A/n: Hi readers. If you can remember two years ago, you might recognize this story. I took it down for several reasons but now I've decided to edit it and repost. I plan on updating this story on a weekly basis. Enjoy the story.
Disclaimer- I don't own Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling does.
The day was average for July; warm with a slight breeze to alleviate the heat. Harry and Ginny were away on business, leaving their teenage children at home to entertain themselves.
"You bloody git!" The shriek came from the upper levels of the Potter house and following it was the sound of heavy footsteps and a messy black-haired figure flying down the main staircase. He dove expertly behind the living room couch, cradling a golden something to his chest.
"James! You get back here right now!" Lily shouted, stomping down the stairs after her brother. She was dressed in her Hollyhead Harpies pajamas and her usually red hair was replaced with a turquoise afro. She stopped in front of the couch and rolled her eyes in irritation at the sight of black hair clearly visible from behind the piece of white furniture. Lily jumped over the couch, landing precisely on her brother.
"Get off me you little demon child!" James yelled.
"Change my hair back and give me the timeturner!" Lily yelled back. They wrestled around, both equally matched.
"What in Merlin's dirty socks is going on?" Albus asked as he sauntered down the stairs holding the hand of little Dora Lupin.a Dora's dad, Teddy Lupin, was on an auror mission while her mother, victoire Lupin Nae Weasley, was working long hours at St. Mungos for her residency. The Potter children were babysitting and everyone was pleased with the arrangement, especially Dora.
"Get her off!" James screamed, sounding suspiciously like a girl. Dora giggled and detached herself from Albus's grasp. She ran over to the maylay and bounced onto James and Lily. Realizing that Dora was there, Lily turned playful and began to tickle whatever flesh she could get her hands on. Dora giggled harder and James made a high-pitched keening sound that had Sirri, their black lab puppy, whimpering and darting up the stairs.
"So, what is actually going on?" Albus asked once the group disentanbled themselves. Lily's smile as she helped Dora to her feet transformed into an angry frown as she brushed her fingers through her new hairstyle.
"This sorry excuse for a person turned my hair blue and stole my timeturner," she said, her voice increasing in volume.
"It was just a prank and I've been asking you to look at the timeturner ever since McGonagall gave it to you," James protested.
"I was given specific instructions not to let you see it," Lily threw back, slowly stalking towards James with her hands stretched out. "Give it to me, James."
"Hey Dora, take this and run," James said conspiratorially as he gently tossed the golden hourglass neckless to the five-year-old. Because of her grandmother's cursed legacy, she caught the timeturner then dropped it. The glass shattered with such force that it made the furniture spin.
"Dora, grab my hand!" Albus shouted as their surroundings began to blur until it was almost pitch black. He could hear his siblings screaming and scrabbling in fear as he grasped the small hand and squeezed.
A/n- I had to edit this because my author's note got put in the middle of the story for some reason. Please review, they make me smile.
