Everything started to spin. There ware different colors like in kaleidoscope Not the typical fast backwards movie but a real mass. Than it suddenly stopped. All of them felt to the ground. It was dark but they sourly ware at Knockturn Alley. They quickly got up. "We got to get out of hear." James sad as he helped Rose to her feats She gave him a small smile.
"So lets go." Albus sad franticly and moved towards Diagon Alley.
After few minute they got to the front-steps of Gringots'. Lily went a bit further There was a news-box. She withdrew some money from her purse and bought a copy of Daily Prophet. She nearly screamed. "Guys!"
"What is it?" Morgana asked.
"It's 1977." She sad.
"Shit!" Albus and twins sad at he same time.
"That's hilarious!" James started.
Lily and Paula gaped at him. "No it's not!"
"We can meet the Marauders and they'll be our age" The twins smiled widely.
Rose clapped her forehead "You are seriously ill." Rose sad. "Lets go. We can start even from hear. First we need a room." She started walking towards the Leaky Cauldron The others followed her.
"Good afternoon. My name is James S. Pettors and me and my companions need a room to stay at for next few days." James gave Tom a light smile.
"Yes and good afternoon you lot. I see. One tree-bad room and two two-bad. Rooms 3, 9 and 10. The room 3 is right in front of room 10 so you will be all together."
They moved up to the biggest room. It was that across from other two. Twins and Paula claimed it.
"So what's the plane now." James asked.
"We can join the Potter family hear. I rad that Charlus Potter had a squib cousin, who went missing in 1958. He can be our 'father'." Albus claimed. One of his greatest loves was genealogy.
"OK And what then? We went too far back." Rose demanded
"Yeah, but that means more time for us. First of all, we can't go to Dumbledore or to the Ministry. And we need new education diplomas" Lily sad.
"Nice. We can make them." Twins agreed
"OK And what will we say about us." Rose pointed on Weasleys of the group
"You are our cousins. Being Potters, we ware found up and attacked by Death Eaters in Australia. It was during our family gathering Our parents died while buying us time to get out of house. Our relations can stay. We are Potters and you are Watsons." Albus smiled.
"So we will infiltrate the Potter manor and Hogwarts." James smiled.
"Actually you won't. You are off-age." Albus corrected him.
"You can start Weasleys products so we have some income Just rename it." Lily smiled. James got exited.
"Now we have to get some current clothes. Muggles' as well as wizards'." Rose stated.
After a good night sleep and day of shopping and another night of sleep they got everything Twins had managed to change their Hogwards' diplomas to New Stormhall's from current time. They managed also to make new birth-certificates.
James was now known as James Samuel Potter, Lily as Lillian Lucy Potter, Albus as Albus Simon Potter, Paula as Paula Molly Watson, twins ware Morgana Marry Watson, Guinevere Linda Watson and Rose was Rose Kate Watson. Parents had their names unchanged only mothers' maiden names had had changed Gini's was now Watson, Penelopa's was Purewater and twins' mother's was Down. Hermiona's was unchanged. And Harry was now Harold Xavier Potter.
When all was prepared they got down and asked Tom to let them use his flue. Albus was the one to speak.
As the flue sounded in the Potter manor, Mr. Potter came downstairs and answered it. "Yes?" There was a face in the fire-place. The boy looked slightly like James but younger and with gray eyes.
"Hullo. My name is Albus Simon Potter, son of Harold Xavier Potter." He smiled at his supposed second removed uncle.
Charlus studied the boy. "Isn't this one of James' pranks?"
"No sir. I swear on my life it isn't. I, my two siblings and tree cousins came to London tree days ago." He made a troubled pause "We got hear because our parents ware killed by Death Eaters. We ware on a family gathering They sought us out as our father as you know even if he was a pure-blood, he was as well a squib. He married a half-blood witch. They decided them to be a good example. As I was saying, they attacked us during a family gathering so mums' family was present. Father was the first one they got and then the other parents decided to give their lives for us. Also other cousins are..." He paused. He gave Mr. Potter the right image of a relay sad and devastated boy.
"Harold got married to a half-blood? Everyone thought him dead. Pleas take your siblings and cousins and come hear. We have so much to talk about." Mr. Potter sad sadly
"Thank you Mr. Potter. We will be there in a moment." Albus polled out of the fire-pace. "Did you all listen carefully?" When everyone nodded, all the kids got some floo-pouder and one by one got throw the floo.
Mr. Charlus Potter was a tall older man. He looked like grabddad Potter when they saw him tree days age only he seamed to have kinder personality. As the kids saw now they stood in the entrance-hall.
"Hallo Mr. Potter." Albus sad followed by the others.
Mr. Potter gave them a sad smile. "I hope it could have been for a pleasant reason. My name is Charlus Ignatius Potter. Pleas fallow me." He took them to the living-room and all of them sat down. "I know now your name. What about the others?" Mr. Potter asked.
"My name is Lillian Lucy Potter." Lily smiled. "I am 15."
"James Samuel Potter, 18." James gave his great-grandfather a grin. The said man was quiet used to it. "We are kids of Harold Xavier Potter and Guinevere Potter nee Watson."
