Chapter twelve

Harry (2017)

We were all having a good lunch when Kreacher comes in looking panicked "master, mistress, Kreacher saw young masters, young mistress and their cousins/friends disappear in a black smoke." "What?" everyone on the table shout. We pay the bill and immediately apparate to Potter Manor. I saw the living room surrounded by black smoke and look at Mione. The last time we saw that smoke was in 1994. I feared that James had found the time turner and somehow sent everyone back or ahead in the future.

"Mione, if you are thinking the same as I am, we need to call everyone here?" What's going on Tori asks me "dear, James must have found the time turner and sent everyone to Merlin knows where."

"WHAT. HARRY JAMES POTTER. ARE YOU TELLING ME THAT JAMES SOMEHOW SNUCK INTO YOUR OFFICE AND STEAL THE TIME TURNER? THE OFFICE OF THE HEAD OF MAGICAL LAW ENFORCEMENT?" she shouts making me nearly deaf. Mione confronts her while glaring at me. "Kreacher, take Har and Leo to Har's room and keep them safe." I tell the elf and he leaves with both boys.

Suddenly, the fireplace comes to life and everyone we have called starts coming. "What's wrong mate? Mione did not tell anything." George asks. I told them everything and Junior tries to go into the room. I see him and warned "Junior, stay out of the room."

Suddenly, I remembered the necklace I gave to Lily after the incident and took out the other part of the necklace I always wore. Tori looked at me and then remembered. I activated the chain hoping that Lily could answer. When the chain was activated from the other side, "Lily, are you okay, where are you?" I ask her. "Lily is fine Uncle Harry." I;m relieved to hear Ted's voice.

"Teddy, thank Merlin you are here. Where did everyone go?" "The question you should be asking is where are we?" "WHAT?" an ear-piercing voice filled the room and everyone covered their ears. "Dear, please calm down." I try to calm Tori down. "When are you?" "In Grimmauld's in 1995." Was the reply and everyone in the room paled. It was not a great year for all of us. "Great. Tell me how you all ended up there?" Teddy told everyone everything that happened. I could see Tori getting angry "Teddy, tell everyone to cover their ears." I warn him and everyone in the room covers their ears to protect them from Tori's loud noise.

"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER, WHAT DID YOU, FRED AND SCORP DO? PUTTING EVERYONE IN DANGER ESPECIALLY AS IT'S 1995. WHEN YOU RETURN, YOU ARE GROUNDED TILL YOU ARE EIGHTEEN AND TILL CHRISTMAS BREAK ENDS; YOU WILL BE LOCKED IN YOUR ROOM WITH NO VISITORS, PRANKING SUPPLIES, NO OWL AND NO MARAUDER'S MAP. IF YOU THINK YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH THE CLOAK, IT WILL BE WITH US TILL YOU ARE EIGHTEEN. GOT IT?" My wife can be scary when she's angry and everyone gulped not wanting to make her angrier.

I start "Teddy, have you told everything to everyone in the room?" "We were in the middle of that." Teddy replies "Good, finish up. Mione told me that it will two days before we get the time turner and bring you all home. Stay safe till then." "AND DON'T CAUSE TROUBLE JAMES." Tori shouted at him and I hurriedly cut the call to hug her and calm her down.

It's not easy being the parents of troublemakers. How did my grandparents and Minnie get through the Marauders and the weasley twins still remains a mystery to me.

The doors opened and my sisters walk in with their families. They go to the worried mothers while Charlie approaches me and the other men. "Kreacher told us something big had happened but he wouldn't tell us." I told him everything and then my older sister Sev comes and slaps me "oww... why did you slap me?" "For not making your wards strong enough for James." She replies. My nieces and nephews went out of the room and before I could warn them about the living room, they disappeared in the smoke. Great, now Sev and Harriet will kill me.
