Chapter Three:
Harry looked up at Lupin confused. Lupin could tell that the whole statement confused him. He knew that his father was a troublemaker and that him and Remus had been friends when they were younger. They were known for their problem solving, except the fact that they were the ones that usually made the problem.
"Would you like a sandwich?" Mrs. Weasley asked turning his attention away from Harry.
"Oh that would be wonderful Molly." Lupin said
Mrs. Weasley walked over to him with a plate that held the sandwich. He thanked her with a nod and started to eat.

Sirius looked up at Lupin and grinned. "Well mate it seems that were to be in the same house so we are meant to be friends."
"Are you sure that you didn't rig the whole thing?" asked Lupin suspiciously.
"Hey Sirius who's your friend?"
Lupin turned to see the boy that he had spotted before. His messy hair and his glasses were all turned towards Remus.
"This is Remus Lupin, he's a friend that I met before the sorting."
"Hello Remus, I'm James Potter."
"Hello." Lupin replied sitting down beside Sirius.
"Hello Remus."
The three turned and looked up at another boy. Lupin recognized the boy. His name was Peter and he was the boy that sat with him on the train to school. He was standing with the other girl that had bright green eyes and red hair.
"Hello. Um.James, Sirius this is Peter."
Sirius saluted him and James seemed to be in other places. Peter waved back at Sirius then turned to the girl.
"This is Lily Evans. She's in Griffindor as well." Peter explained.
Lupin looked up at Lily, she seemed to be attached to Peter. He was quite handsome. Well at the time anyway. He did change throughout the years, quite a few years.
"Hello Lily," James said happily. "There's a seat here if you like."
"Oh thank you very much James."
"Well there's lots of seats, you could pretty much sit anywhere you wish." Sirius said.
Lily smiled at him and took a seat on the other side of Sirius. She was talking across the table to Peter till the food was presented. That was the first day Lupin realized that James had a crush on her.

"Do you feel any better Remus?" asked Arthur
"Much better that you." He said trying to stand up again.
Lupin looked over at Harry who was deep in thought. He was just like him, always trying to come up with ideas that would help the situation. It was almost too obvious. If only the others knew the truth.
"Harry,"
The boy looked up at Lupin adjusting his glasses.
"Do you really need those glasses?"
Harry stared blankly at him. "I always have." He said
"I was just wondering,"
"Why?" asked Harry now intent to get an answer out of Lupin.
"Well, it's just that your father never needed glasses." Remus replied standing up with the help of Tonks.
Everyone looked shocked at Lupin. Arthur and Moody more then the others did.
"Remus, James had glasses because he needed them. I think you hit you head a little to hard."
Tonks started to help Lupin back up the stairs to the room he had been in before.
"I wasn't talking about James, Alastor." He said disappearing from there view.
"Remus, Is James Harry's really father?" Asked Tonks
Lupin didn't reply. There wasn't much he could tell her. It would be better for her not to find out before everyone else did, especially Harry. After all it was his past that Lupin would be ruining with the truth.
Tonks took the silence as a sign of not to say anything else at that very moment. She just took him straight to the room and helped him to sit on the bed. She turned back to the door when he stopped her.
"Tonks could you please pass me my bag. Lupin asked pointing to the bag that lay in one of the far corners of the room.
"Sure," Tonks walked over to the corner and passed him the bag "Is there anything else you would like before I go back down stairs?"
"No thanks." Lupin smiled at her as she left. Then he opened the bag and pulled out a tattered notebook.
"Lets see," he opened the book and looked in at all the horrible drawings that surrounded the sides of each individual paper. "I remember this."
James, Sirius, Peter and he had always written messages to each other in this book during class if possible. He continued to dig around in the bag till something fell out of the bag. He looked down to see that what had fallen out of the bag were old photo's.
