Harry stared into a reflection of his own eyes, thinking very fast.

My mother just appeared… in a flash of light… onto me

Only Harry seemed to have grasped who these people were.

"Who the bloody hell are you?" yelled Ron who had a blond boy fall onto him was a big contrast to Sirius' question to the hazel eyed brunette he had fallen on.

"Hey beautiful, what's your name?"

Alyssa promptly threw Sirius off her lap and onto the sand

"Hey" Sirius whined looking around "What happened to the airport?"

"What airport?" Alyssa replied "Sorry, this is Wanda Beach, Australia; not an airport"

"Well at least we're still in the right country, eh, Prongs"

"Prongs" whispered Harry

"Yeah, know of me? Because I don't recognize you"

By this time everyone was standing in two groups, present against past.

"Calm down" consoled Remus "This is our story; we got off a plane and fell through something, all I felt was rushing wind and blackness before we fell on you"

"Ok" said Hermione "What are your names?"

"I already know" said Harry

"What?" asked both groups.

"James Potter, Lily Evans, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, Am I right?" A few nods of agreement "I recognize you from the photos"

"This isn't right!" sighed Hermione

"What's not right?" asked Lily

"The fact that you are currently 20 years in the future"

Peter passed out and the rest covered their mouths.

"Then" stuttered Sirius "Who are you?"

"Hermione Granger"

"Ron Weasley"

"Ginny Weasley"

"Alyssa Raepan"

"Harry Potter" Harry sighed

"That explains the resemblance" Remus smiled examining Harry's messy hair "You look just like James-"

"- except with Lily's eyes. I get that a lot"

"We'll have to contact Dumbledore"

"I know"

"You guys have your stuff?" asked Alyssa

"Yeah" squeaked Peter pointing to the neatly landed trolley.

"My holiday house is just over there. I'm an exchange student at Hogwarts, we're on holidays"

"Let me" Sirius took the trolley from her and levitated it into the house.

Dumbledore was fire called and came immediately.

"Here is a sight I thought I'd never see again. I had a look into a book and it seems you have fallen through a time trap, in any case welcome to the current day. Time traps are very difficult things and until such time as I can fix this problem, you will have to stay here. Have you the room Miss Raepan?"

"Of course Professor"

"I must be off then. Harry, do keep in contact with your godfather and your Defense against the Dark Arts Professor I do believe they would find this situation most interesting. But do remember any information given could change events forever."

"But…" Lily started, but the Headmaster had gone.

"Dumbledore is always going to be like that" Remus consoled her

"Well then" Alyssa said officially "Girls up that stair case, boys that one. My friends arrive tonight, so get unpacked."

"Friends?" asked Remus

"Girls from my dorm at the magic school here"

"Oh"

"I'm so confused" Sirius moaned

"Me and you alike" said Ginny

"I can't believe it" said James "I have a son! With Lily!"

Lily smiled happily and went over and to everyone's surprise hugged Harry. Harry was smiling sadly when they broke apart.

"Well I don't know about you but I want to go swimming" said Ginny

"Sounds like a good idea, I'm in"

They all agreed a swim to wake them up would be perfect so they all changed and went downstairs. All the girls were dressed in bikinis and board shorts, Sirius quietly thought that his was more a good thing than bad.

Lily's bikini was green, Ginny's was patterned brightly, Hermione's was baby blue with white stripes and Alyssa's was white with a frangipani flower of one breast. Sirius himself compared them to the boys who were just wearing plain board shorts of various colours and felt plain. Remus of course wore a long sleeved top, to hide the scars of his lycanthropy.

"Are we going or not? Or are you boys going to ogle us for the next hour?" asked Ginny, Sirius was reminded of Lily oh well like father like son.

With that the boys snapped out of it and raced to the surf.

Alyssa smiled letting the surf wash over her ankles, this was her home.

SPLASH she had been hit with a splash of water from Ginny.

"Your in for it now missy!" Then a war between the two ensued, Both were soaked when one of Alyssa's shots went astray and hit Sirius drenching his black lots.

"Oh no" said James dramatically "You wet Sirius' hair! RUN!"

Alyssa didn't need telling twice… she ran. Sirius tore after her. They made there way around the beach Alyssa hiding behind Ron at one point until Ron who didn't want to get involved stepped out of the way. Sirius being the male and a lot faster than Alyssa he soon caught up with her as she dashed from the water. He lunged for her and managed to catch her around the waist forcing them both to the ground.

"Sirius, get off" she tried to break his grip

"Uh uh, you are not going anywhere until you pay for your transgressions"

"How exactly am I meant to pay? I'm already wet"

Sirius gave her a sly smile, yes he already knew that the dry bits of his body were being soaked by the water which covered her warm skin as he pinned the brunette to the sand. He moved his head towards hers-

SPLASH

A wave had washed dousing the both of then and allowing Alyssa to escape, good thing too she wasn't eager to kiss a boy she hardly knew.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" a familiar voice laughed, Alyssa spun around and their stood her four friends.

"I'd hug you but you'd be soaked" she replied to the girl who had spoken. The girl had short brown hair which flicked up at the bottom and green eyes rimmed with blue around the middle and edges. She was taller than Alyssa and had a slimmer build. She introduced herself as Holly

On her right was a Cheryl a black haired Asian girl with large soft brown eyes. Her hair was just long enough to put into a short ponytail at the back. Her black hair was also very fine but thick. She was one of the shortest there.

Next to her was Bethany. Bethany was a robust short girl with dark brown hair. She looked fairly sporty and had a beautiful smile. Her eyes were green with a bit of a brown tint.

