Hey Guys! Back with the 2nd part of my three-part story! Hope you like! Enjoy!
"Have we...have we gone back in time?" Sirius asked.
"I don't know" Lily responded. "Sirius, let me see that" Lily said, pointing to the long, golden chain currently hanging around Sirius' neck.
Sirius removed the necklace from his neck and handed it to Lily. She quietly inspected it and then gasped.
"I know what this is!" She said, excitedly. "It's a timeturner, I've read about them!"
"So, where are we?" James asked.
Lily slowly studied her surroundings. They were standing in the courtyard before the Hogwarts entrance. "I think Sirius is right. We've gone back in time"
"Awesome" Sirius said close to a whisper.
"Not awesome. How are we supposed to get back? Do any of you know how to work this?" Lily asked, waving the timeturner back and forth.
"Calm down, Lils. We'll find a way back. Let's just make the most of it for now" James suggested.
"I don't ever remember asking you, Potter. You're the one who got us into this mess in the first place"
"Not again" Sirius said, shaking his head.
"I didn't have anything to do with that time thingy!"
"Yes, but you did get us all in trouble, which is how we ended up here"
Just then, a group of students emerged from the Hogwarts entrance, causing Lily to pull everyone aside and out of site.
"I may not know how to work this, but I do know that the number one rule of going back in time is that you can't be seen" she said, glaring at James and Sirius.
"Yeah, whatever, let's go see what we've missed" James said, jumping ahead of the three, and proceeding towards the Hogwarts entrance.
"I mean it James, we can't be seen!" Lily yelled, quickly trailing after him, the other two after her.
Within seconds the four were strolling the corridors of, what they thought was, the past of Hogwarts.
"Hmm...nothing seems very different" James said.
"Yeah, you would think that after hundreds of years they would spice the place up a bit" Sirius said.
"Let's go check out the old Professors!" James suggested.
"Good idea!" Sirius said, chasing after James as he sprinted down the empty corridors, dodging any students that happened to come their way.
Lily and Remus just shook their heads in shame as they followed the other two toward the dungeon. They all waited outside of the classroom and listened to the lesson currently being taught.
"Oh my..." Remus quietly whispered to himself as he peered inside of the classroom.
Lily slowly peeked inside of the classroom and immediately understood what Remus was talking about.
"Lily" Remus whispered.
Lily nodded in astonishment. "I know Remus." Lily said, turning from Remus to look back at the Professor. "We haven't gone back in time,... we've gone forward"
James and Sirius stared at the two with confused looks on their faces.
"Look!" Lily said to the boys, pointing to a man drapped in black clothing, with long, greasy, black hair.
"It can't be" James said.
"It is! It's Severus Snape!" Sirius yelled so loud that everyone in the classroom had turned towards the doorway, and Snape had begun walking towards the door to see where the noise had come from.
"Sirius!" Lily said in a loud whisper.
"Whose there!" Snape yelled, slowly approaching the door.
"Come on!" Lily said, running down the dungeon corridor.
They quickly followed Lily's instructions and the four ran as fast as they could until they were back in the entrance hall.
"You almost blew our cover back there, Sirius! Who knows what would have happened if Snape had seen us!" Lily said.
"Lily's right, we do have to be more careful" Remus said.
"I don't believe it. Snape, a professor" Sirius said, shaking his head. "What has Hogwarts come to?"
"If we're in the future, then I wonder where we are?" Sirius said.
"Dunno" Lily responded.
"Guys" James yelled, in a far away corridor. "Come here for a second"
Lily, Sirius, and Remus found James in front of an open glass cabinent full of gold medals, one, of which, he was holding, staring deeply at the engravings carved into the shiny gold.
"What's it for?" Lily asked, leaning over James' shoulder.
"Quidditch" James answered, without taking his eyes off the medal. "Look" James pointed to a spot on the medal that read 'Seeker-Harry Potter'. He tore his eyes from it and looked from Sirius, to Remus, then to Lily for some kind of explanation.
"Do you think...?" Sirius started.
"I don't know" Remus said, staring at the floor.
James looked to Lily, who just stood there, pondering, while staring at the medal. "Let's go see the dormitories, shall we?" Lily said, changing the subject.
Lily, Sirius, and Remus headed toward the Gryffindor common room, while James slipped the medal back into the cabinent, then chased after the three.
"We don't know the password" Lily said, when they reached the fat lady.
"We'll just slip in when someone else comes in" Sirius said, simply.
"Everyone else is in class" Lily said.
"Then we'll wait" Sirius said, shrugging his shoulders.
And that's what they did. Eventually, when two Gryffindor girls passed, the 4 snuck inside (and to Lily's satisfaction) without being seen. They headed up to the boys dormitory when the girls went up to theirs.
"Piece of cake" Sirius said, flopping down onto a bed.
"Are you alright, James?" Remus said, noticing the blank stare on James' face.
"Cheer up, buddy" Sirius said, patting James on the back, then continuing to invade other students trunks.
"Yeah, besides, who would want to marry you anyway?" Lily joked.
James smiled.
"Apparently you" Sirius said, holding up a picture frame of the future Potters.
I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. Sorry it took so long. I've been so busy with Christmas and my other story that I haven't had that much time to write. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be up, but I do know that it will be the last. PLEASE R/R!
