Chapter Seven: Time Turner?
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
"Dumbledore, I'm sure you realize that we all have things to do…places to be, so an explanation would be nice!" Alastor Moody snapped, he was never one for patience.
The old headmaster nodded, indicating he was ready to explain. Everyone quieted down, when Dumbledore had something to say many knew that they should pay attention – they had to with all the riddles he spook in. Even young Harry looked around with wide emerald eyes, almost sensing the tension in the room; he whimpered but remained quiet.
James and Al held their sister's smaller hands in theirs, offering her comfort as all their hearts beat faster and their stomachs clenched uncomfortably.
They had to admit, they felt that they were on a rollercoaster of emotions. Should they be happy that the truth would finally be out, and they wouldn't have to lie to their own grandparents? Or should they be scared of the possible rejection that awaited? Maybe they should feel hopeless, because they still weren't home.
"Hmm where to start?" Dumbledore wondered aloud. "The beginning may be less confusing…yes let's start with the beginning!"
"Lily…James do you remember when John, Al, and Luna first dropped into my office?"
Lily noticed the scowl on her husband's face, and so she decided to answer, "Of course Albus, they somehow managed to apparate into the walls of Hogwarts, but I still don't understand how…"
"Yes, one would think it was apparation" Dumbledore paced around the room as he spook, " But in fact it was by a time turner…" Many showed confusion when he said this, but it disappeared when the golden necklace was taken out of his pocket.
"…A time turner…but that would mean…" Sirius whispered as he walked over to Albus.
James noticed the advance on his brother, and immediately stood in front of him, earning a shout of "Hey I'm not four years old!" But he chose to ignore it, he wouldn't let anyone hurt his family…even if the person was someone he was named after.
Sirius just stood there silently watching the interaction between the brothers with interest in his eyes. He hadn't noticed it before, but now that he was closer he found similarities in these kid's faces that he always saw in his best friend.
Were these James' kids?
But then why did Harry seem younger then the boy in front of him?
"How did a bunch of snot – nosed kids get their grimy fingers on a time turner?" Moody asked, ignoring the defensive screams of, "Who you callin' snot – nosed, you weird metal booted…revolving eyed freak!"
John swallowed the tight knot that had developed in his throat, " If you all must know…we were…well uhh…we found it in our Dad's office."
Sirius' eyes narrowed, 'Does James have a time turner…I don't think so…but…uhhh this is so confusing!'
"Your dad's office?" Lily repeated.
"Does he work in the Ministry?" Remus asked while keeping a close eye on Sirius, he too had his suspicions about these children, but he wasn't about to say them out loud just yet.
"Uhuh daddy is the Head Auror…the youngest in wizard history!" Luna exclaimed, when it came to her dad the bragging was endless.
"Lily shut up! They don't need to know that!" John screamed, not realizing his slip up until the older Lily mentioned how rude he was, and how she had barely uttered a word.
Everyone noticed as well.
"What did you just call her!?" McGonagall asked, everyone could practically see the gears spinning in her mind.
"What!...I called her Luna…" John muttered nervously, he didn't want to give away too much, and end up not being born…or being stuck here.
"…because that's her name!...Luna…Luna Summers…yep…" He finished in a dull tone.
"You called her Lily, I heard you!" Sirius cried indignantly turning his attention to, " Albus…he said Lily!"
"I know, this may come as a shock to all of you but these young children before us are not John, Alphonse, and Luna Summers."
"You lied to us Albus…how could you!" James roared as he felt the betrayal seep through him.
"I think he just wanted to keep the universe intact James", Arthur Weasley suggested as he helped his very pregnant wife into the nearest chair.
"Arthur, when did you get here…thought you weren't coming!" Kingsley laughed.
"Ohh that would be my fault everyone…the little one had my up all night, and I just woke up from my small nap" Molly Weasley smiled warmly, as she rubbed her nine month large stomach.
"It's quite alright my dear…so is this one finally going to break the streak of boys," Dumbledore asked intrigued.
"Oh I hope so!" Molly said happily receiving bemused smiles from everyone, "Oh don't get me wrong, I love my boys more than anything, but a girl would be so nice!"
"Don't you think so Arthur?"
"…………"
"Arthur dear…" Molly tried to ask again, but noticed her husband jabbering away about muggle appliances again.
"And did you know that they find out the baby's gender by simply applying this gooey substance…and then the picture just pops up on a screen! Isn't it fascinating.!"
"ARTHUR! Now is not the time!" screamed.
"Yes dear."
"So what are your names…?" Lily asked as she noticed Harry had now dozed off, he was just like his father in that aspect. He would wake up from a simple breeze, but could fall asleep during a thunder storm.
John stared towards Dumbledore silently asking if it was safe to tell his grandmother what he desperately wanted out of the way. The deceased headmaster sighed noting all the dangers that could happen, but reluctantly nodded his approval.
"My name is James Sirius Potter," He received many gasps, and an enraged insult from his paranoid grandfather, " And these are my siblings…Albus Severus Potter, and Lily Luna Potter."
"Did he say Severus?" Sirius asked, his eyes pleading the answer would be the opposite of what he had just heard.
Everyone stayed silent, even the older James seemed stunned.
"Is what they're saying…the truth Albus?" James questioned as he looked over the trio, noting how Albus junior looked exactly like his son.
"It is."
"So are you…our children?" Their grandmother Lily asked, she probably already had an idea as to what the answer would hold.
"No they are not…but they do share a resemblance don't they." Dumbledore stated with a chuckle.
"So who exactly are your parents?" James asked in the softest tone he could manage, he didn't want to scare off his family more than he already had.
"Umm well…" Younger James stuttered, and suddenly pointed to Lily: his grandmother.
"Your holding one of them right now…"
