Disclaimer: I don't own the characters or the world of Harry Potter, I only own the plot!
"Our appointment with the muggle doctor is first. It is at 10:30, tomorrow morning. Let's find some accommodation."
"All my relatives are dead." James said quietly, "They were killed by Voldemort."
"Mine disappeared, after the death of their neighbours they went into hiding."
"What about Lily's sister? I met her one time when we were going out the first time. Not a very nice girl, but it'll do for a week or so."
"Ok, do you think they'll let us stay?"
"They'll be too afraid to say no." James said confidently
"Let's apparate, it'll be quicker." And with a crack! They were standing on the perfectly mowed lawn of Number 4 Privet Drive, Little Whinging.
Petunia Dursley heard a rhythmic knock at her front door. When she opened it she saw a person she hoped and thought she would never see again. James Potter.
"What? How? Who?" she managed to stutter, and then passed out in shock.
"Ah, Remus help me. If her oaf of a boyfriend finds her like this he'll go crazy."
"WHAT IS ALL THIS ABOUT?" a voice boomed "WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY WI—POTTER?" Vernon Dursley stomped into view; he was standing in front of James and Remus, looking very big and incredibly purple.
"Vernon, you're a lot bigger than the last time I saw you." James said without thinking
"Watch it freak."
Petunia was slowly regaining consciousness; Remus knelt at her side, while James and Vernon fought.
"Here, eat this, it'll make you feel better." He said as he handed her some chocolate.
"NO! PETUNIA, IT'S LIKELY HE'S POISONED IT!" Vernon ordered
"Excuse me, Miss. Evans. May we please stay in your wonderful home?" James said trying to be polite.
" I am no longer Evans, my surname is Dursley. Why and how are you here? And who is this?"
"I am here because I need to find something. I have used a time turner and this is my best friend Remus Lupin." James said, his temper rising.
"Well, you can leave now."
"No! We are planning on staying here." James said
"This is my home and I will not have you freaks staying here." Petunia said
"It is my understanding that you are Lily's sister. You will show us hospitality and you will let us stay." James said, pulling out his wand.
"Fine." Vernon grumbled
"Vernon, I don't want them here." she whispered, she really hated the idea of having two wizards in her home, she had just sent James' son off to Hogwarts until next summer. She was sitting in her kitchen talking to her husband about what had just happened.
"I don't either, but they have those sticks."
"Can't we steal them from them?"
"I already tried, they locked their room."
"Will we tell them what happened in '81?"
"No, because they might try to change it."
"Wouldn't that be good? The boy would be gone forever."
"The boy will be gone permanently soon, he's almost seventeen."
"Oh, ok."
The next morning James woke to the sound of an alarm beeping loudly, whoever normally lived in this room was very strange, it was eight o'clock; Way too early to be waking up. He looked up to find the alarm clock sitting next to a picture of him and Lily, smiling and waving.
"Remus." He whispered, trying to wake him "Remus! Wake up!"
"What?" he grumbled
"They have a photo of Lily and I! Whoever lives in this room must be my nephew or niece! Maybe they think I am a great uncle!"
"James, you're not married to Lily." Remus said groggily
"Not yet!" James said excitedly, "come on, get up. We have an appointment at 10:30"
"James, we have two hours!"
James was about to reply when he heard a voice at the door.
"Oi! Potter, get up and make me breakfast."
"There is no way I am making you breakfast Dursley." James said
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be at that school for freaks? Did they kick you out?"
"Aren't you supposed to be at work? Or don't you have a job?"
"I'm not old enough to have a job! I'm only seventeen."
"Who are you?" James asked, he was rather confused
"Dudley, what's wrong with you? Did you…fall down a… drain?" the voice said
"Are you Vernon's kid?"
"You're so stupid Harry. Would you shut up? Do you want me to break the door down and pound you senseless?" he shouted through the door.
James turned to Remus, "Why is everyone calling me Harry?"
