Chapter two: The Arrival of Ten
1995
"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER, FRED ARTHUR, LOUIS DOMINIC, AND, HUGO VICTOR WEASLEY YOU ARE IN DEEP TROUBLE!" a voice shouted from some random room, followed by the screams of horror of… boys? The members of the Order, who were in the kitchen, looked up from their food while eating when they heard that loud voice and everyone looked at Sirius Black
"What? It couldn't be my mother, her voice is much worse." He said with a casual tone and, as if on cue, Mrs. Black began screaming from her portrait
"FILTH, SCUM, BY-PRODUCTS OF DIRT AND VILENESS! HALF-BREEDS, MUTANTS, FREAKS, LEAVE THIS PLACE! HOW DARE YOU BEFOUL THE HOUSE OF MY FATHERS!" she screamed from her portrait
Sirius immediately went towards the room where the portrait is and snapped "Shut up, woman!"
The portrait sneered "You blood traitor! You shame of the family!"
"Yeah, and I'm proud of it!" Sirius spat at said portrait
And then, an unknown, angry looking red-head came in the room, dragging two boys from their sleeves
"Shut up, you bloody portrait!" the lady snapped, ignoring Sirius' existence in the room "Shut up! I thought I've helped take you down last year, but now, you're here again!"
The red-head lady let go of the two boys and then closed the curtains to cover the old lady in the portrait and muttered some unknown charm to keep the portrait from waking up temporarily. She crossed her hands across her chest as she glared at the boys.
"Shannon, we're sorry!" one of the boys, a red head being dragged by with the lady's left hand earlier cried in horror. Sirius' eyes widened when he the other boy (who is being held by the sleeve by the lady's right hand earlier), who looks like his best friend: James Potter… just without the glasses
"Shannon, Hugo didn't mean to throw it up in the air!" the James Potter-look-a-like-without-glasses cried
"Yeah, Shannon, it's Fred the one who stepped on it!" the red-headed boy added, seeing two other people, one male with oddly bright yellow hair ("A Metamorphmagus like my second cousin perhaps?" thought Sirius) and one blonde female who is as pretty as a Veela. The male was holding two boys, one blonde and an older red-head, by their shoulders and were looking both horrified and amused at the scolding scene. It seems that neither of the people has noticed Sirius since they were too busy watching the oldest red-head scold the two other boys.
"Uh, Shannon," the Metamorphmagus male said
"What?" the lady, Shannon, demanded impatiently
"That's not Fred, that's Hugo." The Metamorphmagus male answered, pointing at the younger red-head that 'Shannon' was scolding right now "This is Fred." He pointed to the older red-headed male that he was holding by the shoulder.
"D*mn it" Shannon mumbled with frustration and then dragged 'Fred' in front of her
"How could you step on it?" she demanded again
"I-it was an accident." 'Fred' replied, trying to look brave
Shannon was about to snap when the male Metamorphmagus put a silencing charm on her
"Shannon, like they said it, it was an accident."
Shannon looks like she is about to explode in anger but she couldn't do it due to the silencing charm and gave him a look that says "We are in trouble right now". She let out a silent rant and the male Metamorphmagus said 'Finite' when she was done doing a silent rant and then Shannon sighed when the spell was removed
"Now we're in big trouble now, Ted, now that it's broken." She said, forcing herself to sound calm
"I know, Shannon, but let's just figure a way back… even without it." 'Ted' replied reassuringly.
There was an awkward silence until the James Potter look-a-like shouted
"Merlin's baggy pants, Shannon, Ted, Victoire, Fred, Hugo, Louis look!" he exclaimed, pointing Sirius, who has been standing casually near his mother's now-curtained portrait and was unnoticed for the time-being as the arguing/scolding scene happened
"What?" the rest asked wearily
"It's Sirius Black!" cried James
There was another awkward silence as they looked at Sirius and James and then, three people walked in: another James look-a-like, a bushy-haired brunette and a younger red-head girl
"What's taking you guys so long? Rose and I are waiting for the climax where Shannon screams at James and the others" the younger red-head girl asked
"And what's with the silence?" 'Rose' added, following the people in the room's gaze and then she stiffened
"What now?" the red-head asked the boy beside her
"Wait… something is not right." The boy answered, also following everyone's gaze and looked at Sirius
"Hello, Harry, I didn't know you're here already." Sirius happily said
"Excuse me?" said the red-head, looking shocked
"Uh… my name is not Harry." The older boy added
Silence followed and Sirius frowned. They looked at each other and then observed everything for a while. Then, the red-head and the boy's jaw dropped
"Punch me Lily." The boy told the 'Lily' softly and did as what she was told.
And everything is still the same.
"Al, we've gone back!" Lily gasped with a horrified look
Then, everyone in the room panicked
"We'll get sacked, Teddy!" Shannon exclaimed, shaking Teddy's shoulder "We will lose a job and go jobless!"
"Calm down, Shan. It's not that we don't know anything about the Ministry." Said Teddy, his hair turning into a light shade of purple in panic "Besides, it won't be problem, right Vic?" he turned towards the blonde lady who looked a bit confused and panicky about the happening and just shrugged.
