While everyone is asleep in the boys' dormitory, Harry and Ron lay awake in their beds. Finally, Harry got up from his bed and went to Ron's.
"Ron! We're going!"
"Huh? Oh ya…"
Harry got his invisibility cloak and Marauder's map from and trunk and the two of them sneaked out of Gryffindor tower under the invisibility cloak.
"Okay, come on, let's see what you really saw…" said Harry.
In the Room of Requirement, the time travellers were growing hungry (though it was only Sirius who realized this at first).
"I'm starved" Sirius said, but no one heard him due to the racket James's and Lily's fight caused.
"GUYS! I'M HUNGRY! AREN'T YOU!"
Finally, he was noticed by James who said, "I'm hungry too."
"So are we going to the kitchens or not?"
"I'm way ahead of you." said James leading the way out of the room.
Somewhere in the castle, Ron looked at the map and saw a familiar name. "Woah!" he said with awe.
"What?" Harry asked, "is it something I should know?"
"No, but I just found out something that will make you kill me."
"What?"
"I think I was hallucinating."
"You got me through this just because of a hallucination!"
"Sorry..."
"Nah, it's all right."
So the two headed to the common room without speaking. But then, Harry broke the silence when he said, "Ron, I'm off to bed."
"Okay. Hey, can I borrow the map?" Ron asked.
"'Kay" Harry yawned as he disappeared into the boys' dormitory.
Ron, contented with the map headed for the portrait hole. But just when he was two feet away from it, he remembered one minor detail: he forgot to nick the Invisibility cloak! So quietly, he sneaked into the dormitory to get Harry's Invisibility cloak and ran all the way out of the tower under it, miraculously, without tripping.
So now, the hungry time travellers are in the kitchens. Sirius, who shouldn've been used to the wonderful smell of the food in the kitchens by now, was breathing in the scent of food.
"Woah... so much... food!" Sirius cried.
An elf, hearing his cry, immediately rushed towards Sirius. She bowed so low that her nose touched the floor. Then she slowly stood up and asked, "good evening sirs and miss, would you like anything to eat?"
"Yes, please! We're starved!" exclaimed James.
The elf smiled. "Oh sir! There is no need to say please!" With that, a couple more elves approached them bringing trays that were filled to their capacity. Ones the elves placed the food on the table, James and Sirius got a head start eating, leaving Remus and Lily in a battle to fight for the food.
After they finished the food (Lily and Remus were able to eat quite a lot too), they thanked the elves and left. Now all they needed was a destination for the night. Just then Sirius's and James's eyes met. Their faces broke into grins (evil ones) and led the way for Remus and Lily not speaking of where they were headed.
Ron, as we left him, was on a quest! The quest for truth! When he saw the map while searching with Harry, he saw familiar names. Three of them were ones he thought dead, and the last one who ought to be guarding the headquarters or doing tasks for the Order.. And now, Ron can still see their names in the map. And he knew where they were headed...
"Oh no... Mcgonagall's office!" he gasped, but still ended up following the four.
Remus also noticed where they were headed for. He wanted to be heard so he asked, "why do I have a strange feeling we're going to Mcgonagall's office?"
"That's the point." Sirius said, still wearing that mischievous grin identical to James's.
"We'll make some noise" said James.
"Wake her up"
"And--"
"Let us get caught?" Lily interrupted with her eyebrows raised.
"No," James replied. "Stay under the cloak and NOT get caught."
"And when are you planning to go back to our real time?"
"Oh, Si's just here with the timeturner."
"Yeah!" agreed Sirius. He checked his pockets for the timeturner in order to prove to Lily (and Remus) that he had it, but then the color from his face disappeared. He didn't say anything after that, but Remus knew there was something wrong.
"What?" Remus asked Sirius.
"Nothing."
"Where's the timeturner?"
"You lost it!" asked James.
"What stupidity!" cried Lily.
"I knew we shouldn't have left it with you!" said Remus.
"What are we gonna do now?" Lily whined.
"I suppose we have to go to... Mcgonagall..."
"What!" said a shocked Sirius.
"Party poopers" James muttered. But then, he was distracted by a moving dot on the map. "Hey look! Some dude's wandering around!" he announced to the others, who were all busy glaring at Sirius.
Remus suddenly went towards the map. "Is it one of our supposed-to-be kids!" he asked excitedly.
Then everyone's eyes were now on Remus.
"Kids!" they asked him.
"We are in the future..." he replied simply.
Too distracted to notice anything else, they were suddenly bumped by an invisible object. Thus, Ron and the time travellers were revealed due to the fact that Ron ad bumped them and teir invisibility cloaks fell. Ron stared at them open-mouthed. He picked up Harry's cloak without taking his eyes off them. James, who was quite used to his admirers simply picked his invisibilty cloak from the ground.
"What are you looking at!" Sirius asked Ron, breaking the silence.
"You. What else should I look at anyway?" replied Ron.
"You lot, you're coming with me." said a sharp voice from quite a distance.
