'And—and so which year is this?' Rose asked, being really really scared.

'19—1995?!' Fred sputtered.

'So you've from twe—twenty-one years in the future?!' George yelled, disbelieved.

'Wow!' they wowed together.

Lily started to cry. Ginny automatically stepped up front and put her arm around Lily.

'G'd old mum, are you, Gin?' George sniggered.

"Hey Harry, why not join your 'wife', eh?" Fred continued.

Harry blushed.

'Such a nice family gathering we have here, huh, but we must keep asking questions, since their identities have not yet been totally confirmed.' said Dumbledore, saving Harry from another of Ron's 'how could you, Harry's.

'I've bought some Veritaserum—maybe you would like to choose a volunteer to help with our work?' Dumbledore asked/demanded the 2016 kids.

James looked around. Well, he was the eldest in the seven of the '2016's.

'I'll do it.' He said.

Albus (Potter) looked surprised. Lily looked surprised. Rose looked surprised. Hugo looked surprised. Roxanne looked surprised. Fred the second looked surprised. Even Professor Dumbledore looked surprised.

'WhAt?!' James said, unsatisfied with their reaction.

'It's nothing, nothing. Let's start.' Dumbledore got out the Veritaserum, 'and your name is…?'

'My name is James, James Potter.' Said James Not-Bond-It's-Potter, really really, really, really, unsatisfied. (another round of 'how could you, Harry's)

James took a sip of Veritaserum. It gave him quite a shock. He could hear Dumbledore's voice inside his head.

'Hmm, let's see. Don't worry, privacies respected.'-Dumbledore.

'Well, that's nice. Just don't expose the time I stole Rose's makeup to her.'-James.

'Oh, sure, but I'll guess she'll find out about it any time or other, eh?'-Dumbledore.

'Hopefully not. Now, are you done yet, old guy?'-James.

"I've never heard anyone called me 'old guy' before, but hey, I've never looked into their minds. Gosh you've got a lot of amazing pranks here, just make sure you don't do them all, especially this one—graffiti 'old guy' onto Professor Dumbledore's portrait."-Dumbledore.

'I will do that one if you don't get out of the head quickly. You're ruining my brilliant mind.'-James.

"If you're insulting me, I'm going to tell this 'Rose' lady about it—'-Dumbledore.

'Rose is not a lady. She's more like a bossy, stupid, crazy, lad-dy know-it-all.'-James.

'I haven't finish about you're punishment. You also have do an essay on Veritaserum. Two pieces of parchment. And make sure you know I do not ruin your brain by having to read it. Hmmm, finally there's something that isn't about pranks. The Weasley family's Christmas gathering- oh, so that adult Harry- gosh, he looks like adult James with a rounder face- and that's Ginny, age has done her good, bad thing it hasn't done that to me- Ronald! At least I have someone to be with me now, age hasn't done him good either- oh and Hermione, does age only do the feminine side good? I'm jealous.'-Dumbledore.

'Are you done yet? Come on!'-James.

'Are you guys done yet? You've been in silence for 5 minutes already.' Rose interrupted the two of them's deep-in thoughts.

'Hear that? Old guy?'-James.

'Fine. Oh, is that Perce-? And wait, another prank? Oh boy, you're really a prankster.'-Dumbledore.

Dumbledore got out of James' mind (finally-James!). 'They're telling the truth.'

'So?' Sirius asked, 'They're our next generation?'

'Yes.' Said Dumbledore.

'Well then,' Sirius continued, 'introductions?'
