Chapter 6.

The morning sun was waking up students as they made their slow way down the stairs to the common room and out the portrait hole for some late breakfast.

Fred stretched out with a yawn the morning sun shining in his face through the high windows.

"Ah man I am so tired, this isn't as good to sleep on as I thought it would be," Fred mumbled. He looked around to see several younger students looking at him suspiciously when they walked by or stood in small groups whispering behind their hands to each other.

"Hey good morning, are you happy to see me?" Fred grinned at the younger students who all looked very anxious to be addressed by this unknown older person.

"Hey George wake up, it's time for some fun," Fred gave George a bit of a kick partly waking him up, as he mumbled and rolled over giving a rude finger jester to Fred.

"Hey you're up Fred," Sirius said to him when he appeared through the door that led to the boys' dorm rooms.

"Looks like Evans did return, James is in his bed right now," he told them looking back behind him at the door to their rooms.

Fred looked over at the stuff chair where James had positioned himself last night to wait for Lily to return to the common room, safe and unharmed.

They didn't tell James that most likely she would just sleep there the night since he would not have wanted to hear that.

"Let's go get some grub, I'm starved," Fred told Sirius who had taken a seat in the vacated stuff chair.

"Sounds good to me," Sirius told him, although before they could rise from the seats the girl's door opened up and two very pretty girls dashed out heading right for Sirius.

"Hey handsome,"

"Hi lover boy,"

Both girls cuddled up in Sirius's lap he kissed them both eagerly.

"Hey girls ready for some loving from yours truly," Sirius patted them both on their thighs.

"Always," they purred as one kissing his lips in turn.

"Wow Padfoot you are quite the ladies' man," Fred said very impressed and a bit envious.

"Oh yeah sorry Fred, this beauty here is my girl Lisa," Sirius indicated the girl on his right with dark brown hair, big brown eyes and a heart shape face and killer figure.

"This other beauty is my other girl Sabrina,"

She giggled cutely with darker almost black hair, dark chocolate eyes, an oval face and a figure to drive men wild.

"What can I say, I love the ladies and they love me," Sirius returned to his kissing, the two girls ran their hands over his chest, face and any other body part they could reach.

In a few minutes of the three making out passionately, two more boys came down the stairs.

"Padfoot, you're at it again," Remus laughed looking good in Muggle clothes; he plopped down in a seat laughing. Sirius gave him two thumbs up.

"You have no girl Moony?" Fred asked curiously.

Moony grinned at him.

"I never said I had no girl,"

"Oh who is your girl?" Fred asks inquisitive since this was things he had not known about these two men. He briefly wondered if Tonks knew.

Lupin looked at his watch, "She'll be here in a while, just wait."

The other boy that came down with Lupin, was Peter he sat looking sulky at the two other boys.

Fred said nothing as he looked at his face; he figured that he had no girl, of his own.

It was not long before James came down the stairs yawning and stretching, he flopped down on another chair.

"Evans; come down yet?" James asked looking over at the girl's door.

"Not yet, she'll be here soon though," Remus, told him as he looked at the door.

"Aaah here is my ladies," Remus smirked watching two girls run over to him climbing into his lap, kissing him passionately.

After their kissing ended, Fred was laughing hard enough to wake up George completely who sat up groggily looking around at them.

"What's the deal here?" George asked looking wide eyed at Sirius then Lupin.

Remus untangled himself for a few minutes.

"Guys this is Annie and Sammy my two loves," Remus introduced them they giggled cutely.

Sammy was blonde with hazel eyes, a soft heart shape face and lashes you could trip over, with a bust line that would appear before the rest of her.

Annie was strawberry blonde red hair with startling blue eyes in a gently baby face, a models figure and legs they seem to stretch forever.

Fred and George both looked at each other, as though to say no way, how did these two score big time like this.

James was smirking at the two guys, "I have a second girl as well, but Evans doesn't know it. So keep it under wraps."

"I heard that Potter, I don't care if you have a dozen girls, I won't be added to your little entourage," Lily was standing at the door. James looked horrified at her for a few moments before covering it up.

