Chapter 8

"Hello Sir, we're here," Fred grinned at Dumbledore.

"Boys I'm so relieved to see you, is it true you went back in time?" Dumbledore asked desperately.

"Yeah we did, we wanted to have some fun and meet the Marauders," Fred explains sheepishly.

"Marauders," Dumbledore looked at them in wonder.

"That was what we had called ourselves in school sir," James answered his questioning look. Dumbledore looked over at him his blue eyes twinkling for once.

"Ah I understand, but now that you see what trouble you have caused we need to get you back in time to prevent your selves from starting up the trouble."

"I understand sir, we can do that right now, anything to keep this future from starting up," George said revolted.

"But what about Lily, does that mean…." Severus looked stricken with the idea of losing her to James but felt worse losing her to death. He was very torn.

"That you have to join the Death Eaters and not marry her yes," James snapped at him.

Snape glared at him, "there has to be a way that I can still have Lily and not have her die young or married to him," Snape pointed an angry finger at James.

"Gentlemen please, right now it seems that Lily dies no matter who she is with, we cannot stop that from happening, nor should we stop her from having her son Harry, we need to have him in this life if we are to prevent Voldermort from taking over," Albus told them reasonably.

"What happens why does Lily leave me?" Snape asked looking at the twins.

"We don't know why, we just know she is married to James," George told him honestly. He really wished he had learned more about Harry's parents.

"Also a friend of theirs betrays them to Voldermort," Fred said amazed by his own daring in saying the name Voldermort.

"That is something important do you know who it is?" Dumbledore asked sounding hopeful.

"Ummm Peter," George said sadly. James, Sirius, Remus and Snape looked stunned by this.

"Peter betrays us to the Dark Lord?" James asked stunned. "He keeps saying he loves me why would he betray me to the Dark Lord?"

"Yeah but we don't know much beyond that," Fred told him only knowing that little bit from Harry's third year at school.

"Ok then think men is there anything that happens in your past that might have been different had you joined the Death Eaters?"

The men looked thoughtful for several minutes.

"Lily would have married me instead of Severus," James said automatically.

"I'd probably have been a spy for Voldermort, since that is what we had talked about before when we had gone to see him about joining him. When I learned that Lily had no desire for me to join I didn't do it, I wanted to make her happy." Severus was looking at Dumbledore he didn't want to see James's face right now.

"Snape becomes the Potion teacher here, although he's a sour old grump, who gives detention to everyone not in Slytherin house," George didn't look pleased, Dumbledore looked amused.

"It seems that this revolves around Lily and her love of you two men, I know it's hard Severus but we need to see what happens when she has a son with James,"

Severus looked as though he'd prefer to not learn what would happen.

"But why did Peter?"

"I can tell you that," Sirius said with disgust, "Peter is in love with James, he has been for years, the thing is that James never showed an interest in him, no matter what he does to get his attention,"

"Could that be a reason he betrays you?" Lupin asked worried.

"It could be, if he thought he could get rid of Lily, and have James that way," Dumbledore agreed as he looked at Fred and George.

"You boys had better leave here right away, James go with them they will be safer with your presence there, and boys get back quickly," Dumbledore, Sirius and Severus, left the darken hall with James leaving through the hidden door with the twins.

They walk through the halls as they hear Peter shuffling toward them.

"James, there you are, I need to see you right away please hurry," Peter tugged on James arms pulling him away as he glared at him.

James looked over his shoulder mouthing to them, "I'll be right back," The twins nodded as they walked on they stopped though as they heard voices they recognized.

"So where did you say you found this Mudblood?" A soft sneer reached them from around the corner as the twins peeked around the corner to see their brother Ron holding a terrified Hermione tightly by the arms.

"I was out… having a spot of fun when I found her wandering in the woods, I thought it'd be fun to see how long she lasts, maybe even have some other fun with her," Ron laughed cruelly as Hermione whispered softly.

"Please let me go, I believe you now, I just want to leave," Hermione said terrified as the four boys laughed at her.

"Leave a Mudblood running around not a chance they have to be taken care of," all four boys laughed even more cruelly. Ron pushed her down the halls.

"We gotta save her from them," Fred whispered horrified what his little brother was like here in this time frame.

"We sure do," George and Fred followed after them. They walked quickly behind them with the other four in tow.

They walked down the hall far enough back to not be seen what they did see, made their blood boil. Ginny was more than half undressed by Zacharias Smith he had his pants down around his ankles.

"What is she doing?" Fred asked horrified.

"Looks like sex too me," Sirius said watching the young girl getting it on in the halls. He was surprised that no teacher was bearing down on them for not at least hiding in a closet.

"But that's our little sister," George said horrified as well.

"Wow the time line was really changed if she isn't like that at your time," Sirius told him wondering what his little brother was like.

"She better not be," Fred grumped watching the two become even more active

"Well come on we can't deal with both of them right now and that girl could be getting raped or killed," James younger self told them.

"Probably both," they hurried off down the hall, while Fred sends a hairy hex at them both.

Fred was displeased to see that this was not stopping his little sister as they continued on having sex in the halls. He really didn't like this future his little sister was not the sweet girl of their time.

Fred and George ran from the school looking around the grounds they saw no one but figured that they would go to the Forbidden Forest. They hurried on down there when they noticed the small hut that Hagrid lived in seemed unused and in disrepair as they ran on by the house they wondered when Hagrid was killed.

