Chapter One
Harry was sitting in potions class working on a potion, he knew he wasn't doing to good job with the potion. The potion was supposed to be a light blue, but instead it was a dark purple. Slughorn came over to look at the potion with a small sigh of disappointment.
"I'm sorry," Harry quickly said, "must of mixed up some of the ingredients."
"It's alright, Harry," Slughorn said, "I know you have been under alot of stress. Just put the vile on my desk."
Harry nodded his head as Slughorn went to check other potions. Harry filled up a small vile. He was about to take it to Slughorn's desk when the cauldron lifted up off the table and the potion was dumped out all over Harry's head. The slytherin's in the class started laughing.
"Hope you enjoy that Potter," Malfoy said, putting his wand away.
Harry didn't seem to listen, he started to feel really weird and the room started to spin. He heard someone scream as he fell to the ground knocked out. He woke up a few minutes later to find the dungeon completely empty. He stood up and looked around. On the table it looked like someone had been ready to start a potion but had left. He left the dungeon to go look for Ron and Hermione. He entered the Great Hall and saw a red headed girl, who he thought might be Ginny. He sat down next to her.
"Ginny, have you seen your brother?" Harry asked.
The girl he called Ginny turned to him, giving him an evil look.
"I'm not Ginny," she nearly yelled, "if you think pretending to confuse me with some other girl will help, it won't."
Harry quickly stood up and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you were someone else."
Harry quickly ran out of the Great Hall and straight into a boy with shoulder length black hair. Harry fell to the ground, while the boy laughed at him.
"Good one, Prongs, "he said still laughing.
Harry quickly stood up and recognized the boy. He had seen a picture before, it was Sirius. Harry quickly ran past him to go find Dumbledore so he could help him. He had no idea where he was.
Future
James woke up in the hospital wing surrounded by people he did not recognize.
"He's awake," someone said.
"Please back away from Mr. Potter," Poppy quickly said, rushing over there, "he needs his rest. Everyone can visit him later."
Everyone said goodbye, but James didn't say goodbye to any of them. He had no idea who they were. Poppy gave him a potion, which he quickly drank before sitting up in the bed. Soon McGonagall came into the hospital wing to check up on James.
"Finally," James said, looking at McGonagall, "someone I know. Who the heck were all those people?"
McGonagall looked James up and down and knew right away that it wasn't Harry.
"How did you get here?" McGonagall asked.
"I was in potions about to do the assignment that Slughorn gave us, when I was hit by something," James said, rubbing the back of his head, "where am I?"
"Not where you're supposed to be," McGonagall sighed, "I don't know how yet, but you're in the future."
James gave her a funny look like he didn't believe her. He stared at her for awhile, but realizing that she must of been telling the truth.
"So if I'm here, what does that mean?" James asked.
"There was a potions accident today," McGonagall said, "it must of sent Harry back in time and somehow brought you here. For the time being, you will need to pretend to be Harry."
McGonagall pulled out her wand and waved it around. James's eyes changed to green and a lightning bolt scar appeared on his head. McGonagall looked him over one more time with a small smile.
"I will sort this out," McGonagall said, "for now you have to pretend to be Harry. You're friends are Ron, Ginny, and Hermione. You're on the quidditch team as seeker. Good luck."
James just nodded his head and laid back down. Poppy came back over to him and said he was good enough to go. He left the hospital wing and went down to the Great Hall where he was greeted by Harry's friends.
"Is everything alright?" Hermione asked, looking him over, "potion didn't do any damage."
"No," James said, "I feel just fine."
"That's good," Ron said with a sigh, "thought you might miss the game this saturday."
"Well, I won't," James with with a smile, "Why don't we go eat dinner, I am starving."
They headed into the Great Hall, the only thing going through James's mind though was how long was he going to be there and what happened to Harry.
Past
Harry had made it up to Dumbledore's office, who didn't seem to surprised to see him.
"Good day, Mr. Potter," Dumbledore said with a smile, "I have already been informed of the situation that we find ourselves in. Not to worry, I assure you, it will be resolved."
"What am I to do until then sir?" Harry asked, looking very confused and worried.
"You shall go about your day as normal as possible," Dumbledore said, "just remember, you are now James, for now. Be careful not to reveal anything about the future, or there can be grave changes."
Dumbledore waved his wand and Harry's eyes changed and his scar disappeared. Harry nodded his head and left Dumbledore's office. He went into the Great Hall and quickly sat down by Sirius.
"About time you come to eat," Sirius said through a mouthful of food.
"Sorry," Harry said, "needed to do something really fast."
"Did you do homework?" Remus asked looking a bit shocked.
"You can say that," Harry said with a smile smile.
He looked up to see Lily walk by. She looked at him with, not giving him a nice look before looking away. He just smiled and continued to eat his food.
