Chapter Two

Future

James woke up in the dorm room. He got up and opened his trunk and threw on an outfit. He headed down to the common room and nearly fell down when he got there. He forgot he was in the future and everyone was different.

"Don't fall down again," Hermione said, quickly rushing over to him, "you don't need another trip to the hospital wing."

James nodded his head as Ron walked over to them. Two more people joined them as the walked into the Great Hall for breakfast. James sat down while everyone sat around him.

"Excited for the game tomorrow?" Ginny asked, looking at James.

"Oh very," James said with a smile.

"We need this win for the house cup," Ron said looking nervous.

"Don't worry, Ron," Hermione said in a calming voice, "you will do great."

"Almost time for DADA with Lupin," Ginny said, standing up, not noticing the shocked look on James's face. "I will see you later."

Ginny left the Great Hall, while everyone else got up to head to their classes. James had potions first with Slughorn. He sat down at his usual desk and waited for class to start. Slughorn came into the class when everyone had taken their seats.

"Today we will be making a flu potion, "Slughorn said, looking around, "simple, yet dangerous if messed up. Oh Harry, good to see you made a full recovery."

James nodded his head, opening his potions book to the page with the flu potion on it. He slowly got the stuff he needed to started to make it, thinking that it was going to be a long day.

Past

Harry was up before anyone else, and was already dressed waiting for Sirius and Remus to get ready. Sirius and Remus had finished getting ready.

"Why are you up so early?" Sirius asked, giving Harry a weird look.

"Just excited for the day," Harry quickly said with a grin.

Sirius shook his head as they headed down to the common room. Harry saw Lily, ran over to her and gave her a hug.

"What is wrong with you, Potter," Lily nearly yelled, pushing Harry away from her.

"Just feel like I'm just meeting you for the first time," Harry said, with a look on his face that Lily had never seen before.

Lily didn't say anything as she quickly walked away. Sirius and Remus came up to him looking a bit worried. Harry just smiled and headed down to the Great Hall. He sat down and Sirius sat down next to him.

"Are you sure you're alright?" Sirius asked, "You've been acting odd since yesterday."

"I'm fine, Padfoot," Harry said, grabbing some food, "I feel great, like I'm just seeing the world for the first time."

"And that is what's worrying me," Sirius whispered.

Harry just gave a small laugh and continued eating. Sirius gave a weird look to Remus, who just shook his head. After they had finished eating they headed off to class. Harry noticed Remus head in a different direction then them.

"Does he have a different class?" Harry asked.

"Of course he does," Sirius said, giving Harry an odd look, "you know that, Prongs. We'll catch up with him later."

Harry just nodded his head as they headed into their class and sat down. Harry was looking around the room with excitement. Sirius watched him shacking his head, wondering what the heck was going on.

Future

The had gone by very slow for James, he did his best in class, but felt so out of place. He did enjoy his DADA class with Remus, though seeing his friend that old made him feel old. He sat down to eat dinner with Ron and Hermione. He slowly ate his food.

"Is there something wrong?" Ron asked, "you haven't been acting like yourself lately."

"Just thinking about stuff," James muttered.

"I know, it is hard times," Hermione said, causing James to look up at her, "with you-know-who out there."

James was shocked to hear that he was still alive. He thought after all these years someone would have taken care of him or something. James looked down at his food, now feeling sick.

"Don't worry," Ron said with a small smile, "we are hear for you. We won't let him get you."

"Why would he be after me?" James quickly asked, looking around.

"Cause you're the chosen one," Hermione said looking worried, "how did you forget that? You were the first to vanquish him when you were just a baby."

James was now looking very confused. He quickly stood up and ran out of the Great Hall. His head was spinning with thoughts, he didn't make it half way down a hall before he fainted.

Past

Harry seemed to be having a good day. He was sitting down next to Sirius eating dinner. Remus had joined them about ten minutes after they had started eating.

"Where is Emily?" Sirius asked, looking around.

"She went to bed early," Remus said with a sigh, "she had a rough day with Lily. Apparently Lily kept bugging her about what you were up to today."

After he said that Lily had walked by and sat down on the other side of Harry, who looked at her with a smile.

"Listen Potter," Lily said, looking very serious, "I'm not falling for any of your tricks."

"There is no trick, Lily," Harry said, getting odd looks from everyone.

"What do you mean it's not a trick," Lily nearly yelled.

"It's not a trick," Harry said as if it was nothing, "I was just happy to see you, that's all."

Lily looked shocked at what he had just said. She got up and quickly left the Great Hall. She ran up to her dorm room to find Emily was laying in bed.

"What is wrong with him?" Lily asked, walking around the room, "there was no hitting on me, no asking me out."

"Maybe he has finally realized that you don't want to date him," Emily said, looking at Lily, who looked shocked, "you didn't think it could go on forever with him asking you."

Lily sat down on her bed, feeling a bit odd about this sudden change in who she thought was James. She went to bed thinking what she was going to do now.