"Paula Molly Watson, and I am 16." Paula gave out an impressive book-warmish look. "Daughter of Percy and Penelope Watson."
"Rose Kate Watson, 15, of Ronald and Hermione Watson." Rose mirrored Paula.
"Morgana Marry and..."
"Guinevere Linda Watson..."
"Both 15. Daughters of George and Kate Watson." The twins gave him the famous twins' speech as Gred and Forge would had had given if they ware there. What a pity they weren't identical.
Mr. Potter was even sadder now. "How many have had died?"
"Twenty tree including parents and grandparents." Lily sad while sobbing. All others went quiet and sad. They won't ever get home. Paula looked speechless Till now she didn't fully believe the Potter kids. She as well had no idea how many people they lost. But she lost them us well. Just now it occurred to her that there was no way back home. Her eyes got watery.
Mr. Potter gave them an apologetic look for asking that question. "I am sorry. I shouldn't"
"We will somehow manage." James sad huskily "After all we... managed to got hear." He nearly sad: "... We are the children of the boy-who-lived."
"Actually there is just one think we can't manage. We need to enroll to Hogwards." Rose sad weakly.
James looked sadly at Mr. Potter. "Whit the money from our Gringot's vaults I can manage to open a shop in Diagon Alley but we still need help with the Board of governors"
"That won't be a problem. Actually.. I wont you to stay for a while till you get the shop and the summer break is owner My son is right now in the Diagon Alley whit my wife and his friends. We can go to see Dumbledore till they came back. Do you have your education certificates?" Mr. Potter asked.
After some other preparations they got to Hogwards. Professor McGonagal was the one tho welcome them. She seamed confused and distressed by their apprentice and story and took them to Dumbledore.
"Hallo professor"
"Charlus, what are you doing hear? And who are those?" The old man eyed the group whit suspicious
"This Albus, are the kids who just lost all of their family. You remember the son of Xavier and Magnolie Potter, Harold Potter? They are his children and their cousins. Became orphans 'course of Death Eaters." Minerva sad sharply.
He looked confused. James sighted at him. "Harold Potter, as in the Squib Potter cousin of Mr. P hear." McGonagal gulped. "What? It's true."
"You're being too blunt." Lily scolded him.
Dumbledore finally got it. "Potters ware always Hogwards' students and same goes for their relatives" Sad the old principal
He is prejudiced Lily realized He is a silent part of pure-blood site. He just like to do it quietly. Perhaps he helped father to defeat Voldemort only for the Greater Good. She disliked him instantly. Her Slytherin's instincts kicked in. The man in front of her did everything only for survival of the wizardry society. He was a friend of Grindewald when he was younger. She started sobbing. "Thank you sir You ware our only hope. I don't know... How would've we managed though.. In muggle world... Full of wars and blo..." She mentally smiled when all the adults looked only at her.
"But what about us? You have at least Jamie But we... And Paula is all alone." Gwen started to play along.
"You can stay whit us. Dorea will be delighted to have some other women in the mansion." Charlus sad happily. "Just be aware that Sirius is a womanizer"
"Thank you Mr. Potter. You are being wary kind to us." Paula gave him a thankful look.
"We can sort them now. How old are you?"
"We are fifteen as are they." Twins pointed at Lily and Rose.
"Sixteen." Added Paula.
"I am seventeen and James is one year older and out of school." Albus gave his brother a pointed look.
"So we can start. Girls first. Genevieve.." Dumbledore took down the Hat and placed it on her had.
It mealy touched her. "Griffindor!"
"Yap! Now me." Morgana laughed. She was sorted the same way as her twin.
"Rose." Lily sad. She dreaded her own sorting.
Rose took the Hat and it took a while till it shouted: "Rawenclaw." Albus smiled at her. "What have I told you?" She grinned.
Now Lily couldn't avoid it. She took the Hat...
... So afraid I'd say what I sad in the past... Sorry, future... But you know. It can help you. You are... Tom's opposite You can do it... And someone is waiting for you...
... What? Who?... She didn't got a chance to continue.
"Slytherin." The whole room went quiet.
"Is it that surprising? She is cunning and we need a spy. If we don't they sourly have many. Don't expect a fair-play." James sad.
By that time Paula took the Hat. "Rawenclow."
Albus proceeded "Griffindor." He grinned at James.
"Can I? Just for fun." James was sad. He wanted to go to school with the Marauders.
"Huplepuf." James went multicolor and shocked. All the others ware laughing.
"That's nice one." Minerva added. Now even James was laughing.
After that they went thru paperwork. Also Mr. Potter became the non-potter kids' legal gardian. James got custody owner Albus and Lily.
They came home at near midnight. Mrs. Potter, James Sr. and Sirius ware home by then and a bit worried about Charlus.
"Hallo family!" Mr. Potter sad from the kitchen entrance as he and the future-kids proceeded in. "James, this are your cousins from Australia. They'll be staying for a while. And this tree lasis are their cousins."
"Cousins?" James Sr. asked dumb-fully while Sirius eyed all the girls.
"Second removed They are Harold's children."
