Another revised chapter! If you're confused about any of the changes have a read of the authors note at the bottom of this chapter. 10/5/2020

Hey so it's been awhile hasn't it? If I still have any readers let your all probably wishing me a slow and very painful death I have no excuse for the amount of time its taken for me to update so I won't waste our time making any up.

Remember:

1st gen: bold

3rd gen: normal.

James Sirius Potter POV

"Welcome to the Gryffindor common room!" said James and Sirius making grand hand gestures.

James grinned as he looked around the comfortingly familiar room, it hadn't changed a bit…no… wouldn't change a bit, it was eerie looking around the room at the parents and grandparents of his school friends…at the people who wouldn't make it. He noticed a young Alice Longbottom laughing with a group of seventh year girls in the corner so innocent, so naïve, unaware that in just four years all that made her… her would be stripped from her by a group of maniacs. Who may even be residing in this very same school?

"Hey James clone, what's got you so down?" asked Sirius noticing the expression on James's face.

James turned to Sirius another innocent who would die after years of being imprisoned, who would have years of his life taken from him… and said simply "People die in wars."

He then walked off up the stairs to the dormitory labelled sixth year boys and transfer students.

Harry Potter POV

"People die in wars." Harry heard James say.

"What does he mean by that?" asked Sirius.

Leaving the others to answer the difficult questions Harry followed James's retreating back.

James Sirius Potter

James sat down on one of the beds. It wasn't fair. Why did his father have to lose so many people he cared about? Why couldn't it be someone else? His dad was a good person he didn't deserve what happened to him.

"Hey… err… you ok?" he heard an awkward voice say from the doorway, it was his father.

"Yeah it's just…meeting dead people… bit depressing. Don't you think?"

Harry smiled a sad smile "Yeah but it's nice to meet them, to have a chance to know them."

James nodded "Yeah it is. Merlin why am I the one moping? You're the one who just met your dead parents."

"In the future…" his father started but hesitated as if he didn't want to know the answer to the question he was about to ask. He carried on regardless. "Remus…he's dead, isn't he?"

"How did you know?" asked James quietly.

"Teddy. The way he looks at Remus…I'm pretty sure it's the same way I'm looking at my parents." Harry looked sadly in to his lap for a moment. "At least all the Marauders are together."

"I want to save them," said James determinedly.

Albus POV

Dam James and his big mouth! Thought Albus as Sirius and the other Marauders stared at him and his companions demanding an answer. Thankfully Hermione came to their rescue. "No war is without deaths, and sadly not everyone in this room survives."

"But what about us?" asked James "Pads, Moony, Wormy, Lils and I?"

"I'm sorry we can't tell you." Said Albus.

"So some of us do die," Remus deduced at the time travellers shocked looks he added " if we all survived there would be nothing to tell."

"So who dies?" asked Sirius desperately.

"I'm sorry so sorry but we really can't tell you. It might put our futures in to jeopardy," said Lily regretfully.

Sirius opened his mouth to speak again. But Remus silenced him "We understand."

"Thank you," the time travellers said. With that everyone walked upstairs to the dormitories.

Harry's POV

Harry's first reaction was shock. He'd never considered the possibility that he could save them. But he could! Mum, Dad, Sirius and Remus he could save all of them! But then he thought something that sent him crashing down to reality.

"We can't save my parents," he said quietly feeling like the worst son ever, "if we do Voldemort will have 13 (A/N is it 13? If I'm wrong put it in a review please!) more years in power, hundreds more people could die."

James nodded submissively. "But Uncle Pads and Uncle Moony, We can save them right?"

Harry nodded.

Then the door crashed open and the marauders, Fred, Ron, Hugo and Albus piled inside.

Fred looked like Christmas had come early as he teased Albus and Ron. The Marauders we huddled together whispering quietly. Hugo followed them looking content to observe the chaos around him. Harry went to rescue Ron.

"Don't you love spiders Al? Especially Tarantulas their eight massive, hairy legs… eight red piercing eyes and of course the pincers," Fred made pincer shapes with his hands and surprisingly accurate pincer sounds with his mouth. Then he grinned and said "I might even have one in my pocket!" he rummaged in his cloak – which looked as lumpy as Hagrid's – and pulled out… a teddy bear? "Oh its just mister cuddles I must have left princess at home."

Princess? Harry thought, his nephew had a Tarantula called princess…well at least he knew Hagrid made it through the war.

Fred had now turned to a shaking Ron "here Ron take mister cuddles," he said holding out the teddy. Ron took it and it promptly turned in to a spider. Ron screamed while the whole room burst in to laughter. Harry had to suppress a snigger. "Come on Fred turn it back now." He said.

"C-Can't" said a laughing Fred "I-it's o-on a t-timer!" he laughed.

About a minute later the spider turned back in to a Teddy bear.

"Where the hell did you get that… thing!" Ron exclaimed.

"Weasley's Wizard Wheezes – the little brothers range." Fred's voice changed in to an announcers voice. "Do you have an annoying, irritating, younger brother? Does he need a good fright? Come to Weasley Wizard Wheezes TODAY to look at our little brother's range!"

"Weasley's Wizard Wheezes? What's that?" asked James.

"Only the greatest joke shop in the world!" exclaimed James and Fred.

"By Jove Georgie old boy we do it!" exclaimed a voice from the doorway.

"Why Fredrick I do believe we do!"

Harry and everyone else turned to the doorway.

Standing there in all their identical prankster glory were the Weasley twins!

Reminder! Hugo and Rose exist! (seems I forgot about them the first time around). The third gen are from 2020. The second gen do not know the third gen's identity. 10/5/2020

Sorry its not that long but I just had to end it there. I love cliffhangers. I know I'm evil. I promise the next chapter will come sooner.

Spoilers for next chap:

My least favourite character (has anyone figured out who that is yet?) and one of my favourite characters will be pranked.

A plot to rescue Moony from the horror of facing the full moon will be deciphered.

And with that my dear readers I leave you with one word:
