Chapter1–DuelsandSurprises
"I'm bored!"
"Well then, bring yourself out of boredom, Padfoot."
"By doing what, exactly?"
The Marauders, consisting of James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew, were currently lounging under a tree near the lake at Hogwarts. And just like any other day, Remus was getting on Sirius' case about studying for his OWLs.
"How about studying for your OWLs?"
"But Remy..." Sirius moaned, "The OWLs are months away. We don't need to study in our free time, nor do our homework."
James snorted at the look of indignation on Remus' face. Just as he was about to comment, he was nudged by Peter. He looked over and noticed Peter pointing to the grounds where a group of girls were sitting – one had flaming dark red hair. James' hand immediately jumped to his hair and he ruffled it while flashing a smile at them.
"Oi! Evans!"
Lily Evans, a red head Gryffindor, was talking to her friends when she heard someone call her name. She turned and scowled. "What do you want, Potter?" she asked him as he and Peter sprinted up to them.
"What else, Evans," he replied with a boyish grin, causing many surrounding girls to giggle. "Will you go out with me?"
"Not in a million bloody years, Potter." she growled back at him, turning away with a huff.
"Are you sure Evans?" James asked again, movement in his peripheral vision catching his eye. Noticing her glare, he sighed.
"Well in that case, if you don't, I'll tell the whole school a little secret about ole' Snivelly over there."
Severus Snape, a fifth year Slytherin, froze, as he heard what Potter had said. Earlier that day Slughorn had paired him with Potter in Potions, for reasons he still did not know. Potter had seen the name he dubbed himself on the corner of his textbook, and knew without a doubt, that if Potter said anything about it publicly, he would become an outcast in his house almost within a matter of hours.
"Prongs!" Sirius and Remus had just come back from under the tree, and while Sirius sneered over at Snape, Remus went over to Peter.
"What is James talking about?" he asked. Peter looked up and said, "Well, James said he saw something Snape didn't want him to know and now he's gloating about whatever it is." Peter looked towards Lily with a slightly confused look as he continued. "I think he is trying to trick Lily into going out with him, but why would he use Snape?"
Remus sighed and looked towards James. He knew full well James was using Lily and Severus's friendship to get his way, but out of loyalty to James, Remus reluctantly kept quiet. Seeing that James was getting nowhere and Lily was about to turn away, Sirius took matters into his own hands.
Taking his wand and muttering "Sonorous" he bellowed: "GOOD AFTERNOON, FELLOW CLASSMATES! EARLIER TODAY WE DISCOVERED A LITTLE SECRET ABOUT SNIVELLOUS SNAPE! IF YOU WANT TO KNOW, COME NEAR THE BARMY POTRAIT ON THE SEVENTH FLOOR, PAST THE SINGING ARMOR, AT 7PM! HAVE A JOYOUS AFTERNOON!
"Quietus" he muttered. He looked past a grinning Peter and James to see a pale Snape walking back towards the castle.
"Brilliant!" Peter said admiringly. Sirius bowed, but Lily looked furious. Remus sighed and looked at James. "I think he took it a little far, don't you?" he asked him. "Nah," James smirked as Lily's friends dragged her away. "Just wait till you see what people will say when they find out."
At 7:00pm, a crowd of students were gathered at the 7th floor. When the Marauders showed up, the crowd fell silent. Remus was shocked to see that a good portion of the Slytherins had also come, and were wearing smirks.
"Looks like Snape isn't popular even in his house," Peter mumbled. James and Sirius looked at him and smirked as well. "Alrighty, then!" James said confidently, "The secret is-"
"POTTER!"
Everyone whirled around to see Lily running towards James, wand out and a glare on her face. Immediately, people scrambled out of the way. However, a split second later, there was a yell of "Stupefy!" and Sirius went flying 5 feet towards Lily. The crowd immediately began chanting "fight, fight, fight" repeatedly.
Remus and James turned to see Snape (Peter was still watching Lily's wand) pointing his wand at Sirius, who was now on the ground. "Sectum-" "Severus, no!" Lily cried, darting forward to knock the wand out of his hand.