Sirius, James, Remus and Lily were still under the disillusionment charm; while they ran down the grassy slope Sirius hit both twins on their heads again.

"What was that for?" Fred asked curiously.

"They are looking for you; to keep you from righting this mess," he shrugs as though it was very obvious.

"Oh yeah right," Fred grinned brightly. He kinda liked the wanted part it made him feel like more of a rebel.

"Lily, are you ok?" James asked taking her hand in his.

"No I'm bloody not alright, I'm going to die young, either before I leave school or after I leave school and all because of Peter," she sounded very distraught.

"I don't want you to die either Lily, but at least we do have a son who stops Voldermort," James hoped to inject a small positive note.

"But what happens to him, who takes care of him hmmm can you answer that?" she asked him feeling on the edge of hysterical.

"Yes," George said since James looked stumped.

"Who?" Lily asked curious despite herself.

"Your sister, Harry's aunt she and some beefy guy with a pig like looking kid raise him, he hates it too,"

Lily looked horrified.

"My son is raised by my sister and some beefy guy?" Lily looked like she would cry at any moment. She looked around for a moment before speaking softly.

"I think, I'm going to be sick," Lily moved away to some bushes getting violently sick in them. James had walked over holding back her long hair. The others waited while wondering how it would feel to be told you die young no matter what.

The others waited for Lily to regroup; they did have to admit it looked odd to see someone tossing their cookies while they had a disillusionment charm on them.

The two walked back over Lily was breathing heavily.

"I'm ok now," Lily, told them in a soft dignified voice. "Let's go save that girl," she walked resolutely into the woods the boys all hurrying after her. It did not take long to hear Hermione pleading for them to leave her alone.

"You're a Mudblood we play with it then dispose of it, but don't worry no, one will know," Ron laughed harshly along with Crabbe and Goyle.

"I didn't do anything to you please just leave me alone," Hermione asked tearfully. Ron laughed cruelly ripping the front of her shirt away.

"Let's see what develops with Mudbloods,"

"That slimy little snot," James raised his wand sending a gagging hex at Ron. The effect was immediately he started to gag choke grasping at his throat. The two large boys looked at a loss for what to do.

"Glad they are just as stupid here as they are in our reality," Fred remarked glaring hatefully at the two thuggish boys.

"I think they need more than that to teach them a lesson," The coldness in her voice sent shivers down their spine. Lily waved her wand at the three boys, "Shrikadics," Lily grinned pleased; they looked at them seeing nothing going on with them.

"What did you do?" Lupin asked curiously since he could see nothing obvious.

Lily grinned waving her wand to cause their pants to fall to the ground showing that they all now had half an inch dick.

The boys had to slap their hands over their mouths to keep from laughing. Hermione seemed to have forgotten her fear for a moment looking down smirking at their size.

"What the hell is going on," Goyle was looking scared.

"How did you do that, where did you get a wand?" Ron screamed at her the gagging spell had worn off.

"I don't have a stick," Hermione promptly told them.

"Fine let's just screw her and kill her, I hate being in these woods," Goyle said looking around fearfully after pulling his pants up.

"Sounds like a plan,"

"I don't think so little bro," Fred hit him with a spell that knocked him over several times to hit the base of a tree very hard.

James and Sirius both hit Crabbe and Goyle with their own spells causing them to grow feelers all over that started to scratch them very hard causing the boys to scream in pain.

"Come on Hermione," George said softly to her.

"Er I hear and kinda see you, I think," Hermione reached out touching George on his chest.

"How do you do that?" Hermione was fascinated with this magic.

"I'm a wizard, you're a witch but this time lines a bit… out of whack right now, so let's get you to your parents,"

They listen as Hermione explained where they were. They hurried through the woods to the gates.

"Ok go through here, go left not right keep going until you see your parent's car,"

"Thank you so much," Hermione kissed George softly she found it interesting to kiss a guy who wasn't all there.

"Way to go George, fall in love with her now," Fred chuckled.

"Shut up," George grinned pleased. The six of them hurried to the front doors of the castle.

"Maybe I'll ask her out when we get back to our time," George mused pleased.

They were half way to the doors when they heard her speaking softly.

"Let's go back to our time," Lily's voice sounded very cold.

"Er what are you planning?" Fred asked in a, would be casual voice while they made their way back across the lawn to the castle.

"Rat hunting," Lily replied in the same cold voice.

They all laughed over this, it was Lupin though who spoke the obvious. "But what if this makes it worse?"

"What if it makes it better," Lily retorted angrily, "Either way I die, young well I don't want too. If taking Peter out will give me my son and other children a life it's a small price to pay,"

The boys stepped back from her fierceness, "Well maybe these two can go ahead of time and see what happens, if Peter uh dies?"

"We could do that, I wouldn't mind at all," Fred told them they made it to the front doors of the castle.

"Aren't you scared Lily?"

She looked over at Sirius, "I'm terrified, but that won't stop me," Lily smiled softly, "Are you not scared?"

"Hell no a spot of danger sounds like fun how about you Prongs," Sirius was grinning his award winning smirk that made the girls flock to him.

"Only thing that scares me is Peter wanting my butt," James grumped. The others all laughed.

"At least it's a cute butt," Lily chuckled. James was extremely pleased with this compliment.
