The future is crazy
Lily was in her last year of school and of course she was made head girl. She was very talented and head of the school academically for the girls. The honor of being the top male was shared by four boys, James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Severus Snape.
Three of the four were Gryffindor the last was Slytherin.
You would think four very intelligent men could get along but they didn't. After her falling out with Severus in their fifth year she had given up trying to make them be friends with each other. She instead just enjoyed her school years and became even closer to the three smart and one not so smart Marauder. This day she went to sit with them at the Gryffindor table smiling happily. They all greeted her with happiness seeing her. "Hey guys," She sat down beside James. He slipped his arm around her waist smiling pleased. "Lily love what is happening." He asked her pulling her in close. "Not too much, I was talking with McGonagall when a third year came in. he told her that the time turner was too hard on him and wanted to turn it in." She smiled remembering the poor boys face that looked exhausted.
"Some third year had a tine turner?" Remus asked amazed by this.
"Yes apparently he wanted to experience all the classes Hogwarts had to offer." She pulled it from her pocket. "I thought how cool would it be to see the future so when McGonagall walked the boy to the door I slipped it into my pocket and figure we could see the future and return it to her before she has any idea its gone." She looked at their faces. "So, are you guys up for a different kind of adventure?"
She was not surprised by their shouts of.
"Hell yeah lets go."
"Shit yeah,"
"I am so in for this."
"Sure," was the last squeaky reply by Peter? The four left the Great Hall where Lily had found them lounging in the middle part of the table talking and eating snacks.
"Where should we go to go into the future?" Remus asked being very logical about this.
The others looked puzzled for a minute trying to decide on the best place. "How about the Shrieking shack no matter what time we go to we won't be seen by others."
"Brilliant let's go." Sirius told James. The five all marched off toward the Whomping Willow to head into the shack.
Lily was very glad she had made friends with them and knew their secrets. They made their way into the shack, smiling happily.
"So how far should we go?" Sirius asked wondering if they would see themselves as old people.
"Not sure hmmm how about into 2000 something?" Lily replied.
"Why then?" James asked curiously.
"Well some think we'll have flying cars by that time and no one will know us since we're only seventeen and we'll be in our forties and maybe we can go even farther ahead?"
"Sure lets go," James agreed standing very close to her.
The other three huddled close. Lily slipped the large gold chain around all of their necks. She fiddled with the dials before saying. "Hang on the future awaits us."
Everyone was grinning pleased.
