Chapter 1- Arrival

It was just three days after Christmas when Harry Potter was enjoying a relatively quiet day at the Burrow, the Weasley residence. Harry and Ron were in the garden, de-gnoming the garden by hurling the gnomes as far out of the Burrow's garden as they could. The same garden where Harry had a talk with the current Minister of Magic, Rufus Scrimgeour who had tried to persuade him into being the Ministry's poster boy.

Harry shook his head at the memory and chucked the gnome he had grasped in his hand by the ankles. The gnome soared into the air and flying out of sight as it landed outside the hedge. Beside him, Fred, George and Ron did the same, and Harry was suddenly reminded of his first visit to the Burrow just before his second year.

"Fred, George, Ron, Harry, dinner is ready!" Mrs. Weasley shouted, and the second Ron heard the word 'dinner' he chucked his gnome high into the air and instantly ran towards the kitchen. Harry followed him inside where Ginny, Fleur and Bill were arranging the cutlery on the table.

"Is someone coming for dinner today, Mrs. Weasley?" asked Harry, looking at all the food, which could literally feed an army.

"Yes, Harry dear," Mrs. Weasley replied, handing Ginny plates to lay down on the table. "Dumbledore, Remus and Severus are coming today to discuss something with Arthur and me. Now, would you please help Ginny lay down the plates, dear?"

"Yes, Mrs. Weasley," said Harry, more than a little happy to be close to Ginny for a moment. For the last few months, Harry was secretly glad that Ron, or any of his brothers, really, were skilled enough in Legilimency to see his nightly dreams. He shuddered to think what would happen if they knew what was going on his mind regarding their only sister.

He and Ginny laid the plates in companionable silence, Harry quietly wondering if Ginny always smelled like sweet flowers or not. Just then, a crack sounded from the garden and a minute later Tonks entered the kitchen.

"Wotcher, Harry, Ginny," greeted Tonks, her hair a mousy brown instead of its bright bubbly pink.

"Hi, Tonks," Harry said as Ginny hugged the young Auror. "How was your Christmas?"

"Boring," Tonks replied, coming forward to kiss Harry on the cheek.

Soon, all the Weasleys came downstairs including Fleur, Bill's fiancé. Dumbledore, and Remus also arrived by Floo, including a very sour looking Snape.

Tonks suddenly looked uncomfortable and shifted away from the newly arrived group. Harry frowned at the young witch who lately looked quite depressed.

"Hello, Remus," Fred and George greeted. "How's it going?"

"As usual, Fred, George," replied Remus, looking a little shabbier than usual. "How's business going?"

"Spectacular, Remus," Fred answered. "The Shield Gloves are just walking of these days, you know."

"What's that, now?" Remus asked, curious to hear about another of the twins' brilliant inventions.

"Oh, it was George's idea at first―"

CRASH!

Fred was just in middle of his explanation when a thunderous crash blared throughout the house and suddenly a group of children were piled upon each other in the Burrow's kitchen with a lot of shouts and cries of pain.

"Ow, who's that?"

"I can't breathe, Vic!"

"What the HELL did you do, James?!" someone shouted.

"Why does everyone always blame me?"

"Oh, geez, I wonder why?" a sarcastic voice spoke.

"Hey, it was not my fault. Fred threw that Time Turner at me!" the same boy spoke who had been shouted at earlier.

The first to stand up was a bushy-haired girl along with a beautiful blonde girl.

"Who are you and how did you get inside?" Remus demanded, pointing his wand at the intruders. Snape and Mr. Weasley also pointed the wands at the slowly disentangling group while Dumbledore joined Remus' side.

The blonde girl's eyes widened as she looked at them. "Oh…what the…JAMES, WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO?"

"It was not me, Vic!" the same boy who must have been James insisted. "I'm telling you it was Fred who threw it at me!"

"Hey!" another boy protested, this one with red hair and freckles on his face. "And whose idea was it to steal it in the first place?"

"You didn't, James!" a high pitched voice spoke from between the crowd. "Daddy will have your hide for going inside his office."

"Oh, shut up, Lily," James muttered at a small redhead girl who stood up along with another boy who had, weirdly enough, blue hair and golden eyes.

Severus Snape gasped as he got a good look at the small six year old and her painfully familiar emerald green eyes. What more, the girl had the same blood red hair as Lily Evans…The Potion Master shook his head and concentrated on the blue-haired boy who appeared the oldest.

"How did you get here?" Dumbledore asked the blue-haired boy who looked like a young man really.

"Uh, well…you see…" the man stuttered.

"It was a Time Turner, sir," another voice interrupted them, the tall blonde girl who had previously shouted at the boy called James. The same boy cringed along with his redhead friend as the girl sent a glare at them. "Apparently, these two had the bright idea to steal a Time Turner from our Uncle's office. And, now we're here, Merlin knows how many years into the past? When is this anyway?"

"December, 1996," Remus answered, looking shrewdly at the supposed time travelers. "Time Travel is only possible for hours only, not for years. Tell us the truth."

The blue-haired man now looked like he was going to faint as he looked at the werewolf and was only standing because of the blonde girl next to him. The girl tightly grasped the fingers of the man and looked up into the hard eyes of Lupin, defiance in her clear blue eyes. "We're not lying. We really came from the future because of an accident."

"Do you have any proof?" Dumbledore demanded, calm yet fierce.
