POTTERS TO THE PAST - CHAPTER 2

short chapter this time.

disclaimer: i don't own HP, nor am i making any money from this (fucking wish i was)

Groaning, Lily groggily came to. Her eyelids fluttered as she became aware of the sunlight tickling her face. She didn't remember leaving the window open last night. Maybe it had been one of her roommates?

She didn't even remember going to bed. Must've been a long day. Oh well, warm weather in September was certainly very lucky.

Lily lay still for a few minutes, basking in the warmth and wondering how long until her friends woke her up. She must've been lying there for quite some time...Time?

Time turner! Lily opened her eyes, now fully awake. Where were James and Al? And the sand, and the Time turner?

Lost in her panic, she didn't see him until he was right in front of her.

No trace of sleep left in her adrenaline-filled body, Lily Potter realised with a jolt that she was looking into the face of a skinnier, younger Sirius Black.

What in Merlin's name am I doing outside Hagrid's House just after dawn? was the first thought Albus Severus Potter had, as he pushed himself up off the grass, and how the bloody hell did I get here?
Picking himself up off the ground, Al inspected himself and his surroundings. He had no broken bones, but he was sure that he was going to have a huge bruise on his temple, and those grass stains on his robe weren't doing him any favours. What had James done? They could be in a completely different time zone, all because of him.

And where was little Lily? He wasn't an exemplary sibling in the first place, but Albus was damn sure anyone would consider him a horrible one now. Losing your sister in a mystery year wasn't exactly ideal. What if she'd been killed by Witch Hunters in some past century? (The red hair didn't exactly help.) What if she'd been ripped apart by one of Grindelwald's Inferi? Or...what if she'd been captured, and was currently being tortured by Death Eaters? He had to go find her, as soon as possible.

James, however, was having a brilliant time. Despite his awful introduction

("I don't think I've seen you 'round before. What's your name?"

"Jammmme...athy."

"Jamathy?"

"No, no, that's my...erm, nickname. My real name is Steven. Steven, um,Vanderbilt."

"Steven umVanderbilt, did you say?"

"No, well yes, but I..can, where-er, may I see the Headmaster, please?")

he was now chatting avidly with James Potter the first and Sirius Black about various pranks that each had pulled, letting out a bellow of laughter here and there on his way to the Headmaster's Office.

When they'd found him wandering the corridors, James had been shrewd enough to realise that these people were Padfoot and Prongs, and that it would be foolish to use his real name around them because looking like James's twin was enough.
Lily and Al

would be fine, he was simply going to spend his day talking to his namesakes. He didn't know what had happened, but after all, this was a once-in-a-life-time opportunity, and one that he was not going to pass up.

Albus Dumbledore, had been having a fairly normal day so far. He'd been to the Great Hall for breakfast already, and had manage to eat three whole bags of sherbert lemon, and was now preparing for his weekly meeting with Professor McGonagall. However, this would very soon change. Of course, Albus expected as much...
At the knock on his door, he flicked his wand, and as he looked up, Professor Dumbledore saw Black and Potter standing in the door.

"Professor Dumbledore, we found this boy wandering the corridors this morning. He wants to speak to you." said Mr. Black, grinning from ear to ear. "Boy? I'm the same age as you!" was the loud protest from the mystery student.
"Shut it, Jamathy." said Mr. Potter with a smirk.

Yes, Albus Dumbledore had an inkling that his fairly normal day had come to an abrupt end.
