By: Sirius **Padfoot

November 18, 2003

"Hey James Get up lazy! Quidditch today! Slytherin vs Gryffindor remember." Sirius yelled at James as he rolled him out of bed.

"I'm up, I'm up…I remember about that snivilious is there seeker I won't miss that!" James said laughing his head off now.

"Come on let's get breakfast Prongs." Sirius said.

"Right Padfoot. I'm hungry." James said standing up then changing into his cloths and walking out of the 6th year dorms.

"this will be fun. You'll beat Slytherin won't you James?" asked Peter hopefully.

"Of course he will don't pester the Seeker today Wormtail." Sirius said pushing Peter to walk a head of them.

"Oh all right I get it. I'll go find Remus." Peter said and headed off a head of the other two in search of Remus.

A few minutes later Sirius and James walked into the Great hall and went to their normal seats beside Remus and in front of Peter. "Hey James it won't be hard to beat the Slytherin's but just getting to fly is exciting enough." Remus said smiling from ear to ear. It was his second year on the team he was a beater Sirius partner in crime so's to say. They attacked every one on the opposite side no matter if that person had the Quaffle or not.

"That's what I'm saying. This will be easy since Malfoy is keeper and Snivleious is the Seeker." Sirius said while trying to eat his toast with jam on it.

"Just leave every thing to the three of us and we'll win!" James said as the other Quidditch players sat down with them.

"You know James. You too arrogant at times." their captain said shaking his head at them.

"well if we leave it to Peter we are all doomed." Sirius said pointing to the keeper.

" 'At's (That's) mean you guys…" Peter said.

"But It's true 'sn't (isn't) it?" Sirius said taking a drink of his pumkin juice so he could talk properly.

"Leave 'im (Him) alone Padfoot…he may be bad at be'n' (Being) 'eeper (Keeper) but just leave 'im (him) alone…" James said as he kept eating his breakfast.

"All right enough you two are spraying your food all over the table." Remus said in a discusted but amused tone.

"Yes mum!" Sirius said and looked down at his plate like he was in trouble.

"Does that make Peter your dad?" James asked and laughed at the discusted look on both Remus' and Sirius' face.

"That's not even funny Prongs." Remus said.

"I think it is." Peter said laughing.

"You would. You don't have a good since of humor anyway!" Sirius said throwing a piece of toast at Peter.

Later That after noon Gryffindor was getting ready for the Quidditch match against Slytherin when Snape walked in on them.

"Oy Potter I'm going to run you into the ground you Bloody Mudblood lover!" Snape said snidly

"Oy Snivilous nice of you to stop by and say hi to the winners before you're to bloodied up to talk." Sirius said then smirked at Snape.

"It won't be me who's bloodied up it'll be that thing you call a friend and a Seeker!" Snape said then turned on his heal and left.

"We'll see who's bloodied up after today's match now won't we." James said heatedly.

"Now, now James calm down so you can see the snitch." Remus said calmly.

"I'll calm down once I've gave him a bloody nose." James said angrily.

"No James as much as I'd love to do that lets just beat him today then torture the bloody hell out of him all this month." Sirius said.

"That sounds good." James said and smiled. and a few minutes later the two teams were out on the field.

"I want a nice and clean game for once you two." The Madam hooch said as she looked at Remus and Sirius who just started laughing. (I don't know if she was there but she is now.)

"At least we get credit Remus." Sirius said.

"Yeah. Hey let's go after snivleous a lot this game." Remus said and a wicked little smile came on to his face.

"Great idea Remus. I like it. We'll do it." Sirius said getting the same grin.

'Oh no what have those two came up with now?' Madam Hooch thought. Then she blew the whistle and the game started.

"And they're off!" Frank Longbottom said from the stands. "it's seems Gryffindor has already took control of this game like in the previous years. GRYFFINDOR SCORES 10 to nothing!" Frank said as he chreared with the rest of the crowed.

James is mainly just sitting above the game watching it play out like he wasn't even on the team. 'there's the snitch. Na I'll get it later. Make the victory over the Slytherin's better if the game is longer.' James thought as he watched both Sirius and Remus attack Snape with Bludgers.

"Well it seems that our Sirius and Remus have found there new target today. Let's see how long Snape can dodge." Frank said even though he'd love to see Snape fall unconscious to the ground.

"Well those two are going to give him a run for his money for a while." James said and smiled.

"Knock it off you two baboons." Snape yelled at Remus and Sirius.

"Hey Moony he called you a baboon." Sirius said.

"You too if I'm not mistaken Padfoot." Remus said.

