**Disclaimer:**

Gred: Hey you!

Forge: Who, me?

Gred: Yeah you! Do you like Harry Potter?

Forge: I LOVE Harry Potter!

Gred: Do we OWN Harry Potter?

Forge: Of course…not! It all belongs to the one and only, JK Rowling!

Gred: Well, there you have it folks! Now go and read your little Fanfiction hearts away!

*A/N: -So sorry for the late update fellow HPers! You can blame Forge here for constantly procrastinating when I actually wanted to work on the chapter

I will have you know that I did not procrastinate. OK, well maybe a little ickle tiny bit. But when I'm not procrastinating I have really brilliant ideas and even Gred will agree!

-Yes, I agree. I've also made a discovery! I realized that you can't force ideas into your head like we tried. That only results in bickering, headaches, and more nargles dancing around in your head.

Also, sorry if we can't update as regularly as some might like. What with school and homework and such. So please know we try as hard as we can!

-Thank you all bunches for reviewing! (Honey Bunches of Oats that is~Forge)

Everyone gaped in shock at the aged wizard before them.

"B-but Albus, you cannot seriously expect these children from the future to stay here, do you?" asked a shocked, wrinkled woman with a bun much too tight on the top of her head.

"I am afraid so, Minerva. We have no choice but to let them stay for the time being. It is not only for their safety-" he gestured to the children "-but also for ours. From my predictions we are going to be receiving quite a few more guests from different times as well. We will need someone to look after them and make sure they don't cause any trouble."

There was a question still lurking in the back of Teddy's mind, and so he piped in before Dumbledore could continue. "Professor?" he started a bit tentivly, "how will be sure that the visitors from the past and future will not affect the time stream by the information they receive?"

"In my opinion, I think that obliviating their memories of this incident would do the trick. When we are done, it will insure that nothing in the future changes do to their new knowledge." Remus Lupin spoke up tiredly. It had been a long train ride back to Hogwarts for the new DADA professor due to the unexpected presence of the Dementors on the Hogwarts Express. He straitened up in his chair, and for the first time examined the four children before him carefully. He looked at the innocent young redheaded girl first, before glancing towards the other children. There was something oddly familiar about her appearance. Remus let his eyes wander on down a bit more, two brothers he expected. The youngest brother looked shockingly, and almost painfully just like his old friend, James. But the thought itself was impossible, because James was long gone, he thought sadly. The young boy also reminded him of James's son Harry, who just so happened to be enrolled in Hogwarts as well. He stared at the older brother as well. His messy raven hair looked windblown, as if he had just gotten off of the Quiddich pitch. The boy's eyes held a certain mischievous glint. A few qualities that sparked memories in the man's head.

But that was not what caught the werewolf's attention. What caught his attention was the oldest boy of them all, standing to the right of the group. Their eyes locked. Remus felt a strong connection to the turquoise haired boy that even he couldn't explain. It felt as though it had not been the first time they had met, but as if they had known each other for all their lives. He didn't know why, but he just felt a connection, like he couldn't pull away from his stare. He didn't want to pull away.

At the other side of the room, Teddy was also feeling a bit strange. Why was this man, whom he had never met before, staring at him with such intensity? And why did he feel the need to stare back? Then it hit him like a bulger, almost taking his breath away. He remembered the pictures that his godfather Harry had shown him. Pictures of his father, laughing and smiling with his friends on either side of him. This man was his father. His father. He was sure of it. It had to be.

Remus suddenly broke away from the locked gaze and Teddy was feeling empty once more. He longed for the connection again, for his dad to see him. But then again, being in the same room with his dead father was more than he ever imagined.

It was Dumbledore who broke the awkward silence. It was then that Teddy and Remus realized that everyone had been watching their little "staring contest". They both blushed and turned away from the curious stares.

"Now, I believe that we have discussed all of the key points in this meeting. Children, I shall escort you to your sleeping quarters momentarily. As for the Hogwarts staff, you are dismissed."

The Hogwarts teachers left the room quietly. As Remus passed, he and Teddy locked eyes for a brief moment once more. James, who noticed this little exchange, nudged his godbrother.

"Oi, Teddy, what's the matter with you? Fancy a Hogwarts professor mate? I honestly wouldn't go there. Take it from someone who knows."

"I-James, you've seen pictures of my dad right? Sitting in Harry's living room and in photo albums?"

"Yes, but I don't see how that is relevant to anything I just said. Are you even listening to me? Teddy? Teddy? Hello?" James waved his hands in Teddy's face to get him to listen, but it seemed that Teddy's attention was on other matters at the moment.

"I-I think," Teddy's voice was a bit strangled as he tried to overcome the emotions bubbling inside of him. "I think I just saw m-my dad."

"Bloody 'ell, Teddy! That's-" but James stopped midsentence because he knew it must be hard suddenly seeing your dead father who doesn't even know who you are, and he frankly didn't really know what to say.

"Yeah," whispered Teddy, slightly in a trance. "It is."

As the professors walked past the children, Al and James shrunk a little under the cold gaze and loathsome sneer of a greasy haired, hook nosed man. As they all filed out Dumbledore stared at the children with such intensity, they felt as if he could see right through them.

"Lemon drop?" he asked quite suddenly, offering them a bowl filled with small, circular, yellow candies.

The boys declined but Lily perked up and picked one of the lemon flavored candies.

