The Gift Of Time
Chapter Four
Prongslet (For My Wonderful Reviewer, Emma)
-----
Before going to class for the first time, Harry spent most of his hour telling the Marauders about himself and his life in the future. Of course, he didn't tell them about Peter betraying them, or Sirius ending up in Azkaban, or any of that stuff. He wanted to tell them so badly, but he knew he couldn't. He could cause a lot of trouble if he messed up the future more than he already was. There was a chance that when Harry got back to his time, everything will have changed to fit what was happening now. Just maybe, there was a chance that they wouldn't.
He hated not being able to tell his father and Sirius about what would happen with Peter. Even if it did change the future, it would be a good change; though it would make too much of a difference.
He still told the Marauders that he grew up with no parents, but he refused to tell them why. James stated that since he knew, he would make sure that he wouldn't die. Harry hoped that it would be true, though he knew it wouldn't. He really wanted his parents.
When Harry finished telling them about his life, the Marauders began to tell them about themselves. Sirius told him about his parents and family hating him, and his relatives being at Hogwarts with them, most of them in Slytherin. He had a brother named Regulus in his second year, a cousin named Bellatrix in her fourth year, Narcissa in her sixth year, and a cousin whom he actually liked, Andromeda, a Ravenclaw in her seventh year. Sirius told him that she helped him a lot when he was sorted into Gryffindor and was turned on by his family and hated by most of the school. One good thing that Sirius told him was about his girlfriend, Melissa Star. She was a Ravenclaw in their year and was friends with Harry's mother, Lily.
Remus told him about living with his father, Robert, who was a Muggle and his brother Romey (pronounced Row-mee), whom was in his second year. Remus also had a girlfriend, Christine Star, another Ravenclaw, and the twin sister of Melissa Star. James looked slightly envious as Sirius and Remus talked about their girlfriends.
When it came to James' turn, he turned out to be very conceited. He told Harry that all of the girls loved him and that he was the master of pranks and Quidditch. When he was done, Sirius was laughing to the point of tears and hyperventilation and Remus was rolling his eyes in annoyance. When James saw that Harry was staring at him with a raised eyebrow, he stated that he must be like Remus.
"Where's Peter?" Remus asked later, as James and Sirius looked around for their books.
"He had detention with Prudus. He blew up another cauldron in his class," Sirius said, not totally paying attention to Remus.
At the moment, Remus and Harry were sitting on Harry's bed, waiting for Sirius and James to get ready for class. It was obvious that Sirius and James were not very organized, especially Sirius. They both had piles of books, and clothes, and all sorts of useless junk around their beds, Sirius' nearly twice as big as James'.
"Let's go," James finally stated, ten minutes later, now in possession of all his textbooks and supplies.
-----
Ron was sitting outside of the Hospital Wing. It had been nearly an hour since he had been told to sit outside and wait. Nobody was telling him anything about his friend, and it was beginning to get annoyed. Snape was still inside the Hospital Wing with Madam Pomfrey.
"Ron?" came a voice.
He spun his head around to find Hermione running to him.
"Why weren't you at breakfast?" she asked.
"Harry's ill," Ron said gesturing towards the Hospital Wing.
"What's wrong with him?"
Hermione took a seat next to Ron.
"I have no idea; they haven't been telling me anything! He wouldn't wake this morning and so I had to take him to the Infirmary. He's still in there with Snape and Madam Pomfrey at the moment. I've been sitting here for nearly an hour and I still don't know anything!"
Ron was getting aggravated.
"Calm down, you have to be patient. I'll stay with you to keep you company."
"Don't you have class?"
"Don't be silly Ron!" Hermione snapped with a slap to Ron's shoulder, "Harry's much more important than school!"
Ron smiled, knowing that to Hermione, not many things were more important than school.
The two friends sat silently. Five minutes later, the door finally opened, revealing the snarling face of Severus Snape.
"You may go to see your friend," he spat.
He gave the two students identical filthy looks, before storming down the hallway. Ron and Hermione exchanged glances and then walked through the door. Once inside, Harry was seen, lying down on one of the Infirmary beds, still unconscious. Madame Pomfrey was sitting at her desk, writing into some books, a frustrated look on her face.
