Twisting Time

James walked slowly towards the Heads compartment, debating whether he should go inside or not. His stomach was knotted with nervousness.

What if she starts screaming at me?

He remembered that day in fifth year, after the O.W.Ls:

FLASHBACK

"'You think you're funny,' she said coldly. 'But you're just an arrogant, bullying toerag, Potter. Leave him alone.' 'I will if you go out with me, Evans,' said James quickly. 'Go on… go out with me and I'll never lay a wand on old Snivelly again.'

'Messing up your hair because you think it looks cool to look like you've just got off your broomstick, showing off with that stupid Snitch, walking down corridors and hexing anyone who annoys you just because you can - I'm surprised your broomstick can get off the ground with that fat head on it. You make me SICK.'"

END FLASHBACK

James sighed. He wanted her to like him more than anything, and would do anything for it.

And then, he heard from deep inside of his brain what Remus told him last year, when he voiced his desperation to his friends.

You need to act like a gentleman Prongs, try to be nice to her – not like you are used to now – act with her like you act around us – stop 'messing up with your hair' like she said and for goodness sake drop the tone you use to use when you talk to her, it's pathetic.

James made up his mind.

He took a deep breath before he entered the Heads compartment.

"Evans" he said in a voice that tried to sound like his own.

"Potter" she said sharply "The instructions of what to say to the prefects are on the table, read them and then we need to tell them about their duties and privileges."

He simply nodded, afraid to say the wrong thing, he took the instructions from the table. There was silence while he read until –

"Potter, to whom did you pay to get the Head Boy position?"

He was speechless; he stared at her in confusion for a moment before lowering his head and murmured "No one".

She snorted, "Yeah right, there is no way a normal person will appoint you to the Head Boy position"

He was speechless again and simply nodded.

Why the hell is he so passive now? What happened to arrogant Potter? She thought this is James Potter we are talking about here, he'll be himself in no time.

But he simply sat there in silence. Lily lost her temper.

"Say something Potter!" she snapped suddenly.

He lifted his head to gaze at her. She dropped the harsh manner as the hazel eyes bored into her emerald ones.

"What do you want me to say Evans?" he said slowly.

"Just say something Potter, anything, why don't you tease me? Where is the arrogant bigheaded Potter I know?"

He began to lose his temper but reminded himself to get a grip. He shrugged. "Look Evans I don't have time-"

Finally snapping at me! I was worried!

"-for arguing with you, I want to make this year work" voice rising he said "and I don't want to fight with you Evans – " his voice was growing steadily and by now he was yelling I AM NOT IN THE MOOD TO FIGHT WITH YOU!"

The Heads compartment began to spin – James, Lily, Ron and Hermione fell to the floor.

"Ouch"

"Get off me Potter"

"Let go Ron"

"What—"

The four lifted themselves from the floor. Ron looked at James and asked "What's wrong with your eyes Harry what-" he gasped as he turned his gaze to Lily and saw her eyes.

"Holly shit! – Hermione – Hermione – girl – eyes – Harry," he said wide eyed.

"Look mate, I don't know who Harry is or what are you doing in the Heads compartment.." started James.

Ron and Hermione didn't need to tell them twice, they ran outside, gasping for breath.

"Ron, why did we go back in time! What are Harry's parents doing there?"

"Harry's parents!" exclaimed Ron.

"Yes Ron! Harry's parents! Didn't you notice that boy looked just like Harry and that the girl had eyes exactly like Harry's? They look just like the people in Harry's pictures! We are back in time!" said Hermione hysterically.

"Granger, what—" Malfoy's drawling voice sounded and Ron and Hermione kept walking. Then Hermione turned dumbstruck to Ron.

"Ron – did Malfoy just talk to us? Draco Malfoy?" she asked. Ron has gone white while realization was drowning at him.

"We didn't go back in time – they went to the future – Hermione what do we DO?"

"Okay, lets not lose our temper we need to make sure they won't instruct the prefects and that they will be in quiet for the whole ride – also that they won't see Harry."

"This is impossible Hermione unless we hex-"

But Hermione was too quick for him; she already ran to the Heads compartment and cast the Sleeping charm on James and Lily.

She breathed deeply when both James and Lily's bodies sank to the floor, sleeping.

"We need to lock the door and send an owl to Dumbledore." She said

"Right, I'll do it, you talk to the prefects," Ron said still shocked at the spitting image of Harry sleeping on the floor.

Hermione walked out the door towards the prefects' carriage while Ron wrote to Dumbledore

Dear Proffesor Dumbledore

While Hermione Granger and I were yelling each other at the Heads compartment, suddenly the compartment began to spin and we found ourselves in the same room with Harry's parents. They look like 17 years old and they have the Head Boy and Girl badges.

We cast the sleeping charm on them and we will be waiting to your decision about what to do with them.

Sincerely yours,

Ron Weasley.

Ron looked at his letter critically and screwed his nose. He sounded just like Percy. He sighed and sent the letter.
