Timeless Escapades

Disclaimer: Nope! Don't own anything to do with Harry Potter... :glares: I hope you're all happy!

Author's Note: I thank you all for being so patient with me... lately it's been taking a lot to get things done, I leave for California on Monday... so I'll see what I can do. I've had a terrible bout of writers block (yuck) and I think that I have everything figured out now, so I think it's be smooth writing from now on.

Timeless Escapades

Chapter 13

Lily Evans didn't know who was more surprised over Harry's appearance, Dumbledore or the other wizard who had just come into the dormitory.The man, who she guessed to be some sort of guardian of Harry's, rushed over to where she held the boy in her arms and scooped him up into his own. He was a tall wizard with graying hair, and when she saw his face, realized she had seen it before.

"Remus?"

Lily whipped her head around to look at Harry who was now struggling to keep his eyelids open. The older man nodded a bit and held the boy's body firmly against his chest as he sank into unconsciousness.Lily's eyes widened, she knew who this was.

"Re — "

"Would you be so kind as to tell us what happened here, Mr. Potter?"

Dumbledore was gazing at the students in the room, his eyes weren't even twinkling as he seemed to study James Potter as he fidgeted. Potter, the stupid git, stood straight and met Dumbledore's gaze head on. The man, who Lily was now sure was Remus Lupin (she had no idea how), watched James with wide eyes, the corner of his mouth twitching a little bit.

"Well sir, Sirius, Remus, and I came up here to look at Prow— , I mean, Harry's things and we found this photo album and he — Sir, there were pictures of us! Only, we were older and... Professor, he must be some sort of spy! He's been,"

"You've been looking through his things!" Lily shouted, in disbelief. "How low can you get, Potter?"

Sirius started to come to James's aid, "We didn't mean to do anything... but then Harry came in and everything just..."

"Got out of hand." Remus, the younger one, said firmly. He turned to the Headmaster. "James threw the photo album into the fire, sir."

"Remus!" Sirius and James yelled.

"That is quite enough." Dumbledore said, sweeping over to Harry and Lupin. Harry seemed to be dreaming about something, and Lupin raised a hand to his head.

"He's burning up, Albus. I think it might have to do with the connection..."

"Take him to the Hospital Wing, I'll be there later. Miss Evans, if you would wait in my office, I will talk to you shortly."

Lily nodded and followed Lupin and Harry out of the room, heading for the Headmaster's office. James, Sirius, and Remus were left alone in the dormitory to talk with the elder wizard. Dumledore came over and stood by the fire grate, gazing at the twisted lump of charcoal which was once a family photo album. He sighed tiredly.

"Do you love your family, Mr. Potter?"

James looked taken aback by the question, and looked to Remus and Sirius, who just shrugged, "Um... yes I do, sir. Very much so."

Dumbledore turned around and surveyed the three Gryffindor's threw his glasses. A twinkle had returned to his blue eyes.

"What would you say if I told you you had another family member at Hogwarts?"

He wasn't a patient leader by any means, but it was to be said that interest is what made him followable.

"My lord... I did not know!"

And right now, his patience was wearing thin.

"So let me get this all straightened out." he hissed. "You allowed a supporter of that whelp to travel back and help him escape?"

The black robed huddle on the ground shivered violently. And almost inaudilble "yes" rang out...

'Almost'

"You severly disappoint me, Peter. Crucio!"

"Harry! Harry, stop struggling!"

Harry awoke to a spilting headache and a horrible pain in his scar. All he wanted to do was pass out from the pain, and he almost did, when he saw who was leaning over him.

"Remus!" Harry croaked, letting the gray haired man bend over him and tip a glass of water against his lips, while his hand pressed against his forhead.

"Yes, it's me. Calm down... are you okay?"

Harry nodded and settled back against the headboard. He was in the hospital wing... again, and his favorite teacher was hovering over him as though he might collapse at any moment. "How... how did you -"

Remus sighed and pressed a green potion bottle into Harry's hands. "Drink. I'll explain everything in the morning Harry, but right now you need to sleep."

Harry drank the bitter potion and rested against the pillows as dark started to envade his vision. "Do they know?"

"They?"

"The Marauders."

He heard another sigh, "It was bound to happen, Harry." a cool hand rested over his forhead, "Go to sleep."

'Well, crap.' Harry thought, as he drifted off into a much welcomed sleep.
