Potter Manor was the grandest Manor in history. Some people even went as far to say that it was better than Hogwarts but that was an exaggeration. Harry Potter on his bed staring up at the charmed ceiling above his head. He was slightly in a meditating state until his brother James Potter entered his bedroom without permission like he usually did. "Hey Bro. Mum wants us down stairs in the next few minuets so get your lazy carcass of that lump you call a bed" said James with his customary smirk when Harry knew he was just playing him up.

Harry chuckled and laughed at how much James wanted to go back for their fourth year at Hogwarts. Harry knew that James just wanted to get on Lily Evans good side but he never would unless he got more mature. Lily had often asked why James wasn't like Harry in his behavior. Unknown to James, Harry and Lily were very good friends as they were very similar character's.

Harry groggily, swayed his muscular and strong not to mention slightly long legs over the edge of the four poster bed. Harry had always been taller than James and James often complained about the un fairness of it while Harry only teased his brother about it. Even though they were the same age and there birthdays weren't that far apart but Harry being the slightly older one. Harry strode over to his wardrobe and pulled the oak door open revealing a rather large set of cloths. Every morning, Harry had trouble picking out what cloths to wear and it was about twenty minuets until he eventually ever made a decision. James often complained about it when they needed to leave but Harry just ignored him and his complaining. Harry pulled out an emerald green top what showed off his muscular chest and arms rather well. He wasn't one for showing off but he didn't think that it was bad to show of your body once in a while. He wasn't like his brother when James was in front of Lily. The things James did to impress Lily were countless and Harry knew they were as Lily had said to Harry on a number of occasions that she often just picked them up and gave them to another person and wrote that persons name on address but she always left James's name on the letter making the person who she gave it to think that James Potter was interested in them when it was actually Lily Evans who he was interested in. This had caused girl after girl to crowd around him and declare them undying love for him again and again. That was why, half the time, Harry just kept away from James and left his slightly younger brother all the questions what was being thrown at him in whether he wanted to go out with them.

Harry then picked out some loose jeans and pulled them on over his freshly new on boxers. Harry sprayed some deodorant and pulled the t-shirt over his head and made his way to where the pendant Panther hung on the end of a thing golden chain. Harry had been given that by his parents as they knew he was a Panther animagus and they always beamed when the topic came up in a family conversation. No one told the Ministry that he was an animagus, well, not until he was of age and then they would tell them that he was an animagus as it was considered illegal for an underage witch or wizard to be an animagus. James was almost an animagus but he wasn't quit there along with his friends, Sirius Black and Remus Petigrew had been expelled from the school last year when they found out that he had the dark mark. None of his friends what included James's little group ever talked to him again in shame that he had betrayed them but they were also ashamed at themselves that they had made friends with a Death Eater in the making on the Hogwarts express.

Harry made his way down into the kitchen while finishing tieing the necklace up on the back of his neck. Harry sat opposite James and helped himself to some of the food what had been laid out in a kind of celebration what Harry wasn't aware of.

"Is there something happening what I'm not aware of" asked Harry in a confused voice. He looked around and saw that James was also slightly confused at how much food had been set out. They all knew that Sirius wasn't coming otherwise there would be reason to set out all the food as Sirius could eat the contense of an Elephant if he wanted to but, fortunately for them, he didn't.

"There is" answered Elizabeth Potter. Harry couldn't help but notice that she was slightly giddy in happiness at something but Harry didn't think that anything special was happening before he and James left for school today.

"Alright boy's. Finish of your breakfast and then i will tell you what is going on" said Elizabeth who still was wearing a very giddy smile. Charles Potter just grinned at his wife's happiness and went to the dining table and started filling his plate up with some sausages and eggs what had been laid out by Elizabeth herself.

James shrugged his shoulders and went on to stuff as many items of food into ones mouth as he could. Harry just shook his head and looked skeptically at his mother as if not believing what he was hearing. Harry slowly proceeded to eat his food very slowly while looking at his parents with disbelief written in his eyes.

After about half an hour of eating there lunch, Elizabeth gathered the plates and skipped over to the sink and magically started to clean the plates with a swish of her wand. "Alright Mum. You've held it off for long enough now. What is this about" stated Harry while he was running his hand through his hair, something he got from his father and it seemed that James had as well as he ran his hand through his black hair.

"Well, you see. It's not easy to explain but you know that me and your father love each other don't you" started Elizabeth with a kind smile.

"You remind us of that every day. It's disgusting" said James with a sickening sound as if he was being sick.

"You wont think that when you've got Lily Evans all over you" teased Harry, even though he knew it was never ever going to happen. James blushed as Weasley red and looked away from the table with an embarrassed look on his face.

"Enough boys. Now, me and your father love each other and you do something when two people love each other" added Elizabeth like she was explaining it to a five year old.

"Mum, we are not five so will you just say and leave the mushy stuff we already know about and that includes sex" said Harry without hesitating. Harry had started to form something in his mind on what they were going to tell them but Harry thought that James was still so clueless because his face had confusion written all over it. Harry never knew how his brother could be so dumb and him be so smart. It was no wonder why Lily didn't like him as he needed to wisen up a bit as Harry knew that his brother had it in him he just needed to start studding and start to give up the pranks but he knew that James never would do that if his life depended on it.

