It was a normal day at Hogwarts. Umbridge had decreed a new decree, after giving out detention to a few. He Dumbledore's Army had a small practice session. Harry and Malfoy had had a good fight, on nothing. Ron and Hermione had bickered on something stupid. Dumbledore had ignored Harry.
It was a normal day at Hogwarts. Until they arrived.
Harry had stayed back after the practice session of DA, looking at the photograph of the original Order of the Phoenix. His mum and Dad. Sirius. Remus. The Longbottoms. The Prewetts. McKinnons. Everybody looked so different, so full of life.
And then there was a crash behind him. Immediately whipping out his wand, Harry expected to see a few death eaters, ready to take him out. Instead, he found two boys, not much older than him, lying unconscious on the ground.
The boys wore casual clothes. Harry slowly took a step forward and looked at their faces. The left one looked like Malfoy. But he was taller. And there was no way Malfoy would ever wear muggle clothes.
The right one was the one who bothered Harry even more. He looked like Harry and wore rectangle glasses.
Holding his wand firmly, Harry muttered, "Enervate."
The two boys groaned and looked at Harry.
"J-James?" the blond asked, rubbing his eyes.
"I am here you snake!" the other boy snapped. Harry turned to look at him. The boy was a total copy of Harry.
Harry was trembling. What was going on? Polyjuice Potion? Why did they call out his father's name?
"Who-Who are you?" He asked, his hands trembling. The two boys stood up straight and looked at Harry, confused. His clone was gaping as the blond looked at Harry with a calculating look.
"Are you Harry Potter?" the blond asked. Harry nodded. The blond turned to the other boy and said, "Shit!"
Things happened in a haze after that. Harry, too scared to understand what was happening, threw his Invisibility cloak over the two boys and asked them to follow him. He tiptoed to McGonagall's office and was thankfully not stopped by anyone. Once he entered, he told the boys to pocket the cloak and come in. Harry explained the situation to McGonagall, she had flooed and called the Headmaster into her office. Now, the old man was looking at the two people in front of him with a twinkle in his eyes. Harry had refused to leave, no matter if the Headmaster was not looking at him.
"Are you really Albus Dumbledore?" the blond asked.
"Indeed I am my boy." Albus answered, stroking his beard.
The two boys looked at each other and grinned. "Wicked!"
"I may say I don't know the two of you."
"Oh but Professor!" Harry-Clone said, "I am James P-"
"I am Scorpius." The blond cut in. Harry clone-or rather James threw him a dirty look as Scorpius glared at him.
"James with that face?" Albus said, thinking. "And those eyes? You remind me of James Potter, Harry's father here. You even have the same eyes."
James grinned at that. Harry gulped. Was that boy his father? Had he somehow travelled forward in time? But what about the blond?
"I am afraid I do not know the name Scorpius." Said Dumbledore, glancing towards Scorpius.
"Sir, we are kind of from the future. 2020 to be exact." Scorpius said in one breath.
There was pin drop silence in the office following the confession. Harry's eyes widened in surprise, McGonagall took a step back and Dumbledore remained smiling.
"I see." Dumbledore said. "May I know how you travelled back in time?"
"The Room of Requirement." Said James, "Scorpius and I were fighting, we were talking about Dad-"
"We basically thought something about the past and wished we could see it." Finished Scorpius, cutting off James. "Then the door appeared, we entered and fell through and found ourselves in front of Harry Potter."
"Right when he finished the Dumbledore's Army!" James exclaimed. At looking at two surprised and two mortified faces, he added, "Which you, Professor don't know about till now."
Scorpius buried his face in his hands and Harry took a step back.
"Dumbledore's Army Harry?" Dumbledore asked, looking directly in Harry's eyes for the first time. "I must say I am touched."
"But Dumbledore…" McGonagall started but stopped when Dumbledore gave her the look.
Dumbledore turned back to Scorpius and James. "I see you aren't disclosing a lot about the future."
"My father says it is not wise to mess with time." Scorpius said, standing straight.
"You father is very intelligent." Dumbledore said, adjusting his spectacles. "Now we have to find a way to send you back."
"Um, Professor?" James timidly raised his hand. "It might not work. See, the Room of Requirement was kind of destroyed or will be destroyed in the near future and so it doesn't work so well anymore. And the time turners can't work in the opposite direction."
"Very true, James." Said Scorpius. "There is no way to get back. Even if the Room of Requirement works well now, I won't in the future."
Dumbledore stroked his bear, thinking. Harry shifted uncomfortably on his legs. Things were not going very well.
"I see." Dumbledore finally said. "Well, then we have no option but to get you here as students."
"But Dumbledore!" McGonagall finally said, "What about Umbridge?"
"Oh, it's Umbitch's year?" Scorpius said excitedly, finding himself under a horrified gaze of a Professor and two amused looks. "Um, I meant, Umbridge."
"Yes, it is." Dumbledore said, "And I am afraid we have no other choice but to get you here. Which year are you two in?"
"Fifth." The two answered together.
"And which houses are you in?"
"Slytherin." Said James.
"Gryffindor." Said Scorpius.
Harry was taken aback. The Malfoy clone in Gryffindor and his clone, possibly his son in Slytherin? The future was messed up.
"For important purposes, let us have both of you in Gryffindor for a while." Said Dumbledore. He waved his wand and Scorpius and James' clothes turned into robes. James looked at his clothes, horrified and asked, "Who wears these anymore?"
"We do." Answered Dumbledore. James nodded and turned to look at Scorpius, who was admiring every inch of his clothes.
