I'm going through and rewriting what I have already started…now that I'm done with yb I might actually have time to write!! Sorry for anyone who liked this story and wanted it to be continued…I'm going to try again.

If only I really did own Harry Potter but alas….

Hope you guys enjoy my attempt on a time travel tale. I'm a huge fan of them but after searching for good ones and reading them all I have decided that to entertain myself I will have to make up my own story.

The idea is a lot of Gryffindors, oh and Luna of course, go back to the 70s during the Marauder's time. Let's see Neville, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Luna, and Hermione are sent back in time. They spend their 7th year of schooling in the 70s. Voldemort is still alive and growing in power. The Marauder's are still alive. How will the group cope in a world…? Hope you enjoy

Please R&R they do wonders to get the next chapter up.

~Off to the 70's~

It had now been a few months since the battle of Hogwarts. Hogwarts had rebuilt itself with some help from the wizarding community. Everyone wanted to see Hogwarts open for another school year.

The whole country had been thrown into celebration, once the news that the Dark Lord had been killed, and for good this time. It was so large that many muggles had to have their memories modified because of the amount of magic around them. There was no confusion this time as to what happened to Lord Voldemort. There was a body this time as proof of his destruction.

A couple days after the battle a memorial service had been held for all those who had died in the final battle. A monument was to be built for them on the grounds of Hogwarts as a reminder of the bravery of those who had defended the school. It would resemble the fountain at the ministry in the way that house-elves, centaurs, and everyone who helped in the battle were equally represented. The names of those who died would be engraved in the monument to remind people of those who lost their lives fighting for what they believed were right. Some people wanted the wizard in the monument to resemble Harry but he was not going to let that happen.

At the memorial service Harry had the great honor of giving a speech to the wizarding world about the battle, which he did not see as an honor at all.

It had been decided that everyone who was supposed to have graduated that year would have to take their 7th year over again. Considering more then half the population had not had any kind of education this was viewed as fair.

At this very moment the boy who lived and triumphed was enjoying the company of a few of his favorite friends. It was the night before they were to take the train from platform 9 ¾ towards their last year at Hogwarts. As a group they were celebrating the fact that they were going to finally have a normal school year. They had all moved to Harry's temporary house at Grimauld Palace, with much protest from some parents, namely Mrs. Weasley. Harry was in the process of rebuilding Gordic's Hallow where he was hoping to live once he had graduated.

It wasn't a lively party just a get together with close friends. At this moment Ron and Neville were enjoying a game of wizard chess while Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Luna were playing an intense game of exploding snaps.

Life had been normal for Harry, for the first time in his life. He no longer needed a guard everywhere he went. He didn't have to worry about being murdered when he turned the corner. People still attacked him…but it was to thank him and hug him. He'd had many marriage proposals, which Ginny did not approve of. But still life was relatively normal now.

Not too long after the final battle had Harry personally gone to get his only remaining family and inform them that the danger to their lives had left and they were free to go back home. If they were to do so Vernon's job was available for him to start up again as if he had never left. He then said his good byes and left. He had no intention to ever see them again. And he assumed they had no intentions of seeing him again, either. Before he left Dudley had given him a hug thanked him for all he had done and apologized for the torment he had subjected Harry to for so many years. Everyone was happy, especially Harry.

Hermione had traveled to collect her parents and fix their memory. They were furious with her for awhile but they quickly forgave her. Hermione brought her parents to the Burrow to visit everyone and now Hermione's parents and Ron's parents have weekly dinners together.

Harry and Ginny were back together again, no surprise there. Ron wasn't too big on the idea but he was a little busy with his own life to bother Harry to much about snogging his sister. As long as they weren't too obvious about their relationship in front of Ron he did not mind all too much. He did prefer his baby sister dating Harry than anyone else. But if Ron could have it his way no one would ever even look at her.

A tapping could be herd from the closest window. Hermione got up to see what it was. As she pushed back the curtain she found Pig carrying a large box.

"What is it 'mione," asked Ron, who had just check mated Neville. Neville was not happy about that even though it hadn't come as much of a surprise as Ron was prince of chess.

"Seems as if George wants us to spice up our party with some new products that he's created," answered Hermione as she walked back to the table they were using to play their various games.

"Well go on open it up. Maybe he's finally completed the shoes that allow you to hover above the ground," Ginny said moving closer to the box.

"I'm not opening it I wouldn't put it past George to put some kind of curse on the first person to open it," Hermione said stepping away from the box.

