- 1999
Harry Potter yawned and stretched as he drifted away from his slumber. He lay in bed for a few seconds, listening to the sounds of the waking house. He smiled as he thought of Luna. She would be coming for morning tea today, as was Lavender. Mrs Weasley had said something about wanting to 'meet her boy's girlfriends'. Remus and Sirius would be joining them for morning tea as well; they were expected at around 10. He grinned, happy at the thought of being able to see his God Father and Remus, and looked at the clock. It was half past nine. He quickly got up; pulled on a black t-shirt with a snitch fluttering in the centre of it, and pulled on some jeans. He then headed downstairs.
He entered the kitchen, which was nearly full. He sat next to Ron, who passed him a muffin.
Harry smiled- it was going to be a good day.
A few seconds later the doorbell rang, and Ron and Harry raced to answer it.
Ron got there first and opened it smiling expectantly. His face dropped a bit when he saw it was Sirius and Remus.
"Oh hey you two, come on in. Is Lav out there?"
Sirius grinned and mouthed 'Lav?' to Harry over Rons shoulder
Harry smothered his laughter and sat down across from the two Marauders.
"So Harry" started Remus, who had not missed the exchange between Godson and Godfather, looked up at him whilst accepting a crumpet from Fred. "What does Luna think of being called 'Lulu?"
Harry chocked on his glass of pumpkin juice, and Ron, Sirius and the twins laughed uproariously.
The door bell rang, and Harry was saved from making up a come back so he settled for a rude gesture, and then he ran to open the door.
It was about ten minutes later when Mrs Weasley had sat down, that she noticed something odd.
"Where are Hermione and Ginny?"
Everyone looked to their side, expecting them to say "We're here!"
But no one did.
"Maybe their still upstairs?" suggested Ron shrugging.
"Mmm maybe… Could you two go get them?" she asked Ron and Harry.
The boys nodded and sprinted upstairs, wanting to get back to their girlfriends.
"Hey you two, come down stairs!" shouted Ron, pounding on their door.
There was no reply.
Harry looked at his friend, getting slightly worried.
Ron shrugged and opened the door. They weren't in there.
"Girls?" asked Harry looking around the room, Ron following.
"Harry?" Ron's voice croaked.
"Yeah… What?"
"Look at this letter."
Harry went over and took the piece of parchment from his friend, who was very pale.
He read it over twice, his heart beating uncomfortably fast.
"Holy shit"
"You don't think they would-" asked Ron quietly
"Ginny might, but Hermione? She knows how tricky time travel is…"
"How do we know for sure?"
Harry glanced at the letter, then back to Ron. "Remus and Sirius would've known them- if they went, that is"
Ron nodded and they ran out of the room, both yelling
"SIRIUS! REMUS!"
Remus looked up from his blueberry muffin, hearing the boys scream his and Sirius' names.
"What on earth?" said Molly as the two boys skidded into the kitchen "Where's Hermione and Ginny?"
Ron shook his head and Harry turned to the Marauders.
"Did you know two girls called Mia and Harriet Carson?" Harry said breathlessly.
The two men's faces paled considerably.
"How do you know about Mia?" Remus asked hoarsely.
"Or Harriet?" added Sirius, equally shocked.
Ron and Harry shared a look, their suspicions confirmed. Harry passed the letter from Pettigrew to Remus, who then read it out loud.
"To Miss Granger and Miss Weasley
First off, let me apologize for what is about to happen, but I could think of no other way.
You see, I knew you. Both of you- Before we met that is... if that makes sense?"
"Not really" said George, but was quickly silenced by a glare from Mrs Weasley.
Remus continued.
"I remember two girls from my time at Hogwarts. And I know that they were, are you. You have a chance to change everything. Please do. Harry deserves parents. Sirius needn't go to Azkaban. Remus doesn't have to suffer. I don't have to betray my only friends. I know you may think me insane. I would too, in your place. The thing is, you don't have a choice. What has already happened will happen, I just thought it would be easier on you if I helped a bit. First off; a cover story for you. Your names are Mia and Harriet Carson. You are sisters, and were home schooled. You both wanted to take your N.E.W.T.S at Hogwarts, so your parents let you. Use a glamour charm for your looks, but don't change too much about your appearance. I am pretty sure I am the only one who matched you two girls and the two girls I knew together. I don't know what will happen, just please; don't let it turn out the way it has now.
I will be forever in your debt and I hope that you will change what you see fit.
Good luck, to the both of you
P. Pettigrew"
He looked at Sirius for a second, and then dropped the parchment and fled out of the house, slamming the door behind him.
Everyone looked at each other, then at the closed door, and then to Sirius, who had his head in his hands.
"Sirius?" Harry asked tentatively. "What's wrong? Did you know them? Ginny and Hermione; as Mia and Harriet."
Sirius looked up at them all, and his eyes were unusually bright.
"Yeah… yeah we knew them."
OK I AM SOOOOO SORRY about the lack of updates! I have made a promise to finish this fic, and by Holy Merlin's daughters' friends' nephews' second cousin twice removed on his fathers' side, I WILL FINISH IT!!! Just don't expect it to be anytime soon… guilty smile
Oh, and one of my friends asked 'how is Mia pronounced?'
Its pronounced My-a ok? NOT Mee-a. I should've thought of that before, as I have a little cousin called Mia (as in Mee-a) but a friend called Mia (as in My-a)…
Ok! On with the story!
Oh and if you wanted to make guesses at the plot, etc, feel free, might give me some cool ideas, and then I will thank you for said idea and people will like you!!! Yeah. I'm just gonna stop typing now…
