Chapter two: The Truth

"So, James marries Evans, who would have thought…" Remus said thoughtfully.

"Yes, although that is not really the point. What we need to figure out is how to get you back to your proper place in time. Having you three disappear in time with cause terrible things to happen to our time."

"Professor, we didn't do anything that big did we?"

"Oh, Remus, but you did," Dumbledore's eye's sparkled like always as he looked at the young boys.

"Really?" Sirius said happily, "Can you tell us?"

"In time, Sirius, but first, until we find out how to get you back, you will be staying here, you will pretend to be transfer students that were sorted into Gryffindor, may I ask your year?"

"We're in sixth year, Professor."

"Dumbledore nodded, his eyes shone, "Same as Harry and his friends, that works out wonderfully."

Sirius randomly decided to snap James out of dream world, a nice jab in the ribs worked fine. James mumbled annoyingly at Sirius, but listened to what was being said no the less.

"Now, keeping your old name would be troublesome, so why you are here you must have fake names, the only time you will be allowed to call each other by your real names is when you are a lone, or in the presence of Harry, Sakura, or their other friends; Ron and Hermione."

"I can tell them, professor?" Harry asked excitedly.

"Yes, you may, Harry." He smiled at the old professor respectfully.

"Excuse me, professor, but could you tell us why our futures are so important that we must change your names and hide our identities?" James asked.

"I guess so, you will all take a strong memory potion, anyway, so that you do not remember what you have learned."

"Can I tell them, Professor?" Harry asked. Dumbledore nodded, Harry proceeded to tell the Marauders their horrible fates. "I'll start with Remus. Remus you were you DADA teach in my third year, as Dumbledore said, but you left at the end of the year because of something horrible that the entire school found out about," The Marauders didn't need to ask what the horrible thing was, they already knew.

"Sirius, you were my Godfather, "Sirius smiled at James. "I met you in my third year, at first I didn't like you because I thought you were out to kill me, but when I learnt you weren't we became very close. "But you died last year because of your cousin, she killed you." Harry paused, he had never really gotten over Sirius' death, "You fell threw the Veil in the Department of Mysteries, located in the Ministry of Magic." Sirius didn't say anything, "But you died a noble cause, you were fighting on the side ageist Voldemort." Sirius only nodded.

It was to much for the young Sirius Black, it was never an easy thing, finding out when and how you were going to die. The only comforting thing was he knew that he was fighting ageist Voldemort, not with him. He did wonder why Harry thought he had wanted to kill him. Sirius would never kill James' son, or anyone close to him. He also couldn't help but wander why he had met Harry in his third year. Did James and him have some big fight or something? That led to them never speaking to each other? And the same for Remus, he couldn't imagine the Marauders splitting up. Peter, maybe, but James, Remus, and him? No, it was crazy! Some big must have happened, something they would never be able to imagine, yes, that must be it. But it must really be big; I mean, come on, what could break up the Marauders! Voldemort was still around; nothing else made sense, but at least that did.

Now came the best thing to be said, although the Marauders didn't know it. It was time to tell James his fate. He was the reason everything went wrong, and none of them knew that. That all the Marauders would fall apart, one by one, after James' death. That a friendship meant to last forever would crumble in the span for an hour. One a traitor, one dead, one a false murder, one left alone. To live his life wandering about how Sirius could have killed James, when it was really all Peter. And Sirius would spend twelve years in Azkaban, for something he never did, nor would he ever dream of doing.

Harry sighed, he could bare to tell Sirius about Azkaban, his face, so young and happy. Well, right now it wasn't, but it would come back, his smile, something Harry had rarely seen on the older Sirius' face. If Sirius ever found out... well, Harry didn't know what he would do, he just hoped that day would never come.

"James… you are not... not… alive." There he'd said it.

The Marauders stared at him in disbelief. None of them wanted to believe it, James dead. It was to much, First Sirius, now James… Remus realized that he would be without his two best friends. He would have Peter, but it wasn't enough, he had never been that close with Peter, for some reason. The Marauders were silent, they all had so many questions to ask, but no one could dare to speak.

James was scared, scared and worried. Scared for himself, scared for Lily, and scared for Harry. He didn't know how long he had been dead, but the Harry acted around him was strange. was so happy about meaning his dad, and he seemed to know so little about the Marauders. James wandered why he had never told Harry about his school days. James also wandered what had happened between him, Remus, and Sirius. James had also noticed that Harry didn't mention Peter. Perhaps he was dead too, James wouldn't be surprised. Peter was never the bravest or the strongest, or the smartest, but he was a good friend, none the less. James also wandered about Lily, they were in their sixth year, and she still hated him. He guessed that Lily took care of Harry, now that he was dead. It was a comforting thought, though, to know that his son was in Lily's care.

