Chapter 4: The First Day of Classes

Harry's POV

I awoke suddenly. I glanced at the clock. 6:30. I still had thirty minutes untill breakfast. I got up and changed slowly. I climbed down the staircase. Much to my surprise, I was not alone in the common room. A boy was staring at the now cool ashes that had long since burnt out. He was obviously lost in thought.

"Er...Hello..." I said coutiously.

The boy jumped and looked around. I realized, with a jolt in my stomache that it was James. He looked different up close. He had soft hazel eyes that sparkled mysteriously and a small silver earing in his right ear. He did look a lot like me though.

"Hi..." He said perkfully.

"Er...I'm going for a walk..." I said hurridly before James could say anything else I sprinted out of the commonroom.

I decided to go to the owlry to see Hedwig. About twenty minutes later I decided it was time to go down to breakfast. James was already there. All the Marauders were sitting with Fred, George, Lee, Ron and Ginny. I decided to sit down with Hermione and Lily.

"Good Moring." Hermione said cheerfully. "You'll be glad to know that the Daily Prophet has stopped writing horroble things bout you." she continued as I helped my self to some oatmeal.

"Mr. Potter!" Prof. McGonagal's sharp voice rose along the Griffendore table. I jumped and looked up.

James looked up at her with an innocent look on his face. "Yes Prof."

Lily rolled her eyes. "He is such a prat." she muttered.

"Follow me." Prof. McGonagal said leading James to a small room off the hall.

"Be right back." I told Hermione and Lily and stalked off towards the door that they had dissapered behind.

"Now, you are to use it ONLY for classes." Prof. McGonagall was saying sternly. "and ONLY on Mondays. Got it?"

"What are the talking about?" I wondered to myself.

"Yes Ma'am." James said innocently.

"If I find out you used it for any other reason, you will be in Detintion until Christmas!" Prof. McGonagall said.

"But- won't we find a way back to our time by then?" James asked alarmed.

"Hopefully you will. But that's NOT the point! ONLY USE IT FOR CLASSES!"

"Alright, alright." James muttered. "Party-pooper."

"James! I'm dead sirius. You are to stay in the Common Room on Thursday mornings. The Griffindor seventh years will be informed of what you're doning. As will Prof. Snape."

"Hold on! Prof.- WHO?" James voice cracked slightly.

"Snape James.Prof. Snape. And you are to treat him with respect or ELSE!"

"Dare I ask or else what?" James asked cooly.

"JAMES POTTER! GET YOUR ASS OUT OF HERE THIS INSTANT!"

"Alright, alright don't get pushy about it. Holy cow." James muttered.
