The next morning came quickly and Harry and Lily were walking to the Great Hall when they heard yells and whimpering in the next corridor. Running towards the yells the found James had Peter Pettigrew by the collar.

"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME? TO LILY? YOU'RE NOTHING BUT VERMAN!" James yelled at the small boy who was quivering in fear making incoherent words.

"James! What are you doing?" Lily yelled

"Jamie let Peter go he didn't do anything!" said a boy with long black hair and a handsome face. Harry recognized this boy as Sirius Black.

Harry sensing James was going to go into a more violent manner ran up and pulled James hand off of Peter's collar. "You know what he did, Harry! How can you just walk around as if this man is innocent?" James yelled to Harry. Before Harry could speak a very younger but still stricken looking McGonagall came around the corner. "What's going on here?" She questioned examining the situation. Looking around she saw a fuming James, Lily who looked scared, a whimpering Peter, a very confused Sirius, Remus Lupin who was standing in the shadows, also she saw a young boy who she didn't recognize but assumed to be Harry Potter the boy Dumbledore spoke to her about.

Once more she repeated, "What's going on here?" Lily was the first to speak. "Just a misunderstanding Professor. Really, it's been taken care of. We're all of too breakfast now." Lily said with a reassuring smile everyone was surprised she managed. "Well, all right then I will trust you're in good hand with Miss Evans and Mr. Lupin then. I'll still have to report this to the Headmaster although." McGonagall said turning around and walking back the way she came.

James angry subsided at hearing the Headmaster was going to be informed. "We're done for." Harry groaned leaning against the wall. Lily came over and put a comforting hand on his shoulder.

"Will someone tell me what the bloody hell just happened?!" Sirius angrily said going to stand by Peter.

"Now Sirius I surely think Prongs has a very good reason for almost strangling Wormy." Remus said looking towards James.

"Well you see," James started looking towards Lily and Harry as if to ask if he could tell them. Harry shook his head no. "They're my best mate, Harry how can I just not tell them?" Harry just looked at James until he hung his head in defeat. "I can't explain Pad, I have a good reason though."

"Apologize to Pete then, not me." Sirius said his anger also disappearing.

When James looked at Peter a flash of anger once again shone in his eyes but subsided so quickly no one but Harry saw it because for the first time since he showed up here Harry saw himself in his father. "Wormtail, Peter, I'm sorry really I guess sometimes I hold on to futu- er, past mistakes you might've made." Peter just shook his head and the Marauders, plus Harry and Lily, headed down to the Great Hall hoping a nice breakfast would make this event disappear.

As everyone was eating and laughing it seemed as if the whole fiasco never happened until three owls flew over Harry, Lily, and James' head and each dropped a letter into their eggs and toast. They all glanced at each other before they picked up the letters.
