The Return of Lily and James
Chapter 3: "Obviously he hasn't met Snape…"
The next morning, Lily woke up in an unfamiliar place. Not heaven. Then she remembered.
She got out of bed and started jumping on her bed, singing at the top of her lungs. She then proceeded to throw her pillows at Ginny and Laralie, who's beds were closest to hers.
Laralie groaned and rolled over. Ginny placed a pillow over her head and yelled, "Emily! What the hell are you doing! Its too bloody early for you to be so perkey!" Needless to say, Ginny really wasn't a morning person.
Lily jumped on Lily's bed and was soon joined by Jenna, who just entered the room from taking a shower. They dragged Ginny up and started to dance around with her. Kat appeared at the end of Ginny's bed, looking very tired and confused.
"Emily, you need to calm down!" She exclaimed. Lily grabbed her and started dancing around the room with her.
"Isn't is great to be alive?" She asked. Kat looked truly scared now and scampered off to take a shower. Lily flung herself onto Laralie's bed. Laralie mumbled something incoherent, but Lily was sure it wasn't something very nice.
Lily managed to get semi-ready, and bounded down the stairs to breakfast, with Jenna at her heels. Jenna was an early riser, so she was already awake by the time the other girls got up.
When the got into the Great Hall, they were the only people in there except for the cheery Hufflepuffs and the proffessor's.
Jenna and Lily ate breakfast and chatted. While they were eating, they were joined first by James, who seemed to be very excited as well. Then they were joined by Harry, Ron, Dean, Seamus, and Neville. Then came Ginny, Hermione, and a nervous looking Kat, followed lastly by a disgruntled Laralie.
James sat next to Lily. His gaze wandered up to the teachers table, and he saw Remus Lupin. "Lily!" he gasped, low enough so that only she could hear, "Remus is here!" she looked a bit confused, but then enlightenment struck her.
"Oh my! We have to see him before class, of he will get a large shock!" James agreed and they started to get up when Professor McGonagall handed out the timetables. "I've got Defense Against the Dark Arts first!" gasped Lily as she scanned her scheduale.
They looked up at the table and saw that Remus had already left the Great Hall. They said goodbye to their friends and raced out of the Hall. They ran to the DADA classroom. When they burst in, Remus looked up from whatever he was doing and the color drained from his face.
"Oh dear God," he gasped as the shock registered on his face.
Lily and James approached him cautiously. "Remus, do you know who we are?"
He looked at them as though they were mad. Then he recovered himseft, and managed a small smile. "I don't belive we have met, and I would prefer if you called me Professor Lupin."
"We most certainly have met!" exclaimed James. "You know perfectly well who we are!"
What little color that had returned to Remus' face left again. "Ja-James?" he stuttered.
James grinned and hugged him tightley. Remus looked shocked. "But-but that's not possible! Your dead!" he exclaimed.
Lily shook her head and said, "We have been sent from Heaven to help Harry."
Remus looked very skeptical, but all unsure thoughts he had vanished when James turned into a magnificent silver stag. He began to cry and hugged James. He then finally noticed Lily and gave her a bone-crushing hug. "Its you! Its really you!"
James and Lily beamed at him. "We are pretending to be students. I'm John Bennet and she is my younger sister, Emily." Explained James.
Remus had a smile on his face that seemed to be just too big. "Does Padfoot know?" He asked excitedly.
James shook his head. "Then I will owl him tonight and tell him to come as soon as possible. He has just been proven innocent!" Remus exclaimed.
James got a dark look on his face and Lily scowled. "I know, God let us watch the trial." She said.
"He's fine guys…really he is…he just bought a house!" said Remus.
Lily started crying again. "Oh, but its not fair! He is so good! It should have been Wormtail in Azkaban all those years!"
James agreed and hugged her close. "I know," began Remus, looking at his watch, "but, oh dear! Class is going to start in a few minutes!" he exclaimed. "I belive I have you first, Emily?"
Lily wiped her tears away and grinned. "Yeah you do!"
James looked sober. "I've got Potions first with the Slytherin's." he said morosely.
Lily smiled and looked at Remus. "You know who teaches that class don't you?"
James looked confused. "Who?" He asked.
Lily and Remus burst out laughing. In between giggles, Lily managed to get out- "Snape! Severus Snape!"
James got a very faraway look in his eyes. Then he said, "Really…how interesting…"
Remus exchanged a knowing glance that said, "He's planning something!"
