A/N: Sorry this took so long. Thank you everyone who reviewed!

troygennings: Thank you SO much for the review. I'm actually considering writing most if not all of the next chapter from PJ's perspective, thanks for the great idea. I really appreciate you making the effort to review, a lot of people just don't care. THANKS!

Liedral: Thanks for the review. I haven't yet decided whether or not Ginny and Harry will meet up in this world but there are definitely a few others he's going to run into. I'll give you kind of a big hint… PJ's namesake (and I don't mean Prongs) ::Evil grins::

Ice: Thanks for reviewing. I see we have a Padfoot fan! He's not really that involved yet but he'll have a bigger part coming up.

MegumiFuu: Thanks for the review. PJ's a very real character and I think that's why he's so lovable when you get to know him. You'll see his apprehension toward Lily in this chapter though. I briefly mention why that is, but it's actually much more complicated and will be delved into later. Whew, that was long winded. Thanks!

Nova: Thanks for reviewing. Yes, Lily teaches charms. I'm going to get into that a little later. Though I hadn't thought of it before I will definitely add in a character that continually mixes up their Potter homeworks. If you'd like I'll let you name him/her. Let me know.

And for everyone else who reviewed for chapter two: wquad, makulit, Otaku freak, rhiain, Jenn (nice name), Amy Potter, Aila, Lina of Ice, Lilas, White Rider, Amaneq, Cataclysmic (please don't hurt me!), and Kate… THANK YOU!!! You guys really made my day!

Chapter Four: Godric and Lily

Harry walked slowly back to the Defense Against the Darks Arts classroom after his meeting with Albus. He wasn't sure about his feeling toward his father yet, and knowing that he was going to see him in just a few moments made him nervous. PJ sure is acting strangely, taking so quickly to someone, especially his grandfather. Harry thought briefly that maybe it had something to do with how alike they looked, but shook his head. Then he remembered what James had said to PJ when they were by the lake, "I would no sooner hurt my son than he would you." After that PJ had acted very differently around him, that must have been it. He guessed James had earned PJ's trust after that.

He reached the door to the DADA classroom and took a deep breath.

************************************************************************

PJ had fallen asleep in James Potter's arms nearly a half an hour ago. Now that the child was out cold his class started to ask questions about him.

"Who is he professor?" a Ravenclaw female with brown hair and eyes asked.

"He's my grandson." James replied without thinking, then remembered to correct himself, "Sort of grandson anyway. Don't look at me like that, I'm not crazy, everything will be explained at lunch."

His class looked skeptical but a sudden and quick knock sounded on the door before the person behind it came through, not waiting for an answer.

"James, I've just seen Remus and he's having a little trouble with…" Lily Potter's sentence remained unfinished as she looked at the small bundle in her husbands arms. She stared in disbelief at it a moment before looking at James. "How on Earth…"

James smiled in response. "Harry was here earlier, on his way to speak to the Headmaster and needed someone to watch PJ. He was actually looking for either Sirius or Remus as he thought PJ would be more comfortable in their company but the little thing had different ideas. He hasn't been here more that 45 minutes and 30 of them were spent asleep so you needn't give me that look Lily."

And indeed, Lily Potter looked as though she had been scandalized. But she smiled softly at the small child in her husband's arms and took a step closer. She reached her hand out and gently touched the boy's cheek. He shifted away from her touch and she frowned. He burrowed his face further into James, but slept on.

A soft knock interrupted her and James turned to the door. "Come in."

To his surprise it was Harry who entered, looking a little bewildered at seeing them both there.

"Ah Harry, finished already." James said cheerfully to his grown up son.

Harry smiled somewhat nervously. "Yes, I thought I'd better relieve you of your load before he wakes up. I wouldn't want him to destroy your room or anything."

Both James and Lily lifted eyebrows at that and Harry chuckled under his breath at their expressions.

