(A/N: Here's the much anticipated chapter 13. Thank you for telling me how impatient you were, it's definitely encouraging me to get this done faster. At the end I have a bit of a surprise for you.

Disclaimer: Do not own Harry Potter)

"So, are you going to tell us?"

"Tell who what?"

"Us."

"Okay, what do you want us to tell you?"

"You know very well what we want you to tell us."

"Oh, do I know what you think I know you want us to tell you?"

"For Pete's sake!" Sirius finally yelled at the man who was now making it very obvious he knew what they wanted to know, "Are we Aurors?"

The Man and Ron, who were sitting on Ron's desk, shared looks. Ron answered without any emotion, "Sorry can't tell you."

"What do you mean, 'can't tell you'?" Lily shouted.

"Harry told us not to." The Man said just as dryly as Ron had.

"Why?" It was James turn.

"He wants to tell you himself, tomorrow." The Man finished. This was met with pure joy from the Marauders, who were just glad Harry had no reason to keep hidden anymore, "So, if things go well we'll see you here again on the first."

"Can we ask one question before leaving?" Dora asked.

"Technically you just did, but you can ask another." The Man said genially.

"What is your name?" But of coarse, the curse remained. Another of the top six Aurors came in and did some quick shadowhand, The Man followed him quickly. After he left Dora asked, "Will we ever get to know his name?"

"Yes," Ron answered, but he looked pale now.

"What's wrong?" James asked.

"What the Auror was saying." Ron answered, "Peter has started attacking people. He killed eleven muggles in Surrey."

"Oh, great." Lily sighed.

"It gets worse, Harry's Aunt and cousin live in Surrey. Thankfully he set up a Fidelius charm with their house. It doesn't matter that the killed were muggles either, once dark lord start killing they don't stop on their own."

"Someone has to stop them." Sirius finished for him.

"Pretty much." Ron said and cleared his throat, "And on a completely different note, Merry Christmas!"

The next night all seven of the Marauders were rushing to get ready, Reggie had confused everybody by saying he wanted to 'see the show', which just confused everyone even more. When they were finally ready to go they started the process of flooing, Dora offered to take Teddy through and he looked insulted. When he was asked why his answer scared them.

"I've been flooing alone for two years already."

"Where have you been flooing?" Dora asked.

"Harry's, it's the easiest way to get there because of all the safety measures."

"Okay, just remember, we're going to the Three Broomsticks." Remus said. Teddy went first, then Dora, Remus, Lily and James. Which left Regulus and Sirius.

"You first." Sirius said.

"No, you go."

"Ladies first."

"Then go already!"

"You are so much more of a girl than I am."

"Am not!"

"Come on, everyone calls you Reggie, that's a girl's name."

"Is not!"

"Just go before I hex you!"

"Fine!"

"Merry Christmas!"

"You too!"

A minute later at the Three Broomstick all seven of them had arrived James couldn't resist asking, "What took you guys so long?"

The brothers looked at each other, Sirius answered, "We were being brotherly."

"Right." They began walking towards the castle, occasionally sharing stories about when they were in school. Eventually they did get to the Entrance Hall where quite a few people were waiting to figure out where the party was. Several people had checked to see if it was in the Great Hall, but it was empty. Finally they saw two red heads walking down the stairs.

"..still can't even tell us apart." One said.

"She never really has been able to." The other said.

"Well, you'd think she'd be able to seeing as you only have one ear."

"She just points out our hair is too long."

"Com on, our hairs shorter than Charlie's."

The twins seem to notice there were other people there and grinned, "Wonder why they're here."

"The party isn't here, is it George?"

"Didn't think so Fred."

"Well, come on all of you."

"Follow us." The crowd did so, talking with others in quiet voices. Until about the third floor when Neville joined them. Most had heard about his seventh year and wanted to ask about how he was doing since.

"I'm the Herbology teacher, and somehow got roped into being head of house for Hufflepuff. I'm personally fine with it, but Snape is less than tolerable, especially since his run in with Mrs. Norris. He never liked me, but he didn't like most of the Gryffindors." He said.

"Even Harry?" Said one of the women from the Order.

"Oh, he hated Harry. Fifth year he was being borderline cruel to him, we're all surprised he even passed."

"So where are we going?" Lily asked.

