(James POV)

It was beginning to get cold in the corridors as it was past curfew. As I was walking down the corridor, looking for my best friend Sirius Black, I couldn't help but let my mind wonder to the most gorgeous girl that ever set foot in Hogwarts School. She was absolutely amazing, with her fire truck red hair, flawless skin and most importantly, her stunning emerald eyes that can get you hypnotized; did I also mention that she is the smartest witch of her age. I'm totally in love with her but she doesn't seem to realise what we have and always has a go at me. Even besides that, I want her to be mine; her name is…

"POTTER!" Lily Evans screamed

I stopped in my tracks hearing the voice that I always love and turned around as I put on my winning smile and for good measure, ruffled my hair.

"Yes, my Lilyflower, what do I owe the pleasure" I asked timidly.

"You know exactly why Potter, how dare you put Severus in a body lock charm! What did he do to you that he deserved to be hexed?!" Lily screeched in my ear.

I began to get annoyed. "Firstly, I thought you weren't friends with him, secondly, he's in Slytherin and lastly, he was hexed a couple of first years and I think they were muggle born". It was probably a low move to play the muggle born card as I know Lily is muggle born so she dislikes anyone who detests them. It took no time at all for Lilt to find her voice, "well, even if he was doing that, you shouldn't have gone to hex him, you go tell Professor Dumbledore, the head boy isn't supposed to be doing stupid things like that".

Believe me, I have no idea why I became head boy, out of everyone in the whole of 7th year, he picks me. Dumbledore picks me! Unless he has lost his memory or something of me, he would know that I am not capable taking that huge amount of responsibility, sure I'm Gryffindor's quiditch captain but that's not a huge responsibility like being head boy! Dumbledore must have been off his rocker to choose me to be head boy; trouble maker, prankster, marauder. Year, like anyone else can be better than that.

The only thing I like, actually love about being head boy is because of the head girl and you guessed it, its Lily Evans.

"It wasn't a stupid thing to do, it was a very useful thing, now he won't bother anyone for the rest of the night. Plus, almost none of the Slytherin's like him cause of his greasy hair". Severus or Snivellus Snape is my mortal enemy now and for all eternity.

As I looked at her, her face was becoming the colour of her hair and she was looking at me, furious; if looks could kill, I would have been dead a long time ago. "USEFUL! How on earth was that useful Potter, you are such an arrogant toe rag that I can't believe anyone would want to go out with you!"

"Speaking of which, will you go out with me" today might be my lucky day, she might finally say yes.

"In your dreams Potter, I will never go out with you in a million years even if you were the last person on earth!" oh well, maybe another day.

As I looked at her, a smirk grew on my face, "oh Evans, I dream about you every day and think about you while I fall asleep. You are always on my mind". I know it sounds a little far-fetched but it's true! I'm totally in love with her.

Lily threw her hands up in frustration and just before she walked away, she yelled "you are such a toe rag Potter, leave me alone!"

Technically, she found me and I wasn't even looking for her, I was looking for my best friend Sirius Black. As I looked around one last time, I decided that he probably went back to the Gryffindor common room or up to the heads dorm with Remus and Peter, my other two best friends, to look for me to discuss our new prank.

I decided to head over to the Gryffindor common room to see if they're there. As I said the password to the fat lady, I was bombarded with loads of questions from my best friend Sirius.

"Where the hell have you been Prongs? I've been looking all over for you" explained Sirius. I suppose you're wondering, who the hell is Prongs and Moony? Well, I, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew have been best friends since the beginning of our 1st year at Hogwarts.

We are the pranksters of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and cause more mayhem than everyone put together in the entire school. We also have so many secrets that no one else knows about and if they did, we would probably die! Firstly, I have an invisibility cloak that's been passed on through a generation of Potters. Secondly, we have created a map that shows the whole of Hogwarts and where everyone is; we called it the Marauders map. Finally, we are illegal animagus. We became animagus' during our 5th year at Hogwarts to help Remus out as he is a werewolf; we found this out at the beginning of 2nd year. My animagus is a stag, Sirius' is a dog and Peters is a rat. That is how we came up with our nicknames.

"I've been looking for you, I thought we were going to plan our new prank on Snivellus?"

Sirius started to smirk, "year I know, Evans put me in detention with McGonagall because I hexed a couple of Slytherin's".

I was a bit taken aback after this, "really, I just saw Lily in the corridor on the 4th floor, she was yelling at me again", I said with a look of disappointment.

Suddenly, Sirius started laughing, "you didn't ask her out again did you, mate, get it in your head that she is never going to go out with you". I was a little upset that he stopped helping me get Lily.

I frowned, "mark my word Padfoot, Lily Evans will go out with me and we will get married and have lots of kids who I will teach how to fly and cause mischief and then they will get married…"

"Prongs, you're babbling like an idiot again" Sirius exclaimed.

"Sorry, I just can't help it"

Sirius sighed, "Well, at least you want to date someone, I can't get Moony to go out with anyone let alone marry her". Sirius sat back down on the couch with his feet up.

I looked around the common room and we were the only ones left in here, "speaking of which, where the hell is Moony and Wormtail?" I looked around again to make sure they weren't hiding.

"Wormtail has a detention with Filch and Moony went to the dungeons to make a timeless draft potion for extra credit" Sirius said.

Just then the portrait door opened up to reveal Remus coming in with a potion and a strange looking necklace in his hands.

Remus had a cheery smile on his face as he came over to us, "hey guys, you'll never guess what, after I finish brewing my timeless draft, I went to the owlery to send a letter to my mum when I found this hidden underneath the straw " he held up the strange necklace in front of us.

"What is it" I asked. It doesn't look like it's worth much but I have seen it somewhere before…

Remus opened his mouth to answer but Sirius beat him to it. "Wow! It's a time turner, I thought they were all at the ministry"

"They are but someone from Hogwarts must have access to them as we have one right here" Remus explained to them.

A mischievous grin appeared on my face, "do you know what the possibilities are if we have something like this, we could go to the future and find out what happens to us in 20 years!"

Remus started to look surprised, "Prongs, time turners only work if you want to go to the past not the future and anyway, you can only go back a couple of hours not a bloody 20 years" my grin started to disappear suddenly but it came back as if it never left, "okay but we can still say hi to our past selves can't we" asked Sirius.

Before Remus got to answer, Lily walked into the common room. She looked around with disappointment on her face until she saw us. "What are you guys doing, its 11:00 at night".

Before I could answer, Sirius interrupted me, "what are you doing here, shouldn't you be in your heads dorm and not wondering the castle at night" Sirius said casually.

Lily looked furious. "For your information Black, I heard two 1st year boys from Gryffindor talking about a party so I thought it would be here. Anyway, what are you guys doing?" that was when she saw the time turner in Sirius' hand.

"Black that's mine, give it back, I lost it a couple of days ago" she started pulling it away from Sirius but he refused to let go. "Finders keepers Evans, it's ours now"

"Black, give it!" I got up to help Sirius keep it away from her, this was just too good to give back to her. "Hey Moony!" I shouted, Remus was helping her get it back, "it's not ours Prongs" Remus explained. We were all pulling as hard as we could when mine and Sirius' hand slipped from the time turner causing Lily and Remus to fall backwards.

After they fell, we realised that the weight of Lily and Remus falling on top of it made the time turner break. "You idiot Potter" lily yelled thrashing her arms around when she hit Remus' timeless draft potion and spilling it over the time turner.

Suddenly, the time turner started to glow and the hands on it were spinning faster than the speed of light. Soon, a bright white light filled the room and the four of them were gone.