"Harry." Said Dumbledore, "Kindly escort these students to the Gryffindor common room. Minerva, go with them. They are Scorpius Moon and James Grace from one of the other private schools who just got in due to a scholarship. Their late admittance is due to a personal matter. You are both orphans. Is that clear?"
Everybody in the room nodded. Dumbledore stood up and went to the floo, muttering something about a business to take care of. Once he disappeared, McGonagall looked at the two boys and said, "Come on."
The ride up the Common room was funny. Harry walked in a distance from the two boys who seemed like the best of friends. McGonagall walked in front, looking around as if Umbridge would suddenly pop up and start asking questions. She only took a breath once they reached the Common room.
McGonagall said the password and entered, three students following her.
"Attention everyone!"
Everyone turned to look at McGonagall and two students behind her. At once, the questions began.
"Who is the Malfoy look alike?"
"Did Malfoy clone himself?"
"Hey Harry, we didn't know you had an alive relative!"
"SILENCE!"
Immediately, the common room shut up. McGonagall cleared her throat and said, "This is Scorpius Moon and James Grace. They are transfer students from one of the private schools. They have been sorted into Gryffindor. I expect all of you to welcome them warmly and accept them."
There was momentary silence until Fred and George burst forward.
"Welcome Moon and Grace!"
"Absolutely spinning to meet you!"
"We have great work for the two of you!"
McGonagall cleared her throat as Fred and George excitedly shook hands with the two. Sparing one last look at the room, McGonagall left.
As soon as she left, people surrounded the two newcomers. Harry took the moment to slip away and go to Ron and Hermione who were waiting at a distance.
"Who are they?" asked Hermione, looking at the two. "It looks like you and Malfoy."
"I know." Said Harry. "I'll tell you about it later, there are far too many people here. Right now, I have to lead them to or dorm."
"Our dorm?" Ron exclaimed, looking worried. "There are already five people there. Where would they sleep, on the floors?"
"On Ronald!" snapped Hermione, "There used to be twenty students in each Dorm earlier."
"How did they fit?"
"By the magic of castle. It adjusts itself."
"How?"
Hermione began explaining which Ron cut off midway. Harry rolled his eyes at his friends and went back to the two new students, leading them away from the crowd.
Once they were on the stairs, James and Scorpius sighed and James said, "Thanks Da-I mean Harry."
Harry stopped midway and looked back at James. "One question, am I your father?"
James shared a look with Scorpius and nodded. Harry didn't know what to feel. He kept walking until they reached an almost empty room saving Neville.
"Hey Harry." He greeted and looked at the two new comers, who were staring at him with open mouth. "Who are these two?"
"Neville, can you go out for a while?"
Neville seemed to sense the urgency and walked out immediately, taking his book with him. Once he left, Harry went on to close the door.
"Puberty hit him well." James remarked, causing Scorpius to snort. Harry looked around and found two new beds side by side with new trunks.
"That must be your beds." Said Harry. "Go on."
James and Scorpius went on as Harry looked at them. He and Malfoy must be on talking terms if their children were so close friends.
"So, I am guessing you're Malfoy's child?"
Scorpius turned around and shrugged. "You can say that."
"What do you mean?" asked Harry. "Are you Malfoy's son or not?"
"It's….complicated." said Scorpius and opened his trunk.
"Malfoy and I must have figured out our differences." Harry remarked, lost in thought. He didn't notice two identical smirks on the time-travelers faces.
Dinner time rolled around and it was Harry's job to get them to the Great Hall. He was almost there when he heard a voice he hated the most.
"So that's my clone!"
Draco Malfoy appeared in front of Harry, with Crabbe and Goyle behind him. He cocked his head to look at Scorpius, who was clearly judging him.
"Huh! You do actually a lot like me. What are you, my son from the future?"
Harry held back an urge to snort. How true he was!
"I am definitely not your son!" said Scorpius, taking a step forward. He walked until there was no distance between him and Draco. "The Slytherin Prince, Daddy's boy, with a tagline of 'My father will hear about this'-nah, you are not worthy enough!"
Draco seemed to redden as Harry looked at Scorpius with an open mouth. James shook his head and rushed forward.
"What my friend means is-"
"Is that you better change Malfoy." Said Scorpius. "See that potter over there? He is going to kill that so called Dark Lord and then what? You will be in trouble."
Malfoy raised his fist to punch Scorpius. Scorpius easily dodged it and said, "Grow up Malfoy." And walked away.
James hurried after him and Harry, recovering after the shock, ran to him.
Catching up with him, Harry said, "I thought you said Malfoy was your father!"
"I also said it's complicated." Scorpius added.
Harry shook his head and followed the two new students.
As soon as they entered the Great Hall, every pair of eye turned to look at them. At first Scorpius and James froze but then they immediately began walking to the Gryffindor and sat down beside Hermione. Harry took a seat in front of them beside Ron.
"Hello, I am Hermione Granger, a prefect." Hermione said, smiling. "And this is Ron Weasley, a prefect."
Ron munched his chicken and waved. Scorpius and James chuckled.
"Attention everyone!"
All the heads turned to look at Dumbledore.
"We have two new students among us today-Scorpius Moon and James Chase. They have won a prestigious scholarship and will be attending this school with you all as fifth year Gryffindors. Let them feel at home!"
The Hall broke into applause. Dumbledore sat down and began talking with McGonagall. Harry looked at the Head Table to see a very flushed Umbridge.
"Umbitch's angry!" James sang, causing Ron to choke on his food and Hermione to look at them horrified. Harry grinned. He already liked the pair.
Somewhere in the future, two very worried fathers searched the castle for their sons.
Okay, so I started another story. I promise I am working on the others. What do you think of this one?
