Disclaimer: I don't own anything Harry Potter

"I'm still trying to wrap my head around all of this." Remus said suddenly to the Potters and Sirius as they made their way to the lake, kid's staring at the group of them, and running away after seeing Sirius. "I mean, this morning, everything was normal. I was sitting down, drinking tea, then I hear a knock on my door, and now this. Unbelievable."

"Well, you know Moony. The Potter's are anything but normal when it comes to this kind of stuff." James joked.

"I'm not complaining." Remus reassured quickly.

"Neither am I! I get out of jail, see my awesome godson, and Remus, and James and Lily are back!" Sirius exclaimed excitedly.

"Yes but you are scaring the students."

"Well Lily-Flower, remember I am an supposed mass-murderer. They probably think I'm going to kill them."

"Really? I thought it was your smell that was driving them away."

"Watch it Prongs, why don't you go ten years in Azkaban and tell me how you smell?"

"Well, I was dead for ten years, does that count?"

"Fair enough. Though that mirror showed you guys looking your best, so that's why you came out all refreshed. But honestly. It's a wonder no one has tried to hex me yet."

"That probably because James kept shouting how you were innocent in the Great Hall. People may realize he was telling the truth but are still wary of you." Lily reasoned before turning to Harry. "You're very quiet Harry. Everything okay?"

"Everything is better than okay! I just like listening to you all. An-"

"HARRY!" A girl's shout cut him off and the group turned to see Hermione and Ron running towards them.

"Hey guys." Was all Harry managed before being punched in the arm by Hermione. "Ow! What was that for?"

"For sneaking out after curfew Harry! You could have gotten into so much trouble if you had been caught. Although I am happy for you!" She hugged him tightly, barely allowing him to breath.

"Geez Hermione! Let him breathe!" Ron exclaimed, though he was mainly staring at the four adults present.

"Oh sorry!" She let go of him and turned to the four adults who were smiling and watching the three friends. Hermione elbowed Harry in the ribs forcefully and gesturing her head in the adults directions.

"Right," Harry said, rubbing his now bruised ribs. "Hermione, Ron, meet my mum, dad, Remus Lupin and Sirius Black. Guys, this is Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley. Their my best friends." He introduced proudly.

"It's very nice to meet you." Lily said.

"Very nice to meet you too Mrs. Potter." Hermione replied.

"Please call me Lily."

"Yeah, none of us have really ever gone for formals or anything, so I'm James, and that's Remus and Sirius. That's what we're called." James said happily.

"Right. Well good to meet you." Ron said.

"Why don't you two join us, we were just heading down to the lake." Lily suggested, Ron and Hermione's faces lit up and they quickly agreed.

Once down at the lake Lily, Remus, Harry, Ron and Hermione all sat down on the grass while Sirius yelled at James for pushing him into the lake.

"Not funny Prongs."

"Yes, actually it is. But let me tell you Padfoot my friend. You do smell so much better. Here." With that James dried him off and transfigured Sirius's clothes into robes. "To hold you off. We can talk to Dumbledore about going into Hogsmeade tomorrow after you name has been cleared in the paper."

"Thanks James." They sat down with the group on the grass and started talking.

"So you have a sister? Glad Molly and Arthur finally got a little girl. You and Harry were actually friends as babies. We would take turns going from our house to the burrow." James said to Ron.

"Really?" Harry asked looking to Ron. "Did you know that?"

Ron held his hands up. "I had no idea. Mum never mentioned it."

"Wonder why." Harry said curiously.

"She probably didn't want you to feel like you had to be friends just because you were before." Hermione reasoned.

"That does sound like Molly. Though I'm so happy you guys became friends."

Harry smiled at his mum.

"Now, I have an important question for my godson." Everyone turned to Sirius expectantly. "You ever seen a game of quidditch? Of course you have, the season has already started this year Are you going to try out for the quidditch team next year?" He jumped up and down and James got an excited look on his face. Remus and Lily just rolled their eyes. Ron and Hermione were trying to hide their smiles

"Nope." James and Sirius's faces fell. "Don't need to. I'm already on the team." Harry stated proudly. They just gaped at him. "I play seeker."

