Well. This is where things get interesting.
"Good morning." This time the words don't come out of your mouth, but out of Sirius', making you blink your eyes sleepily. You had fallen asleep last night, just as the sun came up. His eyes were gleaming and a wave of happiness passed over you, remembering everything of yesterday, pouring out your heart to him, and him doing the same. And everything else of course.
"Great morning, more like," you breath and snuggle closer to him, tucking the cloak around you. He hugs you and lays his chin on the top of your head. The sun is not directly over your heads, but it signals that it is already P.M. "We missed lots of classes, I presume," you mutter and look up at him expectingly. He nods and smooths your down, smiling lopsidingly, "Yes, but you looked so peaceful…"
"I never said I was mad about it."
"So are you going to leave then?"
"No. We'll go later."
Everything was still for an hour, just staring at each other, or whispering, or kissing for a tiny bit, softly and sweetly.
You smile finally and start getting up, "We have to go." He groans and flops back, shaking his head and slurring, "I don't wannaaaaa." "Well you'll have to." You say firmly and grab your underwear, slipping it on. He now looks, propping himself up on his elbow, smirking, "Very nice."
You roll your eyes, grinning, while clipping the bra back on. He is drinking everything in, you curves and your bare skin, your disheveled hair. The shirt is buttoned next, then the skirt. He gets up now, rolling upwards and quickly pulling everything on. Your both ready under three minutes, cloaks incredibly wrinkled and dirty, but ready.
Sirius smiles, almost shyly, and takes your hand, pulling you out of the woods. Nobody is out there, except Hagrid who is not paying attention, taking care of the herd of hippogriffs of the Forest. So you run, up the stairs, into the Gryffindor common room after saying the password('Starger'). You dart up the stairs and pull on clean clothes, brushing your hair until it was smooth. You pull on the sapphire jewel as you walk into the room, sitting on the couch. Even though you hadn't eaten breakfast, you weren't hungry.
He walked down afterwards, sitting next to you and putting a long arm across the back. "Sirius, can you tell me the story of the amulet you were telling me about?" Sirius thought for a second and looked you in the eye,
"Once there was a girl. She was the most beautiful girl in the village, simple and kind. But she was never allowed to leave home, because her mother and father believed that everybody would fall in love with her and burn down their house to wed her," you giggle a bit, "and take her away. The girl was beat daily to tray and undermine her beauty, to make the bruises and cuts show in hope that she would be ugly. But each day, she got back up, more beautiful and radiant then the last and withstanded the beatings. That amulet was doing the job, cleaning her every night as she slept, so that the girl was stronger every morning. The amulet was given to her by a beast that lived in a cave, far off. She had found him and helped him regain himself, to which he rewarded her. That was before she was locked up, of course. Her parents found out about the amulet and ripped it off, smashing it into millions of pieces. They beat her again and this time the scars stayed, ugly and prominent on her delicate features. After a month of this she was let out, deemed 'ugly' in their words. But she kept her head held high, and everybody who had once dreamed of marrying her turned away. Except one. The beast. He had been a boy once, transformed by a jealous dark wizard, and left until someone would love him. And the girl did. She had loved him as the beast for being so kind. And he saw her, walking so sadly down the path and ran out of his cave, happy to be able to show her. And she instantly knew it was him, because of his eyes, because of the kindness in them. So, pretty forward but I think I would've, he kissed her and all the scars and bruises went away, and the girl was practically glowing. Her parents were burned for the years of child abuse, ironically, and they lived together for the rest of their lives, happy."
You were staring at the sapphire, rubbing your thumb over it as his lulling voice told the story. The swirls of darker blue, the pinpricks of lighter. He stopped and you didn't notice, just kept rubbing at it, as if it could show you something.
He nuzzled into the crook of your neck and you giggled, pushing him lightly. Then footsteps pounded outside and you looked over your shoulder, at the stream of people now screaming into the common room, laughing and shoving.
