Lily's POV
My brother is an idiot. Everyone in the family knew that. Heck, everyone who wasn't in the family knew. James Sirius Potter was an idiot. We were gathered at my house, 12 Grimmauld Place, when James and Fred announced that they were going on an adventure. I learned not to trust that sentence when I was 2. I'm 12 now. That was not good.
Apparently, everyone else agreed. I saw Teddy and Victoire look at each other concerned. The whole family wasn't here, it was only Teddy, Victoire, Dom, Rose, Hugo, Fred, Scorpius, and us Potter's. That didn't mean nothing would happen. James was 16 now, so he still couldn't do magic outside of school, but he and my cousin Fred could still whip up a lot of trouble.
Al, Rose, and Scorpius were all 14 now, and I was dating him. Him being Scorpius. Everyone said we were too young, but we told them to kindly "Shut your pie hole before I do it for you." My whole family supported us, albeit after the rather nasty shock we gave them. Fred was 17, and Dom was 16 like James, but they were all going into 7th year. It was summer and James and Dom had fall birthday's. Victoire was 18, and she was training to be a curse breaker like Uncle Bill was. Aunt Fleur's reaction was really funny according to Dom, who had reported that Aunt Fleur had turned this sick shade of red and screamed until Uncle Bill stepped in and calmed her down. Then they had this huge argument that Victoire obviously won. Teddy was 20, and he was already an Auror. Dad said that Teddy was just like his parents all the time which made Teddy beam with pride. Teddy's parents had died when he was around 6 months old in the Battle of Hogwarts. We still hadn't learned about it in History of Magic yet but I knew most of it. A long time ago, an evil wizard named Voldemort wanted to rule the wizarding world and then he tried to kill my dad. My grandparents died, but Dad survived and long story short, after many years of close encounters, we all lived in a Voldemort free world thanks to Dad.
Anyway, James had pulled out a golden chain. He and Fred were smirking at each other. Dad always said James was exactly like his name sakes, James Potter I and Sirius Black. He even looked like the first James, with Dad's messy hair and hazel eyes. Fred looked like my dead Uncle Fred who had also died in the Battle of Hogwarts. Uncle George said that Fred was exactly like his twin. The family tended to agree.
The golden chain was connected to a locket of sorts. No, not a locket, more of a circle that had an hourglass in it. Next to me, Scorpius gasped. "James, Fred, that's a time turner. You'd want to be careful with that!" He was such a Ravenclaw sometimes. Teddy nodded his head and said, "James hand it over to me now." James gave Teddy a mischievous grin and shook his head. As Teddy went for it, the time turner was thrown to Fred. He caught it with ease and passed it to Dom. Dom threw it to me, who passed it back to James. Victoire then grabbed at it as the time turner was thrown to Rose. Victoire's hand grazed the time turner, which caused it to fall. I lunged and managed to catch it right before it hit the ground and shattered. I heard Scorpius and Albus sigh in relief. "Lily, can I have that?" Teddy asked extending his hand.
Before I could reply, James snatched it and twiddled with the knobs. Hugo chose that moment to want to get a good look and he reached for the time turner. Caught by surprise, James dropped it and the time turner shattered. Purple smoke drifted around us, and Victoire screamed. Suddenly, we were gone.
