Chapter 3: This is just a bridging chapter
"Jelly Slug" Lily said as they reached the gargoyle guarding Dumbledore's office.
They enter his office,
"What can I do for you?" asked Dumbledore
Lily explained her side of the story to Dumbledore with small input from a very confused Ron.
Dumbledore let them speak and waited till they were through until he spoke.
"This is an unusual case, Mr Weasley, but as we have no way of returning to your rightful time you must remain here until my future self finds a means to return you"
Ron looked downcast but nodded "where will I be staying during my time here?" he asked
"You will be placed in the Gryffindor 7th year boys dormitory. Lily will give you the password to the Gryffindor tower, and I'm sure Mr. Potter and his friends will help you settle in."
As Lily and Ron were heading back to the Gryffindor tower Ron asked "Mr Potter? Who's he?"
"James Potter, my boyfriend. His friends are Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew. They call themselves the 'Marauders' and are the biggest pranksters in the school. Watch your back, they prank anything that moves!"
Ron nodded "I'll remember that." They arrived at the Fat Lady and Lily uttered the password "mentabulous" The portrait swung open and Ron entered, wondering what differences he would find.
