The Wheel Turns

A/N- I own the plot and most stuff you don't recognize. Everything else is J.K. Rowling's.

Reincarnation. Many believe in it. One life a butterfly, the next a rat. One life an orangutan, the next a greasy Potions professor. One life a Queen, the next a strict Transfiguration professor. One life a stubborn muggle-born witch, the next a stubborn muggle. One life a stalking, gorgeous wizard, the next a muggle. Fate gives one of the greatest loves in the wizarding world a secound chance. James and Lily Potter's story was cut short, but the wheel turns and their chance at life comes once more.

Jacob Henry Paddon was born to the Padding family in 1995. The Padding family was excited and astounded to get him, rejoicing at their first child after an eager awaiting of twelve years. He had come not a moment to soon. The rich family of the policeman, Sergeant Henry Padding was deliriously happy.

Yuri Midoriko Kobayasha was born to the Kobayasha family in 1995. The Kobayasha family was thrilled to have this addition to their family. Kaede, Yoko, Ren and Touto were delighted to have their new little sister. Sango and Kaika were happy, proud and sore. Well, Kaika was sore. Sango had forced him to get a vasectomy, so it was to be expected.

Jacob grew up spoiled by his parents, grandparents, nanny, maids and the girls that started to take notice of him around age eight. Adorable with hair that just won't lay flat, glasses that accentuate his cute-ness and mischievousness that is just so apparent in the pranks he always plays, he is the cause of heart break, fights and overwhelming crushes in his neighborhood. Forget the Backstreet Boys. He was the headache for teachers everywhere with his cheeky pranks. He was brilliant, but only showed it time to time. He loved playing with his teacher's, getting A's and R's by turns in the same subject.

Yuri was beloved by her parents and siblings. She was loved, but not spoiled as her parents believed in a work ethic, and their unfortunate lack of funds. She and her four siblings worked in the Sushi restaurant. She had flaming red hair and green eyes with her Japanese features, which didn't surprise the two Japanese parents much. Even though both of them had black hair and brown eyes, they were used to odd looking children. Kaede, the eldest had white hair and blue eyes. Yoko was the spitting image of Sango, brown eyed and black haired. Ren had bottle-blond hair and brown eyes. And Touto, the only boy, had bright blue hair with purple eyes. By eight, she was in grade ten. She was quite bright.

At eleven, both children received invitations to attend Nos Har Academy. They would be going on scholarships, making it completely free. Nos Har was one of the most prestigious academies in the school, for the best and brightest children in America. The genius's attended this school.

"N-N-NOSE HAIR!" Jacob, Jake, Paddon howled, rolling on the floor.

"Yes, yes Jake, it's funny. We got that after the first time you laughed. Five days ago. Guess what hon?" Jennifer asked.

"Wh-what Mom?" Jake asked, still chortling slightly to himself. Nose hair! It was just too ridiculous. Who was the genius who thought up this name? Nos Har, it was just too easy! Honestly, he would never end up being one of these idiots. What kind of torture must these snots go through from other schools everyday?

"Jake? Where you listening?" Jennifer demanded, exasperated. "Jake!"

"..Sorry Mom." Jake apologized, giving his mother of 11 years a dazzling smile.

She sighed. "Jake. What I said was, that you'll be attending Nos Har Acada-"

"WHAT?" Jacob bellowed, hugely upset.

Yuri's parents jumped at this opportunity. "Yuri, this is tremendous!" Sango exclaimed, embracing her youngest. "You will learn so much here, hai? Would you like to go here?" She asked her youngest daughter with a smile.

"I'll miss you and Papa though, Mama. Though it does seem like a really good school." Yuri said to her mother softly.

"You can always send letter's sweetling, and visit on the hols." Sango told her daughter. "It's a great opportunity, and you'll learn much."

"Alright Mama." Yuri smiled, hugging her mother tightly. "I'll go to Nose Hair Academy." The two of them laughed together over the pun.

Jake leaned against the wall, waiting for the School train to come sullenly. "Stupid school, stupid nose hair, stupid train, stupid mother, stupid, stupid…" He muttered angrily. His trunk, pieces of clothes hanging haphazardly out of it. Someone apparently didn't take much effort when packing. "I bet they don't even got a football team." He grimaced to himself.

"Actually, my dear messy hair, they do. One of the best." A black-haired boy told him with a grin. He stuck his hand out for a handshake. "I'm Blue. Rhetorical Blue." He said with a grin.

"..Rhetorical?" Jake asked with a grin, shaking the boy's hand. "Mind if I call you Rhet?"

"Not at all." Rhet grinned, shaking his head. "So, you got a name buddy, or do I just call you Anon?"

"Paddon. Jacob Paddon." Jake copied the James Bond-ish introduction with a sly grin. The terrain arrived and he picked up his trunk, walking with Rhet towards the train.

"Dude, that joke is so old." Rhet smirked. Jake hit him with an eye-roll. "You wound me Jakey-boy. Wound me so bad." He sniffed, clutching at his heart.

"Whatever Rhetty." Jake smirked, then stopped dead in his tracks. "Rhet…look at that, pal… Look at her!"

Yuri held her suit-case shyly, waiting for the train to come. She already missed her family, after the tearful hugs and promises to write quickly. At least she had a new pet to keep her company. An ebony kitten was curled around her neck. Faithful was her name. Faithful nuzzled her soft head against Yuri's face.

Yuri caressed Faithful's head softly. This school would be amazing. There was an extensive library, well-done dorms, excellent teachers and so much more. For once she would be in school with those her own age. Yuri thought, before getting interrupted by someone tripping and falling onto her.

"I'm so sorry!" A slightly plump girl with bright green hair cried with alarm. "I didn't mean to honest!" She picked up Faithful, then extended a hand to Yuri to help her up with tearful, upset eyes.

"It's alright, don't worry." Yuri smiled at the girl, taking the offered hand and standing up. She took Faithful when she was offered to Yuri. "I'm Yuri, you?" She asked with a smile, placing Faithful behind her ear.

"I'm Alexandria, or just Alex." The girl smiled back shakily. "I know I look weird, but my brother dyed my hair, and I didn't want him to but he said it was cause I broke his computer an' mom din't care an'"

"Alex, Alex breathe!" Yuri urged, laughing and getting onto the train with Alex. They both set off down the halls, Yuri laughing appreciatively and Alex smiling sheepishly. "Your hair is nice. It reminds me of my brother's. His is naturally blue."

"You got to be kiddi-Is that guy staring at you and drooling?" Alex blinked as she pointed to a guy who was, indeed, drooling at the sight of Yuri.

A/N- Alright. I mean no disrespect to those who have other beliefs than Reincarnation. I don't even believe in it myself. I wrote this because I came up with this plot. Just to make it clear, Jake-Jame, Yuri-Lily (Yuri mans Lily), Rhet-Sirius and Alex-Alice. Alice (Yes, Alice Longbottom) and Sirius are here because the soul and mind of Alice and Frank aren't there. It would be kinder to let the souls move on, don't you think? (Plus, less OC's I'll need to create and less chance I'll make Mary Sues and Gary Stu's.) Also, I'm ignoring the fact that there was over a decade between James/Lily's and Sirius's deaths. And you will too. :3

I've recently been inspired to write JamesxLily because I am finding more and more similarities between me and Lily and a guy across the street from me and James. ;; I don't like him, but I might. D: Yay for fantasy mirroring reality. D:

Now, please R+R!