Lily stomped towards you and grabbed your arm, lightly but firmly. "Where have you been young lady?! It is lunch time and I have been looking for you!" She glared at Sirius, "You! Black! What have you done to my friend?" He smiled bashfully and responded, "Nothing," then he added, "good." You laughed as Lily looked ready to charge, but James held her back, winking at his friend and nodding at you. Remus skeptically jogged in, followed by Peter of course, glaring at Sirius, "What did you do?" Sirius put his palms up, "Oi, why is everybody blaming me?!" James opened his mouth but a hush fell over everybody in the common room as Professor McGonagell walked in, looking directly at you.
"Miss. L/N, please follow me." You didn't protest, shooting a look at all of the boggled people so that they continued talking. McGonagell led you towards her office, locking the door behind. "Miss. L/N. Please sit down. We have something to discuss." You did, fidgeting with the necklace nervously. McGonagell pulled a box out from a drawer and curtly started, "I understand that only a few days ago it was the full moon," you flinched, "I also understand that you've had a harder time with the transformation then our other werewolf, Remus Lupin. And today you missed an entire day, which I will believe is because of the moon. You miss many a class, but now I must try and help you.
"Now, this is one of three that I have in my possession. So please be catious." She opens the box and pulls out a gold chain, from which is connected a miniature hourglass, surrounded by gold hoops.
She put it in your hand and you stared. "What is this, Professor?" "It is called a Time Turner. It gives you the ability to go back in time to be able to go to your separate classes that you miss. You may start using it tomorrow. Give the sides a click for it to work." The Professor motioned for them and stood up, you doing the same while putting on the Turner.
"You my tell your friends, Y/N, but do not let them use it." She led you out and closed the door with a small click. James pops out from the corner of the next hallway, "She's out!" Everybody walks to you, Lily faster than the rest, but Sirius notices the Time Turner laying beside the amulet, "What is that?"
You quickly explain what McGonagell had said, letting them all think about it for a moment. Sirius touches it lightly and cocks his head to the side, "Why cant we use it? I mean, this could make pranking so much easier! Pranking people five at a time at the same time? No one'll know it's even us!" James started warming up to the idea, suggesting different things and Remus grinned while Peter kept repeating, "Yeah! Y-yeah that's great!" giddily. They kept ranting, making exaggerated hand gestures. You sigh and take off the necklace, dangling it between them, "Can everybody just bloody shut it!?"
"Look, you blokes can't use it because I am trying to not get in trouble right now, okay, and-" Peter suddenly grabs the Turner and says, "Lets do it! C'mon!" You are shocked enough for a second to see him take out his wand, "We could try and go anywhere! To set up other ones!"
Everybody snaps back at the same time, grabbing Peter as his wand sets off the Turner and it clicks.
INTERVENTIONINTERVENTIONINTERVENTION
Groans sound around you and you groan yourself, rubbing your head. "What the hell? When are we?" Somebody sits up next to you in the newfound darkness.
"Y/N? James? Remus?" Sirius says.
"Here."
"Here."
"Here."
"Uhg, here." Lily groans, allowing James to find her and hug her close. Remus finds Peter and Sirius finds you, squeezing your hand. "Why is it so dark? And," Sirius sniffs the air, "smell so familiar?" James sniffs too, ear perking up, "The broom closet! We're in the broom closet!" He reaches for the doorknob and you all tumble out, the light hitting your face. Nobody walked the halls, they were empty and bleak, dark. "Where is everybody?" You mutter and stand up, brushing off your uniform.
Sirius gets up too, raising an eyebrow and looking around. Lily gets pulled up by James just as the green light explodes outside. You jump back, shrieking. Footsteps are pounding, frantic and fast, and you all turn, crashing into other students running in the halls. The leader of them rubs his forehead, muttering sorry and getting up, holding out a hand to help. He was wearing Muggle clothes for some reason, and the girl and other boy behind him too. Then the boy freezes and stumbles back when he sees them through his round glasses, mouth gaping.
"Harry?" The girl asks, turning her head to him, "What's wrong?"
The other boy with hair almost as flaming red as Lily's doesn't say anything, gaping as bad as Harry, turning the girl's head.
Remus steps up, "Yeah, um, hello… What day is it? What year is it?"
The girl widens her eyes and whispers, "M-May second nineteen eighty-eight." Sirius' eyes widen and he slams his palm on his forehead, "Shit."
