I am so very very VERY SORRY that I haven't updated in SO LONG! But, I've been in hospital (problems) and I've wanted to update, but I haven't had the chance. Anyway, I hope you enjoy! (Please tell me if it's rubbish, if it is, then I'm really sorry!)

To cause less confusion, I have changed a few names.

Young James=Prongs

Young Sirius=Padfoot

Young Remus=Moony

Young Peter=Wormtail

Young Lily=Lils

The young Arthur has managed to go back to his own time.

The next morning, Harry made his way down to the entrance of Hogwarts. He was really excited about going Christmas shopping with his parents; he was literally skipping until he heard two familiar voices behind him.

"Hey Harry, wait up" Harry smiled as he turned to see Jay and Emily running towards him.

"Morning you two. I'm going Christmas shopping in Hogsmeade with my parents today, cool eh?" Harry said with a grin. Jay and Emily nodded and beamed at him.

"We're gonna try and spend some quality time with our dads today. If our mums don't object of course" Emily said.

"Your dads are really cool! Professor Lupin's the best Defense teacher that we've ever had and Sirius is a really cool godfather!" Harry beamed at them. Jay grinned, then looked around to see if anyone was listening. No one was, so he spoke.

"I've been thinking-"

"Ooh, did it hurt?" Emily questioned, cheekily. Jay hit her on the arm playfully.

"Very funny, no, I mean, you know you said about how our dads were the Marauders"

Harry nodded.

"Well, why don't we become the Marauders Jr? I mean, you can be Prongs; I'll be Padfoot, Emily's Moony. We just need a Wormtail"

Harry shook his head.

"No, I don't want a Wormtail in our group"

"Why?"

"Long story. Hey, couldn't we have two others in our group?" Harry asked them both.

"But there's only-"

"I know, I know, it's just, what about Ron and Hermione? We can't exclude them! They're my best friends!" Harry exclaimed. Jay frowned, while Emily looked thoughtful.

"I suppose we could have them in our group, but we're gonna have to think up names for them and also, they'd have to be willing to pull pranks" Emily told him. Harry nodded and grinned.

"I'm sure they'd love to prank Snape" They all laughed.

"Morning, you three" Harry, Jay and Emily looked up to see James and Lily smiling at them.

"Hiya Mr. Potter" Jay waved at him. James shook his head slightly.

"Just call me James" Jay nodded and smiled.

"So Harry, we'll see you later?" Emily asked. Harry nodded.

"You bet! Oh and tell Ron and Hermione about our 'little group'" Harry said with a mysterious wink and a grin. Emily giggled, while Jay gave him the thumbs-up.

"See you round Prongs" Jay said and with that, both Emily and Jay walked off.

As Harry, James and Lily walked out of Hogwarts, a familiar voice stopped them.

"Lily! James! 'Arry! Good ter see yer again!"

"Hagrid!" Harry smiled as he gave the giant a hug.

"Alrigh' 'Arry? 'Aven't seen yer in a while. How have yer been?"

"I've been fine thanks"

"Hagrid, you haven't changed at all!" James exclaimed as he shook Hagrid's hand. Lily gave him a hug and a kiss on the cheek.

"It's wonderful to see you again" Lily said with a smile and tears in her eyes.

"Ah, Lily, don' cry! You'll make me cry!" Lily wiped her tears with her sleeve and shook her head.

"I'm not crying I'm just a little emotional. It's been a long time"

"It 'as!" Hagrid nodded in agreement "I suppose young 'Arry 'ere is wantin' ter do his Christmas shopping?"

Harry nodded furiously, while grinning.

"Hey Hagrid, How's Fang been?"

"Fang? Ee's still the same. 'Asn't changed at all" Harry laughed.

"Ave yer seen Sirius an' Remus? They're actin' very strange" Hagrid told James worriedly. James looked at him with a concerned expression on his face.

"Strange? What do you mean by that?"

"Well, they ain't been themselves; they're sayin' things like teachin' for Defense against the Dark Arts an' talkin' bout kids. They ain't been down ter see me either an' they normally come ter see me every Friday" Hagrid told him.

"Oh! Hagrid, I don't think you need to worry about that!" Lily told him with a kind smile on her face "Sirius and Remus have only just found out that they have kids and James, Remus and Sirius have all been given the Defense class, so that the kids learn the spells quicker"

Hagrid nodded in understanding, then his face became one of horror.

"You mean, James, Sirius an' Remus are teachin'!" Hagrid said, looking horrified. James chuckled as he nodded.

