Chapter 1:The Time Turner

James Potter took out from his pocket what looked like an old parchment.He and his friends were getting bored shut up in the Gryffindor common room and decided to go to Hogsmead for two reasons.One, they were bored and Two, Sirius needed new Filibuster's Fireworks.It was for their party at the tower after they win their Quidditch match against Slytherin.

James tapped the writing material and said in a clear voice,

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."

Slowly, web of ink spreaded about the old Parchment and showed what looked like a map.It was not just any old map though.It was the map of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Sirius Black looked over James' shoulder and started pointing out moving names gleefully.

"Filch is at the Dungeons.His damned cat is patrolling the astronomy tower.The teachers are at the staff meeting.Looks like the TroubleMaking Gods are among us."said Sirius happily while wagging his eyebrows at Remus Lupin.Remus glared at Sirius.

"I should be up at the Library working on our moonstone essay.Prof. Slughorn wont forgive me for missing another deadline."said Remus, furious at Sirius for dragging him away.James smiled at Remus.

"Well, at least we would miss the deadline yet again,together.Right?"said James shaking the map at Remus' face.Peter Pettigrew looked happy.

"Yes.I wont be alone this time."said Peter eagerly.

"I dont think so.As soon as we get back, I am going to finish that essay."said Remus indignantly.Sirius let out a barklike laugh.

"If we get early, that is."said Sirius checking out his watch.

"If we dont get early, as a prefect, I will..."he started but the look that James gave him said "would-you-even-try?".Remus smirked and shook his head.James turned back to the map and muttered absentmindedly,

"mischief managed."

As they started to walk Sirius and Remus started to argue again about going home early.Peter was watching the scene mildly in the exchange of threats and do-you-dares.James was leading them around the castle.

Suddenly they heard a loud and anguished "Argh!".The marauders instictively took out their wands and pointed it at the position where they heard it.Remus the prefect turned to them.

"You three hide in the invisibility cloak.Its my turn to do rounds so I am allowed to be out.Ill check who it is.Stay put."he added giving Sirius a warning look.Sirius returned the look and James and Peter smirked but did what they were told.

When Remus saw that they were hidden he crept to the corner and saw dark red hair.It was Lily Evans.

Remus tapped Lily on the shoulder who gave a start and turned angrily at Remus.When she saw it was him she smiled and hid whatever she was holding in her back.

"Hey Remus.What are you doing here?"she asked.

"I was about to ask you the same question.Im on patrol duty.What are you doing here?"he asked suspiciouly.

"I just came from the Library."she said.When she saw that he still looked suscpicous she smiled at him.

"Ive got to go.Its almost curfew."she said and nodded at him.At the precise moment another "Argh!" was heard but this time with a loud thump and much cursing.Lily beaconed Remus to follow her.Remus who knew that they were the other three, followed but a little hesitantly.

If Lily found out what they were up to she would, without hesitation run to Prof.Mcgonagall.

They turned in the corner from where the sound came.There was a heap of rags on the floor.When they looked closely, it was Sirius and James in a tangle.Lily made an angry hiss.Remus rolled his eyes.

"Potter,what are you doing here?"asked Lily looking menacing.

"Hey Evans.Me and Padfoot here were just eavesdropping you see."said James while helping Sirius stand up.Sirius laughed.

"I asked what you are doing here!You are not out on another adventure are you?"said Lily suspiciously.James and Sirius exchanged a look of utter amazement.

"Yes, what if we are?What are you going to do about it?Run to Mcgonagall?"said Sirius.Lily blanched.Sirius gave a triumphant look to Remus who rolled his eyes again.

"Yes I will!If you two dont go back to the common room this instant I-"

But before she could say her punishment, Remus cut her off almost instantly.

"Where is Wormtail?"he said.James looked around.

"I told him to wait guard over there."said James,pointing at the tall mirror near the wall.