"Well lets show him. let's step it up a little Moony!" Sirius said then hit a bludger as hard as he could and just barely missed Snape by inches.

"Got ya!" Remus said as he done the same.

"It looks like Snape has managed to make the doe of Gryffindor mad. Cause man the Slytherin beaters aren't even getting close enough to hit the bludgers. Gryffindor scores! 20 to 0" Frank said.

"do they expect anything less Jamesie?" Sirius said as he flew past James after a bludger and James just started laughing.

"I guess not Sirius, Remus." James said.

"Gryffindor scores 30 to 0! Man Slytherin's aren't even getting a hold of the quaffle." Frank said.

"Leave me alone you two!" Snape Yelled.

"Is he kidding." Sirius said back with one hell of a smile on his face as he hit another Bludger at Snape.

"Gryffindor scores again 40 to 0. This seems like a one sided game folks." Frank said happily.

"Time out!" the Slytherin captain yelled.

"Sirius, Remus, James come here." Derrick the Gryffindor team captain yelled.

"Oh all right we're coming." The three groaned as they landed with the rest of the team.

"Look you know when they call time out's that they start to play dirtier then usual. So keep your guard up no matter what. Don't just look for the bludgers and the Quaffle keep an eye on the whole Slytherin team now. Sirius, Remus you know what to do. James catch the Snitch if this gets out of hand." Derrick said.

"Right!" Sirius and Remus said together.

"Well it's 40 to nothing now around what points do you want me to catch the snitch?" James asked.

"80 to 0 unless they start scoring or attacking our people and we start losing team mates." Derrick said.

"Right 80 or we start losing people." James said to make sure.

"Exactly!" Derrick said.
"The Slytherin's are back in the air and so are the Gryffindor's." Frank said, then Madam Hooch started the game again.

"And Gryffindor is still in control of the game it seems. Sirius and Remus have resumed their attacks on Snape. The Quafull is in the hands of Anna Willis the twin sister of Derrick team captain of Gryffindor." Frank yelled absolutely pleased that Gryffindor was still in control.

"Gryffindor going all the way into Slytherin Territory with the quafull…no Anna was nearly knocked off her broom. Slytherin Cheaters… hey no sence in that she didn't have the quafull anymore. Anna was knocked off her broom by a Slytherin Chaser, Remus caught her though." Frank said angrily.

"You all right Anna?" Remus asked as Derrick made his way to them.

"Sis you all right?" Derrick asked as he came to a stop beside them holding Anna's broom.

"Yeah I'm fine…got a bloody lip though. Darn cheaters. Sorry Derrick I couldn't keep an eye on all of them. It's impossible." Anna said as she sat in front of Remus on his broom.

"Here now you can get your broom and stay on the ground or get back up in the air it's up to you since you're hurt." Derrick said.

"You think I'm going to let their cheating scare me out of playing Quidditch!" Anna said and grabbed her broom from her brother.

"Nope you're too much like me sis." Derrick said and smiled.

"You're like me Derrick. I was born first." Anna said and was back in the air before the other two had a chance to argue with her.

"Well which ever you two are a like." Remus said and rejoined the game that was now going bad for Gryffindor since three players had been on the ground for about two or three minutes.

"40 to 30 Gryffindor in the lead." Frank yelled.

"Bloody hell we were down there long enough to miss three scores made by Slytherin." Derrick said amazed.

"Yep!" Peter said.

"Slytherin with the Quafull again going for a score…No wait Anna takes the Quafull and she's off towards the Slytherin goals. Go show them Cheating doesn't win a game like this." Frank yelled then every one cheered as Gryffindor scored again.

"Way to go sis 50 to 30!" Derrick cheered. "James catch the snitch!" Derrick yelled up to James.

"Right!" James yelled back and started looking for the Snitch and quickly found it. James bounded off towards the Slytherin side of the field after the snitch.

"JAMES LOOK OUT!" James heard Remus and his other teammates yell but he had to catch the snitch. Anna had already been hurt.

"James! James! Get up." Sirius yelled as he ran to James who was unconscious on the ground holding the Snitch in his hands.

"Gryffindor wins 200 to 30 but Gryffindor seeker James Potter is out. The Slytherin's brought in a third bluder and James was hit in the back with it after spotting and catching the Snitch." Frank said as teachers all came running out of the stands to James and the others.

Several hours later the nurse was taking care of Anna's minor injury's since she had just completed every thing she could do for James at the moment.

"Oy where am I? Who won?" Harry asked as he bloted up in his bed.

"Mr. Potter lay back down." The nurse said.

