CHAPTER 1

Third person

"Pleaseeee, Lily, please please please!" James begged the beautiful red haired girl beside him the next morning at breakfast.

"No James, you have to do your own homework, or you'll never learn anything!" Lily retorted.

"Please! I'll make it worth your while" he said, winking at her and she sighed.

"Ok, fine, but only because I'm feeling nice, don't expect it to happen again." She stood up and flounced out of the great hall. James smirked cockily at the rest of the marauders.

"She says that every time. She loves me really."

"I highly doubt that." A quiet voice whispered behind him. They all spun round to see Severus Snape stood behind them, looking flustered that they had heard him.

"Piss off Snivellus, your Slytherin stench is making us gag." The three other marauders mimicked this and Severus just blinked at them.

"Whatever Potter." He said then walked off.

"What a freak" Sirius said. "I'm surprised that he actually has any friends."

"If Lily heard you saying that, she'd kill you Prongs." Remus said "They're quite close."

"Don't know what she sees in him if I'm honest, Moony. Let's go, I want to get our map from the common room before D.A.D.A" {A/N: Defence against the dark arts, for anyone that doesn't know} The four of them got up from the table, Peter taking a muffin with him. James rolled his eyes, he always ate way too much, and took too much food from the great hall. They got up the the common room, where the old man portrait asked for the password, "Bravery" then let them in. When they stepped in, they were met by Lily and Severus, who were sat on the sofa by the fire. "Eww, what's Snivellus doing here? He's a stupid Slytherin!" Lily glared at him.

"Be nice James, or I won't do your charms essay." James groaned and sent Severus an evil glare. They all rushed up to the boys' dormatory and picked up the map.

"I solemnly swear that I am up to no good." Peter muttered, placing his wand on the parchement. Immediately words sprung onto the once empty paper and it read: 'Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs are proud to present, The Marauder's Map' They opened it to where the Gryffindor common room was, and watched as Lily and Severus stood there for a moment, then Severus left.

"We've got to do something about Snivellus, I can't stand him being with Lily, let alone in the common room. I can't believe she forgave him after he called her a mudblood!" James said angrily.

"Ooooh, is someone jealous?" Sirius taunted jokingly, but James sent him a glare as Remus and Peter sniggered.

"Shut up Padfoot. Which secret passageway should we use to scare first-years today?"

"This one." Remus pointed to one of the passageways on the map, and they all nodded then left the dormatory, James grabbed his invisibility cloak before following them down.

"Ooooh, sweets!" James, Sirius and Remus groaned.

"Wormtail, please, can you think of something other than food for once." Remus complained.

"No really, sweets." Peter pointed to a box of sweets that were on the floor by the sofa. James picked them up.

"Awww, maybe Snivellus left them for you Lils." Lily, who was sat on the sofa rolled her eyes. Sirius picked up the box.

"What are you doing?" Lily asked

"They're sweets, we're not going to just leave them here. Here you have one." Sirius picked one out and gave it to her. She hesitated for a moment, then popped it into her mouth, and the others did the same.

"I don't feel too good." Peter said, and Remus agreed with him.Lily had turned pale and looked like she was about to faint. What was going on?

James' POV

As soon as I had eaten the sweets, I knew that something was wrong. My stomach started churning and my vision became blurry.

"I don't feel too good." I heard Wormtail said in a quiet voice. I suddenly realised that it must have been Snivellus who had left the sweets for THEM. He had always been good at potions, and must have laced the sweets with something to get revenge, knowing that Wormtail would notice them. I clenched my eyes closed, trying to get rid of the nauseous feeling, and I felt a whooshing sensation, that pushed me onto the floor. Within seconds it was over. I opened my eyes carefully. We were still in the common room, but there was someting different about it that I couldn't put my finger on.

"Uh, guys...it wasn't snowing a few minutes ago, was it?" I stood up quickly and ran over to the window where Moony was stood. Snow was falling thickly on an already snow-covered ground. It hadn't been snowing before. "And why does the Daily Prophet say that it's the 12th of December 18 years in the future?" I grabbed the newspaper out of his hands and read the date. Sure enough it showed the date of 18 years in the future. Lily just stood to the side, looking paler than before.

