Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew rushed to the hospital wing as soon as they could. Upon entering they found Sirius Black, Lilly Evans and James Potter had been assigned a bed each. Lilly had a bandaged wrapped around her arm, Sirius was desperately clutching his sides and James was holding an ice pack to his jaw.

"What happened?" Remus eyed each one of them individually

"Hold on" Peter picked up a clipboard and began reading from it "James Potter, broken jaw from being hit with a massive book. Lilly Evans, strained bicep from throwing a massive book."

"Well done" Remus looked at Lilly with pride, ignoring the bandaged arm "what about Padfoot?"

"Give us a sec, oh, apparently he kept going on about a busted gut from laughing, then James actually punched him in the gut"

"Well done" Remus spoke in an all too familiar combination of pride and amusement.

"Why did you throw a book at him anyway?" Peter asked Lilly

"Well" Lilly began "we were doing some homework and then we all started talking, about random things like classes and going out and what to do over the holidays. Then we ended up talking about our relationship, like what we would do if we had kids, then we got to talking about what our first kid would be like."

"Okay" Remus nodded, wondering where this was going. Wormtail however was less patient.

"So you threw a book at him because he talked about kids?"

"No" Lilly sighed "we had got to discussing what we would do if we had a boy. It started off talking about what he would look like, we then discussed who we'd make godparents and then we discussed what he'd probably be good at. I predicted he'd be a good cook, Potter over there, decided to remind me that only 'girls' are good at cooking."

"So? It's true ain't it?" Peter spoke, confused by the glare Lilly was now giving him.

"Here you go" Remus handed Lilly a copy of his transfiguration book, Lilly was confused temporarily before getting the joke. A smile forced itself upon her face, with that she slowly stood up and gifted Remus with a one armed hug which he returned.

"If it's any consolation I was joking Lil" James interrupted

"It wasn't funny" Lilly replied

"I thought it was" Sirius giggled

A short while later the five of them had gathered in the common room, they then subtracted themselves to four when Peter went up to sleep.

"Do any of you know what the headmaster had put in the third floor corridor?" James asked "all I know is nobody is allowed to go near it"

"No idea" Remus admitted "but it does seem important, Filch gave some Ravenclaws detention for just walking near it"

"I say we investigate" Sirius exclaimed in a childlike manner

"Well I don't" Lilly cut in, ignoring Padfoots groan "what if you get caught or what if it's dangerous?"

"Like 'The grand wizard of the light' is going to put something dangerous in a school full of children, that'd be stupid"

"Sirius is right" James agreed, after much arguing and convincing the four decided to sneak out using the cloak and map. Remus and Lilly to make sure the other two didn't get in trouble, James and Sirius simply because they were bored.

After sneaking past Filch they found the door, each one of them pondered what would be inside. Treasure? A powerful new wand? The entrance to a secret chamber? Once they entered they were greeted with a small white orb hanging in the air, purple smoke exhaled from it.

"Is that it?" Padfoot wondered

"Surely there's more to it than that" James closed the door "no way they'd give detentions and warnings for a floating orb"

"Let's Just work on what it is" Remus suggested, within that moment the smoke from the orb rose in front of it and formed words, the same words which the orb spoke,

'I am the orb of 'Framtida'. I tell and show the future'

"Cool" Padfoot exclaimed "do I ever manage to become an auror?"

'I do not show what you want, I show the most important thing you ever do"

"Anyone up for it?" Remus eyed the orb cautiously

"I'll do it" Lilly eventually spoke "what's the most important thing I ever do" What happened next surprised not just Lilly but everyone in attendance. The words that came next left everyone speechless

'You die to save another'

"Who does she die for?" James spoke nervously

"Her child, Harry James Potter"

Many shocked faces and whispered conversations and the odd hug occurred before the questions continued.

"Could you tell us about Harry?" Lilly spoke with a barley heard voice

'Harrys has multiple achievements. Flying on a broom at the age of one, being five times as powerful as the average baby in regards to accidental magic. An example would be the incident in which he levitated Sirius Black into his crib'

"He what?!" Sirius flushed with embarrassment

'His most known achievements are defeating the wizard known as 'Voldermort' seven times as well as escaping being killed by him numerous other times, along with defeating Albus Dumbledore on numerous occasions and becoming headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.'

Before the Marauders and their red headed companion could register the shock of what they had just heard a noise was heard.

"Filch" James deduced before everyone put on the visibility cloak and snuck back to the common room. After entering the four, sat down, more tired than they've ever been.

"I can't believe this" Remus rubbed his eyes

"Me either" Lilly shook her head

"I know, I just register the fact that your son levitated me into his crib then next thing I find out is that he not only defeated old Voldy multiple times, but he also did the same to Dumbledore. He must be insanely powerful"

"And judging by the name he's mine as well" Prongs rubbed his head through his messy hair "what should we do about this?"

"I think we should go back tomorrow" Lilly muttered "please guys, I need to know more"

Looking at the desperation in her green emerald eyes, not one of them could say no. So the next day they returned, Peter politely declined after he told them he had to go and visit his mother for a few days.

'Ah, you've returned?' The orb seemed just as intrigued as the students in front of it 'I can only assume you'd like to learn more about your son. Would you like to know some of the titles he has been given over the years?' A few nods and a 'yes please' later, the orb began listing

Not a word was said amongst the group of friends, each eyeing the other, seeing who would break first.

"Hold on, hold on!" Sirius interrupted "your son 'saved' the wizarding world? And if he's heir to my house then I'm going to assume me and him become related in some way or form. Wait did that say 'heir to the maurauders'? His marauder name is 'Bolt'?"

"I can't believe he's the heir to the Hogwarts founders and Merlin himself" Lilly managed to catch her voice "that means we're related to them, amazing."

"My son is the youngest seeker in a century and the world's strongest wizard" James beamed with pride

"Thank god he took after Lilly" Sirius replied before making an innocent face

"He…I can't believe it" Lupin was on the verge of tears "your son…invented a potion that prevented werewolf transformations, please tell us more" The others looked at Remus, not with pity or sadness, but with joy. Finally, the man had hope in his life.

'Relax young one, I will show you, I will show you the life of Harry James potter'
