a muggle class of twenty students sat in silence. there work punctuated only by the occasional huff from the teacher. this teacher was glaring at a girl who sat in the middle row, she had her hair short in two messy pig tails, her skin was slightly spotty and her school uniform unkempt. instead of writing like the other she was staring out of the window. the teacher huffed again, why was it that this girl still got top marks? she never did anything. the girl was doodling now, it was like she was waiting for something, 'probably the bell,' the teacher thought.

CRACK

a young man with electric blue hair appeared in the middle of his room, people screamed and dived under the desks but the girl in the middle row had not moved at all. she spoke, 'teddy, you know that you are breaking the international statue of secrecy your godfather is going to be pissed with you,' she continued to doodle.

'Natalie i need your help,' the girl stood up and rolled her eyes, she was tall yet teddy was still a head taller.

'what did harry tell you about me?'

'i was sitting in the lounge with him and he started to disappear so he yelled 'Natalie willows, find her' and was gone,' teddy looked panicked.

'shit,' she said.

'what?'

'so you don't know?' teddy shook his head, 'have you heard of a time phoenix?' teddy nodded.

'but there myths,' he said. she shook her head.

'all myths start for somewhere, i am one, there was a time displacement two days ago. i think someone went back to change something that resulted in his death or never being born,' teddy gulped. 'i can pinpoint where and when if you give me a second,' she put her fingers up to touch her forehead and she burst into flame, the kids who hadn't run for the door screamed and ran, teddy fell over in surprise. she stopped flaming and sat down. 'shit, Hogwarts January 2nd 1978,' teddy looked confused, 'they murdered both of his parents,' teddy went pale.

'what are we going to do, uncle Ron and aunty Ginny and aunty 'Mione are gone to.' teddy looked positively terrified.

'teddy we are going to go back and save them,' she smiled mysteriously, 'trust me, they will be ok, now when i transform i am like a port key so just touch my wing and i will get us there.'

'wing?'

'yes, time phoenix, you know, bird.' she made mocking flapping motions with her arms, teddy went red, 'ready?'

'ready.' she burst into flames and where she had stood moments before was a beautiful phoenix, teddy touched her wing and they disappeared.

teddy and Natalie appeared in the entrance hall of Hogwarts, teddy cast a time spell, 'September 1st, but you said January 2nd.'

'to save them they have to trust us, ready?' teddy looked perplexed, 'ok... just keep silent and agree with me,' teddy nodded, 'perfect,' she smiled and pulled her wand out of her sleeve, after changing her school uniform into midnight blue robes and undoing her hair so it waved perfectly, in this natural look she looked beautiful, she cast a glamor on some more protruding spots and strode to the doors of the great hall to lean against the doorframe drinking in her surroundings.

Dumbledore was halfway though his usual speech when he stopped to look at a young girl standing in the door way. a man with electric blue air stood behind her, casually leaning she smiled, 'hello, we are here for the defence position,'

'i think that you're a bit youn...'

'one's age does not define there capabilities,' the girl looked into professor Dumbledore's eyes, where twinkling blue met ocean turquoise something in the head masters face hardened then relaxed.

'what is your name?' he asked.

Natalie willows, and this is Teddy l-Tonks,' she smiled.

'very well, students,' he addressed to hall, many student were watching with interest, 'please welcome our new defence against the dark arts teachers, professor Willows and professor Tonks.' the hall erupted in applause at the two who sat down in the vacant chairs next to professor mcgonnagle.

teddy bounced around the class room, Nat (as she preferred to be called) watched shacking her head, 'I'm gunna meet my dad! I'm gunna meet my dad!' he giggled falling over the chair.

'you need to stay off the sugar,' she said, there was a knock on the door and the seventh year class trooped in to see one professor laughing as the other one picked himself up off the floor. 'hello class, find a seat and settle down.' whispering broke out among the class, Nat ignored it, 'well this lesson we will be finding out about each other, as you know my name is professor willows, but call me Nat and this is professor Tonks, he had too much sugar.' said professor was glaring at her, she smiled, 'this is how this is going to work, you ask me a question and i will ask you one, okay?' the class nodded a few raised there hands. 'yes,'

'how old are you?' a burly ravenclaw asked.

'haven't you ever been told that it i rude to ask a girl her age,' she laughed with the class, '14, but as i said in the great hall, one's age does not define there capabilities,' she said. 'Mr. potter what haven't you covered yet in defence?'

'err... i dunno.'

she looked at teddy, 'remind you of anyone,'

'more Ron than harry,' teddy said mater-o-factly.

she turned to the class at whole, 'bogarts, unforgivables, wandless combat, wordless magic?' Nat looked at the class who shook there heads. 'great, professor Tonks, we have a lot of work to do.'

Remus Lupin stuck his hand in the air, 'if you are younger than us how did you get the job?'

'we are here to teach and protect you, my age is not of your concern,' the class looked impressed. a red spell shot out from under James' desk when Nat turn to face away, she turned and stuck out her hand, the beam shattered. 'please i have dangerous reflexes, do not try to jinx or hex me,' teddy snorted.

'you could say that again,' James looked down, his, along with the rest of the marauders, robes were neon pink.

'Mr. black name an unforgivable and what it does...' the rest of class went quite smoothly, Nat and teddy both answered questions and built up there fake backstories. when class was dismissed five people stayed behind.

James, Sirius, Remus, peter, lily and Severus walked up to the teachers desk. 'can we help?' teddy asked. lily nodded 'we,' she motioned to herself and Severus, 'were wondering how your colleague shattered a spell?' Nat appeared for next door.

'Mrs. Evens, Mr. Snape, i shattered a spell using an ancient form of physical magic, i will show you farther in are lesson on wordless magic in term three.' she smiled, lily thanked her and walked out of the room with Severus. 'boys,' she asked sweetly, 'can i help you?' James scowled.

'we would like you to change our robes back,' Remus said before James could use his big mouth to get them detention, professor willows snorted.

'sorry, you remind me of teddy,'

'what?' teddy asked.

'you were like seventeen, the exact same thing happened with you and your girlfriend,'

'she is not my girlfriend!'

'is too!'

'is not!'

'is too!'

'is not!'

'is too!'

'is not!' the two forgot that James, Remus, peter and Sirius were still there.

'err... professors,'

'i am gunna prove it, yes Mr. black?'

'our robes?'

'right,' Nat nodded her head and at once there robes were back to normal.

'thanks professor!' the four yelled, oblivious of there now orange Mohicans, they ran out of the room.

'that was evil,' teddy said sitting on the desk, 'but why didn't you do worse to peter?'

'oh... i have something special planed for him,' to two cracked identical evil grins then burst into laughter, there was a nock at the door, 'that will be the third years.'
