THE YEAR 1977 (*GENERAL POV*)

Dumbledore sat at his desk facing his office door in silence. Throughout the day he had a strange feeling that something unusual was going to happen. He tried to put it to the back of his mind and concentrate on preparing for the new upcoming school year. It was already the 28th of August and that meant that the students would be arriving in 3 days time.

Suddenly Dumbledore was snapped from his thoughts when the ceiling of his office started swirling into one spot. It grew larger and larger, as if it was forming a black hole. A flash of light burst through the room and Dumbledore quickly shielded his eyes. When he turned back he saw Professor McGonagall, or at least an older version to the one that he knew, gently glide down from the ceiling and walked up to him.

"I'm sure you're wondering what just happened." Said the older McGonagall.

"Indeed Minerva." Said Dumbledore who didn't even look startled at what he witnessed. He knew that something strange was going to happen today. "Please take a seat." He said gesturing to one of the chairs opposite him.

"Am I right in thinking that this is the year 1977?" Asked McGonagall as she sat down.

"That is correct." Said Dumbledore who looked intrigued.

"Well, I am Minerva McGonagall from the year 1997. I have travelled twenty years into the past to speak with you, Albus." Replied McGonagall.

"Interesting, and what do you need to speak with me about?" Asked Dumbledore.

"Well, this year the Triwizard Tournament is to be held at Hogwarts and I am right in thinking that one of your students, Mr James Potter, is going to be the one selected to compete for Hogwarts. Unfortunately in my time there is a war going on between the light and dark and Lord Voldemort has sent some of his death eaters back to this time to kill James Potter during the tournament so that James' son won't be born and then the light side will have no chance of winning the war. I cannot let that happen. I cannot tell you anymore about the future for obvious reasons. With your permission I would like to send my three top soldiers, yes soldiers, to protect James Potter. They will need a cover story which I will need your help to come up with." Said McGonagall.

"I will do anything to protect my students and to save the future. So I'd be happy to help as best I can. As for their cover story... they can be transfer students from Bluebells Academy of Magic in America. This year in the Triwizard Tournament two students from each school will be working together to win the tournament for their school. So I will personally make sure that one of your 'soldiers' are paired with Mr Potter so they can keep him safe. Your three 'soldiers' can come up with the rest of their stories. How will they be sent back after the mission is done?" Asked Dumbledore.

"I have already discussed that with them and they have decided to stay in this time for the remainder of their lives in case there are any other attempts on James' life." Said McGonagall.

"That is very noble of them, giving up there own lives just to save someone who they hardly know." Replied Dumbledore.

"James Potter means something to each of them. James' son is one of their best friends and they'll do anything to save him and his family whether they know him or not." Said McGonagall smiling at the friendship that her students share.

"I look forward to meeting them. When will they arrive?" Asked Dumbledore.

"They will arrive as soon as you'll let them." Replied McGonagall as she stood up.

"How about first thing in the morning?" Suggested Dumbledore as he also stood up.

"Agreed. They'll arrive here in your office at nine o'clock in the morning. It was good seeing you Albus. And don't tell anyone who the three students I am sending really are apart from the other teachers. Goodbye Albus." Said McGonagall smiling a genuine smile at the headmaster.

"Agreed. Goodbye Minerva." Replied Dumbledore

McGonagall nodded before disappearing through the still swirling black hole, leaving Dumbledore alone in his office to think over the recent turn of events.
