Disclaimer: I don't own anything Harry Potter

The Potters, Sirius and Remus were all sitting by the fire talking. They had gotten some tea and hot chocolate (for Harry) along with some biscuits.

"So, Harry, when do we get to see you fly? Maybe we could go before dinner?" James asked.

"That would be great! We actually have a quidditch practice tonight after dinner, maybe you would like to come to that instead?" James was practically jumping out of his seat.

"Yes! That's brilliant! Then I can see how the team looks."

"Of course, no one can beat the team we had right Prongs?"

"To true."

"I think we might just surprise you. The twins are our beaters and Oliver says they are like a pair of human bludgers themselves, which the whole team agrees on, and the three chasers, Katie, Angelina, and Alicia, work together perfectly. And Woof blocks all the shots."

"Guess we will have to see for ourselves."

"I'll be right back." Harry said while putting down his hot chocolate. He stood up and made his way to the bathroom. The marauders all looked at Lily expectantly.

"What?"

"Don't act like you don't know, you talked to Snivilus did you not?" Sirius asked.

"Yes I did in fact."

"Oh come on love, what happened."

"I told him off for how he treated Harry, I told him that he was a child for hold grudges and carrying them out on a child, and that if he wanted my forgiveness he would have to prove he deserved it."

"I'm thinking of having my own little talk with him." James snarled.

"James." Lily warned.

"Come on! You can have a go at him but I can't?"

"Yes."

"Whyyyy?" James whined.

"Because I don't trust you not to hurt him or prank him." James was about to respond when Harry came out again.

"Later." He said.

~oOo~

"They are taking forever." Sirius whined.

"Sirius, honestly, they are probably talking about the new season and new tactics." Remus said.

"But they are still taking forever. I want to see Prongslet fly!"

"I have to agree with Padfoot here, I want to see my son fly!"

"Well no need to wait, here they come." Lily informed, pointing to the seven figures coming out of the Gryffindor changing rooms dressed in quidditch robes. The smallest one looked at the group in the bleachers, grinning as he waved. They all waved back.

The team went to the middle of the pitch and mounted their brooms. The captain, Oliver Wood, had the team separated into two teams. They would be playing a scrimmage. Every team using the same side of the pitch for scoring, until Harry caught the snitch. After Wood released the balls the team took to the skies.

"Wow, look at him go! He's a natural Prongs! Even better than you!"

"I normally wouldn't agree that some one is better than me at flying, but there isn't any argument there Padfoot. Harry is amazing. I'm so proud."

They watched the whole quidditch practice, laughing at Fred and George when they pulled some ridiculous stunt, and cheering for Harry every time he got the snitch. After practice, the team went into the changing rooms but Harry walked over to the group.

"Did you want to try out my broom dad? Sirius you can too if you want." Harry asked much to James's pleasure.

"Of course I do!" The rest of the time was spent on the quidditch pitch, whoever wasn't flying was talking to Lily and Remus. After a few hours they decided to go back up to the castle since Harry's curfew was coming up. They all spent the night talking and laughing, and wondering how the world was going to react to the morning paper.

-Time Skip-

The morning came by very quickly, the Potter's, Sirius and Remus, were all in the Great Hall very early in order to eat and get to Hogsmeade early. They all needed new clothes and things. The only ones in the Great Hall besides them were the teachers and a couple of students. James and Sirius were shooting glares at Severus, who acted like they weren't. Remus and Lily were talking to Harry about what they needed to get today. Hedwig flew in with a newspaper and landed in front of Harry, being careful of his food, and held her leg out.

"You knew we would be leaving early huh girl? You're so smart." Harry smiled and started to untie the paper.

"What a beautiful owl Harry." Lily said and he smiled.

"Thanks. Her name is Hedwig. Hagrid gave her to me for my birthday."

"How thoughtful of him."

