Everything was pitch black. He felt weightless, as if the weightless charm was being used on him. He couldn't see, move or talk. Not that he tried the latter two. The only thing he knew for sure was that he could breathe. Taking in deep, slow breaths to calm his nerves. Each breath he took, there was a familiar scent that was captivating him, making his mind fall into a trance-like state. Urging him to try and find the source of the intoxicating smell.

"Harry? Are you okay?"

That voice. It was very familiar. But who does he know that has a voice thats angelic as that one? Maybe it was Ginny. It has been a month since he saw his girlfriend. Ya thats it.

"I think he's coming to."

No, that voice was Ginny and it was nothing like the other one. It wasn't even close to being melodic. Maybe if he tried to open his eyes he could just look and see.

*~*~*

Ginny, Ron, Hermione, Remus and Sirius all were bent down over Harry. They had all taken turns to try and get Harry back into the waking world. Ginny, Ron, Remus and Sirius having no luck at even getting Harry to react. Hermione tried last and seemed to have an effect on him. He slowly started to move around. First with his fingers twitching.

"Hermione, try to shake him awake or something. He seems to only react to you."

Hermione nodded and scooted closer to her best friend.

*~*~*

Harry tried to move his hands. Apparently he could move but it took a lot of energy so he decided to just lay there. Wait, the scent, it was getting stronger! That means the source is near. He suddenly felt a light weight on his shoulders. That must be the lovely smells source. Should he try to capture it? He slowly moved his arms, seeing if he would be able to grasp it.

*~*~*

"His arms are moving and his eyelids are fluttering."

"That means he is about to wake."

That all watched as Hermione shook her friend. Being gentle as to not start him but hard enough to ease him out of unconsciousness.

*~*~*

He quickly grabbed the object that seemed to radiate the addicting scent and wound his arms around her and opened his eyes, blinking many times from the brightness of the lights. He glanced confusedly at the people gathered above him. Moving from Ron to Ginny and finally ending up on Sirius.

"Whats going on?"

"Well mate, you gave us a right scare. You saw your surprise and landed on the floor taking Hermione with you."

Suddenly noticing that something was wiggling in his grasp he looked down to come face-to-face with the said person. He blushed and let go of her and she sprung up and scooted away.

"My surprise. It wasn't a dream was it?"

"No Harry. I couldn't believe it either!"

"W-where are they?"

They helped him to his feet and Sirius engulfed him in a hug. Sirius escorted him to the living room of the house.

"Harry, I would like you to meet your parents, James and Lily Potter."

*~*~*

Sirius watched with a smile on his face. This was the most heartwarming moment that anyone can see. The love shown by this reunited family was astronomic. His eyes began to water, so he wiped his eyes and walked back into the kitchen with the smile still plastered on his face.

"Wow Sirius, you look like your about to cry."

"Well Moony, that was the most heartwarming moment that I have ever witnessed and probably the most heartwarming moment I could ever witness!"

"I'm so glad. Harry deserves this after what has happened."

Sirius, along with everyone else in the kitchen, agreed with this. Sirius was amazed that he was alive once again. Apparently he was a special case with the veil. It was a fluke that he was alive and he knew it. And Damn it if he doesn't spend as much time with his family and friends. After being in Azkaban for twelve years and then falling in the veil he realized that at any given moment he could die or lose one of his loved ones. He vowed to himself that he will live life to the fullest and maybe even settle down enough to have a family. Since he was pardoned and being reimbursed from the Ministry he fully intended to do this.

"Hey Padfoot, I've never seen you so pensive."

"Of hush up Moony. I can be pensive every once in awhile."

"Yes you can but its just too weird."

"Very funny Moony."

*~*~*

"I can't believe you guys are alive. I keep thinking that I'm going to wake up and be back at the Dursley's again."

"Harry, your dad and I are back. Which reminds me, we are going to have a nice chat with my dear sister."

"Ya Prongslette, There is no way there are going to separate us now! I'm going to make up for all those years."

Harry just nodded and hugged them tighter. He was crying and he didn't care. He had his parents back and His godfather back! Everything was going just how he had always wanted it.

"Mum? Dad? How is it that you are back? I mean, I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth, but Voldemort did kill you with the killing curse."

"Come on Harry, I'm sure everyone in the kitchen is wondering this. We'll explain there."

*~*~*

"Okay everyone, I bet you all are wondering how Lily and I are alive. Along with how Sirius is alive."

Everyone nodded and sat at the tables or leaned against the counters. James had everyone's attention.

"I'll start with Padfoot. The reason he is alive is amazing really. The veil just kind of spat him back and he woke up next to it. No one actually knows how it happened. All they know is that Sirius is completely intact and is completely normal. Well normal for Padfoot."

Everyone grinned at that statement as James just smiled innocently as Sirius mumbled hexes that he was going to perform on James.

"Now - oh hush Padfoot, You know its true- anyways, The reason Lily and are alive is that well, when Harry defeated Voldemort, it reversed every killing curse that Voldemort has ever done and everyone who was killed by the killing curse that was administered by Voldemort returned alive and fully aware of everything."

James couldn't conceal the pride that he held for what Harry did. Neither did Remus or Sirius.

"Now first things first!"

James grinned and looked at Remus and Sirius.

"James what are you planning?"

"Nothing dear. I just want to speak to Harry, Hermione, and Ron"

"James..."

*~*~*

The ones mentioned plus Remus and Sirius were all gathered in a room upstairs. The rest of the Marauders were standing side by side and grinning at the teenagers.