"Ooh! It's very err... It looks really err... It's a... a... umm…what exactly is it?"

"A lemon drop, my dear," Dumbledore smiled. "A muggle candy that I have grown quite fond of."

"Oh," Lily shrugged and popped one in her mouth, slight smile on her face.

The other children stared at Dumbledore, waiting for him to say something. The old wizard sat behind his large desk and studied the children thoroughly. Finally, he spoke.

"You know, I cannot help but notice that you look very familiar to a certain student here-especially you Al," once again Al blushed and looked down. Either Dumbledore didn't notice, or he ignored the gesture.

"Perhaps you know him," he started again. "He is quite famous. His name is…oh yes-Harry Potter."

The children all turned slightly paler and looked away. They all started mumbling incoherent words that all jumbled together.

"Psshh-Potter? Never heard of-"

"Potter! What kind of name is that-"

"Nope, never heard of a Harry. Weird name, isn't it-"

"-does he make pots?"

"-why would we know him?"

"-I'm a little tea pot, short and stout-"

"Harry... Berry... Fairy..."

"P-ah-teeerr"

"HarryPotterWhoNowWhatNowWaHuh?"

"-Sorry Sir, we don't know a Harry-"

Everybody stopped their slurred mumblings at relatively the same time. Everyone except James, who hadn't noticed that everybody around him had stopped.

"Imagine if his last name was Pitts! Y'know, like Harry armpits?" James yelled loudly before doubling over in exaggerated fits of laughter. Everyone stared blankly at the odd child.

"Mind you, it sounded a lot funnier in my head."

Dumbledore raised his eyebrows curiously at James, who was still chuckling to himself now and then. He was still muttering the words "Harry" and "Pitts" between gasps.

Teddy shook his head, put his hands on James's shoulders and steered him away so he was slightly out of sight.

"You'll have to excuse him. He can be a bit…over dramatic about some things."

"Quite all right, quite alright," smiled Dumbledore with a twinkle in his eye. "It is quite common for people to go a mad at his age."

"OI! I'm right here, y'know. And I'm not a nutter!"

"Why of course not. Well I would love to stay here all night, but I think it's time we all get some good rest. which reminds me I think it is time I tell you about your room arrangements. I believe it is best that you all stay here at the Hogwarts castle. Sleeping quarters can be easily arranged. If you will follow me, please."

The children quietly followed Dumbledore to where they would be staying, all of them lost in thought about what the old Wizard's words could have meant. Did he really know who they were? Although, if he did know, the children would not at all be surprised. From the stories Harry had told them, they couldn't even imagine a greater Wizard.

Finally after arriving at the seventh floor of the castle, they all paused abruptly as Dumbledore came to a stop at a hidden entrance opposite of the tapestry. Lily, Teddy, and Al looked at the empty hallway and then to Dumbledore and back again in confusion as he strode back and forth across the corridor. But James who, with the help of the Marauders Map and much sneaking around the castle, knew exactly what this room was, and grinned.

After Dumbledore swept across a third time, Lily jumped back in shock as the once plain wall, started to form a magnificent door. The door formed slowly and was a deep shade of scarlet.

"What is this…" whispered Al in awe

This Al, is the Room of Requirement. I'll have to show you around sometime," answered James.

Al's eyes lit up but when Teddy spoke it was laced with a twinge of disapproval.

"Of coarse you would know James."

"Well, of course I know," replied James in a 'duh' kind of tone. "And it's Jose! Remember?" Teddy chose to ignore the end of James's sentence, for he still refused to call him Jose. Dumbledore cleared his throat and opened the great doors, gesturing them all inside.

The children's' mouths were all agape in wonder. Inside was a very large living space accommodated to fit anybody's needs. To Teddy's great joy, there was a large line of books placed against the wall, which ran down from one end of the room to the other. They found themselves to be standing in midst of what the children thought to be an exact replica of the common room they were so used to. It had everything from the comfortable chairs to the well-kept warm fire.

The Potter boy's eyes lit up as they spotted the Exploding Snap game, a chess set, and a miniature Quiddich stadium with which they could actually play against each other with. Lily also smiled when her eyes gazed over the bookshelf Teddy was currently pouring over.

"This children," smiled Dumbledore as he lifted his hand and made a sweeping motion across the majestic room, "is indeed, the Room of Requirement. I myself have found this room to come in quite handy. I am surprised that you have knowledge of this room, Jose. In fact, I have not discovered this room until I accidentally stumbled upon it one night."

James looked somewhat smug at this statement and replied, "what can I say, I am full of knowledge."

Dumbledore smiled and continued. "You will find everything that you will need in here, save food, which will be brought to you by the house elves. Boys, over here," he indicated to a section of the room that was divided by a curtain. Upon lifting the curtain, the children saw that it help three four-poster beds, cabinets, and a sink. "And Lily, you will sleep on the other side of the room in your bed."

"Wow this place is awesome" said Lily in the midst of all her excitement

"Now, please report to my office in the morning to get your schedules for your classes."

"Wait," burst James. "So you're saying we come back to the future, just to go to school?" he spat the word 'school' as though it were some vile curse word.

"Yes, school. We do not want to arouse suspicion of other students. Therefore you all will be exchange students from other wizarding schools around the world. I will let you know specifics of classes in the morning, but for now I believe you should all get some well deserved sleep."
