AN: I'm really tired right now so I probably didn't catch a lot of mistakes so please look over them as I am sure there are some. Also I would like to thank one of my reviewers for pointing out in the Prologue that I said mom instead of mum. Thank you very much, I never would have noticed it. Well here is the next chapter and I hope you enjoy. Even though I don't like the last third of the chapter.

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. I wish so badly that I did though.


Chapter One

"Now?" Lily whispered, her grip on Albus's arm tightened slightly. Albus's only reaction was to take a deep breath and close his eyes. Rose nodded and every so gently took Lily's other hand into one of hers.

"Yes now. If you want to of course, we can leave tomorrow, but we would probably have a better chance at saving everyone if we leave as soon as possible." Rose murmured, looking Lily straight in the eye, brown eyes clashing, both showing what each really felt. Pain. Teddy just stayed quiet letting Rose handle this. Both Lily and Rose have always been stronger than anyone else in the family, I shouldn't worry as much as I am, Teddy thought as he swiftly stood up, trying to make as little noise as possible.

Albus though, watched Teddy retreated to a dark corner of the kitchen, his thoughts spinning madly and he couldn't keep up. His emotions were just as bad if not worse, he didn't know what he was feeling at the moment, only that he was uncertain. Can we all handle seeing our parents as teenagers? Albus thought solemnly, his eyes stayed glued were Teddy had blended into the darkness.

"Al?" Rose whispered, resting her other hand on his knee. Albus's eyes shifted to Rose's, and she immediately knew the look in his eyes.

"What's the problem?" Rose asked gently, her voiced colored in nothing but love and compassion. She and Albus may be the same age, but at the moment she felt twenty years older than him. This worried her extremely; Albus isn't the kind of person who falls apart in tough situations. They all practically grew up with tough situations constantly invading their lives. I mean the Potter's and Weasley's are famous families, you rarely get a moments peace when out in public.

"What happens if we change the future and it's worse? It's easy to change the future, but to actually change it to the way it's suppose to happen," Albus shook his head, his messy black hair glimmering in the pale moonlight. "It won't be easy Rose." He finally finished looking back up into her eyes.

Rose was expecting this, as she has thought about it ever since Dumbledore had told her about this whole Time-travel deal. It won't be easy, she knew that, but she too is worried that when they come back to their time everything will be worse than when they left it.

"Well with two Ravenclaws', a Gryffindor, and a Slytherin I am sure we'll figure it out." Rose said, her voice a bit loud in the quiet house. She attempted to smile reassuringly, but she knew it probably didn't come across like that.

"I think we should go now Al, what else do we have to lose?" Lily whispered, the house becoming eerily quiet as the truth of her words sunk into everyone. Teddy had to slam his eyes shut in attempt to keep the tears from falling. It was a failed attempt; tears stubbornly fell from his eyes, clear and unseen to the rest. He opened his eyes and tilted his head back looking out the small kitchen window. Victoire….


"Okay are we all ready?" Rose asked as they stood in the dark living room. Each of them had a bag slung over their shoulders, huddled in a tight circle. Teddy and Lily nodded, but Albus's eyes were slowly looking over every crack and flaw in the room, none of them knew when they would see this house again. It could be years.

"Albus?" Lily asked softly, snapping him back to harsh reality. Albus looked at his little sister, blinking blankly for a few moments, before he realized that he was holding everything up.

"Sorry." He muttered, his head bowed.

"It's okay Al." He heard Rose whisper before she put the time-turners chain around his neck. It slipped down his warm skin and the cold metal rose goosebumps as it rested against his skin. Raising his head he saw that all of them had some part of the time-turners chain around their neck. Rose shakily held the actual time-turner in her hand and took a deep breath, closing her eyes briefly.

"Rose let me do it." Teddy whispered, taking her small, shaking hands in his large ones. Rose nodded numbly and gently dropped the time-turner into his hands. Lily looked at her cousin and pulled her into a one armed hug, letting Rose rest against her, they were all nervous, but Rose looked like she was the worst of them all.

"Ready?" Teddy asked one more time, waiting completely frozen in his spot for a tiny nod from everyone. When everyone nodded, he turned to Rose and asked, "How many times do I turn it Rose?"

"Twenty-seven."


When everything stopped rewinding, and the feeling that they were spinning passed they all opened their eyes to see themselves in the same home, but yet not at the same time. Rose turned to Lily and said, "Grab onto me real tight now Lily. We need to apparate to outside of Hogwarts."