The following second, several things happened. Lily grabbed Severus' wand, and James charged forward at him with a yell, Peter behind him. Soon, they had all fallen through a doorway in a tangled heap.
"James!" Remus yelled, as he hoisted Sirius onto his shoulders.
"WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"
It was Professor McGonagall. They could hear her running towards the corridor. At once, students began scurrying away and Remus charged into the room where the others were, slamming the door behind them.
Remus, Lily and Peter all listened at the door, when a scuffling noise brought their attention to the two on the floor. Severus and James were, to put it mildly, beating the crap out of each other. Their wands, next to them, lay forgotten.
"Stupefy!" two new voices yelled, and the two on floor went still immediately. A woman with wavy brown hair walked forward and made the other three students jump out of shock while the other woman sniggered behind her hand.
As James and Severus stirred, awakening from their stunned state, Lily, Peter, Sirius and Remus looked for the first time at their surroundings. They were in a room in the size of a family room, with blue carpet and crème colored walls. In the center, lay a lone book surrounded by red and gold beanbags, as well as a few green and silver pillows.
"Um...where are we?"
"This is weird..."
"Who are you?"
As Snape asked that question, everyone's eyes turned to the two women in the room. The first one stepped forward. "My name is Kristin, and my friend and I would like you to read a series of seven books about the future." her voice was slightly high but held authority. She ignored all of their winces at her slight southern accent.
"And why would we do that?" Sirius asked. "I hate reading..."
"Yeah!" said Peter
"Harry Potter?" James bellowed. Kristin gave a start, and turned. James had walked to the center and was gaping at the cover of the book. The second woman came forward and beckoned them all to the center. "Get comfortable," she said softly.
"Wait, we are NOT staying in a room with him!" Sirius bellowed, pointing at Snape.
"You think I want to be in here with YOU, you mangy mutt?"
"Snivelly!"
"Mutt!"
"Greasy Git!"
"Dung Worm!"
"ARRRGGHHH!"
"ENOUGH" Kristin shouted. "You either get along or you both die in the future, unless that's what you want." she stated coldly.
There was dead silence in the room as both Sirius and Snape had looked at her with horror.
Kristin sighed and sat down on one of the green pillows. She motioned for her friend to do the same. "My name is Sophie Raine Orion." her friend said as she sat on the red pillow. "We are, to put it simply, from an alternate universe. One in which Voldemort is dead, although Death Eaters are still roaming. However, our home can be your future if you read these books and make the right decisions, not the easy ones. Do you all understand?"
There were nods from everyone except Severus, whose eyes narrowed even as they got a good look at their hosts.
Kristin was a slim Caucasian woman with long, wavy brown hair and blue-gray eyes. Sophie was Hispanic, (although at first glance she looked white) and also slim but with straight, long, dark brown hair and greenish-gray eyes.
"Ok then!" James said happily. "Who wants to go first?"
Severus snorted, "You are as naïve as you are stupid, if you think any of this is real, Potter. Someone obviously is trying to prank us, and it is poorly executed."
Sirius shot a glare Snape's way, before retorting, "And what makes you so smart about that eh?"
Before Snape could respond, Lily cut in. "Because the only way to travel through time is through time turners, but at the most they are only supposed to go back 24 hours."
Sophie smiled. "We can offer you proof but right now the only thing we ask is to trust us, we will even give you our wands if you wish," she said, adding the second part on a whim and ignoring the piercing glare Kristin sent her way.
Severus stared at the two of them, still suspicious, but sighed and sat down beside Lily. Sophie could have sworn he muttered, "I'm only staying for Lily."
"Ok then," Lily said smiling slightly.
"Wait! Before we start, I have to ask, where are you two from?" James questioned.
Kristin and Sophie glanced at one another and started laughing. "I guess our accents do sound different, well to put it short, we are from North America."
"Right," said Lily faintly. The marauders looked shocked and Snape's eyes were narrowed again.
"Why don't I start?" Remus asked and they all got comfortable.
