The time change
Chapter four
More classes, a battle, and the visit
before long they headed out into the empty Hall and made their way to breakfast sending Remus to wake Peter it was not long before they caught up to the group and soon they were all in the great hall eating breakfast "so what is the runes teacher like"
"alright so you three are stuck with muggle studies divanation care of magical creatures and you" he said pointing to Hermione "have runes as well"
"yes that is our schedule we did not have a choice or I would not have taken Divination and Harry would not be caught in muggle studies nor would I for that manner as it gets old to hear them miss pronounce so much after all"
"oh that's right your muggle born well it will be fairly easy and Harry didn't you grow up with muggles"
"yea not the nicest of muggles but still"
"Harry that is the understatement of the year you do realize that if they weren't such cowards you wouldn't have managed past two"
"true Song but saying things like that makes me look just like the papers want me to"
"point taken still there are no papers reporting on you here so your safe at the very least"
"thanks Tears I'll keep that in mind Hey do you think that the Beetle lady is reporting now that we disappeared"
"oh I hope so then someone in the DA can call her out"
"Bolt that reminds me thanks for telling them this should be good"
"Guys we have to get going to muggle studies" with that the group left each class passed that day as expected and by lunch that day when the fifth years and seventh years were done for the day they headed out toward the grounds
As the Group all walked Harry Stopped suddenly grasping his head in pain but soon coming to his face filled with terror "he's here at the gates he brought help we need to warn the others"
"wait who's here why do we need to warn the others"
Voldamort is here and it is clear why we need to warn the others Sky can you warn the headmaster" the last thing was very tactful as Sky was the best with Phoenix fire travel and so was also the one who could stay calmest therefore would have the easiest time telling the professor of the problem also she did not give time for interruption with a sudden pop and burst of flames Luna as Sky was gone
"alright were not taking any chances of changing the future so every one but phoenixes get every one off the grounds Tears you can yell the loudest so can you use the amplifier spell and tell every one on the grounds only of course"
"my pleasure EVERY ONE GET IN THE CASTLE NOW VOLDAMORT IS ON HIS WAY GET TO YOUR COMMON ROOMS UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE NOW how was that"
"perfect now every one but the phoenixes better follow out that order there is no way we want to risk anything this battle is undocumented which means---" he was cut off by the death eaters And of course there master flying in with force attacking a few first years the teachers and Luna got out Luna joining her fellow phoenixes in battle with voldamort they did there best and he was all but over powered it was not long before they had forced him to call a retreat but it was long enough Alice, Lilly, Sirius, and Peter (they all tried not to smile at the last one) were in the hospital wing all but Peter only had miner injuries luckily but sadly Frank, James and though they had never personally met him they were distressed to hear Giden Prewet a seventh year was also there
The morning after the battle breakfast was served in the common rooms for those who did not know the injured and the Hospital wing for those who did " I have to visit Frank I need to see him" Alice said this in distress as she had woken up to the news of her boyfriends whereabouts Lily was admitting her need to see James as well apparently Harry's presence had made her admit that he was sweet and kind once he saw him interact with Harry and take a crucio curse for her helped
"Alright you two and Padfoot and Moony will be let out after breakfast so we can go ask madam pomphrey now about getting you all to go to saint mungo's" the phoenixes new convincing the matron would be hard so they set out together to talk her into it
"madam pomphrey we were wondering if we could get transportation for four to go to saint mungo's later today"
"I'm sorry mister porter but after the battle unless you get an escort and aporate you will not be able to get any way there the floo is in constant use for patent transfer and a portkey will be denied I'm afraid that your not the only one to come to me about such an act Fabian prewett was here not an hour ago"
"madam pomphrey what about phoenix fire travel"
"I would say yes to that but the headmasters bird is not for you to travel with nor would he unless you are fully trusted"
"well I wasn't thinking about Fox" Harry got quick permission from his friends without the nurse hearing any thing
"if you were not considering the headmasters bird then what were you thinking of surely you do not know anyone else which such a rare bird"
"no none of us own a phoenix but that says nothing for our anamagi forms" with this the eight students were replaced with eight phoenixes flying gracefully in place shocking the nurse
"well I guess that's set but one thing I ask you make take those four you choice but also I ask that you take Fabian he is extremely eager to see his twin and this would be his only way"
the group looked at each other in silent debate then transforming back with his friends Harry spoke "we'll do it if we can get him to swear never to tell any one"
