"Wake up!" His father yelled, hitting him with a pillow.
"Okay, okay." He said lazily, putting his glasses on. He wondered how he fell asleep, maybe while watching that figure on the grounds, he wondered who it was.
"Were getting late for class!" Sirius screamed at him.
"Since when have you cared about class?" Harry asked.
"I don't, but Rattiera the rat, loves to dock points for no reason" Sirius said.
"And that takes away our popularity." James chimed in
"So it's your popularity you are worried about, not losing points." Harry said poitedly.
"Yep, those guys only care about popularity." Remus answered. They chatted about random things for about twenty minutes, with James and Sirius teasing each other nonstop. Apparently Sirius liked to flirt with random girls, but would never date them, while James apperantly had been trying to get Lily to date him for two and a half years with no avail.
"Hi." Said Peter nervously. He had seemed to notice that Harry had given him occasional death seriously wanted to lunge at his throat, the ungrateful traitor who is responsible for the murders of his parents, 11 Muggles, and Cedric Diggory.
Harry controlled his anger and said "Hello." Peter and Harry had a little chat before Harry left to go to the bathroom. As he looked in the mirror, he realized what James and Sirius had done. His hair was pink! He wondered if Finite Incantatem would work, as Snape had used in his second year of him and Malfoy.
As he tried it the pink color faded out, but was still there on the edges, giving him a slightly hip look. The marauders left while Harry took another trip to the bathroom. Little did he know that they were discussing about him.
"He's weird don't you think, like he has that sad look in his eyes whenever he looks at me or Prongs, especially me?" Sirius asked Remus. Remus was about to say something when James interjected
"I would be too, seeing how bad your face looks." Sirius slapped James on the back while both of them were laughing.
"I'm not a mirror, if you want to insult yourself prongs use a real mirror." Sirius responded.
"Also your Lily was talking civilly with Prong jr yesterday, something you haven't managed yet." Sirius told James, a small smirk on his face.
"Really?" James couldn't help but feel a bit of jealousy even though it was his son.
'It's just my son, I shouldnt have any harsh feelings, for all we know she could be his mother' he thought, but to no avail.
"Somethings weird about him, like do you see that look of dislike he always gives me." Peter said.
"It's fine wormtail, maybe you guys just had an incident in the future, like you embarrassed him or something." Remus said placatingly.
"Ever the forgiving one Remus." Sirius said playfully. They then opened the door and sat down in their seats.
"Wait where is Harry?" James asked.
"I dunno." Remus said and shrugged. Harry ran down the hallway, as fast as he could, after getting supplies from Dumbledore and a teacher named Slughorn. he quickly opened the door and took the only open seat, between Lily and Severus. They both glared at him, although for different reason.
"What?" He asked, wondering why they were glaring.
"You are ten minutes late Future Potter, twenty points from Gryffindor." The teacher answered. This explained why Lily was angry, but why Snape.
"Sorry Professor Rattiera." He apologized. She ignored him.
"So as we are nearing OWLS, your work will become harder and harder, and for DADA, one of your hardest classes.' Harry inwardly smirked at this comment.' you will need to practice more and more, and so for today, I have decided to make you do duels as a small competition, knockout style. Pairings will be, Potter vs Potter, Snape vs Black, Evans vs Pettigrew, Mulciber vs Avery, Tirantuls vs Lupin, Festi vs Mcdonalds, and Sidophenuls vs Evr. Do you understand? Duels will happen one at a time. No unforgivables. Remember duels in practice are a lot harder than in theory". I do not expect any of you to show actual skill, inexpirienced as you lot are. Once again Harry smirked. He had some expirience, even if it only was against Lord Voldemort, Bellatrix Lestrange, Lucius Malfoy, and Antonin Dolohov, quite terrible duelists as they are.
"Yes Maam." The class answered at once.
"First, Potter vs Potter."
The duel started out well, both sides doing good, but James tripped while dodging an impediment jinx, and Harry shouted "Stupefy!, Petrificus Totalus!, Locomoter Mortis!, Tarantellegra!, Expelliarmus!" All spells hit James except for Locomotor Mortis, which he deflected. He ended up with a broken wrist and was glaring at Harry.
"Sorry." Harry mumbled. James didn't answer. Of the next duels Snape won, which was a hit to Sirius's ego and, Lily won, Mulciber won, athough with a curse that sounded awfully like 'Imperio', Lupin won, Mcdonalds won, and the last duel was a tie in which both fighters broke their wands.
"Next Future Potter vs Evans, Mulciber vs Snape, and Lupin vs Macdonalds." Lily attacked fiercely with charms, using them to send objects at him, and once, even summoned a chair behind him to hit him in the back, which was painful. and nearly caused him to lose his wand.
"Impedimenta!" Harry pointed his wand at Lily. The spell caught her in the tummy. She was frozen for a second near the door and Harry took the opportunity to say "Colloportus!" which slammed the door on her and knocked the wand out of her hand and gave her multiple bruises and cuts.
"Good job." Rattiera said grudgingly.
"That was amazing!" Sirius said, his eyes wide in shock.
"Nice job." Said Lily kindly. Once again James was slightly jealous
"You did well too, like all those charms." Harry said shyly
"Well you did way better, seriously who would have thought of shutting the door on someone." Lily said. Harry then sat down to watch Snape versus Mulciber.
"Stupefy!" Snape shouted, and Mulciber went down with a thud.
"Ten points to Slytherin." The professor said.
"How is that fair?" James asked indignantly.
"Ten points from Gryffindor for questioning me!" She snarled.
"So it's illegal to question too now?" Harry asked.
"Another ten points away." She snarled. Lots of Gryffindors said random insults at her, but since the Slytherin's were praising her she couldn't tell out who was saying what so she didn't dock any points. Remus accidentally tripped and tied with Macdonalds.
"The finals, Severus Snape versus Harry Potter." She said dramatically. We will see how good Potter really is. Snape started out by firing random curses, all of which were deflected by a shield charm. Harry laughed.
"Come on! You have to do better than that"
"Expelliarmus!, Stupefy!, Impedimenta!" Harry shouted. Snape blocked all three with a shield charm and brandished his wand like a sword used a spell that sounded like 'Sectumsempra' that gave Harry a deep and painful wound on his cheek and a few on his chest that went into his bones. The spell seemed like the one Snape used in the pensieve. In his anger Harry roared "Reducto!" Which hit Snape on the chest, blasting him backwards and making a deep whole on his chest, into the muscles and bones. Snape was howling in pain before the teacher healed the wounds, not bothering to heal Harry's. "Harry won, although barely." She announced sadly. Ten Gryffindors tackled Harry in a very, very, very large group hug, making him howl in pain.