"Alright fine I'll open it. I've definitely experienced worse then what George might decide to throw at us," Harry said as he grabbed the box. He removed the brown paper that had been covering the box and removed the top. Gray smoke came out of it but nothing happened to Harry. Everyone had stopped to watch Harry to see what would happen, as if he would sprout a horn or have a pig nose but nothing happened. It took Harry about 30 seconds to figure out what had happened. Hermione had COWARD written on her forehead. He couldn't contain himself he immediately burst into laughter. The others, save for Hermione, quickly found the source of Harry's amusement and joined in.

"I don't understand what's so funny," Hermione huffed crossing her arms across her chest looking unhappy.

"You have coward written on your forehead, Hermione," Ginny informed her while Luna conjured a mirror for her. A look of horror spread across Hermione's face as she grabbed the mirror.

"I hate your brother Ginny," Hermione said shoving the mirror away from her.

"Hey," Ron said clearly hurt.

"Don't be stupid Ron. You know I'm talking about George. Can't he do something better with his life then writing coward on peoples foreheads," Hermione complained as she attempted to scrub the words off her head with a handkerchief she had in her pocket.

"Hey, there's a note!" Neville exclaimed sticking his hand in the box. He pulled it out with a piece of parchment and long red nails in tow. "Aw, man does he ever stop? Do we have to check for booby traps everywhere?"

"Red nails really suit you Neville I think you should start painting you nails more often," Harry smiled taking the note from Neville.

"Shut up! What does the note say?" asked Neville.

"The note says,

Dear my darling friends,
Hermione stop rubbing your face your just engraving coward farther into your skin. I'm assuming it was Hermione who refused to open the box and therefore got hit by my spell. If it wasn't her then whoever is rubbing their forehead that's not going to work. You're just going to have to let it wear off. Don't worry it should be gone before you have to board the train tomorrow morning. I have sent you guys my newest invention. I would like for you guys to try it and see what you think before I put it on the shelves. It's a board game kind of like the ones muggles like to play. The instructions come with the game. Have fun.

Love,

George W.

"A board game! I love board games." Hermione exclaimed as she pulled out the game. As she folded it open 6 figures appeared all of which looked like their respected players.

"Well, so far this is a pretty awesome game," stated Harry as he examined his playing piece. "He even has the same kind of wand I have! So what's the point of the game?"

"Well, you start here at the Entrance Hall. Wait a second. This is a replica of Hogwarts. Very impressive…Here are the instructions." Hermione said as she pulled a piece of paper from under the board. Peeves has stolen 5 of your precious items and have hidden them throughout Hogwarts. Travel around the castle to find your missing items. But be very careful many dangers hide behind every wall. The first to find all their items wins."

"Sounds fascinating," said Luna. "Shall we play?"

"This doesn't seem very Georgeish...it's a bit to not prank oriented," said Ginny wearily as she stared at the mini Hogwarts sitting on the table.

"Oh come on Ginny it'll be fun," said Neville. "Who starts?"

As he said that six slips of paper popped out and floated to each person. Each slip stated the 5 items that they had lost and now had to find. A bright light was coming from the board and quickly consumed the room the six of them were sitting in. Harry felt the sensation of falling forward. It happened so quickly. All Harry could here were the screams of his friends and the rush of the wind as they fell towards the floor. Although he couldn't see he remembered that Ginny had been sitting to his right. He quickly stretched his arms out to find her. His hands made contact with her hip and he wrapped his arms around her. Not to long afterwards their bodies landed on cold stone floors.

"Told you there was something off about the game," said Ginny as she sat up Harry's arms still around her waist. "I guess we literally have to walk around the castle and find these items." She picked up her card and looked at it.

"Professor Dumbledore that just can not happened," a voice, which sounded remarkably like Professor McGonagall, could be heard from farther down the corridor.

"He even put in professors. I must say this is an impressive show of magic," Hermione could not resist saying. Ron rolled his eyes, "Wonder if we are supposed to avoid them…like they're the obstacle in the game?"

"Leave it to Hermione to talk about a person's magic skills and not about the fact that we have been sucked into a game," laughed Ron. Just then a much younger looking Professor McGonagall and a very alive Professor Dumbledore turned the corner, when they spotted the gang still sitting on the floor they immediately stopped.

"Why, Mr. Potter, what are you doing here? And who are your new friends?" asked Dumbledore smiling at the group of people on the floor, his eyes twinkling like they used to.

"Course, he remembers you but none of us…figures," complained Ron angrily.

"You know school doesn't start until tomorrow? Where are your other friends? I don't think I've ever seen you with out Mr. Black." This stunned the group of six who had finally left the cold hard ground to the more comfortable position of their feet.

"What did you say sir?" asked Harry thoroughly confused; there was no possible way that Dumbledore ever thought that Sirius Black was never not with him. Sirius was dead.

