Sorry 'bout the wait. A huge thank you to anyone who read the first chapter, I'm so excited for this story! Disclaimer: I don't own anything.
"Ahhhh!" Rose screwed her eyes shut as they plunged into darkness. She could hear the screams of her friends beside her. After a second where the world seemed to wrap it's hand around her and squeeze everything became eerily calm and quite. She opened one eyelid and after checking to make sure she was safe opened both her eyes fully.
"Where are we?" Al asked from her left. He had sat up from where he had landed on the floor but Scorpius was splayed across his lap and Al couldn't move anymore. Rose kicked Scorpius's side successfully waking him up.
"OW! What was that for?" Scorpius got up and then stuck his hand out for Albus. "Where are we anyway?"
"Al just asked that but I didn't have the chance to answer because you were being a lazy bum."
"Don't worry guys," Albus said trying to avoid another fight between his best friends. "It looks like James just pulled a prank. See we're still at Grimmauld Place, the colouring and furniture has just been changed."
"Your right! Wow, your mom is going to kill James," Scorpius added.
"Are you sure? What about the stomach aches? And remember last week when James and Fred mixed together all those old ingredients and tricked all us cousin's into drinking the potion?" Rose had a horrible idea and it didn't take long for the boys to catch on. They were in Ravenclaw for a reason.
"You don't mean..." Scorpius trailed off. The truth of what happened had started to sink in. Shouting he voiced his concerns, "No. No, no, no! This can't be happening!"
Someone started yelling bloody murder from the hallway. With a grim expression Al replied, "Sorry mate but there's your proof."
There was a loud bang and then all the colours and noise coming from the shop disappeared. Roxanne, Fred and James stood in a store that looked a lot like Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes except it was smaller and the displays were different.
The store's costumers seemed to have disappeared as well. Night had fallen outside the window but James thought for certain that the sun had been shining only a few minutes before.
"IT'S THE ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE!" Freddie screamed and preceded to run around like someone was chasing him. James laughed.
"It's not the apocalypse," Roxanne reasoned. "We're wizards. This can't be the weirdest thing to ever happen."
"Look around. This wasn't our prank, so what happened?" James countered. Roxanne rolled her eyes but then froze. She looked at the boys, they were statues as well.
They had all heard the thump of footsteps coming from upstairs. A voice called out from the stairway. As one they slowly turned around and nearly fainted because standing at the top of the stairs was their dad, James's uncle, pointing his wand at them. Except he was a lot younger and there were two of him.
"Who are you?" They asked in unison. It was more then creepy seeing them together but hearing their voices made the situation real.
"Uh. Well we... we'll answer that. First, what year is it?" James asked thinking about all the stories he had heard about his uncles.
"1996 why?" Roxanne and Fred immediately knew it was their dad who answered. They had grown up to his voice, not his twin's.
"We are in so much trouble," Fred supplied. His father and namesake still looked suspicious of them.
Roxanne figured if they really were in the past then they would have to use it to their advantage. "Can you take us to Dumbledore please?"
Victoire gripped the sink, finally the feeling passed. Relived she looked in the mirror and had to stifle a scream. It wasn't that she looked like a monster or anything but the whole bathroom around her had changed itself around.
Victoire was positive it hadn't looked like this a mere few seconds ago. She blinked a few times hoping this was just a trick of her eyes. It wasn't. Victoire wasn't sure what to do. If this was a prank then it was an awfully good one. Before she could figure out what to do there was a familiar scream downstairs. Victoire was out of the bathroom and down the stairs in seconds. Gripping her towel as she went.
Victoire arrived in the living room to see the weirdest thing she could have possibly seen in the nineteen years she'd been alive. Her sister and brother were tied up on the couch with her mother and father pointing their wands at them. If that wasn't weird enough her parents looked like they had jumped right out of their old photographs.
Her father was missing his scars from greyback and Victoire's mother had a vicious look in her eyes as she aimed her wand at her own children who she had only ever shone love too. Even when she was livid at them for a prank or sneaking out their mother never had that hard glint in her eyes.
They may not have been her real parents but those were Victoire's sibling and she wasn't going to let this go without a fight. "What are you doing with them?!"
Bill whipped around and suddenly her own father had his wand pointed at her heart, a spell at the tip of his tongue. "What are we doing? What are you three doing sneaking in our house?"