"Ah come on Evans you know I was joking with you,"

"Well thanks a lot Mr. Potter, see if you get anywhere with me," A blonde hair girl had appeared next to Lily glaring daggers at James.

"Missy…. You're….. Here…..?" James looked as though he was being held over the fire pit.

"Idiot, do you really think we girls don't talk," Lily told him heading for the portrait hole.

"Evans No; please don't leave," James bounded over to the portrait hole grabbing onto her arm.

"Oh how nice you don't even care if I leave, never speak to me again Potter," Missy stormed out of the hole leaving James looking miserable.

"You're just getting on everyone's last nerve here," Lily was smirking before she burst into laughter at him as she pulled on her arm.

"Lily, please I love you," James told her while she tried to make it through the hole with James following right after her.

Fred and George looked at each other worried.

"You don't think our coming here has… disrupted anything do you?" George whispered worried that they might have stopped Harry from being born.

"I sure hope not, but it sure looks… bad…" Fred agreed.

Sirius and his ladies had gone back to making out the same with Remus and his girls. Peter just sat looking depressed.

Not wanting to see and hear what might be happening with Harry's parents the two looked at Peter hoping to bring about a more calm and peaceful conversation.

"So umm Peter…. Looking forward to your O.W.L.S?"

Peter looked even more miserable.

"No I'm not," Peter stood up heading for the portrait hole.

George and Fred followed not wanting to watch Sirius and Remus getting even friskier with two girls, since they had none there to be that frisky with.

The three walked down the hall they could hear James and Lily speaking ahead of them.

"So Peter do you have several girls that you keep under wrap?" George asked as they watched the two speaking angrily to each other.

"No I don't,"

"Oh too bashful so what girl are you interested in?" Fred asked kindly, "Maybe we can help you get your true love?"

Peter looked at them miserably, as he gave a little hand motion toward the two arguing just down from them.

"Lily Evans you like her?" Fred asked stunned.

"Not… exactly…." Peter looked very red face now.

"What is not exactly you either like a girl or not," George pointed out.

"Or a….. Guy…" Peter whispered the last word so softly that Fred and George wondered if they heard that right.

"A… guy… you like….." Fred and George looked over at the two quarreling still.

"James?" Fred blurted out in stunned disbelief.

"Shh not so loud, I know he's not interested in me, he's straight but ever since we met and he made me his friend I've wanted nothing else but to…. Be his…." Peter spoke wishfully while he blushed even more.

"Wow," George said softly since no other words could come to mind at this time.

"It explains…. A lot…" Fred said in agreement.

"Umm why not go to… breakfast…" George asked quickly he headed toward the two arguing still.

"Come on Evans, please just try it, you don't even know," James was looking desperately at her.

"I don't need to try it to know I don't want it," she told him once more.

The three looked at them as they gave curt nods to them.

"See it's useless, he'll never be mine," Peter sounded so heartbroken that Fred and George felt a stab of pity for him. It vanished though since they knew what he had done later.

"Lily all you have to do…" he really wanted her to just try dating him and he hoped more.

"I know already, besides I told you what I'd do if he did, why can't that; be enough for you," she looked into his hazel eyes it was one thing she really liked about him.

"Because I want to try it with you, what's so wrong with that?" James took her hand in his own feeling the desire for her flare up even stronger.

"I'm with someone, and you broke Missy's heart, didn't she mean anything to you?" Lily asked angrily.

"No she never did, I only dated her because I was dared too, I never wanted her," he figured it was best to be honest.

"Oh great so who dared you to date me?" Lily asked she turned storming off with James following her.

"No one would ever have to dare me, I wanted you on my own reasons for ages; you gotta believe me,"

"Well I don't believe you so good bye Potter," Lily crossed her arms severely. James pulled her around to face him, stopping her in her tracks.

"I'm not giving up, ever." James told her once again kissing her with so much passion that Lily forgot her anger for a moment.

The three watched them kissing Lily didn't seem to squirm away or try to beat him up.

