DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately I do not own Harry Potter…Although I really really want to!

It was a warm summer's day, which was quite unexpected. The children, of course, loved it and spent their day playing joyfully. Except for one. No one on Grimmauld Place knew of the secret house in the seemingly empty bit of space between Number 11 and 13. No one knew that, sitting in the window of a drawing room, a boy sat in Number 12 Grimmauld Place. The boy in question did not go out to play with the others his age. He sat lonely and bitter, in this prison of a house. Stepping away from the scene in the window and the sad thoughts that came with it, he walked quietly out of the room so not to attract the attention of that bitc- his mother. It was no such luck.

"SIRIUS! What are you doing up here?" Walburga Black snapped, exiting the spare bedroom on the first floor, glaring down at her son with cold black eyes. Probably looking for more places to put dark objects, Sirius thought angrily, since she already used my room to put hers.

"Nothing…Mother." Sirius Black said choking out the last word. Turning on his heel he walked slowly up the stairs, until he could no longer feel his mother's glare on his back, and then broke into a run. Reaching his room he shut the door and leaned back on it. As his knees gave out, he put his head in his hands. I'd rather be anywhere else Sirius thought groaning.

"Aww Padfoot, are you sad?" A familiar voice cooed. Strangely the voice was coming from behind the closed curtains. Sirius stood up cautiously and walked to the windows, ripping them open he found himself looking at none other than the face of his two best friends, James Potter and Remus Lupin.

"Wormtail couldn't come, his dads sick." James said grinning in his best friends face, "Now are you going to let us in before or after Remus has a conniption." Remus sat on a broom next to James looking around wildly as if he didn't know whether to feel scared or excited.

"Come in? Only if I get to come out!" Sirius groaned but opened the window further to let James and Remus fly in.

"Why else would we be here, Paddy?" James laughed, "Get your stuff together, my mums making lasagna tonight."

Sirius couldn't help but grin. He knew his friends would come help him! Throwing open the doors of his closet he hastily shoved his scarce amount of Muggle clothing into his packed-days-before Hogwarts trunk. He was broken out of his jovial thoughts by James kicking a trunk at the end of his bed.

"What's in here?" Remus said curiously eyes the ornate carvings of snakes and the small metal box. As James kicked it again, it rattled as if inside were bottles.

"My mums stockpiling all her dark objects. This is the one she put in my room for 'safekeeping'." Sirius said with distaste.

"…Have you opened it yet?" James said, his eyes gleaming madly. Remus looked alarmingly at James.

"You're not going to open something that Padfoot's mum put in here?" Remus said looking distressed

"Moony…of course we are!" Sirius said grinning. Throwing down his bag he joined James at the floor of his bedroom. They both looked at Remus expectantly. With a sigh, he joined them as well. James slowly unhooked the catch and pushed open the box.

Inside the box glittered rows and rows of vials. Some looked alluring, almost seductive in their un-earthly beauty, and yet some looked so repulsive the boys had to gag. There was one in the front row that the boys' gazes could not avoid. The vial was a clear glass yet it was surrounded by a cord of shiny gold. The potion itself was midnight blue. It trembled slightly and Remus, James, and Sirius could have sworn they saw pictures in the potions reflection.

For the most bizarre reason each boy felt the urge to touch it, and even felt their hand move of its own accord. Somewhere deep in their minds they knew they shouldn't. But they had to touch it, hold it, and drink it even. Each boy grabbed at the potion and each boy tried to rip it from the others hand. Somehow the vial seemed to slip loose from each boys and a fall, as if in slow motion, to the floor.

A split second before the worst happened each boy was sane enough to think, "I hope it wasn't dangerous…" before the vilest smell hit their nose and the room around them vanished.

As they hit the floor of what seemed like Sirius' bedroom, their surroundings seemed a bit off. What it was, no one could tell, as the room seemed almost the same if not a bit messier and…dusty?

"…Told you…" Remus muttered brushing off the dust that piled on him when he fell.

"Why is your room so dusty?" James asked curiously at Sirius who just shrugged helplessly. As if he knew better than them about whatever the hell that potion was made of Sirius thought.

As the boys prepared to look for any clues to where they were they heard the strangest sound. A soft female voice calling out was ringing through the old house. It seemed as if coming from the stairway so the boys opened the door quietly and peeked out. Across the hall there was still Regulus' bedroom, although the door looked a bit more battered than Sirius remembered.

The hallway was the biggest surprise. It no longer was dark and gloomy with horrid portraits hanging on the wall. The walls were somehow painted a dark gold and instead of those horrid portraits, there were pictures of little red and black haired children. And those children looked familiar. Like Lily and James! There as some of a little blue haired boy that Sirius didn't recognize. On the far wall, there was what looked like a family portrait of the whole family. Two James like boys, one James like man, one redhead woman, and a little girl that looked slightly like Lily.

It was the little redhead girl whose voice they heard as they saw her face appear at the top of the stairs. "Albus?" she called softly.

The door too Regulus' room opened and the younger James look alike appeared with a book. "Lily? Why are you up here?"

Sirius exchanged confused glances with his friends. Lily? Albus? It didn't make any sense. The other boys looked about as bewildered as Sirius. What kind of messed up potion had Sirius' mum had put there?

"I heard something…" 'Lily' said looking around suspiciously.

"The bang? Probably James messing around of course!" 'Albus' said already turning back into the room. The two boys turned to James. Had they really just heard his name or where their ears playing tricks on them?

"James left with Juliet an hour ago!" 'Lily' whispered. Albus stopped and a look of panic crossed his face.

"Dad and Mum are at the office…" They both turned to look at Sirius' bedroom door, where they had heard the crash.

Sirius, James, and Remus, having just shut the door, looked for a place to hide from the teens. It was too late as 'Lily and Albus' came running in, their wands pointed to curse.

"Who are you and what are you doing in our house?" 'Albus' snapped, stepping in front of 'Lily' in a protective stance. The redhead wasn't having that and pushed her way in front of the boy and walking slowly towards the three boys.

"What kind of sick joke do you think you're playing, coming here looking like that? You know are dad? Harry Potter? Yes, well he would have killed you already!" 'Lily' glared with such ferocity that the three boys flinched away from her steely hazel eyes.

"Uh, I think we have a misunderstanding…" Remus whispered his eyes trained on the two wands pointed at his face.

"Lils?" 'Albus' asked quietly a look of understanding cross his face, "There from the past! How could someone have gotten hair for the Polyjuice Potion? And no one can change their appearance that well, not even Teddy!" His face grew wide with excitement.

'Lily' seemed reluctant to put her wand down but did so anyway. "What year is it?" She asked.

"1975?"James asked.

'Lily and Albus' exchanged glanced at each other. They both stowed their wands in their back pockets, much to the three boys' relief. Walking forward cautiously with their hands up, they started to explain.
