Summery: The door opened, and a young man stood there, who quite resembled James Potter, and he looked completely, utterly shocked.

Chapter One

Just ten more minutes, and he was out of there! Harry was practically jumping for joy, ten minutes and he would be completely and forever free of the Dursleys.

No more listening to Dudley, no more having to wait until the Dursleys' left the house to get something to eat, no more staying in his 'room' for endless hours at a time, no more staying up for all hours of the night because of Aunt Petunia's snoring. No more of them, period!

He still couldn't believe it.

The Marauders – James, Sirius, Remus and Peter – were all sitting in their regular compartment aboard the Hogwarts express. James, Remus and Peter were all leaning in close trying to here what Sirius was saying.

"Guys, you'll never believe what I nicked from my brother last week. A TIMETURNER! I mean, where would REGULUS get something like THAT?!"

"Get something like what, Black?" asked Lily Evans.

All the boys jumped. No one had heard her come in.

James had a sort of dazed look on his face. Remus jabbed him in the ribs, "Snap out of it, mate."

James just nodded as he rubbed his side. He was to busy staring at Lily.

"Nothing, Evans. Its none of your business, anyway."

"Whatever, Black." Lily muttered. "Oh, and Remus, the Prefect/Heads meeting starts in about fifteen minutes," and with that she walked out of the compartment.

"Damn it, boy! Stop pacing!" Shouted Uncle Vernon.

"Ya, sure, whatever," answered Harry. He really didn't care.

Freedom was near!

Dumbledore, Ron and Hermione were due to arrive in seven minutes and fifteen seconds, fourteen, thirteen, twelve, eleven ...

JaMiEaNdAlExArEtHeTiMeTuRnErS

"I would like to introduce our new heads, Mr. James Potter and Miss Lily Evans." Polite applause filled the Great Hall.

James wasn't really paying attention. He was busy staring at Lily. Again, Remus poked him in the ribs. "Pay attention!" he whispered.

"I will Mooney, I will ... wait, what was that, Padfoot?"

"Meet me in the Gryffindor common room at 1AM. I've got, you know, something, to show you," Sirius winked.

"Will do, Padfoot. Will do."

JaMiEaNdAlExArEtHeTiMeTuRnErS

Just three more minutes.

Just three more minutes and Harry would be on his way to the Burrow, spending the rest of his summer with the Weasleys – and Hermione – taking his first steps as a free man.

JaMiEaNdAlExArEtHeTiMeTuRnErS

The Marauders were up to something. Lily could feel it.

The feast had been abnormally quiet. No pranks had been pulled, no food fights started. Peeves hadn't made an appearance either. The Marauders had to be planning something. Something BIG.

And it was keeping Lily awake. What in the world could they be up too?

Just then she heard something in the common room. It sounded like a … thunk?

"What the heck?" she whispered.

Lily quickly got out of bed and quietly raced out of her dorm. She tiptoed down the stairs and looked into the common room.

And there were the Marauders – Potter, Black, Lupin and Pettigrew. Go figure.

JaMiEaNdAlExArEtHeTiMeTuRnErS

Harry was still pacing in the front hall. He had one minute left but his mind wasn't on that small amount of time.

He was busy planning out the rest of his summer at the Burrow. Hermione would be there too so the Golden Trio would be together. Ginny would be there as well.

Oh, Ginny ...

Suddenly the chiming of the doorbell broke Harry out of his daydreams.

JaMiEaNdAlExArEtHeTiMeTuRnErS

"Quiet, you don't want to wake anyone up!" hissed Sirius.

James nodded his agreement as Peter blushed.

"Sorry," he whispered as he picked himself off of the common room floor – he'd missed the last step of the staircase.

"Okay, Padfoot, remind me why all of us had to come down here?"

Sirius smirked. "This is why Mooney." He pulled the timeturner out of his pajamas.

"What is that?" Peter asked, completely clueless.

Sirius sighed. "It's a timeturner Wormtail. Please try to keep up."

"I think the question should be: 'where did you get a timeturner', Black?" came a voice from the girls stairs. The boys jumped.

"Evans! What a lovely surprise!" replied Sirius sarcastically.

"Really? What the HELL are you four doing?" she snapped as she walked towards them. Lily stopped when she reached them. "Time is a mysterious thing and should not be meddled with."

"Thanks for the warning, now why don't you be a good little girl and go back up to bed." That was Sirius' answer. Sirius then spun the timeturner, but in the process of spinning it Lily made a grab to stop him. The timeturner fell from his fingers and shattered on the ground.

"NO!" shouted Lily as she grabbed onto James.

The room started to spin.

JaMiEaNdAlExArEtHeTiMeTuRnErS

"Is that them?" Uncle Vernon shouted from the Living Room.

"Answer the damn door, boy!"

Harry opened the door, and stared in shock at what was in front of him.

JaMiEaNdAlExArEtHeTiMeTuRnErS

They landed, or arrived in front of a small house. The house had a large golden number four on the front of it.

"Where are we?" asked Sirius.

"Don't know." James answerd.

"What do we do?" Sirius asked.

"We could try the doorbell," suggested Lily.

All the Marauders jumped. They hadn't realized she had come with them.

"What's a doorbell?" Sirius asked, confused.

She sighed and walked up the drive, the Marauders following her. When she reached the front door, she pushed the button underneath the porch light.

Through the door they could hear a man shouting.

"Is that them? Answer the damn door, boy!"

The door opened, and a young man stood there, who quite resembled James Potter, and he looked completely, utterly shocked.
