The six teens left behind looked at each-other in confusion, shrugged their shoulders and raced after Harry…

A/N: okay, um, thanks for the reviews. I appreciate it. Well here's the next chapter, hope you like it.

"Harry, will you stop? What, do you think the hounds of hell are after you already?" Hermione panted, trying to keep up with Harry.

Harry stopped and turned around. He looked at his parents, godfather and former teacher. Hermione followed his gaze. "It seems odd doesn't it?" she asked, the very thought Harry had had when they appeared.

"What are they doing here?" Harry asked out loud. Hermione shrugged. Ron came up to the two just then, in time to hear Harry's question.

"You know, I think they don't even know how they got here. Maybe Professor McGonagall could figure it out," he said, putting an arm around Hermione's waist.

Hermione leaned against him, and sighed. "Too bad Dumbledore isn't here anymore," she said, voicing everybody's thoughts. "But remember Harry, you can't say too much about the future or you might mess something up in your past," she stated.

Harry sighed. "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know," he said, "Would you please stop reminding me?"

"Shush you two, they're coming up," Ron hissed.

Lily and James were arguing; Sirius and Remus were stuffing their fingers in their ears, trying to ignore James and Lily, who were yelling.

"My goodness, what is going on here?" asked the fat lady, who had been woken up by the shouting.

"Never mind that,' Harry said, and gave the password. The portrait hole opened, and the seven of them entered. While James and Lily argued, Harry, Hermione and Ron told Remus and Sirius where the staircases were that they were to go up.

"Do they always do this?" Harry asked; Sirius and Remus nodded.

"James, are you so bloody arrogant that you have to keep saying we're going to get married? I don't even like you," Lily shouted, her red hair waving behind her.

"But Evans, you know—wait, did you just call me James?" James looked so confused, Harry had to laugh.

"Harry," Hermione warned softly; Harry looked at her.

"What?"

"Remember…" Hermione said; her voice faded as she headed up the girls' staircase.

Harry looked at Ron, who shrugged. The two of them started toward the boys' dormitories, Remus tagging along behind them.

James and Sirius stayed behind to talk. "You know, I was always teasing Lily about getting married and having kids, but now I know it actually happened, it's not as much fun teasing her. Actually I was teasing a couple years ago, but last year, things changed."

Sirius shook his head. "Prongs, I know. You don't have to repeat everything over again. I think…" his voice trailed off. The reason was obvious; the sound of footsteps on the staircase.

James looked up. Harry was coming down the stairs, not doing a very good job of hiding.

"What? Why are you staring at me?" he asked cautiously, his foot losing its balance. He slipped a bit, and sat against the wall. The noise he made was terrific. So was the sound of one of the upper doors being opened.

"People are trying to sleep here," said the voice of Ron. Harry snorted. The only person trying to sleep was Ron; everyone else had gone for Christmas.

James looked up curiously. "Oops, I think we are being spied upon, Padfoot," he said teasingly.

Sirius snorted. James could be such a moron.

Lily and Hermione poked their heads around the corner. "What's going on around here?" Hermione asked, at the same time Lily said, "I can't leave you guys alone for a second, can I?"

Harry picked himself up painfully. "Ow," he said, grinning.

About two hours later, Hermione, Ron, Harry, James, Lily, Sirius and Remus sat on the couches facing the fireplace. Hermione was leaning her head on Ron's shoulder, and Lily sat between James and Harry, while Remus and Sirius sat on the floor.

"Does anybody want to play Wizard Chess?" Sirius asked, not liking the silence.

Lily looked at him in disbelief; they were in a different time, and Sirius wanted to play chess with people they didn't know?

Sirius looked back at her impassively. He didn't care whether she started laughing at him or not. He was about to say this when Ron piped up with, "Yeah, I'll play."

Lily sighed and shook her head. James looked between Sirius and Ron as the match commenced. Finally Ron won.

"Oh that's not fair," Sirius said, acting like a baby.

"Well, what did you expect him to do? Let you win?" James asked sarcastically. He was so used to Sirius' antics; it didn't turn a hair on his head.

Harry was grinning. His Godfather had been beaten by his best friend. Man that was something to go in the record books.

Hermione rested her head on Ron's shoulder. The look on Sirius's face was priceless. She almost started laughing.

James looked faintly annoyed. "Can we go to the Head master now?" he asked, blatantly ignoring Hermione and Ron.

"Yeah, that's probably ok now," Harry said jumping up and leading the way toward the door.
