The three teenagers slumped up the stairs of Grimmauld Place, pulling their large trunks with immense displeasure. The first, a perfect reincarnation of Harry Potter, sighed as he pulled his trunk behind him. The carpet that covered the stairs was tearing away and the wooden railing was covered in a light layer of dust.

"I really hate this place sometimes." He muttered to his friends.

"At least you only have to stay here for half of the summer." The red-headed girl shrugged. "You get to stay at Hogwarts and your other place the rest of the time."

"Rose, you're not helping." Albus Potter muttered. "I really wish we didn't have to come here at all! I don't get why Dad and Mum love it so much!"

"It's better than my Grandparents' place…" Said the third teenager, a blonde boy with a pointed face. "Sometimes I swear the artwork was chosen to scare you."

The two cousins laughed at their friend's words.

"You should have seen a portrait that used to be here, Scorp." Rose giggled. "She used to scream every time someone walked past her.

"Rose, we promised that we would never utter a word about Mrs Black again." Albus shuddered, causing his friends to chuckle.

Once they had reached the appropriate landing, the friends set off to their respective rooms to put away their trunks. Albus and Scorpius reached their room, sighing in relief as they dumped their trunks next to their beds.

"Finally!" Albus groaned. "No more stupid trunk-pulling until School starts! I wish they'd let us do magic outside of school earlier than 17."

Scorpius nodded in agreement as he flopped onto his bed.

Rose soon joined the two in the bedroom, plopping herself on the end of Scorpius' bed.

"Have you two read through the school-books yet?" She questioned.

The silence from the two boys answered her question.

"We're going into fourth year!" She exclaimed. "Before you know it we'll be doing our OWLS! Scorpius, I thought you AT LEAST would have looked over them."

"Oi!" The blonde protested. "Why me?"

"Because you're in Ravenclaw!" Rose argued.

"Don't remind me!" Scorpius buried his face into the pillow.

"What am I then, chopped liver? Don't you expect better out of Gryffindors?" Albus asked.

Rose rolled her eyes. "I'm just saying, that as Ravenclaws, Scorpius and I are expected to study more."

"Whatever you say, Red." Scorpius mumbled into his pillow.

Rose narrowed her eyes at the distasteful nickname.

"Scorpion." She countered.

"Weasel." Scorpius joked, pulling himself up into a sitting position.

"Ferret!" Rose muttered.

"Will you two stop… whatever you guys call this? I'm not sure if it's fighting or flirting." Al groaned.

Both Scorpius and Rose flushed a bright shade of red.

"You know I have my eye on someone else, Al, I wasn't flirting with Scorp." Rose said hurriedly.

"If you say so, cuz. Come on, let's go to the sitting room." Al suggested. "Dad said there are some old boxes we can sort through."

"Great." Rose said sarcastically as they made their way to the door. "Cleaning…"

"It should be interesting, Dad said they were from when his godfather, Sirius, was living here." Al smirked.

"Cleaning ancient stuff, makes it so much better." The sarcasm did not lift from Rose's tone.

Albus rolled his eyes and led his best friend and his cousin into the sitting room. The three collapsed on the floor in front of a box. Al immediately removed the box's lid. A musky scent filled the air and Scorpius let out a cough.

The three each reached into the box and took out the item that caught their eye.

Rose smiled down at some photographs. "Look Al," she said as she shuffled through them. "It's of your Grandad and Sirius… I think that's Teddy's Dad as well."

"Let me see!" A voice called from the doorway.

The trio looked up to see a currently blue-haired Teddy Lupin. Rose flushed a light pink as she held the photos out for Teddy. Scorpius frowned at them. Teddy took the photos from Rose and smiled.

"I've seen a few photos of him," He said thoughtfully. "Never ones where he was this young."

The three friends looked sadly at the man in his twenties. The room chirped with silence as Teddy tried to imitate his father's hairstyle. Fortunately, the awkward silence was short-lived when two more teenagers happily barged into the room.

"Teddy!" Squealed a twelve year old Lily Potter as she ran up to him.

The metamorphmagus quickly shoved the photos into his pocket to embrace the girl.

"Hey Lil." He smiled.

Lily hugged him tighter, smiling happily to herself.

"Get off him, midget." Said a teasing voice from behind. "I want a hug too."

Lily pulled away so that her oldest brother could hug his favourite "cousin".

James Potter had idolised Teddy Lupin growing up. He had been the older brother he had always wanted. However, no matter how hard he tried, even Teddy could not keep James out of mischief. James could never understand why his parents named him after two of the biggest troublemakers, yet still punished him when he did his own trouble-making.

"How's Vic?" James whispered in his ear.

"She's good, James."

"So you two…?" James said mischievously. Even Teddy could hear the smirk in his voice.

"James, learn to keep your beak out of other people's business." Teddy rolled his eyes.

The two pulled away from their brotherly hug.

"When'd you get here?" James asked. "Mum and Dad only just told us."

"Not long ago." Teddy laughed before turning to Al, Scorpius and Rose. "What are you guys doing?"

"Looking though some old stuff." Scorpius said. "We're s'posed to be sorting it, but it's bloody interesting." He laughed as an ancient vase changed colour depending on which hand he was holding it in.

Teddy raised an eyebrow. "Bloody interesting, you've been hanging out with Uncle Ron too long. That's a surprise"

"Hey, what's this?" Al frowned as he inspected a small silver pouch.

"Give it here!" James said as he lunged forward.

Al reluctantly gave James the pouch. The oldest Potter sibling quickly opened it and pulled out an oddly shaped necklace.

"Be careful with that." Teddy warned as he and Lily approached the group. "It looks like a time-turner, we were taught about them in auror training."

"I thought they were all destroyed?" Rose bit her lip.

"Evidently not, Weasel." Scorpius said from beside her.

"Don't call her Weasel, Scorpion." James warned before tossing the time turner to Al and searching the pouch. "Hey, there's a piece of paper in here!"

"Give it!" Rose said, snatching the letter from her cousin's grasp and unfolding it.

"What's it say?" Lily asked as she watched her cousin frown while she scanned her eyes over the letter.

"To the Dark Lord," Rose read aloud, causing the group to gasp. "This is the item that you have requested. I…"

Rose was cut off by the sound of glass smashing on the wooden floorboards.

"Whoops." Al breathed.

"Albus…" Teddy gasped, reaching forward in an attempt to sweep the remains of the time turner away from the group.

The other five leapt to their feet, but their world was already spinning into nothingness.
