Chapter 6- Someone Famous

"Where is Harry?" He is missing a perfectly good Charms lesson," Hermione said to Ron, through the middle of Professor Flitwick's growth charm lecture. It was halfway through the class and the subject of Harry's absence had come up at least ten times. A tired, disgruntled looking Ron scowled.

"Would you Please give it a rest?"

"I bet you anything that he-" Hermione lowered her voice to a whisper. "- he put on those glasses!"

"So what if he did?" Ron said loud enough to make Hermione shush him. "He doesn't know anything about his parents. Wouldn't you want to know about yours? Give the guy a break."

"Ron, you know I'm not trying to keep Harry from being informed. It's just- I don't want him to make it a habit. You know how he reacted to the Mirror of Erised. He wouldn't care if he died in front of it. You told me yourself."

"He has grown a lot since 1st year Hermione. I don't think you give him enough credit." By now half the class was staring and Flitwick squeaked at them to shut it. They went through the next few minutes silent and taking notes until the Charms class door burst open and a menacing Snape walked in, carrying a puzzled-faced Harry by the collar of his robes.

"I believe this belongs in your class," Snape told Flitwick. "I have already taken away house points, but if you feel the need for more punishment I suggest detention. Sometimes it's the only way to get through to Potter." With that, Snape threw Harry into the room, nodded at Flitwick, and shut the door tightly behind him as he left.

"Take your seat, Potter." replied Flitwick. Harry didn't move. Out of nowhere, Hermione gasped. Harry looked at her and she motioned for him to sit next to her. He followed the gesture. Sitting quietly down, he looked over at Ron and Hermione and said,

"Thanks I didn't now we had changed our seats around." Ron looked confused. He was about to remind Harry that they hadn't had a seat change, but Hermione stamped hard on his foot. She stared back and forth into Harry's eyes.

"May I speak with you after class?" she asked him. Harry nodded and smiled a toothy grin at her as he ruffled up his hair. "I have some questions to ask you." Ron wasn't sure if his eyes were playing tricks on him; he could have sworn that Harry had winked at her.

"I have some questions to ask too!" Ron spoke up, so loud that Professor Flitwick thought Ron was speaking to him, resulting in Ron asking some questions about growth charms. He didn't talk much after that.

After class, in the corridors, Hermione pulled Harry aside with Ron following closely behind. It took her a few minutes before she said anything.

"James?" she asked.

"Yes?" Harry smiled.

"So he did switch glasses!" Hermione told Ron. Ron finally gave her a look of understanding, but now it was James' turn to be confused.

"Sorry, what?"

"The glasses," answered Hermione. "That you made so that whoever wore them would be able to go back in time? Or switch time periods rather…I wonder.." Hermione was now babbling to herself.

"Don't mind her; she does that," Ron whispered to James. "So, do you know of the glass she was talking about?"

"Yes, but we just made them. Then again it must be ages into the future. Tell me, who did I switch with?"

"Your son. He looks just like you…well, except for a… er, birthmark her or there."

"How old is he now?"

"Sixteen, like us. But-"

"How is he with school? Does he play Quidditch?"

"School's good," Ron replied. "And he plays Quidditch. A seeker."

"Great! Let's see…" While James trailed off to think of another question, Ron seized the moment.

"Let me ask you something. You said 'we made the glasses.' Who is we?"

"My friends and I. The Marauders. We got the idea from a friend's watch. So where is my son now? What is his name anyway?"

"Harry."

"Harry Potter," James said to himself as if trying out the name. "Sounds like a good name, don't you think? Almost like… a name… someone famous." He sucked in a breath of pride. Ron chuckled a bit.

"You've got no idea."

A/N: Thanks to everyone who has been reading it's great! I've never had such postive response from so many people before. I had a lot of people tell me that chapter three should have been spaced out. My reasoning for having it in one big block is because it is supposed to make you fell over-baring, cramped and rash. That was how Harry was feeling. I wanted to try it and see how it worked. Thought I would clear it up. Thanks again for R/R!
