Harry, Tracey, James and Lilly were at the Leaky Caldron today the day before school started. It was their third year of Hogwarts. Harry and Tracey were in different rooms then each other and their parents.

Right now they were talking to their parents about something happening.

"You two need to be careful. Peter got out of Azkaban you know that." Lilly said.

They nodded. "We'll bring the invisibility cloak with us all year if it will make you feel better." Tracey said.

"We'll think about it tonight and let you know tomorrow. Now, we signed you Hogsmead village paper yesterday. Your mum didn't want to but I reminded her we gave you the map first year. I have an idea of how to get to town safely." James started.

"Using the map to get through the passageways?" Harry said.

"Yup." James said.

"OK, anything else?" Tracey asked.

"Me, your mum, Remus and Sirius have a school surprise for you this year. We know you're going to love it." James said.

"You're not giving us a hint are you?" Harry asked.

"No, it's a surprise that you're going to love." Lilly said.

"One little hint?" Tracey said.

"No." James said.

"Fine." they said together.

"Peter didn't get hit by many dementors because he's an animagus right?" Harry asked.

"Right. And quite honestly I'm surprised he didn't think of breaking out sooner. His animagus is a rat." James said.

"I know, it took him twelve years to think of it." Lilly said.

"Well he needs to worry about being stepped on. Rats are small." Tracey reminded them.

"True, true." James said.

"Dementors are going to be at Hogwarts this year. So be careful, we know you don't have great memories after the war but you can do it. You have each other and protect each other the best you can." Lilly said.

"That's what twins do. Protect each other, especially when it's the oldest one. So it's my job to protect you Trace." Harry said.

"I can take care of myself you know. You may be my big brother and more powerful than me but I can still take care of myself." she said with her arms crossed.

"I'm still keeping an eye on you."

James and Lilly started chuckling. "You two are inseparable still. You use your connection a lot and still give each other some of your strength." Lilly said.

"Well it's our job to protect each other. I think we do a good job. What do you think Trace?"

"Yup. Merlin knows we talk to each other a lot. And when one of us is sick we give some strength to the other one." she said smiling.

Their parents shook their heads and smiled.

"You two behave a lot better than Fred and George. We'll tell you that much." James said. "But use the Marauder in you once and a while would ya?"

They started laughing and nodded. Maybe this year to keep people busy from worrying about uncle Wormy." Tracey said.

Their parents looked at her in shock.

"Why would you call him uncle Wormy still?" Lilly asked.

"He may have turned his back on us but he'll always be our uncle Wormy. And besides, you guys didn't treat him that great in school. And we've been thinking about why he did this." Harry said.

"Why?" James asked. "I know we didn't treat him perfectly but we still treated him like a brother."

"Maybe to get back at you three? That's our idea. If we bump into him we'll ask him." Tracey said.

"I hope you don't but after two years of your school history I wouldn't be surprised if you did." Lilly said.

Then James looked at the clock.

"Alright, It's 9:30 and you start school tomorrow. Off to bed with you now. Or I'll hop you on my back and carry you!"

"No! Not that!" they said together laughing.

"Night mum, night dad." They said together.

"Night you two." Lilly said.

When they got out of their rooms they got ready for bed.

Sent each other their nightly goodnight.
