Disclaimer: I DO NOT own the wonderful world of Harry Potter; that is the product of J. K. Rowling's amazing imagination. I do own the plot of this story, as well as the character of Amalase, who will be introduced later.

Chapter 1:

Albus Severus Potter sat in the library with his best friend Scorpius, studying for their upcoming OWLs. Al's cousin Rose wandered over to the table with a towering pile of books cradled in her arms. She gingerly placed them on the table in front of Al and Scorpius. Both boys groaned, they'd been working for a solid 2 hours to review the last four years. Rose narrowed her eyes at them, and they meekly retreated behind the pages of their books. Rose dropped her bag on the table next to the pile of books, and wandered off to find more books. After a couple minutes of reading, Scorpius straitened from his slump and glanced around to make sure she was gone, then tugged her abandoned bag towards him and began rooting through it. Al glanced up in shock and scowled at Scorpius.

"What are you doing?" he hissed. "She's gonna murder you."

Scorpius ignored him. "Ooh, what's this?" he asked, pulling a time turner from the depths of her schoolbag.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!" Rose shrieked from behind him. Neither boy had seen her return. Scorpius jumped and they all watched helplessly as the time turner slipped from his hands, and hit the floor. It exploded in a cloud of gold dust.

Rose paled. "That's definitely not good" she murmured.

Everything faded to white around them, as smoke filled the library.

When the smoke finally dissipated, Madam Pince, hurrying past, could find no trace of the Ravenclaws or the mysterious smoke and hurried from the library in the direction of the Headmistress's office.

For the students, as they finally opened their eyes, they found three very familiar-albeit rather younger than when they had last seen them-teens were surrounding them. Rose sat up from where she lay sprawled across the boys, and stared at their audience. Scorpius groaned and glanced around. They remained in the library, but everything looked uncannily newer.

Scorpius, in glancing around, had spotted the reason for their untimely "trip".

"Hey Rosie, your time turner… it's fixed again! But, why does your dad have it? And why does he look so young?"

Rose and Al, who'd turned to stare at each other in shock, snapped their heads' up to stare at a very young Ron Weasley, who dropped the time turner in shock. "Who are you?" he asked, suspicious.

"NO!" Rose and Hermione shouted, both reaching for the falling time turner, and watching it glance of Rose's fingers and hit the floor

"Not again" Al groaned, as the already cracked time turner emitted more golden smoke.

Rose and Hermione glanced at each other in disbelief (Hermione) and chagrin (Rose). Then everything faded to white again.

As the smoke cleared, the six fifteen year olds could be seen sprawled across the floor of the library. A moment later, the fifteen year old Severus Snape slipped around the bookshelves, looking over his shoulder. He froze as he turned and saw them, started to back away, in fear of them recognizing him, then stopped and narrowed his eyes at them.

"Who are you and where did you come from?" He questioned, striding forward once more.

Scorpius, recognizing Snape, opened his mouth to reply and Rose, who was already standing, kicked him. She quickly turned back to Snape.

"Can you tell me where to find the headmaster?" she smiled politely at Snape, who eyed her with suspicion. He studied them, weighing his options. His hand hovered over the pocket of his robes, ready to whip his wand out, should the need arise.

"Snivellus…..Come out, come out wherever you are…." a familiar voice called from somewhere within the stacks of books Snape had come out of. He paled, then sighed.

"Come on" He ordered, glancing nervously over his shoulder as he gestured them to follow him. Between Snape and Rose, they helped everyone else stand up, brush themselves off, and then the seven teens hurried out of the library, headed for the Headmaster's office.

Moments later back in the library, a very young and clearly not dead, James Potter and Sirius Black came swaggering around the bookshelves from the same direction Snape had hurried away from earlier. Remus Lupin-younger and with a carefree air-followed closely behind them.

"I thought for sure Snivelly was here" Sirius scowled, finding the area Snape-free. Remus, with his werewolf senses, spotted a glint of gold and bent to inspect something lying on the floor. He held up Rose's twice dropped time turner necklace. It was cracked slightly on each side, and held very little sand. On the biggest ring was inscribed the following:

To Our Beloved Daughter,

Rose Nymphadora Weasley

Time is Knowledge

Hermione and Ronald Weasley

"Who is Rose Weasley?" Remus mused. He knew Arthur Weasley and Molly Prewett's wedding, but couldn't remember ever meeting a born Weasley daughter. "Do you know who she is?"

"I don't know" James and Sirius replied, in sync. The sound of running feet could be heard, as Albus came racing back around the bookshelves, in a panic.

"Oh….Oh My Gods! My cousin's necklace!" he exclaimed, reaching for it, then froze when he realized who was holding it.

Remus blinked at his hesitance. "You are a …fellow…Weasley?" The boy had midnight black hair, and the Weasleys were known for their vibrant red hair and uncontrollable freckles. This boy was definitely no Weasley. He looked more like James's clone.

"Sure sure, through my mum though. I'm Al, by the way. Look, I gotta go or she will murder me. Got her temper from her father, bloody hell. Don't want to be within a castle length when she explodes, yeah? Thanks for finding her necklace!" He snatched the time turner from Remus's outstretched hand, and abruptly ran off. James and Sirius stared after him in complete flabbergasted shock and confusion. Remus snapped his head back and forth between Al's retreating back and James. His eyes narrowed in thought.

"Bloody Hell! Does he look like me, or what?" James sputtered. Remus remained silent, glancing at James in thought. Sirius shrugged and dragged the two other Gryffindors off to find Lily Evans and Marlene McKinnon, who he was sure, would enjoy hearing their story.
