Plot © Sami 2003-2004
Harry, Fred and George managed to make their way to the Gryffindor common room with the Marauders in tow, without getting noticed. But upon entering the common room, the six boys jumped back as if they were under attack.
"Harry! Fred! George! Who are they!? And what are you doing sneaking them into the common room!? You're all up to something! I know it! You'll get us all in trouble for this..."
James stuck his head out from behind George. "Lily?" He asked, mockingly, knowing fair well that it wasn't. He smirk at the brushy haired brunette and then stepped out to greet her.
"Assuming you're someone we can trust, and because you're a Gryffindor, I'm pleased to meet you. I'm James." He held hs hand oout to Hermione, but she didn't take it, she stared at it. Then she stared up and James, then she look at Harry, Fred and George.
"WHAT have you DONE?" Hermione squealed, pointing at James, Sirius and Remus. "It's... You've... They..." And with that she promptly passed out.
Ron came over to where Harry was standing. "Wow, Harry, how'd'you manage that?" He looked up at the Marauders in awe as if they weren't real and Harry had somehow manufactured them. Harry smirked.
"Ron, I found a time turner." Ron stopped beaming and looked at Harry seriously.
"Wait a minute, they're really them?" Ron stopped looking at Harry and turned again to Sirius and Remus.
"In the flesh." Sirius replied and Remus nodded.
"Ron, why do you sound so worried?" Harry asked, noticing for the first time that Ron had drastically started to pale.
"Harry, if you've brought them here then they're not there, are they? You're altering history, you're erasing yourself!" It was Harry's turn to pale at Ron's words.
"Ron's right." Everyone turned to see Hermione had come to. "This could cause some serious problems, Harry you have to get them back!"
"Ok, well, it's not that hard, right, we'll just use the time turner again!" Harry smiled and pulled the time turner out of his pocket.
"Oh, let me do it, please! Please!" Ron yelled, grabbing for the time turner.
"No way, I want to do it." Fred yelled, pushing Ron behind him.
"No I want to do it!" George yelled, jumping on Fred.
"What about me?" Sirius yelled, joining in and jumping on George.
It was at that moment Harry yelled, Hermione gasped, Ron scrunched his eyes shut, Fred, George and Sirius landed in a heap on the floor and the time turner landed next to them, shattering into a million or so pieces.
Everyone in the room froze. "Harry..." James was the first one to speak and Harry turned to look at his 16-yr-old father. "How are we going to get home?"
"I have no idea..." Harry said, still looking at James, who turned to look at Sirius, who turned to look at Remus, who turned to look at Fred, who turned to look at George, who turned to look at Ron, who turned to look at Hermione, who turned and headed towards the library with the 7 boys in tow.
They all rushed into the library and gathered around a table while Hermione rushed off and came back with several books on time travel. "Here, take one each and read through them, we're bound to find something," She slammed the books on the table, on of them catching Harry's hand, he pulled it away and rubbed it mournfully.
"Just like Lily," James whispered to Sirius, "solving everything with the library." Sirius stifled a giggle and nodded.
"Will you two please be quiet and get to work?" Ron thought Hermione looked just like a professor for a second, but Remus had picked up on James and Sirius train of thought.
"Wow, she does act just like Lily." He hid behind Harry as Hermione shot him a death-glare. "Heh, sorry."
But Harry stared at Hermione. "Hey, why is it so insulting to be told you act like my mum?" Hermione's glare faltered under Harry's, Sirius burst out laughing, Remus followed in suit and James turned bright red and looked like he couldn't breath.
"James... Lily... married... children... pwahahahahaha." Sirius couldn't help himself, he collapsed into laughter with Remus at his heels, the two boys had tears in their eyes to boot. James glared, then looked at Harry.
"I should have known," He said simply, and before he could finish Harry finished for him.
"I have Lily's eyes." Harry said. James simply smiled and nodded.
"People, we still have the issues of getting these three morons, no offence, back to their own time!!" Hermione yelled, mostly at Sirius and Remus because they weren't paying any attention what so ever, and were still in a heap on the floor laughing.
"Yea, she's right. As usual, it seems." James smiled, and Hermione wondered why Harry hadn't picked up his fathers charm. So the eight of them set to work, scanning the pages for something that might just get the boys home.
Ok, so I finally updated, now enjoy it dammit, because this may very well be the end! No, really, I have no idea how to send them back and this will probably just start getting stupid.