"Madame Pomfrey?" Ron asked, slowly edging towards her.
Madame Pomfrey jumped slightly, calming down as she saw that it was only students. She cleared her throat before standing from her seat.
"So?" asked Ron, "What's wrong with him?"
"I don't know yet," she said, shaking her head slightly, "We placed many tests on him, but we couldn't find anything wrong with him. He seems to be in some sort of rare coma. We will continue to test him in case there are any changes or symptoms we might have missed."
Ron sighed and turned to sit with his best friend, a fed up look on his face. It was always Harry. Hermione immediately burst into tears and buried her head in Harry's chest.
"Harry, please wake up!" Hermione begged as she began to shake her friend.
But, like they expected, there was no reply.
-----
Harry, James and Sirius were sitting outside after their classes. The oak tree they were sitting under was the same tree that Harry and his friends would sit under in his era. Peter was not there at the time, because he had another three hours of detention with Professor Prudus.
"Old Snivellus is reading again! God, does he do anything else; he's such a nerd!" Sirius growled as he watched his and his best friend's worst enemy, Severus Snape.
Remus raised and eyebrow and lowered the book he was reading. He then rolled his eyes and went back to his book, muttering something along the lines of "how immature".
"Does Sirius always act like that when it comes to Snape?" Harry asked his father, "All he does is insult him."
"Snape is an asshole," James stated firmly, receiving nods of agreement from his friends, "He deserves all the shit we give him."
"Uh...okay."
Harry still wasn't used to people insulting his Potions professor. Most people were afraid to talk about him at all in the nineties.
"You know, Snape is my Potions professor," Harry whispered with a smirk.
Sirius and James gasped in shock, Remus finally dropping his book to pay attention.
"Does everyone, like, hate him?" James asked, his jaw still hanging ajar.
"All the Gryffindors, Ravenclaws and Hufflepuffs do. Snape treasures his own house and treats them like kings, so all of his precious Slytherins love him; he's the Head of Slytherin. Everyone else is just plain scared of him. People puke, faint and cry in his classes."
"Oh, sweet!" Sirius shouted, "This, I have to tell people!"
Harry quickly clamped a hand over his mouth and made a shushing noise.
"No! You can't tell anyone; not even him! It can really mess up the future!"
"Okay, okay. But doesn't you knowing us do it enough?"
Harry laughed.
"Pretty much, yeah. But don't tell anyway."
"I won't, I promise."
"Thanks."
Both Sirius and James moved closer to Harry, Remus listening from his seat.
"Can you tell us more about him? Please!" James begged.
"Not now, someone might hear us. I'll tell you when we're back in the dormitory."
Suddenly, the sound of two girls giggling was heard. Sirius jumped in excitement, and Remus began to smile. Harry turned his head and saw two pretty girls walking towards them.
"Who are they?" Harry whispered to James.
"Melissa and Christine Star."
Harry nodded.
"Hey, guys!" Melissa said, as she took a seat in Sirius' lap.
Christine sat next to Remus and rested her head on his shoulder. Remus wrapped an arm around her, causing Harry to cringe. He wasn't used to seeing his usually shy acting professor being intimate with women.
"You're the new kid, right?" Christine asked.
Harry nodded shyly.
"Don't be so shy; I won't bite. It's nice to meet you."
"Nice to meet you, too."
It was obvious that the two girls were unidentical twins. Christine had wavy, light brown hair, and bright blue eyes. She was built skinny and was slightly short for her age. Melissa has long straight hair, which was a mixture of blonde and brown, and she had blue-green eyes. She was built curvier than Christine, but she was nowhere near fat. She was taller than her sister. Both girls were very pretty.
"Where's Lily?" asked James.
Both girls raised an eyebrow and laughed.
"No you still have a crush on her?" asked Melissa.
"No! I'm just wondering why she isn't with you like she usually is," James growled, turning red.
"Whatever you say, James," sighed Christine, "Lily is studying in the library. She wants to be ready for her OWLs."
The next few minutes were silent. Sirius and Melissa were kissing, while Remus and Christine were whispering to each other and laughing. James was burying his head in his hands in boredom and Harry was staring at the girl who was sitting with Snape. Harry wanted to know who she was.
"James, who's that girl with Snape?"