"Well, I'm pregnant" finished Elizabeth doing exactly what Harry had asked her to do. Harry knew this was coming so he wasn't very surprised when she announced it and just smiled encouragingly at his mum and dad and started for the living room to floo over to his best friend, Andrew Abbott.

James just looked at his parents like they were mad. He was going to be a big brother and wouldn't get teased all the time by Harry. James was so excited that he ran at his parents and hugged them with great force. He didn't know why but he wanted to. James felt Elizabeth's stumoch and and felt a slight bump.

"How far along are you" asked James with delight evident in his voice.

"I am about 3 months along so it wont be any time soon baby" responded Elizabeth what got a scowl from James.

"I'M NOT A BAY" shouted James frustrated. Whenever she called Harry it, he just shrugged it of and smiled at her and took no notice of James's teasing.

"Anyway, can i got to see if Sirius is alright" asked James with a hopeful expression. Elizabeth didn't have time to answer as someone came out the floo network and strolled into the kitchen and tried his best to hid the gash on his leg.

"Sirius, what the hell happened this time" said James who was kneeling down to tend to his best friends leg with a large and concerned expression on his face.

"Nothing happened to my leg, i just tripped when i exited the floo here" lied Sirius with a hopeful look on his face.

"Nice lie Sirius but i know that there is nothing what would give you a gash like you have. A Bruis, yes, but not a gash as there is nothing sharp apart from a rug and I'm pretty sure that that isn't all that sharp" explained James with a calculating look on his face.

"Fine, my parents punished beat me an hour ago because i had stollen one of Bellatrix's dark arts book" replied Harry who looked on on in shame at the floor.

"That's nothing to be ashamed of Sirius. It's your parents who should feel ashamed at what they did and what they have done in the past" reasoned James with a caring look what simbalized that he cared a great deal for his best friend.

"I don't why I'm ashamed of being abused, i just fell that's it's my fault" answered Sirius without the usual joyfulness and his voice wasn't full of laughter and banter that it usually was.

"Mate, you shouldn't feel ashamed as i basically just want to go over to your house and strangle your parents. Better yet, we could play a prank on them". As soon as James had said that, Sirius suddenly lit up with happiness and they both went up to James's room to discuss what kind of pranks they could do. Sirius wasn't quit as happy as he usually was but he wasn't exactly unhappy. He was being Sirius Black who always hid his pain well from people he doesn't know but people he knows well. They can always tell when he's trying to hide something big.

ABBOTT HOUSE

Harry emerged from the Abbott's floo. He looked around to see if there was any activity going on but when he called out, there was no answer. Harry frowned and made his way to the old wooded door what he knew led into the kitchen. Harry knew that Andrew never slept in and was always an early riser. Harry opened the door, well, he tried. Harry had so much resistance coming from the door that he couldn't even open it properly to see if anyone was in there. Harry finally opened the door only to see that Andrew and his girlfriend, Emily Bones were snogging and Andrew had Emily pinned up to the door while his hands explored hungrily around her very attractive body. But boys always said that Emily had nothing against Lily Evans's body. Harry had eventually made his way through the door. Andrew suddenly pulled away from Emily while looking like he had been caught red handed.

"Don't let me interrupt" said Harry with a Slytherin smirk even though he was in Gryfindor along with his brother however, Andrew was in Hufflepuff along with Emily.

"Harry, i didn't hear you come in" started Andrew who still had a very red blush on his cheeks.

"I can see why" cu in Harry who also felt slightly embarrassed at catching two of his best friends in a very compromising position.

"Well, you see, it kind of got out of hand as my parents went out for the day and i kind of took the opportunity to have a little kiss with Emily" stuttered Andrew with very little bravery.

"A little kiss" stated Harry with very raised eyebrows.

"OK, a big kiss but it's the same thing" corrected Andrew while Emily was just grinning with a smugness about her.

"Just because you don't have a girlfriend Harry doesn't mean that you can take it out on my handsome boyfriend here" stepped in Emily. Harry knew she was joking by the way her blue eyes shone.

"Well, i don't really need a girlfriend thank you" replied Harry with a grin.

"Come on Harry. There good things to have and plus you can count on them when you go to them that they will get you out of a bad mood" stated Andrew with a joyful grin.

"Right, so, how have you been Emily" asked Harry trying to steer away the conversation to where he saw it going.

"I've been fine thanks. Nothing much has happened other than regular visits to Andy here but apart from that, nothing" answered Emily who rapped her hand around Andrews waist. Harry just pretended to look away in embarrassment at the two in front of him.

"Well, i better be off. Meet you two at the platform in an hour" announced Harry as he made his way back over to the floo network and made his way back to Potter Manor where he came across Sirius getting treatment for his leg.

"Hey Sirius, how you doing" asked Harry to Sirius who was plotting something with James while Elizabeth healed the cut on Sirius's leg.

"Fine Harry. How's Andrew and your holidays been" replied Sirius without looking up from the piece of paper on the table.

"Yeah, Andrews fine and my holidays, nothing much has happened" answered Harry, making his way to his room across the hall to get his stuff ready.

An hour later, they were all ready to go with Sirius returning to Black Manor and James eventually getting everything together. Harry very much looked forward to the year coming up at Hogwarts.