"Yup. The Marauders are back and teaching kids. Funny because I never thought I'd see the day when that happened" Harry, Lily, Hagrid and James all laughed.

"Well, we'd better be going Hagrid, when we get back, we'll have another chat" Lily promised him. Hagrid beamed and turned to look at Harry.

"Arry, take care an' I'll see yer later"

Harry nodded and smiled.

"Bye Hagrid!" Harry yelled as he walked towards the horseless carriages, waving madly.

"Three butterbeers please" James said, while smiling at the waitress.

"Three butterbeers coming right up" Three butterbeers were pushed down to the other side of the bar and James, Lily and Harry caught them.

"Cheers. To having the family together again"

"Here here!" Lily and Harry cried in unison, while swigging on their butterbeers.

When their butterbeers were drained, Harry had a mischievous grin on his face.

"Uh-oh! Please don't tell me that butterbeer makes him hyper" Lily prayed silently.

"I don't think so" James said, looking doubtful.

"I've just had an idea" Harry told them.

"Really? What?" James asked.

"Let's go see Aunt Petunia!" Lily's glass dropped from her hand and smashed on the floor as she stared open-mouthed at her son.

"Petunia? Are you insane?! She'll go crazy!"

"Well, she has had to look after me every single summer and every single year until eleven, I think she'd like the surprise" Harry grinned. Lily blinked several times, while James was laughing at them both.

"I don't see why not. Come on Lils, why not? I wanna see the looks on their faces!" James said, jumping up.

"Oh, let me tell you now. Petunia doesn't talk about you two much. Hardly at all even. The only time she's talked about you is when Dumbledore sent her a howler a few weeks before term started. She called you *her* and she called dad *that boy*" James roared with laughter.

"Oh my god! This sounds hilarious!" James cried.

Lily shook her head, while trying to stop herself from smiling.

"Petunia doesn't like magic"

"So I found out when she tried to stop me going to Hogwarts" Harry muttered. James' and Lily's jaws dropped open.

"She tried to stop you going to Hogwarts?!" Lily cried. Harry nodded and grinned.

"But Hagrid told her that she couldn't stop me and he got me away from them, I'll always be grateful" James and Lily smiled.

"Aw, c'mon Lils, I think it'll be funny when they realize it's us"

"Yeah, Aunt Petunia will probably faint! Hey, then I can hex Dudley!" Harry smirked. Lily shook her head.

"I don't think so! You're not allowed to use magic outside of school!" She said sternly.

"Aw man! Totally unfair!" Harry said, pretending to pout.

James chuckled.

"Come on you two. Let's go! See the muggles first; scare them, then onto Hogsmeade for some Christmas shopping!" He yelled as he linked arms with both Harry and Lily. They all ran off to the Dursley's.

Harry knocked on the door, while stifling laughter. He couldn't wait to see the look on the Dursley's faces. Vernon opened the door and narrowed his eyes.

"What are you doing back here boy?" He growled. Lily was looking apprehensive, while James was looking at Vernon with a raised eyebrow.

"You'd better not have been expelled! We don't want you back here!" Vernon said through gritted teeth.

"Don't worry Uncle Vernon, I haven't been expelled, but it's nice to see that you care" Vernon went bright red as his eye twitched madly.

"Who are you?!" Vernon spat at Lily and James.

"We would like to see Petunia" James told him. Vernon eyed James with complete dislike.

"I'm not going to let you see her! For all I know, you'll attack her with your freak power that you call magic!" He spat. Lily gasped and looked at Vernon with narrowed eyes.

"Let me see Petunia!" Lily drew out her wand and pointed it at Vernon "Or else"

Vernon seemed to be contemplating whether or not to call Petunia, but in the end, he ended up calling her.

"PETUNIA! THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE HERE TO SEE YOU!" Vernon bellowed. Petunia made her way to the door, took one look at both Lily and James, went extremely pale and gripped onto Vernon.

"Vernon, it's, it's THEM!" She shrieked.

"What are you talking about?" Vernon snorted.

"It's THEM! THE . . . POTTERS!" She screamed. Vernon looked at Petunia with disbelief.

"Hiya sis! Did ya miss me?" Lily said with a grin. Petunia screamed as she ran back into the house.

"GET THEM AWAY FROM ME!" She cried. Vernon tried to calm her down, but to no avail, Petunia just carried on screaming.

James, Lily and Harry looked at each other and shared a grin and a laugh.

