The Students of 1976 are in for a shock when 8 movies and 16 students fall through the ceiling claiming to be from the future, can they be trusted? Can the future be saved? And why in Merlin's name do two of them look like james and lily, with parts...
"Honeydukes Sweet Shop is brilliant. But nothing beats Zonko's Joke Shop. We never did get a chance to go to the Shrieking Shack, though. You heard that it's the most-" Ron rambled off as they headed upstairs, "The most haunted building in Britian, yeah, I heard." Harry said, finishing it for him. "What's going on?" Theo asked, noticing the students piling in front of them "maybe Elizabeth is still singing?" Dahlia offered, "or maybe someone's forgotten the password" Daphne suggested, "wasn't me this time" Neville said, smiling. "Uh, let me through, please. Excuse me, I'm Head Boy. Get back, all of you. No one is to enter this dormitory until it has been fully searched." Percy said, pushing through the crowd "perce! You'll have better success if you tell them to move up the stairs!" Dahlia yelled, Percy nodded, directing the students to make a path by going up or down some of the stairs, Dahlia used her magic to ensure the stairs connecting to here did not move.
"You can do that?" Marlene asked, her eyes wide, most of the hall looked intrigued, it would save so much time this way "yes, you don't even have to be an heir of Hogwarts to do it. Rowena Ravenclaw is the one who charmed the stairs, it was used as a mental exercise for the students in her time, all you have to do is tell the stairs where you need to go and they'll start moving to get you there quicker" Harry explained, once they had figured that out, it had quickly spread around Hogwarts and passing period had become a whole lot easier.
"Elizabeth. She's gone!" Dean said, coming down towards them, "everyone please calm down, I know most of you won't go back to your common rooms, but please make room so that the headmaster may get here without having to get through all of you" Percy said, everyone kept chatting, ignoring his words, she whistled sharply catching everyone's attention "Start listening to our head boy right now or points will be going down by the 50's! " she threatened, everyone quickly did as Percy told, Percy nodded to her in thanks.
{Dumbledore arrives, the camera pans left, showing the painting slashed}
"What happened" James asked, all of gryffindor house looked Horrified by the mutilation done to their portrait "you'll see" Dahlia said simply.
"Mr. Filch? Round up the ghosts. Tell them to search every painting in the castle to find the Fat Lady." Dumbledore said, Dahlia scowled at him, her eyetwitching. "There's no need for ghosts, Professor. Elizabeth is There" Filch replied, pointing to a painting two stories up,

Dumbledore rushed up, everyone following suit "Dear Lady, who did this to you?" Dumbledore asked softly, "Eyes like the Devil, he's got. And a soul as dark as his name. It's him, Headmaster. The one they all talk about. He's here, somewhere in the castle. Sirius Black!" Elizabeth sobbed with a shriek, hiding again.
"Me?" Sirius asked, horrified, guilt crashing into him, "yes but, it will be explained, you were not truly at fault" Harry explained "did it get fixed? Please tell me it gets fixed" Sirius begged. "Yes, she does. Filch fixes her, see, his real job is taking care of the portraits here, they can't be cleaned with magic so filch hand fixes them. Of course in the meantime we have a different painting guarding our door, Sir Cadogan, Bloody menace didn't last long" Dahlia huffed, none of them had liked him, he was annoying, old fashioned in some regards and just plain annoying at times.
"Secure the castle, Mr. Filch. The rest of you, to the Great Hall." Dumbledore said, the Hogwarts gate comes down followed by the main door closing and multiple locks clicking into place, de mentors float all around outside of the castle. " I've searched the Astronomy Tower and the Owlery, sir, but there's nothing there." Filch said, walking in, the ball was decked out for a sleep over, as if a threat hadn't been in the castle, everyone curled up, watching a movie on the projector. "And I've done the dungeons, Headmaster. No sign of Black, nor anywhere else in the castle." Severus said, smiling briefly as he spotted his goddaughter and godson with their friends, "I didn't really expect him to linger." Dumbledore confessed. "If your uncle is innocent, why would he slash Elizabeth" Pansy asked, "well it's not to see harry or me, both of us would be out, He was hoping no one would be around. I think he was going after Pettigrew, if that's the case... Sirius has reason to believe Pettigrew is somewhere in gryffindor tower" Dahlia explained. "Pettigrew... He's a rat animagus right?" Neville asked, a horrifying theory coming up, "and he's missing a toe right?" Hermione asked, catching on to Neville's train of thought "Scabbers..." Ron said, feeling sick to his stomach "of course, that's why chrookshanks keeps going after him, she recognizes his scent. Where is that rat?" Harry asked, "dunno, haven't seen him since earlier today" Ron said.
"Peter? Really?" James asked hurt, looking towards his friend, his fellow marauder, his brother in everything but blood "he wasn't in his right mind" Dahlia said softly, "what do you mean pup?" Sirius asked "during the war.... For reasons that will be revealed later you... Mom, and dad went into hiding with us. You had to choose a secret keeper, At first dad picked Sirius but Sirius thought it would be too obvious so they picked Peter. Not everyone had been fooled by that trick.... Someone kidnapped Peter... Brought before Voldemort... Voldemort had Bellatrix imperio him and forced him to take the mark... Once Peter was marked... He was powerless to disobey Voldemort.... The mark blocked any attempt he made to lie or refrain from talking... He told Voldemort our location...." Dahlia explained, it had taken them a while to get through their hatred of Peter, but eventually they had found it in them to forgive their uncle, knowing it had not been his fault.
