2019 (James Sirius's POV)
I, James Sirius Potter was bored, extremely bored actually. I, Roxanne, Dominique, and Fred were lounging in the Gryffindor common room together. I probably should've been studying but instead I was seeing how long it would take for a quill to ignite while shooting sparks at it with my wand. Dom was tossing an ink bottle around in the air and I had a feeling she was going to miss pretty soon and the ink would fly everywhere. Fred had stolen Lily's pygmy puff and was trying to get it to eat a puking pastille. And Roxie, well Roxie was being Roxie and actually studying. It was one of the most boring Sundays in the history of Sundays. That is until the visitors came…
1975 (No one's POV)
"Hey Evans!" James Potter called, Sirius and Remus following behind him looking somewhat exasperated. Peter was visiting his Mom in St. Mungos, she was quite ill.
Lily Evans turned back and gave them all a dirty look, "What do you want Potter? No wait, don't answer that question." She added glaring.
"Just wanted to comment on how pretty your necklace is!" he said. Lily glanced at her necklace, which happened to be a time turner.
"Is that a time turner?" Remus asked, sounding amazed.
The red headed girl sighed, "Yes, but don't you dare-" it was too late. James, being James, swiftly grabbed the time turner off her neck like grabbing the snitch. "Give it back!" she yelled at him, plunging her hand into her robes for her wand.
"Keep your hair on Eva-" Sirius started but she lost her patience and lunged for the time turner. It fell out of James's hand and fell to the floor with a shattering crunch. There was shocked silence and almost immediately sand started swirling around them. In a flash the three marauders and Lily were gone.
2019 (James from the past's POV)
My quill was just igniting when four people appeared in the common room. Fred jumped up and yelled in surprise, accidentally throwing Jim the pygmy puff across the room. Dominique stopped tossing the ink bottle around but Roxanne didn't even look up from her book.
A girl who looked a lot like Lily only with darker red hair and green eyes yelled, "YOU IDIOT! WHAT'D YOU DO?" A boy with long, dark hair rolled his eyes.
"Hey, it wasn't my fault you tried to grab it from my hands!" another boy protested.
I stared at him in shock. He was an exact copy of me! Same eyes, same messy black hair, same guilty look. I looked over at my friends, Fred looked as if he were rather enjoying the show. Roxanne had finally stopped reading her book and was watching the strangers with a little frown on her face. Dom was just staring with her mouth wide open.
"Well if you hadn't stolen it in the first place this wouldn't have happened!" the girl shouted back.
"HEY!" Roxanne yelled unexpectedly. The four strangers turned around and caught sight of us. For a few seconds there was silence.
Finally Dom spoke, "No offense but who the hell are you people? And why do you look exactly like James?" she asked, directing her question at my look alike.
"I am James!" my look alike said suspiciously.
"What? No, I'm James!" I protested.
"Hold up! I'm confused! I'm pretty sure this," the boy with long dark hair pointed at my look alike, "is James."
"Everyone shut up!" Roxanne yelled. The room fell silent. "Alright, now who are you people?"
"Sirius Black, the awesome!" the boy with long dark hair said.
The girl with dark red hair rolled her eyes, "Lily Evans." She said.
"Remus Lupin." The sandy haired boy said.
"James Potter." My look alike said firmly, "The only James Potter."
Dom dropped her ink bottle and black ink went all over the carpet. Roxanne started siphoning it off muttering something like, "Knew this would happen…"
Finally Fred spoke up, "You're joking right? Because it's not funny." He said to my surprise because usually he's joking.
"No. Why would we be joking?" Lily asked curiously. Before anyone could respond both Remus and Roxanne gasped loudly at the same time.
"The time turner! When it broke-" started Remus but Roxie interrupted him, "It broke? Then you must've- but that's impossible-" Roxie said but Remus started again, "Not unless the sand-it went all over the place-" Remus said as Roxie took over, "Oh! The sand! I saw it, that's why you must've come forward-" they both seemed to come to a sudden conclusion as they exclaimed, "Yes!" at the same time.
"So are you two done with your mental telepathic findings yet?" Fred asked, annoyed.
"And would you mind sharing? Because none of us really got any of that." Dominique said sweetly with a look like she was about to start shouting.
"Well when Li-" Remus broke off at Lily's glare, "I mean James-" he ignored James's cry of protest, "broke the time turner all the sand came out. Which means it could even take us forward years and years in time. So basically we're in the future." He finished much to Lily's horrified looks.
"2019 to be exact." Roxanne added unhelpfully.
"Awesome!" yelled Sirius.
"Are you mad? This is awful! How are we supposed to get back? This is all your fault!" Lily shouted at James.
"My fault? You're the one who-" Remus interrupted their argument, "Would you both please keep it down? You're giving me a migrane." He said wearily. James immediately quieted, but Lily just broke off with a loud, "Tuh!"
"So." James said trying to break the awkward silence, "Why do you look so much like me?" he asked, wondering if he actually wanted to know.
"I, ummm well-" Ibroke off as James interrupted, "You're not my son right? I mean I wouldn't name my son after me. That'd just be conceited."
Lily muttered under her breath, "You are conceited."
"I'm not your son-" Itried again as James sharply exhaled, "I'm your grandson." I finished grimacing as James sharply inhaled.
There was a long silence when Sirius spoke up, "Awesome! Mini prongs!" Everyone gave him funny looks.
"So who do I marry then?" asked James interestedly, casually glancing at Lily meaningfully.
Irealized I should've counted on this question, "Damn it."
