was the seeker. I meant keeper... so I quickly changed that. Thanks for
telling me the mistake! :) Anyway! Thanks for the reviews! I love getting
reviews!
Chapter 2 Snivellus
Harry quickly dashed out of the common room, searching for Professor Dumbledore. While running down the corridor towards Dumbledore's office Harry bumped into a boy about his own age with lank greasy hair, pallid skin, and a hooked nose. Harry recognized this boy as a sixteen year old Severus Snape. Harry flinched, he didn't want to start dueling with him at that moment, especially when he had no idea what his being there, at that moment, would do to the future. Harry tried to push Snape aside, but Snape stopped him. "Going some where Potter?" Snape smirked at him. "Yeah, and I don't see how it's any of your business Snape." Said Harry coolly, but Snape ignored that comment. "Oh, so we've stopped using that horrid nick name have we? And what, may I ask, is that on your forehead?" asked Snape snidely. Harry stood there, and glowered at Snape. "Oh and I see we've changed your eye color to match that of your girl friend the mudblood Evans's I see, how very touching." After hearing that Comment Harry whipped out his wand, but Snape was too quick for him. Harry ended up with a big slash across the front of his robes. "Oh I see we're losing our touch, eh Potter?" At that moment any pity Harry had for Snape, after seeing how his father had treated him in the pensive, was soon forgotten. It took Harry two seconds to have Snape pinned against the wall. "Just give me one reason why I shouldn't." But Harry was cut off by a shriek coming from somewhere behind him.
"JAMES! Drop him, right now!" Harry turned around to see a girl with dark red hair and green oval eyes. Harry gasped "Mu... I mean. Evans! Err It's not what it looks like you see he." "I don't care what he did Potter!" Lily was fuming. "I thought I told you to leave him alone! I told you the next time I see you fighting with. with him, I'll go strai." Lily stopped talking when she noticed Harry's eyes. "Potter! What have you done! Why are your eyes the same color as. the same color as mine?" Lily stammered looking extremely annoyed with him. Just than they heard footsteps racing down the hall. To Harry's relief the footsteps belonged to Sirius and Remus. Sirius's face lit up when he saw Snape pinned to the wall. Remus looked off to the distance pretending he didn't notice that Harry had his wand out, with Snape pinned to the wall. Lily ran off in the opposite direction as soon as she saw Sirius and Remus approaching. "Hey Evans!" Sirius called out to her. "Where are you off to? I hope it's not to find a teacher, you little snitch!" Sirius turned back to Snape with an evil grin on his face. "So James, what are we going to do with Snivellus today? Wanna see what kind of underwear he has on or." Remus interrupted them. "Err I have a few important things to do in the Library. so I'll just meet you two there." Remus dashed off towards the library. "So it looks like Snivellus got himself stuck to a wall... again. It looks like you haven't learnt the first lesson we taught you Snivellus. Oh well, we can always teach you a new one." Said Sirius grinning mischievously.
Snape glared at Sirius. "Let me down, right now Potter, or I'll curse that mudblood girlfriend of yours. Oh wait." said Snape with malichious laughter. "She isn't your girlfriend is she? She has a lot of sense for a mudblood, enough sense to see what a mangy little mutt you are." Sirius pulled out his wand, and started to approach Snape. "Don't come near me you traitor to pure bloods, you are just as bad as that little mudblood Potter has been chasing around for the last 4 years. I just had my robes cleaned I don't want you to dirty them up by touching them."
Sirius laughed at his last comment. "I don't think it's possible for me to dirty them up more than they already are. You see as soon as you put them on they were covered in filth, from your hands touching that greasy hair of yours." Just as Sirius was about to raise his wand Professor McGonagal stepped in. "Mr. Potter! Mr. Black! What do you think you're doing? Put him down this instant! I will be taking 10 points each from Griffindor. And you will both be receiving detention for one week." Snape smirked at Harry and Sirius. "I don't see why you should think this is funny I will be taking 10 points from Slytherin as well for slashing James's Robes. Now return to your common rooms all of you!" Harry removed the spell from Snape, and placed him back on the ground. Snape scowled at Harry than retreated off toward the dungeons. Sirius tried to grab Harry's arm, but Harry wouldn't let him. "Err I'll catch up with you, I need a word with Professor McGonagal." Sirius gave Harry a puzzled look, than headed off towards Griffindor tower alone.
"Professor I need to see Dumbldore, it's an emergency." Professor McGonagall gave Harry a suspicious look and decided not to question him about his appearance. They headed off towards the Gargoyle that blocked the entrance to Dumbldores office. She gave the password "Peppermint imps." And the Gargoyle sprung to life than moved out of the way. Professor McGonagall ushered Harry up the staircase leading to Dumbldores office. Harry entered Dumbledores office to find that it looked much the same as the last time he had been there. Interesting objects covered many shelves, he found Faux, Dumbldores pet phoenix, resting on a perch. The many Portraits of sleeping wizards still lined the walls, and he could see that the sorting hat was sitting on the top of a really tall shelf. For a moment Harry looked around for the sword he pulled from it the year he destroyed the diary of Tom Riddle. Than he realized that it was quite a few years before he was even born.
