"Do you remember who his best friend was?"

"Naturally," said Madam Rosmerta, with a small laugh. "Never saw one without the other, did you? The number of times I had them in here — ooh, they used to make me laugh. Quite the double act, Sirius Black and James Potter!"

Harry dropped his tankard with a loud clunk. Ron kicked him.

"Precisely," said McGonnagal. "Black and Potter. Ringleaders of their little gang. Both very bright, in fact — but I don't think we've ever had such a pair of troublemakers — "

"I dunno," chuckled Hagrid. "Fred and George Weasley could give 'em a run fer their money."

Timeless Escapades

Chapter 5

Ronald Weasley paced the Gryffindor common room. It was very simple, really. All you had to do was walk. Up and down.

Up down up down up down up down...

"Ron! Please stop doing that, you're making me nervous!"

The red head halted his progress across the room and looked up. Hermione Granger sat in one of the many armchairs by the fire, bitting her fingernails, an open book on her lap lay forgotten. Ron sighed and made his way over to one of the couches closest to the fire place. It was the middle of October, but he still felt a chill in the air. Although, he had now always felt a chill in the air since best mate had gone missing.

Ron sighed, "I'm sorry, Hermione. I just..."

Hermione set down her book and quickly made her way over to the carrot top. "I know, Ron. I miss him too. I know how you feel..."

"No you don't!!!" Ron yelled at her, jumping up in anger. "You weren't there!!! I was standing maybe not even ten feet from him and I didn't do a damn thing! Why couldn't Snape have just left the cupboard alone?!"

Hermione sighed heavily, and put her face in her hands. Her shoulders were shaking. It had been five days since Harry's disappearance and Ron and Hermione had basically been on their own. They had both been excused from classes, much to Hermione's disappointment, and Dumbledore didn't seem to be doing anything to help Harry.

"I wish that Dumbledore would tell us something!" Hermione finally snapped, raising her head up. "Do you notice how he doesn't seem to care at all?"

Ron, eager to have a go at anybody to have to do with Harry's departure, grabbed the topic with greedy hands. "Yeah! That slippery old coot! He doesn't even seem to care that Harry's gone!!!! Senile old bas — "

"Ronald Weasley!!!" Hermione screeched from his left, eyes as wide as dinner plates. "Don't you DARE insult Dumbledore! He's doing his best!"

"Well his best isn't enough anymore, is it?" Ron shot back her, temper rising even higher. "He's not even lifting a finger and you know it! You don't want to find Harry either!" he accused.

Hermione leapt up from her couch and glared daggers at her best friend. "I care just as much as you about where Harry is, and don't try to deny it! If anyone is to blame it would be me, for making him go off to get that stupid Iclesa root!"

And with that, Hermione Granger stalked up the stairs to her bedroom.

Ron plunked down on the couch and starred at the flames inside the fire place, "Where are you, Harry? Everything is falling apart."

OoOoOoO

Harry's first day at Hogwarts School in his parent's time had been interesting, to say the least at that. And house rivalries hadn't changed a bit. Gryffindors hated Slytherins and vise versa. But the real shocker was when Harry met his mother.

From what Harry had seen in Snape's pensive, he had thought his mother to be some what like Percy Weasley. Strict with rules and not caring for childish games. However, this was not the case. Harry had met Lily at their first Transfiguration class, McGonnagal had put them in partners. Lily was his.

"You're the new one, aren't you?" she smiled at him, flipping back her long, strawberry plait.

"Er... yeah, I am. Harry Prowner." Harry told her smiling back apprehensively. Harry's stomach did a little flip. He was talking to his mother!

"Lily Evans!" she told him, flashing a smile.

"I hope that you like it here at Hogwarts!" she told him, poking her wand at the nearest rat that they were supposed to be turning into pin cushions. "It must be hard for you, I mean, not having your friends here and all."

Harry sighed and picked up one of the rats by the tail. "Yeah, but I think that I'll be able to get to know others while I'm here. And that makes up for it."

Lily blushed at looked over at Harry. "You know, you look so much like Potter. Are you two related?"

"No." Harry told here flatly, looking back at his rat. "I don't have any living relatives except my aunt, cousin, and uncle. They're terrible."

Lily sighed and jabbed her wand again. "Do you not like me?"

"What?" Harry asked her in surprise dropping his wand to the table.

"Do you not like me?" Lily repeated, starring at him. "I mean, I know that I'm not a pure blood or anything, but still..."

"What are you talking about?!" he asked her. "I like you! Not intimately of course, and I'm not a pure blood. I'm half and half!"

Lily flushed again. "Sorry. I'm just really defensive like stuff like that."

Harry faltered a bit. Make her feel better you idiot! Harry scooted over and gave her hand a little squeeze. It was the closest thing to a hug that he could muster.

"Hey... I'm sorry that I snapped at you. Friends?"

Lily wiped a hand over her stunning emerald eyes. "Friends. And I'm really sorry about the 'blood' thing. You must think I'm really silly."

"Not at all." Harry told her, stabbing moodily at his rat. "My best friend is the same way."

OoOoOoO
