THANK YOU FOR READING 3


It took a while for the six time travellers to recover from Dumbledore's words. Lily began to cry, to which Teddy leaned over and put an arm around her.

"It's going to be okay, Lil." He said quietly, "Professor Dumbledore will figure it out, right guys?"

James, Scorpius, Albus and Rose all remained silent, their eyes averting to the table top.

"Well…" Teddy breathed, "…I know it's going to be okay."

Teddy was lying. He didn't know it was going to be okay. They were in the past for Merlin's sake! There was no magical object that could send you forwards in time! They were in the past….the PAST! Sirus Black was still alive… his parents were still alive…

"Is Dumbledore still talking to Grandma?" Rose asked softly, breaking him from his thoughts.

Teddy paused and thought, "Probably, Molly hasn't come back yet."

It was then that Rose began to cry, followed by Albus turning away from them to rub his eyes. Even this outburst of tears had Teddy's eyes welling up. Scorpius was the only one dry eyed. It wasn't normal for people to cry in his household; and if he absolutely HAD to be stuck in the past it might as well have been with this lot. He wasn't that concerned.

He gave Albus a friendly pat on the back, and Rose one on the arm.

"We don't even know the date!" James grunted.

"You should have asked Dumbledore then!" Rose snapped back at him.

"Well excuse me if my mind was otherwise occupied." James hissed.

"Shut up, will you?" Albus said lowly, "Both of you."

Teddy unwrapped his arm from Lily's shoulders. And averted his eyes to the floor.

"Maybe we should get a copy of the Prophet?" He said, more to the floor than to his family.

"I don't know," Rose sighed. "Won't it be a bit weird asking for a copy? What are we going to say?"

"How about: 'Hi Grandma, we're your Grandkids from the future and we need a copy of The Prophet to find out the date'." James said, sarcasm lacing his tone.

Suddenly the door creaked and Molly walked into the room. She was carrying a plate of biscuits and coincidentally had a copy of The Daily Prophet tucked under her arms. She placed the biscuits in the middle of the long table and then looked at Teddy.

"Dumbledore said you would need a copy of this, dear. Something about your work."

Teddy's eyes snapped up to her. Apparently not so coincidentally. It seemed Dumbledore had already thought through their dilemma. The man must have known everything.

"Ah… yeah. Thanks." He smiled.

He grabbed the newspaper and looked at the date.

"Gosh everyone…" He said discreetly, "It's already the 20th of January, 1996."

"Oh wow," Scorpius said, catching on. "Time really flies!"

The six smiled at Molly, trying to cover their tears. She looked back at them warmly, though a hint of suspicion glinted in her eyes. Teddy began to absently flip through the pages of the paper.

"Dumbledore said you'd all need to stay here for a while." She said suddenly, "I have 3 rooms with clean sheets. I can prepare more for tomorrow night, but I'm sure you'd rather share."

"Thank you." Said Teddy, looking up from the newspaper. "I'm sure we'll be right to share for the night."

"I'll bunk with Teddy." Rose said suddenly.

Teddy frowned. "I was thinking more me and Jame…ie. Myself and Jamie will bunk, then you and Lil."

Rose huffed. "Fine okay."

Teddy smiled, "It's okay, Rosie, you're still my favourite cousin!"

Rose stood up abruptly, the movement of the chair making a loud screeching noise against the floor. "Don't call me your cousin! I'm not your cousin."

Teddy looked taken aback, but it was James that spoke back to her.

"He's as good as!" James yelled, his nostrils flaring, "How dare you say he's not part of the family!"

"Jamie…" Teddy warned.

Rose's ears turned bright red, and her eyes began to well up with tears. "That's not what I was saying." She turned to Mrs. Weasley, "Can you please take me to my room."

Mrs. Weasley gave a knowing smile and nodded, leading her from the room. Once he was sure that they were out of earshot, James spoke up.

"What on EARTH was that about?!" He yelled.

Albus suddenly became very interested in the biscuit he was eating, and Scorpius felt tears welling in his eyes for the first time since they had arrived.

"I think Rose is just scared." Lily shrugged.

Teddy pulled a half smile, but James was still fuming.

"Don't listen to her, Ted." He said shortly, "She doesn't know anything about anything."

It was then that Sirus Black walked into the room.

"Merlin, are you still up?" He coughed, "I could have sworn Molly had taken you all up to bed already."

"No, just took the cow." James said in an annoyed tone.

"Don't call her that." Albus snapped, rising to his feet. "I'm going to bed."

Sirius snapped his eyes to the Harry look-alike. "If you go up the stairs and make a right t…"

"I'm sure I'll find it." Albus cut him off. "Scorp, Come with me."

The two stomped out of the kitchen.

"Go with them, Lil." Teddy forced a smile.

Lily turned to him, a slight crease forming on her forehead. She huffed before bounding out of the room and after her brother and Scorpius.

"You too, Jamie." Teddy looked him in the eyes.

"What!?" James yelped. "I'm sixteen! I'm allowed to stay up with you and Sirius!"

"Jame.."

"Fine!" He groaned, before quickly (and loudly) exiting the kitchen.

There was silence between Sirius and Teddy for a moment. If he was honest, this is what Teddy wanted. He hoped that maybe, just maybe, Sirius would say something about his Mum or Dad. They were friends, right? Surely Sirius talked about them all the time!

"And then there were two." Sirius chuckled. "Where you from, kid?"

"I can't tell you." Teddy said quietly.

Sirius frowned. "Oh, come on Ted, it is Ted right? You've got to give me something. I'm stuck in here all the time with nothing to do. Just give a man a bit of fun."

"I'm sorry, I can't." Teddy said shortly.

"Alright, fine." Sirius huffed.

Teddy looked down at his now hands. This is not how he expected his alone time with Sirius. Where was all the talk about his parents? Isn't that all Sirius was supposed to do? Talk about Remus and Tonks? Teddy frowned at this thought. Of course Sirius had other thoughts in his head. It was Teddy who didn't think about anything else.

"Well, I think I'll call it a night." Teddy said hesitantly as he stood up.

"No, Stay!" Sirius protested. "I promise I won't ask questions about who you are or where you're from."

Teddy considered this proposition for a few moments, before shaking his head. Perhaps this was too much for him. He wasn't ready to talk to anyone about his parents.
