We start by getting you caught up. You and Peter have some books to read. We go through those, figure out the best way to change things, and then...then, we figure out how to remember when we go back.
[Not if. When. Even after all this time, James has to insist it's when they go back.]
We'll have to wait until we're all back - you're a good year behind me, so when we go back you'll know this all a full year before I do. It'll be hard, but if we do this all correctly, I'll just suddenly know about this one day, a year later. Remus will too before then, and then Lily, then Peter last. And if we don't...
[James glances at the board, looking for a good move to prove his point. He decides to have his castle capture Sirius' poor, innocent bishop.]
...if we don't, then I suppose we won't know any better.
