As soon as dad walks in the door he calls for mum.
"Ginny, he saw, we need to talk."
Mum comes into the room, but not in a cheerful mood as she usually does.
"We knew this day was coming, I just didn't think it would be so soon."
"Well, by tomorrow the rest of the wizarding world will know too. The dam..er…stupid reporters (mum still gives dad a look when he starts to curse around us) were all excited that he finally saw and we have the "joy" of sharing our history with our son."
Mum and dad look into each other's eyes with a look of sadness. What could be so sad about being famous?
"James, lets go into the kitchen to talk." As soon as dad walked into the kitchen he pulled out his wand and started saying spells. Mum looked at me and said, "its so your brother and sister don't hear, along with any other eavesdroppers."
I sit down at the table and Mum and Dad sit down on either side.
"Son, it is a long sad story on why we are famous. It is hard to think about, but impossible to forget. The reason I am famous goes far back to when I was only one year old. You see there was very evil wizard named Lord Voldemort. He murdered my parents, your grandparents, and tried to kill me. For some unknown reason at the time, I survived and he disappeared. That is where I got my scar from. As you know, I was raised be the muggles and then went to Hogwarts when I was eleven. It was at that school were I met your mum and all your aunts and uncles. That year I met Voldemort for the second time where Uncle Ron and Aunt Hermione helped me along the way. I kept him from returning that year and in the process his follower, Quirrell died. The next year I defeated him again went I went into the Chamber of Secrets to save your mum. Though at the time she was only the sister of my best friend. The beginning of third year was about to start when news of an escaped prisoner was released. His name was Sirius Black."
"Wait," said I, "my middle name is Sirius" in a quizzical tone.
"Yes" dad replied, "you will find out the reason here shortly." He took a deep sigh before going on.
"That summer, all the adults were being extra nice to me, but also being overprotective. I didn't know why until I over heard your grandparents the night before leaving for Hogwarts. Sirius was put in Azkaban for murdering Peter Pettigrew and a bunch of muggles right after the fall of Voldemort. All the guards knew was he had escaped and before he kept saying "He's at Hogwarts, he's at Hogwarts." Everyone thought the "he" was me. I spent the entire year having people watch over me but it ended up that it didn't matter. During the last weeks of school, the truth came out. Uncle Ron, Aunt Hermione, and me had all gone down to visit Hagrid before Buckbeak was executed. It was then that Hagrid told Ron that he had found Scabbers, Ron's rat. The entire year Scabbers had been sick and we though Crookshanks, Hermione's cat had ate him. As we were heading back up to the castle, a big black dog came running at us and dragged Ron by his leg to the Whopping Willow. Hermione and I followed them all the way to the Shrieking Shack.
Dad sighed and mom squeezed his hand. That's when mom said, "this night was hard on your father, even though he got over it."
That was confusing.
Dad gave mom a look of thanks and she smiled. "Where was I? Right, Shrieking Shack. When Hermione and I reached there we found out that the dog was an animagus who was Sirius Black. Not long after, Lupin came in took Sirius' side which confused the hell…" Mom gave dad a look. " Er, confused the heck out of us. It was then we learned that Sirius did not betray my parents, but it was Peter Pettigrew. He was also an animagus and turned into a rat. Peter was the spy and who betrayed my parents. My dad, your grandfather was also an animagus. He was a stag. They became animaguses because Lupin was a werewolf. As animals, they could keep him company. They created the Marauder's Map, which shows where everyone is in Hogwarts. They even found all the secret passageways. They each had code names: Padfoot, Sirius, Moony, Lupin, Prongs, James, and Peter was Wormtail. Professor Snape soon came in and was thinking Sirius was guilty. I stunned him because I was desperate for the truth. Sirius got Wormtail to show himself as a human and that is when I accepted Sirius' story. When we were heading back to the castle, Lupin transformed into a werewolf. Sirius also transformed to protect us. During all this Wormtail escaped and went to join Voldemort."
I sat there in awe of my dad as he described fighting off the dementors and saving Buckbeak and Sirius. What was even more amazing was he did this when he was just shy of turning 14. No wonder he was so famous. I sat there for another hour as he described his 4th year. I would never be able to do what he did, fight dragons, swim with merepeople, and get through a maze let alone fight Voldemort. My dad was and still is brave.
Just then mum squeezed dad's hand as he pauses in his story. Also at that moment Lily and Albus are banging on the door wanting lunch.
"Alright, James your father will finish after lunch. We all need a break. Just remember do not tell your brother and sister. They are still to young to understand any of this."
"Yes, mum." Just then dad waved his wand and Albus and Lily come in.
I hope you like it so far. Please give me feedback and maybe some of that will inspire me.