"I bet you anything Snivellus planned this!" I spat angrily.

"Don't call him that James!" Lily shouted at me.

"We should go to the head's office. Do you suppose that Dumbledore is still headmaster?" Moony wondered out loud. We all agreed and made our way to the head's office. "What do you suppose the password is?" Moony asked as they stood infront of the stone gargoyle.

"Sherbet Lemon." We all spun round to face three students. The one that had spoken had black scruffy hair, and piercing green eyes, and his two friends were stood on either side of him. If he hadn't had green eyes, he could have easily been James' twin. They had the same nose, same glasses and even the same hair where it stuck up at the back. The girl had curled brown hair, with matching brown eyes, and the other boy had red hair and blue eyes. "I'm guessing you're new students, right?" We all nodded. "I'm Harry. Harry Potter." I gaped at him disbelievingly, and I could tell that the rest of my friends were doing the same. The three of them laughed and Harry kept talking. "This is Hermione Granger," he pointed to the brown haired girl on his left, "and this is Ron Weasley." He pointed to the redhead to his right.

"I'm James P...Matthews." I thought quickly, giving myself a fake name.

"Daniel Martin." Padofoot said, following me with the fake name.

"Lizzie Brook." Lily said timidly.

"Ben Johnson." Moony said. Wormtail just sqeaked nervously and I thought of a name quickly that he could use.

"And he's Zach Blackburn, he just gets nervous around new people," I explained carefully. "so what year are you in?"

"We're fifth-years!" Hermione said cheerfully.

"Same!" Moony said excitedly.

"Great, so we'll see you in class. See you later." Harry and his two friends walked away down the corridor and disappeared out of sight.

"Bloody hell Prongs, you have a son!" Moony pointed out.

"That you do Mr Potter, however, it would not be smart to go shouting that out." We all spun around and came face to face with none other than Dumbledore.

"Professor Dumbledore? You're still headmaster?" Dumbledore chuckled and ushered them into his office.

"Indeed I am." He sat down on the opposite side of his desk to us. "I am aware of how you got here and who you five are."

"How?" I asked, feeling slightly confused.

"Ah, well Mr Potter, when you returned from mysteriously disappearing in your fifth year, you came to me explaining that on this exact date, you five would appear out of no where from the past, due to some sweets that Severus had tricked you into eating." He chuckled slightly and I scowled at him. "Anyway, it explained that you would be spending the remainder of your fifth-year here until I found out a way to reverse the effects, so you can go back to your own time. You will be enrolled into this school, using the names that you made up out there."

"But professor, what house will we be in?" Moony asked and I mentally facepalmed. What an idiot.

"We'll be in Griffindor Moony, obviously! Did you leave your brains behind when we time travelled?" Wormtail snorted with laughter as Moony stayed silent.

"Yes, you will be in Gryffindor, and I'd advise you not to tell anyone who you really are, it could be quite...disturbing for many people."

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Anyway, here are your timetables." Dumbledore carried on, ignoring my question. I looked down at the piece of paper that he had given me.

"SNIVELLUS TEACHES POTIONS?! There's no way I'm letting him teach me! I'd rather have my eyes poked out with sharp sticks! Although, knowing HIM that'll probably be one of his punishments." The other three laughed, but Dumbledore and Lily glared sternly at me.

"I want you to treat Professor Snape with respect, instead of giving him a hard time, like I know you liked to do to him as a boy. Off you go and TRY not to get into any trouble."

"You might as well give us a months detention now, save you the trouble later." Dumbledore sighed.

"Go. And give Professor Snape this letter explaining who you are and why you're late."

"And when you say 'Who you are,' you mean our fake names?" I asked and Dumbledore nodded. "Fine, come on guys." We all left and headed down to Potions. This could actually be quite fun.
