Marauders In Time part 2

The scenery couldn't be anymore different. For one, the city of London wasn't filled with fear, and neither was the rest of England, but rather everyone was cheerful and free. The sky was as clear as it could ever be and people were not whispering about odd disappearances and deaths. At the Burrow, 3 people appeared in the sitting room, appearing to have Apparated.

"Lucky we were at Grimmauld Place this year huh?" Fred asked, wiping dust off his front.

George nodded, "Otherwise we would be getting whipped by mum."

"Mind you, she will probably beat us anyway when we get back. I just hope Percy gets more-"

"Okay!" Ginny clapped her hands loudly. "Where shall we go first?"

"Well me and Fred are going to the Ministry to find Percy."

"Exactly how are you going to do that?"

Fred and George just grinned at each other. Ginny didn't know if she wanted to know at that point.

"Just do what you were asked to do," Fred said. "We're off."

Just as they were about to leave, Ginny held them back, "Wait! Where are we supposed to meet up?"

"Grimmauld Place? It seems reasonable."

And with that, they Disapparated. Ginny, who didn't know how to Disapparate yet, was forced to find another way to London. She went out of the house and towards the shed where Mr Weasley kept his work stuff. Having snuck into the shed before to borrow her brothers' brooms in the past, she knew the spells and locks needed to be attended to in order to get in. And once she managed, she grabbed Fred's broom and a worn-out compass that would help her navigate her way to London. She then exited the shed and hopped on the broom, kicking off into the clear sky. In about half an hour, she had reached the centre of London. The real trouble was finding the Order of the Phoenix headquarters.

Upon landing in an empty alleyway, she looked left and right before exiting the street, her wand in her hand and covered by her jacket sleeve while her broomstick was in her other hand. Having exited the street and onto the main road, she started to get worried she couldn't find her way. And this was the first time she was all alone with no one she could associate with.

"Come on Ginny think!" she mumbled to herself.

She looked up and down the street and found someone wearing a navy police uniform. Having seen people like him before on the streets either telling people off or directing other travellers, she approached him with the hope of him helping her.

"Excuse me sir," Ginny said, batting her eyelashes. "I was wondering where Grimmauld Place was."

"Just walk down that road and then turn left," the man smiled, pointing in the direction of the nearest traffic junction.

Ginny thanked the man and strolled off, getting to the destination in next to no time. She recognised the walls and windows structure. Upon approaching the front door, she felt a bit uneasy at what would happen when she entered.

What if the Order didn't believe her? What if she ran into herself? What if she couldn't back to her time and she was stuck in the past?

Ginny raised her fist to knock on the door and waited, until someone opened it. It was Mad-Eye Moody. When she saw his face, she started to feel like she might cry. He didn't know what his future would be yet. He didn't know how he would die and most importantly, she felt uneasy at the fact that this might be the only time she could properly say goodbye to him.

"Who are you?" Moody grunted.

Ginny then began to panic. Knowing Moody to be a very paranoid individual, it was natural for him to doubt her. The difficult part now was convincing him that she wasn't an imposter.
