a wall. She didn't know how many there were, but immediately she was on defensive; her eyes were black, though the fear still showed somehow, and she pressed herself flat against the wall to make herself smaller and out of the way, and to ensure no one would attack her from behind. "Who are you?" The first thing she asked was shaky, quiet, but she straightened up slightly and asked a little more forcefully, "Where am I?" |

"I keep your life interesting at any rate," Dante told her, kissing Harm's check afterward. Of course he would have commented about skating but someone appeared in the living room. At first he wasn't sure what to say except sit there shocked. Was it so bad if he wondered if Ang had managed to actually poof people now and not material items? He wasn't sure how she would or could, and the fact the kid kind of looked like him. That was odd. When the kid responded to Dante's name, he was even more thrown off. Okay, there was no way. "He might be me?" He wasn't really sure. Then, however, someone else showed up and he wasn't sure what to make of the situation. The poor kid looked absolutely terrified though. "Uh, Harm, any ideas?" |

Wow he expected them to be shocked but someone should have taught them how staring was exceptionally rude. When he heard his name though, "How do you know who I am?" That was odd. Maybe David knew these people or something and this was some form of payback just to scare him for fun. It sounded like something his father would do. When someone else showed up, he took a step aside and then frowned as he watched her back up to the wall. Holding up his hands he took a step toward her as he ignored the other two for a moment. "Hey, are you okay? Look, just chill okay? I don't know how I got here either so let's just stick together. I promise I'm not dangerous." |

Harm had smiled when Dante kissed her cheek, but her expression was only one of pure shock. That poor living room had seen so many random, shocking things, but never before had a kid that looked like her husband shown up. Dante spoke what she was thinking, and she got up abruptly, taking both of the twins into her arms. She'd gotten good at that, but they were asleep and she didn't want them to be in the way of whatever this was. So she went upstairs to put them in their cradles. And promptly ran back down. Before she reached the last step though, she saw something that she should have never, ever been able to see outside of her memories. She remembered that blue dress so well...in return for doing extra testing, she got a piece of normal clothing. Not the white shirts and white pants, but real clothes, with color. When she got that dress she didn't take it off until it was so worn out she couldn't wear it any longer. Her hands flew to her mouth, her eyes widened. "It is you, Dante, because that's me." She grabbed his forearm, giving it a tiny shake as she asked, "I am seeing this right? This is real?" |

Harmony turned her black gaze on the boy walking towards her, but her expression melted into one of pure relief when she heard his words. Immediately she ran over to him and took his hand, nearly hiding behind him from the two adults in the room. She'd seen babies, but for all she knew they were testing on them as well. It was horrible, but she knew. And she only trusted her doctor, she didn't like anyone else. "You're like me?" She asked, breathless in her fear, relaxing a fraction, though her eyes didn't change back. He seemed easy-going enough in the situation, but she didn't trust any of them to take that warning away. "Why are we here? Where even are we? What's going on? What section are you from? Did they randomly select us?" Well, okay, she didn't expect him to know the answers, but they were spilling from her lips before she could think about it logically. |

Dante was slightly surprised at seeing himself be so...well talkative for one and confident for another if that was the right word. At least he was taking care of the other one who showed up. He handed Devon to Harm and let her take them upstairs, and when she returned her was startled by what she said. "No no, I'm seeing this too." That was Harm then? She looked so...afraid. It was actually saddening to see her like that when nowadays he tried at everything to keep Harm happy. "Look, we don't have any idea how you got here or why. Either of you. But I think you're us just from when we were little." |

Dante wasn't sure what to make of the situation nor the girl. When she came running over and took his hand only to all but duck behind him, he simply squeezed her hand reassuringly and blocked her from the two older people in the room as best he could. It was instinctual to try and protect her. Just like he protected Ella. "Like you? Section? No no I don't think I came from where you were. See I was at school, Hogwarts, hiding out in a classroom when I randomly showed up here. What about you?" As a after thought, "I'm Dante." Hearing the older ones talk though he looked in their direction a bit confused. They were them? That made no sense. Yeah the guy looked like him and maybe the girl did too if he actually took a second to look, but that wasn't possible. "Ha ha, very funny. Now knock it off. You're scaring her." Which Dante did not appreciate one bit. |

