After almost an eternity I'm back with a new chapter. Thanks to everyone who haven't given up on the story even though I've been so slow with updating.


The Marauders looked at the map with confused faces.

"Why can't we see any of them?" Sirius said. "They can't just disappear from the school grounds, right?"

"Maybe its best if we go out and search for them", Remus said and started to go.

"Yeah, maybe..." James started but then he fell silent. The others gathered around him to see what had made him so pale. "James Sirius Potter", he said in a barely audible whisper.

Remus followed the group with strange names. James Sirius Potter? There was only one Potter at Hogwarts and he was sitting beside him, and as far as he knew there wasn't any Weasleys at Hogwarts. With a sense of panic, he saw the names get in to the common room.

"Are they Gryffindors?" he thought perplexed. He got suspicious when they headed towards the dorms. Quickly he placed himself beside the door. Sirius had thought similarly to him and now they stood at each side of the door.

Then everything happened quickly. They got the four intruders down to the floor but froze when they saw who they were. Even though he relaxed at the sight of the familiar faces James got even more suspicious.

"Who are you? Who are you really?"

Several quiet minutes passed where they were eyeing each other with mixed feelings. Finally Roxanne cleared her throat. "Well, we can explain", she said and stood up. The others followed her.

Peter observed the scene completely confused, so these were the four people on the map? Was the map wrong or was there something fishy about them? The cousins seemed excited, like something incredible had happened. But they seemed to be nervous. He caught George several times fearfully taking glances at the map, as if it was holding a secret. James stood with his wand raised and looked impressive. His eyes were focused on the cousins as he waited for them to start talking.
Sirius had once again raised his wand and looked suspiciously at them, but with a gaze that showed he was hoping that everything was a misunderstanding. Peter switched his gaze to Remus. He was observing both parts. He had a focused face and seemed to think about an answer to everything, but by the look of his furrowed brows he didn't seem to have any idea. Peter was just about to look at the map again when something caught his sight. Surprised he pointed at the door. There was two nervous people who were watching everything worriedly. Everyone turned around and Sirius exclaimed "They look even more suspicious!"

Sirius gaze fell on Victoire. He quickly looked at Louis and then looked back. He then looked at Teddy. There was something familiar about the guy, but he couldn't figure out what it was.

"That's my sister!" Louis said quickly and pulled them in. "This is Victoire, my older sister." A look of understanding fell on the Marauders' faces.

"Yeah, now when you say it. But..." Sirius fell silent and studied her. She gave him a cold stare.

"There's something creepy about her", he said. The Marauders looked confused at him. Teddy suppressed a laugh.

"What?" James exclaimed, irritated at Sirius' playful mood.

"Yeah, well", Sirius continued, "as if any time soon she will explode and scold all of us!"

"Well he's right on that part", Louis muttered. "AAJ!" he shouted when Victoire, who had heard him, hit him. Victoire crossed her arms and observed the Marauders. Her eyes were burning with curiosity, but for some reason, maybe Sirius' comment, she looked angry and strict.

"And..." Remus nodded towards Teddy.

"That's Teddy, my... fiancé", Victoire said.

"Since when?" George and Louis said at the same time. George starred at Teddy as if Teddy had betrayed him and Louis looked at his sister as if he couldn't believe it.

"When did you decide on this?" Louis asked. "And you were saying you had been so worried", he added bitterly.

"We decided before you got here, but then you left and..." Victoire interrupted with a look that made Louis become quiet.

"So Victoire and Teddy, right?" Sirius asked and got a nod as an answer. "What are you doing here?" he asked.

"Eh, well", George began hesitantly. But James interrupted him. "It doesn't matter. I still haven't gotten an answer to my question. Who are you?"

They opened their mouths to answer but James said; "Don't lie. We know your real names from the map." He turned to George. "James Sirius Potter?" George paled. "Fred, Roxanne and Louis Weasley?" They looked uncomfortable.

"I'm the only Potter in Hogwarts", James said and looked suspiciously at George. "Unfortunately, being a Potter also includes knowing a lot of names in my family tree and I've never heard about a James Sirius Potter before." He turned his gaze towards the others. "And you guys? Well there's a lot of Weasleys, but I've never heard of home schooled Weasleys. And..." He thought for a moment, "No Weasley has given birth to a daughter in generations. But now there's two Weasley-born girls standing in front of me? I don't get it!" he turned around to get help from Remus.

Remus started understand a connection. Several Weasleys… A James Sirius Potter… And suddenly everything became clear, but the idea seemed impossible. He looked straight at Teddy's eyes; a pair of eyes which were identical to his.

"It's impossible!" he gasped.

"What?" George asked immediately.

"They… they… they have to be from…" he looked as if he couldn't believe what he was saying, "the future."