After the kiss ended, James was smiling at her.

"You kissed back again; you really did enjoy it," he felt his heart soar with happiness.

"No I was….. Just being polite," Lily informed him. She tried to leave but was once again pulled into his embrace.

"Sure polite, I buy that," James told her as he kissed her again, slipping in tongue this time.

Lily was surprised but for reasons she didn't want to voice let alone think she really enjoyed the way James kissed her especially with tongue added.

After the kiss ended, Lily pushed on his chest moving him back away from her.

"Sorry Potter doesn't do a thing for me," Lily turned around hurrying away before she grabbed him and kissed him eagerly on her own.

James hurried after her as did the other three boys, two eager to see what would happen with this love triangle.

"Lily slow down you know you want me, you know you do," James called to her just as Snape stepped out from nowhere grabbing Lily's arm and pulling her into his embrace.

"Sorry Potter, she is mine. Now that I know what to do to keep her from you I will do all I can to keep her out of your clutches," Snape smiled evilly at him before he kissed Lily eagerly.

James was glaring daggers at him, as Fred, George and Peter watched surprised.

"She won't always be yours, you'll be a Death Eater then she'll be all mine," James informed him.

Snape looked at him laughing, "You really think I'm going to join just so you can force her to marry you, I'll do whatever I can to make sure she continues to be all mine." He pulled her closer to him.

"Sev do you mean….." Lily looked up at him surprised, with tears gathering in her eyes.

"Yes I do mean it, I want everyone in school to know you're my girl, and one day you're going to be my wife," Snape smiled so lovingly at Lily that Fred and George were both taken aback by this display from a teacher they had known to be so cold and heartless toward everyone but students in his own house.

"Sev, oh… I didn't think…."

"What Lily what didn't you think?" Demanded James,

Lily looked over at him, "I didn't think he'd finally want to tell everyone we're an item, he was so worried about the kids from his house, now though," Lily being very demonstrative let her actions speak for her. She grabbed him around the neck kissing him as fiercely as possible.

James walked over to them pulling on Lily's arm away from Severus who looked livid as he pulled his wand out.

"Don't bother Potter she'll always be mine," Snape growled at him. James removed his own wand.

"I don't think so, she let me kiss her, and didn't fight back but enjoyed it, that means she isn't entirely yours," James sent a hex at Snape as he sent one at him screaming at him.

"She'd never kiss you willingly you liar," Severus screamed at him as the two hexes hit each other bouncing back and hitting the two men who both fell to the ground with large lumps on their faces.

"Boys," Lily groaned miserably. She used her own wand to wake them both up. Peter hurried over to James.

"Prongs are you ok?" Peter asked tenderly.

James was not quite awake as Peter strokes his face and hair tenderly.

George and Fred looked at each other.

"I think…."

"We've interfered too much with the past?" George finished for him.

"Yeah we better get back to our time," Fred looked at the three on the floor. Lily held Snape's head in her lap as he rubbed his forehead, while Peter was holding onto James hand.

"What's going on here?" Sirius asked curiously he walked up a girl on each arm.

Lupin also had a girl on each arm they looked worried.

"Peter, I told you to give up," Sirius whispered hurriedly. Peter looked up at him stubbornly.

"I'm just trying to help him," Peter grumped as he stood up.

"Yeah sure," Sirius waved his wand so that James woke up less groggily. He sat up rubbing his head to glare over to Snape in Lily's lap where he was moving his hand up and down her side.

"Hey guys we need to talk," Fred said softly, to them.

"Sure what's up?" Sirius asked he was patting and squeezing Lisa's backside.

"We figure it's time to head back to our….. Place…" George said looking at the four girls all cuddled up to the two men they knew and had believed until this time that they we're girlfriend deprived.

"Cool, I want to go with you," Sirius told him happily.

"Same here, that'll be a hoot," Remus agreed eagerly. James stood up looking eager.

"Yeah let's go,"

Fred and George looked surprised they nodded agreement at least they would know what was happening in their time and if they had made a mess of things here.