Harry called James by his first name instead of Dad in case anyone would hear them. Also, of course James was still a teenager and wouldn't be used to having someone calling him dad.
"That's Anjeleekah Liverpool; she's Snape's friend, and I must say, only friend. Don't talk to her, she's just as bad as Snape."
"Is she mean?"
"Like hell! And bloody bitchy too! She comes from an extremely rich Liverpuddlian family and is awfully proud of it. She loves to brag and insult everyone of lower class, including some of the Slytherins. She's even worse to Gryffindors who aren't wealthy, like Remus and I. She also acts sort of odd, and a lot of people believe that she lost her head as a child."
When James was done, Harry decided to take a better look at the girl. She definitely looked evil. She had small, dark brown eyes, which seemed to be constantly glaring. He also noticed that one was a lighter shade of brown than the other. Anjeleekah had curly, dark brown hair, just passed her shoulders, a squarish face and a slightly olive skin tone. She was also very short for her age.
(Anjeleekah is NOT a Mary Sue! She is based on me in looks, but doesn't act like me. This is also the only part of the story where she appears. I might make her come in a few times later, but nothing big. She's really short like I am, lol. My friends even pat me on the head...)
"Scary, isn't she?" James asked.
"Is she part Vampire or something?"
"I think her dad might be one, but I'm not sure. Though, if one of her parents is a vampire, I'm sure it's her dad. He's the one with the money and the old name, and everyone knows that Vampires are filthy rich. That might be why she hangs out with Snape. His father is a vampire."
"Wow," Harry said in awe.
He had never expected Snape to be a Vampire, even with his horrid personality. He continued to watch Anjeleekah and Snape. When the girl noticed that Harry was watching her, she placed a sour look on her face and gave Harry the "finger". She then grabbed Snape by the arm and pulled him away.
"I hate that girl!" Melissa said once her tongue was out of her boyfriend's mouth.
"Oh, wow! You're not swapping spit anymore! It's a miracle!" James gasped in fake enthusiasm.
Melissa slapped him on the shoulder as Harry, Remus, Christine and James himself laughed.
"I'm going to find Lily," Christine said, standing up.
"I'm coming with you," her twin agreed.
The two girls gave each of their boyfriends a kiss and left down the schoolyard.
-----
Harry, Sirius, James and Remus were sitting in the Common Room, finally joined by Peter. It was past twelve in the morning and all of the other students had gone to bed hours ago, leaving the room free for the Marauders and Harry.
"Harry needs a nickname!" James announced, changing the subject of their usual conversation about Muggle music.
They would listen to Remus' radio during the summer or at Hogsmeade. The band they had been talking about that night was Led Zeppelin. They had all fallen in love with the song "Kashmir" and were telling Harry about it.
"What kind of nickname?" Harry asked.
"A Marauder nickname of course!"
Harry smiled at his father, receiving a smile back.
"Now, who should choose it?"
"I think you should, since you're his father," said Remus.
"You're absolutely right. I chose the best names anyway."
The others rolled their eyes, except for Peter, who had fallen asleep on the couch and was shoring loudly.
"Does he ever shut up?" Sirius complained, his hands to his ears, "He's like a fucking trumpet!"
Harry and Remus laughed as James paced the room, thinking of a name.
"I got it!" James exclaimed suddenly.
The others went silent as they waited for James to speak.
"Prongslet."

Author's Note: Gay name, I know. And...JAMES IS NOT A MINI JAMES! J.K. said it in the book that they were similar in height!
Feedback:
Ashen Wolf: It was a virus on the hard drive. I'm thirteen, but I'm in grade nine. My birthday is on October twentieth, so I will be fourteen then. I know that I told you this in an e-mail, but I felt like typing it out again :)
blink gurl017: It was 192 or 129 viruses, I don't remember either. I will check what I put down later. One of my friends once had 495 viruses! They haven't taken off any of my A/N chapters. Omg! I hate French! I always fail!
Moon Lace: I love your stories! They're so much better than mine! According to my teachers, I suck at writing. We write stories at school and I always get sixties and seventies. It's horrible! I'm going to take creative writting next year and hopefully it will improve my writing. Two Remus' and Sirius' is sexy. VERY sexy. I'm gonna have Harry tell Sirius that he sucks at Quidditch when he gets back to his own time.
