As Harry looked at his father thoughtfully he heard the voice of Dumbledore yell out tree when everyone's wands bursted with a spell.

Harry yelled out sadly "Expelliarmus!" as James was thrown to the other side of the room and hit his head on the corner of the wall creating a small amount of blood trickle down his nose.

Harry sighed heavily as he came back over slowly his eyes full of cruel rage. Only one thought entered James's mind as he walked back the taste of blood still in his mouth Beaten by a Parselmouth, He will pay dearly. James finally walked up to Harry and punched him in the eye causing Harry to trip backwards in shock, he was being attacked by his own father! Harry sat there stunned for a moment but jumped back to reality as James tackled him and started punching him.

"James get off him!" Ron yelled as he tried to pull him of Harry only to be punched in the stomach by James sending him backward to the ground. Sirius kicked Ron hard as he went over to James sending him unconscious.

The teachers stood there trying to get through the students but couldn't get through. James didn't know what came over him as he pummelled his fist down on Harry. Harry just sat there as his mind just healed him blow after blow from James. Harry looked at the crowd and saw Ron lying down with a big ugly bruise appearing on his face. He also saw Snape and Malfoy sniggering at him while others egged James on while standing out behind them was Lily watching in disgust whether it was him of James Harry couldn't tell as he blacked out.

"Hh Hem!" Dumbledore said clearing his throat loudly as the students backed away letting the teachers run in.

"Please James go to my office Sirius go with him." Dumbledore said looking very disappointed at them. "The rest of you go to bed."

James and Sirius walked quickly up to Dumbledore's office passing Proney and Sims.

"Ah what are you two doing?" Sims asked his curiosity bubbling up he couldn't remember getting in trouble at the duelling club.

"Going to Dumbledore's office." James said massaging his knuckles, as they were very sore.

"Very well then." Proney said as they hurried off.

"I wonder what you've done this time?" Proney asked as they walked of down to the kitchens for a snack.

"Dunno."

"How long do you think Dumbledore will be?" Sirius asked as they walked into his office.

"I don't know possibly a couple of minutes or possibly an hour or so." James replied looking in one of the mirrors at his cut. "You know that was seriously weird Sirius. That Harry wasn't even fighting back." James said as he sat down next to Sirius.

"Yeah I mean you were hitting him pretty hard and he didn't budge. Hey what's that?" Sirius said walking over to one of Dumbledore's cupboards where he could see something shining.

"Well I don't know I can't even really see it." James said rolling his eyes at his friend's curiosity that usually pulled him into trouble.

"Well come and have a look" Sirius said motioning for James to come over. James got up and looked at the shining light it seemed to be in a bowl. As James looked into the bowl he realised he could see some figures in it.

"Hey Sirius look you can see things in it . . ." James began but his voice was lost as he and Sirius were pulled into the misty shining liquid.

"AAAAaagh!" They yelled as the swirling liquid of colours stopped leaving them in Dumbledore's office only there were five figures in there as well.

"Ah sorry Dumbledore about this." James said going up to Dumbledore only to find Dumbledore was ignoring him.

"I'm afraid this is the work of an Ellenorin." Dumbledore said to the four other figures who when James turned around were Ron, Harry but with green sparkling eyes like Lily's and two older wizards who looked strangely like Sirius and Remus only a hole lot older. James looked over to the younger Sirius who looked like he understood.

"Pensive." He said shortly as Dumbledore started talking again.

"Well you probably should stay here at Hogwarts but I don't think you should go and tell anyone about the future or try and change anything. Take that as a warning Sirius and Harry." The older wizard and Harry nodded but the older wizard had his pale blue eyes twinkling with mischief.

"Now are your parents in this time?" Dumbledore asked as Harry's eyes bursted with excitement as he nodded his head.

"Well what your last name?" Dumbledore asked calmly.

"Potter" Harry said as James's jaw dropped to be exaggerated 10 million kilometres downwards.

"And Weasley." Ron added.

"Well as you four remember you can't reveal your real identities." Said Dumbledore as James just fell to the ground his shock over taking him. Sirius hurried over to his friend when another Dumbledore appeared in front of him.

"Mmmh." Dumbledore mumbled going over to help James.