Lily nodded and grabbed onto Rose's arm softly closing her eyes. Rose nodded to Teddy and Albus and in three soft pops they were gone.

Inside his office Dumbledore continued to pace. His hand stroking his long white beard and Minerva McGonagall sat in his desk chair watching him with intense eyes.

"Albus what has you so unnerved?" She asked, her tone colored with nothing but patience and maybe a little bit of annoyance. Dumbledore turned his bright blue eyes toward her and he let out a sigh.

"Minerva I have a feeling that we are about to have many problems on our hands." Dumbledore said gravely, his hand rubbing his temple slowly, trying to fend away the coming headache. Something was bugging him and he didn't know what it was and that's what he's worried about.

Just then Dumbledore saw four cloaked figures standing huddled together by the gate to Hogwarts. He sucked in a breath and nodded his head toward the window for Minerva to see the figures. Getting his silent message Minerva turned her piercing gaze toward the window, and to her amazement there were four clock figures.

"Albus-"

"I'll be back Minerva." And with a soft 'pop' Dumbledore was gone from the room, Minerva watched as a fifth figure joined the huddled group outside.


Dumbledore regained his bearings and saw that the four clocked people were no more than teens. They looked terrible, tears stained cheeks, ragged and torn clothes, matted hair, and red puffy eyes. They looked like they've barely slept in days, Dumbledore thought gravely.

"You four look exhausted. Come follow me." He gestured his hand toward the opening Hogwarts gate, and allowed the four exhausted travelers to go ahead of him.

Lily clung to Albus like there was no tomorrow and Albus clung to her, not sure if this was all a dream or not; Rose and Teddy walked silently side-by-side glancing discreetly at Dumbledore. Although Dumbledore was walking and breathing behind them Rose had a hard time believing everything she was seeing, Maybe this is really happening, she thought slowly, her brain shutting down from exhaustion.

By the time they all got to the Great Hall doors Lily was practically sleep walking, her eyes half open and glazed over, her arms limp by her sides, and Albus was beginning to feel the strain under her weight. With worry Albus shook her shoulder whispering her name softly.

"Lily. Lily." Eventually Lily's eyes slid open and her arms returned to their position on his arm.

"I'm sorry." She murmured sleepily, shaking her head almost as though to get rid of thoughts she didn't want. Albus smiled sadly and pulled her closer as a chilling breeze cut through their skin. Sometimes I wish I could shield her from all the pain, Albus thought sadly, his emerald eyes locking with her pained brown ones.

"We'll save them Lily I promise." He whispered, planting a whisper of a kiss on her forehead. Teddy and Rose stood huddled together, their eyes glued to Lily and Albus. This whole ordeal has changed the both, some for the better, Teddy thought. Lily and Albus were never that close when they were growing up. It was always Albus and Rose, Lily being the youngest of everyone, always being overshadowed by her older brother's and cousin's.

"I get the feeling you four know where the Headmaster's office is?" Dumbledore said in a deep, kind voice, and a smile replaced his worried expression. He has nothing to worry about at the moment about these four teens.

The four teens nodded and pushed open the large doors and walked into the Great Hall, it's familiar walls comforting to all of them.

"Mr. Potter, Miss Granger…Mr. Weasley." Dumbledore boomed as he noticed the Golden Trio hidden in a dark corner, hoping not to be seen. The three sheepishly stepped out, their shoes making a clicking noise against the marble floor. This caused Lily, Rose, Albus, and Teddy to turn their gazes toward the Trio. Immediately all their eyes flew wide in shock, but it was Lily that gave into the grief that's been building inside her. Her knees buckled and tears slipped from her eyes. And just like the last time, it was Albus that caught her.

Harry look at Dumbledore then the four mysterious people, his emerald green eyes showing nothing but confusion.

"Professor?" Hermione asked her eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Harry continued to gaze at one boy; his messy black hair and green eyes immediately caught his attention. Albus who finally had Lily safely in his arms looked up at his father, emerald green eyes clashing.

Harry reeled back in shock and asked, "Who are you?"


I have no idea when the next update. I have a ton of school work being pilled up on me so I cannot promise you a quick update. I'm writing this chapter by chapter and have a basic outline in my head, but even then it'll take me a while to let this story run it's course.

Please Review!

Until next time!
