((Previously)))
"… Let's go to the Headmaster's office," James was of the belief that Headmaster Dumbledore could fix anything. He kept all of his trust with the old wizard.
"If he's even still headmaster, you mean." Lucius said sensibly as they all started to walk in the direction of the gargoyle statue.
"This is all Evans' fault," Sirius grumbled, receiving a loud 'IS NOT!' from Lily.
(((Chapter Two)))
September 24, 1996; 10:31
"Damn it!" James yelled at the gargoyle. Sirius looked at him funny.
"Huh? What's wrong, Pr- James?" Sirius had almost called James 'Prongs', forgetting that Lily was there. Severus looked at Sirius in disbelief.
"We don't know the password, Black, that's what," Severus rolled his eyes and muttered, 'idiot' in regards to Sirius, which he heard and leaped onto the Slytherin, trying to beat him up. Sirius was grabbing at Severus; it looked like he was trying to break his arm. Severus retaliated in punching Black in the jaw.
"Break it up you two!" Juliana screamed at the fighting boys, trying to pull Sirius off of Severus, a Remus trying to get Severus away from Sirius. "Gods Sirius! You are such a child!" Severus' clothes were a mess and his neck-length hair wasn't fairing any better. Neither was Sirius for that matter.
"Well it's better to be a child rather than a slimy git!" Sirius growled, wiping a small trickle of blood away from his mouth. Remus glared at Sirius while pulling on Severus' robes to neaten them, kissing the boy on the cheek.
"Sirius- Severus is not slimy. I should know, I spend enough time with him," Remus was a bit upset at Sirius- but this was normal behavior for the two. Lucius sighed audibly at the childishness of it all.
"If you're going to parade around the school pretending to be a young adult- act like on already. Let's just get to the Headmaster's office soon, I need a mirror." Lucius was trying to fix his hair, which, unfortunately for him, had gotten a mess when leaping away from the fighting. James agreed with Malfoy, for once, and they finally reached the Headmaster's office. They approached the gargoyle statue, and Gemini went right up to it, grinning.
"Hi Bob!" This of course attracted a few looks of surprise. Well... okay two looks of surprise. One being from Lily, while the other was from James.
"You named a gargoyle?!" Lily said in disgusted disbelief. "That is so utterly immature. Now open up you ugly little statue," she shivered slightly. It was gross! Gemini stuck her tongue out at Lily and said:
"Yes I named him. Why shouldn't I. What are we supposed to call him if he doesn't have a name? Thing? Statue? Gargoyle-Man. Hey that's pretty decent..." she murmured the last bit to herself as James sighed and stepped forward and put his hand on Bob's head. The statue moved out of the way and they went through. Lily's mouth opened, and then shut again.
"James, you should do that more often if it can get Evans to shut the hell up," Sirius muttered into James' ear.
James ignored him as the large group of students made their way up the stairs, and finally entered Dumbledore's office.
"Ah, Mister Potter. I have been waiting for you to arrive." Dumbledore said with a smile.
((I was going to end it here, but I took one look at the length and went "WHAT?!" So n/m on cutting it THIS short. I'll have to find another suitable cliffy to leave you with later on. ^.^)))
"Huh?" Sirius said, clueless as usual. Remus put the pieces together, thankfully.
"I think he means that we told him about us coming a few years ago or something.... Whenever it was that we were here." Remus looked at the looks he was getting from the group, Juliana included. "What?" Remus asked innocently, truly not understanding why they were amazed that he could decipher that from one sentence.
"Never mind it Reemie. So Headmaster..." Juliana started. She had only met the Headmaster once before- and certainly not under these circumstances. "When are we?"
"Why my dear Juliana, you are in 1996. Twenty years I should think, from when you originally are from." Juliana gaped for a moment and the group started chattering about the time.
"Twenty beers where we're from? Huh?"
"Not twenty beers you twit! Twenty years!"
"Sev, be nice to Sirius! My boyfriend's very fragile."
"Am not!"
"Shut up!" The group looked at James who had yelled at them. "Yes, we are twenty years in the future, and yes we evidently get back, so we really have no reason to be arguing over alcoholic drinks!"
"That made no sense you dork," Juliana said flatly.
"Ah, children?" Dumbledore's voice pulled them out from their own little world. He motioned to the eight seats that were now in front of his desk, and they all sat down. Of course, everyone scrambled to get away from Lily, but James ended up being stuck next to the bratty teen.
"What belongings do you eight actually have with you now?" Dumbledore asked, trying to get a hold of the situation. Sirius and James moaned as Juliana, Remus, and Gemini all leapt to their book bags and started pulling things out. Those three had charms on their bags that enabled them to carry a LOT of stuff. Apparently, now that Sirius looked at Lucius; he did as well.