"In your first year? Great job son! I'm proud of you. You must be truly excellent!"

Harry beamed at his father's praise. He had never had anyone be proud of him, and he was happy to have something like quidditch in common with his dad.

"How did you get on the team in first year Harry?" Lily asked perplexed. She was of course very proud of Harry as well.

"Oh well, it all started in our first flying lesson." And Harry went on to tell the tale. James was thrilled at the fact that his son got on the quidditch team, and found it hilarious that he didn't get in trouble, while Lily had more to say.

"Harry. I am happy you were defending your friend but you should not have got on that broom." Harry looked down. "Think about it, you had never flown before, you could have been seriously injured. You should have waited for Madam Hooch to come back and tell her the situation."

"I didn't really think about it. I've always had to solve those kind of problems on my own." Harry told her.

"I understand Harry, just think next time. You could have been hurt."

"But he isn't. He's on the quidditch team! A first-year! Playing seeker! Amazing." Sirius put in. Lily just rolled her eyes and Harry laughed with Hermione and Ron.

"Thank you Sirius, thank you so much for basically encouraging him to pull dangerous stunts." She said dryly.

Sirius smiled cheekily. "What are godfathers for? And anyway Lils, your son in a second-generation marauder. We have to teach him our ways."

"I'm doomed." Lily said.

"Marauders?" Ron spoke up. The adults turned to the kids who all looked confused.

"Fred and George had that marauders map too… what's marauders dad?" Harry asked.

"Well you see, while we were all at school, we created this group, James, Remus, Peter and I" Sirius said, spitting out the name Peter. "Anyway, we were famous in Hogwarts Harry, absolutely loved by everyone." Lily snorted at that and interrupted.

"More like you were arrogant toe-rags pulling pranks. You make it sound like everyone worshipped the ground you walk on Sirius."

"They did."

"Not."

"Whatever, believe what you want Lily, as I was saying we were pranksters. Sneaking out after curfew was our specialty, especially after we made the map, and with James's invisibility cloak."

"But that's against the rules!" Hermione interjected.

"But rules Hermione, are meant to be broken." Sirius retorted.

"Nothing is made to be broken Padfoot, that doesn't even make sense." Remus said.

"Piñatas." Sirius quipped.

"Glow sticks."

"Lily! You're actually encouraging Sirius in this?"

"No Remus, I'm saying that glow sticks are made to be broken. Rules, are not."

"Lily, rules are there to be broken. It's like a rule itself."

"Well if you break every rule you should break that one, meaning you don't break any rules."

"Prongs, back me up here."

"Sorry Padfoot. I've already been on the wrong side of her anger today, don't really wanna be there again." He said holding his hands up. Lily only smiled.

"Most rules are put in place for protection Sirius, that's why it's important. They benefit you."

"Yeah, yeah, whatever. Anyways I'm just going to continue with the story of the marauders."

And he did. James and Remus piping up every time they thought Sirius missed something or had something to add, Lily would put in things too, like the punishments for rule breaking. By the end of the story everyone was laughing.

"You guys were worse than Fred and George!" Ron exclaimed through his laughter.

"Why thank you." The three marauders present took a mock bow, electing more giggles from the kids present.

"So where are you staying tonight?" Hermione asked.

"I suppose here at the castle. Didn't really talk to Albus about that." James thought aloud. "But there are plenty of quarters al over the castle we can go to for the night, Harry, you're welcome to join us. Then we can go into Hogsmeade for breakfast for our day of shopping. By that time, the paper will be out and people will know about us and Sirius. I would invite you two, but we would need special permission from parents an-"

"No Mr. Potter! You guys should get to spend the day with Harry. I feel terribly bad now for intruding on your day like this. I hadn't really been thinking when I saw all of you outside." Hermione blushed.

