Chapter 2: No, it couldn't be…

Lily and James arrived at Hogwarts pronto to the portkey incident, which led them to the quiditch pitch. It was the middle of the afternoon in November. The rain beat the windows steadily, a cold breeze drifting in through the windows. James looked around the castle and smiled sadly thinking of his days as a marauder with his 3 best friends. There were so many good memories from his Hogwarts days; even though he was only 19 and a year out of Hogwarts he still missed it greatly. Being an elite auror he saw too many dark and depressing things then you should have at age 19. Catching back up with his senses he grabbed lily's hand and led her through the empty corridors to Dumbledore's office.

Lily looked at James quizzically "what's the password?"

He frowned "I don't know, somehow he failed to mention that last time he came by…" he was cut off by a loud shout coming down the corridor. Sirius was waving his hands wildly and running up to them shouting gleefully. Teachers were appearing at their doors nodding disapprovingly and closing them. James made a noise of amusement.

"Hey Padfoot, sup? Where are we supposed to go anyway?"

"Hey Prongsie!" he clapped lily on the back and James "We are currently locked out of the room, something about being to dangerous to enter or something" he waved a hand as if it was nothing " but anyways, how are the newly weds?"

Lily shook her head at Sirius' child-ness but couldn't help but smile at the young man who was had come to be her friend over the past 2 years "will you ever grow up Siri?"

He mock glared "how dare you! Lily I didn't know you swear! I can't believe you uttered the 'g' word!"

She smirked "ya well there's a lot you don't know about me" she laughed "but im serious"

"No you're not, im Sirius!"

James sighed exasperatedly "those 2 words should never be put in the same sentence 'serious Sirius' that's just way too scary…"

"I agree"

They turned around and smiled at 19 year-old Remus who was grinning at his friends.

"Amen" they all chorused.

"So does anybody know what this meeting is about?" Lily questioned "and where's peter?"

Remus sighed darkly " I don't know but I hear its really serious something to do with the future or something…and peter? Well he's here somewhere I think he went to meet up with his girlfriend Catalina"

They nodded at his response and continued to walk down the hallway in peaceful silence. In the days of looming darkness that's what they needed. Peace. It was a comforting silence to be walking in a pack of friendship like that, a moment that James knew he would hold onto forever. Nothing could bring them part. Nothing. Not if he had anything top do with it……….

Albus Dumbledore was running down the corridor at a pretty fast speed. Something, in which he shouldn't be doing at his age, but was anyway. The aparations were more serious then he thought. They were like the same as normal people but they were like ghosts almost…shadows…they seemed to hang around the castle with schoolbooks and what not as if they didn't know they were being watched. It's like watching something form within a pensieve, only these aparations seemed to fade after a while and appear somewhere else in the castle as if nothing happened. The most disturbing thing about it though was there seemed to be a mirror image of himself walking around sometimes. Albus could say in all of his years he had never seen anything like this. He also had reason to believe this was the future, therefore making this very difficult to hide form people, as the aparations could easily appear in a classroom without warning. He had called an immediate order meeting as too what they should do about this. As hard as it is to believe, Albus Dumbledore was only human, he didn't know every answer.

Slowing down to a walk he saw the Group of people he needed at the moment.

"James! Lily! Sirius! Remus!" Yelling was not something that Dumbledore did often, and when he did it was for good reason…usually.

The group of young adults looked up from their happy chatter and soon became somber at the sound of Dumbledore's grave voice. Walking fast they reached the stressed looking headmaster in seconds. James frowned. Something was wrong. "What is it Albus?"

Dumbledore sighed heavily "I'm afraid this is more serious then I thought. The meeting will be postponed until I get everybody in the castle in the great hall. Could you please make sure the teachers are aware of this new arrangement?"

James nodded "Of course, but where should the order meet afterwards?"

"We were originally going to meet in the room it happened…but it has gotten worse and we will meet in the great hall with the rest of the students in about 15 minutes" He looked at the group pointedly "I'm sure with you're…experience you should be able to make you're way around on time." The usual twinkle in his eyes returned briefly.

The 3 marauders grinned. This was going to be too easy. But lily on the other hand…

"Lily, I wish you too inform the order, which is currently hiding in the teachers lounge to come to the great hall as ASAP." Lily nodded her assent and hurriedly the 4 (in lily's case 2) walked hurriedly in 4 different directions to reach their destinations the fastest.

With that work done Dumbledore hurried off to his newest destination himself. The Great Hall.

Students whispered in hushed voices as the teachers sat themselves at the head table, waiting anxiously about what was so important that they had to miss class for. Surely it wasn't anything to do with Voldemort?

James watched in apprehension, thinking along the same lines as the students. What was so important that they had to drag the kids out of classes? Not that he would have mined if he were one of the kids…but still…

He was cut out of his thoughts when the Great Hall doors burst open with a flourish. The aging Headmaster walked steadily up to the head table where he took his place among the teachers. The silence was almost unbearable…

"Alas we are gathered here for an important meeting. As you see we have some former students here along with Ministry Employees. Please don't mind them, but back on topic. As I was saying, we have come across a rather serious problem." He paused dramatically "It seems Hogwarts has gained some aparations…from the future"

There was a stunned silence at these words. The tension could be cut with a knife…

"I will warn you to please stay warry of these figures. We don't know much about them; all we are aware of is that they are like ghosts. They appear at random moments…whenever. These figures can walk through you and are not aware of you. So be warned if you wake up to see a ghost-looking figure in you're dorm. So far we have only seen 2 figures roam the halls." He sighed "everything they eat touch or move is a ghost like imitation of what is real. You will not turn to a ghost if they touch you by accident or any of their stuff, but it can be quite…"

James frowned. This wasn't good. What if it impends the future? Then what will happen? He sighed. They'll just have to find out I guess…

But Dumbledore didn't get to finish his sentence. It was obvious why. 3 figures had walked in through the open doors. They were white. Like ghosts.

A scared shiver went through the crowd of magicians there. And when the middle figure lifted his head. The hall gasped. A 12-year-old James Potter was staring right back at them…
