Hello! I accidentally deleted this story while I was trying to edit it so here it is again edited and all.

Chapter 1:

"This is a bad idea." Lily Luna Potter muttered.

Her older brother by three years shot her a look over the book he was flicking through. Like his name sakes, James Sirius Potter had a nose for trouble his auburn hair was distinctively ruffled so as it looked like he had just rolled out of bed, which usually he just had.

"Are you a man or a mouse?" He asked his ten year old sister, her usually warm brown eyes hardened as she shot him a glare that could rival his mothers.

"Neither, I'm a girl."

"Yeah, but we all wanted to do this." He told her shooting a glance at his younger brother, Albus who was keeping watch out of the window for his parents to come back towards the house. He gave a distracted nod.

After coming back from his first term at Hogwarts Albus had decided that he wanted to learn more about the Battle of Hogwarts instead of the small summed up version his parents had given to him before he left for Hogwarts. After asking his dad and being told that they'd tell him when he became of age he had turned to his brother who was the master at getting things he shouldn't and James too was curious about the War that his mother and father had been so heavily involved in.

The brothers had come up with a plan that involved breaking into their father's office to get more information. Lily had overheard them a few days before the pan had been set into motion and had decided that she wanted to learn about it so as she would be fully aware of what her families past was when she went to Hogwarts. After carefully evaluating the situation and realizing that Lily was a Daddy's girl and that she would probably snitch on them the first chance she got they let her in on the plan.

They had created the master plan. Five days before Christmas Harry and Ginny would go out to the garden after breakfast and choose a tree from the bottom of the garden and bring it back to the house for the children to decorate. They had planned it down to the minute and had even planned a distraction in case they came back before mission complete.

Albus was stationed by the window on lookout duty, Lily was searching the desk drawers and James was looking through the book shelf. Their plan was simple, find any information relating to the war and take it with them. It was a law in the Potter house that unless there was an absolute emergency Harry wasn't to go into his office on tree decorating day. This gave them enough time to read through the information and then return it after dinner before they turned the lights on the Christmas tree on, they had picked the lock with a muggle hair pin, a trick their Uncle George had taught James. (Ginny had gone mental when she'd found out and had put her famous bat bogy hex back into action.)

"Jamie," Lily asked. "What's this?" She asked holding up a necklace with a sand clock as a pendant. James shrugged and pulled it out her hand.

"Not sure," He said distractedly holding it up to the light. "It looks like a necklace."

Lily jumped to try and tug it out of James hand which was above the point that she could reach.

"James give it back!" She yelled.

"Why should I?" He asked his cocky attitude shining through. Albus tore his gaze away from the window to see his older brother taunting his sister by holding the mysterious object above his head.

"James. Give it her back." Albus reprimanded him.

James scoffed and pocketed the necklace before turning back to look at the book shelf. Lily who was still at the age where if she was mad or scared she couldn't control her magic, stomped her foot, her face turning the famous Weasly red with anger. It was to all the siblings surprise when the time turner flew out of James pocket and hit the wall.

"What the heck Lily." James yelled as he looked at the now broken necklace on the floor; the sand had spilled out of the necklace. The siblings locked eyes as the sand started glowing.

"Hold hands." Albus shouted grabbing Lily's hand and James wrist. "We don't know what this thing does."

"Jamie." Lily screamed as a strange tingling feeling passed through her body. As the siblings tightened grips on each other they all disappeared from their fathers study.

…

To say the order of the Phoenix were surprised when three children landed in the hallway of their secret headquarters would be an understatement.

The Order meeting had just finished and the children residing at Grimmuand Place had sat down at the table to eat the Shepherd's Pie that Mrs. Weasly had prepared with the Order members that had decided to stay for dinner when a large THUMP sounded from the hallway.

Within milliseconds the order members had pulled out their wands and were on their way to the hall the children following them despite the warning from Mrs. Weasley as she had rushed out the room.

The strangers that had landed in their hall didn't seem to notice that they had an audience as they all stood up and the tallest one pulled the smallest girl with a mane of red hair into a hug as she sobbed into the his jumper, that looked suspiciously like a Weasley jumper.

"What did I do?" She sobbed. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to." She repeated over and over again.

The shortest boy looked round and gasped as he saw over ten wands pointed at them.

"What's up Al dropped your book?" The other boy asked as he turned round and saw the crowd. "Now that's a problem." He sighed as he pushed the girl and other boy behind him.

"Who are you?" Remus asked them, he was at the front of the group with Sirius and Tonks on either side of him, the rest of the Order strategically placed behind. "Put the wands away boys." He told them as they pulled them out as soon as they realised they had got company. "We don't want to hurt you." He had noticed that two of the boys looked like Harry and if the state the girl was in was anything to go by they didn't mean them any harm.

"That's good because we don't want to use underage magic and hurt you." The younger looking boy told them however he didn't lower his wand. He had dark black hair that was looked like it was never brushed the state of that alone nearly sent Molly Weasley into a frenzy. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans and a t-shirt that said 'I'm with stupid.' With an arrow pointing left, which was the side the other boy was standing on. His green eyes sparkled with worry as he wrapped an arm around the girl, who buried her face in his top, tears streaming down her face.

"Daddy's going to be really upset with me. I'm sorry, James upset me and…" She trailed off sobbing hysterically.

"Don't worry Lil's." The younger boy told her, fishing a tissue out of his pocket and wiping her eyes, "You're going to ruin your dress the amount of bogeys flying out of this." He said tapping her on the nose. The girl laughed and buried her face in his shirt again.

"Sure she'll laugh for you." The boy in the Weasly jumper said.