A woman entered, a woman known as Molly Weasley "What is going on here, Sirius?" she asked
"Well, I was about to make this woman in the portrait shut up when they entered and she" Sirius answered, nodding his head to the others' direction and pointed Shannon "Did something that made my mother unable to talk even if they are starting to panic and scream now and then Harry says that he is not who he is before." He added as he pointed towards 'Al'. Mrs. Weasley gave him, Sirius, an expressionless look and then turned to Harry.
"I know you're upset about everything, dear" said Mrs. Weasley "But just because you are upset, it doesn't mean that you have to pretend you don't know yourself."
Al felt uncomfortable for a moment "But, I am not Harry. I am Albus!" He repeated and then, ignoring that statement, Mrs. Weasley exclaimed "Remus, Tonks, Arthur, go to the Mrs. Black's portrait's room and take the three adults to the dining room and, Sirius, go get Dumbledore and ask him to interrogate them! Oh and tell the others to stay upstairs alright?" She dragged Al to the dining room as Sirius followed and the rest stayed where they were and after a while, Remus, Arthur and Tonks walked in the room and then Arthur and Remus started to bring Victoire and Teddy to the dining room without hesitation as the younger bunch followed them. Shannon, however, seemed to glare at Tonks and doesn't want to leave and is now sounding like a four-year-old that is about to have a tantrum.
"Come on, don't worry, Dumbledore is just going to ask you some questions. I'm Tonks by the way." Tonks reassured Shannon, who looked doubtful
"My name is Auror Shannon Jackson and like I said earlier from my name, I am an Auror! Why do I have to be questioned?" Shannon demanded, inching away from Tonks little by little
"If you're an Auror, why haven't I seen you at the Ministry?" asked Tonks
"Because I'm from the Australian Ministry" Shannon lied, trying to keep calm at this rate and then snorted, much to Tonks' amusement and then, becoming afraid that Tonks suspected something, she immediately walked to the dining room… and tripping on something unrecognizable to Shannon that she nearly wanted to cry immediately but she couldn't since Tonks was there and she (Shannon) will just embarrass herself… where on earth did she hear the name Tonks anyway? She stood up and then allowed Tonks to just drag her to the kitchen, sighing deeply and looked about to burst into tears but she just held it in… again.
!.!
The group of unknown people from nowhere is now standing; the younger ones either looked down on the floor in nervousness or maybe fidgeted in their place and the three working adults just stood up with their head held high, trying to look confident and calm. Nearly everyone in the house is gathered before them, including the future Minister, Kingsley Shacklebot! Dumbledore sat on one of the chairs in the dining room and observed the newcomers silently and then his eyes twinkled for some strange reason.
Are his eyes twinkling? Why, why now? This sucks! Thought Shannon, nearly shuddering in nervousness as she tried to be confident
"Well, anyone mind to introduce themselves first?" asked Dumbledore
On second thought, this is could be awesome because Dumbledore's alive! Shannon thought, raising her eyebrows
Teddy raised his hand tentatively and then Dumbledore said "Go on."
"Okay, to start, we are all from the future." Teddy said, gesturing Victoire, Shannon and the others. "First of all, my name is Teddy R-," he added but he was cut off by Shannon who continued with "His name is Teddy Romulus Wolfe".
Smooth move, eh, Shannon? Thought James, stopping a smile from appearing on his face
Teddy gave her a shocked look and then she whispered something to her "Why did you do that?"
"You surely don't want to exist don't you?" Shannon hissed softly
"We could just modify their minds after!" Teddy softly retorted "Just cooperate with me! Silencio"
Shannon then narrowed her eyes and then turned away with her arms crossed across her chest
"I meant to say, my name is Teddy Remus Lupin, I was born on April 11, 1998, I was in Hufflepuff and I'm now an Auror at the Ministry at my time. My parents are Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin."
Everyone was silent at this and then… one second… two seconds… three seconds… four seconds… five seconds…
"What?" Sirius asked loudly, breaking the five-second moment of silence
Everyone looked at Remus, who looked quite horrified, and Tonks, who was just blushing and it took Teddy a while to get why Remus looked horrified.
"Ah… don't worry, I am not a werewolf." Said Teddy, trying to look casual
Remus sighed in relief yet he still has the look of awkwardness. Oh boy. Tonks looks like she will be crying out in hilarity as if this is some kind of joke or break down in tears because of unknown emotion. Teddy waited for Shannon to introduce herself next but he suddenly remembered that she couldn't talk because of the silencing charm he put on her.
"Finite" Teddy mumbled, making Shannon be able to talk again
"Thank you for that." Shannon sarcastically said as she turned around to face the others and then she cleared her throat "My name is Shannon Marie Jackson. My birthday is on September 30, 1998. I was in Hufflepuff as well, former Prefect, and now, I am an Auror much to my mother's slight disappointment. I am the daughter of Alfred Jackson and Margaret Shire-Jackson." She introduced cautiously
"Let me guess, you're related to Allan Shire… aren't you?" Sirius asked, raising an eyebrow
"Apparently, yes, since he is my grandfather" Shannon replied bluntly
"Hey, I was classmates with your mother and we were in the same house at Hogwarts." Said Tonks, smiling at Shannon, who returned the smile
Sirius let out a low whistle as Shannon signaled Victoire to introduce herself next
"I am Victoire Antoinette Weasley. I am born on May 2, 2000. I was in Ravenclaw, I'm now a Healer in training, and my parents are Bill Weasley and, err… Fleur Delacour."