CreatorChaos: I did know about the Weasleys being out of Hogwarts already (they obviously needed to to have a kid Charlie's age) but I wanted them to be in the story as an unmarried couple and I didn't have any other way to have them in there. J.K. Rowling said that Lily was a Ravenclaw in an interview. They never said she was a Gryffindor in the books in the books, so I don't know why people think that.
Meepie: (Gets Poked) Ahh! I'm getting poked to death!
Riannya: In the end, nothing will end up changing the future, so he isn't actually risking anything. He doesn't know this though. I'm absolutely obsessed with Harry and Sirius bonding, and Remus and Harry bonding. They're my three favourite characters.
GarnetGirl9: Everyone always describes them as modern day styled. It annoys me because they are from the Seventies and I love the Seventies and I don't want them to ruin it. I should have been alive then. I got a new Led Zeppelin t-shirt :) I love Led Zeppelin, but I wanted a Beatles shirt the most :( Me and my friend are going downtown where there are all sorts of stores for miles and we will go to Seventies and Sixties stores for Band Shirts.
foxyie xox: You can beg me to update but please don't poke me! Alot of my reviewers poke me :) (Get's a pet on head from random reviewer) Nooo! THEY'RE PATING ME...arf arf meow! You must update as well.
Amanda Lily Potter: I made him say everything early so that they will know who he is and possibly help the plot. He has more chances to become friends with the Marauders now that they know who he is. He won't tell Lily though.
Lady Angelique of mystiqu: Lily was a Ravenclaw, J.K. Rowling said so in an interview. I was going to put Peter in Hufflepuff, Sirius and Slytherin, and James and Remus in Gryffindor, but I decided that it would be too hard for me to write.
hayz: Yay! I'm so glad that you anjoyed it! :):):)
hikky16: He won't ever tell them about Wormtail. I'm happy that you like my story.
alana: You founf my story on Google? Was it a link to ? Wow, I want to see me on Google!
merlindamage: (Tears of happiness) GEE! I FEEL SO LOVED!
Esmerelda Gamgee: Thank you for taking the time to review. Like 166 people have me on Author's Alert and 95 don't review. They're ignoring me! Wah!
lyss33: Lol, Harry hanging out with his dead parents reminds me of something that my Religion teacher told us. She was like "You have to look on the bright side. You could be chillin' with your dead grandma and still have fun." I laughed so hard that I snorted and caught attention.
sailor xseleana: I would have written more at the end, but I was really tired and I decided to finish his conversation in the next chapter.
Illusion of the Mind: Ahh! I will get beaten up!
Emma: Aw, I don't wanna make you cry! And so this chapter is for you! See what I wrote after the name of the chapter?
MoonFireFire: I'm glad you liked it! Your pen name is SO cool!
Princess Smarties: I'm not going to have anything gross in here. I'm not a fan of Romance or Slash so don't expect anything mushy-mushy or horny. I love slash fanart though:) I once founf a scary one of Fred and George having sex and I sent it to my Beta (who hates slash) and she freaked!
animalzoo: I lovemy Dwaki, but I had to make him evil. He's my sexy. Snape is my sexy too and I made him evil as well.
Tekyah Ariel: The stuff won't be effecting the future, only Harry doesn't know it. He's gonna be really mean to Snape.
angul-gurl: I wanted to make Sirius and James hardcore, seventies style, rocker looking dudes. I got the ideas from Led Zeppelin, lol.
vickiicky: I'd tell them in a second and then stalk them :)
An Anti-Sheep Cheese Muffin: I think sheep are the cutest things ever! I love MSN! It's awesome! AOL really messes up my computer. You can send me your stories if you want them edited and I will do it for you.
Stephanie: I wwanted the way they look to be different. I didn't like how J.K. didn't make them very Seventies style, so I made them like that. By bowl cut, I meant the way it was in the movie, only maybe a little longer.
kestral-girl: I love the Seventies so much that you don't understand! It's sexy (Led Zeppelin). I'm glad that you like my writing. My teachers don't.
Beth5572: I hope that you are enjoying the story.
Tara: My computer is now fixed, and I have never been happier in my life!
