It's All a Thing of the Past

Summary: Harry and Hermione have been married for fifteen years and have sixteen-year-old twins, Lily Anne, and Blake James. They have a rocky marriage, due to the reason they had gotten together in the first place. After a huge mistake one night before they were married, Harry and Hermione were tied by a bond that would reveal itself in nine months. You could tell that they really didn't want to be with each other, but stayed together for the sake of their children. After a fight between their parents one evening after their parents' fifteen-year wedding anniversary, which was a total bust, Lily and Blake go back in time to try and make their parents fall in love with each other. But the whole plan backfires when things don't go exactly the way they're supposed to.

Chapter 1: The Way Things Are

Disclaimer: For this chapter, and all future chapters, I'm just going to say, I don't own Harry Potter, nor would I say I did.

Lily Potter watched her parents at the anniversary party that she, her brother, and her parents' friends had thrown them for their fifteenth wedding anniversary. They were dancing, smiling, or even talking to each other. They just politely talked to other people, just making references to their spouse. That was the way things were for all of Lily's sixteen years of life. Lily sighed and bounced in her chair, causing her brother's attention to turn to her. Blake said,

"What's your problem?"

"They're my problem. C'mon, it's their fifteenth anniversary, the least they could do is talk to one another."

"Well, it's like this every year, so don't be surprised if the next time we throw them a party for their anniversary, that they do the same thing." He leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. Lily looked at her brother. If it wasn't for the seventeen-year age difference between him and their father, you could've sworn they were twins. The only physical trait that separated them was the eyes. Blake had his mother's chocolate brown eyes. Lily was the exact opposite of her brother. She looked almost identical to her mother; only she had bright green eyes like her father. Though in both teenagers, you could see both parents' traits in their faces and bodies. Blake closed his eyes and ruffled his hair that was just as messy and black as Harry's. Lily said,

"I wish there was a way that we could make them have a better relationship." Lily looked back over at her brother, who hadn't moved or made any attempt to show he was listening. Lily reached over and smacked her brother on the back of the head. Blake opened his eyes, and glared at his sister.

"What the hell did you do that for?"

"Pay attention to me."

"Good God, Lily, you sound like mum."

"Well, pay attention."

"What do you want?"

"I said I wish there was some way for them to have a better relationship."

"The only way you could do that is to go back in time and make them fall in love with each other."

"That's it! Blake, you're a genius!"

"What?"

"We can go back in time!"

"How?"

"We can use a time turner."

"I thought you could only go back hours with one of those."

"No, you can go back days and years if you want. Will you go with me?"

"I guess." Later that evening, Hermione sent Lily and Blake upstairs to collect dirty laundry. When they went into their parents' room, they saw two beds on opposite sides of the room. Blake said,

"Wonder how long it's been since they did that."

"Probably since we've been old enough to understand why they don't have the perfect relationship. The sooner we leave, the better, I'm tired of living like this, with parents that don't even love each other." They collected the laundry and brought it downstairs. Around midnight, Lily had stolen her mother's time turner that she used every once in a while when she had too much stuff to do at one time. Lily and Blake stood in the middle of Lily's bedroom, the chain around both their necks and Lily set it to years, and said,

"Ok, how far do we have to go back?"

"Let's go back before their "one night stand". That way they don't have a reason to get married yet."

"Ok, so seventeen years?" Blake nodded, and Lily set the time turner to seventeen years and they were transported back to the time where their parents were the same age as them, where Voldemort was still at large, where every little thing they did could have an effect on the future.
