Meet the Marauders
Draco scanned the dorms, crossing his arms. He walked over to a wall, leaning his back against the wall. He didn’t seem interested in this at all, but the original Potter seemed excited. Draco looked over to Harry who appeared to be more relaxed, but he seemed on guard as he watched James walk over to a bed.
“Hey, Peter…” James started, “We’re gonna miss breakfast…”
“No we’re not.” Peter grumbled.
“If you get up now, you can get anything from honeydukes, I’ll pay for it. And you get the bathroom before pads.” He tried.
Peter groaned, “fine.” he slowly got up, trudging to the bathroom. He didn’t even notice the time travelers
James grinned triumphantly. “One down two to go.” he commented, moving to Sirius’ bed. “Pads… wake up-”
“Fuck off!’ Came a muffled voice.
“C’mon, I need you up. Please… we have guests.”
“Tell them to fuck off-”
“It’s my future kid, pads.”
“What?” Then a tired, very grouchy Sirius sat up. He slowly sat up and moved towards his side table. He grabbed his cigarettes and walked over to the window, opening it. “Where’s the little prongs?” He asked sleepily.
“Sirius?” Harry said slowly. Sirius is around. Of course he is. Sirius would never leave him. He could make sure Sirius lives this time. Maybe even his parents too!
Sirius offered a smile as he lit the cigarette with wandless magic and took in a puff before blowing it out the window. “The one and only.” He announced. He looked to James, “g’luck waking moony. You owe me if I have to wake him.” He was still waking up.
James rolled his eyes, “Oh hush, and no smoking in the dorm. I’ve told you hundreds of times. It’s terrible for you.” He pointed out as he opened Remus’ curtains. He gently touched Remus’ hair, getting swatted away. “C’mon moony, get up.” James tried but got a groan in return. “Moony, I got you more chocolate from honeydukes last night…” he tried, getting a middle finger as an answer. “Wake up moony.” He shook the werewolf. “You gotta get out of bed.”
“Go fuck yourself.” Remus huffed out.
“I’ll get you weed from the hufflepuffs if you get up…” he then leaned in and whispered something.
“What the fuck, James?” Remus asked as he sat up with a horrified expression. “He’ll kill you-”
“Relax. I just said that to wake you up.” He commented. “Sirius is smoking again if you’re going to join him.”
Remus slowly got up, popping his back rather loudly causing the boys in the room to cringe a little as Remus walked towards Sirius, “C’mon James. ‘s barely sunrise.” he complained as he took one of Sirius’ cigarettes and lit it the same way Sirius did.
Peter stepped out a moment later, “Shocked you got moony up.” Peter squeaked as he walked past Draco, getting tripped. Peter frowned and Draco just gave him a look. Draco was trying to intimidate Peter, granted Draco knew about Peter’s betrayal of the Potters. He’s not naive.
Harry frowned a bit, “Malfoy,” he hissed.
“Just call me Draco at this point. I can’t call two people Potter.” He grumbled.
James glanced to the time travelers with this adorable little crooked grin. “So what year did you two come from?” He asked eagerly. “Oh! Also boys, that’s my son, Harry, and his friend, Draco.” James said eagerly as he sat down on his trunk.
Sirius raised an eyebrow. “He looks like a Malfoy.”
“I’m Lucius and Narcissa’s kid.” Draco said with a shrug.
Sirius made a disgruntled noise as Harry began to speak up, “We came from 1996… just before our fifth year was done.”
Remus spoke up, “Should they even be telling us stuff?” He asked slowly.
Sirius shrugged, “What am I like? Am I still gorgeous?” He asked.
Draco stopped Harry, “we’re not here to change anything. We just need to get back, and my time turner broke.”
Sirius hesitated, “My brother has our family time turner…”
Draco nodded slightly, “That’s how I got it…” he shook his head, “look-”
Harry spoke up, “can I talk to Sirius alone?”
Sirius shrugged and snubbed his cigarette out and stood. He walked over to Harry and led him to the bathroom. “Wanted godfather, godson bonding?” Sirius said with a laugh,
Harry hesitated, “yeah.. And just… um,” he thought for a moment. “Don’t trust Pettigrew…”
“Why?” Sirius asked, suddenly confused.
“He’s just… his animagus form is a rat for a reason… I just, I-” Harry sighed. “Don’t let Peter be the secret keeper… he becomes a death eater. I just… I can’t lose you again…”
And that’s the first of the many shifts in the timeline… only, Harry would never realize.