"Sure let's all go it'll be fun we can get Umbridge and Filch." Fred told him looking very excited about it.

"Great, let's go have fun," Sirius said with a laugh. They all walked off, James giving Lily one more heart broken look as she and Snape kissed tenderly.

The six boys walked down the hall when George pointed out the obvious.

"Guys hate to break it to you but the ladies will have to stay," Fred smiled crookedly as the girls gave him very reproachful looks.

"Where my man goes so do I,"

"That goes double for me, who else would keep him warm," Lisa purred stroking her hand up and down his chest.

"She has a point guys, I wouldn't want to freeze without my bed bunnies," Sirius grinned wickedly. Fred and George laughed.

"Don't worry, you won't even noticed that they were gone," Fred reassured them. They glared at him with narrow eyes full of fire.

Fred backed up a bit as he lifted up a piece of candy.

"Peace offering?" Fred grinned at them hopeful.

"No," All four girls shouted.

"Girls it's fine we'll see you later," Sirius told them. They looked at him with big puppy eyes. "I'll make it up to you so much you beg for me to leave again,"

"Anything you say lover," Lisa and Sabrina both gave him lip-bruising kisses before hurrying down the hall with waves to him.

Annie and Sammy looked at Lupin.

"Do we have to lover?" Annie asked softly kissing his cheek.

"You don't want to go without us right baby," Sammy whispered she too kissed his cheek.

"Of course not ladies but for now I'm gonna be hanging out with the guys you girls head off and be ready for my return I'm going to make you both scream," Lupin kissed both girls. They squealed with happiness before taking off down the halls.

"Ok I need some pointers here," Fred said with deep admiration. George nodded in agreement.

"Later let's see what your time looks like," Sirius told him. Lily and Snape looked up at them from the floor.

"What are you talking about their time?" Lily asked her brows knitted together as she looked at them.

"Yeah you two are strange enough without coming up with something so odd," Snape agreed with her.

"Well it's not really odd," George said pulling the time turner out from a pocket. "We had…. Obtained this Time Turner so came back to meet the Marauders'"

"You Lily Evans are a bonus," Fred winked at her.

"Yeah whatever and why would you want to meet them?" Snape pointed at the four boys he could not stand to be around, and even more so hated to have Lily around them.

"We had… became the proud owners of their map," Fred winked at her.

"Map that thing they keep looking at?" Lily asked suddenly interested standing up with Snape.

"Yeah you know about it?" Fred asked amazed.

"I do because I've seen them use it so many times," she pointed out.

Snape didn't look pleased.

"Anyway we're going back to torment Umbridge and Filch,"

"What?" Snape asked stumped by this.

Fred and George explained about their time and what was going on there and how Lily and James were married with a son named Harry that was important, that Snape was indeed a Death Eater and the currant potion teacher there and Umbridge was now at the school as the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher making life terrible for everyone with Filches help.

"You lie, this is just some scam to get Lily away from me," Snape told them furious that they would all gang up on him.

"So if I married James because my Sev becomes a Death Eater, how many children do we have?" Lily asked since she had shared this information with Severus on how many kids she wanted to have.

"Just Harry," George told them softly wondering about this question.

"Ha that proves you lie, Lily wants to have four kids," Snape said triumphantly as he pulled Lily into his arms holding her close to his side.

"How would you know?" James growled at him.

"I told him, how many I want to have, and the names I want for them," Lily blushed since Harry was one of the names she wanted for a son.

"So why does Lily only have one child then?" Lupin asked curiously.

Fred and George looked at each other, not at all pleased with this question.

"Well how come?" James asked feeling a bit worried now, their behavior and the looks on their faces said things were not at all to their likings.

"Harry is called the boy who lived," Fred said miserably.

"WHAT?" four boys yelled as they looked at Fred in horror.

"Are you saying I die young?" Lily asked her green eyes looking horrified.

"I'm sorry Lily, I don't know all the details, but you're sold out to he—who—must—not—be—named,"

Lily gasped in horror as she looked at Severus.

