upon a glimpse...

It was raining heavily outside my dormitory at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I sighed most heavily, though I'd always secretly loved the rain. My twin brother Fred was as per usual, up to absolutely no good with my cousins Albus and Hugo, who had undoubtedly dubbed themselves the Hogwarts Pranksters. I remember Uncle Harry telling us all the stories of his Father and his fathers friends. They were Remus Lupin; the kind and sweet Werewolf, father to Teddy and husband to a once thriving Nymphadora. They died in the final battle, a most heart wrenching sadness. Sirius Black, the animagus best friend of James Potter and Remus Lupin. Then there was James Potter, lover of all mischief and pranks, Hopelessly in love with a one, Lily Evans, Uncle Harry's mother. The story was so sad, If I could, I would change it. How could fate be so cruel as to take their lives? Uncle Harry lived a lonely life as a muggle up until he started Hogwarts where he met my Uncle Ron and Aunt Mione, My dad and his twin brother Fred who as fate had also deemed, would loose his life on that fateful night as well. I hated everything for it, my father never really got over the loss of his brother, it wasn't until my mother came along some two years later did he get better.

Aunt Ginny is always telling me how my parents became a couple, my mother, as much as I loved her was just a tad bit err off of her rocker. Fred seems to get her to where I don't, although I favor my mum's looks and He my fathers. My mother was Luna Lovegood, now Weasley. She has the most off the wall notions of life and everything under the sun. She fought in the last battle of the Second war alongside my family. My dad was years ahead of her, so he never seemed to give her much notice until a fateful night of cheers at the Burrow when My Uncle Ron and Aunt Mione married. I always thought that my father suffered much worse fates than others, perhaps not quite as heart wrenching as the Marauders, but never the less, sad. He looses his twin brother, also named Fred, only to have twins? Is that some slap in the face or something? I loved my dad, we understood each other quite well. He owned a shop in Diagon Alley called Weasley Wizarding Wheezes that sells all the Jokes in the world, muggle and magical alike. He loves my mum dearly though, its the sweet kisses he gives her in passing, the looks filled to the brim with passion in his eyes at home.

Tomorrow we were all leaving for Christmas at the burrows, which over the years had been rebuilt after the war to accommodate the many grandchildren Gran and Gramps Weasley accumulated over the years. With Six children who all had taken after they're parents and had droves of children, well besides my dad, there was a need for space and rooms. It was a warm winter in England, as there had been a record low in snow this year. My mum Say's that times are a changing and that soon the one to Restore all harmony to time would arise. But then again even I, who loved my mother dearly, thought she was just a bit way off her lovely little rocker.

My name is Lyla, Lyla Weasley. I was five feet two inches tall, had incredibly long blond silvery hair like my mum, and incessantly blue eyes.

My best friend was Lily Potter, who as it would happen is my cousin as well.

If my twin died, I would soon follow, with out my Freddie, there was no living for me. I wore incredibly too much green; loved chocolate more than anything else on this planet and... was hopelessly in love with Frank Longbottom. He was in the same year as Lily and I, at current we were happy go lucky fifth years. Oh yeah, and I was an animagus.

It was strange though, that I'd be a wolf. Then maybe not. I'd always loved the moon, it was a constant in my life's sky. Since the day I was born, the moon was my love. Of course this changed over the years, as I fell in love with Frank. He was a right genius he was, herbology freak to boot. Though I'm pretty sure its in the genes, as his dad and mum are both hopelessly in love with the subject as well. He's dating this Hufflepuff girl at the moment though, the boy's a right ladies man.

"Heya Lyla." Lily sat down besides me on the window seat.

"Hey Lils." I turn and smile at her.

"What are you think about?"

"Fate."

"Sounding a bit like your mum eh?"

I glared at her. "How cruel fate really is."

"How so?"

"Well I was thinking about Remus Lupin..."

"Back to your hero?"

"Lily he is my hero!"

"I know you magical creature freak."

"Hey?!"

"Oh come on, its true. You and your mum do have somethings in common."

"I. Am. Not. Like. My. Mum!"

"Lyla, your mum is my favorite Aunt. There is nothing to be ashamed of."

"I am not ashamed of my mum!"

"Then why are you taking such an offense?"

"I'm not. I just hate when people say, 'oh Lyla, you look just like your mum.' or 'Oh you and your mum are one of a kind.' Drives me bloody insane!"

"Anyways, why are you thinking of Remus Lupin?"

"He's just so brave. Can you imagine that? Living life although all hope and love disappeared from your life?" I sighed gazing back into the rain.

"Oh Lyla." She pulled me into a hug. "Your thinking about your dad and Uncle Fred again huh?"

"Yeah..."

"I swear Lyla, Its out of our hands. Merlin's sweaty balls your hard headed."

"Oh can it you." I grinned, trying to cheer up.

"Plus." she added. "Tomorrow were going to go to the burrow."

"Yeah..."

"Going to miss Frank?"

