Hey! Another reviewed chapter. sorry to any readers who have started reading whilst I'm adapting this fic. I'm trying to get through it all as quickly as possible but I understand some things may be confusing in the interim. One of the biggest changes is that the second generation doesn't know the true identities of the third generation. Hope you like the changes! 10/5/20

Hey sorry it's been a while. I want to thank:

Don't forget bold = 1st gen Normal = 3rd gen.

"So what do we do now?" asked Albus.

"You all will be enrolled in Hogwarts as students." James smirked at Fred and knew they were both thinking the same thing, they could be in lessons with the Marauders!" Apart from you Mr Wolfson, how old are you?"

"21, Professor" Teddy looked nervous. James knew that his cousin hated sitting around doing nothing and, being too old to attend classes he was afraid he'd have to do just that.

"And how are you at Defence Against the Dark Arts?

Teddy's expression brightened, "top of my class in school professor. I'm in my final year of the Auror training programme at the moment."

"Excellent, how would you feel about becoming our new defence professor? I was unable to find a suitable candidate at the beginning of this academic year so I've had to take the classes."

"I'd love to" said Teddy. James could tell he meant it. As Teddy was the eldest in a large family, Teddy was as much of a part of the Weasley/Potter extended family as anyone, he was used to helping people younger than him and organising things for them to do. His patience was endless and when he helped them with their homework he always managed to calmly and clearly explain things to them in a way that made no question make them feel stupid. James was sure he'd be an excellent professor.

"You will all need to be sorted. The ceremony will be at tonight's fest." James saw expressions of confusion on lots of his family's faces and his brother looked nervous. James didn't blame him, by all accounts the Slytherin house of this time was a much nasier and hostile place compared to the Slytherin of their time.

"But sir we're already in houses in our time," said Fred.

"Of course, but resorting is necessary. I'm afraid the hat is quite instant about these matters. Dinner will start in ten minutes. Please meet Minerva and the other time travellers outside the Great Hall." Dumbledore had that twinkle in his eye again, that seemed to suggest he knew something they didn't. James wasn't sure if he found it comforting or irritating.

Teddy turned to Dumbledore before they left, "Professor, do you have any idea how we can get home?"

"Ah yes, I shall begin to research our options as soon as possible. Perhaps you would be able to join me and whoever you feel would be most useful amongst your party to research in a couple of days? That should allow me time to gather information from my contact, discretely of course. Also, I believe you all could do with a couple of days rest to adjust to the situation you find yourselves in." James was as keen to get back to their time as any of them but looking at the almost green face of his brother he thought Dumbledore was right about them needing a couple of days to adjust. He was glad there was no chance he was going to be sleeping with Death Eaters, the hat had barely had to touch his head before sorting him in to Gryffindor.

He squeezed his little brothers shoulder in a rare moment of brotherly affection, "we'll figure something out if you end up in Slytherin, Al. Don't worry, I've got your back." His brother manged to muster up a strained smile that was grateful even if a little forced.

Albus Severus's POV

Ten minutes later…

Albus was more nervous than he had been at his first sorting and he'd been close to a nervous breakdown then.

He'd been worried he'd be in Slytherin and he'd been put in Slytherin. He'd thought his life was over the moment the hat said that word but none of his family had cared – except James but he'd come round in a few weeks – but now his grandparents would hate him, Sirius would hate him, Teddy's dad would hate him. He knew they would he'd be the Slimy Slytherin not worthy to be looked at let alone to talk to. Also he'd be sharing a dorm room with Death Eaters! His parents tried not to bring up their children with prejudices but Albus hadn't failed to realise that most of Voldemort's followers were in Slytherin. He looked around the room, feeling a pang of jealousy. His family were chatting and laughing with each other, at ease in the knowledge they were Gryffindors.

"Welcome back! I hope you all had marvellous Christmases! Before we dig in to our glorious fest, I would like to introduce our new Defence Against The Dark Arts teacher, Professor Teddy Wolfson." Everyone politely applauded. "Also I would like to welcome eight new transfer students from a small school in America. They will now be sorted, please make them feel welcome." At this a series of whispers started up in the hall. It was almost unheard of for Hogwarts to take transfer students. Albus knew that there would be much speculation about them in the coming weeks.