"I think we've caused enough trouble here, don't you?" Lily questioned. Harry and James nodded, but before they left, James smiled at them.

"Hope to see you soon!" he waved merrily at them, Petunia sobbed onto Vernon, while the Potters left.

"Ooh! Do you think Sirius would like this?" Harry questioned his father as he held up a necklace with a star of Sirius. (The Dog Star) attached to it. James smiled and nodded.

"Coming from you, I think he'd love it" Harry beamed at this.

"Damn, what could I get Remus? He's always so hard to buy for because I never know what to get him" Lily muttered.

"Get him a book" James said. Lily stared at him.

"A book? A book about what?"

"Defense against the Dark Arts, after all, he is teaching it" James told her. Harry nodded.

"I was thinking of buying that as well" Harry pointed to a necklace with a wolf on it. James chuckled.

"I guess you know about Moony being a werewolf then"

"Of course, Ron, Hermione and I found out in third year"

"Um . . . Harry, I can't believe I'm saying this, but what sort of things do you like?" Lily asked him.

"Oh, er . . . well, I like Quidditch, sweets, that sorta thing" Harry told her.

"Quidditch?" Lily asked, rolling her eyes "Not another one"

"Hey, don't buy me a broom okay? Sirius has already bought me the fastest one there is, so-"

"Did he?" James asked, his eyes literally popping out of their sockets.

"Yeah, in third year, when my Nimbus 2000 broke"

"Oh, well that was very nice of him"

"Um . . . mum, dad, what sort of thing would you like for Christmas?" Harry questioned his parents.

"Well anything really" James said slowly.

"Yeah, hey, let's go off in our own directions and buy presents for each other" Lily said suddenly. James and Harry agreed, so they set off in different directions in Hogsmeade.

Harry walked into Flourish and Blotts and looked around, there were books everywhere. He would definitely find something for Lily in here. While he was scanning a bookshelf, he heard a high-pitched scream coming from outside. He whirled around and saw outside the window, two death eaters. His heart seemed to pound in his throat. His mum and dad. That's why they were here! Why had he agreed to go to Hogsmeade, he should have realized that this would have happened. He had to warn them, and soon!

Harry had luckily brought his dad's invisibility cloak with him. He chucked it over himself and made for the door. The door burst open before Harry even reached it. About half a dozen death eaters ran amok, they were obviously searching for him. Just as he made for the door again, Lily and James appeared at the door, pale and out of breath.

"Mum! Dad! I'm here!" Harry hissed, quickly showing them where he was. They both nodded.

"Get outta here! They're looking for you!" Harry whispered urgently to them.

"No! We're fighting!" James told him, while drawing out his wand. Lily doing the same.

"NO!" Harry shouted. Unfortunately, the death eaters had heard this and had spotted the Potters.

"Ah! If it isn't Lily and James!" The nearest death eater said, sounding suspiciously like Lucius Malfoy "Come here and feel pain!" he hissed as he made to hex them. Without thinking, Harry threw off his cloak and stepped in front of Lily and James, his wand poised and a look of utmost loathing on his face.

"If you wanna hex my parents, you'll have to kill me first!" he yelled.

"Harry NO!" Lily cried.

"MUM! DAD! GET OUTTA HERE NOW!" Harry shouted hysterically.

James complied and grabbed hold of Lily and hauled her away. Lily screaming, shouting and crying as she was being dragged away from the danger.

"I'VE GOT TO SAVE MY BABY!" Lily screamed, tears spilling down her cheeks.

"Harry knows what he's doing!" James cried, keeping his arms firmly around Lily's waist, while dragging her.

"Crucio!" Harry screams could be heard throughout the whole of Hogsmeade. Lily carried on crying and screaming.

"Avada Kedavra!" A yell of surprise and fear rang throughout the shop.

While James was hauling Lily to the Shrieking Shack, they bumped into Peter Pettigrew.

"Hello all" Peter squeaked his high-pitched voice.

"YOU!" James roared, stepping forward and completely forgetting about Lily. Lily held onto his arms to stop him doing anything foolish.

"Dad! LEAVE HIM!" Harry shouted. James turned to see Harry running towards them.

"STUPEFY!" Harry bellowed, aiming his attack at Peter. The aim was true, when Peter fell over, stunned.

"Let's get outta here!" Harry said urgently. Lily and James didn't need telling twice as they made their way to the Shrieking Shack and through the tunnel back to Hogwarts.
