Hey everyone! enjoy another improved chapter! Again no big changes. 7/5/2020
Hi this is chapter three if you're reading this please review, because I'd really like to know what you think! I hope you like it and if anyone was curffuzled this whole story is from James Sirius Potters point of view, unless I say otherwise. This Disclaimer is for the other chapters as well I just realised I forgot to put one.
Remember First generations with people named after them will be in bold.
Disclaimer: This is my story I'm JK Rowling in disguise because angry people are after me for killing off Sirius and Remus not.
The four newcomers seemed to be arguing, the bushy haired girl was yelling at the boy with glasses whilst the ginger children were conversing worriedly.
"I can't believe you'd throw it at me! Its a time turner not a bloody Quaffle. Honestly Harry I would've through you'd have more sense. I don't play Quiddich because I have terrible hand eye coordination and you decide to throw a time turner at me. We could-"
As the girl continued yelling James' mind was racing. She'd call the boy Harry and now he had the chance to study the newcomers properly the black haired boy with glasses looked just like him and Al. Oh no...he was looking at younger versions of his parents. He'd really messed up here. He'd just wanted to have a little fun, maybe go back a few days, give his brother and cousins a fright. Now he was in an office with his dead grandparents and their friends and teenage versions of he and his cousins parents. Al caught his eye and James knew he'd had the same realisation. He opened his mouth to ask his parents if they were who he thought they were when Al stepped on his foot. Hard. "Ouch!" he exclaimed drawing everyone's attention.
Al looked far from sympathetic "let me do the talking, okay?"
It wasn't okay, James was second oldest, the only one who he maybe would accept being bossed around by was Teddy but he still seemed transfixed by the sight of his dead father looking very well, alive and was actually younger than him. The newcomers appeared to have noticed them for the first time.
"Bloody hell, Harry look!" a teenage Ron gestured towards him, Al and James. He saw his father's expression go in to the same kind of shocked frozen expression as Teddy's he just didn't seem to know whether to be transfixed by James or well James. James couldn't help but think the way his eyes travelled between them was a little funny.
"Shut up Ronald! Where are we?" said the girl, who James was now sure was his Aunt Hermione.
"Welcome to wonderful destination of dear old Dumbles office. Increasing swiftly in popularity." Sirius said dramatically making a sweeping gesture.
"You're in 1977. I'm guessing your time travellers too" said Remus.
"Now, now Moony why-ever would you think that." said Sirius with a grin.
"We can't be making assumptions," added James.
Moony gave them a fondly exasperated look, " forgive me Prongs, I don't know where I could have got that idea."
"I'm afraid it's not for me to give you my forgiveness Moons." He gestured to the group of teenage parents. Hermione seemed to be getting more frustrated the more the Marauders messed around.
Peter looked uncomfortable "We haven't even figured out if they're death eaters yet!"
The other Marauders seemed to consider this for a second whilst Ron and Ginny began to angrily protest. James supposed when Death Eaters were more than something for your History of Magic professor to bore you with, then it was more of a sore spot.
"Alright then potential miscreants-"
"-miscreants really Pads. You sound like an old women."
"Just channeling your mother Prongsie, the most formidable Potter I know-"
"Honestly you two, can you concentrate for more than thirty seconds," said Remus in a long suffering tone.
"Right sorry Moony. Left sleeves up ladies and gents." Sirius said cheerfully.
James was confused, that seemed like a pretty random request.
"It's where Death Eater's dark marks are dummy! Honestly do you ever pay attention in History of Magic." Rose hissed in his ear.
"Only to the interesting parts." James replied with a shrug.
"Hurry up you handsome devil, lets get this over with," James was suddenly right in front of him, looking expectantly at his left forearm.
"Oh sorry," James suddenly wasn't sure what to say. For once, when confronted with the man he'd looked up to his whole life, there was no clever quip at the tip of his tongue no joke ready to come out. He just pulled up his left sleeve, showing the unblemished skin underneath.
James smiled, "looks like they're all good. Once again confirmed Death Eater free territory."
"Which just leaves the question of who you actually are? And how you managed to get in to a highly warded castle." Remus looked suspiciously between the groups.
"We had an...accident with a time turner and it took us here. If you could just help us locate Professor Dumbledore, I'm sure with his help we can be on our way home as soon as possible." Hermione seemed relieved to finally be discussing the situation seriously.
"We're from the future" said James.
"We also came here by time turner, but it was less of a mistake and more a stupid-" Al added.
"Don't get your wand in a knot I wasn't expecting this! I swear time turners aren't meant to be powerful enough to transport us this far back in time." James defended himself.
"They're also highly volatile sensitive magical objects that shouldn't be messed around with!"
"Honestly Al-"
"Don't you honestly Al him. This is all your fault James Porter! We might not-" Rose angrily glared at him. It was the first time she'd looked him straight in the eye since New Year, he honestly would've rather she ignored him in that moment. She was a little scary once she got going.
Teddy calmly interrupted their argument. "Alright you three, calm down. Fighting with each other isn't going to help anyone right now. James you're an idiot, we all know that. But I don't think even you would've deliberately been this much of -"
"Ahem, as the other half of the fabulous duo and equal player in this unfortunate prank I contest not being awarded the title of idiot alongside my co-conspirator." Fred cut in, speaking in an exaggerated pompous tone that always made James laugh. It also kind of reminded him of his Uncle Percy but even Uncle George didn't appropriate that comparison.
Teddy sighed but James knew he wasn't actually annoyed. He thought he saw him fighting off a smile at Fred's antics. "Yes, sorry Fred, wouldn't want to leave you out. I'm sure there will be plenty of time to let out our frustrations at the idiots, but right now we need to find a way home."
"Where or when exactly is home?" asked Remus.
"I don't think we should tell you where-" Albus began, always the cautious one.
"Hogwarts," James saw no harm in saying.
"2020 to be precise" added Fred.
Remus nodded. "We'll do everything we can to help."
"What time are you from?" James asked the newcomers.
"1996" said Hermione.
"So what are everyone's names" asked James "I'm James Potter, this is Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew."He added pointing to all his friends in turn.
James, Sirius, Remus and Peter looked at the time travellers expectantly.
James panicked, what should he tell them? Oh right he was James Porter, but wouldn't it make sense for Harry to be a Porter as well since they looked so alike.
He looked at his fellow time travellers desperately and saw Teddy, Hermione and his younger dad whispering. Then his dad stepped forward and said "Hi, nice to meet you, I'm Harry Porter, these are my younger brothers." He pointed to James and Albus and then so the Marauders couldn't see gestured for them to introduce themselves.
"Hey, I'm James Porter the awesomeist and best Porter brother as you know."
"Not a word, Jamie" Lily said with a laugh she liked to make sure her older brother was kept in his place.
"Also the most arrogant" said Albus quietly, everyone laughed except James who rolled his eyes at his younger brother. Albus ignored him and continued "hi I'm Albus, but everyone calls me Al."
Harry pointed to the others, "These are our cousins."
Fred stepped forward and said in an announcers voice "Ladies and gentlemen, James. I present to you the wonderful Wesley clan! I'm Fred. This is my older sister the gorgeous Ginny, my older brother the ridiculous Ron… sorry sorry couldn't think of any other adjectives!" he said when Ron gave him the death glare, " the ruthless Rose, the...happy Hugo and finally the lovely little Lily."
"I'm not little!" exclaimed Lily "I'm twelve. That's not little!"
Everyone laughed and James said "Of course you're not little, midget," Lily scowled at him, which just made everyone laugh harder.
Then the door opened, Dumbledore entered and the booby traps went off.