"Granger, Hermione" called Professor McGonagall.

Albus gulped he was next.

"GRYFFINDOR!" The hat yelled.

"Porter, Albus."

Albus nervously made his way to the stool. He looked at the crowd and there they were his Grandfather, Sirius, Remus and the traitor Pettigrew. A couple of seats down was his grandmother, his eyes copied perfectly on to her face.

"Ah, a time traveller, a Slytherin,"

"Please, not Slytherin."

"Why ever not, I shouldn't go against my future self..."

"Please, Please,"

"Um…but it seems…yes it is quite obvious here you belong in…

GRYFFINDOR!"

Albus was beaming yes! He was a Gryffindor! It wasn't that he didn't like Slytherin but by the sounds of it, in this time period, they weren't people he'd want to be associating with.

He sat down next to his Aunt Hermione "well done Albus!" she said.

"Welcome to Gryffindor!" said his Grandfather.

"The best house!" said Sirius standing up and gesturing theatrically, Albus grinned and rolled his eyes.

"Congratulations!" said Remus shaking his hand.

"Yeah!" said Pettigrew, Albus tried not to scowl.

Harry Potters POV

"Porter, Harry."

Harry walked up to the stool and immediately began looking for his parents, there was his dad looking dreamily at his mum he smiled remembering earlier, of course he'd meet his farther in the middle of a prank he chuckled. His mood soured at the sight of the boy next to him, Pettigrew. He had to restrain himself from killing Pettigrew there and then. He's hasn't done anything wrong…yet. He kept saying in his head. He was just a stupid, overweight teenager, with very little amusing or intelligent things to say.

"Ah, another one from the future another difficult choice…." began the sorting hat. "Um…interesting…a Gryffindor in your time… but in this as well….what about Slytherin…"

"Not Slytherin."

"No? But you could be great you know…ah yes… it has to be…

GRYFFINDOR!" yelled the hat. Harry sighed in relief, walking over to the familiar table. He grinned when he saw the empty seat opposite Hermione, next to his father.

Whoa they really did look alike, identical, except the eyes. He looked down the table until he found his mother and saw his eyes copied onto her face.

"That's Lily Evans. Hot isn't she? Prongsie here has had a crush on her since first year," said Sirius gesturing next to him at James. Harry tried to keep the tears out of his eyes Sirius alive.

"Prongs – which is James by the way- has asked her out a million times but-"

"That's enough Pads" said James blushing slightly. He then turned to Harry, "congratulations, by the way. Wow, you really do look loads like me. Are we related?"

Sirius looked at Harry curiously."Yeah, you're from the future-"

"-Shhh!" hissed Hermione.

Ignoring her Sirius continued "Are you like James's son? Long lost twin that he will discover in seventh year?"

Harry fake laughed "somehow I think that's unlikely."

"So we're not related?" pressed James, he didn't look like he was entirely convinced. Harry could tell they were going to have a hard time keeping their identities from the Marauders.

"Not that I know of," lied Harry.

"GRYFFINDOR!" yelled the hat again.

"Da-Harry! James is in Gryffindor too!" grinned Albus, who had been quietly talking to Remus.

Harry clapped along with the rest of the table.

James sauntered over grinning and joined them at the table.

"Woah your even more of a Jamesie clone than these two!" exclaimed Sirius gesturing to Harry and Albus

"Apart from the glasses" added Remus.

They were right Harry realised this guy looked even more like his father than he did. It was like Harry was an artist's first attempt at a painting of James Potter and James Sirius Potter was the second better copy. Harry looked between them again trying to find the slightest difference. Their eyes he realised although both hazel, they were slightly differently shaped. He was pretty certain that Albus and James were relatives of his and he was quite jealous that James didn't seem to have inherited the awful Potter eyesight. His hazel eyes did look oddly familiar though, Harry just couldn't remember where he'd seen them before.

"Yeah... its kind of freaky" said James looking thoughtful.

"There are slight differences" said Albus who Harry realised had also been studying the pair curiously.

"Yeah I'm more handsome" said James ruffling up his hair.

"No way!" said James.

"Yes way!" said James

They went on like this until the last of the time travellers (Ron) was sorted in to Gryffindor.