"Ah sorry sir but we caught sight of something and well you know Sirius's curiosity, so we were looking at this thing and then we fell into it by accident." James said quickly as Sirius came up to him and Dumbledore.

"Sir we're awfully sorry about this but we couldn't find the way out" Sirius said quickly.

"Very well then." Dumbledore said as they were sucked up into a swirl of colour.

"Now what happened back there may not be told to anyone." Dumbledore said sternly "As I don't wish to give any memory charms to youse." James and Sirius nodded as they sat in chair on the opposite side of Dumbledore's desk.

"Now what happened in the hall?" Dumbledore asked as the boys started explaining.

"Sir uh after I hit Harry he had no scars or bruises, why is that?" James asked quietly.

"James, Harry is a powerful wizard so he also has healing abilities." Dumbledore said, as the boys looked at him in shock, not one wizard had that ability these days not even the really powerful wizards.

"Now you will have detentions tomorrow, so that will be all. Remember don't tell anyone about the pensive." He added as the boys left the room.

What will happen now? Dumbledore thought to himself as he grabbed a columbine out of his pocket.

~

Sirius and James walked back to the common room in silence while their thoughts raced around in their minds. Who were the two older wizards? Who was Harry's mother? What would happen now?

As they walked inside the common room it went quiet making James blush with embarrassment as he walked up to the Dorm where he would find Remus. Inside the Dorm he found Remus and Lily talking. Harry and Ron were not there as they were spending the night in the hospital wing.

"Hey." James said sullenly.

"Hey" Remus replied as Lily just sat there in silence here eyes looking sternly up at him.

"Tell us what happened?" Remus asked breaking the tension as they explained what happened before in Dumbledore's office.

"And we can't tell anyone." Sirius said at the end of the explanation.

"Right then. So who was Harry's parents?" Lily asked.

"Jamie here is the father. Well so we think but nothing about his mother yet." Sirius said as James blushed, as he became suddenly interested in the floor.

"Hang on a sec though you were just punching the shit out of him back there! And he could be your son?" Remus said his voice rising as he was finding the situation stupid while Lily just sat there to stunned to speak.

"Ah yeah." James mumbled when another thought struck him. "But he's a Parselmouth, and I can assure you I'm not one. So how would that happen?" He asked thinking out loud as the others sat there in silence

"God knows Potter, we don't even know if he is a Parselmouth let alone if you are his father" Lily said optimistically looking still sternly up at him.

"Well let's try and find out about it then." Said Sirius impatiently sitting down on his bed.

"Hang on you know what happens when you go searching into someone's background Sirius don't you?" Lily asked looking at Remus intently as Sirius suddenly caught on.

"If he were something like that we would be able to know. People aren't always that good at hiding up things like that." Sirius said defensively. "We found out pretty easily that he was a Parselmouth so it shouldn't be that hard."

"Yeah but Sirius we don't even know about that. We were god damn it listening to Snape and Malfoy for crying out loud!" Lily said loudly rising up to go over to her bed.

"Yeah she has a point." Remus said as he too got ready for bed.

"Still the way he acted after it kind of suggest it and the snake?" said Sirius thoughtfully.

"Maybe but still he might not be as evil as you all say, good night." Lily said enjoying not being literally strapped into being Potters mock wife.

"Goodnight Lily." Sirius and Remus said while James said

"Goodnight Evans."

Back at the Hospital wing Harry was shuddering violently as he listened to Dumbledore talk about what had happened with the pensive.

"Now please be wearily of them if they ask questions. Goodnight." Dumbledore said as the Ron nodded while Harry still trembled. It was one of the worst things that had happened that night next to being punched in the eye rather hard from your father. As Dumbledore left Harry sat deep in thought as he looked at the door. What really would happen, would they ask questions or choose to ignore it? Would they be even more violent to him and Ron or kinder? No matter how much Harry thought about it he decided that what would come, would eventually come whetter he liked it or not. Harry looked to his right side where Ron had peacefully fell asleep without so much of a care in the world compared to Harry. Soedes was coiled up on his bedside table whetter he was sleeping or not Harry could tell. Eventually Harry after staring at the door for eternity it seemed fell asleep.

Harry and Ron woke up later the next day to the sound of students walking past talking of last night's events and the rumours surrounding the two boys.

