BACK TO THE FUTURE

A Harry Potter Fanfic

By Yolapeoples

(I own nothing.)

It was nighttime at Hogwarts and the Gryffindor boys of our story slept soundly in their beds in the boys' dormitory. Or at least most of them did. Harry tossed and turned in his bed.

"No…Sirius…" he muttered in his sleep.

He was dreaming about the Ministry, about the Department of Mysteries. It was more of a nightmare then a dream though.

Suddenly, he sat straight up in bed, awake and sweaty. Harry breathed deeply and walked down to the Gryffindor common room where he sat on one of the couches.

"Harry?"

Thinking about a possible Lily attack even with the progress they had made this afternoon, Harry startled himself wide awake. He noticed it was a false alarm as an armchair swiveled around and there sat Remus. Harry looked at him quizzically.

Remus seemed to understand. "I stayed up late reading. Kind of always do, but that's beside the point. What's with you?"

"Couldn't sleep."

"Reasonable excuse."

There was silence and Remus went to turn back around to his book when Harry said, "What if I told you something really, really bad was going to happen?"

"I wouldn't be too surprised unfortunately. What with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and all. I'm guessing you know about him."

"Only too well." said Harry under his breath, before addressing Remus again, "But I mean something really bad."

Harry could tell Remus was trying to follow, but couldn't. Of course, that was understandable. Remus had no idea what kind of fate awaited him.

"What if-"

"No specifics, okay?" said Remus, "You've got to understand by now how much too much information can mess with time."

"Okay." said Harry slowly, "What if I told you that… someone… someone that you trusted was going to betray you and everyone else and cause the deaths of… of…"

Remus motioned that he got it. "Well, I'd probably be kind of sad, but there's always got to be a bit of hope, right?"

"Well, I guess. I mean, after a long time, you sort of meet someone you thought was gone forever and things probably seem a bit better for a time, but then… well… then, that person dies."

"No offense, Moony, but your life sounds like it's going to suck." came a voice from the staircase.

"Padfoot? Couldn't sleep either?" asked Remus.

"Actually, I was going to sneak down to the kitchen for a midnight snack, but what you guys are talking about seems interesting enough." said Sirius as he walked down the stairs and sat on the floor, "So, what's in store for me?"

"Well," Harry looked at Remus, "I can't say any details, but basically what I told Remus at the beginning with the whole betraying thing and then, well, you'll be accused of something you'd never think of doing and sent to…well, Azkaban. Too many details?" Harry asked Remus. Remus shrugged and waved it off.

Sirius looked shocked, but shrugged it off, "It's better than what Minnie predicted during career advice, I suppose."

Harry figured he should continue since Sirius didn't look very happy about his fate, "But it'll get better and you'll meet back with someone you'd… lost touch with and well, meet me. Umm… then after that, you'll be forced back to a place you'd thought you'd never go back to ever again… uh… then… ah…" Harry wondered if he should tell Sirius about his death at the Ministry, a touchy subject for himself, let alone Sirius.

"That's enough." said Remus.

"Aw man." complained Sirius.

You're happier not knowing.

"Now, we have to sleep." said Remus.

"What? Why? We don't have classes tomorrow!!"

"Yeah, but we've got to continue GJALTOE."

"Yes, Moony! Yes we do!!" exclaimed Sirius in awe at the fact that Remus had accepted the acronym.

Harry laughed. For now, this was enough.

"Okay. So, this time it's your turn to come up with a plan, Moony." sighed Sirius.

"Good, because I've already thought of one."

"Man, I wanted you to get all freaked out like you do at the full moon because you hadn't thought of a plan yet." said Sirius, snapping his fingers.

"Well, ha to you. And I do not get freaked out."

"Uh, yes, yes you do."

"Enough! Now, let's get moving." ended Remus. Harry and Sirius nodded.

"Harry?" asked Lily as she caught up to her son and pulled on his sleeve.

"What?" asked Harry in that high-and-mighty tone that completely says "What do you want, you annoying person whom I do not want to be seen with ANYWHERE?!" that gets on everyone's nerves (you all know what I'm talking about), stopping and turning to face her with an annoyed look on his face.

"Harry, what's wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. Jeez, you sound like my mother." he said and rolled his eyes, "What did you want?"

Lily looked at him quizzically, but assumed in her little Harry-love-filled head that he was simply annoyed because James Git Potter had crashed their get-together. This thought giving her new-found confidence, Lily said cheerfully, "I just wanted to know what happened yesterday. You never showed."

"Oh. That." Harry made the last word sound like 'that' had been some tiring chore that no one wanted to do, like digging ditches or something, "Sorry. I didn't feel like it."

"What?" Now Lily was a bit cross about the situation. I mean, the boy had asked her to meet her out by the lake and he didn't come because he "didn't feel like it".

"You heard me." said Harry, turning back around and continuing his way to class holding his books in one hand and balancing them on his shoulder, whistling idly as he went.

Lily stood unable to mouth, her mouth agape, eyes wide and cheeks blushing in fury and embarrassment. She had gotten stood up by a fifth-year after all.

"Remus!" asked Lily as Remus turned the corner and nearly ran into her.

Looking rather shocked, Remus said, "Yeah?"

"I think there's something wrong with Harry."

"What do you mean?"

"Well… He was so cold and mean to me this morning."

Remus raised an eyebrow, "Okay?"

"Yeah, but I don't know why. I was wondering if you knew if something bad happened to him lately or something."

"Not that I know of, but I'm just warning you, Lily, that as one of Sirius' best friends, I could tell you that when a guy is mean to you or ignores your presence, that would probably mean he's not interested anymore."

It was now Lily's turn to be shocked. Remus shrugged, "Just thought I should warn you." And they parted ways.

The mood at lunch that day could be best expressed as depressed. On both ends of the Gryffindor table hung rain clouds: one over James and one over Lily. Harry, Sirius and Remus sat by James. Everyone was quiet as Peter came up and sat down with them in the farthest seat from Harry. Harry closed his eyes tight, telling himself not to blow up. Remus looked at him funny, but decided to let Harry be. The rest of lunch went by in complete silence. Even Sirius restrain himself from making any comments.

Throughout the day, determined to make Remus eat his words, Lily persisted in trying to make contact with Harry. Despite this, Harry remained strong, pushing her off and acting as cold as he could to his own mother. By the time classes ended, Lily was no where to be found and as the boys did their homework (or at least Remus did, anyway), they saw that their work paid off as Harry arm went invisible, solid and then semi-transparent again.

"Yes! It worked!" exclaimed Sirius happily.

"Yeah, okay, but this is no time for celebration." said Remus.

"Killjoy."

"So what if I am?" asked Remus indignantly, "It's now more than ever that we have to get James and Lily together."

Harry tried to understand how all the pieces were coming together. "Add Lily not thinking James was that bad of a person and subtract her liking me and you get them liking each other?"

"Well, yes. That and we need to give them a bit of a push."