Suddenly Harry's body became rigid and PJ sat up straight in James' arms. The entire class seemed to gasp in surprise with James and Lily along with them.

"What is it?" Lily asked Harry whose eyes shot around the room, though his body remained still.

"Don't you hear it." PJ whispered as he jumped out of his grandfather's arms and onto the floor.

"Hear what?" one of the Gryffindors asked. James agreed with the question and looked at the boy for answers.

But it was Harry who spoke, "Something large had just entered the castle." Was all he said and Lily gasp as if remembering something.

"Yes, James what I came in to tell you. Remus told me that Hagrid's three headed dog has escaped and he needs help looking for it." Lily spoke in earnest to her husband.

"Fluffy?" Harry said with a smile.

James raised an eyebrow, "How do you know about Fluffy?"

Harry smiled mischievously but ignored the question, "If it's Fluffy the answer is simple, music."

"Not anymore." Lily interrupted, looking at Harry curiously. "Fluffy was in an accident a while back and has gone deaf."

Harry paled at this. "That could be a problem." Harry turned around and strode out the door without another word. James and Lily followed immediately after. PJ looked up at the class as if seeing what they were going to do. None of them moved, knowing better than to get in the professors' ways. PJ sighed and took off after his father and grandparents.

************************************************************************

As the three adults reached the main corridor Harry slowed. His parents followed his lead wordlessly. They could hear the click of Fluffy's nails against the stone floors. Harry stepped around the corner and came face to face with the huge three headed Staffordshire Terrier *. James' eyes widened as he reached for Harry's sleeve, ready to pull him back. Harry moved away from the both of them, into the center of the hallway. His eyes narrowed in concentration and his body began to tremble. His body began to transform, changing size and shape until his form loomed as large as the three headed dog he faced. The griffin roared and it's wings furrowed. His fur was shiny, ink black, and his wings were the same. Fluffy's heads barked back in response, but somewhat apprehensively. The beast didn't look so keen on facing the large griffin.

PJ came quickly from behind his grandparents and pushed his way in front of them so that he could see. He smiled as he took in his father's Animagus form. "Beat him up Godric!" he yelled.

Godric responded to his son's goading with a hearty roar. He crouched into a striking position and growled low in his throat. Across the hall from the three human Potter's stood Dumbledore, watching the unfolding battle fervently and Sirius and Remus stood behind Fluffy with Professor Sprout.

Godric lunged at the beast before him, his powerful jaw set in the neck of the head farthest to the left. He beat his powerful black wings and lifted his body up, pulling Fluffy's front paws off the ground and striking at the tender flesh of the dog's stomach with his rear claws. Fluffy responded with a short growl and answered Godric's attacks with one of his own. He twisted his two free heads toward Godric's body and bit down hard, one on Godric's neck and one on his shoulder blade. Godric's bite didn't falter at all and he gave a rough shake, tearing at the flesh of Fluffy's third head, the head whimpered in pain and the other's released Godric in a desperate attempt to flee. Godric, in tern, released and the animal took three great bounds out of the castle and into the sunlight outside. Godric beat his wings again and followed. He flew over Fluffy's head and refused to let the dog enter the forbidden forest. Several chains flew through the air from out of nowhere. One chain wrapped around each of Fluffy's three heads and with a great yank on those chains Hagrid brought the great beast to the ground.

"Now I done told you Fluffy not ter go escapin' on me or yous was gonna git hurt." The burly man soothed the now whining dog.

Godric bowed to Hagrid and set off in a trot back to the castle. He was bleeding from his neck and shoulder but showed no outward sign of pain. He sat on his haunches outside the main door and looked at his parents, standing in awe beside the headmaster.

James and Lily could do nothing but stare at the huge griffin before them. Its bright green eyes stared back at them, as if searching for some needed approval for its actions. It's fur and feathers were pitch black, and a streak of pure white fur in the shape of a lightening bolt on the animal's forehead was the only distinguishing mark, without it he could have hidden in any shadow and gone unseen. But that mark glowed with some great power.

