Just an FYI, Lupin is older Remus, while Remus is, well, younger Remus. Otherwise, it just gets too confusing...

Both of the Remus' faces paled.

They looked at each other, trying to decide if what they where seeing was real. Then, Lupin looked at the young Marauders.

"...James?" He said weakly.

James shook his head yes.

"...S...Sirius?" Said the older Remus. Sirius nodded his head in amazement.

"Sirius..." Older Remus began. He was going to say something else, but decided better against it. Lupin looked him up and down, then sighed. But James was more surprised at Older Remus. "

Blimey...Moon! You become a professor!" Said James, still shocked.

Remus just stood there and stared at his older self.

"You best come in here..." Said Lupin, signaling them to an older classroom.

"...I want to know exactly what happend." Said Lupin after he was sure no one was watching.

"Well, Padfoot over here messed with a time turner, and SOMEHOW managed to transport us to the future." said James. Remus was sure that he wouldn't talk like that to anyother teacher, but because this particular teacher was his best friend (in a way) he was safe.

"Hey! Who's the one who shook it up?" snarled Sirius.

"GUYS!" yelled Remus "Umm...older me...What happend was that Snape had a Time Turner, and James put him in the air..."

With this, Lupin chuckled

"...and it fell out of Snapes pocket. Then, Sirius picked it up, and teleported us here." Remus finished.

"Hmmm...I see." Said Lupin. He paced around a bit. "The only thing I can't explain is why it would send you FORWARD in time..."mumbled older Remus.

Sirius noticed that when Lupin was thinking hard, his eyebrows furrowed, just like Remus.

"I don't suppose you have the time turner?" Lupin asked.

Sirius put his hand in his pocket, and dug it out.

Older Remus took it from him, and looked at it.

"...I see...Dark Magic has tamperd with this." Lupin mumbled. "...Well...you boys are in luck. I know how we can fix this." He said.

"HOW?" the young Marauders yelled.

"It is very complicated." Lupin offered. "All YOU have to worry about, is getting another time turner, one that we can extract the sand from."

Young Remus' face paled. "Thats not gonna be easy. There are no time turners that I know of in Hogwarts... and I don't think that the ministry just hands them out to anybody." He said.

"Hmmm..." Sighed Lupin. "Well, until we find one, you are going to have to pass as normal students."

Sirius laughed. "Yeah right! How are we going to do that?"

Lupin sighed. He looked out the window, which had a beautiful view of the lake, and you could see the giant squid swimming lazily across the surface. Then, Lupins face lit up.

"I know!" he said. "You could be my nephews! You are just visiting Hogwarts, and you shall leave shortly." He said matter-of-factly.

Young Remus was thinking it through. "Could be risky...Shouldn't we at least tell the Headmaster?"

"He already knows." Said a soft voice from the doorway.

It was Dumbledore, and his eyes were NOT twinkling.

Again,

Lupin=Present Remus

Remus=Past Remus