Professor McGonagall announced Harry's presence than quietly left. Just like his office Dumbldore didn't look much different from the last time Harry had seen him. The only difference was that he didn't look quite as old. Dumbldore slowly walked towards Harry and observed his appearance."Err Professor I." Dumbldore cut him off "You're not James." "Yes," said Harry looking bewildered at how calmly Dumbldore could take this. "I don't know what happened. one moment I was wondering down a corridor the next I wind up on the floor in the Griffindor common room not even in my own time." Dumbldore considered Harry for a moment, than spoke. "James was your father was he not?" Harry nodded. "Do you know what might have caused me to go into the past? Or what might bring me back?" asked Harry. Dumbldore sighed. "Alas I wish I had the answer to everything. But I don't. I don't know what might have caused this to happen. I assume your father has been transferred to your time. Which would be very good if he were, that would cause less suspicion." Dumbldore sighed. "It might take a while for me to figure this out. Until then Potter, I must urge you not to talk about what happens in the future to anyone, tampering with time is extremely dangerous." With that, Dumbdore excused Harry from his office.
James, Hermione and Ron headed off from the portrait, down the corridor towards Dumbledors office. "Can one of you please explain to me what's going on? Why do we need to see Dumbledore?" Asked James sounding a bit put off. Hermione and Ron exchanged awkward looks. "We think Dumbldore could explain this all better than we can." Said Hermione. Just as they approached the gargoyle leading to Dumbldore's office. Professor Snape stepped out. Hermione gasped. "Err Professor Snape!" James gapped at Hermione. "Professor WHAT?" yelled James, with a shocked look on his face. Snape eyed James suspiciously. "And what, may I ask, are you doing here Mr. Potter." Spat Snape. James stared at Professor Snape awestruck. Snape glared at James. "Trying to look more like your father, Mr. Potter? Why did you change your eye color to match his, you already have his personality, why not go for the whole package eh? I seem to remember." Hermione cut him off. "Please Professor, we must speak with Professor Dumbldore it's important that we see him." Snape's eyes narrowed, as he studied the agitated look on Hermione's face. Before he could make a further comment, Professor Dumbldore stepped out from behind the gargoyle, as if expecting to see them.
"Please excuse us Severus." "Snivellus!" gasped James with an absolute look of dismay on his face. A huge look of out rage spread across Snapes face. "I thought I told you, to NEVER speak of that!" Snape glared at James, who looked confused. "Speak of what?" asked James looking a bit perplexed. Dumbldore sensing a huge problem was about to occur stepped in. "Severus, it is important that I speak to these individuals in private, if you will excuse us." Snape, not wanting to start an argument with Dumbldore grudgingly stepped aside giving James a look of complete loathing that James was only too happy to return.
James, Hermione and Ron followed Dumbldore into his office. Dumbeldore took a seat in a large comfortable looking chair behind his desk than he pointed to three empty chairs sitting in front of him. "Please take a seat, this might be a while." Hermione, James and Ron obliged and each took a seat in a nice and comfortable old chair. Dumbldore gazed at James for a moment. James leaned back on his chair and asked the question, Dumbldore had been waiting for sometime. "How did I get here? And will I be able to return?" Dumbldore smiled at James. "So I see you've figured out that you somehow traveled to the future." James smiled broadly at Dumbldore. "I figured as much, How am I to get back?" Dumbldore frowned at James. "That's something that my past self will figure out. In the mean time I must ask you to refrain from asking too many questions about your future. Even if it does save a few lives, it could have a disastrous effect. You can't change the past as much as you can't change your destiny." "Save lives?" James asked bewildered. "But who's lives will I save if." "Aw That, I can't tell you, knowing how mischievous you were. or are at school, you would probably tell the very people you would wish to save. You can't save them, you must understand that, if you do somehow figure out who was destined to leave this world, for that I truly am sorry." Hermione and Ron looked grievously down at their feet. "However, until my past self figures out how to put everything right, I shall have to ask of you to pose as your son, Harry. Please, don't get Harry into too much trouble as he had already crossed the line so many times, even though they were, err, for the right reasons. Professor Snape. Yes James, he is a professor and you must treat him with respect." Said Dumbldore glancing at the look of disgust on James's face. "As I was saying, Professor Snape, would only be too happy to find a reason for Harry to be expelled or suspended from school." James jumped out of his chair in outrage forgetting for a moment that Dumbldore was in the room. "Why that no good slimy, greasy haired git!" Dumbldore quickly rose up from his chair. "James! Any rivalry you might have had with Professor Snape must be kept to yourself it is extremely important that you don't go looking for trouble! You are not back in your school days you are Harry now, and you must try to at least act like him. Ron and Hermione are Harry's closest friends. They will help you."
James frowned for a moment. "Does this mean I wont be able to play Quidditch for a while?" Asked James with a worried look on his face. Ron beamed at James. "Oh no, not at all, in fact, Harry is the best one on the team, next to me of course." James grinned. "Really? Which position does he play?" Ron smiled. "Seeker." James looked delighted to hear that. "Excellent! That's my position as well! Like father like son eh?" "Exactly" said Dumbldore more seriously. "That's why people will so easily mistake you for Harry, even if your eyes are a different color than his." "Why? What color are his eyes?" Asked James curiously. "Green, and I already planned out an excuse for your eye color changing. You were experimenting with a new charm that you were learning on your own and it messed up, thus changing your eye color."
James didn't think that was a very good excuse but since he couldn't come up with anything himself he decided to go with it. "Err Professor?" asked Hermione; Dumbldore looked up at her. "What about. the scar?" Dumbldore smiled at Hermione and pulled a pencil, that resembled eyeliner, out of his desk. "Use this." He handed the pencil to James. "Draw a lightening bolt shape on your forehead ever 5 hours, a scar should appear, Ron will tell you how its supposed to look."
Dumbldore dismissed them from his office with one last warning that he should return in exactly five days from their first meeting.