After twenty minutes of everyone searching their belongings, it turned out that everyone had their own wand and schoolbooks, and apparently Juliana had the most stuff.
"Packrat," muttered Gemini. Juliana looked at her brightly and grinned.
"Thank you!" Juliana not only had thrown all of their sheet music in her bag, but she also had her keyboard (shrunk) Gemini's drum set (shrunk) and Sirius' prized guitar (also shrunk). Unfortunately for James, she hadn't snitched his guitar like she had with Sirius' and thrown it into her bag. But Juliana had stuff you wouldn't expect one to bring to class too. I mean- she had a little make-up (not much) an extra ROBE and even muggle money. Well, she had a little wizard money too- but not that much.
Then there was Lucius. His entire bag was filled with hair and beauty supplies. It was almost embarrassing. Gemini and Sirius probably had the most helpful bags though.
The both were absolutely loaded with money. Gemini shrunk most of her money, so that she could fit about four times the amount in there! At least they all had a few knickknacks with them so that it wouldn't look like they just suddenly... appeared.
"Well I suppose the best thing to do would be to enroll you in school. I can get you all new books and such-" Gemini cut the Headmaster off.
"You mean we still have to learn?!" Dumbledore chuckled and nodded.
"I'll arrange everything. I assume you all would like to be in your original houses? Or do you want to change them for while you are here?" Lily's eyes gleamed evilly.
"I want to be in Gryffindor!" Dumbledore peered at her from over his glasses.
"Very well then. But James... I will need to alter your appearance a bit."
"What? Why Professor?" James asked him. He liked how he looked. And why not anyone else!?
"Well it seems you have a son here in this time who looks remarkably like you. Lucius does as well, but there is a bit enough of a difference to tell the two apart. Unfortunately, your son could be your twin." Dumbledore sighed.
"Dude. That sucks. Who'd you knock up James?" Sirius said, earning a glare from James. "Never mind," Sirius said quickly.
In the end, Dumbledore ended up merely changing James' glasses to a small square-ish gold frames (Gemini's choice) and gave the boy brown hair and made it quite smooth and manageable. James wasn't too happy. He liked how he looked before.
Then there was the process of gaining new identities. They chose their own, of course. Sirius was now Christopher White, and his cousin/sister Juliana White. (Sirius was bitter that she got to keep her name). Then Severus' new name was Stephen Snare. Remus ended up as Robert Wolf, and James was Michael Hart. Gemini refused upon changing her name, so she kept it as Gemini, but had to change her surname to Aims. Lucius was now Luke Malloy. And Lily was Lilian Moor.
((Dude this'll be tough to keep track of. Grr.)))
Dumbledore was a bit apprehensive about giving Gryffindor six new Sixth Years, and Slytherin only two, but they didn't want to change Houses. Besides, Sirius probably would have been put into Hufflepuff and Gemini into Slytherin and Juliana and Remus into Ravenclaw and, well, they didn't want to all split up like that. Adding the girls to Gryffindor wouldn't be too bad as there were only three as it were... but eight Gryffindor males?
After all of this, Dumbledore sent them all down to their Houses, and gave both Lucius and Juliana the passwords (as he decided they could both still be prefects). Of course James was all too happy not to be burdened with being a Prefect any longer.
The group of Gryffindors made it to the Tower without too much incident (unless you count Lily- er... Lilian screaming at... Christopher for calling her a slut because she was shamelessly flirting with James nonstop the whole way there being an incident). Stepping into the common Room after Juliana gave the password to the fat lady, they met up with Professor McGonagall, who handed them their schedules. (They had taken a rather long time getting to the common room, what with Remus stopping to snog Severus for several minutes, then Gemini and Sirius decided to take a hold of the moment, you see.)
"Here are your schedules. It is now 11:30, so you have fifteen minutes to get to your next class and study your schedules. I hope you have a good day and please abide by all of the rules here at Hogwarts." McGonagall left then, just as a few students trickled in to drop off book and pick others up.
"Who are they?"
"I don't know? Why don't you go ask them?"
"Why don't you?"
Many students were bickering about who should go over to see the 'New Kids'. Harry looked around and finally, fed up with all of the giggling and whispering went over in front of James and said, "Who are all of you? I'm Harry Potter."
Ummmm yeah. So anyway...... This was a really awkward chapter where nothing happened. So ummmm... yeah.
R/R PLZ!!!!! Can we at least TRY for fifteen??? Maybe? Please?