"very well I will have him come down here from class I suggest you and your friends go back to your tower to get ready for the visit to saint mungo's you can use my office to leave so you do not attract attention from other students as it is protacall to leave for saint mungo's through the nurses office"
the group left happy for there privilege of visiting Frank and James in fact as they left the hospital wing every one stared as Alice and Lilly twirled around letting the hems of there robes battle worn spun and twirled every one knew from there sight that they had fought yet they seemed happy why? It was a surprise to all and of course it was Severis who took notice of it first
"Lilly did you get hit in the head yesterday" the phoenixes did there best to act as they did not no there future professor who they all respected now that they had learned he was not bad or arrogant (well not to much) but really just upset at the loss of his best friend
"no Sev I did not hit my head I'm just happy because somehow these eight here found a way to get me and Alice to go to Saint Mungo's soon to see for me James And Alice to see Frank"
the young boy looked at her like she was crazy "Lilly you must have hit your head your talking about Potter you hate Potter with a passion remember"
"well Sev I used to hate James you see but the last day or so I realized he is realized that he can be really nice and sweet yesterday in the battle he jumped in front of some new unknown curse for me it could have done anything it could have killed him but her took the risk and it was some sort of curse that was really painful"
"he did that wow I didn't think he would do that for anyone you know how he treats me" at this point it was time for Harry to interrupt
"you know James and the marauders only target you all the time because James is afraid that you and Lilly will be more then friends at some point"
"how do you know that and for that matter who are you any way"
"I'm Harry porter I know because I am his roommate and he all but told me and my friends you know all you have to do is let him know that you and Lilly are just friends"
"alright then Lilly do you think you can ask him and his friends not to curse me next time I try to talk to him"
"sure thing now we have to all go change and get ready we have to meet the other person going with us in about an hour"
"right then see you all when you get back" with that they all left for the Gryphndor common rooms while severis headed toward the dungeons
"Hurry up guys we have to go" this was called to two seventh years who were taking to long restocking there instant darkness powder having used all of there stock the night before
it was not to long before the seventh years were lent some powder that the fifth year boys had already bagged and went down the stairs to see the girls all waiting trying there best to copy Luna as to entertain themselves "sky how do you do it I'm about to hex those two oafs for making us wait so long"
"Ginny how dare you even try to use such hexes on your brothers"
"nice try sharp nose Tallons but not going to happen" as the group walked there was no more noise from any one as they all knew that they were going to see James Potter sick and that was defiantly not a sight even the marauders had seen that Harry had not even thought about it but oh well he was sure that seeing his friends would cheer James up and all the phoenixes had to be there to bring five people as they needed to such a long distance
the group reached the hospatal wing and swore Fabian Prewet to secrecy then they left for saint mungo's they then waited in line and the witch who was kind pointed them to the wing with the injured from the battle where Fabian joined his twin and the others went several beds down passing several sick students and finally they ended up at the beds of Frank and James
the curtan's were drawn in a way making it so that the two patents could only seen by each other and any one who visited them of course so the group smiled as the charts that showed the patents names read the names of there friends they headed in the curtans to be greeted of the sight of the two friends talking quietly
"hey guys what are you doing here by the way wear is here"
"well you are at saint Mungo's and thanks to the phoenixes by the way sense its only us and Fabian prewett who gets to leave the castle"
"wow how did you guys manage that"
"simple we found a means of travel no one else has"
"smart any way what's going on with the battle were there any deaths many injured"
"well yes there were plenty injured but no deaths on are side have been reported though one death eater was found dead"
"alright then well we figure that are parents are here and have gone to get tea or something because that would be the only way they would leave"
"right that makes sense I suppose" Harry got odd looks from every one around even his friends
"what I wouldn't know would I"
"you have a good point you wouldn't know would you" At this point the curtains were pulled back in walked for adults in there thirties Harry knew one as Neville's grandmother another looked a lot like Frank so it must have been his father the other two must have been his grandparents
"what would someone not know" Sirius was about to answer when Harry cut in
"He was just agreeing with me about me not knowing anything about something James said" this did not seem to satisfy the man who he assumed was the eldest Potter
"James what did you say anyway"
"wow someone has a lot of questions forget it dad it was just some general comment about parents and Harry wouldn't know about that with reason"