"Well that's certainly interesting! I hope the Gryffindors will give a warm welcome to our new students. I would like to remind our younger students that the forbidden forest is strictly forbidden-some of our older students should know this as well!" Harry saw the Marauders all smirk at this. "Now, I believe you've all had to listen to my rambling long enough. Please, tuck in!"

"So what's the future like?" asked James.

Hermione glared at James and muttered "Muffito. Honestly we have to be careful!"

"It's good" said Lily "we go to Hogwarts there, so it's kind of weird seeing it now."

"I bet" said Sirius.

"Is Dumbledore still Headmaster?" asked Remus.

"Yes" said Ron and Ginny at the same time James, Fred and Lily said "no" Harry kept quiet not wanting to betray he wasn't really from his "brothers" time.

Hermione looked frustrated again. " We do really need to be careful how much information we give them. If we aren't careful, we could change our future and who can predict what consequences there would be!"

Sirius ignored her. "Why not?"

"I don't think we should say" Said Albus.

"He's dead isn't he?" Remus looked close to tears.

James, Fred, Albus and Lily sadly nodded.

"Do you know us in the future?" asked James.

"I bet we're epic" grinned Sirius.

"We don't know you," lied Harry. Remus looked at him not convinced.

"Oh" said Sirius, he seemed more keen than any if them to find out information about the future.

"Is Voldemort gone?" asked James

"Sorry, can't answer that one" said Fred.

"Oh come…" Sirius started.

"Hello," said someone interrupting them. Harry turned round and there standing right behind him was his mother.

"EVANS!" said James "Did I mention how beau-"

"Shut up Potter!" said Lily glaring at James.

"Hey! I thought a truce had been made thanks to these lovely badges," said James pulling his head badge from inside his robes.

"Sorry Pot-James maybe I would find it easier to remember if you actually wore the badge." James reluctantly pinned the shining head boy badge to his robes.

"Oh you're head boy" said James smirking mischievously. James seemed like a trouble maker. Harry was beginning to suspect that these kids could be well, his and possibly George's or Ron's maybe? God time travel was really weird. He knew he should be trying to not find out information about his own future but his curiosity was getting the better of him. He guessed his dad was probably feeling the same.

"We had no idea!" said Fred.

"Such an honour to speak to the head boy," James fanned his face.

"You must be a model student" said Fred grinning.

"Oh yes, he loves studying" said Remus smirking.

"Almost as much as he loves his fan club " said Sirius then he made his voice high pitched and girly. "You guys should soo join."

"Oooo yeah" said James and Fred in the same girly voice.

"You can't join, you don't love him enough!" said James and Fred to each other mock outraged.

"Yes I do" they both said.

James groaned and Fred and James burst out laughing along with the rest of them.

Lily seemed to be trying to hold back a smirk.

"Anyway I'm head girl and I wanted to welcome you to Hogwarts and to Gryffindor. If you have any problems or questions you can come to me...and James I suppose". She seemed reluctant to trust James with any kind of responsibility.

"Is there Quidditch at Hogwarts?" asked James. Harry saw Rose and Hermione roll their eyes, identical expressions on their faces that Harry had learnt from experience meant general frustration with men as a whole.

Harry saw Lily try not to sigh when James excitedly exclaimed "You play Quidditch?"

"Yeah, pretty much everyone in my family does!" said James matching James' excitement.

"What positions do you play?" said Sirius with equal excitement.

"Chaser" said James.

"Me Too!" said James and high fived him.

"Beater" said Fred.

"Same" said Sirius cheering and high fiveing Fred.

"Seeker" said Harry.

"I play a bit of seeker" said James smiling.

"Same!" said Lily "I play chaser and a bit of seeker" she said to the others questioning looks.

"Me too," said Ginny grinning "but only when Harry here falls off his broom." Harry laughed, she was right, Ginny always had his back nowadays.

James high fived both girls and gave Harry a questioning look.

"I fell off twice, once a house elf had jinxed a bludger to knock me off and the other time Dementors showed up."

Sirius shivered "Dementors or house elves, I don't know which are worse."

"You've had an eventful time of it," James exclaimed.