The other girl on Holly's other side was Elizabeth or more commonly known as Schlen.

Schlen was a bushy redhead, with deep chestnut brown eyes. She was tall, even more so than Holly. Her hair was in a nice way had the consistency of Hermione's but the colour of Ginny's or Lily's.

Ron looked up to study the girls and nearly dropped the handful of sand he'd been holding. He had looked up directly into Holly's face, she was beautiful but as he studied her face she also looked sad. He made a promise to himself that he'd find out why she was so miserable. He couldn't help but study her; it was if there was a glow around her, she was just so beautiful; it was love at first sight. Ron nearly hit himself, what sort of person believed in such things.

"Ron really the mouth open is not an attractive look" scolded Ginny

Ron shut his mouth immediately and turned bright red which clashed horribly with his hair.

"You do that too!" exclaimed Lily "I hate it when I blush!"

"I know" said Ginny exasperatedly "What about you Schlen?"

"All the time"

"We should form a group" smiled Lily

"REDHEADS UNITED!" spluttered the still embarrassed Ron

"Betcha like that, Holly" sniggered Alyssa

It was Holly's turn to blush. "What?" inquired Ron.

"Oh, Holly has always had a thing for redheads" smiled Schlen

Ron felt his hope soar and he had to stop himself from grinning, after all Holly could hate him for all he knew. He inwardly grimaced she already properly thought he was a bit odd considering the way he was acting. As they walked up to the house Harry fell back into step with him.

"Someone has it bad for one of the new girls"

"Don't"

"It was damn obvious that you do"

"Don't"

"Its Holly isn't it"

"Isn't"

"Mate, you're in denial"

"NOT!"

"And the one word answers is a dead giveaway"

Ron stormed off, prepared to ignore Harry, unless he grew up. He slumped down on the couch angrily and buried his face in a remarkably sweet smelling pillow.

By the time the gaggle of girls reached the house the 'newbies' had been informed on what was with all the extra people and knew not to give any information about future events to any of the Marauders or Lily.

The sun was slowly setting on the horizon sending golden rays into the sitting room where they all sat chatting and gave a holy (not HOLLY) appearance to them all, defining their good features.

With the current awkward silence James had an idea.

"Let's play truth or dare!" Lily glared at him "What? It'll help us get to know each other"

They all agreed to play the game; Lily, Alyssa and Holly were a little hesitant at first but agreed under 3 rules:

No stripping

No same sex kissing

No sexually explicit acts e.g. lap dancing or the like

The boys whined a little but agreed because it wouldn't be as fun without them.

"Since it was my idea" declared James "I reserve the right to start but I pass to Harry, my son" He said ever so proudly

"Kinda like an immediate inheritance"

"Padfoot!"

"Ron, Truth or Dare"

"Dare"

"Dare you to kiss Holly"

Ron glared at Harry, he had only just met this girl and Harry had to go and stick his nose into it. He might have even liked her and there Harry goes and ruins it. He stared at his best friend who had a crooked grin on his face which Ron now saw that he shared with his father. Ron got up and went over to Holly; the kiss was brief but sweet.

Holly cringed at the announcement she'd have to kiss Ron but never the less completed the dare. She felt the longing inside her, she missed it so much… but she wasn't ever going to be hurt again.

"Holly, your turn"

"Sirius" She smiled at the boy or more rightly so, man, who Alyssa had been frolicking with earlier, now was payback for the redhead comment, "Truth or Dare?"

"Dare"

Men were so predictable.

"I dare you to spend the night in the same bed with Alyssa… completely platonically, mind you"

Uproar

"What!" roared Alyssa

"Well I guess that works, its not sexually explicit or anything"

"But Black?"

Sirius sniggered "I'll enjoy this!"

"Ugh!"

"My turn…My turn….Remus; Truth or Dare?"

"Truth"

"What was your first crush?"

"Lily, during my first couple of years at Hogwarts"

Both he and Lily blushed profusely, though James looked furious and Harry affronted. Then Harry started to laugh which affectively broke up the tension between everyone and brought the relaxed state back.

"Ok, Remus?"

"What's her name?... uh… Cheryl, truth or dare?"

"Truthers are sissies!"

"Shut it Padfoot"

"Dare, then"

"Dare you to… spend a platonic night with… uh… Harry!"

"That's sabotage Moony, getting to me via my family!"

"It's diabolic" mused Peter "I like it"

Hermione glared at Peter making him severely uncomfortable.

"Ok" said Bethany, "Continuing on"

"Yes, Schlen, truth or dare?"

"Truth"

"Who is the cutest guy in this room?"

"No offence to anyone, but Remus"

Sirius looked offended "But I'm the one who has the fan club"

"Uh, Harry has a fan club too" said Ron

"So do I!" said James

"Enough fan club war-ing!" hollered Alyssa over the top of everyone

"I agree" Holly said "We don't care about fan clubs"

"It's kind of late anyway" said Lily "Bed all!"

As everyone went to get changed Lily held Remus back "I know you have a camera and I want plenty of shots of Sirius and Alyssa. Especially cute ones"

"Why do I get the feeling this is blackmail?"

"Can I help?"

Holly had come down the stairs to get her jacket which she had left behind. Bethany was with her.

"I have a camera and I'd love to get something on Alyssa and Cheryl" said Holly

"Well since Sirius and Alyssa are in the boys room and Cheryl and Harry are in the girl's this might just work perfectly"

"I agree" Bethany sniggered

"But you have to do it without them seeing it"

"Disillusion charm, they won't be able to tell the difference"

"Perfect"

"Troops off then, meet back here at sunrise" demanded Lily and they all left.
