(1996)

All the kids sat at the dinner table utterly and interlay nervous. James and Freddie had told the others their plan, but just before they were about to put it into action, Molly had announced that all the Order was staying for dinner. The kids all agreed that there was no sense in spoiling a perfectly good dinner and decided to wait until dinner was over. "So," Remus started, taking a drink. "We obviously won the war if we started families, but the true question here is who died?"

James gagged on his drink. He spit it back into the cup, coughing. George, who was to the left of him, clapped him on the back. "Okay there James?" he asked him. James nodded coughing. When it subsided he said, "Yeah, just caught me off guard a little." Freddie glanced around Fred and George a worried look hidden in his eyes. Albus turned away from the glances that were being tossed at all the kids.

James swallowed the last of the coughs. "Well, first of all, we lose-"

"Sirius," Freddie finished for him. "What no!" Harry shouted looking straight at Sirius. Lily turned hugging Albus burying her head in his side. Albus held his arms around her as Roxie soothed her red hair. "When?" Sirius asked looking straight at James. "Later this year," James responded. Harry was looking desperately at Sirius. "Harry, you will be okay without me. You obviously did pretty well without me," Sirius told him. Harry just stared at him. "Who else?" Mad-eye asked from the head of the table.

"Professor Dumbeldore. Next year." James told him. Harry had been reduced to tears at this point, and had his head down on the table. Mad-eye kept a stern look on James, still wanting him to continue. James swallowed trying not to watch his father. "Mad-eye." Mad-eye did not seem to be bothered by this, as he just kept his glance on James. "Ted Tonks." Tonks looked at James, positively terrified. "Dobby," Freddie said. He had realized that he probably shouldn't make James say all of them. "Remus," Harry was shaking now his head still on the table. Remus, who was sitting to Harry's left, said, "Harry we will be okay. And so will you. It was for a greater cause." Harry just shook even more. Freddie swallowed before continuing. "Tonks,"

"And Tonks, you and Mooney got married and had a little boy. Well not little anymore, but his name is Teddy. He's seventeen now and my dad's his godfather. He goes in between your mother's and our house," Albus explained. Lupin looked shocked then worried. "He's not-" he started. "No, he's not a werewolf," Freddie finished. Mad-eye cleared his throat. "Snape," James said catching the cue. "Lavender Brown and Colin Creevey," James stopped. Freddie and James glanced at each other. "Is that all?" Mr. Weasley asked from the other table head. Realizing neither of the boys were going to say it, Roxie said, "Fred,"

"NO!" George shouted. The some-what silence in the room was broken by the mass of Weasleys as they argued that this couldn't happen. No, this could not be happening. Not to Fred. Fred didn't seem to know what to do as he was grabbed by his twin and his mother. His face was utterly shocked as he just stared forward.

Freddie took one look at his father's distressed expression, and he slipped out of his seat and out the door.

"PRESENTS!" The kids shouted as Charlie pulled a bag out of his suitcase. "Ah let's see," he said digging his arm down into the bag which obviously had an extension charm. The first one he pulled out was a miniature dragon much like the one Harry had in his fourth year during the Triwizard Tournament. The small green dragon breathed a small amount of fire as he handed it to Hugo. "For Mr. Hugo Arthur Weasley, a miniature Common Welsh Green dragon," Charlie said with a smile. Hugo took the gift happily rushing over to show his parents.

He pulled a rather large book out of the bag. "For Miss Victorie Gabrielle Weasley," He handed the book to her as she smiled ear to ear. He reached down in the bag once again. "To Mr. Theodore Remus Lupin," he said tossing a robe in Teddy's direction. "How did you-" Teddy started realizing what the coat was made of. Charlie cut him off. "Save all questions until the end Mr. Lupin,"Charlie dug out more presents. A never ending notebook to Lucy, water colored color pencils to Dominique, some toys from a joke shop that was in Romania to be split between Louis, Fred and James, a chess set for Albus, new sketch books and coloring pencils for Lily, new books about folk tales for Rose, and last but not least new potion books for Molly and Roxie.

The presents for James, Fred, Albus, Roxie and Lily had been set aside for their return. Charlie still hadn't heard the whole story, and was extremely curios about the subject. "Alright go play you lot," Ron said ushering all the kids out the front door, Teddy included. All of them had moaned and groaned about not being able to talk to Charlie as they walked out the door.

The moment that they were positive that all the children had made it to the garden, they relayed the story to Charlie.

James found his cousin three minutes later, in the bathroom that had become like their escape. Freddie was leaning against the wall, his knees pulled up to his chest. His chin was resting upon them, and he seemed deep in thought as James pulled himself onto the counter. Neither of them said anything for a moment. Freddie was the first to speak. "You know I was thinking, maybe we could just leave one person's memory so that at least Fred won't have to die,"

James thought for a moment before answering. "You would probably never exist then. Your dad said it himself. Fred more than likely would've married your mom instead of your dad marring her. You and Rox would've never been born."

"I don't really care about that James! I just want my dad to be like he is now. Happy. Fully happy."

"You don't realize what you're saying Freddie!"

"Oh don't I? Why are you getting yourself so worked up over this anyways?"

"OH, I DON'T KNOW MAYBE BECAUSE YOU'RE MY BEST FRIEND! MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE I NEED YOU!"

James stopped realizing what had just slipped his lips. "You mean that?" Freddie asked him quietly. James nodded, his ears turning pink. James slid of the counter, plopping himself next to Freddie. "Every word. You're not just my cousin Fred." James said quietly. "I hate it though. Seeing what my dad looks like on May 2nd. He's just not him. And I know he tries, but Merlin James, It hurts so bad just seeing him like that." Freddie said. James nodded in agreement. "I know how it feels,"

There was a small knock at the door. "You okay in there? I heard shouting." The voice of Fred Weasley echoed through the door. The door opened as Fred stepped in. He closed the door quietly behind him. James scooted over allowing Fred to sit between him and Freddie. "How'd you manage to slip away from all that?" Fred sighed. "Tons and tons of begging. So what was the shouting about any way?" James and Freddie glanced at each other. Freddie recited what had happened only moments before. James's ears turned pink once more. When Freddie was done, Fred asked, "You would really do that?"

Freddie nodded, and he brought in a shaky breath, obviously dangerously close to tears. Fred slid his arm around Freddie then his other around James. "Alright let's get this straight. Neither of you are going to do anything to try and save me. Because none of you, including what other ones might be in your time, are disappearing off the face of this planet."

Charlie stared at everyone wide eyed. Before Charlie could even say anything, George said "Yes Charles, we are serious." Charlie kicked George in the shin since he was sitting on the other side of the table. George yelped and kicked Charlie. "Alright any way how long is the time-turner going to take then?" Charlie asked glaring at George. "Now, a little over a week," Harry responded. Charlie nodded. "Do you want me to go with you?"

"I think it's just going to be Harry and George, Charlie," Molly said as she stirred some soup on the stove. "About that I asked Teddy to go too," Harry said waiting for the shouting. "ABSOLUTELY NOT!" Molly shouted. "Mum-" George started. "NO! ABSOLUTELY NOT! AND DON'T YOU EVEN TRY TO CONVINCE ME, GEORGE FABIAN WEASLEY!" Molly shook her spoon at him, splattering soup across his face.

Ron seemed to think this was hilarious, as he began laughing. Hermione stopped him though smacking him on the back of the head. That was the end, according to Molly, of the conversation about Teddy going.
