It turns out the chapters I had a beta for are a lot easier to revise. Thanks Evilpinkcupcake! Hope you all enjoy this slightly adapted new chapter. 10/5/20
Hi guys I'm so so sorry it took so long for me to update I got a new computer for my birthday so updates should speed up from now on. I'm afraid this chapter is unbetad because I wanted to get it up, the betad version should be up in a few days. Also Ginny and Harry's POV's are happening at the same time as Teddy, James and James's POV's. Remember:
1st gen with same name as 3rd gen
3rd gen with same name as 1st

"What's a furry little problem?" asked Fred.
"Um well.." Sirius trailed off awkwardly.
"You see.." started Remus convincingly.
"It's his rabbit," interrupted James "old Flopsey is a bit too much for his mum to handle so every now and then Remmy goes home to help with him."
James and Fred didn't trust themselves to talk, so they just nodded, trying not to burst into laughter.
James 1st POV
The Marauders watched the pair with suspicious eyes.
"They don't believe us," said Remus.
"You sure?" Said Peter.
"Of course he is, Jaimsekins told them a crazy story and they barely questioned it." Said Sirius rolling his eyes.
"Do you think they know?" said Remus quietly. James could tell he was scared of what these strangers could find out and how they would react. He knew Remus worried about his secret getting out.
"They can't!" exclaimed Sirius "They've only been here a day!"
"Maybe they found out in the future." Said Remus.
"But they said they didn't know us." Said James.
"I bet they were lying!" said Sirius.
James shrugged"they seem alright to me."
"They were lying" said Remus,
"about what?" asked James.
Remus leaned in closer "I think they were lying about knowing us in the future. I mean James, Albus and Harry Porter, doesn't that sound a awful lot like Potter."
"That doesn't mean anything just because their surname sounds a little like mine doesn't mean we're related, that's mad!" exclaimed James.
"They all look like your clones prongs!" said Sirius.
"I'd know…"
"You wouldn't know, they're from the future." Said Remus.
"Yeah their probably your kids Prongs!" Joked Sirius.
"Actually that could explain a lot" said Remus "but if they're from 2020 it's probably more likely they're your grandkids."
"WHAT, I'm too young to be a grandpa!"
"Well you're not yet." Said Remus, amused.
"Unless there's something you're not telling us Prongs" Grinned Sirius waggling his eyebrows suggestively.
"Harry came with the 1996 people he could be James's son." Said Peter.
"Wormtail…" groaned James.
"Yep, so Harry's Prongs's son, James and Albus are his grandkids, I wonder who the mothers are." Said Sirius.
"That's ridiculous, a few kids come from the future who look a bit like me and automatically they're my Kids?" said James.
"Your right Prongs, we need proof" said Remus.
"The Map!" exclaimed Sirius.
"What?" asked James confused.
"If they're lying about their names it will say their real ones on the map!" said Sirius.
"Genius Padfoot!" exclaimed James reaching for his back pocket. He turned back to his friends with a look of horror. "The maps gone!"
"WHAT!"
Teddy's POV
Teddy almost sighed in relief as he tucked the map safely in his inside pocket.
"What you got there Teddy?" asked Albus approaching them with Lily, Rose and Hugo.
"Dam that kids just too observant" thought Teddy before casting a muffito charm and whispering "the map, I saw it poking out your grandpa's pocket and realised that it could give us away so I nicked it."
"But won't Grandpa Prongs, uncle Padfoot and your dad be really upset?" asked Lily.
Teddy sighed despite the thrill that went through him every time his father was mentioned he hated lying to him. "Yes but there's nothing we can do about it really."
Rose looked at Teddy approvingly, "good thinking Teddy. That would have ruined everything."
Lily nodded and Teddy took off the Muffliato charm.
"Do my eyes deceive me?" said James, coming towards them with Fred, his eyes fixed on the map in Teddy's pocket.
Teddy sighed and put up another Muffliato charm.
"Is that the original Marauder's Map in all its youth and glory?" asked Fred.
Teddy reluctantly nodded.
"So you my dear godbrother have deprived our noble predecessors-"started James.
