Do not own etc...
Just a random one shot me and my best mate came up with over the phone. Hope you like it xxx
Lily Evans wasn't the type to get into tricky situations, but getting dislodged in time with James Potter seemed to be pretty sticky to her. For the past 4 hours, she'd been trying to get the time-turner turn right, but each time it didn't work.
"Face it, Lily, it's never gonna work," James said, coolly.
"Well, what do you propose we do, Potter?"Lily huffed.
"Well, you could calm down for one,"
Lily let out a small yelp as the time-turner began to spin furiously. Everything around them went white and then they found themselves in a Hogwarts corridor.
"Ok, now we need to find out when we are," Lily said walking forward. James rolled his eyes and followed her. Eventually they came to a very short boy with a messy head of black hair and deep, piercing eyes.
"Er, hello," Lily said, nervously. The boy stared at her. James frowned.
"Not much of a talker then? What's your name?" The boy's gaze swept over him.
"I," he said, snobbishly, "am Tom Marvello Riddle,"
"Ok, tom," James said conversationally, "What year is it?"
The boy suddenly pulled his wand out. "Why are you talking to me, lowly peasant?! No-one talks to Lord Voldemort!"
James and lily looked at him blankly. "Lord volda-wah?" Lily looked at James and shrugged. Tom pointed his wand at James.
"I will put a hex on you!" He roared
"Yeah, yeah, are you sure you can reach me?" James stood at least two heads taller than Tom, as did Lily.
"Why you!" Tom shouted something and sparks flew from his wand. James tilted his head and the sparks flew right past him. "Tom, I don't think first years like you should try attacking 6th years like me,"
"First year! I am a member of staff!!!!" Tom had turned a very bright shade of red by now. James burst out laughing. Lily just looked at them both.
"But-" James laughed "you're shortest person I've ever seen. Dumbledore must have a screw lose employing you or something but I don't see how-" At this point, Tom had interrupted.
"Mark my words, you will regret ever crossing me!" and with that, he stormed off.
"Just so you know, for when you make me regret crossing you- I'm James Potter, and she's Lily Evans!" James called after him. Lily had meanwhile turned the time-turner again. It began to spin furiously and everything went white. They appeared in Gryffindor common room and saw three students sitting on the sofas in the corner. The girl, who had frizzy brown hair, was talking to the raven-haired boy.
From snatches of conversation, Lily and James could conclude that the black-haired boy was named Harry and the girl was Hermione.
"I wonder what year we're in, let's ask them," Said lily. James agreed and they started walking towards them...
So there you go! I actually want to continue it now. Maybe one more chapter, depending on what you guys want.