"No, it can't be true, who would…." Lily wrapped her arms around Snape's waist burying her face into his chest.

"Why would someone sell out Lily?" James asked wishing she was cuddled up to him.

"We don't know why but we… know….… it's a friend of yours," George told him sadly.

"No way, no friend of mine would ever sell out Lily, and what about me?" James asked angrily. "You said that she married me, I wouldn't let someone kill her,"

"Like we said we don't know the details but you also die," Fred told him sadly. James looked stunned.

"We both die and our son…" James looked at Lily hurting that she was going to die young with him.

"Which friend does this?" Lupin asked knowing that none of them would ever sell them out as they all looked suspiciously at Snape.

"It's not Snape," George told the four boys they were all giving him a dirty look.

"Of course it wasn't me; I'd never do anything to hurt Lily." Snape snapped at them holding her even tighter. "I love her; she's my whole life,"

"What was that you just said?" A harsh voice spoke up behind the group they turned to see a young man they did not know.

Snape looked behind him he knew that voice it was Avery.

"Hey Avery, what's going on?" Snape asked guarded.

Avery walked toward him glaring at the others.

"What are you doing with them and her?" Avery asked pointing at Lily in his arms.

"I'm arguing with them and Lily is in my arms because she's my girl," Snape told him glaring at him for questioning his choice in girlfriends.

"You have got to be kidding me, she's a Mudblood Severus, come on we have things we were going to do, let's go and leave this trash," Avery pulled on Snape's arm, he yanked his arm back.

"I changed my mind I'm not doing it," Snape told him silkily. Lily looked up at him wondering what it was they were going to do.

"Ah man you can't chicken out now, it's all set, if you back down now you don't know what will or could happen to you,"

"Not a thing so get lost, if you try anything or tell anyone I will take you out," Snape told him the venom in his voice very clear.

Avery looked stunned, "We're best mates and you…... for her?"

"Anything for Lily," Snape told him firmly keeping Lily very close to him.

"But we're all going; how can you not want too?" Avery asked in a whining voice hoping to make him see reason.

"I don't want to because I don't want to lose Lily to Potter or anyone else," Snape told him pointing at James who was looking even more alarmed.

Avery looked at James glaring at him as though it was his fault his friend was not leaving with him.

"You're a disappointment Snape, you'd have done a great job for him we all would have, you blew it boy," Avery turned around huffing off in anger.

"Sev, what was that all about?" Lily asked scared and worried.

"Nothing, it's no big deal," Severus told her his arm holding her tight around the waist.

"You were going to join you-know-who, weren't you?" James asked coldly.

Severus looked around at him glaring at him, hating him for trying to steal Lily away.

"Was, but I never will now," Severus grinned at him, "Thanks Potter for helping me make up my mind on it," Severus looked down at Lily.

"I love you Li, when we can…." Snape looked around at all these guys he did not like before looking back at Lily. "Will you marry me?"

"Oh Sev, you mean that?" Lily asked softly moving her arms around his neck hauling him down to kiss him very passionately.

The six boys though were looking at them in horror.

"Oh no, what have we done?" Fred asked in horror watching his hated teacher and Harry's mother kissing so thoroughly as though trying to absorb each other.

"We… better go… check… if Snape doesn't become….. If they marry instead….."

"Hey wait a moment Lily did you hear that he was going to become a Death Eater, that means you have to dump him," James told her hoping to make her see Snape for what he saw in him.

Lily turned smiling sadly at James, "He was going to but he didn't I said I'd date you and marry you if he did join but now I know in my heart that he won't join," Lily looked up at Snape her eyes full of love for him.

"I never will either no matter what," Snape smiled at her, "You're going to be my wife Lily Evans," Snape kissed her again as James looked on in horror.

"No… no way this can't happen,"

"I think we better head to our time," Fred said softly as George nodded placing the chain around Fred's neck as the other three boys hurried over slipping in under the chain with them James had suddenly grabbed Lily's arm hauling her in with him.

Severus and Peter watched wide-eyed as the five boys and Lily disappeared from sight.