"James Gryffindor won of course silly. We never lose against Slytherin no matter how much they cheat." Anna said and sat down beside Harry.

"Did you just call me my father? And who are you? Where's Ron and Hermione?" Harry asked stunned and confused.

"Ron and Hermione who are they? James I didn't call you, you're father. I'm Anna lead chaser on the team you know that." Anna said like Harry was crazy.

"Where is Dumbledore? I'm not my father and I don't know you." Harry said.

"Dumbledore is a very busy man." The nurse said.

"Since when has that stopped him from seeing me?" Harry said and sat up again. "Fawks hey there. Where's Dumbledore Fawks?" Harry said Dumbledore's Phoenix landed on his pillow.

"James Potter how are you feeling my boy. Seems Fawks has taken an interest in your recovery." Dumbledore said.

"I'm not James Potter people. I'm Harry. You know that Dumbledore. What's wrong with every one?" Harry said.

"Headmaster I think maybe if we let young Sirius and Remus in they may be able to jog some of young James Memory." The nurse said.

"Sirius…you're lying." Harry said defensively then jumped up and started backing away from every one. "Voldemort it won't work this time. I've been tricked too may times by you." Harry whispered as he backed away. He got into the hall way and started to run.

'Sirius died last school year every one knows that. Every one!' Harry thought as he ran into the Main Hall then ran into Sirius and Remus.

"James hey how's your head we were just coming up to check on you." Sirius said and noticed Harry backing away from him.

"James what's wrong with you? Wait where are you going?" Remus said as he began to chase Harry out the front doors of the school.

"I won't be tricked by Voldemort again!" Harry yelled as he continued to run.

"James stop!!" Remus said tackling Harry to the ground. "What's wrong with you?" he asked as he pinned Harry down so he couldn't run again. Sirius came up beside him.

"Good question Moony. Prongs you looked like you had seen a gost when you saw me and Moony." Sirius said completely confused.

"You're not my godfather. You're not my friend and I'm am not James Potter people! I'm Harry Potter!" Harry said as tears came from his eyes.

"You're godfather? Harry Potter…James we are in School at Hogwarts you don't have a son named Harry." Sirius said. Then noticed something on Harry's forehead.

"Remus what's this? When did James get this?" Sirius asked moving Harry's hair a bit.

"I don't know. I've never seen it before." Remus said stunned.

"Don't touch me. Every one know's how I got this retched scar. If you two were who you say you are you'd know that. But you don't. let go of me!" Harry said trying to get Remus off him.

"Look at the friends now. couldn't protect your precious James and now he's angry with you." Snape said.

"Shut up Snape before I do half the things my father did to you." Harry yelled jumping up pointing his wand at Snape after finally shoving Remus off him.

"Hey that's not James' wand." Sirius said stunned.

"What year is this?" Remus asked.

"What kind of stupid question is that 1997 of course." Harry said.

"No it's 1985. You are from the future. Harry Potter, James Potters son." Remus said.

"Harry James Potter yes. Future you mean I traveled back in time? I don't believe you." Harry said.

"It's true Young Harry. I just talked to my future self and James is in your time and you are in ours." Dumbledore said.

"Dumbledore are you sure. How do I know this isn't another trick by Voldemort. I've been tricked so many times I don't believe even you on this." Harry said then Fawks landed on his shoulder.

"Fawks. Is it true? have I been sent back in time?" Harry asked the Phoenix and she just nodded slightly. "All right I believe you but now what?" Harry asked.

"Oh he believes the bird." Sirius said.

"Shut it Sirius. Well Dumbledore what do we do now?" Harry asked.

"You continue you're father's schedual until we figure out how to send you back. Remember you can talk to no one of the future. Every thing depends on the past staying the same." Dumbledore said then turned and went back up stairs.

"Does you're father let you talk like that you just did to me?" Sirius asked.

"How would I know?" Harry said and started back for the castle and Fawks followed Dumbledore. Remus and Sirius followed Harry into the castle then up to the Gryffindor common room which was empty so the three of them just went up stairs to their dorms to sleep.

"Uh…where'd my dad sleep?" Harry asked as he went in and saw three beds still open.

"Right there Harry. Between Remus and myself." Sirius said and laid down on his bed. Remus' bed being closest to the doors had already laid down.

"Oh thanks. Sirius, Remus I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said what I did earlier." Harry said as he sat down on his fathers' bed and looked down.

"Don't worry about it Harry. Time for bed anyway." Remus said and smiled.

"Yeah Harry it's nothing. Don't worry about it." Sirius said and smiled too.

"Thanks you guy's." Harry said and laid down and the three fell asleep rather quickly.
