"What are you guys doing out this late?" Lilly said looking at them "

"I am Dave Tyler I am knew" Dave said hoping that his mum would not notice the surname as Stephen Tyler was the lead singer from Aerosmith so he hoped they had not arrived on the scene in whatever year this was

"And I am Ginny .... Perry" Ginny said taking the name from the guitarist of the band after Dave whispered it in her ear.

"Well you guys should not be out this late" Lilly said looking at them

"Lil lighten up" James said "it is obvious they wanted time from the rest of the common room after all they are new" and Dave nodded a thanks to his dad

"What year are you guys?" Lilly asked

"7th" they both said

"Cool" Sirius said walking over to them "Sirius Black or Padfoot if you prefer"

"James Potter" James said walking over to them and shaking both of their hands "or Prongs" he whispered

"And I am Lilly Evans" she said smiling "now not that this hasn't been fun but it 3 in the morning and we need sleep before school tomorrow"

"Yes mum" James and Sirius said smirking

"That is not funny" Lilly said

"Yeah" Dave said agreeing "I bet you would make a great mum one day Lilly"

"Thank you" she said blushing

As Lilly pulled Ginny off to the girl's dormitory when they got to the common room James said

"Mate what is with telling my girlfriend she will be a good mum" and then he drew his wand "do you fancy her?"

"No" Dave said quickly "I just think she will make a good mum after all she didn't know us but she was already caring about us"

"Yeah" James said nodding "she does that a lot"

"Anyway" Dave said "I love Ginny"

"Oh" James and Sirius said at the same time "we thought you knew each other pretty well considering how you were talking in her ear"

"Yeah" Dave said "we have been together a couple of days"

"Cool" James said "well I have to go and register you guys in the office Tyler your surname wasn't it?"

"Yeah" Dave said

"Thanks" James said "make yourself at home"

"So your an animagus to?" Sirius asked

"How do you?" Dave began

"And enough of this Tyler crap" Sirius said "Dave Potter"

"How do you know all this?" Dave asked

"I am your godfather" Sirius said "and the fact this is your subconscious trying to help you see your parents rather than you being in the past"

"But Ginny is here" Dave said

"You must really love her" Sirius said nodding "I have only seen this once and it was Lilly and James doing it"

"Wow" Dave said "we are like my mum and dad?"

"Yep" Sirius said "you have the same look in your eyes that James did, so what is your animagus?"

"A bear" Dave said "yours?"

"A dog" Sirius said "as you well knew"

"Ya" Dave said "what does Lupin call his monthly visit?"

"Actually me and James call it his furry little problem" Sirius said "what form does Harry's patronus take?"

"A stag" Dave said

"Yours?" Sirius asked

"A dragon" Dave said "It's really you?" and Sirius nodded

"Will they remember this stuff?" Dave asked and Sirius shook his head

"Voldemort didn't kill my mum" Dave said

"I know" Sirius said "Dumbledore made us keep it a secret"

"Where is she?" Dave asked

"Hidden in the room of requirement" Sirius said

"What?" Dave said angrily "after all this time she is in the fucking school"

"Not all the time" Sirius said "but she will be now ... she was in Grimauld place"

"You sonofa" Dave began but he knew it was more Dumbledore's doing than Sirius's

"What do I say to get to her? at the door?" Dave asked

"I solemnly swear" Sirius began "I want to see my mum again"

And then Dave and Ginny woke up