"Victoire help us, it's not dad! I don't know who it is," Louis spewed out. He was always a blabbermouth when it came to being under pressure. That was why he wasn't aloud in on a lot of James and Fred's pranks.
"Of course it isn't mom and dad you idiot! Why would we be tied up if it was them?"
"Maybe they found out you've been sucking face with that slytherin dude," Louis sneered. By now Fleur and Bill looked more confused then the siblings who were tied up.
"You wouldn't!" Dominique spat. Louis smirked but it was whipped off his face when she grinned back. "And what would happen if they found out about that muggle?"
"Touche," They exchanged toothy smiles while Victoire sighed.
She was so confused that she didn't even take the time to scold her younger siblings. Bill and Fleur looked at each other just as confused, if not more. Bill scanned the people in the room and then glanced back at his fiance. He spoke to her, "Go contact Dumbledore."
"James is so dead!"
The occupants of the Burrow looked at each other. Shock and confusion was mirrored from one face to another. Who was in the house and how had they gotten in?
Harry had come to stay for the summer. Hermione was there as well, along with Ron, Ginny and their parents. Kingsley and Lupin were also visiting. Usually they had more people hanging around and were all bustling about but that morning had been unusually quiet. Well until now.
They slowly crept towards the voices. They sounded young but that could just be a disguise. The adults pushed the younger teenagers behind them and jumped out from behind the wall. Their wands stuck out towards the intruders. There was a shocked silence.
"Please say I'm seeing things and that mom is not the same age as James."
"Speak for yourself, this is great. They can't ground us if we're the same age," Hugo's victory was short lived though. Molly shot the two of them one of the Weasley's famous glares. They should have been used to it by now but it never seemed to get less frightening.
"Would you two shut up. Clearly James and Fred have some explaining to do but it doesn't do us any good to blabber about our lives and mess up everything," As Molly said this Lucy mimicked her from behind. Making even some of the past people laugh. "Lucy stop it. Now that I think about it, remember that potion we all accidentally drank. That would explain Everything. From how we got here to the stomach pain."
"Watch out Molly's at it again," Hugo joked but that just earned him a slap to the head. "Hey!"
"Kingsley go get Dumbledore," A younger version of their granddad told the future minister of magic.
"My thoughts exactly," With one last glance at the weird assortment of kids he flooed away.
"I better go check and see if anyone else has had any of these problems," Lupin stepped in the fireplace after Kingsley. The way the little redhead reminded him of Lily and how she talked about a James was starting to unnerve him. Remus had bigger problems though. He hoped Tonks was okay as he flooed to her mother's house.
Teddy let out a sigh of relief as the sick felling passed. He could still go on his date with Victoire if he hurried. But when had his Gran redecorated? The house was the same shape but chairs were rearranged and different pictures lined the walls. He was about to inspect the frame where he and his Gran should have been when he heard loud voices coming from downstairs.
Gran was supposed to be out. She had a meeting with her sister tonight, Teddy was sure of it. So why was she down stairs arguing with someone? He crept back down the stairs hoping his Gran would forgive him for eavesdropping.
"I love him, mom! Why can't you understand that?"
"He isn't good for you. Just look at yourself!" This was his Gran for sure but the other lady had called her mom.
No, that couldn't be possible, she was dead. Teddy couldn't control himself though and when he heard someone tumble out of the fireplace and ask if they were okay he knew that this was his chance.
"Gran?" He stumbled through the door and was met with a sight he had both feared and wished to see.
"Look there's another one. Four of them appeared at the burrow!" It was his dad. His real dad who was alive. Three wands pointed at his chest. This was not how he imagined meeting his parents would go. Heck, he had never even thought he would meet them.
Teddy shook his head trying to regain control. Lily, Hugo, Lucy and Molly had been at the burrow. If they really had traveled back in time and this wasn't a big prank then they were in trouble.
"Four others?" He croaked.
"Yes. Do you know them? How did you get here?" Questions were fired at him.
Teddy couldn't reply. His own parents who had been dead for as long as he could remember were there pointing their wands at his chest. He grasped for words but he could only find two. The ones he had always wanted to use but had never been able to.
They were on the tip of his tongue. It was too late though a red light flew towards him and then everything went black again.
There you go. Not everything will line up with the books but it should be around the beginning of Harry's sixth year. I'll update as soon as I can, thank you all for reading. -OEL
