Back In Time To Save The Marauders

Against Dumbledore's Wishes

A/N In this fanfic, Ginny is the same age as she is in the books, but Fred and George are only one year above Harry and Hermione. Also, Ron isn't very friendly with them. Instead of it being the golden trio, it is (and always has been) the golden fivesome. 

A/N I don't own Harry Potter, as far as I am aware, J.K.Rowling does. Thank you.

"Ok, so, is everyone ready?"

"Are you sure this will work Hermione? Don't get me wrong, I know you're a genius and everything and you've been planning this for years, but are you sure?" 

"Harry James Potter, for the last time, yes I am sure, yes I have double checked, yes Fred and George have gone over it too, and trust me the least of worries right now is getting to the past. Now, if everyone is ready, then on three. One, two, three."

As soon as the reinvented time turner was activated, a loud thunderclap echoed through the room, sending young children diving under their covers with its ferocity. There was a whoosh and five identical gasps as the air was sucked from their lungs, and the young students were pulled out of the room, and out of their timeline. Only a few hundred metres away, Albus Dumbledore sat up straight in his chair, suddenly alert as one of his many machines puffed and crackled, alerting him to what the children had done.

"Oh Harry," He murmured. "Harry, no."

HARRY'S POV

They landed in the small, dark room again, but this time it seemed even smaller with five almost adult bodies lying slapdash on the floor. Harry was under the heavy body of George, who seemed quite glad at the soft landing. Harry, however, was not. Ten very painful minutes later, they were all organized and sitting in a circle on the floor. On Harry's left was George, then Fred, then Hermione and then Ginny, who was also on Harry's right. 

Hermione and Fred are next to each other again. He thought. Maybe he likes her? I'll have to have a talk with him about hurting my sister.

To his right, Ginny spoke up. "Honestly Harry, you are the absolute last to realize these things. George and I have known for years!"

"Known what?" George, Hermione and Fred all questioned at the same time, and laughed. 

"But seriously, what did you say Harry?" 

"I didn't say anything. I just thought it, and Ginny answered." He glanced at Ginny, who was frowning up at him, confused. "Did I say anything out loud?"

"Now that you mention it, you did sound slightly distant. Almost a shadow of your own voice, but still definitely you."

In unison, they both turned to Hermione, who had a thoughtful frown on her face.

"I'm not sure if it - unless? Maybe. But they'd have to be - but then, they're not? I thought though - but we did go far back."

"Care to enlighten us on your brilliance, Granger?" George grinned over at her. 

"One moment, I have to just check something." She picked up her small beaded bag, ready for their mission, and thrust her whole arm into it. When she couldn't find what she was looking for, she groaned in annoyance. "Whole bl**dy things been messed up. I had it perfectly organized, too." She was muttering under her breath in her frustration.

Fred tentatively spoke, knowing it wasn't good to upset an angry Hermione. "Maybe try using your wand?"

She turned to him, an angry retort on her lips, when she stopped. "That's actually a good idea." She said instead, and proceeded to summon the book she's been searching for. As soon as it was in her hands, she flicked through it, muttering to herself again, before straightening and brandishing the book with a flourish. "Here!" She announced triumphantly, and began to read.

"When two people who are soulmates, but not yet in love or consciously aware of their feelings, time travel together, it creates a soul bond. A soul bond can be created in many ways, such as life's debt or a marital one, but this is by far the rarest type of soul bond. Not many symptoms are known of it, but we do know the two instantly become married, of age, and are able to talk to each other telepathically. The other symptoms come at a later stage, depending on the combined power of the couple, but some they might recieve is teleporting to each other, healing, wandless and non-verbal magic, dreaming together, or being extremely powerful together.  However, that is not the only type of soul bond caused by time travelling: if two people are both in love (it matters not if they know the other loves them back) and they are meant to be, they receive a symbol somewhere on their body. Their soulmate has the same mark. Unlike the other soul bond, these soulmates are not legally married instantly, but when they fornicate. In dire circumstances, these two persons are able to transport themselves and others to their other half. Everyone who travels back in time for more than 15 years will instantly get a soulmark, and ther soulmate will get one too. 

She finished reading and looked up, nibbling on her lip, the book still in her hands. George was looking excited, mystified and slightly annoyed, whereas Fred looked excited and anxious.  Ginny seemed slightly scared, but more at peace with the idea than her brothers. Harry could feel the acceptance radiate off her and he knew she could feel his. They could instantly tell that this bond was good and that it would help them. Turning to Ginny, Harry saw her do the exact same thing as him, at the exact same time. They smiled.

Harry, we should really be going to Dumbledore.

He nodded, and turned back towards the others. 

"Y'know, it's pretty obvious when you're talking telepathically." George said.

Fred joined in."Your eyes go all misty,"

"You stare at each other,"

They were faking swooning now, taking it turns to catch each other. 

"You look so dopey,"

The two shared wicked grins, and at the same time clutched their hearts like they were in agony.

"You look so in looooooove."

Harry could feel his cheeks heating, and he could tell Ginny was blushing too. Luckily, Hermione interjected. 

"We need to see Dumbledore, now."

A/N Well this is the end of the first chapter of my first fanfic ever. I hope you like it! I know it's quite short; usually I would do longer but I would just like to see if there is anything you want me to change and if any of you would actually like to read this! Please point out any errors I have made - I'm not the best speller. Thank you very much for reading!
