"You mentioned time traveling—?" Hermione prompted, receiving five nods in response. "And you said that, um, she," Hermione inclined her head at Lily.

"Lily." Sirius, James, Remus, Miranda, and Lily, herself supplied at once.

"Yes, you said Lily cast a spell to make you time travel?"

"Yes, that's about the gist of it." Remus replied.

"But, sir, that's impossible—"

"Why would that be?" Remus asked her quite calmly.

"Because there are no spells to time travel and—"

"Sure there are." Sirius interrupted. "How else could we be here?"

Hermione frowned. "But I always read that the only way to time travel was by time turner—"

"The only way to legally time travel, you mean." James corrected with a sly smile.

"There are spells if you know where to look; they just don't teach you them in school, for obvious reasons." Lily added. "And I did. The Ministry closely regulates time traveling, and thus presents it that the only way to do it is by using a time turner—"

"Except there aren't anymore." Ron blurted out.

"Sure there are, the Ministry has a big ol' stockpile of 'em." Sirius disagreed.

"Not anymore, the whole stash broke when we—" Hermione suddenly stepped on his bare foot, causing Ron to yelp in pain. "What was that for?" He snarled.

"When you what?" Sirius prompted, looking intrigued.

"I'm really sorry, Sirius, but I don't think we should tell you too much about the future…in case it changes things."

"How do you know my name?" Sirius asked her abruptly. "You didn't know Lily's."

"Well if Harry is James' kid, I'm sure his best friends would know his father's best friend." Miranda replied, logically.

"But then why didn't she know Lily's name?"

"I'm sure that's not pertinent to the matter at hand, Sirius." Lily interrupted.

"Sure it is!"

"Why?" Lily challenged.

"Actually, that is a fairly valid question." Remus spoke up, looking vaguely perturbed.

"Why are you supporting him in his quest to torture us all with ridiculous inquiries?"

"Hey!" Sirius protested.

"All I'm saying is look at the kid's eyes, Lily…who else do we know with eyes that shade of green?" Remus clarified, gently. "Think about it is all."

Lily outright laughed. "You're both mental. You can't honestly think—" Lily laughed again. "No, that's just ludicrous…me and James…no way."

"I don't know for certain, but he did call you and Prongs 'mum' and "dad" when he first saw you…"

"Maybe I just look like his mum; it's possible. After all it was late and he was undoubtedly tired…"

James shook his head, saying softly. "Lily, it's kind of hard to get you mistaken for someone else…you're too striking."

"Striking?" Lily repeated, raising an eyebrow.

"That's just Prongs' fancy way of saying that you're incredibly hot." Sirius stated bluntly.

Lily blushed near as read as her hair.

James gave him an annoyed glare. "Thanks, ever so, for the clarification, Padfoot."

"That's what I'm here for." Sirius replied with a nod and a grin.

"But it's not like I'm the only one in the entire world with green eyes." Lily objected.

"C'mon, look at the kid," Sirius argued, pointing for emphasis. "Who else would Prongs hook up with that shade of green eyes! How likely is it that it is anyone butyou?"

"I'm sure there are other girls our year with green eyes—"

"Anyone else get the feeling that they're just a third wheel?" Ron muttered.

"You mean that feeling that people are talking about you in front of you?" Harry queried.

Ron nodded.

"Well than, yeah, I definitely have that feeling, mate."

Remus, obviously having overheard them, offered a sympathetic smile. "They do tend to go off on tangents, don't they?" He remarked.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione all nodded wholeheartedly.

Remus sighed. "Thus, unfortunately it's often left up to me to reign them all back in." It was time to steer his friends back to the matter of considerable importance, time traveling, once again. He cleared his throat loudly. "Maybe we should talk to Harry rather than about him, hmm?"