James came back to Earth and said, "Well, guys, I've gotta go find Harry! Wouldn't want to be late for Potions, now would I?" He grinned mischeviously and raced off.
Lily and Remus began laughing again, and Remus said, "I'm very scared for Malfoy and Snape!"
"Oh, Malfoy's that Slytherin that Harry hates, right?"
Remus nodded. Then they heard the pounding of feet in the corridor. Lily smiled at Remus and sat down.
Ginny walked in and saw Lily. "What happened? You and John left in such a hurry this morning! And how in the world did you find your way here?" she asked, while looking curiously at Lily.
"Oh, uhm, John and I had to go get something in our rooms! And um we saw Professor Lupin and he told us where to go!" She said hurridly.
Ginny was still suspicious, but she said no more and sat down in the seat behind Lily.
James found Harry walking down to the dungeons with Hermione and Ron.
They looked at him curiously. "Where have you been?" asked Harry.
"Snape," was James' only reply.
"Yeah…you've been with Snape?" Asked Ron, plainly confused.
"No! Snape teaches Potions!" Exclaimed James with a huge grin on his face.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at him as though he had sprouted another head. "Obviously, he hasn't met Snape," said Harry darkly.
"Oh, no, quite the opposite!" Said James merrily. "But, sadly, he won't know who I am…" he trailed off.
Harry stared at him. "That's a good thing! I don't know how you know him, but let me inform you: he hates me with a passion."
"Yeah, he's head of Slytherin House and hates all Gryffindors, especially Harry." Added Ron.
"Why does he hate you?" asked James incredulously.
Sadness flickered in Harry's green eyes. "He hates me because he hated my father."
James was outraged. "Why that f***** bastard!"
Harry looked surprised. "Well, if it makes you feel any better, Malfoy hates me more."
James opened his mouth to say something, but Snape walked into the room, his customary sneer on his mouth.
He began to call roll, and when he got to Bennet, he looked up to sneer at the new Gryffindor. But what he saw made his stomach drop and the color drain from his already pale face. "You!" he managed to gasp out.
James was surprised that Snape recognized him. I guess Aurora forgot him! He thought. He smirked at Snape and his worst fears were confirmed.
"You!" he croaked, "outside, NOW!" James grinned and followed him out, practically skipping with glee.
Harry watched him follow Snape, and wondered if James new he was about to die. Harry looked at Ron and Hermione. Ron's face was in his hands, and Hermione looked as though she would faint. Harry gulped, and then-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!" Then Harry watched in amazment as Snape stormed in, looking madder than ever, and James followed him with a massive smirk on his face.
"What was that about?" asked Hermione anxioulsy.
"Oh, lets just say he remembered me!" whispered James as he sat down.
Snape sat down looking murderous. He opened his plan book, then an idea hit him, and he slammed the book shut. "Today class, we will be making Truth Potions." Gasps rang out around the classroom. He gave James a smirk, who paled and looked panicked.
Hermione stood up. "But, sir, aren't Truth Potions illegal?" She asked timidly.
Snape was livid. "Don't you dare tell me how to run my class, Granger. Now sit down you insolent little brat, and 50 points from Gryffindor because of your mouth!"
Hermione sat down, and muttered under her breath, "And 50 points to Gryffindor because you're a bastard!" Harry and Ron looked at each other in wonder. The last time they had seen Hermione this angry, she had slapped Malfoy! And neither of them could remember when Hermione had given points to Gryffindor without an exceptional reason, even though Harry and Ron both thought that Snape being a bastard was a good enough reason.
When class was over, Snape held James back. "You guys go ahead! I'll catch up!" said James as he grinned and approached Snape's desk.
They nodded and left, but do you think that they heeded his request? If you did, you should probebly read the books again! They hid outside the door and listened.
"-don't even know why or how you're here, but frankly, I don't care or want to know. All I know is that it is you, and if you dare mess up my class or me, I might accidently slip some Truth Potion into your drink! And we wouldn't want Potter to know who you really are, now would we? Nasty shock, I'd say…So I'd watch my back if I were you…"
"Snape," said James, shacking with anger, "you have no right to be mean to Harry, just because of our past!"
"Detention, Bennet," he said Bennet sarcastically, his voice deadly quiet, "Now get OUT of my classroom!"
Harry, Ron, and Hermione ran as fast as they could. They ducked into and empty classroom and shut the door.
"Harry," said Hermione, panting, "what was that about?"
Harry shook his head, and said with a determined look on his face, "I don't know, Hermione, but we are going to find out!"