"Voldemort killed you, you and Lily..." Harry said after a few minutes. He was saying everything slowly, letting the Marauders let everything sink in before giving them more information. He stopped once more, he knew this bit of information would be hardest for James to take in. He was right.

This made James feel worse. It had helped him feel better that Harry was in Lily's care. But now Lily was dead too. Poor Harry, he was parentless! Where did he live? Who did he live with? Remus? Yes, it would be Remus… James had no other relatives, so no one he could live with there. And Lily... he didn't know much about Lily's family. He knew she had a sister, but she hated Witches and Wizards. Dumbledore would never let Harry live with someone like that. Would he?

James nodded, he couldn't say a word, neither could the other Marauders.

"Dad, James… I'm sorry you had to hear it.." Harry said about fifteen minutes later, "It's not easy to find out that people are dead, or how they died, I know, I've been there."

"Who?" Was the only word James could say, he wanted to learn as much about his son as he could.

"There was a Hufflepuff in my fourth year, Cedric Diggory, he died because of me," Harry paused as the tears came, he could see Cedric's face so clearly in his mind, both smiling, and the moment after Wormtail had killed him. "Voldemort had him killed, because he was only after me… I was the one he needed to be revived, not Cedric. I was also there when Sirius was killed..."

"Why did Voldemort want you?" Remus asked quietly. He had finally found the strength to speak.

"And what do you mean, revived?" Sirius said, he had also managed to speak.

Harry was silent. Dumbledore decided that he should tell the story of Voldemort's decline, although it was much less detailed. He just talked about that Voldemort killed James and Lily, how Lily saved Harry, and how Harry got his scar. He then proceeded to tell the Marauders that Voldemort had come back two years ago. He didn't say much more then that.

By the time all the explanations were done it had been over an hour sense the Marauders had first appeared. Professor Snape had long sense left, he left sometime around Harry telling Remus his future. He had said something about lesson plans for tomorrow. Besides the explanations, the Marauders had also been given around a half-an-hour to get over the shock of their futures. So, their total time of being in Professor McGonagall's office totaled about and hour and a half.

"James, Sirius, Remus, what would you like your face names to be?" Dumbledore asked the three time travelers. "Oh, and, Sirius, Remus you two will have to change your first names why you're here also, Sirius and Remus are not very common names. But, James you may keep yours." The Marauders were silent for a few more minutes as they thought of names.

"James Prongsten?" James asked, Dumbledore said that would be a fine name to have.

"I'll be uh Simon Thompson." Sirius said. Dumbledore Okayed that name also.

"And I will be Tommy Walden!" Remus said, last of the Marauders. Dumbledore agreed to that name also.

The students stood up and, after goodnight to their Professors, left for Gryffindor Tower.

They decided to have a little 'side trip' to the kitchens, they had missed Dinner after all. So they five-some went to the kitchens, and ate a plentiful dinner. It was so plentiful, that it took a LONG time to eat it. So much later the Marauders, Harry, and Sakura walked up to the Gryffindor Tower. By the time they reached the Common room it was nearly 10:00. They walked in to find Ron and Hermione sitting by the fire place, they were the only one a wake. When the two saw them they ran over and demanded to be told everything. Sakura took on the role of storyteller and told them everything that had happened.

Ron and Hermione said they would turn in, after explaining that the picture of the Gryffindor Lion was now the Marauders' room. Dumbledore had come in and done it for them. The Marauders went to their room. They had been mostly silent all night, only a goodnight here, or a word there. They were still in shock from what they had heard earlier. Harry and the other three all agreed that the Marauders would be more like themselves after they slept on it. So, with that done, each of the remaining four went of his or her own bed, in which they all fell asleep instantly.

Unknowingly to them, the Marauders didn't fall asleep to well around midnight, they spend the time talking, talking about anything and everything. From How Hogwarts had changed, their lives, or Remus' because he was the only one living, and even how lonely their Hogwarts would be while they would be gone.

After the Marauders some how managed to fall asleep they had nice dreams. They included things such as pranks, and ways to torture Snaoe, now that he was a teacher. Although they didn't know it, each Marauder knew that they would have a fun time here, with James' son, Harry, and his friends.
