DISCLAIMER: I do not own the character, locations, or otherwise of this fanfiction, they belong to JK Rowling.
AUTHOR'S NOTE: Just a few notes about this fanfiction: the time turner works both ways; able to send people back in time, as well as forwards in time, and this fanfiction will focus mostly on Albus, with the occasional part about the other characters.
The group went back to a spot near the edge of the Forbidden Forest, having already made up fake transfer papers for each of them to be allowed in Hogwarts straight away. It was decided that, to better disguise themselves, Albus would have to change his eyes, since they were exactly like his father's eyes, and that might make some people get suspicious, but Albus wanted to have some more fun than that, and decided that he would pose as a Metamorphagus. So he mastered a simple spell that could change the appearance of people, and made his eyes blue, and his hair brown.
When they landed in the forest, and then found themselves alone, as they had expected, and hoped. They started walking out of the forest, and towards the castle. They went up to the Headmaster's office, giving him their papers, and being given their uniforms. Rose, Lily and James got their Gryffindor robes, Albus and the twins got their Ravenclaw robes, and Scorpius got his Slytherin robes. After that, they all split up, to go to their respective common rooms and dorms.
As Albus was walking out of his common room, looking over his new textbooks, he passed by a girl with blonde hair, who looked vaguely familiar, and who was also leaving the common room. She looked very beautiful, but he pushed that thought aside, since it was not safe to get attached to this time, and possibly screw up time.
He ran into her again in the Entrance Hall, where they both weren't paying enough attention, and walked straight into each other, making Albus drop his books, and the girl to drop her bag, spilling apples and chunks of meat out of it, and onto the floor. He helped her get it all into her bag, and picked up his books, handing her the bag, with their hands brushing against each other's momentarily.
The girl was the first to speak, "Sorry, and thanks, umm…I don't believe I know you, you must be new, since you're wearing Ravenclaw robes, and I'm pretty sure I know all the Ravenclaws."
"Uh, yeah. I'm Albus Pot-Poette, Albus Poette." He held out his hand for her, "And you are?"
She shook his hand, smiling, "I'm Luna Lovegood, Luna Lovegood. It's nice to meet you, Albus. I'm sure I'll see you around often, since we'll be sharing a common room."
That was when he realized why she looked familiar; this was Auntie Luna, his parents' friend, and the mother of the twins, so he definitely can't be thinking of her as beautiful, or anything like that, that would be weird.
"Yeah, nice to meet you, Luna. I'm sure we'll become great friends, but…may I ask what you're doing with apples and chunks of meat?" He looked curiously at her bag.
"Huh? Oh, right. I'm out to feed the thestrals," she smiled, patting her bag, "You're welcome to come with me."
"Ah, the thestrals, I've heard that they are beautiful creatures, and they are fascinating, for sure. I would join, but I can't see them, so I don't know how much help I'd be. Maybe I'll try it some other time; I still have to get settled as well."
"Alright, it was nice meeting you, Albus. I'll see you around," she smiled, walking out of the castle.
Albus watched her go, then starting walking again, reading his textbooks.
At the same time as Albus was meeting Luna, Lily and Rose were in the Gryffindor common room.
Hermione Granger had just come down from her dorm, and noticed them on the couch, walking over to them, "Hello there, I don't believe we've met, you must be new here. I'm Hermione Granger." She held out her hand for them.
Rose found this very weird, this was her mom, and she didn't even recognize her. Rose shook her hand, "Hello Mo- Hermione, I'm Rose Willows."
Lily shook Hermione's hand after, also finding it weird that her aunt did not recognize her, "I'm Lily Ponder."
"Glad to meet you two, if you need anything, I'm always here to help, as are all the other Gryffindors, but I'm sure I'd be one of the best if you want a studying partner or something like that, but just ask if you need anything."
"Great, thanks," Rose responded with a smile.
"You're welcome, now, I should be going now. I'll see you two later, Bye," Hermione turned, walking out of the common room.
"That was weird," Rose said quietly to Lily, "But I guess we'll have to get used to not being recognized by our parents, aunts, uncles, and their friends."
"Yeah," Lily responded, "I think I can handle weird."
Rose smiled, nodding, "Me too."
