Forwards in Time
Chapter One: The Clock
Lily Evans and her best friend Arabella Figg were on their way to the Great Hall for lunch when they were suddenly stopped. Lily Evans was a sixteen year old girl with flaming red hair and almond shaped emerald, green eyes. She stood 5'4 and had a good figure. She was kind to everyone, except if they really got to her bad side, which was usually James Potter. Lily had a very fiery temper and had a fair complexion.
Her best friend Arabella Figg had raven black hair and a fair complexion, with piercing dark blue eyes. She stood 5'3 and, too, had a good figure. But her figure wasn't like a model figure she was just right for her body.
They spun around to see who it was and saw their Transfiguration teacher, Professor McGonagall running towards them. Professor McGonagall was a teacher that taught in Hogwarts since Lily could remember; actually she didn't know how many years Professor McGonagall had taught in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But she was the strictest teacher in Hogwarts and she favored Lily of all because she was hardworking and reliable.
"Miss. Evans," she called.
"Yes?" Lily asked. "I'll see you in the Great Hall, save me a seat okay," she whispered to Arabella as she walked towards Professor McGonagall.
"Sure thing, Lils," Arabella said as they parted.
"Miss. Evans have you seen Mr. Potter?" she asked looking really tired, like she'd just run a race.
'Me? How should I know where that arrogant jerk is,' she thought to herself. "No, Professor," she replied.
"Will you please look in the Quidditch Pitch for me while I look in the Astronomy Tower," she said as she stormed off before Lily could say something.
"Great," she mumbled to herself as she went outside. It was a sunny day out since school had just started a couple of weeks ago. She walked hurriedly to the Quidditch Pitch and saw no one was there. She waited outside the change rooms and was about to leave when the door opened.
"Evans, what are you doing here?" a voice she hated so asked.
Lily spun around and saw James Potter smirking at her, Sirius Black and Remus Lupin then said, "Well for your information Potter, McGonagall told me to fetch you!" she snapped as she started to walk back to the castle.
"Wow, calm down Evans. I was just asking. Not normal seeing you here," he said as he walked beside her.
"Shut up, Potter," she mumbled.
"Why did McGonagall want me anyways?" he asked trying to start a conversation.
James Potter was a boy that Lily hated and loathed. He had untied jet black hair and hazel eyes that were covered by his round glasses. He stood 6'1 and was fairly built thanks to Quidditch. He was the ring leader of a group called the Marauders. The Marauders, mainly James had been playing pranks on Lily ever since their first year in Hogwarts. And yet, after playing those pranks on Lily, James still managed to ask her out every year but was turned down all five years. James was a very good Quidditch player, he played seeker for the Gryffindor Quidditch team. James Potter and Lily Evans equaled their school work. Even though they tried as hard as they could to beat each other they were still equal.
Sirius Black was the ladies man in the Marauders. He had black tamed hair and grey eyes. He played beater for the Gryffindor Quidditch team and, like James, was built, but not too built. He stood 6'1 and most girls gushed over him.
Remus Lupin was the one that Lily could stand. He was the smarts in the group, even though James was smart he doesn't use them for the Marauders and only for school. He had sandy brown hair and startling blue eyes. He played chaser for the Gryffindor Quidditch team and was built like James and Sirius but not as built as them and stood 6'2. Remus preferred reading rather than Quidditch but it was Sirius' fault he was there in the first place. Sirius dared Remus to try out for chaser in their fifth year and surprisingly he was really good at it. Remus Lupin also looked very pale today and had bags under his eyes because there had just been a full moon a couple of days ago. Remus Lupin was a werewolf.
"I don't know, she didn't tell me," she scowled.
"Okay fine," James said as he waited for Sirius and Remus to catch up with him. When they were beside him Sirius started to run as he spotted something shiny on the ground. When Lily saw this she mumbled, "Idiot."
"Prongs, Moony look a clock, well kind of," he said as he fiddled with it.
When Lily, James, and Remus realized what it was they ran towards him yelling, "No Sirius stop!" When they got to him they all grabbed it at the same time as it transported them into the past, or so they thought.
When everything was finished they all let go of the clock as it shattered into little pieces. They looked at each other with worried faces as Lily said, "Oh no this is bad."
"Yeah, we're in the past," James said with panic in his voice.
"But how far in the past?" Remus asked calmly. Remus had experienced this before but for only one hour back in time.
"I don't know, Black how far did you spin it?" she asked.
"I don't know," he said with a simple shrug.
"You idiot!" she shrieked "For all we know we could be twenty years back in time!"
"Okay calm down Lily, we'll just have to go to the castle and find Professor Dumbledore," Remus said trying to calm her down.
"You're right," she said as they walked into the castle.
They walked through the castle and saw nothing looked old. "Maybe we're like only an hour in the past," James said trying to convince himself.
"If we were we'd recognize those students," Lily said pointing to a pair of Ravenclaw's.
"Oh, right," he said and was silent.
They reached the Headmaster's Office and the stone gargoyle. "Please let us in we need help," Lily begged but the gargoyle didn't move. James, Remus and Sirius tried naming different candies but nothing worked. They waited in front of the door until they heard a voice behind them.
"May I help you children?" the voice asked as they spun around. It was Professor McGonagall, but she wasn't young. In fact she was old.
"Well we were wondering if you could tell us the pas-"James started but was cut off by Professor McGonagall saying, "How did you children get here?" she asked.
"Time- turner," Sirius said quickly.
She said the password which was chocolate frogs and led them in. "But that's impossible Mr. Black," she said as they headed into the office.
"How'd you know my name?" he asked slowly as he narrowed his eyes suspiciously. But his question was ignored by Professor McGonagall saying, "Headmaster, these children say that they got here by a time-turner," she said as they all sat down in front of the desk.
"Hey, Professor Dumbledore, who's this lady and how does she know my name?" he asked as he narrowed his eyes towards her.
"No worried Mr. Black," Professor Dumbledore chuckled his eyes sparkling.
"Okay, how did you know my name? I'm from the future," he said as he narrowed his eyes at Professor Dumbledore then moved to Professor McGonagall.
"You are very mistaken Mr. Black," Professor Dumbledore started then said, "You are not in the past, you are in the Future."
Lily's, James', Sirius' and Remus' eyes widened and jaws dropped as they heard this.
