The Shattered Remains…

Chapter 2: Different places

Hermione had finally woken up. Luan found herself staring at the girl with bushy brown hair. Sirius looked around the room, sad that Rosie had once again been thrown into another dimension while she was supposed to be kissing him. James smacked Sirius, "she's gone."

"But-but, I need her!" cried Sirius in exasperation. "How will she live without me?" James smacked Sirius again, and Sirius snapped out of his drama state.

"I am sure she can manage a few minutes without snogging you," James rolled his eyes. "I'm not sure that you can, but that's beside the point."

"Hey!" Sirius yelled. "Just because Lily still won't go out with you, and you haven't snog for this reason, doesn't mean the rest of us have to suffer!"

[This led to a number of offensive swear words that shall not be repeated. If you must know, just think of a few words that your mother would smack you if you said them.

Ron yelled "stop" and the two best friends looked up. "Oh yah, you are Arthur's son; just as odd as he is to. He never was right after he went into muggle-studies."

Ron went a delicate shade of red and began to stutter, "well-um…he's actually-well."

Sirius and James exchanged looks of "what-IS-wrong-with-this-kid" before turning away from each other to refrain from entering a mad laughing fit. Hermione and Luan found themselves looking at the three boys with appalled looks sketched across their stunned faces. The two girls then exchanged looks of "what-IS-wrong-with-these-guys" before turning away as well; though it wasn't apparent if they were refraining from crying or laughing.

Catherine, Remus and Peter all stared at each other while Lily P. and James Jr. exchanged shrugs. Ginny looked around in dismay, "it looks like I am still stuck with people who I don't currently know, and don't know me. Oh-well." With that Ginny returned to her book, the rest thinking that she was a very unsocial person.

"Can you believe that we are in the time of our grandparents and that look like us?" asked James. "To bad we still don't get to meet them."

Lily smiled, "yah, but we get to be them! I think that's better."

"What do you think the deal with the hour-glass picture is anyways?" James asked, looking eagerly around the room. "Not much has really changed in the last forty years."

Ginny looked up with mild interest, "says you." The other five stared at her. "Honestly, as the only one in the middle of your two time periods, and eventually I am going to be in all of your futures, I must say, a lot happens."

Remus gave Ginny a questioning look, "does it have something to do with you-know-who? It must, for someone said something about Lily and James' son destroying him."

New interest sprang across Catherine's face, "So Lily does finally fall for James! I knew she would eventually; though it did take her long enough. I wonder if they are together in time."

Peter conveyed the room again, turning to each person in turn, "what does happen to them? Why is their son so special?"

James smiled, "well, apparently James-my grandfather-went into hiding with my grandma Lily and their son. Then some guy named Peter rated them out and some ugly guy named Voldemort and he killed the two of them, but he couldn't kill my dad, even though he was just a baby at the time. Then my dad somehow killed him after getting rid of his horcruxes. Yah, it was pretty cool."

"A guy named Peter you say?" asked Remus, looking oddly at his friend and then back at James. "Are you sure?"

Lily nodded, "yah, why?"

Catherine gasped, "What was Peter's last name?" She threw Peter a look of hatred. "Surely not Peter Pettigrew."

James shrugged, "yah, I think that was who it was." James conveyed the looks of shook on Remus, Catherine's, and Peter's faces. "Why?"

"Well," whispered Peter. "My last name is Pettigrew, but I would NEVER betray my best friends."

Rose and Rosie were staring at each other unkindly. Hugo was looking over the scene with his mouth open, and so was his girlfriend. Lily was looking at Harry.

"You guys just disappeared and now you are back!" Hugo yelled, astonished. "Boy James, what did you do to your hair anyways? It's so much messier now."

Hugo's girlfriend bent over to kiss him on the check and whispered, "I had a great time Hugo. I'll see you around." With that she left, leaving Hugo in a daze.

"Ok," Hugo smiled.

"Hugo snap out of it!" yelled Rose Weasley at her brother. "Honestly!"

Hugo shook his head, "so, what did you do James?"

Harry realized that 'Hugo' was referring to him, "oh, actually I am your uncle Harry twenty years before this time period."

Hugo stared, and then he fell to his knees, "please don't tell mom that I am going out with Tina, she'll send another howler! The last one was SO embarrassing!"

Lily and Rosie exchanged startled glances. "I won't tell," Harry promised. "And that's big of Hermione, considering that she dated an international famous Quidditch player three years older than her when she was in the fourth year."

Hugo's eyes lightened up, "say what?"

Rose had a similar reaction, "dang, I didn't know mom had it in her."
