Ginny giggled as she watched Hermione blush bright red.
"Aw, Hermione, I didn't know you had it in you!" Hermione glared at her, then quietly pushed the girls' door shut.
"I needed to talk to you about what we know" Ginny raised an eyebrow in confusion.
"Huh?"
"I mean, I really want to tell them about their futures! I want to tell them about what's in store for them!" Ginny looked horrified.
"Hermione, we can't!" she cried.
"Oh, but we can" Hermione said with a grin "I've figured it all out"
"Well?"
"We can pretend that we're Seers and whenever we touch them, we get a glimpse of their future, what do you think?" Ginny furrowed her brow for a few seconds before brightening up.
"Great idea, that way they won't get suspicious as to how we know!"
Hermione giggled at Ginny's enthusiasm.
"I wanna start on Pettigrew first, that way we can get the filth out of the way first" Hermione said with a look of disgust on her face. Ginny nodded seriously.
"Hey, can I do Remus after?" she asked, looking hopeful. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Of course you can! But only if you let me do Sirius!" Ginny nodded and grinned.
"But of course, I wouldn't deprive you of touching up your boyfriend in any way possible, Hermione" Hermione's jaw dropped.
"Oi!" and with that, she tackled Ginny to the ground and grabbed a pillow, starting a massive pillow fight.

It started during a discussion about Quidditch in the Gryffindor common room. Ginny was arguing angrily with James about which position was better: Chaser or Seeker. Sirius, Lily and Remus were discussing which team was going to win in the next match: Ravenclaw or Hufflepuff and Hermione was busy glancing at Peter, wondering when to 'accidentally' touch him. It finally came when he dropped a book onto the floor and Hermione offered to pick it up for him. She brushed against his arm and she dropped the book with a shocked expression on her face.
"Hermione, are you alright?" Sirius asked worriedly.
"Did you 'see' anything?" Ginny asked excitedly. Everyone stared at her in confusion.
"Oh, we never mentioned it, did we?" She asked, looking guilty "We're Seers and if we touch someone, then we can get a glimpse of their future" Sirius snorted with laughter, while everyone else looked faintly bored.
"Nice try Gin, but that's got to be one of the craziest things I've ever heard" Remus said, looking amused.
"Well, let's see what Hermione saw!" Ginny said, looking annoyed.
"You're a rat!" Hermione shrieked "And-and you go by the name Wormtail!" Peter paled considerably, while Remus, James and Sirius looked utterly gob-smacked.
Ginny looked triumphant.
"See? I told you that we're Seers!" Now everyone looked rather interested.
"If you touch him again, will you get a glimpse of him when he's older?" James asked. Hermione bit her lip as she grabbed Peter's hand. She already knew what she was going to say. Her expression changed from happiness to complete horror. She stepped back, shaking madly.
"I knew that there was something strange about you! I KNEW IT!" Everyone looked worried, while Peter twitched, looking scared.
"What did you see?" Lily asked.
"You betray your friends and join up with Lord Voldemort! All because you were scared of what he would do to you!" Peter's eyes widened in fear, while everyone stared at him with hurt on their faces.
"Hey, could you do me next?" Lily asked, looking excited. Hermione smiled and turned to Ginny.
"You do it" Ginny nodded and held onto Lily's hand, but she ended up furrowing her brow.
"I can't make it out"
"What?"
"James, come here a sec" James jumped up from the sofa and strode over to Ginny. He apprehensively took her hand and watched as Ginny's face turned to crestfallen.
"Oh my" she whispered, looking on the verge of tears.
"What is it?" Sirius asked, looking between James and Lily.
"Well, there's good news and there's bad news" she said, looking grim.
"Okay, shoot, what's the good news?" James asked.
"Well, you and Lily get married and have a baby boy" Lily clapped a hand to her mouth in shock, while James' lips tugged into a smile. Sirius clapped James on the back, while Remus was smiling broadly, but Peter looked worried.
"What's the bad news?" Ginny sighed and looked down at the floor.
"Voldemort comes after the Potters" James looked horrified.
"W-What?!"
"And he-he kills you James, then he turns on Lily, but, she begs him not to kill Harry . . . that's the name of your son. He ends up killing her and he turns his wand on Harry, but the curse rebounds of him and hits Voldemort, but he isn't defeated, he's just . . . disappeared" Everyone stared at Ginny in shock.
"Hey, how do we know that you're not just making any of this up? I mean, you might have found out the info on Peter from one of us" Sirius said, looking suspicious.
"Can I do you?" Hermione asked Sirius timidly. He complied and smiled when Hermione took his hand. After a short while, she clapped a hand to her mouth, her eyes wide, then she burst into tears.
"NO!" She screamed as she backed away in horror. (They're very good actresses, aren't they?)
"What's happened?" Sirius asked, looking worried.
"A-Azkaban" was the only word that came out of her mouth. Sirius paled.
"Why?" he asked hoarsely.
"I'm not sure. The reason wasn't clear; all I can tell is that you're innocent"
"For how long was he in there?" Ginny asked.