"alright now I don't think I have been introduced to all of your friends here do you mind" Mr. potter seemed to think that he should not pry further
"oh right sorry this is Lilly Evans, Harry Porter, Neville Lindon, Luna Lord, Hermione Granger, Ginny west, Ron West, George West, Fred west, and Alice Thomas " he pointed to each in turn and his slight smile at each of the time travelers last names did not go amiss
"oh and what do you find so funny about your friends last names" this made the time travelers tense slightly but it was well hidden as they did not want to be caught by these adults telling them the fate of there kids would not go over well
"I don't think there last names are funny" he was lying and that much was clear
"James you never answered my question and you know you cant lie to me" James looked pleading at the time travelers quickly but his mother did not notice the time travelers talked it over through there phoenix phones as they were called by the group and decided to cast a few protective charms over the bed then nodded at his father to allow him to tell
"alright there's no hiding it from you the seven people I tried not to laugh while introducing- by the way haven't I mentioned Lilly enough over the last four summers-plus Hermione are from about twenty or so years in the future and I was trying not to laugh because well all of them but Hermione of course are from well known pure blood families"
"yes and we will all just go and think this is not some weird joke why"
"well before we go into that story let me properly introduce them"
"alright then"
"this is Ginny Weasly her older brothers Fred George and Ron, Luna Lovegood, Neville longbottom" at this he had to pause because of gasps from the older Longbottoms "and finally Harry Potter" at this name the two elder Potters gasped in surprise at his last name
"now we better explain everything"
"I think it would be best if you just told us Your parents name first"
"alright "Harry's parents were Lilly and James Potter Neville's are Frank and Alice longbottom"
"why did you use the past tense"
"um Harry's an orphan unless we change time which we are"
"you mean that Lilly and James died" this came from James' mom who looked ready to cry"
"I'm afraid so but we are going to take advantage of whatever brought us here and work things to fit are time and be better for us"
"how do you plan to do that"
"well as Harry and Hermione no from experence that things are not always what they seem we can change time without changing a thing as they have done only on a much smaller scale"
"wait you didn't tell us about this when did you change time before now" this was said by Lilly who trying to sound disapproving and failing
"in our third year well we explained about meeting Sirius well he was captured for a time and so we went back in time and save not only a hipagryph but Sirius from death or a fate worse"
"okay what is worse then death anyway"
"the dementors kiss of course"
"what's that" a very confused looking mister Potter said this
"are serious it's when the dementor sucks your soul out"
"when did the ministry start doing this last time I checked they never would"
"well it happens any way we should probally explain where you are for the fourteen years that have passed in our time with all of this happening"
"yes what did happen to all of us"
"well you to were said to have holed up in Potter manner never leaving we assume that you are there as is said but that is were the supposed dead are as well it would make sense the most"
"yes I guess so" they went on explaining every thing the older Potters and Long bottoms needed to live then as the students left getting Fabian Prewett as they went they got back to Hoqwarts they went to dinner happily and even let Snape set with them not even the Marauders complained that night he was taken into there trust and promised for the sake of the future to be horrible to all houses but his own as a teacher and become a spy and do all he had to
"so how are you really sure that James is only jealous of me"
"because Sirius told me back in my own time"
"I guess that makes sense but if you don't mind me asking why would he tell you that"
"Ginny might have mentioned something about an accident with her ex-boyfreind"
"what did you do"
"he hexed him into a wall"
"it was duling club I said I wasn't going easy on any one"
"and that had nothing to do with him wanting to get back together with me"
"none at all"
"Harry"
"alright maybe a little tiny bit but still did you have to tell Sirius"
"Kind of I thought he might give you a warning about not doing something stupid to Flinch-Fletchly"
"fair enough"
"wait you to are going out"
"yes we are didn't we ever mention that"
"no you didn't"
"alright well mom can you keep quite and make sure dad does when your in the future not a lot of people know well only the marauders and the phoenixes know"
"hmm is there any reason why you didn't tell any one else"
"yes gossip at Hogwarts about anyone is annoying for one and secondly know one really wants Harry to get hurt so telling any other weasly would be bad considering Ginny has three other brothers that are all out of Hogwarts and really over protective"
"makes sense I'll make sure James keeps quite when the time for it comes"
"thank you"
with these last words it was up to bed for every one and so they all left tired and ready for some well earned sleep
A/N: hope you like it by the way Snape is only Lilly's friend in this story and he dosent like her in any other way
