The Burning of a New Flame

"Hey, guys!" Sirius Black called. Sirius was a 16 year old boy with shoulder length hair, also quite muscled. For once though, he was actually in the library.

The only one out of the four Marauders that went into the library was Remus Lupin. A sandy haired male with very tired brown eyes. He looked up. "Found something already, Padfoot?" he asked. Sirius shook his head. "I really don't care about Herbology." he replied. "James? Peter?" he shouted again.

Soon, Madam Pince who was the very strict school librarian came running. She glared at the boys and whispered harshly "Will you four please keep your voices down?" Remus nodded guiltily and Sirius just rolled his eyes. "Can't even keep quiet…" Madam Pince muttered before walking away.

"Yeah, Sirius?" James Potter asked. He had his usual goofy grin planted on his face, with his hazel eyes fixed on his friends. He and Sirius both had a bit of an evil glint in both. James had randomly popped from behind a shelf, looking as though he was pulling something. "Come on Wormtail!" Remus walked around to the other side and raised his eyebrows. Peter Pettigrew, little plump of a 16 year old with beady eyes and a frightened expression, was hanging onto James's hand. "I need to study!" he complained.

Sirius rolled his eyes, and brought the large and dusty book with him. He slammed it down on the table, and caught James's eye. "What did you find?" James asked. Sirius just rolled his eyes as Peter. "Come on, I'm really getting sick of always pranking Snivellus. I found something really cool in this book," he pointed at it. "And I was thinking that maybe we could do it." Sirius walked over and opened it up. He coughed as all the dust from inside the pages flew up and tickled his nose. He soon found the page, and motioned his friends to come over. They had to admit, they were curious.

James's grin grew wider and high-fived his friend. "You're a genius, Padfoot!" At this, Sirius grinned back.

Remus picked it up, and read the section that Sirius had pointed out. "I'm not sure about this, guys. It's really dangerous stuff. And we may not be able to get back. "

James rolled his hazel eyes. "Oh, stop worrying, will you, Moony." he said. "We will be able too. And don't you want to know what you're like in the future?" Sirius nodded his head vigorously in agreement.

Remus rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Well… When you put it that way…" Sirius's smile grew wider. "That's the spirit!" he stated, as he slapped Remus on the back. "Now, pull out your wands." The four did so. "And say "Futurious." The all chorused that word, and were soon sucked into a tunnel of shimmering colours. They tumbled through it, and they saw a hole of light, landing right back at Hogwarts, 1998.
