A.N.-This is my first time writing and publishing a substantial story that I have ideas for more than one chapter for. I have a few chapters written, but once I put those up, I probably won't update very often. Please enjoy, and tell me what you think!

Everyone loved summer. The parents loved it because their children came home, and they could at least see them when they came in for Grandma Weasley's still delicious meals. They spent the rest of the days running around, yelling at each other or being yelled at by parents, aunts, or uncles, or playing quidditch down in the apple orchard. The kids loved summer, because they didn't have (as much) school work, and they basically were allowed to run all around the Burrow property, within limits of course.

Arthur had given up trying to make the Burrow big enough when Percy and Audrey had twins, and Harry and Ginny had James, and George and Angelina had Fred all in the same year. Every individual family then got their own little cottage, that surrounded the Burrow in a big circle. Some of the family felt that they spent more time living there, than in their actual homes, which were scattered all around England.

Teddy, Victorie, and Dominique still spent most of there time playing with their younger cousins (Teddy was considered to be part of the family by everyone), despite the fact that they had all graduated from Hogwarts.

Luna's and Neville's families had their own little cottages as well, because they spent so much time at the Burrow, and Alice, Lorcan, and Lysander were such good friends with all of the Weasley, Potter, Granger-Weasley, and Lupin cousins. That had really been initiated by their parents from a young age, when their parents would spend time with their Hogwarts friends.

The Potter cottage had a small extra room for Scorpius Malfoy. He was best friends with Albus, and spent so much time at the Burrow with Albus during the summer and holidays, that Harry just decided to add an extra room for him, so that he didn't have to sleep on Albus's floor anymore. Scorpius was almost nothing like his father had been, except in appearance and that he was a Slytherin. Draco had gotten better, and was friendly with Harry, Hermione, and Ginny. Ron was still angry at him for the way he had treated them, and blamed him for not stopping Bellatrix from torturing Hermione at Malfoy Manor. He was not happy that his daughter was friends with a Malfoy, but Rose didn't care.

Draco, for his part, didn't really care who his son was friends with, as long as he was happy. He was not extremely pleased when those friends had turned out to be a mix of Potter, Weasley, and Granger, but he was just happy that Scorpius had good friends, and always said yes when Scorpius asked to go to the Burrow with Albus and Rose.

In all, there were eight little houses surrounding the Burrow, and everyone who lived in them was considered family, regardless of if they were actually related or not, and Mrs. Weasley was always happy to have more kids to call her grandchildren.

Rainy days during the summer were not uncommon, but that didn't mean that anyone liked them. The parents usually spent the time sitting in the living room, and someone would run upstairs every so often when someone started either crying or yelling. This happened more then it probably should have.

This particular day, the children were all in a room that Mr. Weasley had added before he stopped trying to accommodate everyone in the same building. It was a large play room, filled with old toys from when the kids were little, old stuff that had been cleared out of Grimauld Place during the time of the Order of the Phoenix, rubble from the Battle of Hogwarts, and lots of other random things that had been put there for some reason over the years. It was really half play room, and half storage room.

Teddy and Victorie were cuddled up together in a corner, whispering and giggling a lot. Dominique, Molly, Lucy, and Roxanne were talking about quidditch tactics. Albus and Scorpius were trying playing wizard chess, and Rose was half watching and half reading a book. Louis and Alice were playing a game of exploding snap with Hugo and Lily. Lorcan and Lysander were reading the latest Quibbler. And James and Fred were looking through the piles of collected treasures, trying to find something worth investigating further, and maybe even worth showing to rest of their cousins.

"What do you think is in that little box," asked Fred, pointing up to a small gray box sitting on the top of a high cabinet.

"Let's find out!" James answered with a mischievous grin as he pulled a chair over to stand on so that he could get the box down.

The two boys opened the box and gasped loudly. Looking up at each other, their eyes both held the same question. Did we just find what we think we found?

James turned to Dominique, Molly, Lucy, and Roxanne who were closest to them and stated "Hey guys. We found an old time turner!"

The four girls stared at them for a second, until Roxanne, staring straight at her brother took action. Jumping up, she shouted "Put it down right now! Do you know what you could do! Please put it down before you do anything stupid!"

"Calm down Roxy. Hey James, what did you find?" asked Louis, who had looked up at the sound of Roxy yelling.

"I'll show you ," James said as he started to make his way across the room to Louis. By now, everyone was watching him very warily. Walking around the exploding snap game to get to Louis, James accidentally kicked a card that was lying by itself into the rest of them. The following explosion made James jump, and sent the box flying from his hand to land on the other side of the room, where the time turner fell out and shattered on the floor.

Everyone just started at it as the room started to fill with a thick fog. "Jamie, what is happening?" Asked Lily, grabbing onto her brothers leg. James didn't have a chance to answer before the room started spinning, and they were all too dizzy to answer.

"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE! I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!"

The Weasleys, Harry, Hermione, Fleur, Lupin, and Tonks looked up from the dinner table and out into the dark garden, where there were a lot of people shouting all at once.

"QUIET!" Said a loud voice, who apparently had authority as the others stopped talking immediately. "Yelling at each other won't do anyone any good. We need to figure out what happened. I understand that you may be mad at your cousin, or hurt because someone landed on top of you, but unless anything is broken, you will be fine."

Mr. Weasley finally snapped out of the trance that everyone in the kitchen of the Burrow seemed to be in, and went outside, shortly followed by the rest of the people at the table. When they got out into the garden, they found a group of seventeen kids and young adults, most of them looking at one who appeared to be the oldest. He turned to them when they came out into the garden.

"Hi. We are going to explain ourselves in a minute, but first, I need to know what year this is." The young man addressed the whole group in general, although his eyes kept shifting back to Remus and Tonks. Luckily for Teddy, only Victorie noticed, and she slipped her hand into his and gave him a reassuring squeeze.

The group stood starring at the newcomers for a minute, and then Remus said "1996. Why?"

"Because we are from 2021." Dominique replied.

This was met with more silence. Looking more closely at the newcomers, the group from the Burrow realized that some of them did look rather familiar.

"How did you get here, and who are you?" Said Hermione, looking at the newcomers for someone who she could recognize as related to her.

"He broke a time turner that we found in the playroom." Said Fred, as he indicated to James.

"The what?" Asked Ron.

"The playroom. It's a room that was added to the Burrow. Which, now that I think about it, is probably why we ended up falling into the garden, as the room is right above the garden, but currently doesn't exist." Teddy responded, looking up at where the room was supposed to be. "It is a play space, but also a kind of storage room where old stuff gets dumped. And sometimes searched through." He added, glaring at James and Fred, who chose to ignore this.

"Why don't we introduce ourselves." Said Albus, stepping forward.
