Ello Readers! This is my Harry Potter fic! Written for the "Original Time Travel Story" Challenge on the Harry Potter Challenges Forum. This'll probably be only… ten chapters? IDK. I know that my other story, Flying in London, will take much, much longer. ;) Marauders and Company are in Fifth Year, a term before Severus calls Lily the "M" word. *tear* Next gen is in various years, Lily in third, Albus and Scorpius in fourth, James in fifth year, and Teddy is twenty-two years old, graduated, and still dating Victoire *awwz*... popping the question sometime soon… hopefully. zOMG. Typing this when there's a storm out. Well, the thunder's shaking my house and I can see the lightning. But there is no rain above my home. But it's still scary. AND MY DAD'S IN THE HOSPITAL. :(

Lily Evans (well, she's Evans, at the time, so that's her name, to avoid confusion with Lily Luna Potter from the FUTURE) POV:

Today, I, Lily Evans, will have to go through another day of torture... in the form of James Potter.

"HEY! Lily! Go ou—"

"No," I said, immediately, in fear it might be Potter. James Potter, that is. The one-and-only, gets-on-my-nerves Potter. Ugh. I turned around…

"Uh. I was going to ask if you wanted to go outside later, you know. It's sunny," Severus rambled. Oh crap.

"Sorry, Sev! I thought you were Potter asking me out," I said pathetically. Sigh.

"Understandable. I would say no instantly, too," He joked. We both laughed. We were going to our Potions class. It was a class we had together, and we were at the top of it. As we walked down the hall, there were five people. Who were they? Two of them looked like Potter (ugh) but one had green eyes, and the other didn't have glasses, one was a red-haired girl, with almond eyes like mine. Except her eyes were brown. There was a striking boy with neon-turquoise hair, and it looked natural. The last was a Malfoy. How did I know? Well, he had the same cold grey eyes, and the same white-blond hair. It was always creepy. But, wasn't Lucius an only child? Huh. They were ALL in Gryffindor robes, except for the turquoise haired one, who was much too old for a student.

"Lily, do you know those Gryffindors?" Severus asked.

"No," I replied curtly. I walked towards them slowly, but Sev held me back.

"Come on, Lily, we'll be late for class," He reasoned.

"It's OKAY, Sev! They're just— gone," I said, turning my head. They were gone. And the girl screamed.

"WHAT THE BLOODY HELL, AL?" She screamed. I walked towards Potions with Severus, straining my ears to hear more of the newcomers.

"Oh SHUT UP, LILY!" One of the boys, probably Al, said. Wait. Lily? It wasn't an uncommon name, but… red-headed with almond-shaped eyes like mine? They were all bickering. I nitpicked a few words. Dumbledore, stupid, Snape, and redhead. Well, Snape was Sev, Dumbledore was Dumbledore, and I was the redhead. Who was stupid? (I can name a few people, but they probably didn't know them) Severus and I started to run towards the class. We made it just in time. But those people in the hall. Who were they? It rang in my mind throughout the day.

So this is more of a preface than a chapter. But I'm still calling it a chapter. (inyourfacemoment) LOLz. The lightning was pretty, earlier. Storm's passed. In fact, I wrote this chapter in two different days. Please forgive me for making Scorpius a Gryffindor. I always imagine him a bit like Sirius, except less… rash? I think it would help him with Ron (as a Malfoy hater but a Gryffindor lover) and Rose (who he likes but is told to stay away from him) I also like Al as a Gryffindor too. I mean, it's what he wanted, right? Again, I must apologize for ranting at all. For anyone who wants to rant against me, just PM me, and I'd love to discuss.