"You mean Harold as in Harold Xavier Potter, the one who went missing?" Mrs Potter asked.
"Yes, that's our dad. Or was..." James Jr. sad sadly.
"You mean the one, who was nearly disowned because he was a squib? Your father stopped your uncle and..."
"Yes Dorea." Mr. Potter sad sadly.
"Oh dear. Don't tell me that even Potters do that to the squibs. Sorry... I forgot what uncle Ron had sad when I was sorted into our equivalent of Slytherin." Lily sad sarcasticly.
Sirius and James Sr. Stared at her as if suddenly she became an enemy.
Dorea gave the girl a sad smile. She knew how it was to have prejudiced people around you. After all she was nearly disowned herself. Marrying a Potter, a blood-treator. Her family saw her as a disgrace. That's why she encouraged James Sr. to befriend Sirius.
Lily gave her a small smile.
"By now boys you should know better. Remember? Uncle Alpard and Andy ware Slytherins as well."
The boys stopped immediately
Lily grinned. "Thanks Mr. Potter. Oh... It's strange to call you that. Mum was always..." Lilly gave her a sad smile. "Sorry."
"Actually I wonted to ask... Charlus, where are their parents?" Dorea asked.
"The Death Eaters." There wasn't a need for a longer answer. The name already started to be a magic word for unnatural death. Sirius pailed, James Sr. reddened and all the others got a distant look.
"This time it wasn't any of your cousins or other family." Albus gave the older boy a comforting reassurance "You aren't responsible for them." Most of them will come around. He reminded himself. Charlus smiled at Albus. It seamed that his cousin's children will bring some peace into his home.
"It's late Charlus." Dorea suddenly looked at the watch. "Grammy." A house-elf appirated. "Prepare guest-rooms. I guess the twins wont a room together." Morgana and Gwen nodded
"Now follow Grammy. If there is anything you need, just say it." Charlus added.
In the morning they made a quick shopping in Diagon Alley. There ware books that hadn't change as well as those that had and James needed a shop to buy so he went to find some for sail.
It went good till they came across someone who only Lily saw. "Give me a minute." She ran away before anyone stopped her.
"Scorp?" The figure in front of her in dark green cloak stood still in shock so she circled him. "Scorp." To her own surprise she smiled at him. What was it that whatever he had done bad she'll always forgive him?
The shock finally ran off a bit. "Lils." Scorpius Malfoy stared shocked at his long term friend and ex-girlfriend But even now he new she won't be ex for long. He finally hugged her. "What the hell are you doing hear? It's dangerous" Hi kissed her.
Lily pooled herself from him and slapped him. "Ya know what you are doin'? Broking up, runnin' away and becoming this?" She garbed his hand and pointed where the mark should be. "Massing with time."
"No, Lily I..." He took her hand.
"We'll see each other at school." She pushed by him crying. He was the only one who could ever do that whiteout being hexed He new better than to run after her and if she was hear so ware her brothers. They would've killed him.
"Where have you been?" James Sr. asked Lily.
"Don't." She gave him a pleading look.
"She found a git of the century." James Jr. added.
James Sr. looked around. "You know the Malfoy brat? He came to school half a year age He also says he is from abroad"
"Shur as hell he is. We suspect him to be the one who..." James Jr. started but Lily ran away.
"Idiot." Albus sward at his brother.
"What? It's true." James Jr. sad defensively
"He's her was-and-will-be-again boyfriend" Rose sad whit resignation.
"She doesn't have a taste. He hangs out whit Regulus and Snevillus all the time." Sirius sad darkly.
"You know, mate. Normally she'd say it but as she ain't hear... He is still your brother even if you no longer see him as one and at least you shell try. Father kept an eye on thinks hear. Your brother wasn't the one who disowned you. Give him a chance Make a first step before it's to late." And it'll be in few weeks Albus looked solemnly at his granddad. Sorry. This man wasn't yet James Charlus Potter, husband of his granny and his father's father. This boy was still Prongs, the Marauder.
"Yeah And don't prank eider of them at school." Penelope sad, what surprised her cousins. Rose had the same line on her tong.
"Say that to them." Sad Sirius. He didn't like a distant filing he was getting from them. As if they knew too much of him. Even thinks he didn't.
"I'll fetch Lily." Rose ran of to find her cousin. It wasn't that hard but she weren't first.
"... Lils pleas. At lest listen. Then you can judge and be angry. He made me make an unbreakable wove..."
Scorpius looked desperate but Lily didn't give a damn. He distroied her life, her family... "You... Because of you not telling me... My mum changed into your granny and my father into a griffin prat. Because of you I became hated by my own family. Remember how you felt about your grandfather when he was finally released? You made it even worse.. And left me behind..." Last part she only whispered "Alone." Yeah What if she was selfish for now? He deserved every bit of it. She took out her wand.
"I think that's enough. Leave Malfoy." Rose decided it was best to stop her. There was no telling what was she about to do and that newer meant any good with Lily Luna Potter. Malfoy didn't need to hear it twice as he as well knew that. It took Lily whole summer to talk to Rose again. During they time future and present Potters and co. got to know each other a bit.
