( remus after finding out that magnolia is his daughter and worrying that she might have inherited his werewolf gene, not knowing she's also a veela )

"WHAT DID YOU AND HARRY DO BEFORE YOU CAME HERE?" Lily asked Magnolia with a smirk as the other girls looked at her confused. But then Maggie blushed, throwing her head back with a laugh.

"WOAH - HICKEY ALERT!" Marlene shouts, pointing under Maggie's jaw. They all smirk at her as she covers her neck. There was a small dark pink bruise on her neck and jaw alongside a few faded others.

"Oh bugger off" She laughs as Mary wiggles her eyebrows at her.

"Hey, either answer or drink~" Marlene sang, swaying the fire whiskey bottle around. Maggie sighs, she can't take any more alcohol. She's already tipsy and there's no point in not answering any questions since they already know that her favorite position is cowgirl. And she cannot afford to drunkenly tell them about how she's from the future with Harry.

She also is trying not to be awkward and try to get the thought in her head that, Harry's mother is hearing all of this. And to not cry in embarrassment, when Marlene exclaims that Harry is definitely a bottom.

"Fine, fine. I gave him a blow job and... he gave me head back" Magnolia mutters, covering her face with her hands as they all burst into laughter and Maggie then turns to Lily with a smirk.

"So Lily... Do you like James?" Her face turns scarlet red like her hair and the girls start switching from teasing Magnolia to teasing Lily.

"Oh shut up! I don't!"

"She's hated him since like the first year here and he's always been in love with her ever since... And now I think she's finally starting to like him" Marlene teases, making Lily rolls her eyes.

"I don't!"

"We totally believe you, Evans" Alice laughs.

"So hYpoThEtiCaLly iF yOu AsKed mE oUt AgaiN... - WoUld yOu?" Lily's mouth dropped a little as Maggie mocked her, making her voice high-pitched, mocking Lily from their first meeting and her mistaking Harry for James.

"You asked him that?!" Mary exclaims as Lily furiously shakes her head.

"She was going to!" Maggie laughs as Lily throws a comb brush at her with a small smile.

"I thought Harry was James... And when I realized that he wasn't actually James, I was relieved it wasn't actually him, or else I would have just sounded stupid."

"So you like him?" Marlene asks with a raised eyebrow as Lily shrugs, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.

"I... I don't know. He's stopped being such a bully and isn't as annoying anymore..."

"You should ask him out" Lily looked at Maggie surprised and shook her head nervously.

"Why not? I know he still really likes you... I'm sure he would be over the moon if you ask him." Lily tried hiding a smile and nodded.

"I'm gonna ask him out to the next Hogsmeade. I'm gonna do it."

"Yay!"

"I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SHIP TO SAIL SINCE THE YEAR 1974!" Alice shouts, cheering as the girls laugh.

~~~

"WHAT?!" James shouts as the other two stare at Harry in shock.

"TIME TRAVEL?!"

"No... This can't be real" Remus mutters, before Harry hiccups and crosses his arms over his chest.

"But no. I don't think Remus is a werewolf." Harry states after the serum finally wears off he unknowingly tells them every secret he was instructed not to tell them by Magnolia. While James starts whispering "Oh my god" over and over.

"Now the Veritaserum has worn off-" Remus whispers, his hand over his mouth in astonishment.

"This answers... So MUCH!" Sirius exclaims, running a hand through his hair with a shaky laugh.

"Maggie's real name is Lupin, y-your daughter" Sirius stutters, looking at Remus as he nods before they turn to James.

"And Harry... Is a Potter" James stares at Harry with wide eyes before letting out a high-pitched scream.

"JAMES!" Remus shouts, putting his hand over Prong's mouth. He shouts against Remus's hand, making it muffled as he frantically begins to panic far more.

"Don't yell and I'll take my hand off your mouth" James obediently nods and Remus slowly takes his hand off his.

"Who... Is your mother?" James asks slowly as Harry rolls on the carpet, ending up looking at them upside down.

"Lily-" He stops and clamps his hand over his mouth as all their eyes widen.

"I mean - Molly! And my father is... Arthur?" He says, obviously questioning his own words.

"Who were you going to say before?!"

"Molly!" Harry exclaims, rolling his eyes like it was the most obvious thing in the world -like he didn't actually say Lily's name in the first place.

"N-No, you said Lily..." James suddenly froze, looking into Harry's eyes.

Emerald green eyes. A very familiar pair of green eyes.

"Lily..." James slowly sat up and looked at Sirius and Remus as they stood there, not knowing what to do.

"My Lily?" He asks in a whisper, sounding in complete astonishment with a hand on his chest dramatically.

"James..." Remus warns as James slowly turns around to face the staircase. He stood there frozen for a solid thirty seconds before dashing to the staircase.

"JAMES!" Sirius and Remus shout as Harry stands up with a little stumble.