"Sirius Black, your best friend where is he. I herd he moved in with you and your parents this summer," Dumbledore said smiling. Harry looked as though he had been hit in the stomach. Hermione and Ginny gasped at this statement. Ron and Neville looked confused as a result of this gasp. Luna was the only left with speaking abilities.

"Sirius Black no longer goes to school. Unless he comes here for singing lessons," commented Luna. This caused Dumbledore to look confused. Harry made a mental note to congratulate Luna on confusing Dumbledore even if it was just a made up version of him. The said professor quickly recovered and looked at Harry. It didn't take him long to see that his eyes were not hazel but green.

"You aren't James Potter are you?" he asked.

"James Potter....you have got to be kidding me! What in the world kind of game is this? I think George might have over done himself" Harry said slightly in a panic.

"What year is this?" asked Hermione.

"Why do you ask? What a silly question."

"Are we in the 70s?" Hermione supplied. Dumbledore smiled.

"At least you know that much." Dumbledore chuckled to himself. Harry's face had turned to one of horror, so had Neville's as he had finally figured out what was happening. Dumbledore's eyes traveled across the group of new comers. Most of them seemed at least some what familiar but not the girl who had just asked the question. She also seemed to have cowards written on her face. Dumbledore found this very peculiar. "Why is it that you have coward written on your forehead?"

Hermione turned so red it could have put any Weasley to shame. She quickly covered it up with her hand and answered, "Just a little prank. It'll be gone by tomorrow." She said hoping that this was the case.

"Umm, well your right. He's not James Potter. He's Harry James Potter," Hermione supplied seeing as most of the rest of the group where still processing the fact that they had gone back in time. "I think we might have somehow traveled back in time. Though how, I have no clue."

"Well this is a very interesting situation. I've never herd of people traveling so far into the past. You all seem to be 7th years would I be correct in that assumption?" Dumbledore asked.

"Yes, that would be accurate."

"Well follow me to my office and we will sort this out. I must add I haven't the faintest clue as to how you got here but I will help you find away to get back home. Until then I feel you should continue your education here in this time. I'm sure the curriculum hasn't changed much in the past few years considering they haven't changed in over a century." Dumbledore smiled his eyes twinkling as they seem to always do. "Oh, what houses are you all in?"

"Well the majority of us are in Gryffindor," supplied Luna, "I'm not but I wouldn't mind being a Gryffindor for this stay. I'd prefer to be with the rest of the group considering the situation."

"That sounds fine to me" Dumbledore nodded. "Professor McGonagall. Would you please make the necessary adjustments to the dorm rooms of your house?"

"Certainly," the young looking McGonagall quickly left the headmaster's side after one last look at Harry. She seemed to be in a hurry to get away in fact. Almost as if she was uncomfortable around them.

"Follow me," Dumbledore called as they begin walking towards his office. First off I think we will have to change some of you guy's names. It's pretty obvious that you are James Potter's son, while you two must be Weasleys. Any desired separations? It might be easier the more related you guys are to each other."

"I'll take Granger as a last name. I can be Hermione's twin," Harry said immediately. "Ginny and Ron can stay together. How about Weasel as a last name." Harry smirked at the two siblings. Ginny glared at him.

"Hah, I think we'll go with Wise!" smiled Ron smug with himself. Hermione snorted at this.

"Wise, what a wise choice," Dumbledore laughed at his sad attempt on a play on words. "That's fine what about you two. You guys look to different to be siblings."

"I'll just shorten my last name to Love and I'm sure Neville has no problem shortening his to Long, though Bottom wouldn't be too bad either...," offered Luna. They stopped in front of the gargoyle that leads to Dumbledore's office. He said the password and they continued on.

"Perfect. Lemon drop?" everyone shook their heads, "Now we will offer all supplies you need. Hogwarts always has extra supplies for students who can't afford them. You can just pay the school back when you return to your time. I'm assuming you don't have any items with you?"

"No sir, just our wands and the clothes on our backs," Ron told the headmaster.

"Well then before the other students come to school tomorrow we shall go on a shopping trip at Hogsmeade. I'm in need to do some shopping myself so I think I will join you all. I will introduce you guys as students who have been homeschooled for the past 6 years but your teacher was no longer able to teach and you all were sent here for your last year of schooling. You can work out more details later. It might be best to stick to the truth as often as you can. How does that sound?" asked Dumbledore.

"Just fine," smiled Hermione.

"Well then I suggest you all go and get a good night sleep. You have a long day ahead of you," Dumbledore said before shooing them out of his office.

"Well here goes our NORMAL last year of school," sighed Harry. Ron just patted him on the back not knowing what to say.

Hope you guys enjoyed it. And I hope the next chapter will be up soon. Please review I'd love that. The next chapter Harry meets his parents and other chaotic things happen.
