Thanks to those of you who reviewed, I'm glad you like it so far! Please keep the reviews coming. If anyone wants to beta this story, just message me. Because I think that it needs a beta... hehe.

I forgot to put a disclaimer in the last chapter... *looks around nervously*.. oops. Here it is: I am not blond, British, or fabulous, so that would inquire that I do not own Harry Potter. I wish I did, though.

"My name is Claire..." She said trailing off. Dumbledore! She thought frantically, once again. Dumbledore will know what to do about this! She stood up quickly, accidentally knocking Remus back on his behind and she looked towards the castle.

"I need to speak with Professor Dumbledore, now."

Sirius was the first one to move. He slowly walked up to her and looked at her from head to toe.

"Alright, fine. But who are you? I've never seen you before." Sirius looked at her suspiciously. Claire just walked past him to the castle.

"I'll answer you once I talk to Dumbledore." She replied impatiently.

"How do you know where you're going?" James called out. Claire stopped walking and turned to face him. Every single time she's looked at him, her heart ached.

"Right… Lead the way." Probably should seem like I don't know what the hell I'm doing. She thought logically. Sirius and Remus took the front, walking in front of her and James stopped in front of her.

"You look so familiar." He said staring at her, or more specifically, her eyes. He probably only knew one other person with those eyes. Her mother, Lily Evans.

"Have we met before?" He asked, running a hand through his messy black hair.

"Nope. Sorry." She said a little too quickly, jogging slightly to keep up with Sirius and Remus. The four of them walked in silence to Professor Dumbledore's office.

"Professor Dumbledore?" Sirius knocked on the door. It swung open and she saw the older man sitting as his desk with an amused look on his face, and a twinkle in his eye. He looked much younger, she found.

"Have you managed to get yourself in trouble on the first day, Mr. Black?" The twinkle in his blue eyes just shone brighter as Sirius entered with James and Remus beside him, and Claire behind them.

"No, sir. We were sitting by the lake and this girl just… appeared." Remus explained, sitting in one of the chairs, motioning to Claire. Sirius stepped aside and gently pushed her forward.

She shivered when he touched her, knowing that in her time, he had died only just before the school year ended.

"Where are you from, my dear? And what is your name?" The Professor asked gently. Claire took a deep breath before speaking.

"My name is Claire Potter. And I'm from the future." A few seconds later she heard a thud behind her. She turned around to see her father, passed out on the ground before her.

"Potter?!" Sirius and Remus said incredulously. Claire looked at the ground then back up at them.

"He's my dad." She said quietly before turning back to the Professor.

"Who is your mother, dear?" Dumbledore asked quietly.

"Lily Potter. Or I guess Evans, seeing as I am in the past…" She trailed off as she heard yet another thud behind her. She turned to see Sirius had passed out just as James was awakening.

"Lily?!" James grinned. Claire nodded.

"Well, how did you get here?" Remus asked.

"I'm not too sure exactly… I got in a fight on the train with Malfoy, bloody git if you ask me-" She was cut off by Sirius.

"Malfoy? As in Lucius Malfoy?"

"Yeah. Lucius' boy. Or as I like to refer to him: Lucy." She grinned turning back to Dumbledore, once again.

"Yeah, she's definitely your girl." She heard Sirius whisper to her dad. She smiled sadly.

"Did you manage to catch the spell young Mr. Malfoy used to send you back?" Professor Dumbledore asked, considering the possibilities.

"I didn't. His voice was a bit muffled by his hand. I ah- I punched him in the face. Didn't quite catch what he said." Claire blushed as she heard a bark of a laugh coming from one of the marauders. Probably her dad.

"This poses quite an issue. I'll start researching, but until I, or any of the staff find something you will have to stay here." Claire sighed.

"That's what I was afraid of." She muttered quietly. She slumped back into one of the chairs and put her head in her hands.

"I would ask that you not tell anyone of their future. It would not do well to meddle with time-travel." Professor Dumbledore said, looking at her over his glasses. Still the same Dumbledore, that was for sure.

"Can I tell my mum? That I'm her daughter, I mean." Claire said softly, hoping the answer would be yes. She'd always wanted a mother, and here was her chance.

"Yes, you may. But do not tell her about whom your father is. I fear she may have a heart-attack." The Professor chuckled. Claire looked quite confused, as did Sirius, Remus, and her dad.

"But, she would know it was me if Claire's last name is Potter." James pointed out.

"Well, we'll just have to change her last name then. Temporarily, of course." Claire nodded and looked back at her father. He gave her a reassuring smile, and it made her want to cry.

"We shall change it to McGonagall, and say that you are Minerva's niece. Was Minerva still a teacher in your time?" Professor Dumbledore questioned. Claire smiled, and laughed.

"Oh, yeah. Transfiguration teacher, and my head of house." She turned around when she heard someone jumping up and down and saw her father jumping around.

'YES! My daughter's in Gryffindor!" He kept repeating. Claire laughed and shook her head. Sirius joined him, and Remus rolled his eyes.

"Would you like to be sorted once again, or would you prefer to stay in Gryffindor?"

"I think I'd like to stay in Gryffindor, please." Claire laughed at her father and Sirius who were still jumping.

Professor Dumbledore nodded while smiling and said:

"Well. Welcome to 1977* Ms McGonagall."

*I'm pretty sure that's when the Marauder's were in their sixth year. If I'm wrong, please let me know the year. Thanks! Please review!
