A/N: My friend Emma kept pestering me to update, so this may be a bit short.

Anyway, i hope this chapter is satisfactory. I'm not so sure about it.

Disclaimer: not mine.

"Nervous?" Remus asked

"Not really." James said as they walked towards the Shrieking Shack, they had been there loads of times before, so it wasn't a new thing for them.

They found a long stick and prodded the Whomping Willow, so it stopped thrashing immediately. They passed and entered the Shack, James looked at his surroundings; there was little furniture, and what was there was old and damaged. Obviously Remus still used the place for his transformations once a month. As soon as they were in the house, James pulled the Time Turner out of his pocket, he put it around him and Remus, and he was just about to turn it when he realised he had forgotten one thing. Dumbledores letter.

"Remus, the letter." He said

"We forgot it. Wait, Dumbledore should remember lending us the time turner. So it won't matter."

"Oh, yeah." James said, "Do I turn it fifteen times?"

"Yeah, it should take us to 1997."

James turned it slowly, counting each turn. When he reached fifteen he stopped and took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Then he opened them and they saw time rushing by in front oftheir eyes, they knew it was happening, although not much changed in the room. Occasionally another version ofRemus would come in, and he would transform, James hated seeing this, but Remus just watched , hating himself for being what he was. Suddenly the whirring of the time change stopped, they were still. James took off the chain and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Come on. The sooner we can get this over with, the better." He said.

As they walked towards the castle they were silent, James' confidence had slipped away and he was feeling uneasy. They were still quite far away from the castle when Remus pulled him into a dark crack in a wall.

"Let's go this way." He said

"This is the passage we found in fifth year! How did you remember it?" James asked

"I still come here, for my transformations, it's easier, and I want to keep Jesse safe from me." He pulled out his wand and whispered the word 'Lumos'

He said as his wand lit up with a bright light.

They reached the castle and slipped through another crack in a wall and found themselves on the quidditch pitch.

"Oi! Harry! What are you doing down there? You are supposed to be in the hospital wing!" a voice yelled.

James looked up to see a boy with flaming red hair looking down at him, he was flying a on a broom, with six others flying around practicing quidditch.

"Ron, look out!" another voice yelled as the first boy started paying attention.

"I wonder who that was." James said as they moved on their way to find Dumbledore

"I don't know, maybe you have a son called Harry." Remus said

"Maybe."

They came to a stop outside Dumbledores office.

"We don't know the password." James said

"Um, just start naming sweets. Lemon Drops?" Remus said

"Pumpkin pasties?"

"Chocolate frogs?"

"Bertie Bott's every flavour beans?"

"Orange Sherbet Cups?"

"Um, Exploding… grapes?" James said, the gargoyle sprang to life, revealing a stairway

"Exploding grapes?" Remus asked as they started to climb the stairs.

"Don't ask, I started saying one thing and then finished saying something else." He explained.

"Ah, I was wondering when I was going to be seeing you." A voice said, they saw Dumbledore, he looked much older, his hair was grey and his face was wrinkled, but his eyes still twinkled. His office hadn't changed much at all; it was still the same.

"Professor Dumbledore! Hello! I last saw you nineteen years ago but for me it was fifteen minutes!" James said.

"Yes, I know. Now, you will be needing some help with finding a cure for Miss Evans?" he asked

"Yes, please." Remus said.

"I have booked an appointment for you with a healer, and with a muggle doctor. I assume you did not remember your invisibility cloak so I have borrowed it from you son. You might need it. Also, Remus, you are a professor at this school. If you do see yourself, please stay hidden under the cloak."

"Thank you so much for this sir." James said.

"Please James, do not call me sir, it makes me feel so old." Dumbledore laughed

"Ok sir, I mean…"

"You might need to be on your way. You don't have much time."

"Yes, let's go James. Thank you once again." Remus said

"Yes, goodbye then." James said and he followed Remus out the door.
