The Time Turner Incident [Chapter 1]


It was a warm summer morning, when Harry and Ginny left for work leaving Teddy Lupin and Victoire Weasley in charge of their kids. Although, they had some trepidation on leaving the kids alone but once assured by Teddy and Victoire that they will take care of the kids and won't let them cause any mayhem, they bade them goodbye and left for their work. Harry to the Auror office and Ginny to the Department of Mysteries where she worked as an Unspeakable after retiring from playing professional Quidditch for ten years.

Harry and Ginny had three kids. Two boys and one girl. James Sirius, their eldest and prankster extraordinaire, Albus Severus, who doesn't go looking for trouble but trouble usually finds him and lastly Lily Luna, who is the youngest and only girl and has her father wrapped around her little finger. And when you leave the three alone, it is a recipe for disaster, which is why Harry called Teddy, his godson over to watch them and Victoire, Bill and Fleur's eldest came with him as they both were a package deal. They were best friends who were yet to realise what they felt for each other was far more than friendship.

Right now, Teddy and Victoire in the kitchen helping Albus and Lily with their holiday homework while James went upstairs to get his books. It's now been fifteen minutes since he went upstairs to get his books and hasn't come down yet so Victoire sent Lily to check on him.

And now she was gone upstairs as well, after a while the people in the kitchen started hearing raised voices and footsteps thundering down. It looked like another typical Lily and James row was due. Albus just rolled his eyes at his siblings' antics and went back to his home work when Lily and James came down into the kitchen clearly arguing.

'James, you moron! Give me that time turner! Now! What were you even thinking?! Snooping around in Mum and Dad's study! You know we are not allowed in there.' yelled Lily.

'Oh really? Is little princess going to tattle on me? And don't act as if you are all innocent! You've broken more school and home rules than me and Al put together without even the slightest bit of guilty conscious!' retorted James.

'This is different! Time-turners are not toys and don't call me a princess!'

'Why don't you take it yourself? Hmm? Are you too short?' James taunted her raising his hand above his head keeping the time turner out of her reach. Lily tried to reach for it when Teddy interfered.

'James! Lily! That's enough! Now give me the time turner and go back to studying!'

'I don't think so. I'm going to keep this with me until Mum and Dad get home and then exchange this for the Marauders Map. Which was why I was in their study in the first place. Giving this to you will be a little counter-productive, wouldn't it?' James said.

But before Teddy could anything, Lily lunged at him trying to take the time turner from him. Startled, James dropped the time turner. It broke and the air was filled with yellow smoke.

James, Lily! I'm going to kill you! Al yelled before they were succumbed by darkness.