"Well, he does not seem to be there.Cowardly,I suppose when he saw Lily."said Sirius.He completely forgot that Lily was there.He and Sirius made their way to the one-eyed Wicth.When they got there and James said,

"Dissendium"

They hump of the one-eyed witch opened.Lily made a gasp of surprise.The three marauders looked at her.They really did forget she was there.

"What?If you want to go to Mcgonagall go then.We dont care."said Sirius.James nodded.Remus just went inside the hump.

"Remus!I expected better of you!You know what?Maybe I WILL!"said Lily indignantly.Sirius and James went in.But before he even got to close the passage way.Lily went in with them.James raised an eyebrow.

"Im coming with you.As a prefect I have to insure you are safe all the way.Then I will tell Mcgonagall about this passage so she will seal it.Not unless you go back now."she said.The three others ignored her.

When they got up the Honeydukes cellar, They slipped in the cloak.Lily was shaking her head disapprovingly.When they got out, she spoke so loudly Remus jumped.

"Potter!Black!Lupin!I swear!If we dont go back now, I will never go out with you Potter!"she boomed.James looked scandalized and was looking torn.

Lily made a sudden movement.She forgot she was still clutching the TimeTurner.James looked at her hand.

"What is that?"asked James pointing at her hand.

"Never you mind."said Lily tucking it in.

"Can I see?"pressed on James.

"NO!"cried Lily.

"Let me have it!"

James went for Lily's hand.But the shock of his sudden lunge, Lily dropped the Timeturner.

It was all so sudden.Their surroundings began to swirl.Remus tried to scream but his sound was drowned by all the movements.Lily was in tears,she was shouting words no one could hear.

Suddenly,everything stopped.All the air went back to them.Then the air of Hogsmead surrounded them once more.

Lily turned angrily to James.

"YOU! If you didnt scare me like that I'd still have my Time Turner! That caused me a lot of work to get one from the Ministry of Magic!"said Lily. She burst into tears and ran off.

"Perfect. I have to find her and say s-sorry." said James struggling.

Remus and Sirius watched him go and turned into the other direction.

"What happened over there?" said Sirius.

"Lily burst into tears." said Remus matter-of-factly.

"You know what I mean. We went back into time." said Sirius looking extremely worried. Remus grinned at him.

"Its probably a few hours back.Dont worry." said Remus as he picked up a bunch of flowers. Sirius stared at him.

"Who is that for?" he asked.

"No one in particular." said Remus winking.

"Where do you think we should go now? I dont know this place. Its a muggle shop right?" said Sirius looking around.

Suddenly they spotted a group at the side. Remus made to go forward. But Sirius, however, ran to them.

"Oi! Hey you people!" cried Sirius sprinting to them. Remus started to run too. When they got there, out of breath. The group turned to them. All of their gaws dropped. An uncomfortable silence followed.

"Do you people know where we are?" said Remus. Everyone dropped their jaws at Remus this time.

"Oka-ay."said Sirius who moved back uneasily. A balding man turned to him.

"Sirius? Is that you?" he asked. Sirius grinned like an idiot.

"See Moony? Im popular!" said Sirius. Remus smiled.

"Remus?"asked a kind looking woman.

"Yes. How do you know our names? I dont think we've met before." asked Remus suspiciously.

"Im Arthur Weasley.You must be from the past..."said Arthur.It was the turn of the two marauders jaws to drop.

'
James ran around the whole Hogsmead screaming Lily's name.Out of the corner of his eye he saw a red-head who was browsing the desk.James grabbed her arm and the girl turned around angrily.

"Harry?What happened to your eyes?"asked Ginny.

"What?Im not this Harry.Im James.James Potter."said James confidently.

Ginny stared at him.

"I know you look like your father, Harry... But quit it will you?"said Ginny looking stern.

"Father?"

'
Lily was so angry at James.While calling him names, she stopped and looked around.In her anger,she remembered that she didnt know where she was going.She was so worried.Then she turned and saw messy jet-black hair.

She ran to him and tapped him on the shoulder.

