Chapter Two: Meet the Potters

Harry and Hermione fell hard onto the ground. "Oof!" Hermione said. "That wasn't supposed to happen." Harry helped her up, and they looked around their new surroundings. It looked pretty much the same. It was the Gryffindor common room. They only thing that was different was the fine furniture and the students that inhabited it. "You don't think anyone noticed us?" Hermione asked.

"I-I don't think so." Harry said, "Hermione what time is it?"

"Harry, we didn't go back a few hours...we went back a few years!" Hermione panicked.

"But what year are we in?"

"I don't know," she said. She started pacing. "But we have to find out, in order to return! The number years will determine the number of backward turns needed for the time-turner." She froze. A red haired girl walked out of the girl's dormitory. Hermione clapped her hand over her mouth. Harry could not see this.

"So, Harry!" Hermione turned around, "Let's go find out what year it is outside!"

"No, Hermione," Harry said. "Let's just ask one of these people here, I mean, of course, they'll think we're stupid, but—"

"Hi!" The red haired approached them. "Are you new?" Harry and Hermione stared at her, as if she was out of this world. Lily Evans's eyes shifted. "Well, anyway, I'm Lily Evans. If you guys need any help or whatever, just come to me." Her eyes shifted again. "Er...what is you're name?"

"M-my name's, er, Harmony Grander," Hermione said slowly. Harry still stared at her. She was just as saw her in the pensive. He couldn't believe it. It was his mum!

"I-I'm Har—" Hermione nudged him hard in the ribs.

"He's, er...Henry Ponder" Harry eyed her. She shrugged.

"Nice to meet you, Harmony and Henry." Hermione giggled. The portrait of the Fat Lady swung open. A familiar looking boy jumped inside, laughing. All sense of life seemed to leave Harry all at once.

"Hey, hey, Evans," James said. "Who might this be? Your boyfriend?" He laughed. Harry found it very uncomfortable being called his mother's boyfriend.

"Argh!" She pushed James out of the way and walked off. James chuckled, but in a sad kind of way. He looked at Harry and Hermione. "You're a lucky man, you are." He said to Harry.

"Er...why?" Harry said.

"You kinda look like me," James smiled. "Except for your eyes." Harry couldn't help but smile. He couldn't remember how many times he have been told this. It seemed like a completely different statement, when told by his father.

James looked at Hermione. "And who's this?"

"I'm Harmony," Hermione said quickly. James smiled.

"Do you want me to show you around, Harmony?" he asked.

Hermione looked at Harry, who looked like any minute would fall onto the floor laughing. "I'm sorry, James—"

"How did you know my name?" James asked. "Been asking around, have you?"

"Er, yes, you got me there," Hermione said bemused. "But, anyway, we can't come along, we have to finish homework."

"But, Her—Harmony!" Harry said. He wanted to spend time with his father. Hermione stepped on his foot.

"Alright, then," James said, smiling. He moved his hand through his hair, and walked off.

"Hermione! I'm going with him!" Harry said. Hermione grabbed his arm.

"No! Harry, you can't!" Hermione exclaimed. "We've already associated with people we weren't supposed to!"

"But they're my parents! I have never talked to them like that in my life! You don't expect me to just let them walk past me?" Harry said.

"I know how you feel, Harry," Hermione said.

"No! No, you don't know how I feel! Your parent's weren't killed!"

"Harry! Try to be sensible! I've told you before, bad things happen to wizards who try to meddle with time," said Hermione. "Please. We know now how many turns we need."

Harry glared at her. "Leave me alone." He shrugged her off, and walked up to the boy's dormitory. Hermione looked up at him, angrily, and followed. Harry causally walked up the stairs to the rooms.

"Hiya, James," Harry said.

"Hello."

"I was just wondering if you'll give tour of the school," Harry said. James looked at him, as though he was examining him.

"Sure," James said. "Better yet, you convince Lily and Harmony to come, and I'll introduce you to the rest of the gang."

"Lily and Her—Harmony?" Harry asked. James nodded. "Done."

— — —

"Hello, Lily," Harry said.

"Well, hello Henry!" Lily said. "Just going down to the Owlery."

"Er...I wonder if this, but do you mind giving me a tour of the school?"

"Of course! We'll start at the Owlery, meet me there?" Lily said.

Harry nodded. He took this information to James. "Brilliant!"he said. "Thanks, mate. So your friend, Harmony coming?"

"Er, yes, I think," Harry said. He knew he shouldn't ask Hermione for favors, but he just so caught up.

"Great job," James said. "The Maurders will love you."

— — —

"Please, Hermione!" Harry said. "I promise after this, we'll go straight home!"

"That's just it, Harry!" Hermione said. "Who knows what will happen to us in the future! Think of all the classes were missing!" Harry could care less about the classes.

"C'mon, Hermione!" Harry pleaded. "I really want you to come with me!"

