Chapter 6:
1975
"Professor McGonagall, have you seen Mr. Potter today?"
"No, sir."
"And Miss Evans?"
"Neither have been in their classes today."
"Well, where could they have gone?"
As if to answer his question, young Sirius Black burst into the room. "Professor Dumbledore, McGonagall, James is
gone."
"Where?"
"Back."
"Back?"
"I don't know, he just left a note saying he was going 'back' to do his project."
"Mr. Black, please go get me Professor Binns."
About ten minutes later, Black and Binns returned.
"Yes, Headmaster?"
"What topic was Mr. Potter and Miss Evans assigned to?"
"The Salem Witch Trials."
"That must be back."

1996
"Professor McGonagall, have you seen Mr. Potter today?"
"I thought we ended this conversation."
"As I thought. And Miss Weasley?"
"What a case of déjà vu."
"Go get Binns. Tell him to bring all previous papers about the Salem Witch Trials."
When Binns came, he said, "Professor, why do you need these papers? Surely your books are more informative?"
"May I have Miss Evans and Mr. Potter's?"
Although Binns never got a name right, he had superb organizational
skills. "The year, Headmaster?"
"1975."
"Here it is. It was one of the more creative works. They did it in first person, and they did a wonderful job on the first half. I had to take off points because it was only the first half though."
"Did you see the last line?"
"Pardon?"
"The one that says, 'To be continued'?"
A/N: I know that this chapter is really short, but I don't want it to be any longer. Hope you enjoyed it. By the way, this was only one and a half pages in my notebook, and the other chapters are all about three pages. That is my average goal per chapter, so for the one person who asked me to make this longer, two page typed is as long as it gets.