"They never fail to stun me of how quickly gossip goes threw Hogwarts." Harry said as he looked at the door [A/n Isn't it amazing how interesting doors are?]

"Yeah but my stomach never fails me to be hungry first thing in the morning." Ron joked as his stomach grumbled hungrily giving Harry a hint that it was time to eat.

"Well then it wouldn't happen to be time for breakfast then would it?" Harry asked sarcastically as Ron threw a pillow at him and successfully hit him in the head.

"Well I'll take that as a yes then." Harry said throwing his own pillow at him.

"Ouch that hurt." Ron whined as he rubbed his head.

"Oopsies!"

"Oh shut up Harry." Ron said "Or I'll go to breakfast without you!"

"Okay, okay no need to get all grumpy." Harry said as they headed for the door.

"Do you think it is even breakfast?" Harry asked as they walked down the deserted corridor to the Great Hall.

"Ah I don't know what's the time?" Ron replied his stomach growling again.

"Well mine says . . ." Harry started as he looked down at his watch and then outside the window, "four o'clock!"

"We've missed breakfast!" Ron howled bringing his hands to his face.

"How about going to the kitchens?" Harry suggested.

"Yeah okay." Ron said sadly looking at the ground as they started of towards the kitchens. Ron tickled the pear as they climbed inside to see the elves running around making the rest of the dinner for the students in the great hall. A small pale elf came bouncing up to Harry and Ron.

"Excuse me but would you like something to eat?" She asked.

"Ah sure, thanks." Ron said as his stomach once again grumbled as the elf ran off.

"Ron how about you learn to control your stomach?" Harry joked as Ron stuck his tongue out.

"For your information I have tried that!"

"Well I'm guessing it didn't work." Harry said as Ron scowled at him behind the elf's back.

"Here youse go would you like anything else?" She asked politely handing them a tray of food.

"No thanks." Harry said as she turned around to go back to her chores.

While Harry and Ron were eating in a corner when they noticed four people come in laughing. Amazingly these four people happened to be James, Lily, Remus and Sirius.

"Wonder where they got to?" Sirius asked as the blonde house elf came up to them.

"Would you like something?" She asked.

"Yes please just some food please. And Sirius they probably are avoiding everyone now thanks to you two." Lily said as James and Sirius looked to ground in shame. No one not even their mothers could make them feel guilty but Lily she achieved it straight away.

Harry and Ron just sat there silently not moving an inch as Harry brought out the invisibility cloak and quietly flung it around them.

"Make for the door." Harry whispered as he stood up leaving the tray on the ground. Harry and Ron were half way across the room when the blonde elf discovered their tray.

"Did youse see the two boys that were here?" She asked loudly her voice sounding very disappointed while the four looked sternly around them.

"You know it's a pity we don't have the map here." James mumbled looking into the space between him and the door.

"Yeah oh well we'll have to make another one then." Sirius said sullenly it had taken a long time to get that map to be perfect. Harry and Ron took this time that they were thinking and ran out the door.

"Well they're gone now." Lily sighed as she went back to where she had been sitting. The three marauders had just started planning on talking to Harry and Ron and bombarding them with questions that night.

~

"God that was a close one." Ron panted as they reached the Hospital wing.

"Yeah." Harry coughed as he sat down his legs aching, Harry had never ran so fast in his life.

"Well I'm going to bed night." Ron said slowly walking over to his bed.

"Night." Harry said as he too slowly made his way back to bed unaware of four pairs of eyes looking in on them. The four eyes stayed there long through the night waiting for the sun to rise or the boys to wake. Their plan was to have a little chat and get some questions answered after dragging them to a secret room.

Harry stirred slightly as his senses turned on as he felt as he was being watched. Harry got up and grabbed a glass of water from he other room as the four eyes came in and sat on his bed and surrounded Ron. As Harry came back he dropped the glass from his mouth as it shattered on his foot.

"Ouch! Fuck it!" He yelped as he inspected the glass in his foot. The pain was increasing with every second as he pulled the shards of glass out delicately. The four eyes watched in amazement as the skin healed up leaving no scar to tell the story of the bloody shards of glass on the table.

Lily gasped out loud turning Harry's attention back to them and Ron who had woken up after Harry had swore.

"Hello everyone." Harry said calmly with a hint of bitterness in his voice as they all stared at him in disbelief and the glass shards.
