New edited version of Chapter 2 now up. Please read review, subscribe etc. And I own no Harry Potter. Gosh-Darnit...

Scorpius glanced up from his phone to see whether anyone was sitting in the common room. Oddly enough, for a Saturday night, it was empty, except for three people sitting next to the fire one of them with bushy brown hair and a book propped in her lap, one with vivid red hair, twirling his wand in his hand, and one with jet black messy hair. Cracking a smile he went over pulled out one of his books and collapsed on the empty armchair. Nonchalantly, he said to the three, "Is this the best you have got? Seriously, I would have expected something much better from you Al."

The three people stared at him with eyes wide open. The redhead had his mouth dropped completely.

"What, is there something on my face? Let's face it Rosie, when it comes to pranks, it is better to leave it to me, the expert. Possibly Lily. But let's pretend, for a moment that this prank actually is intelligent. So what do you have to say?"

The girl with the bushy brown hair's eyes narrowed. The redhead turned red with anger. The boy with messy black hair looked slightly furious. They sat in silence for another couple of minutes while Scorpius pretended to read. Then he pulled out his phone.

"Al, your grandfather needs to work on that spell, the wifi is down. Lil's and I were about to watch a movie. Why did you ditch us? We were going to have pizza."

Now their faces morphed back to confusion. The redhead opened his mouth to speak, at the same time as the brunette.

"Malfoy get out. How did you even get into the common room?"

"What's wifi?"

"Ah yes, Hugo. Always the one to make sure that the prank continues. Would have expected this from James too. Where is James, I doubt that he wasn't a part of this. Then again, maybe he was. Impersonating your parents to try to make me and Lily think we went back in time. Nice touch with the scar Al." He scoffed and ran his fingers through his hair messing it up further. "Hermione" started to speak.

"Do you honestly think you are fooling us? You have already bothered us enough for the day. Exploiting your powers as a prefect, bullying first years and now sneaking into our common room? Grow up!"

"Harsh, Rosie. Okay I will play along. Scold me about being in the wrong common room when it is you and Al. You should have at least waited a little while before pranking us back. We only made you quack a little bit." He stood up and walked over to the bulletin board.

"'Gallons of Galleons! Pocket money failing to keep place with your outgoings? Like to earn a little extra gold? Contact Fred and George Weasley, Gryffindor common room, for simple, part-time, virtually painless jobs. (We regret that all work s undertake at applicant's own risk).' -Nice touch, been planning this one long? I thought Rosie Weasley was above the pranks." He put on a shrill voice, "Lily, pranking is wrong. I am going to tell your mum!' that was just this morning. Had a change of heart? Doesn't your dad always quote your mum? 'You could be killed, or worse expelled.'"

Finally disheveled Al cracked a smile, turned to Rosie and said, "Hermione, Malfoy isn't this stupid. I think we have a nut-job here. But you did say that." Hugo started to chuckle. Scorpius was seriously confused as to why they even thought this was funny.

"First you ditch us, me your best friend and your adorable little sister, and now you prank us. This could definitely get you in trouble. Don't you value self-preservation and ambition?"

"You should," Hugo said, "What with your Death Eater father."

Scorpiuses eyes widened and his face shifted to anger, that was too far. His dad had no choice. Voldemort was living in his house. His family would have been murdered. His dad had no choice. This had not been brought up by the school since his third year, Lily's first. She had decided that he would be her project, to make the school learn that he wasn't his father and that his father wasn't his grandfather. He stood up indignantly and spoke, "My father is NOT a death eater. How dare you say that? It isn't his fault. How would you have reacted to Voldemort living in your home. You know that was a low blow."

He stormed over to Hugo grabbing his collar pulling him up. The other two shot up with looks of fury, drawing their wands. Fortunately for all present, suddenly he heard a throat clear from the stairway. Looking over, he saw a girl with bleach blonde hair and then a girl with vivid red hair, like Lily's natural color but a little lighter.

What Lily saw made her eyes pop out. Right before her eyes was a carbon copy of her mother, from about 27 years previous. Her mind went a million miles a second her vivid green eyes wide in disbelief. What had she done? Her family had specifically said that the Room of Requirement was not safe. Stupid, that's what she was. Absolutely positively idiotic.

The possibilities flew through her mind as she imagined how impossible it would be to get back. Time travel is only possible in one direction. Why oh why did she have to go through that stupid closet.

"Okay," She said, "I must be dreaming. I am going to wake up any minute back in my bed, I am sleeping, and this isn't real." She closed her eyes and then started pinching herself. Nothing happened.

