A/N: This is the fifth chapter. hope you like it, though I'm not sure if its very good. That means that you have to let me know and Im very open to suggestions to make it better.

When Harry awoke the next morning, the dormitory was deserted. He glanced at the clock, and jumped out of bed. He was late for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Why hadn't the Marauders woken him up? He thought to himself as he scrambled into his robes. He grabbed his books that he found in when he pulled out his robes and rushed out of the dormitory into the common room. He was about to escape through the entrance, when he ran into a red blob. They both fell to the ground and Harry's books flew everywhere.

"Where were you Harry?" Lily asked as they helped each other up. "Professor Haddison didn't want to start the lesson without you because you've already missed so much."

"Nobody woke me up, so I over slept."

"Your roommates didn't wake you up?"

Harry shook his head.

"I'm so going to get them! Aaag! They're so immature." Exclaimed Lily. She was absolutely fuming that the boys had left Harry behind. She grabbed Harry's arm and yanked him out the portrait hole.

As they briskly walked to the Defense class room, she vented to Harry about how much she hated the Marauders. When they finally reached the classroom, Harry's head hurt with all of Lily's rant.

The professor was busy at his desk and looked to be working on some parchments. When they walked in, he glanced up and set down his quill. Harry and Lily took their desks at the front.

Harry was slightly annoyed that he had to sit at the front. He wasn't really the type to sit at the front where the professor can easily see you messing around or sleeping. Curse Lily and her goody-two shoedness.

"Thank you for joining us today Mr. Porter. We were going to start a lesson on dueling, but because of your tardiness, there will not be enough time. We will begin next class and for the remaining class time, you will read chapter 6 in your defense book." Professor Haddison spoke a soft, but cold voice. Nobody talked as he spoke, but merely kept shooting glares at Harry for being late.

Harry opened his books and began to read. Soon enough though, he was bored with the book and began to read the same page over and over again. His thoughts wandered back to fifth year when they had to read all the chapters and copy them out. He really hoped that he wouldn't have to do that again. He also noticed that Lily was giving him the do-your-work look. He ignored it, like he had done to Hermione so many times, and continued to let his thoughts wander.

The bell finally rang. Harry leapt out of his seat and crammed his book into his bag. He quickly dashed to the door and waited outside for Lily, remembering that he wasn't supposed to know his way around Hogwarts yet. She came out about a minute later.

"You sure got out of there fast." She commented, as she left the room.

"I don't like the teacher." he replied.

"Ya, he's a bit different, but knows what he's talking about. That was really mean of him to pin all the blame on you."

"I don't think he likes me."

"He shouldn't have a reason to though. He's hasn't even known you a day."

Harry shrugged. As they were talking, he noticed that they were walking towards the Gryffindor common room.

"Do you have a free period?" Harry asked.

"No. I have Ancient Runes."

"Cool." Suddenly he had an idea. "Where's the Library?"

She told him and they departed their separate ways. Once he was in the Library, he found a secluded spot and found some books on time-travel. He spent his entire free period trying to find a way back or a way to bring someone back. While he was reading, he didn't notice that the bell rang or that Lily was coming up behind him.

"What are you reading?" she asked.

Harry jumped and closed the book. "Not much." His heart was beating fast. What kind of questions would Lily ask if she knew that he was reading time-travel books. He stuffed some of the books in his bag and stood up.

"Shall we go to charms?"

Lily nodded and they left for charms. The rest of the day passed without much drama. Harry of course got loaded up on homework in Charms and Potions. What else was new? When he finally got to bed, he was thinking of his friends and was wondering how they were doing. Did time pass in their time of he were here or did it continue as normal?

The Marauders were sitting in the Defense classroom, quietly laughing to themselves about their first prank against the new kid. It wasn't a very good prank or a clever one, but it would definitely make the boy look bad. Being late on your first day of classes, with the meanest teacher. Prof. Haddison was sitting at his desk, marking essays or something, which was weird because it was 5 minutes into class and he usually started on time.

He must be waiting for Porter, James thought. He looked around the class and noticed that Lily was fidgeting in her seat. She finally got up and walked over to Prof. Haddison. She was speaking quietly to him, when he nodded she briskly left the room.

She finally came back with a annoyed looking Porter. He didn't even look over at the Marauders and just slumped into his seat.