"T-Twelve years" she whispered. Sirius looked horrified.
"Twelve years?!"
"Do you still think that they're making this up?" Remus asked, nodding to Hermione "I don't think I've ever seen her look so distraught"
"There is a little bit of good news though" Hermione said, her voice cracking, yet she smiled a watery smile.
"What is it?"
"You're very good friends with a certain Harry James Potter" Sirius relaxed and grinned.
"Ah, that's good"
"Oh, and you're his godfather too" James grinned.
"I wouldn't have chosen anyone else, sorry guys" he added, glancing to Remus and Peter, but they just nodded in understanding.
"Now, that only leaves one person!" Ginny grinned as she sat next to Remus. Remus moved away.
"I don't want to know. Everyone seems to have horrible futures, I don't wanna know mine!"
"Aw, c'mon Moony. Be a sport!" James whined. Remus sighed.
"Oh, alright" Ginny took his hand. At first, she looked sad and sympathetic.
"Why didn't you tell me?" she asked. Remus raised an eyebrow.
"Tell you what?"
"Why didn't you tell me that you were a werewolf?" Remus paled and slumped down on the sofa.
"I was scared" he admitted.
"Did you think I'd honestly care? Because I don't" Remus perked up.
"Really?" Ginny smiled and took his hand again. Her smile turned into a grin.
"Well, well, well, I never expected that, Professor Lupin" Everyone stared dumbstruck at Remus, who looked ecstatic.
"I become a teacher?! What do I teach?"
"Defense against the Dark Arts. Dumbledore hired you" Remus cheered.
"Yes! Wa-hoo, I get a job!"
"I've gotta say, you don't look too bad for a thirty-four year old" she said with a wink. Remus blushed while Ginny gasped.
"That bastard!" Everyone jumped at her outburst.
"What?"
"Snape" was her reply. James looked worried.
"What about him?"
"He's a teacher too. He teachers Potions and he 'accidentally' let's slip that you're a werewolf! Ooh, if he was here right now, I'd tear him limb from limb" she growled. Hermione pretended to look scared.
"Never anger a red-head, they're scary" She told them. They all laughed.
"So . . . we know what's gonna happen in the future? Can we change it then?" Peter asked. Ginny and Hermione both shook their heads.
"Not really, no. If you do, then who knows what'll happen" Everyone nodded in understanding, while some of them paled considerably.
"I'm hungry!" Ginny moaned "I'm gonna go get something to eat, coming?" she asked Hermione. Hermione nodded and smiled.
"Yup, let's go" and with that, they set off to the Great Hall.
As soon as they left, Lily dove into her bag, looking frantic for something.
"What's up Lils?" Remus asked.
"Wait a sec, I think you guys should see this! I don't think they're really Seers" she told them matter-of-factly.
"How come?" James questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"This is why" she said, handing them a photo. They all crowded around and gasped. It was a photo of Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny.
"Look at the date" she told them. Sirius' and Remus' eyes widened when they saw that the year was 3rd September, 1997!
"Lily, where did you find this?" Sirius breathed.
"I found it in Hermione's bag, it was poking out"
"Is that-?" Peter asked, growing even paler as he pointed to a boy with messy black hair and emerald green eyes. He was laughing with a red-head and they were both ruffling each other's hair. Ginny and Hermione were watching them with a mixture of disapproval and amusement on their faces.
"Harry" James whispered, looking shocked.
"They're not Seers guys, they're from the future and they know Remus and Sirius! Don't you remember what Ginny said? Professor Lupin and Harry's godfather" They all stared at Lily, unsure of what to say.
"Why would they lie to us?" Sirius whispered, looking crestfallen "Why couldn't they just tell us the truth?"
"Well, I guess they were told by Professor Dumbledore not to tell anyone, but they wanted to tell someone, so they faked being Seers"
"And they have feelings for you guys" James added.
"Duh, have you seen the way they look at you two? It's so obvious that they've liked you guys for ages!"
"Well, what are we gonna do now that we know who they really are?" Remus asked.
"We confront them" Lily said "But we're still friends with them, right?" They all nodded.
"Of course. I wouldn't mind carrying on our relationship until they have to go" Sirius said "That Hermione's really something"
"Hey, look!" Lily exclaimed when she saw Harry blow a kiss to Hermione, who caught it and pretended to swoon. Ron and Ginny both laughed.
"That's so sweet" she cooed.
"Yeah, maybe for you, but they're our girlfriends, Lils. We wouldn't find that sweet" Remus muttered. Lily rolled her eyes.
"C'mon, let's go find them. In fact, let's just forget that they're from the future for the moment and treat them as we did before we found out about the photo" They all nodded in agreement.
"I wish I could have a memory charm put on me right now. Knowing who they really are is going to annoy me like hell" Remus murmured.
Sirius nodded in agreement.
"We'll confront them tonight" Lily said sternly.
"C'mon, let's go find them" James yelled and with that, the five teenagers went off in search of their two friends.