"Potter.We have to get back now.Or Mcgonagall will KILL US."said Lily.They guy turned and gave Lily a shocked look.

"Mum?"said Harry uneasily.

Lily if it was ever possible, got even angrier by that question┘ She moved closer to Harry and jabbed a finger on his chest.

"Alright, I dont know what your up to. But I want to get back to Hogwarts NOW!"said Lily. Harry was completely shocked at how his mother acted.

"But-"started Harry.Then Lily who was getting completely annoyed by the second grabbed Harrys arm and dragged him going up Hogsmead.Harry, who could stop his mother any second was to flabbergasted by her behavior.

When Lily stopped, panthing, she turned to Harry her long Red hair swishing with the strong wind coming from the south.Then she stared at Harry.

"What have you done with your eyes, Potter?I know you like me┘But this is getting ridiculus."said Lily.

Harry who was aching with an effort to stop Lily, looked up.Lily looked a little angry but also impressed.

Suddenly it hit him.They came from the past.Lily does not like James yet here.But how?

Harry was starting to wonder where his friends are.So he took out his wand and Lily who was standing fumbling in her pockets for something stopped dead.

"What are you doing?Put that back or I will deduct points from you."said Lily who was eyeing the wand apprehensively.

"Im just calling the others."said Harry, hoping he said the right words.But it was right, because Lily actually smiled this time.

"Good.Im sure with you, Remus and Sirius could help me fix this timeturner."said Lily brightly who found the golden Timeturner with a large crack at the bottom.

Harry who was muttering a million spells at once stopped, shocked.Sirius was here.And Remus too?Harry was devastated when Sirius died.He was the only one Harry actually had a father figure from.

And Remus.How would his younger self react when he finds out that he has a son.How about his dad?How would he react to Harry?

But before he could even ponder his question a large group ran up to him.All of their faces where paler than pale.

His best friends Ron and Hermione.George the rulebreaker.Scarred Bill.Beautiful and charming Fleur.Arthur and Molly.Ginny, his girlfriend.And also Little Teddy Lupin.

But they werent the only people coming up the hill.There were the younger selves of James, Srius and Remus.Harry who was still getting over the Lily thing felt his heart ache and drop to his knees, that he couldnt even manage to pick it up.

Ron and Hermione were the first to get up the hill.Hermione was looking extremely anxious and was eyeing the other three.When she saw Lily she gave a great groan of anxiety.Lily who was watching gave her a very annoyed and stern look.Then she looked at Remus, who was smiling but looked as anxious as Hermione.

"Lily, It seems that we have gone to the 21st century."said Remus.James and Sirus stared.

"What?"asked James and Sirius at the same time.

"You know...This is really weird."said Harry who had his face stoned by the talking of his dead father and godfather.

James who just saw Harry for the first time looked at him and gave him a once over.After a few seconds he gave a very audible gasp.And Lily who had her face buried in her hands looked up and saw James and Harry.She too gave a gasp.

"You look just like me."said James.

"Who are you?Im sorry for dragging you here."said Lily who was looking sincerely apologetic.

"Me?Im Harry Potter."said Harry.He actually expected James to react badly but he said,

"Are you a cousin?"he asked.

"No."said Harry who didnt know if he should say anything just yet.

Arthur, who sensed danger, butted in quickly.

"We should go to Dumbledore."said Arthur.

"Oh,Dumbledore is still headmaster is he...Great!"said Sirius enthusiastically.

"No hes not."said Molly almost annoyingly.It seems shes still not over the fight after 3 years.

"Then why are we going to Professor Dumbledore?"asked Lily politely.

"Because hes the greatest wizard of all time."said Bill who was holding Fleur's hand.

"Yeah, even if hes dead, he can still help us."said George who was the most quiet because he was to shocked to be in his heroes "the marauders" presence.

"HES DEAD!?"cried the marauders together.The others nodded glumly.

Harry had a particularly weird feelling that it was going to be a very eventful night.