"Yeah... I mean, of course, he's one of my best friends."

"You fancy him."

"Yeah.. What? No! He's my best mate."

"Liar. I swear, you two are made for each other." She jumped up dramatically. "One, in love with Herbology." She gesticulated a plant. "The other, obsessed beyond her wits with Care of Magical creatures." she again gesticulated an animal. "Star crossed lovers..."

"Romeo and Juliet died." I rolled my eyes. "Star crossed is not a good thing. Another one of fates evil manipulative plots..."

"Oh Lyla, your no fun." she huffed and sat back down.

"I guess."

"Come on, lets go bug the guys with our singing?" She pulled me up and towards the door.

"What are we going to sing?" I asked a bit brighter. I loved music.

"How about some Toto?"

"Hold the line?"

"Yup!"

We walked down the crimson steps to the Gryffindor common room. The squashy gold and crimson sofas and chairs looked inviting next to the roaring fire. The six boys and one girl siting about a table were the ones about to be serenaded My brother Fred, cousins Albus Potter, Rose and Hugo Weasley, Scorpius Malfoy, and Frank Longbottom. We walked up behind them before bursting into song.

Lily

Lyla

both

"Its not in the that you hold me."

"Its not in the way you say you care."

All six boys turned around with grins, they knew what we were doing. As we'd done it before.

"Its not in the way that you've been treating my friends."

"Its not in the way that you'll stay tell the end."

"Its not in the way you look."

"Or the things that you say you do."

"Hold the line!"

We made the dunt dunt dunt dunt sounds.

"Love isn't always on time."

"Oh whoa whoa."

"Hold the Line!"

"Love isn't always on time"

"Whoa whoa whoa."

"Its not in the words that you told me."

"Its not in the way you say your mine."

"Woohoooht"

"Its not in the way that you came back to me."

"Its not in the way that your love sets me free"

"Its not in the way that you look or the things that you say that you do."

"Hold the line."

"Love isn't always on time."

We finished with bows. They all stood up and cheered with applause.

"You two girls are bloody brilliant." Albus smiled.

"Yeah! Why cant you be more like them Rose?" Scorpius drawled.

"Oh can it Malfoy." Rosie rolled her eyes.

"You know that you love me Rose." Scorpius waggled his eyebrows at her.

"Ok... I don't want to witness any yucky love crap." Hugo pretended to vomit.

"Me neither." I agree, plopping down next to Frank.

"I third that." Frank said.

Albus rolled his eyes. "Oh yeah Frank me boy. Really with you dating half the female population."

"Shut it Al." He blushed.

"Its true." Lily said plopping down next to me.

"Is not!"

"Whatever. Heya Lyla, pass me one of those frogs you've got." Fred eyed the chocolate I'd just unearthed from my robe pocket.

"Get some yourself Freddie boy." I possessively hid my frogs.

"Oh come on, I'm dying here." he whined.

"No!" I glared at him.

"But I'm your twin?" he asked mock hurt.

"Yeah? And?"

Frank smirked. "Can I have one?"

I smiled catching on. "Sure." I handed him one.

"AHH!" Fred looked hurt.

"What?" I took a bit out of the head.

"Hey everyone. Guess who Lyla fancies?" Fred stood up and puffed his chest all proud like.

I chucked one at his head.

"Wait. You actually fancy someone?" Rose asked me with disbelief while perched upon Scorpius's knee.

I blushed profusely. "Fred you will die for this." I glowered.

"Yeah she does." Lily added.

"Lils?"

"Who is it?" Al wiggled his eyebrows knowingly.

"No one. Its no one. Fred." I stood up and advanced upon my twin.

He got all scared like and ducked behind Al's chair.

"Come on, just tell us." Scorpius smiled the same as Al.

"I fancy no one."

"Liar." Lily smirked. She'd been trying to get me to tell for months.

"Ugh. You guys suck." And with that I left the common room with a swish of my silvery blond hair.

oo0O0oo

I was sitting out by the thestral paddock. It was pitch dark.

But never the less, I did not at all care.

I huffed loudly and hugged my knees to my chest thinking back to the day I seen my Great Auntie Muriel die. I never liked her much, but all the same did not wish death upon her.

It was cold and I was drenched to the bone, even though I was under the large evergreen that kept everything mostly dry. I sighed heavily, now I've gone and made a fool of myself. Half of the those people knew anyways. Fred and Hugo knew by reading my journal. Lily I told, Al guessed out of nowheres and most likely told Scorpius. I hated the rats, why they had to make everything so bloody difficult I did not know. Frank was my best guy mate, I was not going to trade that in for anything in the world. It simply would not be done. I reached into my robe pocket and pulled out one of my chocolate frogs and chewed the leg off. It was then that I heard twigs snapping from behind me and a smell that I knew all to well came within a five feet distance of me. Frank sat down besides me, th roughing a dry, warm cloak over my shoulders.

"Why'd you run out?" He asked calmly.

