Under the watchful eye of Albus Dumbledore, James, Sirius, and Remus executed their plan to return the Time-Turner and restore the balance of time. It required finesse, cunning, and a touch of magic.

Late one evening, when the halls of Hogwarts were cloaked in darkness, the trio made their way to Dumbledore's office. Sirius, having learned from his past mistakes, held the Time-Turner firmly in his hands, ready to relinquish its power.

As they reached the entrance to the office, a whisper of a spell passed between them. The door swung open, revealing Dumbledore sitting behind his desk, his eyes twinkling with wisdom.

"Ah, my young friends, I've been expecting you," Dumbledore greeted them warmly. "I trust you are ready to fulfill your mission and restore the balance of time."

James nodded, his gaze steady. "We are, Headmaster. We understand the importance of rectifying our mistakes."

Dumbledore stood, his presence commanding. "Excellent. Hand me the Time-Turner, Sirius."

Sirius approached the desk, his hand shaking slightly as he placed the Time-Turner before Dumbledore. "I'm sorry, Headmaster. I should never have meddled with time. I'm ready to face the consequences."

Dumbledore's eyes softened as he clasped his hands around the Time-Turner. "Mistakes are part of the human experience, Sirius. What matters is that we learn from them and strive to make amends."

With a wave of his wand, Dumbledore performed a complex incantation, severing the connection between Sirius and the Time-Turner. The magical device vanished, returning to its rightful place within the depths of Dumbledore's office.

"There," Dumbledore said, his voice filled with reassurance. "Time has been restored. The future will unfold as it was meant to, free from interference."

A mixture of relief and gratitude washed over James, Sirius, and Remus. They had made amends, taking responsibility for their actions and ensuring the integrity of the timeline.

As they left Dumbledore's office, the weight of their secret lifted from their shoulders. A new understanding had formed among the trio, forged through the trials they had faced together.

In the days that followed, life at Hogwarts resumed its usual rhythm. James, Sirius, and Remus cherished their friendship, cherishing the lessons they had learned and the bond that had grown stronger.

As for Y/N, the memories of her time-traveling encounter with Sirius and the Marauders remained etched in her heart. She had glimpsed a world long past, a world of mischief and camaraderie. And though she knew she could never return, the connection she had forged with Sirius would forever be a treasured memory.

Time moved forward, weaving its intricate tapestry of events, undisturbed by the brief interlude of time travel. The Marauders and Y/N had played their part in shaping the future, each in their own unique way.

And as the years went by, the tale of Sirius Black's journey to the future became a legendary tale, whispered among the walls of Hogwarts, a testament to the power of friendship and the consequences of meddling with time.

In the end, they had learned that while the past may hold allure and the future may beckon with curiosity, the present is where true magic lies—where friendships are forged, memories are made, and the world unfolds in all its wondrous beauty.