"It's awesome," One twin said.

"Headquarters for the D.A." Neville said as the other one was about to speak.

"A.K.A. the Room of Requirement." The other twin added.

"And it could look pretty crazy, I heard Luna is the one in charge of decorating." Neville said.

"Good news is no mistletoe, we asked Harry-"

"He said something about her believing in Nargles."

"What ever that bloody means." The twins told them.

"Here we are." Neville said when they reached a large door on the seventh floor, the twins opened the door in mock politeness, and more than over exaggerated it. The room past the door was exactly how the members of the D.A. remembered the practice room being, except there was a large Christmas tree on the back wall, several tables, a long buffet like table, and an over abundance of red Christmas decorations. And the place was lit entirely with candles that burn white or red, and a lot brighter than they should have.

A lot of the group dispersed to see family or friends they hadn't seen in a while, the twins left again to make sure there weren't still people in the Entrance hall. The Marauders weren't really sure where to go. Sirius was cracking up, "Look at all the red hair, even without those two."

Sure enough they saw a man and woman, Molly and Arther Weasley, two men in about their thirties that were red-headed with a white-blonde woman and a small blonde girl who was about Teddy's age. Another red head was talking to a couple people in the Ministry who looked bored to the verge of death. And of coarse there was Ron with his wife Hermione.

"What?" James jumped, they all looked to see a small black haired boy hugging his leg. James was a bit freaked out, but was hiding it fairly well, "Who might you be?"

The small boy looked surprised, as if expecting someone else to talk, he cocked his head to the side and said, "G'mpa James?"

"You're Jay?" James said after nodding.

"Jameson Orion Potter!" A woman yelled, Hermione was running forward and picked him up, "I thought I told you not to run off."

The boy looked seriously apologetic. Hermione rolled her eyes, "Ginny wasn't kidding when she said he was hard to look after. What did I expect, Harry's son after all."

"So that is our grandson." Lily said smiling.

Hermione shifted Jay to her left arm and shook Lily's hand, "Yes it is, and I'm Hermione Weasley. And before you ask, yes I am pregnant. I had to hit Fred earlier because of it."

The Marauders laughed quietly and then were completely distracted James who was putting names to faces with ease, giving both regular names and nicknames. He ended with Teddy, Hermione put him down so he and Teddy could play, Bill and Fleur's daughter Victoire soon came over too. James was finally up to asking a question, "So where is Harry?"

"Work," Ron had joined the group, "Don't worry, Ginny's gone to yell at him, that's why we're watching Jay."

"So are you going to tell us if we're Aurors?" Sirius asked.

"Nope."

It was then Ginny walked in the door with a group of other people and found them immediately. She saw the three children playing and said to the group of eight, "So I see they have met they're grandson. Was he any trouble while I was gone?"

"He found them." Hermione said pointing to the Marauders.

"So he sneaked off?"

"Yes."

"Figures, he's been going through a fit lately where he thinks he can take care of himself, you found him, so no harm done. Usually only Harry can find him." Ginny was no smiling broadly, "Get comfortable, Harry should be here in twenty minutes."

Half an hour later the Marauders were talking with the Longbottoms, having realized the small children were fine they had been just reminiscing. Neville had also walked up and told them he had lost track of his wand and asked to be told if they saw it. The Man came up to the group and smiled, "Congratulations, you're all Aurors now."

The smiles faded from their faces, Remus got himself in control first, "I thought you said Harry was going to tell us."

He kept a straight face, "Yes I did."

"And he hasn't told us yet." James said slowly.

"That point could be argued." He said in the same tone. As they thought really hard he ignored the people laughing behind them and counted down three… two… one…

"Are you saying that you're Harry." Lily said, the rest were waiting for his answer.

"I'd be lying if I said I wasn't." Harry replied.

"Prove it." Sirius said, Harry lifted his left hand where thin scars read I must not tell lies. Remus, Dora and Sirius looked shocked, James and Lily merely looked confused.

"Remember these, I got them in my fifth year in Detention with Professor Umbridge."

"Yeah we Remem-" Dora was cut off by a pitched scream and several people yelling from the other side of the room.

(A/N: I said this was going to be a long chapter, but then my friend Geniusgirl gave me this idea. See you in a few days, flames will get you nowhere. And yes, I am evil.)