"Okay, this is going to be a secret."

"Yes don't tell Lily, she'll kill us all."

"Right you are mate."

"This is going to be the first second generation of Marauders. We have carefully picked you lot out of all the people we could have."

"No we didn't Padfoot."

"Fine burst my bubble then, Moony. What I meant to say is that we want you all to become Marauders and leave Hogwart's with a bang!"

"Which you three don't seem to have trouble with each year but, this year, your going to be animagus and we'll specially train you!"

"I think Padfoot is getting way ahead of himself. Moony mentioned to me that you are already animagus and unregistered at that?"

"Ya. All three of us plus Ginny and Fred and George."

"Hey why didn't anyone share that bit of information with me?"

"We tried. You were spacing. Anyways, we wanted to see your forms."

"Alright."

"Ron you go first."

Ron looked at His two best friends and nodded at them. He closed his eyes and slowly red fur sprouted all over his body. His ears went to the top of head and became flat and pointed upward. His nose grew and a muzzle replaced it and his mouth. He fell to his feet and a tail grew from his behind and his legs shorted and grew fur and paws. After a few moments there was a pretty large red wolf with white paws standing where Ron once was. The wolf had flecks of darker red around his muzzle signaling his freckles and his eyes were still the blue.

"Sweet another dog type!"

"Hush Padfoot. Hermione your next."

She nodded and copied Ron and light brown hair started to cover her body. Her long, curly tresses shortened and disappeared only to reappear as short brown fur. Her ears went to the top of her head like Ron's but instead of becoming pointed it became rounded. A feline nose took the place of her normal human nose and long whiskers popped out. White hair covered her chin and her mouth turned into a more feline mouth with large teeth that looked razor sharp. Her body grew and her legs and arms turned into muscular legs with huge paws at the end of it. A tail began to grow from the end of her back and revealed a long tail with short brown hair covering it. Hermione finally stood up and there was a lioness with her normal honey brown eyes. She was much bigger than the red wolf that is Ron.

"Wow. A true Gryffindor."

"Do you have to comment after every transformation Padfoot?"

"Why yes Prong's I do. Ten galleons says that Harry is a Stag."

"Ill take that wager."

"Okay Harry, my boy, your next."

Harry just smirked and looked at Sirius while he started to change. Golden hair quickly covered his body and his ears went to the top of his head like Hermione. His hair turned a darker gold than the hair that now covered his body and grew out and around his ears and down his back, around his neck and down his chest. His body grew and he fell slightly to the ground as his legs and arms took shape. His nose flattened at turned into a feline nose. Thick whiskers came from his lips and his chin began to turn more feline like and turned white just like Hermione. His pitiful human teeth shifted into longer and sharper canine teeth. A long tail matching the golden hue of his body grew from his back but unlike Hermione's his tail had a tuft of darker and longer hair at the end. He stood up after his transformation and he towered over Hermione and he puffed out his chest and glanced at Sirius. If a lion could smirk he would be.

"He's a Lion..."

"Cough up the galleons Padfoot."

"What no comment? Harry your a true Gryffindor. You too Hermione."

"Okay you all change back and we'll go for a little trip."

They all changed back. It was quicker to change back from there animal forms to human form.

"How about we bring Fred and George into this? You guys said they were unregistered also."

"Yea they are. We can go them real quick."

"Smashing idea Hermione. How about you and Harry do that while I have a chat with Ron real quick?"

"Okay?"

Hermione and Harry quickly left to find the other Weasley's.

*~*~*

"So what's this all about?"

Ron was confused. What would the Marauders' want with him? Especially sending Harry and Hermione away. Wouldn't they rather talk to Harry or even Hermione since she is the brains of the three.

"Ron we have several questions for you."

Sirius being himself made Ron sit in a little stool that was placed in the center of the room. A light was right above him making around him darker. It reminded him of all those muggle cop movies that his father talked about. He watched nervously as James and Remus walked to where they were standing near Sirius and they all turned to him and grinned. James was the first one to speak.

"So we understand that Harry is going out with your sister."

"Y-yes. For a month now."

James nodded and turned to Sirius and gave him a slight nod.

"Yet, I haven't seen them hug, hold hands or anything that suggests that they are together."

"Well I guess they aren't big on PDA?"

Sirius seemed to get really into the good cop bad cop theme and starting pacing in front of Ron with a blank face.

"I see. Well what do you think of their relationship? Don't worry this doesn't leave the room."

"Well honestly,-"

"Yes we want it to be truthful."

James walked to where he was beside Ron and Sirius followed suit but on the other side.

"I honestly don't think that they are good for each other. I used to think that Harry would marry Ginny and I would marry Hermione but coming back from the department of mysteries I noticed that Harry was more worried about Hermione than anyone else. I realized that they truly love each other but are blind to their feelings."

James and Sirius nodded and walked off grabbing Remus who was just standing in front of Ron rolling his eyes at his friends. They walked to the farthest corner from Ron and huddled down.

"Should we tell him?"

"I think we could use his help. If he promises to not tell Harry."

"Good idea Moony!"

They walked to where Ron was sitting. Ron looked at them when they stopped walking.

"Well Ron, we could use your help if your willing and if you promise to not tell a soul."

"Sure. What is it that you need help with?"

"Well you see..."

"This is hard to explain but..."

"Just tell him guys."

"Pushy much Moony?"

"Well Ron, Harry is a half Veela."

Thanks for the reviews! Its really appreciated
