Now I knew I had done it. I was ashamed of it too. I had meant to do many things.
I had meant to prank Rose that one time, and I had learned from that after she tried to throw books at me. I had pranked every person in the family and had learned one way or another. Today though, I had reached new limits.
Somehow, I sent us into the past. The past, where things were different, and dangerous.
So now, I was standing in Grimmuald place of all places. Not a warm and welcoming place like the Burrow, where Grandmum would make cookies and tell me that even though I was a bad boy, everything would be okay.
But I was 16 now, and held responsible for my actions, and wished I wasn't. I opened my eyes again, really wishing what I saw wasn't true.
Teddy stood in front of me, trying to reason with Sirius. The guy I was named after. And Teddy, was getting nowhere. Taking a deep breath, I but on my best smirk and decided to help out after what I had done.
"Sirius, calm down. Teddy isn't good at this sort of thing, didn't get in enough trouble at school." I said joking.
Teddy gave me the strangest look. The look I had been given a good amount of times, clearly meaning, what the bloody hell are you doing.
But I knew what I was doing, I was helping us get out of the mess we were in so at least we were trusted by the good guys and had somewhere safe to stay.
"You see, he just doesn't have the talent me and Fred have, right Fred?" I asked ushering Fred over. You see, Fred helped us get into this mess (don't let him try to deny it). Fred brought the time-turner, I just played with it. So Fred walked up next me and does what every best mate does, helps you get out of trouble after you did something stupid.
"Yep, Teddy is fun and everything, but he's mister head boy, me and James here are pranksters." He said.
With my name coming up, Sirius' face changed, as did Remus who was standing behind him, though Tonks seemed to have had no effect at all.
"What did you say your name was?" he asked me, curiosity written across his face.
"James" A smile grew across his face, "Sirius" His smile grew so much bigger then possible, "Potter." He was now grinning like a mad man.
"Well why didn't you tell us you were a Potter? Potter's are always welcome in my house."
"Excuse me James?" I heard Dom say in the background. "Did you forget that you got all of us into this and you should get him to trust us all maybe?"
As I was about to speak, Sirius took that job away from me.
"Who are you?" He asked (a little rude mind you, I think he has grown fond of me)
"Dominique Nymphadora Weasley." She stated matter of factly.
Tonks stares stunned, Sirius warms up to her a little more and Remus is still just standing there. For a second I consider getting Teddy to come forth and introduce himself, but I could already see the murderous look on his face in my mind.
"Are we related somehow?" She asked, a little panic and disappointment are evident in her face as she takes a longing look at Remus from the corner of her eye. I didn't miss it though. That's how you get out of trouble, you have to read people well.
"No…" Dom said slowly finally catching on somewhat. "Not at all. My dad named me after you because you're a war hero."
"Who's your dad?" Tonks asked kindly.
"Bill Weasley." Dom said matter of factly.
"Sirius…" Remus said from the corner.
"We can trust them Moony." Sirius said with confidence in his voice.
"How? What have they said other than names to gain our trust?" Remus asked realistically.
Now it was time to really try and stop fooling around. You see when getting yourself out of trouble, if you first fool around, they go along with it for a little while, giving you just enough time to come up with a plan. Then when they say enough, you get serious and enact the pan.
"Well I know you're a werewolf, one of my grandfather's best friends, the best Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher my dad had, my mom and some aunts and uncles too for that matter, and-"
Teddy all of a sudden stepped forward, and then did something none of us would ever guess.
"You're my father" He said point blankly.
Remus stared in utter shock, as did Sirius and Tonks.
I can't believe he did it. I'm not the only one either. Dom and Roxy were gaping at him. I mean come on, when I say my dad is Harry Potter they say 'oh Harry has a nice future ahead of him' but when Teddy Remus Lupin goes up to his father, who will flip out, and says that well, it's going to be bad.
Remus continued to stare at Teddy, not really knowing what to say. Then that's when Kingsley Shacklebolt, with Uncle Percy behind him walked into the room and things were bound to get crazy from here.
"We need to talk" Kingsley said in his low deep voice.
"Yes we do" Teddy said absentmindedly.
"Remus, Sirius, Tonks, these children are safe." Kingsley said at the looks on their faces.
"Um….dad how about some of us go with you into the other room?" Molly suggested tentatively to Uncle Percy who agreed and went, along with everyone including me, except Vic who went to stand next to Teddy. Even Sirius followed us out thinking the family needed private time and urged Tonks to stay.
Uncle Percy looked damn near terrified of Sirius, and I almost laughed.
"Don't worry Uncle Perce, Sirius is a good guy. Innocent too." I said easily.
"Not for lack of trying." Sirius muttered.
"Excuse me?" Uncle Percy said pompously.
"My godson stood in the way of me committing the murder I was in prisoned for, and now that damn rat is working for Voldemort" Sirius said muttering the last part to himself.
"How about we talk about the family?" Lucy suggested.
Miles away in Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, another problem was about to brew though, when Adult Ron, Hermione, Harry and Ginny showed up in Dumbledore's office, as the ministry people awoke and McGonagall almost had another hard attack. The words 'Bloody Hell' had just enough time to escape Ron's mouth.
