--September 1st, 2015

Seventeen-year-old Teddy Lupin was running around his godfather's house, trying to finish packing before heading off to his final year at Hogwarts. His cousin, James, would be joining him this year. Now that would be interesting!

"Teddy? Are you almost ready to go?" his godmother, Ginny, called from down the stairs.

"Yeah! Just give me a second!" he shouted, annoyed. Not so much at Ginny but at himself. Why hadn't he done this last night? He hurriedly stuffed the remainder of his school supplies into his dad's old trunk and levitated it down the stairs, ignoring the annoyed look Harry gave him.

"What? I'm of age!" Teddy objected loudly when Harry didn't look away. Harry looked like he was about to explode, but Ginny and eight-year-old Lily cam in the room, placating Harry. Albus followed closely behind them, leaving the only one missing being James.

Harry called up the stairs for James, who was apparently trying to locate a missing sock. His dad sighed and went up to help him.

"Teddy," Lily squealed, escaping from her mother's grasp and running at Teddy full speed. He gently scooped her off the ground and cradled her in his arms.

"Hey, Red," he said, using the nickname he'd given her in accordance with her hair.

"Do the nose, Teddy!" she requested and he automatically adjusted his appearance to that of a pig. Ginny grinned from the other side of the room, greatly reminded of Tonks.

"Okay," Harry said, arriving with James. "Everybody ready?"

The Great Hall was already packed by the time Teddy arrived and sat down at the Gryffindor table. Within seconds he was surrounded by both friends and admirers. He recounted the monotonous drone that was his summer to those that would listen, but it wasn't long until he was forced to stop mid-sentence. The crowd around him quickly cleared as they saw who was staring at.

"Hey Teddy, how are you?" Victoire Weasley greeted as she sat down across from him, even though she belonged at the Ravenclaw table.

"Uh, g—good," Teddy stuttered. Normally he could control that particularly bad habit around her, but when she surprised him like that—!

Well, she is part Veela, he thought to console himself. Never mind the fact that he had spent tons of time with her. They were practically family! Only two years apart, Harry, Ginny, Bill and Fleur had insisted on them spending ample time together.

No, the stuttering had only been going on for about two years now and he knew very well what it meant. Not that he'd ever admit it to anyone…

Victoire was talking and he knew he should pay attention, but her long blonde hair was so distracting. Oh crap, she was waiting for an answer.

"Um," he said nervously.

"If I could have your attention please," Professor McGonagall said from the front of the Great Hall.

"I'll talk to you later, Teddy," Victoire said as she got up and headed for her own table. Her spot was immediately taken by Teddy's best friend, Caden Jones.

"Hey mate, what's—?"

"Shh!" Teddy hissed; he had just spotted James in the lineup of first years. Teddy remembered back to his sorting, how nervous he'd been. James was far from nervous. He was trying to hold a conversation with the speechless girl next to him, but it was turning out rather one-sided. Teddy couldn't help but laugh.

The sorting passed in slow monotony and Teddy found himself tuning until he was abruptly shaken out of his stupor by the familiar name.

"Potter, James."

James stepped forward eagerly and shoved the hat down on his own head, ignoring Professor McGonagall's scowl. The hall was quiet as they all waited for the sorting hat's decision.

"Gryffindor!"

Teddy cheered with the rest of Gryffindor house and watched as James went to sit next to his cousin, Fred Weasley, who gave him a big high five. Teddy couldn't help but grin at the thought of all the trouble those two were going to cause.

After the feast was over, Teddy and Caden quickly made their way back to the Gryffindor Tower. Teddy because he didn't want to have to answer whatever Victoire had asked him earlier, and Caden because his girlfriend told him to meet her in the common room after the feast.

A start-of-term party was already under way when they walked in, courtesy of Owen Wood. Caden eagerly joined in the celebration, but Teddy, already tired, headed for his dormitory which was, thankfully, empty.

Teddy decided to use the alone time to unpack his trunk. He was half way done when he noticed a small metallic object at the bottom of his trunk. He quickly picked it up.

It was a silver ring, emblazed with the Gryffindor coat of arms. Almost like a class ring. He barely had time to register this, however, when he felt a jerk around his navel and everything went black.

--September 1st, 1977

The marauders were sitting in their dormitory, slightly drunk, and reminiscing about the past seven years.

"I can't believe this is our last year, guys," Sirius said around the cauldron cake he was stuffing in his mouth.

"I know," Remus said with a sigh, slightly more sober than the rest of them.

"And I still haven't slept with Evans," James joked, earning him a harsh look from Remus and a laugh from Peter.

"It's your year, mate," Sirius said confidently. They continued to pass the bottle of firewhiskey around until eventually everyone but Remus was completely wasted.

"I've got an idea," Sirius said, jumping up to fast and almost falling down again. He took his class ring off of his hand and laid in on his open palm. "The perfect prank!"

"What is it, Padfoot?" James said, also leaping to his feet. He over balanced and knocked him and Sirius back down to the ground. Remus couldn't help but laugh at his friends. James and Sirius were drunk beyond belief and Peter was passed out on the floor. Transfiguration was going to be fun tomorrow.

"We bewitch this ring!" he said ecstatically and James began laughing and couldn't stop. Sirius continued, "We turn it into a portkey! If anyone besides us ever touches it, it will transport them straight to this place and time!" Remus just nodded encouragingly as James continued to laugh. He felt like he was baby sitting five-year-olds.

Sirius began to raise his wand and Remus knew he had to step in.

"Padfoot, no! You can't experiment with time-travel spells. That's just cruel!" Sirius however didn't seem to be listening and tapped the ring with his wand. A bright light issued from it. Even drunk, Sirius Black got the spell perfectly.

Sirius then began laughing hysterically and in only a few minutes his snores joined with James's and Peter's. Knowing that they wouldn't remember anything in the morning, Remus took the ring out of Sirius's hand and threw it into his own trunk. Nobody would come across it there—Remus would have to remember to destroy it.

Suddenly the room was filled with a blinding flash of light, but none of the others stirred. The light dimmed and in its place stood a tall boy of seventeen.

Teddy Lupin appeared in the room, frightened beyond belief. Where was he? And then he saw the other person in the room—a man he'd only seen in pictures. Teddy quickly changed his appearance so that he didn't resemble his dad.

"Who are you?" Remus asked, stumbling over the words.

"Teddy…Tonks," he replied, choosing to use his mother's surname.

"What year are you? In, I mean. I mean, what year do you come from?"

Teddy was pretty sure the answer was going to freak him out a bit. "2015."

"Oh my god," Remus said, shocked, staring into the trunk where the ring was seconds before. It was gone. Teddy held it out for Remus to examine. Remus was quiet for a while until his anger took over.

"I am going to kill you, Sirius Black!"
