Ch.1 The Time Turner
Lily Evans was talking to her best friend April at breakfast on the morning of April 11 the day started out as every other day. When the mail came the students of Hogwarts got their usual letters, what was different was that an owl dropped off a package in front of Lily.
"Who's it from?" April asked. April was Lily's best friend and had always been since they were little. They were both delighted when they got their letters to Hogwarts. When they came to Hogwarts they meet Jacqueline an unstable but kind girl with strawberry blond hair and sapphire colored eyes. The three had become inseparable from the time when they were all sorted in Griffindor. Even though they had many similar personalities, they looked completely different. Lily had long red hair and beautiful green eyes, April had always been jealous of Lily's green eyes even though April had light brown hair and reddish-brown eyes.
"It's from my cousin, it's a little early for my birthday I wonder what it is." Lily started to unwrap the small package and gasped at what it was. "Look she sent me a time turner." She picked up the card and read out loud, "Lily, Happy birthday! I saw this and I had to get for you're birthday. The reason I bought it so early was because the Ministry is trying to get these recalled soon. Happy Birthday!" Lily laughed and said, "leave it to her to buy me something that would soon be banned."
(A/N- I wrote that because in the third book, the time turner had to be ordered)
"Are you going to use it?" April asked and then added, "Because I could think of some people who would love to control time."
"You don't control time with it, you just go back in time," Lily corrected.
"Same thing."
"Hey, morning, how come you guys didn't wait for me?" Said Lily and April's friend, Jacqueline.
"Because you were still sleeping." April said.
"You could have woken me up. Hey what's that?" She asked looking at the time turner as she sat down.
While Lily and April explained to Jacqueline what a time tuner is, James, Sirius, and Remus where at the other end of the table discussing what to do for the day because Peter is sick in the hospital wing after their last adventure; "Sirius, Sirius!" James said, "Remus, he's daydreaming again."
"I am not." Sirius said finally snapping out of it.
"What was it this time?" Remus asked.
"Do you have to ask," James said sighing, "He's always staring at the same person."
"Who?"
"April, Lily's friend," James said while he pointed out the brunette girl to Remus. "I wish it was someone else because if he ever goes out with her, April, Jacqueline and Lily would be with us the whole time."
"What's wrong with that?" Sirius asked while staring at April again.
"You know why, " James, said, "I've always hated Lily ever since first year."
Remus remembered although no one knows exactly why, It seemed that Lily Evans and James Potter would never get along. Once, they were assigned partners in potions class, it had started to be another boring class but then Remus had heard arguing and then a splash, When he looked over at the source of the noise he saw Lily and James covered in the potion they were making. Apparently they never forgot that episode even though; they were now in their seventh year. Of course there were many more occurrences in several other classes. By the end of first year all the teachers had learned to never partner Lily and James again.
"Sirius, just ask her out, I don't know why you're stalling, you never stalled when it comes to asking girls out before," James mentioned. "Oh my God, could it be, is are little Sirius in love?" James said in a mocking tone. "Or is she the only girl in our year that you didn't snog?" James and Remus laughed at James' joke while Sirius just stared at April who was now laughing at one of Jacqueline's many blond moments.
"Padfoot, just ask her out," Remus said in a reassuring voice. "Come on what's the worst she'll say?"
"She could say no," Sirius said miserably.
"Well, you'll get over it, come on, give it a try," James said.
"If it would make you shut up then fine, I'll ask her," Sirius said heatedly as he walked to where April was sitting.
"He must really be in love or something, because that is the first time I ever saw him like that," James said while eating a piece of toast.
"Oh damn," Lily said, "I forgot something. I'll be right back." Then she stood up and walked out of the Great Hall.
"April, could I talk to you for a minute?" Sirius said trying not to sound nervous. "In private."
"Um sure, " April said while she followed him out of the hall.
Jacqueline, being really nosy got up and followed them with James and Remus right behind her. She saw April and Sirius talking in hushed voices and she took a step back and collided with Remus. Remus then gave her and James a signal to follow him. He led them to a secret passage that took them to the top of the stairs. The three crept as close as they could to April and Sirius without being caught.
"What do you want Sirius?" They heard April say with confusion.
"I…I just wanted to ask you a question," Sirius said to April.
Oh that's original, James thought. Just then they heard a noise behind them. Lily had just turned the corner and spotted James, Remus, and Jacqueline.
"What…" Lily had just started to say but stopped when she saw what they were doing. She said to herself, oh, they're spying on April and, is that Sirius? I'm so confused!
Just when Sirius was about to ask April out, he saw a group of people spying on them. "What are you guys doing up there?" He asked when he found out who was in that group.
"Nothing," Jacqueline said innocently, "What makes you think we're doing something?" Everyone rolled their eyes. James, Remus, Jacqueline, and Lily started to walk down the staircase. Just then Lily's hands slipped and dropped the time tuner she was holding. It bounced off the top step, and rolled down the long staircase. She tried to grasp it, but it just bounced out of the way, she raced down the stairs after it. The time turner then rolled across the floor. James who was closest went to pick it up. Lily was close behind and reached it at the same time as James. Their hands touched the time turner at the same time. Suddenly, everything was going blurry; all Lily could see was James and the time turner.
April screamed in horror as she and everyone else saw Lily and James disappear.
"Where the hell did they go?" Sirius yelled, "and what where they holding?"
"It was Lily's time turner," April said stunned.
"But that means," Remus said," that Lily and James are now in the…"
"Past," Jacqueline finished.
