The trip to the Shopping Alley- Chapter 2
Harry jumped out of the fireplace and into the Leaky Cauldron. He brushed off the soot and then he turned around when he heard another crash! Harry looked at the sight before him and burst out laughing.
It was Sirius and Reamus, both covered in soot and entangled into each other, you couldn't see who was who.
"Moony you- "
"Padfoot I TOLD you I was- "
"Moogtyourhndoutmyfage!"
"I would if you would stop for 5- "
Harry decided then to step in.
"Girls girls, your both pretty, can I go shopping now?" he asked in a completely straight face, that was ruined a minute later when he started laughing again at the sight of his two godfathers.
"I'll get you for that later, prongslet" Sirius growled.
"I will be looking forward to it" Harry said grinning.

When Moony and Padfoot finally managed to untangle themselves, the three of them walked over to Flourish and Blotts, the two Marauders arguing all the way. They had decided this as the meeting place for the other Potters and them. As Harry walked inside, he could see Lily fawning over some of the books whilst Hayden and James were rolling their eyes at her enthusiasm and looking around bored. Harry's eyes narrowed as his brother and father finally saw them. It seemed like Hayden's 'special' training with Dumbledore wasn't as effective as they had bragged. He had heard them day and night, bragging to anyone in sight about how well Hayden was doing, already mastering all the First-year spells. Harry had just rolled his eyes and ignored them, not bothering to point out that since he had been training for four years longer than the rest of kids, he should've mastered these spells ages ago, like Harry. Harry had decided to not tell them about how much help he had gotten from the other teachers, or how he had started to learn how to t make the Wolfsbane potion for Reamus. Harry shrugged off these thoughts and forced a smile on his face as his 'family' came around to them.
"Finally!" said James, relieved. "We've been waiting for ages"
"What took you so long" added Lily.
Harry struggled to control his mirth, and the corners of his mouth twitched upwards.
"Don't even think about it' Sirius warned him, growling.
"What?" James asked, confused.
"Nothing," Reamus said, glaring at Harry also, who was now full out laughing.

After some threats from Sirius, Harry finally stopped laughing, but the grin was still in place. They brought their books, with Harry hanging around to grab some extra to start learning ahead. He'd learnt most of the Fourth-year curriculum, and now he was going to begin study for the owls. He sighed. With all his knowledge, it was going to be a very boring academic year. Sirius finally dragged Harry out, with James doing the same for Lily. They then went to Magical Menagerie, he wanted to buy his own owl. The store was full of animals of all kinds, but a white snowy owl caught his attention, soring towards him and Harry instinctively held out his hand for it to land.
"I want that one" Hayden announced, before Harry could get a word in.
Harry settled to glare at him then said not unkindly "I'm sorry Hayden but the owl had chosen me. Why don't you buy another one?"
"No. That one's pretty. I want it" he said firmly.
James spoke before Harry could get another word in.
"We will let Harry buy it, and Harry would share, won't you Harry?" James asked him, a hint of steel in his voice. Harry looked at him and returned the stare.
"I'm sure there are plenty of other owls around this place. If Hedwig likes me, then I will let her choose if she wants to be a shared owl." Harry said, grabbing Sirius' hand to stop him from lashing out.
"And besides, why should I share something I'm going to buy with my own money when Hayden doesn't share anything of his, even an old broom that you brought for him and me when we were six?" Harry asked in a perfectly polite tone, slight anger and steel behind it. The five of them were shocked to silence, and Harry took this as an opportunity to walk up to the counter and buy the owl and some treats.
Reamus was the first to recover.
"Is this true?" he asked Hayden.
Hayden shifted uncomfortably and muttered a 'yes'. Lily looked even more shocked at this. Probably thought Harry was lying Reamus though angrily. Reamus forced himself calm and was about to speak when Lily interrupted.
"I don't see why he is angry about the broom, he doesn't even fly. Why would Hayden give it to him?" she asked confusedly. Sirius broke out of his shock.
"Oh did he tell you that?" Sirius asked in a deadly calm voice.
Lily frowned. "Well… No. But he never flies. He's always up in his room whenever James and Hayden go flying,"
"Have you ever asked him to join?"
Lily rely was instinctive "Of course…" she trailed off, not being able to remember a time when she had asked Harry to join.
"Just what I thought." Sirius said, looking distastefully at them.
James sighed and rubbed his temple.
"Sirius, if this is about how much more time we spend with Hayden, you know you can't change our minds on this. We need to show attention to Hayden, Dumbledore said he's going to be in the thick of the war when it comes and might not make it alive. We just want make sure that we spend as much time with him as possible- "
"And forget about your other child? What is wrong with you? Your neglecting your own child – your SON- just because an old coot told you too? Harry is going to be in the war as well- what if he dies? How would you feel knowing you never paid any attention to him? Half the Wizarding World doesn't even know Hayden has a twin. You aren't the James I once knew. And I don't like this one."
"We love him just as much as Hayden Sirius…"
"I somehow really doubt that"
Just then Harry appeared and any reply James might've had stopped at his lips. Sirius turned around grabbed Harry by the shoulders and steered him towards the door.
"Reamus Harry and I are going to do some fun shopping for our godson. There is no need to wait for Harry, I want to take my godson home before he goes to Hogwarts. Good day" with that Sirius marched out of the shop with Harry Reamus following behind them.
Sirius started muttering "Those good- for- nothing idiots. I swear one of these days…"
Reamus caught up to them. "So how about we get a wand now?" he asked cheerfully.
Sirius' face instantly lit up. "Yes! Let's get to Ollivanders"
Harr stopped them. "No, I want to go to Gringotts first."
Sirius sighed and Reamus rolled his eyes. "OK, ok. Lead the way Mr Potter Lupin Black."
Author note_ Sorry for the late update. I've been busy. I know this chapter was short, but bear with me. Also, any thoughts on what house Harry should be in? Should he be friends with Malfoy or not, because Draco WILL be friends with him later. Anyway please review and tell me what you think. :)
