Chapter 4
Harry
sat down on the chair behind him, staring at his mother and father, Lily and
James Potter.
"Hey,
you look just like me!" James said with a grin. "Are we related or
something?"
"Err…
yeah… " said Harry slowly, still
staring at James and Lily. "I'm your… nephew."
"Wow,
that's nifty!" Said James, still grinning broadly. His face fell, and he
thought for a moment. His eyes narrowed, and he said suspiciously, " …Wait…
I didn't have any siblings."
"Err… your dad was married before he met your mom, and he had my dad. They
got divorced and he married your mom, and had you, so technically I'm your
half-nephew, and I came here trying to find my half family." Harry said quickly,
amazed he could come up with a story that fast… especially since he was a bad
liar most of the time.
"I
have a brother?" James said, his grin coming back. "And a nephew?
That's three new family members I have now! That's great! What is your name, by
the way?"
"Ron
Potter," He said. Ron was the first name that had come to his mind, as he
was staying with the Weasleys. "And also, you only have two. My dad died a
when I was a year old, and I've been living with my grandma ever since."
"Hang
on a minute," said Remus, speaking up for the first time since James or
Harry had come in. "You said three new family members… It's just Ron and
it was your brother. What are you talking about?"
"That's
what we wanted to tell you when we first came in!" Said James, giddy with
excitement. "Lily's pregnant! We're going to have a baby! That's why she
wanted to have lunch with me!"
Harry
could suddenly sense extreme excitement in the room. Sirius started jumping up
and down, yelling "Can I be Godfather? Can I be Godfather?" While
Remus got up, smiling, and hugged Lily and James, who were grinning like
Cheshire cats. Peter stayed in his seat, smiling at everyone. Harry, on the
other hand, looked slightly shocked.
Thinking that it was extremely weird that they were pregnant with him,
he half listened to what was going on.
"Congratulations!"
Peter said after about 2 minutes of sitting there. "When is it due?"
"April
27," said Lily happily. "Hey Sirius? If you stop jumping and yelling,
then yes, you can be Godfather."
Sirius,
who had been jumping up and down for the past two minutes stopped and ran over
to Lily. "Really? YAY!!! Didja hear that, Jamsie-poo? I'm going to be your
kids Godfather!"
"Then
God help them," James said, chuckling. "I just hope that you don't
mind, Remus and Pete."
"Fine
with me," Remus said, shrugging. "Sirius seemed most excited about
being Godfather in the first place."
"Well, ok." Said Peter, although he
looked quite putout. Harry was sitting next to him and he heard him mumble
quietly, "Of course Sirius gets to be Godfather. He gets everything he
wants."
Thinking that Peter was already going evil, Harry tuned himself back into the conversation, as Sirius started yelling at him.
"Hey,
Ron!" Sirius yelled. Harry came back to reality, and realized Sirius was
right in front of his face, waving his hand in front of it. "Earth to Ron!
Lovely Lady Lily was wanting to ask you something, and if you don't listen to
her, she gets ugly."
Lily
walked over to the room and slapped Sirius playfully on the arm. "See what
I mean?" he said.
"Ron,
what I was trying to ask you, is if you had anywhere to stay." Said Lily,
smiling. "Do you?"
"No,
I don't." Said Harry, trying to act normal, though a million thoughts were
going through his head. "The visit was kind of… unexpected, and I didn't
make plans about where to stay and what not."
"Well,
would you like to stay with James and I?" she said, still smiling.
"We have plenty of room, and I'm sure James wouldn't mind to get to know
you better."
"Yeah,
that would be great!" Harry said, grinning. "I'd like to get to know
you and James better too."
"Well,
since that's all settled, I think I'll go back home." Lily said, getting
up. James rushed over to help her, and she said, "James, I'm fine! Only
when I'm 8 months pregnant and can't even tie my shoes you can help me up,
ok?"
"Oookkk,"
said James, and kissed Lily. "I'll see you later then."
Lily
walked out of the door, walked back in, and said, "By the way, you have
about 10 very confused customers wanting to buy something, but there are no
salespeople to help them. You might want to end this little gathering and do
your job."
"Crap!"
Remus said, and ran out to help the customers. Everyone else did the same,
except for James. He stopped at the door, and said to Harry,
"You
can either hang out here, or try and catch Lily. She'll take you to our house,
but we could use an extra hand here."
"I
think I'll stay here," Harry said, smiling a little. "It'll probably
be more interesting."
"Ok."
James said simply. "Follow me, then. You can't do much back here."

Harry
went home with James later that night, exhausted. It had been a really busy
day, but even though he was tired, he still felt giddy that he was going to be
in the same house as his parents for at least a few nights, but he couldn't be
completely happy. Something was troubling him… he didn't know how he was
supposed to get back to his time without the time-turner, and even though being
back here with his parents was great, he didn't want to stay here forever.
Harry sighed, and tried to put the thought out of his head for now, at least.
"We're
going to take floo to my house," said James, and Harry realized he was
standing inside the Leaky Cauldron, in front of a fireplace. "You know how
to use it, right?"
"Yeah,"
said Harry, sighing to himself. He hated Floo Powder.
"Good,"
said James. "We live in Godrics Hollow."
Harry
said nothing, as he was overcome with giddiness for the millionth time that
day. He was going home for once.

Sorry that took a few more days then I thought. Me and my family went out of
town again (surprise surprise), and we're going out AGAIN next week, when my
sister gets married, but after that I should have a little more time to write,
until school starts ::sighs::