"Yeah, she's my first friend, and the first present I ever got. I like talking to her, she just listens to me, and I believe that she understands what I'm saying. I talk to her about everything, and she helps me when I need it….. She's just… there, I've never had anyone really that would do that for me, I was mostly just ignored." He said as he finished untying the newspaper, turning to Lily, who was looking at him sadly. She pulled Harry into a hug, which Harry happily leaned into.

"Well, you have us to talk to now as well as Hedwig." Harry smiled at his mum and they unrolled the newspaper.

There was a picture of the Potters and Sirius on the front page with the headlines:

POTTERS ARE BACK! SIRIUS BLACK INNOCENT!

And below that was a smaller picture of Peter Pettigrew, with the headlines reading:

PETER PETTIGREW ALIVE AND A FORMER DEATH EATER!

"Well, we can only hope to avoid the press while in Hogsmeade. We should get going soon." Remus said after reading the paper, handing over to Lily. Harry was feeding the last bit of bacon and eggs to Hedwig and pushing the goblet of pumpkin juice towards her too.

"Come on then! I want to see how much Hogsmeade has changed since we died!" James jumped up, grabbing Harry from behind and running out of the Hall, Harry screaming laughter covering up James's own laughter.

"Oi! Wait for me! I'll save you pup!" Sirius shouted as he got up and transformed into a dog and raced after them. Lily and James looked at each other, rolled their eyes and got up. They waved to the teachers and followed them out of the Hall. They caught up with James, Harry and Sirius by the staircase. James and Harry were under attack by a big black dog with slobber coming out of his mouth, right up close to Harry and James's faces.

"Sirius Black! If you get dog drool in Harry's mouth, you'll have more then fleas to worry about!" Lily said loudly and sternly, causing the dog to move away from Harry and closer to James.

"What about me? I don't want dog drool in my mouth!" James said.

"You can deal with that problem on your own James, you're the one who ran out with Harry." Lily told him while helping Harry get off.

With that, James gave Sirius a smirk, and transformed into a stag, and escaping from his friend. He began to run up the stairs, Sirius barking and chasing after them.

"Are they always like that?" Harry asked.

"They are much better then when we were in Hogwarts." Remus replied. Lily made a noise of agreement.

"That couldn't be more true, but they grew up. They still act like children if you ask me."

"Lily, they act like that if you ask anyone." Remus informed her, earning a laugh from the two Potters.

"True. Now come on, they are probably at the one-eyed witch passage by now."

-Time Skip-

The Potters, Sirius and Remus were all in Honeydukes, climbing up from the storage cellar. They had just crawled through the one-eyed witch passage and were hoping to not be noticed right away in Honeydukes. Luckily Dumbledore had informed the shop owners earlier that they would be coming through, so they didn't go crazy. They just welcomed them back and gave them some free candy, especially Harry. Harry thanked them profusely as they all exited the sweetshop.

"Right, where to first?" Remus asked.

"How about Gladrags? Everyone could do with some new clothes. And Remus, we are treating you, so no arguments. Sirius, we're treating you too." Lily said matter-of-factly.

Remus looked ready to protest, but James clamped a hand on his shoulder.

"You heard her Moony. No arguments." Remus sighed but agreed.

"Come on then." Lily led the way into Gladrags. The woman at the counter looked up, her smile dropping into a look of shock.

"I-It's true then!? You really are back?" She said. Lily smiled politely.

"Yes, and we would really appreciate it if you wouldn't tell anyone we are here, we really need to do some shopping." Lily said kindly.

"Of course!"

"Thank you." And with that, she turned to the 4 boys behind her. "Right. I'm taking Harry, and you boys go find clothes for yourself. I hope you're capable of picking out sensible things and not goofing off."

"Flower, you know me, when have I ever goofed off?"

"I think the better question dear is when have you ever not goofed off?" She retorted. She took Harry by the hand and led him to the boy's section before James could even reply.

"I don't know what she's talking about." Sirius sniffed.

"I agree. We are very responsible." James replied.

"We were always very studious."

"Following every single rule."

"We were the best students."

"Most well-behaved too." Sirius was about to add on when a voice stopped him.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't Potter, Lupin and Black."