"-The greatest pranksters to ever grace the halls of Hogwarts-" continued Fred.
"-Of their greatest weapon in mischief making-"
"-Whilst we have the chance to observe their work-"
"-One of them being your own father?" finished James slightly harshly.
"Hey! Don't bring his Dad in to this! He did it so we wouldn't be found out!" exclaimed Hugo. The usually quiet boy kindly standing up for his cousin. Hugo was always frustrated by things he saw to be insensitive or unkind.
"That was nasty Jamie," added Lily.
"Sorry Ted, but I don't see why we can't tell them!"
"Because it could change the future!" exclaimed Albus.
"Is that such a bad thing! We could save their lives!"
"No."
"Since when were you the boss of me? Little brother." Said James in a deadly quiet voice.
(A/N I thought about ending it here but I wanted to give you a nice long chapter.)
"James, Al stop it," said Teddy "James, we need to be careful if we handle this wrong it could end in one or all of us not existing. But Al you need to remember that…" Teddy trailed if seeming deep in thought "for a lot of us it's very…tempting to tell."
"Sorry Al" muttered James.
"Sorry James" muttered Albus "sorry Teddy" he added with more compassion "I forgot how hard this must be for you. Are you alright?"
"I'm alright," lied Teddy "I hope dad doesn't find out about the map. I don't want him to hate me." He said vulnerably.
Lily hugged him saying "he won't hate you you're awesome!"
"Coolest grown up I know," added Fred.
"You did the right thing," Hugo smiled.
"He'll understand why you had to take it," said Albus.
"He'll love you." Said James Stubbornly.
Teddy smiled thankfully, glad they were there.
Harry's POV
Harry's heart was pounding and his mind was racing. He'd met his parents! He looked at his father drinking in his image hungrily, he was talking to Sirius, Remus and Pettigrew unaware he would be dead in four years, unaware that one of his best friends would join the death eaters and betray him. He felt like running up to him and warning him, yelling at him not to trust Pettigrew. But he knew he couldn't, that could seriously screw up the future and his future looked good. Maybe he even …no he couldn't think like that…not until he was sure.
He tore his eyes away from the marauders and looked at his mother he couldn't wait to talk to her, get to know her. He knew almost nothing about her. Sirius and Remus had told him a bit about his dad, but almost nothing about his mum. She was beautiful he decided, she also struck him as rather rule abiding. He wondered if she would show the temper he'd seen in Snape's memory. Snape, Snape was here too! Teenage Snape weird…
"Why the hell do you have a bloody time turner Hermione!?" Asked Ron.
"Well I was doing some extra charms with Fitwick, we did some experiments and it was just so interesting we found we didn't have enough time around my NEWTS so Fitwick lent me his time turner."
"But where did he get it? They were all destroyed!"
"Only the ones at the Ministry. Honestly Ronald."
"So any idea on how the bloody hell we get back!"
"I don't know we'll just have to wait for Dumbledore to figure it out. Of course we can do some of our own research. Even if time travel hasn't been invented yet I'm sure there is some books on the theory in the library."
"We can start tomorrow then." Said Harry.
Ginny's Pov
Ginny was walking through the halls of Hogwarts, it looked surprisingly similar to the Hogwarts of her time. Lily was being extremely nice and welcoming, and for any new student they'd be grateful for the information Lily was giving them and Ginny was grateful for the gesture. But the thing was Ginny wasn't a new student, so she couldn't help but be extremely bored and decided to make things more interesting.
"So what do you think of James, Sirius and Remus, they seem nice." Said Ginny.
"Yeah Remus is nice." Ginny noticed she'd left the other Marauders out and thought that maybe Lily didn't approve of their brash, mischievous nature. They were a little arrogant too Ginny thought.
"What about James and Sirius?"
"Well Sirius is nice once you get to know him."
"And James?" asked Ginny.
"James has been trying to get me to go out with him since first year," Lily deadpanned.
"Oh how come you haven't gone out yet?" asked Ginny trying to sound innocent.
"Because he's an arrogant toe rag." Started Lily going on to give Ginny an extremely long rant on how annoying James Potter was.
Yep thought Ginny she's totally falling for him.
