CHAPTER TWO

1974

Ron stared at Remus, who was quietly reading a book before they came, then at Harry.

Harry stared at James.

Hermione glared at Peter.

Harry's eyes swivelled to Sirius, then to Lily.

"Oh My God," he croaked.

James was startled. He looks like me, he thought...except his eyes are green...

James stepped forward and extended his hand. "I'm James Potter. This is Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Lily Evans. You?"

"I'm James Potter. This is Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, and Lily Evans. You?"

Harry stood up shakily. "What year is this?" he demanded, ignoring James' question.

James was taken back. "N-nineteen seventy f-four," he stammered.

Harry swore. He turned his head at gaped at Sirius. "Sirius," he said shakily. "You're alive.."

"Um..yeah, I am," said Sirius, uneasily.

"Harry!" hissed the girl. "Shut it! We need to get Dumbledore!"

"Listen," offered Remus. "We can take you there, if you like."

"N-no thanks. But can we borrow..borrow that map of yours?" Ron asked, not thinking.

Hermione made a funny noise between an irritated snort and an angry growl.

Sirius yelped. "How'd ya know?!" he shouted.

"Long story," said Hermione, dragging Ron and Harry to Dumbledore's office.

Lily narrowed her eyes at the marauders. "What map?" she asked, suspiciously.

"Yeah, Prongs. What map?" Sirius asked James, guiltily.

"Yeah. What?"
