Chapter 10: Lily
A few minutes later,
"LILY!" James said as he ran into the Hospital Wing.
"JAMES!" she sobbed when he reached her bed. She threw herself into his arms. "I couldn't save them. They hit me with the Cruciatus. He hit them with the other unforgivable."
James didn't need to be told which one. The same thing had happened to him. The Death Eaters, or Voldemort in his case, would hit the child with the Cruciatus until he or she was too weak to do anything, then use Avada Kedavra on his or her parents before turning to the child. It was usually at this time that the aurors would appear and one would sent a message to Dumbledore. Once the message was sent, Voldemort would leave. A lot of kids were made orphans this way.
"Did you see which Death Eater?" James asked.
"It was the Dark Lord himself." A voice said behind him.
Lily forced herself to look up and saw the time travelers with the other two Marauders.
"How do you know?" Lily asked Snape (he had spoken)
"We're from the future." Arthur explained. "We came to get the kids."
"So, everything's going to be okay?" Lily asked
"Oh yes." Older Remus said "And I believe it starts now when you tell the Marauders what's been happening in the Head's Dorm."
"REMUS?" Harry said in shock. The way he made it sound like was if his parents were getting a head start on him.
"Nothing like that." Older Sirius told his horrified godson. "I take it you've been given the TALK?"
Older Remus then whacked Older Sirius upside the head.
"OW! What was that for, Moony?" Older Sirius asked.
"For leaving me with that task, Padfoot." Older Remus said.
"What happens in the Head's Dorm?" Younger Sirius asked James and Lily
"Nothing much." James said while Lily blushed. "Just civilized talks, snogging sessions, homework help…"
"Whoa! Back Up!" Younger Sirius said. "What was that?"
"Homework help?" James said.
"Before that." Younger Remus said.
"Civilized talks?" James tried.
"In the middle." Younger Sirius said
"Oh! The few snogging sessions." James said.
"You call ten few?" Lily asked
"You keep track?" James asked his girlfriend.
"TEN?!" the younger Marauders exclaimed.
"Yeah. Lily and I are going out now." James said reminding Hermione and Ron of Harry.
"Bloody Hell." Younger Sirius said.
"So, what's going on?" Lily asked her boyfriend.
"Apparently, Ron, Harry, and Hermione are time travelers. Harry's real name is Harry Potter. My son from the future." James explained before whispering, "OUR son."
Lily then turned to her future son. Now that she thought about it, he not only looked like James, but he had her eyes and a few other minor features. Her hand came up to her mouth in shock as Harry smiled at her.
"We have to get going before we change the future." Arthur said.
"That is correct." Future Dumbledore said. "Fawkes."
The phoenix appeared from the rafters and landed on Harry's shoulder.
"Hi Fawkes." Harry said.
"Would the time travelers please gather around?" Dumbledore said.
Hermione, Ron, Harry, Older Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, Arthur, and Dumbledore all put their hands on Fawkes.
"Good bye." Harry said to his parents.
With a flash of golden-red flames, the phoenix was gone with the travelers.
"That was interesting." Remus said.
"So, you two are going out now?" Sirius asked his best friend as James held Lily.