"Well I guess I don't have to introduce myself anymore," The carbon copy said laughing a little bit, "Although if you are my daughter, why are you blonde.

"I was pranked. It's a long war, and it was my turn to be pranked. Hey this must just be another prank or I must be going crazy." She started breathing deeply. She went into one of the stalls and threw on her clothes, the only thing she had was a light purple sundress. She really enjoyed her dresses, especially since it was still warm out. This dress in particular would bring out her green eyes. It reminded her of lavender, one of her favorite plants. She performed a charm to dry her hair and then started talking again. "What am I going to do? You and Dad are going to kill me! All I wanted to do was get some pizza and a movie, not go back in time! I am going to be stuck here! How am I going to do anything?" She sat down in a chair next to the door and buried her face in her hands.

"Calm down. We can figure this out. Let's go to Dumbledore." Her mum started patting her gingerly on the head.

"Nope I am stuck here. Forever probably. Great, just great. Back with all the blood problems and, and…" Her eyes flew open in disbelief, "Voldemort! Crap, why did I have to go to that stupid, stupid room. I could have been in bed right now, but no. Just had to go into the room. They do say curiosity killed the cat. Well I may just be dead. Especially if he finds out that I am Harry Potter's daughter. This will be the death of me. Scorpius will die too, he is after all a blood traitor. The Gryffindor Malfoy. What if Voldemort decides to kill his parents so he is never born? This could create a paradox!"

"Scorpius. Who is that?" Her mother questioned.

"My best friend. Like a brother to me. Wait…The three in the common room, who are they?" She asked.

"My brother Ron your dad, and Hermione."

"Because Scorpius is a carbon copy of his dad and I left him there." She started walking briskly to the stairs.

"And his dad is Draco Malfoy."

Ginny started laughing and paused on the stairs. "They are going to murder him."

"I know. They also might make him mad. He has a temper. Somewhat. My fault probably. But anyways, let's go. It would be funny if you do that throat clearing thing again."

They reached the bottom of the stairs. Ginny cleared her throat and then they looked with smirks upon the situation. Scorpius had Ron by the collar and Hermione and Harry had their wands drawn. Now they all stopped and looked at Lily and Ginny. Then Hermione and Harry pointed their wands at Lily and Scorpius and disarmed them.

The girl who came in after Ginny, Harry noted, was incredibly tiny. She was about 158 cm tall, being shorter and slimmer than Ginny. Hermione who was a good 4 centimeters shorter than Ginny was still taller than the blonde. He got a closer look at her face and noted what a vivid green they were. Dye her hair red and she could look like his mother. That was when he understood. These must be Death Eaters. He glanced at Hermione and she nodded then they both pointed at the perspective targets.

"Expeliarmus!" The blonde's wand came flying toward him. He caught it in his hand. The girl just rolled her eyes.

"Rude, Dad. You took away my wand. Let me guess. You have decided I am a Death Eater or some such nonsense," She turned to Scorpius, "Unhand my uncle please."

"But it's Hugo in disguise. He said my father is a Death Eater."

"Well he thinks you are your father. Your father's father is a death eater."

"Lily, you can't be falling for this. It is just your brother and your cousin's lame attempt at a prank."

"If this is a prank it is the worst one I have ever seen. This is reality. We got the adventure we asked for. The closet thought that what we wanted to go back 30 years. Why do you think the wifi has not been working, or why we have no data at all? Here and even more proof," She pulled out the Marauders Map and said, "I solemnly swear I am up to no good." and gestured for Ginny to tap it with her wand. "Look at what the map says. See, Harry Potter right there," She pointed to her dad, "Hermione Granger right there, and who you have in your hands is my uncle Ron. You have heard the stories about the room. It did work. Now let go of my uncle."

The others in the room stared at Lily as Scorpius let go of Ron's top.

"Pleasure to meet you all, my name is Lily Potter and this is Scorpius Malfoy." She fake curtsied, then stood and spoke, "So anyways, Dumbledore. Isn't that the name of the old geezer here?"

"I think so. He probably would know what to do. Worst case, we enroll and become students here."

"Oh but you would miss Rosie dearly wouldn't you?" She chuckled as Scorpius blushed looked at her Uncle Ron out of the corner of his eye and then made a move towards the door.

"What makes you think we would let you leave death eaters?" Uncle Ron sneered. All of the 'golden trios' (Lily had heard people call her Dad and his friends that) had disgusted annoyed faces on. She didn't notice as Ginny went back up to her dormitory.

She turned to her dad, "Harry, I am your daughter." She then snickered, "It's so weird calling you by your first name. Usually it is Dad or Pop's. This is entertaining."

