I was taught to search the room. Pinpoint danger at the source. To solve problems with unique plans. I was taught to do a lot of things, but they all seemed to go out the window the minute we landed here. I was taught to keep emotions in check. I was taught to work with my second. I was taught to hunt bad-guys, not death-eaters with a master that has control over the whole Wizarding world.

I lay awake still, and its almost sunrise, and the sky is turning orange. I decide to not even bother to try and sleep any longer, it was useless.

I walk downstairs quietly to see Grandmum starting her morning routine, her own tea in hand, just watching the sunrise. I walk over to the kettle and make myself a cup, she seems to notice I'm here.

"Early riser?" She asked kindly.

"Never went to bed. Couldn't. Too worried that I screwed everything up." I said, feeling the need to get the guilt off of my chest.

I should have worked with Teddy, I should have brought him in on the plan instead of acting alone. I knew him too well though and knew he would never go for it. I shouldn't have argued with him. I should have thought before acting.

He shouldn't have too though a voice in my head kept telling me.

"I'm sure you did what you thought was right." She said with a reassuring smile.

"I didn't do what I was trained to do. I did without thinking, I fought and let my emotions get in the way. I could have gotten us all killed." I said.

"What you were taught?" She asked me confused.

"I'm an Auror. So is Teddy."

"You did fine sweetie. They are all safe." And then she got up and started breakfast.

I watched the sun come over the horizon slowly as I sipped my tea. We needed a plan. Right now, I wanted to be at the Final Battle Anniversary dinner, not the final battle itself. I continued to sit there lost in thought for awhile, when Teddy came down and sat across from me.

"They are all still sleeping." He said.

"I figured. I never went to sleep."

"Me either. I have a feeling the boys in my room were up too. Probably planning an exit strategy of some sort."

"I'm sorry Teddy. We should have planned together." I say sincerely.

"No. I should have known what you were about to do and joined you. It was smart what you did." He said smiling at me.

I smiled back and we went back to sipping our tea, in a very comfortable silence.

"What are we going to do?" I asked, knowing he sensed exactly what I was getting at.

"Well, we are going to try to find a way to contact the future. I have a few ideas, nothing to drastic."

"Like what?"

"There is always kreacher. House-Elf magic is different from ours. Then the two-way mirrors I have I know Harry has one, I just don't know if it will work. Or we could just hope they find the broken time-turner."

"Or Rose's muggle phone thing that Aunt Hermione and she has."

He both nodded and lapsed into silence. We were one step closer to a way out.

James POV

I searched my bag for something, anything that could be useful. As a prankster, there is always a way out of a situation. Now that way out may not always be the most ideal, but it's there. Admitting you have more products then you are supposed to always does damage on some end, but right now is not the time to be worrying about extra trouble.

I looked to the bottom and found what I was looking for. Uncle George always gave us experimental products, and I had one here. It was a time-turner that was supposed to bring you back a couple of minutes so you could establish an alibi before you were caught. New products were always great because McGonagall didn't know about them yet.

He turned to Fred who was sitting with his head in his hands, still tired from lack of sleep.

"This could work you think?" He asked, muffled voice through his hands.

"It's a start right?"

"We should ask Louis before we do anything."

"Why?" I asked confused.

"Because I'm the one who saves your sorry arses when you mess up the pranks." Louis' voice was muffled by his pillow.

"And that's why we ask you." Fred said with a smile on his face.

"It has potential." Louis said shrugging and sitting up. "Could be tweaked a little. We should talk to Rose. She probably has a book explaining how to tweak a time-turner."

"Roxy has some book from the shop explaining how the products work. Dad made it so McGonagall could deactivate products if it got to nasty and out of hand. It's also a reference book for him." Fred said through a yawn.

"Maybe we should ask her about it?" I suggested timidly.

"She might go for our idea, but we would have to tell her about it. Just asking for the book gets us a lecture." Fred smiled and got up, setting off for Roxy's room, where we followed him too.

Albus POV

"Are we going to be okay Al?" Lily asked me quietly.

We had all gotten little to know sleep, and my brain was foggy right now. Lily had asked this at least a dozen times already, and once again I had no answer for her.

"I have no clue Lils."

"I think we should try to plan a way out of here." Rose spoke up for the first time, sitting on the cot legs crossed.

"And why are we going to do that?" I asked.

"Because Teddy and Dom have gotten nowhere. Because we have bags full of books. Because we are smart enough to fix this ourselves!" She said getting louder as she went.

"Rosie, there is only so much we can do. Let them try and handle it. Doesn't mean we can't read about possibilities though." I said trying my best to calm her.

She nodded, went in her bag, and took out a book and started to read.

Teddy better have a plan was all I could really think right now.

Roxanne POV

I heard Dom leave the room hours ago. Of course she wasn't sleeping, probably beating herself up because they were still here, because she couldn't just flick her wand and solve all the problems we have.

I sighed. This was really bad.

I saw Vic lay on her back in a huff, probably unable to sleep too.

"Not sleeping so well Vic?"

"I can't. We could die here. We are in huge trouble."

"I know we are but-" I didn't get to finish reassuring her because just then Fred opened the door and slipped in, James and Louis behind him.

"We have a plan, but we need your book about the products that dad gave you." He said in a rush.

"You have a plan?" I said bolting upright.

"A good one too. We know Teddy and Dom probably have 10 theories by now, but we might as well help them out right?" James said with a smirk.

"I'm going to find Teddy and Dom and see what they have planned." Vic said, not wanting to know what over the top plan was about to take place.

"Well, what's the plan boys?" I say.

"Well it could all start when we know how to disable and re-adjust a time-turner." Louis said with a smirk, and for the first time since we have been here, I had hope that we had a way out.

Especially when James showed me the time-turner, and I knew that it was in the book, and that we had some really smart people in our family.

Okay so this chapter isn't great, but they need to find a way back and obviously with all those people they will have different opinions and ideas. SO next chapter: They figure out that they can fix the time-turner, Remus and Tonks show up, the attack at the ministry comes into view.
