A/N: I'm so sorry it has been so long! I finished this chapter a couple weeks ago but I couldn't get on a computer that I could put this up on. Thanks for being patient! And please review! :)

~~Autumn~~

Lily herself, had started to cry on a cushy-looking furry black chair in the corner of the room.

Harry walked over, feeling like crying himself, awkwardly hugged his mother quickly, patted her on the back, and said reluctantly "Maybe I should go."

"No," Lily sniffled through. "Don't leave, Harry. I- and James- want to spend a lot more time with you. It's just that all of this new--stuff is a bit much. Besides, you still have to explain what's going to happen when you go back."

Harry's eyes widened and he rather stumbled back onto the very comfy couch. Remus (not to mention Hermione at Hogwarts) always told him that he should read the instructions thoroughly before using something. Now Harry wished he would have listened.

Harry gave an anxious smile and said "Well, mum, you see, I don't really know. I sorta didn't look at the directions."

Lily's tearstained face tightened while her jaw dropped. "Harry! Why on earth not? You should always read the-"

"Because he's my son, Lily. You should of guessed he had no clue about what he was doing," James said as he appeared smiling. "Well, we can worry about that later. How about now Harry tells us what he came for. I think he'd prefer that to one of your infamous lectures."

Lily's eyes narrowed playfully and she hit him lightly on the arm as she got up and wiped her face off with her sleeve.

Harry laughed a little and found his photo album, preparing to tell his parents everything, good and bad, that he had wanted to tell someone for all his life.

As Harry sat down with the precious photo album in his hand, a question came to him that he had always wanted to ask his parents. "What do you guys do for a living? No one's ever told me."

"Really? That's rather strange," Lily commented.

"Well, I'm an Auror," said James proudly.

"What about you, Mum?"

"It's rather difficult to explain, but I'm a pacificatorem-"

"What on earth is that?" Harry asked with confusion.

"Well it's like a wizard version of police men," Lily explained.

"Oh," said Harry, rather surprised.

"And I'm a musician also."

Harry was very surprised now. He hadn't thought from the way his mother had been described to him by others that she would be something like that.

But surprise wasn't a new thing for Harry so the shock went away fairly quickly. "Really? Wow. What do you play?"

"Well, we both play the electric guitar and I play the piano too," James answered for his wife.

"But..I thought you were an Auror. That's what you just said," said Harry, extremely confused.

"Well, Sirius, Remus, Peter," his eyes narrowed at this "and I, all had a band at Hogwarts. We called ourselves the Marauders, a nickname we'd given to ourselves first year. And Lily and her friends had a band too. Except I think they ended up being better than we were." James smiled. "They were called Surreal SEREL. Lily's the only who became a professional musician. She's an awesome singer."

"Who was in your band, Mum?" Harry asked eagerly, curious for more information.

Lily's eyes seemed to immediately cloud up as he asked this but she said solemnly "Seveawen, Evelyn, Eden, I, and-and-" Lily turned around with her hands over her face. James hugged her, suddenly looking as if he regretted ever mentioning Surreal SEREL.

As Harry observed the situation in front of him, he noticed that James looked just as upset, if not more, about the person that Lily was crying about.

Harry waited a little bit for his mother to calm down but she didn't so he went ahead and said hesitantly "Who's the other person?"

"She played the string bass in their band," James answered gravely. "She hung around us a lot too though. The Marauders, I mean. She died three years ago on a mission for the Order of the Pheonix. Her name was--was Rae........Rae Electra Lupin."

"What? She was related to Remus?" Harry asked, rather surprised that Lupin had a relative at school that had obviously been close but had never told Harry about it.

"Yes. But when she d-d-died, her name was Rae S-" Lily started shakily as she let go of James and began to settle down but was interrupted by a glare from her husband.

"Harry doesn't need to know that particular unwise choice of Rae's," James said sharply. He turned to Harry and quietly said "She was Remus' little sister."

"Sister?! What happened?" Harry said, surprised for what seemed the millionth time that night.

Harry's parents exchanged looks that Harry knew were important but couldn't tell what they meant.

"We probably shouldn't talk about that now, Harry," Lily said calmly as she turned her wrist and looked at her old muggle watch. "Anyway it's time for breakfast. Why don't you tell us some more about your life, Harry?"

"Okay," Harry said hesitantly. "But I don't know if I can really eat here."

He gladly discovered that he could indeed eat about five minutes later when his mother brought a large breakfast in. It turned out that Lily was an even better cook than Mrs. Weasley! And that was saying something. After Harry thanked her for breakfast and ate it quickly since he was quite hungry, he started telling his parents everything that he could remember. He didn't however, go into the full details of living with the Dursleys since he remembered his mother's reaction earlier. Whenever Harry got to a part where he encountered Voldemort his parents looked quite angry and upset but still told him to continue. By the time they had finished talking, Harry felt exhausted.

"I should probably go home now," Harry said after a while.

"Well, okay, but you have to promise to come back soon," Lily said reluctantly.

Harry hugged the parents that he thought he would have never gotten to see and concentrated on being back in his own bedroom very hard like the instructions had said to do. Suddenly he felt like he was flying into the ceiling and then crashed onto the floor in his bedroom.
