Chapter ten.

a/n: another quick update!

"James?" Remus said, "Hello?"

"James! James! James! James! James! James! James!" Sirius said, still James did not reply.

They were sitting in James' bedroom; Sirius hadn't told James about what had happened with Emma and he was still wondering how to tell him. They were talking about how to help Lily and then Remus had just stopped; his eyes were focused and he looked very thoughtful.

"If I could find some way of getting a cure for her. I have to. She can't die." James said the words bitterly, as if each one pained him immensely. James was in pain, his Lily, the one he loved most; was going to leave him, she would close her eyes and never open them again. He couldn't allow it to happen; he would have to keep holding on until he reached his end.

"She may not." Remus said

"She may not what?" Sirius asked

"Die."

"What? How?" James said suddenly becoming alert again.

"Two words. Time Turner."

"Moony! You're brilliant!" James shouted jumping up excitedly.

"What? I'm not following." Sirius said

"James can use the time turner to go to the future and get a cure for Lily, and then bring it back, hopefully in time to save her." Remus explained.

"That's a great idea Moony, but how do you plan on getting a Time Turner, they are very expensive." Sirius said

"We'll talk to Dumbledore. He'll have a way." He said confidently.

"Remus, you have an answer for everything, sometimes it annoys me." Sirius proclaimed.

"Not my problem." Remus laughed

The three Marauders strolled into Dumbledore's office casually. It was a relief to know that the reason they were here wasn't because they were in trouble for a prank or a joke they had played on an unsuspecting Slytherin.

"Ah, hello boys. I haven't seen you in almost a year, what brings you back to Hogwarts once again?" Dumbledore asked, with a twinkle in his blue eyes.

"Professor Dumbledore. We have a problem, Lily Evans has a serious disease, called Tuberculosis. It is un-healable by magic and is very hard to cure with muggle methods." Sirius explained with a serious look on his face (a/n: haha! Sirius with a serious look. Funny stuff)

"Oh my! That is no good. Well, I will help you in anyway possible." Dumbledore said.

"We have had an idea, we are not sure that it will work, but I think it is worth a try." Remus said.

"What is your idea?"

"That we use a Time Turner to go to the future and find a cure for Lily. Do you have one we can use? Please Dumbledore, I can't lose her." James pleaded.

"I do own a time turner. But there are certain things I must tell you before I let you borrow it. Number one; no one can see you. That's why it may be a good idea to use it in the Shrieking Shack. If it is not there, it should still be deserted because of the myths that it is haunted. Number Two; you may need to take on an alias while you are there, certain things could happen which might change the course of history. Number three; I will send a letter to my future self, explaining what has happened. Finally, you should take one of your friends with you, should something happen they will be there to help you." Dumbledore explained.

"Professor Dumbledore; thank you so much, you do not know how much this means to me." James said happily, as Dumbledore walked over to a cabinet and pulled out a long chain with an object attached to the end. He handed it to James and said "James, you must put this around you and whoever you choose to bring, then turn it 15 times. That should transport you into the year 1997, twenty years from now; remember things will be different."

"Yes, I can do that." James said excitedly as the time turner was placed in the palm of his hand.

"Goodbye Mr. Potter, I hope you find what you are looking for."

"Thank you Professor."

The three walked out of his office and quickly walked out towards the Shrieking Shack, talking about who would go with James.

"I think Remus should go." Sirius said instantly

"What? Why don't you want to go?" Remus asked

"Well, you are … the… smart one." Sirius said, obviously trying to think up a reason to cover up for the fact that he wanted to spend time with Emma. "And I think in a tough situation, Remus would be better."

"Are you sure?" James asked

"Yeah, go for it. Have fun. Get a cure. I'll take care of Lily." Sirius said

"Ok, come on Remus." James sighed.