~~~

"So how did you and Dorcas become a thing?" Maggie asks as the girls walk out of the dorm to go try to sneak some snacks from the kitchen.

"It was 1975 - and young Marlene was realizing everyone - man, woman or non-binary - she didn't care... They're all very hot. And I was walking down the hall-"

"Oh god, is she telling you the story of how she met Dorcas again?" Mary laughs, coming beside the two, making Marlene scoff.

"No, this is the story when she realized it was love at first sight" Lily teases as Marlene tries to continue.

"Oh, I've heard that one a few times - she loves telling that one," Alice says, they all laugh, and Marlene glares.

"As I was saying-" She scowls before continuing. "I was walking down the hall with Lily, on the way to Herbology- and we were walking... And that's when I saw her..." Marlene stopped them dramatically before the stairs, holding her arms out in front of Maggie and Lily.

Lily rolls her eyes and Maggie looks at the blonde confused with a raised eyebrow. Marlene looked forward with a lovestruck look as she acted like she was experiencing the moment of love all over again.

"My heart raced - and my heart thumped loudly in my chest. We made eye contact for a few seconds and she smiled, looking away-"

"Geez, I bet you even know what she was wearing-" Maggie says before getting cut off by Marlene who continues.

"She was wearing her Slytherin robes and her hair was half up and down- her beautiful curls bouncing as she walked... And the exact words I thought were..."

"I want her." Marlene lastly whispered. Maggie furrowed her eyebrows and opened her mouth to say something.

"No, actually - you said that out loud at the time," Lily says, making Marlene think for a moment and then nod.

"Oh yeah, I did" Maggie shook her head with a laugh at Marlene, patting her shoulder.

"You must love telling that story" Marlene nodded with a big smile, happy to brag about her love, Dorcas Meadowes. They started walking down the stairs with them.

"So how did you and Harry get together?"

"Honestly, when he first asked me out I never really thought of him that way but still gave him a shot. But when I realized I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him... It was just magical, I really couldn't think of anyone else but him-"

"JAMES!" Two people shouted from the bottom of the stairs as suddenly James was standing in front of them. He stared at Maggie with wide eyes as she looked at him weirdly before glancing behind him. Remus and Sirius were staring at her like they were caught deer in the middle of the road. Then she saw Harry suddenly turn around and break out into a grin at her appearance.

"MAGNOLIA, MY LOVE! I'VE MISSED YOU!" Harry exclaims, running over to Maggie and pulling her into a big hug.

"They're drunk" Alice whispers as Marlene scoffs sarcastically. James's eyes flicker to Lily as Maggie's eyes flicker to the four of them quickly.

Harry was completely drunk, saying bewildered things.

Sirius wasn't saying some stupid comment right when he saw all five girls... And was just frozen in shock from something.

Remus's chest was slightly heaving, staring at her with wide eyes.

Maggie's eyes widened, her nerves and her senses heightened. Something happened. Something bad.

And that's when something in Maggie clicked.

Oh... She's gonna kill Harry.

"Lily-"

"Oh my god! You guys are so drunk!" Maggie shouts with a high-pitched laugh as Harry laughs with her, stuffing his face in her neck and he wraps him around her tighter.

"Just whatever you going to say is gonna sound just hilarious!" Magnolia says before darting her eyes at James as his mouth hangs.

"Remus - get Sirius and follow me" She turns around and smiles apologetically to the girls, while Harry pulls away from the hug, only holding her pinky.

"You guys can go get snacks without me, I'm gonna get them to bed"

"Oh let me help-" Lily tries saying but Maggie refuses.

"No, no, no, you guys go, I got it!" Maggie ushers the girls out of the common room.