"Well, Mr. Potter," Dumbledore began, "that's quite the impressive transformation."

Godric closed his great green orbs, and in a flash of black fur, turned back into his human form.

"It has its uses headmaster." Harry replied with playful mischief in his eyes. He noted with some degree of surprise, though he had expected it, that PJ had moved to stand between Sirius and Remus, and unconscious acknowledgment to his unease around his grandmother. Harry looked at his parents then. James smiled widely in obvious parental pride. Lily… Lily looked as though she were ready to cry. Why? Harry wondered.

"Well," Sirius mused allowed, "the next full moon sure will be interesting if Harry decides to join us."

Both Remus and James seemed to agree whole heatedly but Lily looked a little nervous at the thought.

"My daddy has more important things to do with his evenings than chasing rabbits Padfoot." PJ put in with a playful expression towards his father before turning to stick his tongue out at Sirius. He moved to the steps and Harry picked him up.

Sirius looked scandalized. James, Lily, Remus and Dumbledore all broke out into laughter and they all reentered the building together.

James, Sirius, and Remus had classes to return to before lunch. Dumbledore was covering transfiguration for the time being so that left Harry, PJ and Lily in the hallway.

Lily looked apprehensively at her son. Her uncertainty was plain and Harry shifted uncomfortably. PJ nuzzled his face into his father's robes, avoiding his grandmother's gaze.

"I think I'll head to the library." Harry said after a moment, startling Lily with his clear, calm voice. "I'd like to do a little research on the history of this world."

Lily nodded. She wanted desperately to spend time with her son but couldn't seem to show him that. Her eyes pleaded with the stone floor as she stared fixedly at it. She needed a way to break the ice, something.

"You're welcome to come with me, I was told you were quite the bookworm when you went to school, you could recommend something…" Harry stopped when PJ jumped out of his arms and started walking toward the Library without him. Harry sighed.

Lily watched him go as tears sprang into her eyes. "Why?"

Harry looked at her. "It's painful for him. He takes to Dad because he reminds him of me, you remind him of his Mom. It still hurts."

Lily made eye contact with her son and saw the pain there. It had really been horrible, losing his wife. Harry looked away. "I better catch up to him, for a five year old her can really move." Harry followed PJ down the hall then, at a somewhat jogging pace. It was then that Lily noticed Harry's wounds again. On his neck and shoulder dark crimson blood stained the black cloth. She had been too preoccupied to notice. He didn't even appear hurt. Just the same, she took off after him.

"Harry!" she called. He turned around, tears had streaked down his face. That's why he turned away so quickly. She was taken aback by his expression, he didn't hide, he didn't even try. "You're bleeding." Was all she could say. It was said so softly that she wasn't even sure he had heard it.

He reached his hand up and touched his neck. He felt the warm liquid there and nodded. "So I am." He took out his wand and whispered something very softly, Lily didn't hear what, and in that instant his wounds were healed and not even a scar remained. He nodded again and turned back in the direction he had been going and left his mother, awe struck, in the hallway.

* I have determined that Fluffy is a three headed American Staffordshire Terrier a breed that originated in the United States but has thence traveled around the world as a popular pit fighting dog. There are really four dog breeds that are defined under the category of "Pit Bull" and the American Staffordshire Terrier is one, the others, for you who are interested in such things, are the Staffordshire bull terrier, the bull terrier and the miniature bull terrier which really isn't very miniature. Basically a "Pit Bull" is any dog, no matter the breed, that is used in dogfights. I could train a Golden Retriever to be a "Pit Bull". I'm telling you this only because I hate it when people tell me they own a "Pit Bull" and I like to discourage the use of the derogatory title.

((A/N: Sorry this took so long. I've been very busy. I hope you all like it. I've been writing kind of slow lately, but I'll try to get the next one out soon. Poor Lily. Reviews are always welcome. Thanks a lot.))
