Remus entered the boys dorm. He had been to tired to continue his potion
class, so he had asked Fungus if he could leave. Fungus hadn't been to
happy with that, but let Remus go anyway, else he would lose his job.
Remus looked at Harry's bed. The boy was sleeping peacefully, though his face was tearstained. He was laying in a strange position. Fawkes was staring at Remus. He couldn't let him laying like that, could he?
So Remus walked over to Harry's bed and lay Harry in a more comfortable position, head on the pillow instead of his feet, before getting into his own bed, thoughts clouding his mind.
'Harry must have been through terrible things if he wouldn't mind getting killed. I hope he'll tell us, someday, before he leaves of course.'
Even with that kind of thoughts spinning in his mind, Remus managed to fall asleep. The coming full moon was just wearing him out.
~~~~~~
After potions the last three Marauders hurried up to their dorm. They really wanted to know how Harry was felling, well at least James and Sirius did. The last few stairs they walked up calmly, not wanting to wake up Remus.
As they entered the dorm they saw that both Harry and Remus were fast asleep. Fawkes hadn't left Harry's site until now, knowing James would watch over him now and he did.
James immediately sat down on the edge of Harry's bed, brushing the hair out of his son's eyes. Harry stirred a bit, but did not wake up.
"He looks so innocent when he's asleep. I wish I knew what he's been through. I want to be there for him, but he seems so far away."
"Don't worry, Prongs. It will be just fine in the end." Sirius said comforting his friend.
"Yeah, but he seems to know you and Moony much better then he knows me."
"What gave you that idea?"
"He said you were a great godfather and Moony the best teacher ever, but he didn't mention me."
"So?"
"So, I'm getting the feeling, he just really met me for the first time he can remember."
"What are you talking about?"
The two looked startled at Harry, who had just woken up.
"Nothing." Sirius answered a bit to quick for Harry's liking.
"What if I don't believe you?"
"We were talking about you." James answered truthfully.
"Why?"
"I feel like you know Padfoot and Moony better than you know me."
Harry stared at his covers, tears filling his eyes once again.
'I want to tell him the truth, I don't want to lie, but if I do that, I might change the future and I don't want that either. What do I do now?'
"Something wrong?" Sirius sat down at the other side of Harry's bed.
"Well, circumstances made it I never got to really know you in person, nor did I get to know my mom. I'd love to tell you about it and get it out of my system, but I will change the future and I can't do that."
"I understand. I was just scared I'm gonna be a bad dad or something."
Harry smiled a little.
"Well you might be."
"Take that back or I'll make sure you won't be born and the future will change for sure."
"Oke, you win, I take it back."
"You're the best." And James pulled Harry into a hug.
Harry felt so safe in his father's strong arms. He was sure that if James and Lily would have survived too, they would be the greatest parents ever.
Sirius smiled at his future godson's peaceful expression. You couldn't do anything but love this kid.
"You know, Evans asked where you were. I don't think she trusts us." James said.
"Give one reason why she should trust you." Harry joked.
"Because it's me." James answered.
"I think you just gave the reason why she doesn't trust us." Sirius said catching on to Harry's joke.
"Now you call yourself a friend."
"Yes, I do, but I also call myself your son's godfather." Sirius smirked.
The door opened and Lily come in.
"Are you ok, Harry?"
"Yes, thank you."
"Ok, I was just checking, you never know with those Marauders."
Harry smiled.
"They take very good care of me."
"They know responsibility? Hell must have frozen over."
"He Evans, Hogsmeade weekend Saturday. Wanna go with me?"
"Not in a million years, Potter." And with that she left.
"To bad, Prongs, maybe Prongslet can tell you if you ever catch her." Sirius said.
"No can do." Harry smirked. "But Hogsmeade weekend, you could have told me that."
"We just found out." Peter piped from his bed.
"We didn't ask you anything, Wormtail. Go back to whatever you were doing." Sirius snapped and than whispered. "Why did we make him a Marauder again?"
"Maybe we felt sorry for him, I don't know anymore." James whispered back.
Harry had trouble not to burst out laughing. Sirius and James looked each other in the eyes, smirked and then joined Harry in hiding their laughs.
"Come on, we don't want to wake up Moony." James had trouble saying that casually.
After an hour they went down for dinner and got a nasty surprise. Romulus was sitting next to Lily at Gryffindor table.
"Romulus, get your good-for-nothing arse back to your own table or else I'll help you get over there." James growled.
"I can sit here if I want to sit here, Potter." Romulus said, while putting his arm around Lily's shoulder.
"Get your arse out of here or I'll ask Voldie-poo a favour to do it for you." Harry hissed.
Romulus face drained of colour.
"You wouldn't."
"Oh yes I would."
Romulus jumped up and fled to Ravenclaw table, dragging Lily with him.
"You're not a Darth Eater, are you?" Sirius asked worried.
"No, more like Voldemort's worst nightmare." Harry smirked. "But that doesn't mean I can't joke with him."
The three Marauders took a relieved breath and sat down, changing the conversation to Hogsmeade.
"I really need to get to Zonko's. I'm almost out of Dumgbumbs." Sirius stated.
"And nose-biting teacups, we can sent a box to Snivellus with Halloween." Harry smirked.
"Brilliant! What kind of punishment will we get?" James thought out loud, hoping someone would answer.
"Let's hope it's good. We'll be done cleaning within ten minutes tomorrow." Sirius said.
"Do we have to do that?" Peter asked.
"Yes!" The other three Marauders said in unison.
At that moment Remus came walking in. James, who had been glancing at Lily and Romulus throughout their conversation, saw Romulus get out his wand. He did the same, but before any of the two could even think of a jinx, Harry hexed Romulus with a vegetable hex.
Romulus' eyes turned into Brussels sprouts, his hair into beans, broccoli grew out of his ears, teeth became green peas and his head turned into a cauliflower.
The whole hall erupted into laughs again, with the exception of the same people plus Romulus and his friends.
"Mr. Potter, what do you think you're doing?" McGonagall yelled.
"He was going to hex Remus, professor. I'm just teaching him to not even think about hexing a Marauder." Harry answered innocently.
"I will not tolerate this behaviour. Ten points will be taken from Gryffindor. Now use the counter-curse.
"Whatever." But Harry made no move to use a counter-curse.
"You want to lose your house fifty points?"
"There is no counter-curse." Harry said dully. "It will last a week."
If McGonagall wanted to do anything, Dumbledore pretended that by taking Harry's side.
"He was just helping a friend, Minerva, let it go."
The Marauders smirked, this was the first time Dumbledore, openly, stood up for them. Harry was considered a gift from heaven.
"Thank you, Harry. I appreciate what you just did." Remus said, while sitting down.
"No problem, I was looking for an excuse to do that anyway." Harry smirked.
"If Harry hadn't beaten me to it, I would have hexed him." James said, putting away his wand.
"You could just do it anyway." Sirius suggested.
"And piss McGonagall even more? No way." James hit him over the head.
"Good point." Sirius said, rubbing his head. "And that hurts you know."
"Yes I know, now eat."
Dinner past by quickly, as did the rest of the evening. Before they knew it, the Marauders were taking Remus to the Shrieking Shack. They just closed the door and at the same moment, Fawkes appeared.
"You here to keep me company?" Harry asked.
Fawkes made a sound in agreement.
"Well, I'm going to sleep."
Harry fell asleep very easily and Fawkes stayed with him all night.
~~~Somewhere else~~~
"So a boy from the future is at Hogwarts? He has to die and Saturday is the perfect opportunity."
A horrible laugh sounded, followed by more laughter from others.
