Chapter 3

The Hogwarts express and the future's secrets

The last week of the holidays were very hectic, partly because Sirius had come to stay again. He was very cheerful, but he did seem to change the subject every time my mum asked how his parents were doing.

"James! James get down here this instance! We have to go, or we'll be late for the train." James got up slowly, and got dressed, than Sirius yelled up the stairs "James! You do know that Lily will be on the train? So the sooner ya' get dressed the sooner you'll see her!" James's eyes widened and got dressed much faster. He was down in the kitchen with all his stuff ready, he waited for everyone else to get in the kitchen. Sirius stepped into the kitchen and grinned. "So. You brainless git, it takes a girl to get you to go to school? Boy! You sure have changed." He grinned at him again.

As they pulled up to Kings cross station, and ran through the barrier between platform 9 and 10. James and Sirius who had run through together grinned at each other and spotted Lupin. "Hey Mooney!" James ran over quickly followed by Sirius. They all looked around, and finally, spotted a small, plump boy walking through the barrier. "Wormtail!" James yelled, and Peter Pettigrew turned to look at them, and than ran over, the marauders were united again.

As they piled on the train they passed a compartment full of prefects, where Lupin left them.

Lupin POV

I walked into the compartment and sat down next to the Gryffindor female prefect, it was Lily, of course. Lily looked at me and than quickly looked away, blushing.

I looked at her in awe. It was supposed to be James, not me! I knew I was the only one she liked from our group, but I still hadn't told her anything. Well about me, I had tried and tried to get her more into James, but it hadn't worked in the slightest.

As the head boy and girl explained about what we had to do as prefects, I wasn't that interested to tell you the truth. It was kind of bored after hearing it last year as well.

Instead, I was off in my own little world thinking of pranks we could play on Peeves and who the new potions teacher was. I didn't even notice when the meeting was over, until of course when Lily nudged me in the ribs and I quickly got up and left the compartment and strode down the train, until I found the compartment with my friends inside.

(Third person)

Lily, who had also been bored during the meeting, was just watching Lupin who had a glazed expression on his face. She knew he must have been thinking of something interesting, because there was a slight smile playing on his face. Once the meeting was over, she woke him up, and left.

Everyone in the compartment looked up when Lupin walked in, they all grinned as he sat down. "The younger prefects will be patrolling this year, so I'm free till we get there." He said smiling sheepishly. Sirius walked over to him and barked, "So, what did you get for your O.W.L.'s? I got an O for potions, an O for defense agents the dark arts, and an O for-." "I think we get your drift, Padfoot." James cut him off. Sirius grinned and looked at Lupin. "Well, I passed pretty much everything but divination! I didn't really want to keep that any way though…" Next Sirius look at James, "Come on Prongs! What did you get?" James looked up and said in a stupid mock-girl voice "oh! Of course I got O's in every thing Pad, What else would I get" his voice trailed back into his normal one as he finished the sentence.

For a long while they just sat, laughing, and talking, as they always had. After a while, the smiling lady with a food cart came to them, she was a nice lady, and very pretty. She looked about 22 right now. James went out into the hall, and a few minutes later, he was back with armfuls of candy, sweets, and cakes. Along with a jug of ice cold pumpkin juice. They ate and chatted and discussed planes for new pranks they could play, and finally after what seemed hours they reached the school in which they would have all there adventures.

Once the feast was over, The marauders went up stairs to bed, where instead of sleeping, as they all wished to do very much, James showed them his perches from the shop in Diagon ally. Lupin opened his mouth as if to say something, but stopped. James grinned at this, than said in a mock-worried voice, "Oh! Mooney I wont USE it!" He grinned ad at that he turned off the light and everyone, following his lead drifted off to sleep. When He was sure everyone was asleep, James got up, and picked his Time turner up from its hiding place. He looked around one last time, and spun it so hard it could have gone on for hours, and it did, until it had reached a grand total of 26 years in the future.

The next morning, Sirius got up and walked over to James's bed, but he wasn't there. He went down for breakfast, and upon seeing him ran over and saw he looked a bit older than he had been last night. As James saw his friend sit down next to him he smiled and said "Ill have a son…"

Future: Harry Potter's 6th year

Harry Potter awoke from his sleep, being seeing the dream that had been haunting him all summer. A veil, and behind it was Sirius Black, walking toward him. He got up, and headed down to breakfast, but before he had taken two steps forward, he retched. And instead went to the hospital wing. Madam Pomfrey, after careful inspection, said he would need to stay in the hospital wing for a week or two; something about it might be cangues…

Back in the dormitory

James Potter was lying on his nice comfortable bed, and he had no idea why he wasn't asleep, and went back to it. That morning he was awoken by a red haired boy. The same red haired boy from his dream no less! "Harry! Common. We're gonna be late for breakfast! We're getting our schedules today." James looked at him perplexed, than he remembered, this must be the future! "Oh- um… alright you go down without me…" he spluttered nervously, having no idea what this boy's name was. At that moment, a girl called up "Harry! Ron! Get down here! We'll be late!" and at this, the boy named Ron, left without a word.

This gave James a chance to look around the room. Which was a lot like his but with different things on the walls and bed side tables. And, to his astonishment, on a cabinet next to him, was a photo of him, him and Lily.

YAY! I've got nothing better to do today than write this fic, so that's what I'm gonna do! (I'm not sure how many chapters I will come out with today) But thanks to all who reviewed, and keep doing so!

PLEASE RR!
