In Dreams
Chapter 4
45 minutes after last entry, still Sept. 16
Wow. Take that Hermione; we did it without you! Yes! We did it! Of course, we accidentally brought along Lily Evans, but that could turn out to our advantage.
As soon as Hermione was gone, we went to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom (we do a lot of our devious plotting there…besides, Myrtle sure was glad to see Harry…smirk). According to the book, we needed to use something the person/s were connected to to bring them here, so we used the Marauder's Map. I guess since Lily is connected to James, she got dragged here, too.
Anyway, Harry understood the book better than I did, so he said some creepy incantation and voila! There were four stalls, one person on each U-bend. They were all asleep, so I guess we accidentally brought them here from their beds. You should hear Sirius snoring!
We decided to disguise ourselves. Well, actually, Harry was going to disguise himself to avoid questions about his family, and I thought it was a wicked idea so I should do it, too. I sneaked into Slughorn's office and found some already brewed Polyjuice Potion, poured some into two cups and brought them back to the bathroom. I was wearing Fred's old robes so I took two of the longer red hairs off and gave one to Harry. We out in the hairs and chugged the potion. I finished transforming first, but Harry is still outside the stall his mom is in, halfway through the transformati

Sorry, but while Harry still looked like himself, the door to Lily's stall swung open and there she was! She immediately punched him in the nose and he staggered back, hands over his face.
"James Potter, what am I doing in bloody Moaning Myrtle's bathroom!" she yelled. The door of the stall next to her opened and James stuck his head out.
"Good question," he said. Lily gaped at him and looked back out at Harry, who took his hands away from his face to show he looked exactly like Fred. Or George. Or whatever.
Laughing, I said, "You just punched George in the nose!" Harry immediately caught on and faked an annoyed grimace.
"Thanks for noticing, Fred." Right now Lily is helping 'George' mop up his nosebleed, and James and Remus are watching me write…Which is creepy. Sirius is still snoring.

Still staring…I can feel their gaze boring into my forehead…Arrghh… Well, anyway, Harry's okay now.
45 minutes later
I've taken to lugging this thing around with me and writing when I get the chance. Such as now.
Well, we've explained the general version of events to the Marauders and Lily, excluding anything that would 'disharmonize the timestream.' Yeah. Whatever. Sirius finally woke up, btw. Anyway, here's what was said.
'George'-Yeah…We're Fred and George Weasley.
Lily-You're twins?
'Fred'(myself)-No duh.
George- shoots me an evil glare Yeah, we're twins. We brought you twenty years into the future because we needed help finding something that someone hid.
Sirius- So you needed the Marauders help because we're bloody geniuses.
silence
George- Uhhh…yeah, sure.
Lily- Why'd you bring me?
Fred- Accident.
James- Do you have the map? That would help.
George- Yeah. pulls out map
Lily- So I'm stuck here for how long while you look for what?
Fred- Three days. A locket.
Lily- Right.
George- looks thoughtful for a moment, swears, and whispers to me Ron, the full moon is tonight!
Fred- So that's why he's looking so pale…and come to think of it, he hasn't said anything the whole time he's been here. looks at Remus Can't we just give him a Wolfsbane Potion?
George- No, he might become…I dunno, dependent on it…
Fred- Okay. So we need to distract you mum tonight while those three go down to the Whomping Willow.
George- Right. How'd you come up with that? You're not usually this smart.
Fred- It must have be divine intervention. Let's go.
We spent the rest of the time mapping out possible hiding places. We paid particular attention to Sirius's ideas; his brother was the one who hid the locket in the first place. However, most of his ideas were pretty stupid. Bloody geniuses my foot.
