Attack My Family & I Attack You
"Harry, where have you been?" Hermione asked, "We went to Dumbledore but he wouldn't tell us where you went with Remus and we've been so worried about you," she added as Harry entered the Gryffindor common room.
Hermione stopped dead when she saw who was behind him. Remus, Sirius and a man who looked identical to Harry were out in the corridor.
"Don't worry Hermione! I'm perfectly fine."
"So are we going to do it now?" Sirius whispered to the unknown man.
"No, not yet," he whispered back.
"Dad, Sirius and Remus are planning to do a prank on Snape," Harry explained.
"Your dad?" Hermione said in shock.
"Yeah," Harry said, "Grandpa and Grandma are back home and Mum's in Dumbledore's office," he added, "Where as Dad wanted to meet all of my friends." "What?" Ron asked.
"Harry!" James called and Harry turned around, "We're going to have to go now, okay?" he said.
"Yep, okay," Harry said, "See yah, dad," he added, running up to his father and hugging him around the middle.
"Don't worry Harry," James said, ruffling his son's hair. The three men left and they started to walk down the corridor. Harry watched their retreating backs with a broad grin on his face.
"Severus, please stop it."
James heard it and stopped dead. Harry, Ron and Hermione looked down at the other end of he corridor to see Lily Potter and Snape walking towards them.
"Come on Lily," Snape said.
"Severus I'm going to do it and you won't like it," Lily said.
James, Sirius and Remus spun around and saw what Snape was doing.
"Hey Sniverlus, What do you think you're doing?" James yelled, rage clearly shown in his face.
"No James, I can handle this."
James stayed put because he had learned that when Lily said those things she meant them but he didn't leave. Snape was staring at James with his lip curled.
"What are you going to do Potter?" Snape said.
"For your information Sniverlus. Sirius, Remus and I are your colleges and so is Lily."
"James," Lily said, jogging towards him, "Now, don't do anything stupid," she added. Then there was a big bang and Lily spun around to find Snape hanging upside down by his ankles.
Then she saw that it was Harry who had done it.
"What? I couldn't have just let him send a curse, now could I?" Harry said, with a quirked eyebrow.
"Harry, you attacked a teacher," Hermione whispered with a stern and shocked voice into his ear.
"Who was just about to attack my family," Harry argued.
"Harry, put him down," James said, looking Harry in the eye.
Harry stared back and then flicked his wand at Snape who fell into a heap on the floor. Snape got up and glared at Harry, who just glared right back.
Then he turned to face Ron and Hermione and jerked his head upwards to the boy's dorm. They left up the stairs and James, Lily, Sirius and Remus turned around and left Snape in the corridor. James had his arm around Lily's waist and Lily had her head rested against his shoulder. Snape glared at their retreating backs until they turned the corner and disappeared.
"Come on Ron, you can do this mate," Harry said.
"No I can't Harry," Ron mumbled, "I'm just as bad as Wood was."
"No Ron, you're really good. You're just not trying hard enough," Harry said.
They were on the Quittich pitch and it was practice time.
"Try!" Harry added, shoving Ron's Quittich gloves into his hands. They mounted their brooms and kicked off to join the team in the sky again. Ron headed over to the goal hoops while Harry searched for the Snitch.
Ginny passed him with the Quaffle and she smiled at him as she flew past. Harry came to a stop and spotted the Snitch at Lavender's feet. Then it started to fly towards the goalposts. Harry shot towards it and caught it with tips of his fingers which almost slipped on the smooth object. He blew the whistle and called the team in for the end of practice. They landed just as it started to rain and they ran into the change rooms. "Good job everyone!" Harry called. They all got dressed and ran up to the castle in the rain.
In the Entrance Hall they were greeted by an unfriendly Snape. "5 points from each of you for being all wet," Snape said.
Harry's head jerked up towards the place where Snape was. Harry's fringe was plastered to his forehead and his robes and hair were drenched.
"That's not fair professor," Harry said.
"Well would you rather me higher the limit, would you?" Snape said, "And I see you've been hit by a bludger," he added, indicating Harry's cheek which was bleeding.
"Actually on the way back we ran into the Whomping Willow."
"Lost your way, did we?" Snape asked, his lip curling.
"No, it's just really difficult to find the way back to the castle when it's raining heavily," Harry said in a matter-of-fact voice.
"What's going on here?"
Snape turned around to see James and Sirius. James was the one who said it.
"It's past curfew. Why aren't you all in bed and why are you all wet?" he added.
"Sorry dad we lo-,"
"Your son claims to have accidentally led his team into the Whomping Willow on the way up to the ca-," Snape started but James's glare stopped him in mid-sentence.
"I didn't know you were meant to be patrolling the corridors tonight," Sirius stated, glaring at Snape with the same glare that James had.
"Is it really any of your business Black?" Snape said.
"Enough Snape, now get out of here, before I call the headmaster," James said. Snape left glaring at James as he walked past the two men.
"We'll take you all back to your common room," Sirius said and he and James led the way to the Gryffindor common room. When they were about half way a voice rang out from behind them.
"James!"
James and Sirius stopped dead in their tracks. They all turned around to see Lily coming towards them.
"Yes, Lily Flower," James said.
"Don't act like you do not know what's happened James," Lily said, putting her hands on her hips.
James put on a curious face but this didn't help with Lily's attitude.
"Stop James," Lily said, "I know that you know what I am talking about," she added, pointing a finger at James accusingly.
"Um, Lily! Can we deal with this later?" James asked, "Cause we're kinda in the middle of taking these kids back to their common room," he added. Then Lily, for the first time, noticed Harry and the Gryffindor Quittich team.
"What are you all doing out after curfew?" Lily asked, looking from one student to another and then her gaze rested on Harry.
Harry just smiled weakly.
"Well, we were at Quittich practice and it started raining and we lost our way and ran into the Whomping Willow," Harry said and the other team members started nodding their heads.
"Okay! I'll come with you two to make sure you do take them back," Lily said, pointing at her husband and Sirius.
"What? Are you saying we're irresponsible?" Sirius said offensively.
"That's exactly what I'm saying," Lily said, going ahead. Then everyone else followed her. After a few minutes James ran to catch up with her and they held hands.
