James pressed his back against the wall when his parents started talking. "-time turner," was the end of the sentence he had just heard. "Yeah," his father said, "They just figured out how to make it leap forward by two years," His mom laughed. "Took them long enough,"

"No kidding. There's one in my briefcase,"

James's eyes automatically started scanning the room. "BINGO!" he shouted inside his head as he spotted it on the coffee table. Making sure his parents were still talking, he stealthily made his way the table. The latch of the case opened almost immediately, and he spotted what he was looking for when he saw the gold chain. He shoved it in his jacket pocket with one hand and closed the case silently with the other.

He made sure no one had entered the room and stood up. To make things look casual he went into the kitchen. Leaning against the doorway, he asked, "When's supper going to be ready Mum? I'm starving," His mom nearly jumped out of her skin, as she hadn't noticed him. "James! You scared me half to death!" James smirked. "But, I'll start it here in a minute, okay? Go back up stairs. I'll call you when it's done." Obeying for once, he stepped out the door and with a smile, ran upstairs his hand on the time turner the whole time.

…

"Fred!" he shouted as he opened the door to an old bedroom. The rooms of number 6 Grimald Place were as musty as ever. The only reason they were staying there was because they had gone on vacation for a week, and the whole time it had rained and roof suffered several leaks making the floors unsafe. They had to stay here until it could be properly fixed.

His cousin turned, and looked at him with a mischievous grin. "What'd ya' get?" He asked. James whipped the time turner out as Fred walked up. "Whoa," Fred whispered. James's sister Lily and Fred's sister Roxie looked up from their drawings. "What is it?" Roxie asked as she walked over with Lily on her heels. Albus, now taking notice and looking up from a book then came over. They all huddled the gold necklace. The others weren't paying attention as Lily's fingers spun the knob seven times.

A/N: I know I'm not really following the epilogue years, but I don't really care. James is 12, Fred(II) is 13, Albus and Roxie are both 11 and Lily is 9. Hope you enjoyed!
