Sb-Thanks a lot!
Olivia Kirkland: Thanks. Things will get clearer in the long run.
WizardingWhovian: Yeah, well things are going to get worse for them.
16KnightOwls: You will see what the spat means here!
The next morning students were glad that magic was working again. It had been one hell of a time without magic. For muggleborns it was like being back home. But for purebloods and half-bloods and people like Umbridge, it was a curse.
She was sitting on her desk, thinking about the two new comers. They were a puzzle to her. First of all they were hanging out with Potter of all people! And then they praised her! At first she was going to take points away for their cheek, but the sincerity in their voice made her re-think her decision.
Umbridge slowly sipped her tea and watched as the first years filed her room. Well, she would deal with Grace and Moon some other time. Right now, she had some children to torture-no wait, to teach!
Harry watched as James played with his food. Scorpius was talking with Hermione on Merlin knew what and Ron was stuffing his mouth. But James, James made Harry worry.
"James?" Harry asked kindly. James looked up and smiled sadly.
"Are you all right?" Harry asked, concerned.
"Yeah." James said weakly. "It's just, I am missing home. Scorpius is the family guy, I am the adventurous one. But I never thought it would be me the one to miss my lovely place."
"Well, Hogwarts is your home." Harry said, smiling. He was sure his kid would love Hogwarts of all places.
James sat up and gestured towards the last table of the Hall. At first Harry didn't understand why James was indicating towards the Slytherins and then it hit him-James was a Slytherin! Scorpius was a Gryffindor. Even being in his home, James was a stranger to everything.
"I forgot." Harry said slowly. James smiled. "Well, everyone does. Especially with the wonderful face that I have got!"
Harry chuckled lightly and James couldn't help but grin. Harry hoped he had as wonderful life in future as he thought.
Hermione looked at the slow students early in the morning. Taking lead of the group, she said, "Finish your breakfast fast! We have Potions first!"
Groans erupted from Ron and Harry. James and Scorpius looked at them in surprise.
"What?" Scorpius asked.
"You are going to hate Snape!" Ron said.
James and Scorpius shared a puzzled look.
"But you said…" James began and shut his mouth. "You know what, forget it!"
"Let us be the judge of how Snape is." Scorpius said, a determined smile on his face.
Turned out, James and Scorpius did hate Snape.
"He is so, so…." James said, raising his hands into a fist.
"Infuriating? Partial? Disgusting? A snake?" Ron supplied.
"All of that!" Scorpius burst out. Harry was taken aback. He had never seen Scorpius lose his control before.
James scowled at the snake comment but kept quiet.
Scorpius turned to Harry with disbelief. "What changed your mind?"
"About what?" Harry asked, walking along with the rest of the group.
"Saying he was the bravest man you ever knew!" James burst out. "That vampire bravest man you ever knew? My foot!"
"Harry!" Ron looked at Harry accusingly. "What the hell is the matter with you?"
"I-I have no idea!" Harry declared.
"Something definitely happens in near future that makes Harry change his mind." Hermione supplied. "And we all know that Harry is a saint."
Murmurs of agreement followed as Harry protested. But Harry was enjoying every moment, which was sure.
Harry was having a grand time. The DA was doing pretty well. James and Scorpius came with a lot of knowledge of the future and taught everyone. Harry was mildly surprised with Scorpius. HE taught like Professor Lupin, making sure everyone understood. With two more helping hands, Harry was only happy.
As the students began to leave, Harry greeted everyone. He turned to see James and Scorpius staring at the photo of the original Order of the Phoenix. Slowly walking up to them, Harry stood beside them.
"It is really weird," Scorpius spoke up, "seeing the faces of people, so carefree, so innocent, them not knowing they won't last a few more days."
Harry smiled bitterly. "Well, when they joined the Order they signed up for this, didn't they?"
James and Scorpius exchanged a look and nodded. They didn't Harry to know Scorpius wasn't speaking about the Order.
Harry was walking to the Quidditch pitch when he bumped into Malfoy and his mood turned bad.
"Watch where you are going Potter!" snapped Malfoy. Harry scowled. "Even with four eyes you are blind."
"Shut up Malfoy!" Harry growled. Malfoy smirked-God, it made him so angry!
"I am in the Inquisitorial Squad if you have forgotten Potter." He said with a superior smirk. "I can give you detention right now."
Harry scowled. He wanted to punch that git in the face but decided against it. He had enough problems in his life.
With a dangerous, glare, harry stood up and left. He hated Malfoy so much!
Sometime in the future.
"What do you mean James is missing?" Draco demanded, standing up.
"He is…gone!" Teddy said, clearly troubled. "I don't know how or where, but he is gone. His friends say he was last spotted with Scorpius."
Harry couldn't handle himself. He was ready to fall over as Draco held him, he himself trying to take in what happened.
"SO these friends happen to mention where they had seen them last, Mr Lupin?" Professor McGonagall asked, keeping her cool.
"Outside the Charms classroom." Teddy said. "They were arguing."
"Over what?" Harry demanded.
Teddy shrugged. "They don't know. But this certainly wasn't the first time."
Draco led Harry to the chair and made him sit down. "Did Scorpius tell you anything?"
"No." Harry shook his head. "James?"
"He hasn't written to me in a while." Draco admitted. "But we know how he is."
Harry nodded numbly. McGonagall leaned and said, "We will find your sons. Please keep calm for a while."
Teddy came up to the couple as McGonagall stood up and went out of the office.
"You know," he said, looking at the two men, "they were worried about you two a lot."
"What do you mean?" Draco asked, confused, since Harry was not in a condition.
"I heard them talking how you two were fighting constantly and you were thinking of being separated." Teddy said, looking accusingly at them.
"Which couple doesn't fight?" Draco demanded. "We spent our early years hating each other."
"Yeah, but things between the two of you is clearly more than a normal fight." Teddy said.
Harry and Draco glanced at each other and looked away. Draco stood straight and looked at Teddy with a disapproving eyes. "Don't believe what you read in the Daily Prophet,"
Teddy snorted. "None of us read the Daily Prophet anymore Draco. Your behavior is enough."
Draco opened his mouth to argue when Harry raised a hand. He looked at Teddy and with a mournful expression said, "We are separating."
Teddy noticed Draco didn't comment. He turned to his godfather. "Did James and Scorpius know?"
"They had an idea." Harry breathed. Somehow, it didn't feel of any importance anymore. He wanted his son-no, sons- back.
Teddy was about to speak when the door of Headmistress opened.
"What happened to my grandson?" Sirius Black growled.