"Got irritated."

"By what exactly?"

"Those berks trying to meddle with my personal feelings."

"Ahh." he nodded.

We sat in silence for a few minutes.

"Lyla, its freezing out here."

"Then go back inside, I'll be fine." I shrugged the warm cloak off and handed it to him.

"I'm not going to leave you here."

"Just go. I'll be in soon."

"Merlin's sweaty butt crack. Lyla you are the most stubborn, hard headed girl. That I've ever met."

"Well Frank, thanks for your bloody truth."

"Come on. Lets go in. Who cares if you fancy some random person. I don't, and neither should you."

I look up at him with wide eyes. Sometimes I loved how much Frank didn't see the bigger picture.

"I just want to sit here." I sighed.

"Alright. I'm going to see my dad. I'll be right back." He put the cloak back around me and left only to return twenty minutes later a large sleeping bag and steaming thermos of hot coco. I rolled my eyes at him and watched him roll the green squashy sleeping back out and climb inside. I shook my head at him, he always hated the cold.

"Frank. I know how much you hate the cold. Just go inside and stay warm."

"I did grab the big one, there is enough room for you." he said with heavy eyes.

"I like the cold though."

"I know, never said you weren't a bit crazy."

"Oh shut it." I tossed a pine cone over at him.

"Hey!?" He said in mock outrage. "I bring you hot coco and you through pine cones at me?"

"Its for me?" I wiggle my eyebrow.

"Yeah if you donate your body warmth to me. Geeze Lyla its bloody cold out here."

"Oh fine you. Chocolate was always my downfall." I walked over and slid into the warm sleeping bag with him. He was shivering badly, the lump. He never did listen to whats good for the idiot.

"Your warm."

I rolled my eyes. "I always bloody am you great prat."

"Hey, do you want the Coco or not?"

"Give it." I sat up and took the thermos and drunk the thick chocolaty substance that I loved oh soo much.

"Girl, your a going to make me freeze my arse off if you don't get back down in this bloody bag."

I capped the coco and slid back down into the warmth of the bag. He clung to me as if I were a beacon of ever lasting warmth.

"Frank?"

"Yeah?"

"Why are you such a great prat?"

"Hey. I'm not a prat."

"Are to you lump."

"Whatever Weasley."

"Looser Longbottom."

"Your a dweeb my pretty little blond friend."

"And your a dork."

"So who is this illicit love of yours?"

"No one."

"Liar!"

"Of course." I snuggled closer to him, something I'd been secretly dying to do for ages.

"Can you um..." he broke off. "Transform. Your always warmer as a wolf."

So to keep him warm and pacify his question, I quickly transformed into a wolf. I curled up on top of him, as to keep him warmer.

"Thanks." he scratched my ears.

oOooOooOo OOoOoOO oOOooOOo

The sunlight streamed across my face, I was in my animagus form that I knew due to the fact that I could hear Franks cool breathing and twigs snapping some ten miles away.

I lifted my head and looked down at Frank, my snout sniffing just to make sure he was ok. And so he was. I transformed back into my human state and curled up next to him only to seconds later to go to sleep.

oOooOooOo OOoOoOO oOOooOOo

"Do you think that they're alive? With all that snow on top of them? Surely no one could survive that?" A tenor voice asked.

He was responded to by a voice a tad bit heavier. "I dunno, they look alive. Hey Pads the lad kinda looks like Frank yeh?"

"Oh move over." a dog like voice said before I felt him lean over Frank and I.

My transformation was instant. I didn't know these people, and I wasn't taking chances.

I growled at the one who was standing over us. Teeth barred.

"Whoa." The voice of the second boy said. I looked over at him only to see Albus staring at me. Wait a minute that wasn't Al...

I kicked Frank with my back foot.

"Whazzah? Lyla?" He sat up staring around wildly.

I growled at the four boys in front of me. In a flash the one I'd first growled at was gone in replace of him was a very large burly black dog. He narrowed his eyes protectively at me for his friends.

'Who are you?' I asked in a whine.

'We wont hurt you.' The dog responded.

"Lyla, transform back. Like Al and his friends are going to hurt us." Frank said standing up.

I transformed back. "Frank you idiot. Thats not Al."

"I'm James." The Al look alike strode forward. "What are you two doing out in the snow?"

"What year is this?" I asked breathlessly.

The first voice, the voice of a golden haired young man answered. "1976 why?"

"Frank did you have a time turner?"

"Just the one dad gave me for classes yeah." he nodded with fear.

"Where is it?"

"Right..." He pulled the broken time turner from his neck. "Here..." he looked stupefied. "Oh my god were not in Kansas anymore."

"Ok Frank, calm down. We'll go see McGonagal and fix it all up ok?"

"Ok."

"Wait." the golden haired boy asked. "Then what year are you from?

"Well... All I know is that you." I pointed to James. "Your my best friends grandfather..."

An: Whatcha think eh?