Hermione stared at him. "Really?" Harry nodded, knowing he was lying. Hermione sighed. "Oh, alright then! But you promise, after this we go straight back?"

"Totally."

(A/N: Present time.)

Ron Weasley sprinted past the Peeves, who was singing "Weasley Is Our King" loudly. He banged on Professor McGonagall's door.

"Weasley, what is it? It's eleven at night!" she said in her night gown.

"Professor...Harry and Hermione, I don't know where they are! They weren't at any of the afternoon classes."

"Don't be ridiculous, Weasley."

"I'm serious, Professor. Even Hermione didn't show up! You know how impossible that is!"

McGonagall stared at him. "Very well, then." She followed him to the Gryffindor tower. "Are you absolutely sure that they've been missing?" Ron nodded. "I don't see how they could. All Hogwarts entrances are fully locked, and you can't apparante in and out of this school."

"I don't know, Professor," Ron said. "But, the last I saw them was in Potions." They walked into the boy's dormitory. McGonagall cheek Harry's suitcase. His Invisibility Cloak was still there.

Panicking, McGonagall rushed into the girl's dormitory. As she feared, Hermione wasn't there.

"Where in the world could they be?" She said, shaking.

— — —

"What's he doing here!" Lily said loudly. "I refuse to share an evening with him!"

"Hey!" James said. "What have I done to you!"

"Let me get out my list!" Lily said angrily.

"Hold it!" Hermione said. "How about we just go back to the common room?"

"But, I thought you were going to introduce me to your friends," Harry said. He didn't want to leave so soon.

"Oh yeah, and here they come!" James waved the Maurader's over to him: Remus Lupin, Peter Petigrew, and Sirius Black. Harry had the strong urge to choke Peter. They were just about to come over, when Hermione pulled Harry's arm. She dragged him to the nearest opening in the hall.

"Hermione, what's wrong!" Harry said.

"Harry! Think about it, will you!" Hermione said, getting impatient. "Lupin, Petigrew, and Sirius know how you look like! They'll know you went back in time!" Harry sighed, but then nodded.

"Okay, let's go," he said, finally. Hermione rummaged through her pockets and took out the time-turner. Suddenly, Peeves swooped down, grabbed the time-turner out of Hermione's hands, and flew away laughing, manically.

Harry and Hermione ran down the hall, screaming after the Poltergeist.

"Hehehe," Peeves said, as if he was quite enjoying all of this mayhem. "What's this we have here? Some sort of a hourglass."

"Give it here, Peeves!" Harry yelled.

"Just for yelling at me, I think I'll just keep it here!" Peeves threw the time-turner out a window, and into the darkness. Harry and Hermione looked at each other, and started running out the front entrance, leaving Peeves laughing.

"This is great! Just great!" Hermione said, as they searched through bushes. They had been looking for about an hour. "It's no use."

"Nox." The light on Harry's wand disappeared. "It's late, maybe we can look for it tomorrow." Hermione nodded. To make things worse, it started to rain.

"Where are we going to stay?" Hermione asked.

"What do you mean 'where are we going to stay?' at Hogwarts, of course," Harry said.

"No, we can't," Hermione said. Harry turned to face her.

"What are you talking about?" he said.

"Harry, we can't go back there! If someone we know finds us back in their time...it'll mess everything up!"

"Well, what do you suggest, eh? That we sleep in a cave in the Forbidden Forest!"

— — —

"I can't believe we're sleeping in a cave in the Forbidden Forest," Harry sighed. He stared at the ceiling of the cave, which was leaking. He lay on his back next to Hermione.

"Well, we wouldn't be here, if you would have just listened to me in the first place!" Hermione said, angrily.

"Don't blame me!" Harry snapped.

"There's no one else to blame!" Hermione got up and walked far away from Harry as possible.

"Oh now you're mad at me?" Harry said, as also got up.

"Why shouldn't I be!"

"I don't know why you think it's ALL my fault!" Harry shouted across the room.

"Maybe, because IT WAS!" Hermione shouted back.

"Really, eh?" Harry said.

"Yes, really."

"Well, guess what? I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!" He walked out the cave, and into the rainy forest.

"Where are you going!" Hermione called after him. He didn't respond. "FINE! I HOPE A CENTAUR EATS YOU!"


Funky, yes? Still no H/Hr, but I'm getting there!

HBP Spoiler:

Harry/Hermione isn't going to happen, as Jo Rowling said in the Mugglenet/TLC interview. Some of the stuff I've read from H/Hr shippers have really made me sick. Some very rude and mean things have been said. It disgusts me. It makes me angry that H/Hr shippers are calling Jo and the series names for something she's always planned to do! Reading some of the things these people have wrote have ashamed me. Harry Potter isn't about ships/romance. So, please, do yourselves a favor and stop making fools of yourself. I'm not saying all, but most, already have.

Review?