The cousins froze. Then Sirius exclaimed "What? Moony do you hear yourself? Do you think…"

But James interrupted him. "Wait Padfoot. It would… it would explain a lot". He thought about it. "They suddenly show up in the middle of the semester. They… George looks like me… they already knew a lot about us, do you remember that they knew about Regulus? They hated the Slytherins even though they never had been to Hogwarts before." His words were met by silence. Victoire looked at her brother tensely, what would happen now?

Sirius seemed to cope with the information. "But... but if his name is James Sirius Potter… then it means that he… that he is your…" Sirius burst out in laughter. "Prongs, how could you name your son after yourself!?" It twitched from the corners of Remus mouth, it was too comical to be true.

"So, what!" James stuttered, "he has your name too."

"Yeah, as his middle name! it should be the other way around."

"What? Sirius James Potter? That sounds wicked. James Sirius Potter sounds much better."

"Hey, be quiet! That's the least of our troubles", Remus said. "From the future… eh…" his gaze fell on the map. With big eyes, he turned around towards Teddy. "What was your name again?"

"Teddy", Teddy answered unconfidently. He was extremely nervous. His dad was standing in front of him. Fully alive with his best friends. He felt the tears behind his eyelids. His dad… he lowered his head and glanced at Remus. Remus stared at him and their eyes met.

"Teddy what?" James said and raised the map. "Edward Remus Lupin."

"Moony?" Sirius exclaimed and put his arm around Remus shoulder. "We were talking about James, but someone seems to be ahead." Remus shrugged off Sirius arm and looked suspiciously at Sirius. "What are you talking about?"

"Moony, your kid looks older than James' kid, so you must have…" Sirius didn't finish the sentence, instead he did a gesture which made Remus scarlet red.

Teddy looked at the scenery in front of him and tried to register every second. Every gest, movement and face… everything his dad did. It was his dad. It was his dad in real. Not in a picture or in a book. He wanted to give everything up and just look at the man in front of him.

The cousins looked at Teddy. Victoire saw the pain in Teddy's eyes and took his hand. Their eyes met, and she gave him a little smile.

Remus shrugged off Sirius' arm again.

"Okay, we have sorted out who you are… but it's impossible… or what's happened is impossible."

"Remus, if something has happened it's not impossible", Sirius said in a teasing voice with a tone as if speaking to a five-year old.

"Sirius shut up", Remus interrupted, he turned his gaze towards George, "you tell us!"

"So… ehm… well we were at my house during summer break and… eh… we", George started.

"That's enough! Louis continue", Remus interrupted. Behind him Sirius tried to hold his laughter over Remus' impenitency. Quickly Louis told them about the Time-Turner they had found, about how it had broken and how they had come here. After his explanation, the four Marauders looked stunned and speechless.

"Wow", James finally said. "So… the future. Tell us a little. Has something cool happened?"

The cousins looked at each other. "Eh?"

"What James really means is how the fight against Voldemort turned out", Remus said eagerly.

"The war against Lord Voldemort is over. We won!" Teddy said. Remus nodded but avoided Teddy's gaze. He had never believed that he would have children. As if that wasn't enough, his son was standing in front of him and was older than him.

"We won?" Sirius exclaimed happily. "That's awesome! I can't wait to see the Death Eater's loser faces when they see Voldy conk."

The cousin's starred on the floor and pretended not to know Sirius' dark future.

"I know! Finally we're gonna show all the regressive fools what reality looks like", James agreed.

Although Victoire was very curious about the new people they've met in the room, she couldn't handle listening to their eager hopeful words, when she knew their fate. To see young boys (because technically they were younger than her) happy and talking about the future when she knew that one of them would die soon was unbearable. She wanted to get out of there as soon as possible. She glanced quickly at Teddy and saw his tensed body, saw his hungry eyes register everything Remus Lupin did. She wanted to help him so badly, but she didn't know how. Teddy was an orphan, and even though his grandmother was wonderful, even though he was really close to the Potter/Weasley family, she understood that it wasn't the same thing as having his parents alive. Teddy had never had the opportunity to get to know his parents and here he was now with a younger version of his father. What would happen later when it was time to go back? She didn't want to interrupt the joy in the room but didn't have a choice and said

"James, where's the time turner?" Both James turned towards her.

"Time tuner?" the older one asked confused, as the other one answered "Yeah, I forgot, wait I'll find it."

Sirius observed everything with a smirk. "Wow, this is gonna be awkward. Two James Potters, Merlin!"

"Here it is!" George held up the time turner triumphantly.

The time turner looked as broken and boring as before. How this time tuner and the one that Teddy had would fit together was a mystery to Louis.

"Good, then we'll go to the headmaster and tell him we have a solution", Roxanne said. She turned towards the door and begun to walk.

"Headmaster?" Remus asked. "Ah, so professor Dumbledore knew that you were…"

"Of course! Is there anything he doesn't know?!" James interrupted.

"Okay, we'll go now, but we'll probably come back later", George said, and the rest of the cousins went out through the door and headed towards the headmaster's office.
