Lily Evans sat in the deserted Gryffindor common room studying for the upcoming back to school Charms test that Flitwick always gave out.

It was deadly quiet until-

"I'm tellin' ya, Moony; this is the best thing to happen to us!"

"And how, Sirius, did you acquire a Time Turner?" Lily groaned. Of course Black would've found some way to mess up this year as well. This time though, it just so happened to be about time. The door to the Boys' dorms opened and three of the miserable four entered the common room.

Without even looking behind her, Lily instantly knew who it was.

"What do you want, Potter?" Her voice rang in the empty silence.

"Why Evans, what are you doing up at this time of the night?" James's voice was full of happiness to see his favorite person.

"Iam studying for the test that Flitwick is throwing at us tomorrow. What are you three doing?" She turned to them raising her eyebrows eager to hear their excuse.

"Well, you see, Padfoot here," James began, "'found' a Time Turner and we were just looking at it." James gestured over to his friend who was on the verge of turning the small device.

"Black, I wouldn't do that!" Lily looked a bit scared.

"Please, Evans, I know how to work these things." Sirius waved her off as he started to turn the Time Turner.

"Sirius," Remus looked scared.

Suddenly there was a flash of light and the common room was empty.

Harry James Potter was finally getting the quiet he had been wanting for about two days now. And although many had survived, Harry was counting his losses.

Remus, Tonks, Fred, and even Colin had left empty holes in everybody's hearts along with the fifty others. Then he thought of all those whom had died in the first war.

Harry leaded back against the back of the chair and decided he was hungry.

He rushed up to the Boys' dorms and went into his room. All four boys in the room were asleep. He went over to his bed and grabbed his invisibility cloak which he had inherited from his father at the age of eleven. He threw it over himself and went back down to the common room to find Ginny Weasley settling herself on the couch in front of the warm fire.

Harry smiled and walked up behind her

"Boo!" Harry whispered in her ear and she jumped looking around.

"Harry Potter that was not funny!" She said through giggles. He pulled off the cloak and she saw he was smiling.

She walked behind the couch to him, "I think that's the first time in a while that you have genuinely smiled." He smiled again.

"Come to the kitchens with me?" She nodded and he threw the cloak over the two of them.

They walked to the portrait hole and when it opened and they walked out the Fat Lady looked baffled at the appearance of nobody. The young couple walked hand in hand and under the cloak the kitchen.

They were turning around a corner when they saw a flash of light and four people appeared. The two instantly realized who they were and Harry covered Ginny's mouth to keep her from screaming.

"Black! What did you do!?" Lily Evans practically screamed. There came a 'shushing' noise from nowhere.

"Hello?" A quite baffled Remus Lupin asked.

Harry removed the invisibility cloak and looked to the four time travelers.

"It's the middle of night. You've got to be quiet." Harry told them.

"Especially with all the people who are finally getting to sleep, like Ron." Ginny told them and Harry nodded.

"My name is Lily Evans," Harry smiled at her introducing herself, "It was September second, 1977 in our time. What year is it here?" She looked scared.

"May fourth," Harry choked, "1998." He finished.

All eight eyes staring at Harry and Ginny were wide open now.

"Please tell me you're kidding!" Sirius gasped. James looked around.

"Where's the Time Turner?!"

Ginny turned towards Harry. "We have to tell McGonagall!" She told him. Harry nodded in agreement.

"Minnie?" The three Marauders asked.

"Yeah," Ginny was confused.

"Wait," Lily stopped them. "How can we be sure we can trust them? They could be Death Eaters."

"Not likely." Harry told them.

"Alright then, what's your name?" Remus asked.

"Ginny Weasley," Ginny told them.

"Harry Potter," Harry looked at his dad.

"So you're my son?!" James looked ready to explode.

"Um, yeah."

"Who's your mum?" James asked looking at Lily.

"Potter, you can count me out of that equation."

"Well at least we know you four will get back to your own time." Ginny told them.

"How?" Sirius asked.

"Well you weren't able to then Harry would have gone 'poof' out of existence."

"Right, well I'd love to stand here and chat but, McGonagall would most likely want to know about this." Ginny nodded.

"What about Dumbledore?" Lily asked. Harry stopped dead.

"He, um," Harry didn't know if he should tell them. "He died. One year ago in a month." Harry tried to swallow the huge lump forming in his throat. He turned to the other four.

Their expressions were that of sorrow.

"Come on," Harry told them.

A/N: Well I know that it was mostly dialogue but People need to converse. Just to keep it clear:

Lily, Sirius, James, and Remus are all from 1977 at the beginning of their 7th year so Lily still 'hates' James. I left out Peter simply because he's a douchbag.

Harry, Ginny, and the others are in the year 1998 approx. 2-3 days after the Battle of Hogwarts. I looked up the date on Wikipedia and it said that the Battle was from May 1-2 1998.