Harm was glad that he saw it too because honestly it just looked incredibly crazy. Late night hallucinations, much? No, but she could see that their selves looked really...well, real. And sounded and acted real too. Dante's little self was being incredibly cute, but she knew how violent she could get when she was scared. It took years for her to get the control she had over her bloodlust, and not reacting as her vampire. At whatever age she was then, she clearly didn't have it. That came with time after the ministry let her go. "Be careful, she bites." Harm warned Dante- er, little Dante. "It's 2009. If you're from 2009 then someone's just playing a joke on us but..." |

Harmony was disappointed when she heard that the boy wasn't from where she was. And even more? He was from Hogwarts. Which meant he was human; something she should have picked up the moment she was next to him. "Oh." She just said softly. "I'm from the Ministry, walking back to my bed. I'm Harmony." But he was young, her age, and he was protecting her from the other people. And he didn't know why or how he'd gotten their either, so for the moment, she decided to trust him. They were staring at her and it was really freaking her out. They were also saying that they were herself and Dante in the future, and that it was 2009. 2009? No...it was 2000. She just shook her head a little bit, but wasn't comfortable enough to talk back. |

This was all...so weird. And here he thought weird stopped after being swapped into someone else. He was glad at least his younger self was attempting to make little Harm feel better. He obviously couldn't do much about that. Hearing the 'she bites' comment however he glanced at Harm a second before looking at the younger two. "This is...bizarre." It was the only thing he could think to say. He was looking at him at...age fifteen? He hadn't changed all that much. |

She bites? Well wasn't that intriguing. He even looked at the girl and didn't really buy it. She looked harmless actually. As for 2009? "It's 2000 actually," he corrected. "You're off by a few years." It wasn't a bad year either. He didn't like school though that was for sure. It wasn't the classes because he loved those, it was the not being home with his siblings. Glancing at little Harm then, "The Ministry? You live at the Ministry?" |

Harm felt better that she wasn't completely crazy when Dante spoke out loud her thoughts on what year it was. He was from her year. Maybe the adult's theory would have made more sense - since they seemed to be surprised too - if he was from a different year than she. But he wasn't focusing on them anymore, and she jumped, just a little bit, when he turned back to look at her. She was afraid that if he saw her face clearly, then he would be scared too, and then she wouldn't have anyone around her. No matter how hard she tried though, she couldn't 'turn it off' or 'calm it down'. She could feel it, struggling to take over and protect her. Just the fact that Dante was doing it for her helped a little, but she was still nervous. "I..." They didn't know anything? She couldn't believe that, it just seemed to weird. "Yes. They need...they want to know more about...my problem." The woman made it clear she knew though, and she couldn't help herself, she whimpered. "I wono't bite you just please don't let them hurt me." |

Harm shook her head when Dante said that it was 2000, and picked up a newspaper off their coffee table, holding it out to him. He could come to her though; she didn't want to force him if he didn't want to see it. She was a little more worried about her younger self though. Immediate, passionate responses were her normal back then, and it often got her in trouble. And hurt the people around her. It seemed like little Dante was ignoring the obvious. "We aren't going to hurt you. Your name is Harmony Lopiparo and you took it from the mom who took care of you from the time you were four until you were twelve. You know no one knows that, so stop freaking out and just believe me when I say I'm you in the future. " Her grip on Dante's arm tightened; she wasn't used to thinking of it, and she didn't know if it changed history if her little self did anything. |

"Hey, look, no one's going to hurt you," Dante told the younger Harm. His younger self was apparently trying to reassure her too, but naturally he had went to do the same. It was actually sad to see Harm that upset and afraid like that. He was actually glad when the Harm standing beside him tightened her hold on his arm, because it reassured him she was there. She was safe. "Did you either of you use a time-turner maybe? Did a spell by accident?" Dante figured he could have had he been doing some prank at the time. It was like him to read first and check later which hadn't ever worked out so well. His younger self though shook his head as neither of those were what had occurred as it seemed. At least for himself. He got that his younger self was trying to keep younger Harm from being scared, but Dante still glanced at Harm a moment reassuringly before he got his arm out of her grip and walked over to the two younger one's. It was odd seeing himself like that. He hadn't changed much though, and as much as he wanted to tell his younger self the dozen or so things he should change, Dante didn't want to. If anything at all changed he would probably wouldn't be there right now. Sam would no doubt be alive and he'd be with her. As appealing at that life had sounded before, it didn't anymore. Crouching in front of the younger two to better be at their height, he tried to reassure...well himself, that he wasn't going to hurt the younger Harmony. At least he himself was being calm. Needed less explanation that way. "You can trust us alright? We're going to figure out how you both got here and then we'll see what we need to do beyond that." He also didn't want either himself or Harm just standing there. To him it made it feel like even more...well that they were frightened. Dante extended his hand just a little as he kept in mind Harm's warning, but he didn't think her younger self would hurt him. |

