A/N: Okay, so this is my first take on the whole Next Generation time travels to past Generation. There is actually a reason to why the end up traveling and will hopefully end up having a good plot line where the characters actually discover themselves. Anyway, here is goes.


Chapter 1:

James scanned the hallway for other occupants and when he declared the coast was clear, he slipped his wand from his jeans's pocket and pointed it at the doorknob. Albus, who was weary, stood a few feet back and continuously glanced over his shoulder towards the Sitting Room in their four bedroom cottage. He could hear the mixture of his mother's voice and the radio, which was rambling on about recent headlines in the Prophet. He wasn't sure what, but something told him the outcome wouldn't be good. After all, how could breaking into their father's, Harry Potter's, office lead to anything but a catastrophe?

"I still don't think-"

"Shut up and quit being paranoid," ordered James.

"Oh, what is there to worry about," Albus said sarcastically, as James rolled his eyes, "You're only breaking into the office by using magic- not to mention that you're still underage for two more years- and that Dad probably has it locked for a good reason and that you are already in a pile of trouble with both of our parents and you're dragging me into it."

James groaned quietly, as he lost focus and turned to his younger brother:

"Firstly, there are two of aged wizards in this house-"

"Right, cause either one of them would be using magic to break into it-"

"Hey, they may have lost the key or something, Mr. Know-It-All-"

"Because that's likely-"

"In the name of Merlin, shut it." He sent Albus a warning look, before continuing, "Secondly, Dad's all talk. Thirdly, that was a really long run on sentence and people call me the stupid one. It was almost too hard to follow. Oh, and don't say I'm dragging you into it, because you know you have a choice."

"No I don't."

Albus shot a glare resulting in James laughing:

"Yeah, you're right. I've trained you well."

"You're a prat."

James bowed, "The best and greatest."

Ignoring the rude hand gesture from Albus, James turned back to the doorbell and took a deep breath, before whispering:

"Aloha-"

"Whatcha doing?"

"Crap."

"Fu- Frick. I said frick."

"Sure you did, James."

"Shut it, Allie."

"Don't call me that."

"Don't be so girly."

"Are you trying to break into Dad's office?" Lily questioned with curiosity glistening in her eyes.

The redhead stepped closer to her older brothers, as James frantically jammed his wand back into his pants and Albus lightly banged his forehead against the wall. Both boys commanded:

"Go away, Lils."

"But I wanna help! You lot always leave me out of everything. I'm not a little kid anymore. I just finished first year," She stated, placing her hands on her hips. "Plus, if you don't let me join, then I'll call for Dad and all of us know which two will be the ones in trouble."

"You're the devil."

"You should've been a snake."

"I'm waiting," her melodic voice rang out merrily; she clearly enjoyed the fact she played her cards the best.

"I'm in the middle of doing something really important. Al wouldn't even be here if I didn't need a look out. Next time, I'll let you help," stated James in a hushed voice.

Lily shrugged, "Wrong answer, Jamie."

She kept eye contact, as she sweetly sang, "Daddy, Daddy!"

"What is it, bug?" Harry called out over the static of the radio.

Albus punched James in the arm and he quickly whispered:

"Merlin's soggy nipple, okay! You're in. Just don't get us caught."

She flashed a pearly grin and chirped, "I knew you'd make the right decision, Jamie. Nice doing business with you."

She sweetly called out, "Never mind, Albie and Jamie are helping me."

James resisted the urge to strangle her and resumed his mission. Nodding over in the younger one's direction, he stated:

"Keep guard. I don't want any more surprises."

Then, whispered:

"Alohamora."

Fortunately, a click sounded and he swiftly opened the door to his father's study. He signaled for the other two to follow and as soon as they were all in, he latched the door behind. He wanted to be sure there was nothing to raise Harry's suspicison. Lily flicked on the light and all three children began through scavenged the place.

In the corner, there was a silver pensive. Beside that was a glass display case of an assortment of photos ranging from the kids to Ginny to young Ron and Hermione. In the opposite corner was a desk with a golden ball laying upon it and there were file cabinets, with various drawers slide open and papers pooping out, filling the rest of the space.

"And Dad scolds me for being dirty."

"Is that all you ever think about?" Albus asked.

"Why does he have this place locked? There's absolutely nothing interesting about it," mumbled James, ignoring Al's comment.

"Probably so you don't ruin what a little there is in here," added Lily, teaming up with Albus.

James growled in his sister's direction and began marauding in the area farthest away from both siblings, which happened to be the desk area. It didn't take long, before the lustrous golden object lying upon it caught his eye and was in his hand. Tossing it up in the air then catching it, James turned to Albus and bragged:

"Look what I found. Dad will probably be pi- ticked…" he glanced over at Lily, who he never cussed in front of since she told on him through letter the previous term at school for cursing out another student, "… if he finds it gone."

"No bloody way! That can't be one can it?" wandered Albus, as he rushed over to examine it better. "It is! James, put that down, now!"

"Care to give me a reason why I should listen to you?" asked James, as he tossed it higher into the air.

"Because that's one of the last bloody Time Turner's left! Not only that, but it's broken and could be set off by the smallest touch!" shouted Albus, who grabbed for it forcing James to snatch it from the air and wave it.

"Oho! Oh no!" mocked James, "Honestly, why would Dad have one of those?"

"Dad probably had a lot of things locked up here. Now, stop being a moron and put it down, before you do something stupid," chided Lily, as she stepped closer.

"Hey, now, stupid is my middle name, just ask Dad," winked James, as he tossed it in the air again.

"Get the dumb chip off your shoulder and realize that Dad only wants what's best for us," hissed Albus.

"Easy for you to say. You're his favorite."

"Oh, grow up!"

"Guys," gasped Lily, her eyes widening by the second.

The boys looked in the same direction of her and gasped. James had tossed the golden ball into the air but forgot to catch it. There was a crash, gold pieces flooded the ground, and a blinding light.

When things came back into view, the siblings were standing in the middle of the kitchen at Grimmauld Place surrounded by the younger versions of loved and deceased ones.

"You idiot."


A/N: Thank you for reading the Chapter. I am in a play and rehearsals make my schedule tight. However, I plan on trying to update as much as I can. Hopefully, after the play is over I'll be updating once a week. Remember, reviews are much appreciated; flames included. I just really enjoy hearing from my readers.
