The boy stepped forward out of the crowd.  Anybody who knew Draco Malfoy was surprised at how similar they looked.  Albus was glaring at everybody, as though daring them to comment, so nobody did.

"Ahem.  Anyway, um, my name is Scorpius Orion Malfoy."  Sirius' mouth dropped open at the boy's middle name, and Scorpius grinned feebly at him.

"Um, my dad gave me the middle name Orion because he couldn't think of anything else, cause he didn't want to name me after his dad, so, ya.  Um, I am 13 years old and in Slytherin with Al here.  I'm a Beater on the Quidditch team.  Um..."  Scorpius trailed away, uncertain, and then to show them the final point, he leaned down and gave Rose a quick kiss.  There was an uproar, mostly from Ron.

"MY DAUGHTER IS DATING A MALFOY?  I ALLOW THIS?"  Ron roared.  Rose rolled her eyes.  "Yes, dad, you allow it, because you sort of get along with Mr. Malfoy now."

There was silence in the room because they most definitely did not expect that.  Then they heard an older voice sounding like it was coming from James' pocket.

"James?  James, you there?"

James' eyes widened and he turned slightly pale.  He slowly pulled a small mirror out of his pocket.  James looked pleadingly at Teddy as his father looked sternly at him through the glass, but Teddy just raised an eyebrow and shook his head.  James sighed and turned back to the mirror.

"Hey, dad!"  James grinned hopefully.

"James, where are you?  For god's sake, we come back to an empty house, you think we won't just explode with worry, especially your poor mum!"

James winced.  "Um, so dad, you remember when you told me about the time-traveling in your third year?"  he asked timidly.

"Yes? James..."

"Um, so we kinda sorta maybe went into your office, I mean me an' Fred an' Louis an' Roxy and we may'a found a time-turner there, and we may have brought it downstairs and sorta tossed it aroun' a little bit, an' Teddy was telling us to give it back, so then he caught it, you know, but he tripped cuz' he always does and now it's broken and we may sorta be in Grimmauld Place in 1995."

James shrunk away from the mirror, as Teddy and Victoire covered the younger kids' ears quickly in the silence.

"Fuck." was all that could be heard from Harry on the other side before three livid women filled the screen and a babble of yelling could be heard.  Eventually, they calmed down a bit and decided to take turns.  Fleur went first.

"Louis, tu as de gros ennuis!  Je jure devant Dieu, si vous mettez un autre pied hors de la ligne je vous punirai pour le reste de votre vie, maudit votre éducation ou la vie sociale!"

Louis winced, looking terrified.  "Oui, Maman!"

Louis shrunk back behind everybody else, Teddy and Victoire still covering the younger kids' ears, the rest of the kids covering their ears as Angelina took a turn.

"FREDERICK LEE WEASLEY AND ROXANNE HERMIONE WEASLEY!  You are in big trouble, you two!  Do you not realize what you have done!"

"I don't know, honey, it's sort of awesome-"  they heard George from the background before Ron very clearly covered his mouth as Angelina turned to glare at her husband.  Ginny promptly took the stage.

Teddy dearly wished he could cover his own ears, but he was too busy with Lily's.

"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER!  I SWEAR TO GOD, YOU NEARLY GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK, ALONG WITH EVERYBODY ELSE, WHY WE NAMED YOU JAMES SIRIUS I DON'T KNOW, AS YOU SEEM TO ENJOY CHANNELING YOUR NAMESAKES, I BLAME YOU HARRY!  WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT MESS WITH TIME!  GOD, I'M CHANNELING HERMIONE, THAT IS HOW WORRIED I AM AND MAD AT YOU JAMES SIRIUS!"

There was a faint "Hey!" from both present and future Hermione.  Teddy and Remus both looked like they had been hit over the head with a frying pan, stupid werewolf hearing.

Harry then took the stage again, joined by Ron, Hermione, and Draco.

"Ok, kids.  We're going to work on getting you back here.  With Hermione on it it shouldn't take too long, but be careful.  You can tell them stuff, we will obliviate them when we come to get you.  James, Louis, Rox, and Freddie.  Some ground rules.  No teaming up with Sirius, or George, or Fred, or even Remus."  Harry's voice cracked on all the names except George.  "No crazy pranks, not even on Al, James.  Teddy is in charge, listen to him and Victoire and your Grandma.  you've got them, Ted?"

Teddy leaned into view of the mirror.  "Got it, Uncle Harry!"

Harry sighed, waved to Lily, and hung up.  Then Ginny asked a question, at the same time as Sirius asked another.

"What are our jobs?"

"Who dies?"

//Line Break//

a/n  Hey everybody!  Sorry for leaving it on a sort of cliffhanger!  So, yes, Scorose is one of the ships in this.  I was fighting between that and Scorbus, but I flipped a coin and Scorose won!  I hope you have liked this so far!

Louis, tu as de gros ennuis! Je jure devant Dieu, si vous mettez un autre pied hors de la ligne je vous punirai pour le reste de votre vie, maudit votre éducation ou la vie sociale! = Louis, you are in big trouble! I swear to God, if you put another foot out of line I will punish you for the rest of your life, damn your education or social life!

^That is the rough translation.  I'm Canadian, so know a bit of French, but I used Reverso, Google Translate, and DeepL Translate to figure most of that out.  I'm sorry if it's not accurate.  But I also checked it with my limited French knowledge, and it seems fine, so...