"No you are not. How did you trick the portrait hole to let you in?" He asked. Lily felt like she was getting into big trouble because her dad had that face. The, you are so busted, face on.

"I didn't. She just has the bad case of repeating passwords. Professor Longbottom told us."

"Neville, a professor? Reaching too far." Ron said. Her eyebrow raised.

"It's true. And he is a very brave man. Voldemort wouldn't be dead without him, and I would have probably gotten expelled already without him."

This was just too ridiculous to be true. What would these people come up with next? Harry wondered. However, Hermione was starting to look convinced

"All right then," Hermione said lowering her wand a smudge, "Prove it."

"Okay fine. What year is it?"

"1995"

"So your fifth year at Hogwarts. I have to say something that the general public wouldn't know. Hmm…" she trailed off.

"You just met my namesake, Luna Lovegood."

"Namesake?"

"Yeah, my middle name. My full name is Lily Luna Potter."

"That doesn't tell us much." Ron had lowered his wand a little bit too.

"Hmm. I could say… no Wormtail knows that. Huh." She paused to think for a second. Some minor detail a death eater couldn't know.

"Okay. Da-Harry. After you warded off the dementors and were in your house, Mad-eye Moody, Lupin, Tonks, and a few other people showed up. You were grossed out when Moody put his glass eye in a cup of your aunts with water."

"That's not very interesting." Harry said. He was still not convinced, who knew, maybe these people just were spies.

"Well I can't spoil too much now can I?" She sighed. Ooh that might work.

She lowered her voice, "Sirius Black is in 12 Grimmauld place right now and pretty disappointed that you didn't get expelled. You are jealous of Ron for being the prefect, but you don't want to admit it, and you saw Mrs. Weasley's boggart, which featured each of her children dead on the floor, and yourself and Mr. Weasley."

He lowered his wand, "So let's say you are my daughter. Why is your hair blonde? Shouldn't it be black or red?"

"It is red. Mum was just asking me that. I got pranked, well I kind of deserved it. It was probably Rosie, the more I think about it. I thought it would have been an amateur, but maybe that is the point. She is super clever and almost deadly, with the pranking skills of Uncle George and Uncle Fred and the brains of her mother." She gestured to Hermione.

"So who does Hermione marry?" Harry asked. He looked out of the corner of his eye at Ron, who had a slightly disappointed look on his face. His first assumption was that Hermione must have married one of the twins.

"Well my uncle of course." She too was looking at Ron with a smirk. So she must know, Harry thought.

"Which one?" Hermione asked.

"I don't think I am going to tell you. You probably know for yourself."

"So if you won't tell Hermione who she marries, tell me who Harry marries."

"I felt that was pretty obvious. If you are my uncle, then who must my dad end up with?"

Harry stared off at the girl's dormitory, slightly redder than usual.

"Anyways, now that we have got that out of the way, can we go see Dumbledore? You know the guy with the beard? Looks a lot like Gandalf?"

"How do you not know where his office is?" Hermione asked.

"They remodeled the school." Scorpius stated while glancing towards Lily and winking twice. She knew what that meant. She pulled out her phone and looked at the message. They had done this a couple years ago so that they could message each other even when they had no service. They had gotten the idea from her grandfather and his friend. Her dad had told them about a mirror that could allow for communication.

We are going to have to obliviate them. I have a plan just go along with it.

Harry and the others seemed mostly convinced about the remodeling story. Lily nodded discretely at Scorpius.

The group of five went down the portrait hole. Filch and Snape were probably the ones on patrol, if Harry's usual luck was playing out, and it was way past midnight. Lily asked, "So what day is it? The common room looked pretty empty for the third week of classes, which was when we were."

"First day of the new term." Her aunt said, "Hush we don't want to be caught."

Fortunately for them they made it all the way to the stone gargoyle before anyone caught them. Ever so more fortunately, when they were caught, it was Dumbledore himself. Lily gasped as she looked into the bright blue eyes of the man with the long white beard that her father had spoken about time and time again. He was a good two feet taller than Lily and it felt as though he could see right through her. He probably could, she considered. Her father had said that he was accomplished in Occumelency. Old loon probably was looking right now. He chuckled. 'Knew it' Lily thought.

"Ah, Harry. Mr. Weasley, Miss. Granger. What brings you here so late at night?" He said as he gestured them up the stairs.

"Well we were in the common room and then these two walked in." Hermione stated, "and they don't belong in our common room."

Dumbledore turned to Scorpius and said, "Hello Mr. Malfoy. You do know that we frown upon people going to houses they don't belong."