"Are you sure?" Mary asks.

"Yes - don't worry, go eat."

"James, take Harry to my room - I'll be right there" He doesn't say anything but grabs Harry's shoulder, pushing him up the stairs as Remus is about to follow. But he stops at the end of the stairs as Sirius slowly goes up behind James and Harry.

Maggie and Remus hold eye contact, the only ones now in the common room. In the beginning - he thought there was no way in hell he was related to Magnolia in any way. But now, when he really looks at her. He had olive skin dark brown eyes and light brown messy hair. She had pale white skin, bright bluish-grey eyes, and vanilla gold short hair. But they both had natural glaring tired eyes, full pink lips, and a sharp jawline with high cheekbones. Long legs - though she keeps her back straight, while he needs to work on his posture.

If they stood by each other and you'd glance at them - they barely look alike and are two completely different people.

But if you noticed all her distinct features and his - they were the exact same person.

But then her scars. He had them too but not in the same places, of course, and he had obviously had more than her... He just hoped hers weren't from the same thing as his.

Magnolia tore her eyes away from him, biting her bottom lip. She looked up, smiling at her friends reassuringly.

"I'll see you guys later" She whispers as they give her a small smile, before leaving the common room. But as soon as the door closes, she rubs her eyes furiously as tears start to fill her eyes.

"Oh god, please... Please." She looked up, wiping her hands on her plaid pants.

"Maggie..." Remus whispered and she met his eyes again. He knew - Just by his... Certain comforting look - the same look Maggie missed so... So much. The same look he gave her before he died.

"You know everything?" She asks in a whisper, looking down as he nods.

"Ever since you've been here-" She shook her head, tears glossing over her eyes. And by her sorrowful look, he wanted to comfort her, he felt the need to.

He wanted to.

He thought it might have been because of... Him being her father and there was that just that sense of recognition in him for her. He didn't know exactly-

But he just knew he hated seeing her like this.

"Please go. I'll meet you guys up in my dorm, okay?" She asks with the sniffles, trying to compose herself in front of him. He took another step forward and she gave him a stern look.

"Mags please-" She watched as he began to ramble, knowing he wasn't gonna stop without someone telling him to. He rambled on how he wanted to help and didn't like seeing her like this.

It made her smile. Every time she was upset and was too upset to talk during the time he was alive - he stayed by her side till she told him what was wrong. No matter what he's doing or was... His full attention would turn to his only daughter.

So she did what she knew would make Remus stop his rambling.

"Dad." He froze, not realizing after a second, his mouth quirked up into a small smile and he let out a little giggle. With tears in her eyes and a forced smile - she chuckled, shaking her head at him.

Even though it was a forced smile, she really wanted to actually smile. Because that's the exact same reaction every time he'd be rambling to her and she'd cut him off with a stern - Dad.

It made her heart swell.

"Please go. I'll be with you guys in a minute" It took a little hesitance before he nodded, walking upstairs to where the boys are probably still freaking out.

And it all came back to her.

They're in 1977, the past - when their parents were younger than them.

They now know about Maggie being Remus's daughter, and Harry being James and Lily's son. James was probably going mentally insane at that news. She just had to wait and see if she'd tell Sirius, he's Harry's godfather - which she knew he'd go ballistic in excitement when he found that out too.

"Oh my god..." She groans, squeezing her eyes shut, and honestly wanted to hit something.

She tried calming her heightened senses and her nerves. Her hands shook as she felt the pain of her transformation possibly about to come.

"Harry, Harry, Harry..." She whispers repeatedly, trying to get her breathing to calm down and she smiles shaking her head.

Usually, she'd always have Harry to help calm her down during possible transformations. But when he wasn't there to comfort her, she always whispered his name to calm her. Just his name can soothe her and pretend his presence is with her.

"Oh my GOD-" She stopped, hearing a loud groan and furrowed her eyebrows. She looked behind one of the couches seeing Peter lying there now awake. He looked around confused before opening his mouth but not speaking since he didn't know what to say.

She sighed... What is she gonna tell Peter Pettigrew - she can't just tell him he was the reason why a whole war started and we all hated him in her year and died, making everyone happy.

But then she smiled, looking at the confused shorter boy.

"Come on Pettigrew, I think you have a lot to catch up on."