"Hermione? Not thinking? Never heard of before." That earned Ron an elbow in the ribs from a very bright Hermione, much to everyone's amusement.

"Hermione don't worry." Lily interjected. "We are happy to meet Harry's friends. But I do suggest we head up for lunch now, and after talk to Albus about tonight. How does that sound?"

"FOOD!" Sirius shouted, jumping up and all around, pulling everyone to their feet.

"Same old Sirius." Remus shook his head as they headed up to the castle.

When they got to the Great Hall a lot of people were starting to come in as well. They sat at the Gryffindor table and tried to ignore the stares they were receiving. The Weasley twins came up to them and sat down beside Ron, who was across from Harry, who was in between his parents. Hermione was on Ron's other side and next to her was Remus, then Sirius.

"Why hello, would you lookie here-"

"It seem ickle Roniekins-"

"Just surrounds himself with-"

"The famous people-"

"First the boy-who-lived-"

"Then the Potters-"

"That use to be dead-"

"And finally-"

"Best of all-"

"The marauders!" They said together.

"Oh shut it." Ron said.

"No, no don't! They think we're the best, they can keep talking." Sirius said. "So please, do tell us how awesome we are."

The twins gave identical grins.

"We actually came-"

"For your advice on pranking."

"So that we may someday"

"Be as good as you"

"Ever were."

"I suppose we could give some of our secrets to the next generation. Not all of them of course, Harry, being a second generation marauder, is the only one who gets that."

"I don't know about that…" Lily said. Though she was smiling.

Before anything else could be said, Dumbledore stood up. "I know many of you have probably noticed Sirius Black. I will tell you all this: He is innocent." Red sparks went up to quiet down the yells that had erupted. "He was indeed framed by Peter Pettigrew, who is now in custody and awaiting a trial. I ask you to treat Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin, and the Potter's with the respect you give to your teachers and myself. Thank you."

The rest of lunch was spent with stares, questions (from the Weasley twins) and just enjoying the time they spent together. Kids did come up to ask them questions as well though, at least those who were brave enough. Most were still wary around Sirius, after all, they had grown up being told he was a mass murderer. Other than that, lunch was great.

After the Potter's, Sirius and Remus were done eating, they left the Weasley's and Hermione, and went to go speak to Dumbledore. Dumbledore seemed to know exactly what they wanted though, because as soon as they reached the head table he spoke to them.

"I have arranged for you to staying one of our larger living quarters for as long as needed, it will fit all five of you just fine."

"So I can stay with my parents tonight?"

"Harry my boy, you have gone your whole life without them, you may stay in the quarters for as long as they are if you wish."

"Thank you headmaster." Harry smiled.

"It's my pleasure. Now, the quarters are located right down the hall from the transfiguration room. The picture of the lion, I deemed that as appropriate. The password is set to mischief managed, unless you wish to reset it, which you may do at anytime."

"I think that's perfect Albus, thank you." Remus said, shaking his head. How this man could have known the significance of those two words was beyond any of them.

"Albus, we were wondering if it would be alright to go into Hogsmeade tomorrow morning. The paper with the news will be out by then."

"True, although I fear the media will be trying very hard to breach our wards James."

"We can take the one-eyed witch passage, straight into honeydukes." Sirius said as if they did this everyday. Which, knowing him, he probably did when he was in school.

Albus smiled and agreed. With that, the group of five left the Hall still being stared at. Lily Potter though, was only looking at one of the people staring.

"James, why don't you go on to the living quarters, I'll meet you in a bit."

Harry looked at his mother confused, but James had seen where she was looking. "Lily, are you s-"

"I'll be fine, don't worry." She smiled reassuringly. James sighed reluctantly, and took Harry's hand and led the three away, Remus and Sirius a little wear, also understanding what was going on. Lily walked outside, fully aware of the presence following her. She led the follower down by the lake and turned around.

"Severus."

AN: So sorry about the update, I got a new job, and I'm looking into colleges too right now, and this chapter was a little hard to write.