"Because I'm her favourite." His brother replied sticking his tongue out. Remus cleared his throat.

"Oh yeah, JAMES!" He yelled making the order members jump at his sudden change of volume. "WHAT POSSESSED YOU TO DO THAT!"

James had the decency to look ashamed as he eyed the people in front of him.

"Oh Merlin's pants. It was a time turner." He said. "I'm guessing," He continued eyeing Sirius Black and his parents who he could see just past the order members. "It's what 1995, maybe early '96 at the latest." He said. Albus glanced at him uncertainly.

"How'd you get that?" He asked. James jolted his head towards the escaped mass murderer and then pointed to the order.

"Ok, so…" James continued, "We come in peace and all that." He told them, "Lily, you ok bug?" He asked another muffled sob came from Albus' t-shirt and he shrugged, "I'll take that as a yes." He told them cheerfully. "Now can we move from the hallway because it's really depressing in here." He said. However James's natural charm didn't seem to reassure the order.

"Tell us something that proves that you're not enemies." Kingsley said, James got a look on his face that Harry said looked like Ron when he was trying to concentrate on a particularly hard spell. Albus seeing this decided to take pity on his brother.

"This, if James is right, is 1995 and I'm guessing you are the Order of the Phoenix and you," he said pointing at Sirius, "Are Sirius Black escaped mass murderer, which you were framed for, Da.. I mean Harry and Hermione helped you escape using a time turner," He broke off and glared at James, "And a stolen Hippogriff called Buckbeak who is upstairs." He finished. Sirius nodded and then grinned, his eyes lingering on James, "Who are you lot then?" He asked. James grinned,

"Well, sir I'm glad you asked."

….

Back in the future Ginny and Harry Potter walked into their house to find it unusually quiet.

"Kids!" Harry yelled, keeping his eye on the large Christmas tree he and his wife were levitating. There was no reply from their children. He flashed a look to his wife who shrugged her face dramatically loosing colour.

"KIDS!" He yelled again, "This isn't funny, do you not want to decorate the tree." Worry now lacing his voice he and Ginny lowered the tree and ran up the stairs.

Once they got to the top they realized that Harry's office door was open. "Really kids." He said weakly.

At the same time his wife said, "I hate Christmas."

Stepping into the room both of them looked around and saw nothing out of place, until Harry looked across the floor and saw the time turner. It was one of the three he had brought back from work just last week after Hermione had completed her modifications, she too had got several too test it and sign off as safe for use just as he had. Bending down he noticed that the time turner's sand was half full, and sighed banging his head off the wall.

"Gin, don't panic." He started in a tone that suggested it was a perfect time to panic. "But I think our children have gone back in time."

Ginny's mouth dropped open as her eyes welled with tears, "Harry," She said taking his hands in hers, "Please tell me this is a cruel joke and the kids are going to jump out in a minute." He shook his head slowly and a tear escaped Ginny's eyes. "Then let's get them back." She said firmly. Harry nodded in determined agreement.

"But we're going to have to go back as well, I'm not going to lie, Ginny they could be at Hogwarts 1998." Ginny sobbed. "But it won't matter we can fix this. Go get some things packed for them, we don't know how long we're going to be." Ginny nodded and Harry planted a soft kiss on her cheek before grabbing a bag and pulling things in bag left right and centre as Ginny rushed out the office to pack a bag.

…

Albus Severus Potter was not someone who scared easily, Merlin he had grown up with James whose main pass time was trying to scare the wits out of his younger siblings, but to say he was petrified now would be an understatement. He couldn't help but think it was all his fault , after all it was him who had talked James into looking in their fathers office, although his brother hadn't needed much persuading, now thanks to said brother they were stuck in the past for the foreseeable future.

"Right then," Sirius said, once he had led all three strangers through the house and into the kitchen, the Order members and the teenagers all sat in the seats that they had so quickly departed earlier that evening. The Potters stood at the head of the table Lily in the middle holding Albus' hand with James armed wrapped around her small shoulders. "Names, age, Hogwarts houses, and maybe parents…" He said casting a hopeful glance towards his own godson. James nodded and turned to his siblings.

"You first bug." He ordered lifting her up and putting her on the table so as they could see her. Lily glared at him as her feet hit the table, her added height scary resemblance to his mother made James recoil a little bit as he removed his hands from her waist.

"Don't touch me or I'll tell daddy." She bluffed, James scoffed, she smirked and turned back to her audience, James openly shivered he'd just had a flashback to the last time his mother had told him off.

"My names Lily Luna Potter." She grinned and waved at her dad.

Harry who before now had been eyeing the three children with suspicion had turned extremely pale as he took in her appearance and then the boys that were stood just behind her, that taken with her name backed up the children's story that they were in fact from the future and by the looks of it his children.

"Hey daddy." She waved sweetly as her father and watched as all of the people in the room turned to look at him in shock. "I'm 10 years old and I want to be in Gryffindor," Feeling like this wasn't enough information she felt the need to add, "I want a dog but dad said no, he says I can have an owl though when I go to Hogwarts." She pouted and jumped down from the table. The Order laughed at the sweet girl who had sat herself back down on her eldest brother's lap.

James was glad that she had stopped crying and wrapped his arms round her waist securing her on his knees and aimed a kick at Albus, telling him to get up.

"Ok, I'm not getting on the table." He told the room as a whole, earning several laughs.

But before he could start there was yet another loud bang from the hallway and a whisper of muffled voices. It was with a laugh James said, "It's like bloody King's Cross station in here today. 5 Galleons says its mom and dad."

Before realizing the severity of what he had just said and paling significantly.

Ok so nothing new there if you've read this before. The next few chapters should be up within the next few hours.
