Alex

I woke up in the Gryffindor common room but it didn't look like it. "Remus, what happened to the common room?" I asked as I got off his lap.

"I don't know, Alex. Hey look! Newspaper!" He exclaimed. I rolled my eyes and went over to a painting.

  "Can it be?!? Miss Alexandrina Rose Lupin?! It's been years! Where were you? You, your brother and your friends just disappeared the second day of first year. So did Mr. Severus Snape." One of the paintings said.

"Wait, what?" James had come over.

"You lot disappeared. Albus, poor man, was worried about you lot. You better to to him, quick!" Another painting said. We then rushed to Dumbledore's office.

"What do you think the password is?" Remus, my wonderful twin brother, asked.

"Sherbert Lemon." A familiar voice said from behind us. We all turned to see two older students and a professor. "May I ask, what are you all doing here?"

"We're new students, Professor. We need to talk to Professor Dumbledore." Lily told her. She gave us a knowing and saw look but nodded. We then followed her up the stairs to the Headmaster's office.

"Ah, Minerva, what brings you here?" He asked but when he saw us he had a sad look in his eyes.

"Albus, what do you think we should do?" That's when someone came in. I looked and saw Severus. For some reason, I had an odd feeling about him and decided to ignore him.

"Snivellous." James and Sirius greeted in a sneer. Me, James and Sirius glared at him before Remus nudged my arm telling me to knock it off. I looked at Remus, glared, shook my head and joined James and Sirius where they stood far away from Snivellous – I mean Severus. Ugh, I hate him and I don't know why!

"Po-" he didn't finish because Lily had hit his arm and glared at him before giving a quite chuckle and hugging Snivellous tightly. I glanced at James and what shocked me was his expression. He looked ecstatic! Oh no! No! No, no, no, no! James, no!

"James, NO!" I told him as I grabbed his hand as Sirius wolf whistled. I glared playfully at him. "Don't you start, Sirius! Or I'll tell Marlene that you wish to have a quidditch team of kids!" I joked. We all laughed when Sirius went bright red. So red, in fact, you could use him as a flash light!

"Well, prefects, I will talk to you both later." Dumbledore told the boy and girl student, the prefects, and they left with a nod of respect. Dumbledore then turned to us and asked "real names?"

"Remus, you're doing it!" Everyone- apart from Snivellous, Lily and Remus- called out making him sigh a sigh of exasperation.

"Fine!" He then turned to the two Professor's, "'Remus and Alex Lupin, James Potter, Sirius Black, Peter Pettigrew, Lily Evans and Severus Snape."

Albus nodded. He looked over at me with a small smile as James grabbed my hand and squeezed it in reassurance knowing that I was absolutely terrified right now. I looked over at him and smiled in thanks. "Well, you lot will need fake names until we can get you back to your time." he told us. We all nodded and started thinking.

"Hey, Remus, what was that friend of ours last name? It was something son, right?" I asked my twin, thinking that we could use that last name. Remus had his thinking face on until he looked up at me with a bit smile.

"Branson, I like it. Good thinking Lex!" He complemented. I nodded with a proud smile of my own when Albus decided that he had to ruin it for us.

"Not just last names, first names as well." He told us. I sighed and leaned on James with my head on his shoulder. I moved my head so that I could see Remus who looked like he was going to wet himself. I looked at Sirius and he, too, looked as If he was going to wet himself. I shook it off and kept on thinking when James' hand was connected to mine. I quickly pulled it back and speed walked over to Remus. He hugged me tightly.

"I was thinking Richard and Rachel Branson?" I told him. He smiled and nodded. About an hour and fifteen minutes later and we had our names.

Me and Remus were Angelica and Richard Branson; James and Sirius were James and Stan Clearwater; Lily was Lily-Rose Smith; Peter was Lukas Little and Snivellous was Seth Mors.

"Good. We will sort you at the feast with the rest of the first years." He told us. We all nodded and the other Professor lead us down to where we would be waiting for the other first years. When the first years entered I saw these two boys who just so happened to catch my eye. I put on a small smile and walked over to the two boys, James and Sirius close behind me.

"Hi! I'm Angelica Branson! This is Stan and James Clearwater!" I introduced to the two boys. They smiled back, shook my hand politely and they did this with James and Sirius.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Harry, Harry Potter. This is Ron, Ron Weasley." The boy with the scar, Harry, introduced. I looked at James and Sirius before looking back at Harry. I nodded and looked over at the Professor.

"We are ready for you now." She said. We then all headed in to the Great Hall.

"Hey, James! What house do you think you'll be in?" I heard Harry ask James. James shrugged before looking directly at me.

"Easy, Gryffindor! Like in the..." I trailed off, realising what I was about to say. I looked down for the rest of the walk. I felt a hand on my shoulder and saw that it was Remus. I looked down again as his arm went around my shoulders.
