Do not own Harry Potter!

AN: really sorry that it has taken me this long to update, but you see we've had a bit of a family crisis. My aunt and uncle are getting a divorce, therefore my aunt and two cousins are living with us right now and then my brother goes and decides that he needs to break himself playing rugby. He had a broken ankle, dislocated and fractured knee cap, and had ripped his tendons away from his leg. So needed and operation and several days in hospital which called for me staying with him. And then while all the adults where at court I was the only one left to look after my cousins so….. life's been a little busy . Again sorry but enjoy.

Chapter 4

Walking through the Great Hall to get to their seats at the Gryffindor table proved highly embarrassing for everybody, bar Harry. As the doors opened and the group walked in the hall fell into a dead kind of silence. Everybody just stared at the dead people from the future and the Marauders second generation. Taking their seats at the very end of the Gryffindor table the whispers started.

'Did you see his face?' 'I wonder who Harry's mother is' 'I wonder how they died' 'what's with the scar in his forehead?'

Padfoot, James and Moony where starting to fidget. Abet, Sirius, Remus and Tonks weren't doing much better they still found it in themselves to laugh at their younger self's. Harry, however sat there completely impassive of it all, and Teddy who didn't seem to understand it all, stabbing at his pancakes.

"How can you just sit there and not feel uncomfortable?" Moony had asked Harry, who had replied with a simple 'I'm used to it'. Getting a chuckle from the people from the future.

"Oh, guys where's Wormtail?" James had asked as they got up to leave the hall.

"He was still sleeping when we left," Padfoot said, "do we want him for the meating?"

"NO!" came the quick reply from Sirius, Remus and Harry.

"Ok, sorry."

"Actually there is another person that we should bring to the meeting. I'll go and get her." Harry said, winking at Sirius and then jogging back the way they came.

"Who?" Moony asked.

"His mum," was Tonk's short answer.

"Oh, so tell us a bit about Harry. I mean we know he's a second gen of us and all but what's he like?"

"Yeah! Does he play Quidditch?" James asked excitedly wanting to know everything about his son.

"Yup, he does. Bloody brilliant at it to, could give you a run for your money Prongs. He was on the teen in his third year but I don't know about before. I was out of the country on work. Totally cut off to his first to school years. Worst time of my life." Sirius lied smoothly, although most of it was the truth.

James looked like Cheshire cat hearing that as Remus continued.

"His best subject is DADA, he's modest, lives up to his responsibilities, has amazing friends that love him to death and no matter how many bad and depressing things happen in his life he still manages to have a good time," Remus finished with a smile. "Oh and Hermione says that he has a saving people complex."

"Does that mean he was alright after I died?" Sirius asked, getting winces from the group.

"To start with no, he trashed Dumbledore's office and said that he didn't want to be human anymore so that he didn't have to feel the hurt." Tonks said quietly. Tears came down Sirius, James and Padfoot faces while both Remus' looked withdrawn.

"I did that to my own godson?" Padfoot asked weakly.

"You didn't mean to and he blamed himself because you only went there to save him." Remus put in. "It took me a month of telling him that you were a grown man that could make is own decisions before he stopped blaming himself. But in the end it made him stronger and more determined."

"Oh, OK."

By now they were at the head masters office, after five minutes of guessing the password 'lollypop' they all piled onto the spiral staircase and into the office.

Dumbledore was say in a chair behind his desk and the silver instruments that Harry had once smashed into a thousand little pieces still sat whirling and puffing colourful smoke.

"Good morning everybody," he said with a cheery smile. "Take a seat. I see we are one short."

"Yes Sir, Harry has gone to get his mother," Remus said answer in silent question.

"Ah, right. Here they come now." the elderly headmaster motioned to the door, which flew open to revile Harry and Lily. "Please take a seat."

Lily places herself in a seat next to Tonks and Harry took one between his father and Fred. Once everybody was comfortable Dumbledore started.

"I would like to know Harry, who everyone in this room is to you and then, if you don't mind, share your story with us. I understand that this is very difficult for you but, needs must."

"I understand Sir," taking a deep breath Harry continued. "James Potter is my father. Sirius/Padfoot is my godfather. Remus Lupin/Moony is my uncle in everything but blood, same goes for Tonks. Teddy is their son and my godson. Fred is one of my close friends and also my brother-in-law. And finally Lily Evan is my mother."

The room sat in silence and James much to everybody's surprise didn't start jumping around and screaming that he had finally got his dream girl. He had figured it out the day before and it was still a rather big shock, but when he had asked Sirius how he had won her over during breakfast he had said that James matured and that's what did it.

Lily was sat in an utter stunned silence. Shore she had been spending a lot more time with Potter and he was starting to grow on her but she was only just starting to think of him as a friend, not least a boyfriend! It suddenly came to her attention that Harry could be lying but he had told her things that only she knew about herself and Severus Snape, and he also had her eyes. The whole time he was talking to her they were looking eye to eye and his were hers. The same shape and size.

Padfoot cut the silence "we all knew that is would happen eventually!"

The whole office gave a chuckle even producing a weak one from Lily.

"So Harry, am I a good mother?" Lily had come to the conclusion that this was all going to happen in the future so might as well let it play out and enjoy having her son here with her for the time being.

"You really are mum. The best mother any child could every ask for." He gave her a weak smile which she returned, "but I think that you've broken dad."

Lily looked over at James. He was just sat there staring into space. She smirked.

"Really Potter? You've just been told that you marry you 'one and only, love of your life, Lily-Flower and you're not even exited?" she asked in a mock angry tone.

"I just don't get it" he whispered quietly.

"Get what?"

"You hate me. Why would you go out with, marry and then have a child with someone you hate?"

Lily sighed. Time for the truth.

"I don't hate you James. I'm starting to see you as a friend and I guess that you are just growing on me, and maybe even growing up a little." She said, her eyes never leaving his.

"Really?" his eyes looked up to meat hers.

"Really."

"I'd say kiss but you don't get together until next year, but feel free to speed up the proses," Sirius said breaking up the special moment between the two people that he missed most in the world.

Another round of laughter filled the office.

"So what did I do to win Lily over?" James asked the future people.

"Exactly what Lily said. You grew up and matured and she fell for you." Remus said.

"You know I don't know why, but this is really reminding me of Ron and Hermione," Fred said with a thoughtful look on his face. "What have they done with them self's Harry?"

"Well they both got married….. to each other."

Three jaws hit the floor.

"Hey Moony, you owe me another five gallions."