It didn't matter what the older man was saying. She had heard way too many times that she was safe and she was going to be okay only to wake up in her room after blacking out or something and feeling sore or exhausted or finding out that it was days later. When he asked about time-turners and spells, Harm just shook her head. She was trying to figure out how to do wandless magic because they wouldn't let her have a wand, but she was wildly unsuccessful as of yet. So no, she hadn't done anything to get there. You can trust us...no. She didn't believe that. When he reached out a hand to her, Harm simply reacted. She bit him, hard, and then then retreated back into the corner, resisting the urge to actually eat from him. That wasn't what she had been trying to do, of course, and it was only that reason that kept her against that wall once again. |

Harm shook her head at Dante when he went over there, and tried to tell him no. It was too late before she could really stop him yet though, and so Hamr was just standing there, wincing as she watched her little self launch at him. "Dante don't!" Shit. It had been months since she'd drunken a fair amount of blood, and even then it wasn't human. So the smell that had instantly saturated the room, that warm, human metallic smell...She groaned. "I felt easily caged." She muttered, covering her nose and mouth. |

Dante actually thought that maybe he'd actually get some sort of answer out of little Harm. He thought she seemed calm enough. Well he was wrong. He was downright shocked when she actually came at him like she did and then to bite him? Easily he had lost his balance only to fall back, and he had already retracted his hand back to hold against his chest. Well. Damn. "You bit me," he said incredulously. He hadn't thought she actually would. Glancing back at Harm he felt stupid for not thinking about just the consequence of getting himself into that situation, but Harm too. "I'm sorry." As Dante said it he was already well on his way out of the room to find something to wrap around his hand. Maybe if he did that it would help. Actually if he could find his wand that would help too but it was hard to say where that had gotten to. Settling with a dish towel he wrapped it around his hand tightly. Once he got past the whole stinging sensation he could put it out of mind. When he walked back into the room he respectively kept a little distance between himself and Harm just in case wrapping up his hand wasn't enough. He sure wasn't going near little Harm though. "I'm fine." |

Dante was a bit more on guard as his older self came toward him and Harm. He wouldn't consider himself a threat, but he still wasn't sure he bought the whole being in the future crap. He still kept a wary eye on the two, but when Harm bit his older self he couldn't help it as he hit his forehead with his hand. "Now look what you did." He turned to see Harm going back to stand against the wall and he waked over a bit slower. "I'll apologize for myself. Apparently in the future I lack common sense," he told her. "Don't feel bad. I deserved it." Did he care he was insulting himself practically? Not really. "Here's how we'll do this. We're going to sit right here-" Dante put a hand on the wall as he then guided himself to the floor. "-and keep a good distance between us and them if they want to ask us anything. We'll just wait for help." Glancing at her he smiled as a attempt to make her feel better. "Well come on, sit down." He patted the space next to himself then. |

It helped a little as Dante left the room, but she could tell her little self was still tasting it, and so she kept a sharp eye on Dante's little self. He, surprisingly enough, seemed well equipped to deal with her. He was just being patient and letting her come to him, and it impressed her. When Dante came back in with a dish rag around his hand though, Harm shook her head, closed her mouth, and went over to him. Unless the rag was saturated in pure bleach, that wouldn't help much, and more than that, he was letting that small amount of venom spread. "Trust me?" She asked, raising his hand to her lips. They had the potion somewhere, but she didn't want him to be in unnecessary pain when the venom hit his organs. Just minutes later she was putting it back down, muttering forcefully, "Episkey" and then said, "Go wash your hands and throw the towel in the sink with some bleach." And then she just forced herself to walk away and sat down on the couch, her attention on the kids. |
