Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, if I did my writing would be so much better, my spelling and grammar too
Mr. Potter was the first one to recover from the shock of the vortex. Normally he would have calmly gone up to these four random strangers who they were and how they got here even though it probably wasn't a very normal situation, but times weren't normal. This was war, for all they knew they could be death eater in disguise. Even though they looked lost and confused it could all be a ploy, a scheme, a trick, a clever little tactic used by Voldemort. His auror training instantly kicked in. He walked to where they were and whipped out his wand.
"Who are you?" was the thing he was the most curious about, fake or real he wanted to know it.
"Harry Potter." The one that looked almost exactly like him, like James with a few differences, his eyes for example said almost instantaneously, couldn't he have come up with a better lie.
"Real name."
"Harry Potter."
"There is nobody related to me called Harry, what's your REAL name."
"Harry Potter."
"You're not going to tell are you?"
"I keep on telling you the truth, my name is Harry Potter, you can use Vertiserum if you feel like it."
"Where am I supposed to get Vertiserum from?"
"Right here." Lily said speaking for the first time since the random strangers arrived. She rummaged through her bag and pulled out a small vial filled with see-though liquid, Vertiserum. "I always keep a bit with me, just in case." She handed the vial to Mr. Potter. "A drop each should be sufficient."
"All of you line up." He was referring to the newcomers.
"Umm, Mr. Potter doesn't seem a bit weird to question people here. I mean look around people are staring and probably listening in." What she said was Vertiserum true, people had noticed the strange gathering, not because of the vortex, not the random strangers, not the questioning, well those things had a roll in that, but it was the fact that James Potter and Lily Evans were 10 meters (A/N: That's around 33 feet and 4 inches, for all those people that don't know what meters are sorry if I messed it up couldn't look it up so I had to do it myself) apart from each other without Lily looking like she wanted to hex James Potter into next year.
"How about we go to Potter Manor."
"Dad, if any death eaters are listening then they would probably want to know who these people are and since they know where Potter Manor is they can apprate there easily. If we went somewhere they don't know there is less risk."
"Prongs, since when were you like Mad-Eye Moody."
"Kinda forced to if I want to live for the day Evans will finally say yes, speaking of which Evans will you go out with me?"
"Do you EVER give up, same as always, no."
"Prongs the day Evans says yes, me, Moony and Wormtail will shave off every single hair on our head, dye our eyebrows neon pink, paint our face to look like somebody that's in the army and keep it that way for 365 days."
"Normally I don't agree to this stuff but sure, Lily's never going to say yes. Sorry Prongs it's true." Moony said
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, my entire Hogwarts life has been a lie."
"No need to be melodramatic Prongs."
"You're hurting my ears."
"Ours', too."
"It's true you told me to keep trying and eventually say yes, and you call yourself my friends."
"Back to the issue, where are we going to go."
"How about my house, I know it goes against everything I believe in but I want to know to. My family's Muggle so it's less likely they know."
"That's a good idea, can we is the question?"
"Normally I'd say no but I guess I can make an exception."
"Dad, why does there have to be more freaks in the house."
"Because I want to know who they are too, I don't know why but that one's eyes kind of remind me of someone." While he said this he pointed to Harry. "Wait are they still here?"
"Yes, they are. Now how are we supposed to get there? We don't even know where it is."
"Lily's family's probably going to drive there, I don't know about the rest of us." Remus said this
"How do you know so much about Muggles, Moony?"
"I pay attention in Muggle Studies."
"You're boring."
"Why don't we drive there too." Mrs. Potter said speaking for once.
"None of us have a license except for Lily's parents, I think and I'm pretty sure that cars can't hold 14 people at a time, might be wrong."
"Gasp, the all mighty Moony might be wrong." Sirius said
"No, he's right. How about a cab? We'll need three."
"Wow, for the smart people you're all really stupid."
"Hey, that's my line."Sirius ignored Ron's comment and continued.
"How about an enlargement charm on the inside."
"That would work, Engorgio."
"I love magic." Mr. Evans said
"Freak."
~At the Evans' house~
"Nice house Evans."
"Save it."
"Now back to the matter at hand, drink a drop each." Each one of them did as they were told. "Names, first, last and middle, not you're nicknames.
"Harry James Potter." So he wasn't lying.
"Hermione Jean Granger." Weird name.
"Ronald Bilius Weasley." A Weasley, eh.
"Ginerva Molly Weasley." That wasn't possible, she looked to young to be married and there hadn't been a girl born to the Weasleys in generations. But on the other hand she did look a lot like a Weasley. Concealment Charm he thought to himself.
"Parents, first and last name and you're mom's maiden name."
"James Potter and Lily Potter, her maiden name was Evans. Still not adding up, his son wasn't married and he doubted there were any other people that matched that description but his son and the girl that gave him the Vertiserum, he only knew her name because his son wouldn't shut-up about her.
Everybody else that was listening to this conversation, the Marauders, Lily, Mr. and Mrs. Evans, Petunia and Mrs. Potter looked similarly confused.
"Nigel and Jennifer Granger, her maiden name was Reeve,"
"Arthur and Molly Weasley and her maiden name was, umm I forgot it. Ginny do you know what it is?"
"Prewett, same for me."
"When are you born?"
"July 31st 1980."
"March 1st 1980."
"August 10th 1981." (A/N: Really sorry if I messed up the birthdays I'm trying to remember, my internet connection was down when I wrote this. Or if I misspelled anything, I don't own copies of the books and when I looked in my library they were all taken out.)
"September 5th 1979."Still none of this was adding up. Then it all clicked together, it was the only thing that made sense.
"Are you from the future?"
"Yes." All four of them said it at the same time.
Everything was deathly silent after that.
