CHAPTER 2
Harry Potter. No, it was just a coincidence, he just had the same surname as James, yes that was it. After all Potter was a common enough name. But something in Remus nagged that that wasn't the case. So he turned to face the boy. Harry stared mournfully at the parchment that his essay and gave a heavy sigh. He looked into the fire and looked as if he was going to throw his work into it.
Remus just gawked at the boy, his messy jet-black hair, his narrow face, and the glasses. Harry was a spitting image of James. It was James son.
"Hey Moony, what's keeping you?" James asked him.
Remus just pointed to Harry and made the movements of a goldfish out of water. Sighing James went up the fireplace and looked at Harry. Remus just saw his friends eyes widen with complete shock. "Oh," he said very softly. "That's weird."
Sirius was getting irritated. "Look, what's up I really want to get some sleep here."
Remus allowed himself to smirk. "We've just found James' carbon copy."
That made Sirius interested. "Let me see, let me see!" he said barging past them both. "Whoa, identical, except…"
"Except what. I don't see anything."
"Except…oh come off it, his eyes!"
James boar his into Sirius. "What about them."
"Well they're different."
"We know that." Remus and James said at the same time.
Sirius smirked smugly. "I've only see that colour of eyes on ONE person in my whole life."
"And who might that be?" James asked, really not in the mood.
"Lily Evans, hello?"
Remus and James burst out laughing, Peter included. "But Padfoot," he squeaked, "That's just stupid, her and James are about as compatible as you and I dunno that seventh year, Malfoy, or at least another guy."
Sirius face fell, he looked on the verge of opening up, but then decided against it. "Maybe so." Sirius said. "But you never know, when two people instantly hate each other it probably means that they'll end up together."
"Oh," said James fully pissed off now, "so you and Snape are going to be announcing your engagement any day know?"
"Ha ha very funny."
James shook his head. "Look," he said, taking his role as leader, "we'll sort this out in the morning. Let's try and get some sleep, ok?" they all nodded, as they started towards the portrait hole, when James said something rather airily. "You know something?"
"What?" Remus yawned.
"I least I know I'm not going to die a virgin."
The next morning after having a rather uncomfortable night on a stone floor, (where Remus woke up to being hugged by a sleeping Sirius) they were at the Gryffindor table stealing food. Remus noticed that James's eyes wandered to where Harry was sitting in silence. "He's too quiet." James murmured.
Remus smiled softly. "You don't even know him yet and you're worried."
James smiled apologetically. "Sorry, can't help it."
"You are forgiven."
They spent the morning following Harry around and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. After causing uproar in Professor McGonagal's class, they were walking down the cold steps to the potions dungeon where they met up with an old friend one might say.
"Oh no!"
"Bloody hell!"
"Fuck it"
Peter just squeaked.
It was Sirius who made the first comment. "And I still see he hasn't mastered the use of a shower yet. Severus, you have to turn it anti- clockwise."
So the four marauders lingered at the back of the classroom watching the class. Snape was parading down the aisle and when he gave detention to a boy called Longbottom got detention for the mere fact that he was no good at potions, Remus snapped.
"That's it!" He yelled going forward, he pointed his wand just above his head and muttered something. A vibrant sign appeared above Snape's head, which proclaimed.
Desperately seeking shampoo.
No one dared to laugh so it remained there until the end of the lesson when dear old Severus noticed it in the mirror. Remus wished he had his camera.
Pranks like that followed for the rest of the day, when they were finally rested in the common room, James just gawked at Harry until he was the last one there.
"How?" James asked. "How do I tell him?"
"Remus almost spat out hi pumpkin juice. "What!"
Sirius laughed. "Prongs, just do something like drop a vase or something and really want to see him."
James nodded, and smashed an ugly brown vase in front of Harry, who jumped out of skin. Then he saw James, and almost screamed or maybe almost fainted Remus wasn't too sure of his reaction, but whatever it was, he was lost for words.
"Hi." Was all James could say.
After some shock and some getting used to, them and Harry's friends were in the abandoned classroom talking.
"We were following you all day." Peter told him.
"Yeah except when you had History of magic, that was just too boring." James told him.
"So we went to Muggle studies instead, saw a program." Sirius informed him
"Roughy the Vampire Slayer." James said
"Buffy." Remus corrected.
"And I think Remus here has a crush on her.
Ron laughed, "Well she is very pretty." The rest nodded in agreement except Sirius. "Didn't think she was anything special."
"Sirius?" James asked. "Are you gay?"
That caught Sirius by surprise. "WHAT!" he yelled, "What on earth makes you think I'm gay, does something about me scream gay?"
No one answered. "So every one here thinks I'm gay." Remus said nothing it was just too funny seeing Si this worked up. Sirius bowed his head, and smiled apologetically. "Is it that obvious?"