"Defiantly Dementors. In it's own weird way the house elf was trying to save my life", smiling at the inside joke Harry said "He's a good elf." Ron and Hermione grinned too.

"So what do the rest of you play?" said Sirius seeming to want to steer the conversation away from good elves. He was probably thinking of Kreacher.

"I play Seeker too" said Albus.

"I play keeper" said Ron.

"Me too," Hugo said quietly, the boy seemed very shy but Harry supposed it must be hard to get a word in sometimes.

"You guys should try out for the team!" said James.

"Yeah, we could do with some decent players." Said Sirius.

"Sirius!" exclaimed James.

"Just saying it how it is Prongs."

"Most of our team left end of last year" explained James "and the new recruits aren't the best."

"Well looks like you could do with some help then" said James.

"Which positions are open?" asked Albus.

"Pretty much all of them" said James "except a chaser and a Beater."

They all excitedly began talking about Quidditch.

"Hey guys" said Teddy the guy who was now a defence professor.

"Hey Teddy," said all the time travellers.

"How come you aren't at the teachers table?" asked Albus.

"Is Minnie your bff yet?" grinned James.

Teddy rolled his eyes and said "It's just so boring all they talk about is lessons and these students called the Marauders."

"ooooo they talk about us give me all the gossip."

James laughed "you girl."

Sirius pouted while Teddy continued "They said you're pranksters and I should watch out since they like to welcome new teachers." He was smirking. "I said they couldn't possibly be as bad as you two" he pointed at James and Fred grinning.

"You're pranksters? Do tell?" said James.

Next to him Lily rolled her eyes and sighed heavily.

While James and Fred were explaining a prank involving a princess wig, a fairy dress, a semi-permanent sticking charm and a very reluctant professor. Harry asked his mother quietly "You're not a big fan of pranks?"

"No, I like pranks its just the Marauders have a tendency to take things too far."

Then a loud pop went off in the room and the Huflepuffs suddenly grew black and white fur all over their bodies and their nose's turned into snouts. The Ravenclaws now had beaks and feathers all over their bodies. The Gryfindors had it easiest with just manes like lions. The teachers to their obvious displeasure had rainbow dyed hair and "I love the Marauders" written on their foreheads. The Slytherins had it worst though, they were bald with scales covering their bodies and their eyes were all a creepy yellow colour.

All the Marauders burst out laughing – being the only ones not affected by the spell. The time travellers soon joined them.

"That was epic-" said James.

"Awesome-" said Fred.

"Amazing," they both said.

"Yeah it was great!" said Teddy he picked up a goblet seemed to admire his hair in it then changed it into a turquoise colour.

Sirius then said what everyone – from his time – seemed to be thinking "You're a Metamorphmagus!"

"A Meta-what?" asked James.

"A Metamorphmagus Prongs, it means you can change you appearance at will, my baby cousins one." Tonks, Harry thought then grinned to himself, considering the way Teddy acted around Remus, Harry wouldn't be surprised if this man was their son.

"Your cousin?" asked Teddy, a weird expression on his face.

"Yeah Nymphadora Tonks, she's 2, one of the great disowned blacks."

"Disowned?" asked Lily.

"Yep my dear mother loves to disown people. She a pureblood fanatic, the bitch, so when Andy married a muggle-born man, they disowned her just like me."

"What did you get disowned for?" asked Lily her curiosity seeming to get the better of her.

"For running away from that hell hole." There was pain in his godfather's eye and Harry wondered if perhaps he and his godfather's childhoods had been more similar than he'd previously thought.

"Oh-" started Lily but then he was interrupted by Professor McGonagall's angry shout of "POTTER, BLACK, LUPIN, PETTIGREW!"

Wow! This chapter is my longest by far! Harry is starting to suspect Albus and James' true identities. Let me know what you think of the revised chapters in a review. 10/5/20

Ok guys I am really sorry I keep promising that there will be a explanation for why Hermione has the time turner but it really just wouldn't fit in this chapter. It will probably be in the next one. I'm not quite sure where to take this story next should it be a simple the potters and Teddy get to meet there parents/grandparent fic or should it be a changing the future fic?

Although if it is a changing the future fic, James and Lily will not be saved, not because I don't love them but because their deaths are too important.

Anyway please REVIEW.