Silence followed yet again and then "Fleur?" Mrs. Weasley gasped as she looked at her son with a shocked look and then Bill became confused because of the statement 'I was in Ravenclaw'.
"You were in Ravenclaw?" Bill asked
"Obviously… but, yes I was." said Victoire, trying to sound polite after all the awkwardness and nodded her head
"Oh." Bill mumbled, seeing that it's all he could say for now
"It doesn't matter, anyway." James loudly remarked and then everyone looked at him
"Well, my name is James Sirius Potter, born on the 4th of April in the year 2004. I am a proud Gryffindor and I'm a seventh year, I am one of those students who got the most detentions since first year." (Sirius smiled at this) "I am, the eldest son of Harry Potter, obviously, and forgive me my young uncle Bill, but since my mother isn't down here I'll just say her name, which is Ginny Weasley." He added casually, watching everyone go silent and then, the silence broke with a loud "WHAT!"
That was followed by a loud
Bang!
"What now?" Shannon asked with an irritated tone, automatically walking to find the source and ever since she has become an Auror, whatever strange and loud sounds she heard, she walks away to investigate immediately even if her life is at risk.
"Where do you think you're going?" asked Kingsley, suspicion in his tone
"To investigate the sound, Sir," Shannon replied urgently, continuing to walk away with her wand at ready and the introduction to the remaining six people from the future was postponed for a while.
"I'll go with you." Said Sirius "Come on, Moony" He followed Shannon and then signaled Remus to follow him.
"And I'll come as well." James Sirius added, following Sirius and Remus
"Whatever" Shannon replied nonchalantly
Little they did know, however, some people from above was eavesdropping on the whole conversation and these people were: Fred, George (The masterminds for this), Ron and Ginny Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter. All of them were shocked.

1975
In Hogwarts ran four people whose names are: James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew and Remus Lupin, also known as the Marauders. They were running because they thought they would be late for class, not just any class but McGonagall's class. The stern professor would surely deduct a few house points from each of them for being late. On their way to class, they were met by Lily Evans, who was walking out of the Transfiguration classroom.
"Why hello, there, Potter, Black, Remus, and Pettigrew" Said Lily
"Hello, Evans, you should stay in the classroom or you'll be late for Transfiguration." James replied with a smirk
"Well, actually, I am just leaving because class is done and it's already break." Lily said flatly as she shrugged "Unless you want me to attend class with the Second years."
The Marauders stopped dead.
"What?" James asked, his smirk fading away from his face and is replaced with a bit of a horrified look
"You heard me; I am just leaving because class is done and it's already break." Lily answered "Professor McGonagall was disappointed that you four missed class." It was her turn to smirk now.
"Peter, you said we're about to be 5 minutes late from class?" Remus demanded from his friend
"Huh, but we are." Peter responded, looking at his watch and then he flinched. "Oh wait… it's broken."
Lily restrained from laughing, James, Remus and Sirius are gaping at their watery-eyed friend as said friend apologized, making James and Sirius just sigh.
"Well, it doesn't matter now, at least it's now break." Said James, ignoring the fact that he and his friends just missed class, much Remus' dismay
All of a sudden, a book from nowhere landed on Sirius' head.
"Moony, Evans, your books are attacking me." He joked, earning a glare from Lily and hearing a sigh from Moony. Sirius read the title of the book and then shouted "Merlin's beard! It's a time traveling book!"
Lily's eyes went wide and the others except Remus went near Sirius to see the book
"Don't you dare open it" Lily warned, walking towards the Marauders and then held the book just as Sirius opened it and then a flash of light covered the book and it exploded.
Bang!
Smoke surrounded them, including Remus who is standing a few inches away from the others. The smoke smelled… horrible, like how cigarettes smell and as if people smoked in the room.
"Ugh, this stinks!" said Lily, fanning herself with her right hand and covered her nose with the other while the Marauders just covered their own noses.
After a while, the smoke disappeared and then, to Sirius' horror and confusion, they found themselves in Sirius' house: Number 12 Grimmauld Place.
"Merlin forbid, why are we here?" Sirius asked the ceiling for no other particular reason except for the fact that they found themselves in his house
"Okay, everyone, remain calm." Lily said in a scared voice
The 5 people tried to calm themselves down by just breathing deeply.
"Uh, Pads, what room is this?" asked James
"Music room…" Sirius answered, looking at the piano that is at the far side of the room and everything fell quiet
The door of the music room opened slowly in a dramatic way, making the atmosphere feel as if they're in a horror house attraction at a Muggle amusement park
"Holy sh*t, who the heck are you?" a teenage boy's voice from the door made the Marauders jump in surprise after falling quiet
"Screwed!" they all shouted together
