The Trouble with Time.

Chapter one

Fred and George visit the Marauders.

The day was a wet and windy. Fred and George Weasley walked grumpily to their classroom; they were not pleased with going to Defense Against the Dark Arts with Professor Umbridge. They knew that she was going to have them reading that dull book again, and that whenever they tried to have a spot of fun they were immediately given detention and for no real reasons at all. The old battle-ax toad needed to learn to laugh in their opinion.

“We need something to make this year more exciting more fun than just going to class and reading; we need to cause some… trouble….” Fred said with his patented evil smile that was soon shared with George.

“Let’s duck into McGonagall’s classroom, we can work something up in here, she won’t mind as long as it’s to cause Umbridge trouble.” The two boys slip into her classroom, which was empty at this time. Skipping Umbridge’s class seemed like a bit of justice since they figured they’d never learn anything from the old hag and had learn extremely more from Harry so far.

The two sat talking for a while when they heard an odd rattling noise, they looked to see a small chain with what looked like an hourglass.

“What is that?” George commented they walked over to professor McGonagall’s desk, picking it up examining it.

“Hey wait I know what this is, remember we saw that bloke use it at dads work, it’s a Timeturner, oh yeah we can have some real fun with this,” Fred’s evil grin grew with happiness.

“Yeah we can go into the future with it and see what the old hag is up to and come back and stop her before she does it.

“Or we could go back and meet the Marauders; I’d love to know who they are,”

“But how far back do we go?”

“Remember when we asked that one time,”

“Oh yeah that was the year nineteen seventy five, give or take some, let’s go.” George said enthusiastically. Fred placed the long thin gold chain around both their necks.

He turn the Timeturner back several times watching as the scenes flash and change constantly around them. The two grinned happily wondering how far back they would go. Or would they need to turn it back some more. They looked around the room it was still spinning quite fast the flashes of images moving too quickly to discern anything in particular.

After a moment the Timeturner stopped Fred and George looked around the class seemed very different from what it was before, the pictures on the walls were newer looking then before.

“How long has McGonagall kept these pictures, she needs to update them,” Fred said stunned as he looked at a flowerpot changing into an owl except it looked shiny and new.

Both boys leaped as the door flew open and a crowd of students came clamoring inside.

“Hey Prongs, did you ever see such a git in your life, we just wanted a spot of fun, you think he’d be pleased we choice him for that test,”

The speaker was a very handsome young man with black hair that seems to go where he wanted it to with great effect for his looks to become even better.

The other young man they knew his looks it was Harry Potter’s father, James Potter with the same messy do not lie still hair, except he had round hazel eyes that were full of mischief.

“I know I thought he looked good with those rat ears, the slimy git has no sense of humor running off crying like a little girl,”

The other one was also someone Fred and George knew, just very young versions, Professor Lupin.