"Sir," Scorpius said, "We are slightly misplaced. We don't belong in this time. You see, I am Scorpius Malfoy and this here is Lily Potter. We sort of time jumped, I think."

"Sort of?" He asked amused.

"And we gave these three quite a scare," Lily jumped in, "We were wondering whether or not we could go to school here, just until we found a solution to our dilemma."

Dumbledore turned and faced Harry, Ron and Hermione, "Do you mind giving me and these two a bit of time alone?"

"Sure sir." Dumbledore proceeded into his office, gesturing for Lily and Scorpius to follow. Once the door was shut, Lily turned back to the door and drew her wand.

"Muffalato"

Dumbledore raised an eyebrow.

"If my dad and his friends are anything like my brothers, they are listening at the door."

"Naturally. So first off, why is your hair that color? If you truly are a Potter, shouldn't it be red or black?"

"I think my cousin Rosie turned it blonde. It was just a practical joke. But I already have revenge planned."

She stared in awe at the office. She could see the sorting hat at the top of a bookshelf, but it looked completely different from Headmaster Chang's office. She had been there many times naturally, being the troublemaker she was.

But here along with all the pictures of previous heads, there were trinkets everywhere. Chang tended to be very neat, and almost terrifyingly orderly. This was more natural. It wasn't messy by any means, but it had character. Then she noticed the bird. She had always wanted to see a phoenix, but they were so rare. This one she noticed right on sight. It was ravishingly red with vibrant blue mingled in. She reached out to pet it. It cooed and nudged her on the arm.

"Fawakes seems to like you," Dumbledore said. Scorpius had been telling Dumbledore the plan for how they would handle being here while Lily had been distracted. She thought she must have what muggles called ADHD. She could not focus unless it was particularly interesting.

"Oh. Well animals tend to like me in general." She turned her focus back to the desk.

"So I will let you stay here as long as you try not to change too many future events. I am sure some will be altered, but don't push anything too far. Would you like me to change your appearance?" Dumbledore asked.

"No," Lily said. She was really proud of the one skill she had mastered, "I can do it." She reached to her right ring finger and took off her ring that she had gotten for her birthday. Then she turned to Scorpius who took his family ring off and handed it to her. She set to work, enchanting the rings to make them seem different. The first thing she changed was her eye color. Then she made her skin paler than it normally was. She did nothing to her hair, yet, because she had to let the potion on her hair fade first, then she put an accent charm on it, something she had read about in a book, that allowed you to speak differently. She then put the ring on and set to work on Scorpius's.

By the time she was done, Scorp had brown eyes instead of his regular blue and his nose was shaped slightly different. She didn't feel the need to change too much because that was part of the cover she had decided on. She then added the accent charm on his and gave it to him. He turned to Dumbledore and spoke.

"How's this?"

"The accent is a nice touch Miss. Potter."

"Thanks, I hadn't actually tried it yet." She said with an American accent. She had a slight southern drawl, she noted.

She continued speaking, "We need supplies for school and such. You don't have to worry about finding us a solution. You have enough on your mind."

He had a slightly amused expression on, "Oh. And what is it that I have on my mind?"

"Horcruxes. Hallows. You know."

"So I appear to be correct in my assumptions." He stated, "I am going to send you to Diagon Alley and you can go purchase your school supplies. Please keep your heads down, Voldemort is on the loose and who knows what might happen. Tomorrow morning at approximately 8, Professor McGonagall will be there to pick you up. She will not know anything about you so don't tell her anything. Pretend as if you had just lost your father and that your mother sent you to Hogwarts to be nearer to the only relatives she has, the Malfoys. How you are related should be distant, but I am sure Scorpius can figure something out." Scorpius nodded.

He continued, "Whenever you are sorted tomorrow, I want you to ask the hat to put you in Slytherin. This will put you as low on the radar as possible. Is everything clear?"

"Yes sir." Lily said.

"Here is enough money to pay for your supplies." Dumbledore held out a pouch. Lily shook her head.

"I have some. We worked at my Uncles shop over the summer."

Scorpius raised his eyebrow at Lily, "You keep your money on you?"

"Yes. I don't trust McLaggen. I have everything in my bag and I always carry my bag." She gestured to her "We're All Mad Here" bag at her side.

"Very well. I trust you know how floo works?" Dumbledore asked.

"Naturally, but sir," Lily said, "What about my dad and his friends? Can you…"

"I can handle them." He replied with twinkling eyes, "Do not worry."

Lily climbed into the fire and flooed away, Scorpius entering right after her. They vanished into the night as Dumbledore went to the door and welcomed Harry, Hermione and Ron into the room.