Prof. Haddison got up and addressed the class; "Thank you for joining us today Mr. Porter. We were going to start a lesson on dueling, but because of your tardiness, there will not be enough time. We will begin next class and for the remaining class time, you will read chapter 6 in your defense book."

James, Sirius, and Peter all silently groaned and glared at Porter. They were supposed to start dueling this class, but they weren't now because of Porter.

"Good gob guys! I told you to wake him up when I left! Don't blame him when it's your fault." Remus hissed angrily, seeing that their glares were directed at Porter.

"He should have set an alarm or something, instead of relying on people he barely knows." Sirius hissed back. Those guys were determined to hate Porter.

He opened his book and began to read chapter six.

Lily was fidgeting nervously in her seat. Where was Harry? She thought. Class start 5 minutes ago! Professor Haddison won't start the lesson without him! She was finally fed up with waiting and got up to ask Prof. Haddison would let her go and get Harry.

"Umm… Professor?" she asked a bit timidly.

"Yes, Miss Evans."

"I was wondering if I could go and see if Harry Porter is alright. He's new and he might have gotten lost or something."

He nodded his head, and Lily quickly left the room. She was going through the portrait hole when she crashed into a solid figure. They both fell to the ground and Harry's books flew everywhere.

"Where were you Harry?" Lily asked as they helped each other up. "Professor Haddison didn't want to start the lesson without you because you've already missed so much."

"Nobody woke me up, so I over slept."

"Your roommates didn't wake you up?"

Harry shook his head.

"I'm so going to get them! Aaag! They're so immature." Exclaimed Lily. She was absolutely fuming that the boys had left Harry behind. She grabbed Harry's arm and yanked him out the portrait hole.

While they walked, Lily vented to Harry about how immature the boys where. As they neared the Defense classroom, Lily noticed that Harry had an annoyed look on his face. She guessed that he was tired of her ranting, so she decided to slow down her mouth a little.

Lily practically dragged Harry to the front with her. She was pretty much alone in this class since her friends didn't take NEWT level Defense Against the Dark Arts. He didn't look to happy about sitting in the front. Lily assumed that he was more of back-of-classroom person.

"Thank you for joining us today Mr. Porter. We were going to start a lesson on dueling, but because of your tardiness, there will not be enough time. We will begin next class and for the remaining class time, you will read chapter 6 in your defense book." Professor Haddison spoke in his soft, but cold voice. Nobody talked as he spoke, but merely kept shooting glares at Harry for being late.

Lily got mad all over again at the Marauders when she noticed people were glaring at Harry. It wasn't his fault! Nobody woke him up, and even if they did, he wouldn't know the way.

Lily sighed quietly and began to read chapter six. After a while, she noticed that Harry had stopped turning pages and was staring blankly at the book. He should be trying to catch up! Lily thought, as she gave Harry the do-your-work. He ignored her so she eventually gave up.

The bell rang and Harry leapt to his feet beside her. He stuffed his books into his bag and practically ran out of the room. She packed up more slowly and exited the room normally. When she came through the door, she saw that he was waiting for her.

"You sure got out of there fast." She commented, as she left the room.

"I don't like the teacher." he replied.

"Ya, he's a bit different, but knows what he's talking about. That was really mean of him to pin all the blame on you."

"I don't think he likes me."

"He shouldn't have a reason to though. He's hasn't even known you a day."

Harry shrugged. Lily was subconsciously leading them to the Gryffindor common room as they talked.

"Do you have a free period?" Harry asked suddenly.

"No. I have Ancient Runes."

"Cool. Do you know where the Library is?"

She told him the directions and they departed their separate ways.

Ancient Runes was a bore for Lily. She couldn't wait to see how Harry was doing in the Library and to make sure that the Marauders hadn't done anything to him.

The bell rang, and Lily quickly left the classroom and headed to the Library. Once she got there, she started to search for Harry. She found him in a very secluded corner of the Library, reading a book intently. She walked up behind up, but he didn't seem to notice.

"What are you reading?" she asked.

Harry jumped and closed the book.

"Not much." He said quickly.

Lily was a bit hurt that he didn't trust her enough with what book he was reading, but shrugged it feeling off. They had only known each other for a day and a half. He packed up his books and they left the Library.

"Shall we go to charms?" He asked gently.

Lily nodded and they left for charms. The rest of the day passed without much drama. Lily didn't see the Marauders outside of class to have a 'talk' with them about Harry, so after she started her homework, she just went up to bed.
