A/N: I am sorry if this chapter isn't as good as it could be, I have mild writer's block.

Only Time Shall Tell

Chapter Three

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY PROWL!" yelled Sirius in his ear as a wake up call

"Sirius! Do you mind? I might need that ear later on in life." Harry said while the rest of them where singing an odd version of happy birthday.

"Come on! Presents!" Yelled James

It was only a small pile, but Harry was used to that. He got presents from: Mr. and Mrs. Potter, James, Sirius, Peter, Remus and a group one from the Marauders which apparently he was a part of now.

"Since we are now letting you become a marauder you need a nickname. We decided on Prowl because of you panther form."

"Cool," Opening up Sirius' present of prank materials, he then moved onto James' and found …

"More prank stuff! Awesome! Thanks James." Peters contained some sweets an Remus got him a diary and a puffskien that James named 'Bubbles' (I don't know where I got that name, but it sounds funny.)

Mr. and Mrs. Potter gave him a broomstick servicing kit and a snitch. He thanked them and went down to breakfast.

He came back upstairs and to his surprise….. on his bed sat some presents. He walked over o tem and opened the top envelope. it contained:

Dear Harry,

I know that you are okay, this is from the future me. We are still looking for a spell

so that we can bring you back to us but while you are there, just enjoy yourself, we

will probably come and get you at the end of the year.

We can send things to you but you cannot send things to us, here are your birthday

presents from the future and have fun in the past with you father and his friends.

I keep telling them that you are okay and having the time of your life but your friends

are still worried about you.

I have sent a note to my past self as well letting him know about you. Have fun, you

have only a year with your father, enjoy it don't worry about us.

Yours sincerely

Professor A. Dumbledore.

He received the usual pies and cakes from Mrs Weasley and a long letter about how she hoped he was alright and he received some more futuristic prank stuff from Fred and Gorge and some 'super duty hair gel'. Charlie had sent him some dragon hide boots and Bill sent him a cool earring and a pierce your own ear kit. Ron got him a packet of chocolate frogs and a box of every flavour beans and a letter saying how he hoped Harry would come back soon. Hermione sent a really long letter telling him not to get into trouble and hoped he still wanted to come back to them also a nice book called 'Interesting and Useful Spells for Everyone'.

His holidays flew by and soon it was time to pack for school. In Diagon Alley when he had first gotten into this time Mr. Potter had given him a two compartment trunk so that his personal stuff could go in one compartment and his school stuff could go in the other. He had developed quite a collection of private stuff, mainly containing prank materials and Sirius and James had given him some tips on pranks, he had become quite good at playing them. He packed everything up neatly and shrunk his truck using the little button on the side that allowed him to shrink or enlarge his trunk as he needed it. Before he knew it they were boarding the Hogwarts Express. (I know I'm flying through this but I don't know what else to put in, hint, hint, and give me some ideas!)
