James Potter sat on his bed with his cousin Fred Weasley sitting next to him. The were grinning identically, staring at the object that James had found when he had broken into his father's office. It was a round object with a gold circle containing an hourglass in the middle. It was obviously a necklace, made clear by the long, linked gold chain connected to the outside circle.

"James! Fred!" yelled their cousin Rose, standing with the door slightly cracked with the rest of their cousins, and James's older god brother, Teddy Lupin. "Aunt Ginny wants you downstairs so she can talk to you about- is that a time-turner?"

She and their cousins stepped further into the room, trying to get a closer look at the object in James's hands. Fred sneaked quickly around them trying to get away from the crowd.

"James! Throw it over here!" he shouted.

"NO, don't!" Teddy called back at James, but James wasn't listening, as always.

He had already thrown the time-turner across the heads of the people in the room, aiming it towards Fred. Fred jumped up to catch it, but he missed it and it crashed into the wall next to the door. Oops, James thought, as the room started to spin.

"What's going on!" James's younger sister Lily called out, but no one gave her a reply.

The room kept going around in circles for a couple minutes before it stopped abruptly. Everyone looked around, trying to make sense of what had just happened, when suddenly everything went black.
