"Padfoot"

I had been repeating what Lupin called Sirius for hours while pacing back and forth in my room. Why did i know that name? Where had i seen it before? I decided to go ask Dumbledore, dinner would be over by now he should be in his office. I decided not to change out of my pj's since its past curfew and no students would be out. As i walked down the cool castle hallway i continued to rack my brain for where i could have seen it. I turn the corner and run into something and fall, but i don't hit the ground. I slowly open my eyes to see nothing, i hear a laugh and then a boy speak, "Will you guys shut up!"

"Harry?" I ask. It sounded just like him. I pull away from the arms holding me up and bring my hand to the cloak. "Harry is that you?" i ask as i pull the cloak off them. But it wasn't Harry it was James, Sirius and Peter. I look down at the cloak, Harry's cloak tears start to form in my eyes i try to blink them away but a tear escapes. The boys are just looking at me strangely Sirius finally speaks up.

"Who the hell is Harry? And how did you know someone was under that?" He asks.

I look at James and then the cloak then back to James. He seems confused as to why i'm looking at him. I hand him the cloak and continue my walk to Dumbledore's office. I make it a couple of feet before someone has grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.

"You didn't answer my questions," Sirius says, the other two standing behind him.

"He's a friend. He owns an invisibility cloak too, his father gave it to him," I look at James then to the floor. "I really have to go, please."

Sirius lets go of me we all look at each other and part ways. Once i'm out of their sight i lean against a wall and start to cry. I miss my friends and i wont be able to see them for years, I am seeing more of Harry's father then he will. I could could stop it, i could save him, but i know i can't. If i change one thing, if i make one person do something they didn't do in the past i can change my whole life. I get my shit together and continue to Dumbledore's office, i climb the stairs and knock on the door. The door slowly opens an Dumbledore is ascending the stairs, he walks over to his desk and takes a seat. I go and sit across from him. "You look upset Aurora?" He states.

"Professor I know things about these people, bad things that will happen to them. And i know i can save them but i know at the same time i can't. I just into James Potter, Sirius Black and Petter Pettigrew they were under a James' cloak of invisibility and i heard James talk and i thought it was his son Harry. I miss my friends Professor."

"My dear this is going to be extremely hard for you i know that, but i also know that you can do it. I have been talking to Professor Slughorn and he is hard at work brewing you an aging potion they affect wear off of course but you will need to be taking this everyday, you will not age until you are back to your time when you fell down those stairs, until them we must fool the entire school into thinking that you are a transfer student growing and learning with your class," he says. "I have come up with some new rules to prevent things from changing in the future. Any class where you would have been doing a group project you will do alone, you will not be allowed to join any clubs or sports teams, however you will be allowed to go to Hogsmead and eat in the Great Hall if you wish. But i must warn you this year and maybe the year to follow will be easy but as you are older it will become very difficult we must make sure no one has a crush on you, dates you, you can not be in love. I would like to meet with you at the end of every week to talk about how things are going. Now off to bed just because you don't have class tomorrow doesn't mean you can be up all night. And with that i head back to my room.

It is quiet late when i head back, it's actually early morning by now the sun is starting to come up. As i walk down the hall i hear breathing and know the boys are near. I follow the sounds of heavy breath and pull the cloak off of them. "Are you following me?" I ask. I look over at them and they are hurt pretty badly, Remus has now joined them. "Oh my god! What happened to you? Are you all right? Come one i'll bring you to the hospital wing!" I say.

"No," the say in unison. 

"We wont be going to the hospital wing," James says.

"If you are going to be idiots you might as well come with me then. I'm not gonna let you go with those wounds untreated. I might have some things in my room to clean you all up." I say. I know that i shouldn't be doing this, they shouldn't be seeing that i sleep in a teachers room but i'm not just going to leave them. 

As we approach my room they start to slow down, "Why are we going towards the teachers rooms?" Remus asks.

"Because i sleep in an extra teachers room now hurray they might wake up soon." We get to my room and i unlock my door and step in. I go to the bathroom and fill a bowl with warm water and get some more medical supplies. I keep some muggel supplies that i learned how to use. After i grab everything i walk back out and the boys are standing in the door looking around. "Okay who's first?"

Peter steps forward and we both sit on the floor the rest of the guys follow shortly after, Peter wasn't hurt that bad i clean the couple of cuts he has and then put bandages on them. Remus is next, he has a lot of cut they almost look like claw marks or bites. By the time i am done with Remus the sun i up and we have heard a couple of teachers walk down the hall. James sits in front of me and compared to Remus he looks amazing. Lastly is Sirius he sits in front of me and doesn't move, i reach out to take his arm and start cleaning a cut and he pulls away. "Look i'm just trying to help," I say. He slowly gives his arm back to me and i finish him rather quickly. 

"You all still look like shit. If you'd like to stay here for a little a rest that's ok." I walk into the bathroom and put the supplies away when i walk back out they are all talking in a little circle.
