Chapter 10 – Field trip
It was halfway through Herbology that Dumbledore himself came down to collect the Marauder's. With this Harry knew at once it must have been something of importance; he had never known the headmaster to do his own collection of students. He already had with him Hermione, who was still dominant. "I have had an idea, I can't think of a way to get you back to your bodies Harry and Hermione. However I have discovered a way to get you to 1997 so you can at least try and prevent what is going otherwise occur, of course the current situation means that you must take James and Lily with you, I will write a letter to my counterpart to ensure that they are sent back as soon as possible. I've also decided it may be for the best if the rest of the motley crew go, I take it they already know of the situation and may be of some comfort to James and Lily. I'm sorry to say there is still no trace of your friend Ron but it is of utmost importance you leave as soon as possible. This is a time turner, a rare one that is used for years instead of hours, turn it clockwise 20 times and you will arrive in your home year. Now, I must ask you to gather your trunks and leave immediately. Your professors are aware of the situation. I wish you luck" Dumbledore concluded and after a few muffled thanks and byes they teens ran to their dorm and collected their stuff. All of them had one hand on their trunk and one hand on the chain as Hermione turned it 20 times. A whirl of colours surrounded them and the wind was loud in their ears, then it stopped and Hermione and the Marauders were stood in Harry's dorm.
"Leave your stuff here, let's go see Dumbledore" and with that the group ran the opposite way they just had – yet 20 years in the future. Peter was by this point wheezing at the back of the group and complaining about a stitch in his side. Hermione and Harry had no sympathy for him. In fact Harry tried to find another burst of energy to leave him trailing some more, the sight of the traitor bended over in pain was satisfying to him.
James and Hermione where getting increasingly used to this scenario of going to the headmasters office, James for his pranks and Hermione for being friends with the shit-magnet they call Harry Potter. One thought that comforted Hermione deeply was as this had already happened in the past Dumbledore would surely know of the events, no truth serums this time she thought, with an inward smile as Lily Evans once again took control of the situation.
