"It's so great to be back!" exclaimed Sirius Black for the billionth time.
"Sirius," sighed Remus Lupin," We've been at Hogwarts for a week now, and you're still saying that."
"Well it's true!" said Sirius defensively. Remus rolled his eyes.
"Where's Peter?" asked James Potter.
"Detention," informed Remus, "and if he keeps it up he might actually beet you at the record of the most detentions this year."
James and Sirius looked shocked to even think that! Remus rolled his eyes again.
"What time is it?" asked Remus, trying to change the subject.
James checked hi watch. "Oh, blimey! We're late for Transfiguration! You know how McGonagall is about that!"
"Let's go!" said Remus, and they went running down the corridor. When they turned around the corner, they collided into something, and fell over.
"Potter, you idiot!" cried Lily Evens, pointing towhat looked like a broken necklace,"You've broken my time-turner!"
Before anyone could reply, the corridor started spinning faster, and faster, until it finally stoped, and everything went back to normal. Or so they thought.
Still glaring at the marauders, Lily reached over to pick up the remains of the time-turner, but, her eyes widened as she looked at were it was, it wasn't there!
"Now I'll have to tell Dumbledore about this," growled Lily, her emerald eyes flashing, "and you're coming with me!"
That said, they all reluctantly headed to the headmaster's office.
"Er, do you now the password?" asked Remus. Everyone shook their heads.
"Then we'lljust have to guess" said Lily.
"Lemon Drop"
"Cockroach Clusters"
"Droobles Best Blowing Gum"
"Acid Pops"The gargoyle jumped aside.
Sirius shrugged, "Who knew?"
They went up to his office and knocked on the door.
"Come in"
"Er, Professor," started Lily, "Something happened to my time-turner, it disappeared, and-"
"Miss Evens," interrupted Dumbledore "It's far worse then that I'm afraid."
"What?"
"You seem to have traveled into the future. Twenty years to be exact."
"Twenty y-"she rounded on the marauders, "look what you've done"! They shrank back, but still tried to protest.
"It wasn't our fault!"
"How were we supposed to know?"
"Yeah, give us a break, why don't cha'."
"Well," Interrupted Dumbledore, "until we find out how to get you back to your own time, you'll have to continue your lessons here, and we'd best change your looks too. Don't want anyone to recognize you."
"Exactly,"said Serenity, who no one noticed before, "I'll do it."
Serenity Crescent Moon was the resident Shifter at Hogwarts. A shifter looks just like a human, except he or she will have a 'shifter's mark' on their forehead. Serenity's was a crescent moon. Shifters can change their forms to anything, and don't need wands to do magic,though high ranking ones have staffs that made them more powerful. Serenity was second in charge of the Shifter's Kingdom, and therefore had a tall emerald staff, with a crescent moon, and star on top.
She pointed her staff at the newcomers, and with a flash light they all looked different.
James now had neat brown hair, and bright, blue eyes. Sirius had blond hair, but other then that nothing changed. Remus was a bit shorter, and had darker skin. Lily's eyes were now also blue, and her hair was now raven black.
"So," said Dumbledore," James, you will be Jamie Pater, Lily you're Lilith Brunson, Sirius your Sam White, and Remus you're Romulus Trep. Alright?"
As soon as they nodded there was a knock at the door.
"Come in"
McGonagallcame in with her hands on two boys shoulders, one looking a bit like Lucius Malfoy, and the other, an exact replica of James. Before his appearence changed of course.
"These two," said McGonagall disapprovingly, "have been at it. Again." she added.
"He startedit!" The boys said at the same time.
They scowled at each other. "Did not!" Again in unison.
"Harry," said Dumbledore,"please explain-"
"Oh, sure!" cut in the blond boy rather rudely, "Ask him! Everyoneknowshe's your favorite student!'
This made Harry mad. "Shut it Malfoy!" Well that confirmed one suspicion.
"Bugger off Potter!" That confirmed the other.
"Harry" Said Dumbledore yet again, "Please explains.
Harry took a deep breath and started-
Flashback
Harry, Ron, and Hermione were walking across Hogwarts grounds, whenthey heard a sneering voice they knew all to well.
"Well, well, well." said Draco Malfoy," If it isn't the 'Golden Trio'' He threw them a look of disgust. "More like the Terrible Trio. A Pure-Blood, a Half-Blood, and a Mudblood, all best friends. Pathetic!"
Ron and Harry made for Malfoy, but Hermione held them back.
"Don't"she said, "He's not worth it."
"Yeah, that's right," sneered Malfoy, "better start listening to the mudblood Scarhead, Weasel."
Ron's ears went red at this. The trio was walking away, but Malfoy didn't stop there.
"What's the matter Potter? Dogging my footsteps like your dear old godfather? The stinking blood-traitor."
"THAT'S IT!"roared Harry. He spun around and shot a spell at Malfoy. But Malfoy was ready; he dodged it, and shot one of his own. Pretty soon they were having a full-fledged duel, audience and everything.
"WHAT'S THIS? STOP THAT THIS INSTANCE"shrieked Professor McGonagall.
Harry and Draco lowered their wands. She gripped both of their shoulders' and said "It's of to the Headmaster's office for you two!"
End Flashback
"I see" said Professor Dumbledore," in that case 20 points from both Gryffindor and Slytherin, and detention for both of you."
"Yes, sir." They both said.
"Very good. Harry, would you please show these four to the Gryffindor tower?" Asked Dumbledore, gesturing to James and the others. Harry and Draco did a double-take. They hadn't noticed them until now. Harry nodded.
"We don't need-" started James
"Yes, you do" interrupted Serenity, "as new students, you really should have a guide. At least for a little while."
She was obviously telling them not to blow their cover.
"Harry,"asked Dumbledore, " before you do, could I see you for a moment?"
"Sure Professor." said Harry.
"Wait for Harry outside my office." Dumbledore informed the Marauders and Lily, "He will be with you shortly."
They nodded, and everyone except Harry, Dumbledore, and Serenity, left the office.
