Chapter 4: Grandma?

December 16, 1996; Past

"Oh, did I?" Lily said in the manor of someone who didn't forget at all. "Grandma?"

Molly I gasped. "What? Your Ginny's kids, too?" She asked, looking at Albus and James.

"The one and only Ginny-" James began.

"Who is in my heart dearly-" Fred took over.

"Your aunt, you say?"

"Oh, yes, Jamesies-"

"Do not call me that-"

"Why not?"

"SHUT UP!" Everyone seemed taken back as Rose, Lily and Nikki screamed it at the same time.

"Dom, Lils, Rosie. Calm down, please." Vic said, rubbing her temples.

"Hey! Guys! I came back early to tell-" Angelina stopped suddenly, noticing the silence. "Hello? Anyone? Teddy! Victoire!" She called.

Angelina ran up the stairs and looked into the Potters' playroom. It was empty. She swore under her breath. "Homenum Revelio," she muttered. Nothing happened.

"Oh, they are so dead."

"So…" Molly I said. "Does anyone want to explain just how you got here?"

"Yes," Nikki said, sending a glare towards the boys, "who wants to explain?"

"Well, you see," James said, "it wasn't really my fault. It was Albus'-"

"Hey!"

"- Because he's the clumsy one who bumped in Fred-"

"Yes, it was not my fault either, Nikki," Fred said.

"-And then I dropped the Time-Turner-"

Lily gasped. "You stole Dad's new Time-Turner."

"-It was for a good cause. Our game, you see-"

"-Our lovely game-"

"-I won, you know-"

"-Anyways, after Clumsy over there hit me, the Phoenix tears-"

"What Phoenix tears?" Rose asked sharply.

"-I'll explain in a minute, love." ("Don't call me love!") "Anyway, the Phoenix tears hit the Time-Turner, which spun, sending-"

"-Us into the future," James finished.

"Wait, how far behind does Uncle Harry's Time-Turner go?" Rose asked.

"Two and a third minutes," Albus informed.

"Two and a third?" Lily nodded. "Interesting…" Everyone watching as Rose thought. "That means that the Phoenix tears multiplied the strength of the Time-Turner by roughly 5180914.4," she looked at twenty pairs of incredulous eyes. "What? I like math, okay?" She said defensively.

"Definitely Granger's kid, then," Mad-Eye growled.

"Wait, where did you come from?" Molly I asked.

"The Potters' House," Hugo said. "Ted and Vic were babysitting us."

Molly I frowned. "Why weren't you at school?"

"Because everyone got to go home a week earlier than normal for Christmas break. Something about Peeves the Poltergeist and a blown up loo." It was true. They had gotten home four days prior because Peeves had indeed blown up all the toilets again.

"Oh."
