CHAPTER 1

The Year 2004

"Lily, Lily!" James Sirius Potter ran into the room tripping over his feet. Lily looked up from a first-year charms book, annoyed.

"Jamie!" She scolded, "I'm reading! Get lost before I tell daddy." James paled. Lily Luna Potter, at age 9 was a daddy's girl. Their father Harry Potter, the saviour of the wizarding world, was unimaginable to the public eye to seem like someone who would cater to someone's every need. Lily, however, had her father wrapped around her tiny pinky.

James recovered. "Why are you reading first-year books? Al is going into first year next month not you!"

"Because Jamie," Lily mocked, "unlike you, I'm learning more so I can be the best at pranking." She flashed him a wicked smile.

James pouted, "That's true," he reluctantly said, his eyes narrowed, "but you will never be betting at pranking than me."

Lily scoffed. "As if. Remember when daddy's underwear was pink last week," She said, "Oh yeah, that was me." She beamed proudly.

James gaped, "What?" he asked flabbergasted, "I thought that was Mum. They got into an argument last night." Their mother, Ginny Potter nee Weasley, was a spitfire. Lily especially got those genes. Whenever their father annoyed her, she would get him back in the worst ways. Their father being pranked was a regular occurrence between their mother, James and Lily. Their other child, Albus Severus Potter, appeared to be the most sensible out of them all, he was sneaky, however, and unknown to his entire family, he pranked them regularly, just without them knowing it was him.

"Yeah," Lily flipped her bright red hair, "I'm that good."

James stared for a minute then shook his red tinted black, messy hair. "Anyway, guess what I just found!" Lily stared at James blanky. "Okayyy," James drawled, "Well, I found Dad's time turner!"

"What!" two voices exclaimed. James and Lily turned, to their right to see Teddy and Albus standing in the doorway with their jaws dropped.

"Cool!" Lily and Albus said. Everyone looked at Albus strangely, wasn't he supposed to be the responsible one?"

"No!" Teddy said panicking, his hair changing to yellow, "NOT COOL! Your father is going to kill us!"

"What have you done now?" A new voice sounded exasperated. Standing in the doorway was their father, Harry Potter himself. The years have gone kindly to him. Not many wrinkles, and a nice strong, muscled body. He was still the most wanted man in all of the Britain Wizarding World.

"THEY'VE GOT YOU TIME TURNER!" Teddy immediately yelled, his hair turning red. Harry's face turned into shock, and then finally into panic.

"What, but that was in my locked office!" He yelled. He went thoughtful and then immediately turned to his eldest son, "James Potter!"

James put on an innocent face and put his hands up, "I'm all innocent in this I swear!"

"Daddy!" Lily screeched and skidded in front of her dad. She put on her puppy eyes and said, "I was just reading a book and Jamie came in saying he had your time turner!" She pouted.

Harry's face softened and James shot Lily a betrayed look and put a hand on his chest as though offended. "It doesn't matter," Harry said softly, his face turned serious, "Jamie, hand over the time turner." Harry reached out a hand towards his son. Teddy, eager to oblige his godfather, snatched it out of James' hand and went towards Harry. Teddy, 'curse his mother's genes!', tripped on the way, causing the time turner to fly in the air. Harry dived towards the time turner, but it was too late and the glass smashed and a yellow cloud blew up around the room.

"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!" Was the last bellowed words before their worlds went black.
