Chapter 5: Live for the Day: Part I

Harry started to wake up the next morning from the sun coming into his room. But before he opened his eyes the light was soon covered by darkness…he was wrapped up in some sort of bag that resembled a sleeping bag. Harry started to get scared. What if this was it; the death eaters had found their way into the Potter home. Harry started squirming under the grip of the bag holder until he felt himself fall.

Harry quickly got out of the bag and pointed his wand at what he saw, but soon laughed at the sight. Lily had her wand pointed at Sirius and James was laughing at the kitchen table.

"Gosh Lily I wasn't going to hurt the kid, just having a little fun." Sirius said.

"You should know Lily better, you know she hates people messing with Harry." James said.

"I knew she was defensive but I never thought she would be like this to me." Sirius said holding his hand out to help Harry up off the floor.

Once Harry was up and out of the reach of Sirius, Lily put her wand down on the table and chased after him. Sirius, seeing what she was going to do, ran into the living room and up the stairs.

Harry and James both laughed from where they were until they heard a loud bang come from up the stairs. At that moment James came up to Harry and said, "What do you say we go up and make sure that Godfather of yours is still alive."

Harry just smiled back to his father and the two ran up the stairs into the guestroom. In it Lily was on top of Sirius punching him in the chest, light punches of course, and Sirius was pretending to be hurt. James walked up to Lily and pulled the girl off him and put her down on the floor. Unfortunately she then grabbed his leg and he came toppling down. Harry watched the three "adults" battle it out on the floor when suddenly James sat up, although with some difficulty because Lily on top of him.

James said, "Hey, why is it that the three of us are on the ground and Harry here is the only one who is still standing."

When James said this both him and Sirius got a look of mischief on their faces, now Harry knew why they caused so much trouble in school.

"No no no, you guys leave Harry out of this," Lily said trying to get up to help defend her son.

James then grabbed Lily and held her down and shouted, "Sirius I got Lily, you get Harry."

At this Sirius bolted to Harry whose quick thinking told him to run down stairs. But a part of him wanted to join the fun, so he made a play get away, he ran slow, and Sirius soon caught him and picked him up (Sirius is pretty strong) and put him next to Lily.

"Ok, now that we have caught the prisoners," James said as if he were a kid again, "I say, two hours in this room will be a fine punishment." And with that the door closed and it locked leaving Harry and his mother in the guestroom by themselves.

"Great," Harry said, "now what do we do."

But instead of answering Lily sat on the bed thinking.

"Mom," Harry said, "what are you doing. Don't you want to get out of here?"

"Of course I do, but I would think you should know from experience that there is always something in the room that can be used to escape." Lily said

"What are you thinking?" Harry asked.

"Um. Let's try this." Lily then took off her wedding ring and put it on the doorknob and surprisingly it opened.

"Something's wrong," Lily said as the door opened. "They wouldn't make it this easy, they have to be planning something else."

"They are probably ready to catch us right down the stairs." Harry said.

"You're probably right," Lily answered, "But we should head down and maybe we will get to them before they can set everything up."

So Lily and Harry made their way to the living room. When they got down the stairs the house was quiet, too quiet.

"Something's up," Harry said although he was not able to put his finger on it.

Just then the faintest words, probably a spell, could be heard coming from what seemed like air.

"They're in here," Lily said, "and they are using that damn invisibility cloak."

But Harry did not hear her; he was too busy looking at his skin and clothes. He was now painted green and Lily was painted silver; the colors of Slytherin.

"Mom," Harry said half-laughing, " I think Padfoot and Prongs have struck again."

At this she looked at her clothes and then processed to search the room for where the "men" were hiding.

"Harry help me," Lily said almost pleading.

So Harry and Lily spent a good fifteen minutes trying to find Sirius and James, however they were unsuccessful in their attempts.

"Looking for something," Sirius said from the kitchen who was standing next to James.

"You two are in so much trouble." Lily said walking up to them with Harry right by her side.

"Oh really and what is little Lily going to do to little old Sirius." Sirius said leaning down to her level.

"Fine!" Lily said throwing her hands up in surrender, "I give up, but mark my words Black, I shall have my revenge."

"Ok Lily, I'll be waiting for your comeback."

Lily just looked Sirius in the eye and then turned around to go into the bathroom, but Sirius's voice stopped her from closing the door.

"Hey Lily! Why and I the only one who gets punished, what about James over here." Sirius said motioning his hands toward James.

"It is not that I don't blame him Sirius, because I do. It is mostly that I believe you had much more to do with this." Lily said pointing toward her's and Harry's skin. She then closed the door behind her and disappeared from view.

"Well, touchy!" Sirius said

"I heard that!" Lily yelled from the bathroom.

Sirius then stuck his tongue out at the closed the door and mumbled something along the lines of ears of steel and then walked into the living room; Harry, James and (when she got out) Lily followed him. Also when she got out she took the spell off of her and Harry.

They sat there for about a half-hour just giving each other death looks. Lily was sitting close to James on the couch, Sirius was on the love seat, and Harry was on the rocking chair. Although for most teenagers, seeing their parents next to each other like a loving couple might have grossed them out, but for Harry he enjoyed seeing it. He now understood why his parents got married straight out of Hogwarts, they were in love. You could see it in their eyes, and the way they interacted that love was very much apart of their lives. Even if he only had his parents for a week at least he would be able to remember them the way they were now and not those fighting fifteen-year-olds.

After a while of sitting Sirius got up from his seat and went up to the Potter's food cabinets.

"You guys don't have any food in here. Why didn't you tell me you needed food?" Sirius asked concerned about his friend's well being and forgetting about the argument.

"I guess we just forgot," Lily said with a smile forming on her face. "Now that you mention it could you go get up some food for lunch, we'll make it when you come back?"

"Sure of course." Sirius said, "Anything special you guys want?"

"The normal stuff," Lily said.

"And some more parchment, I'm running out." James said.

"Ok, well I guess I am going to Diagon Alley too." Sirius said with a tone, although he really did not mind going there to get something his friends needed. "Anything for you Harry?"

"Nothing special." Harry said.

"Alright then I'll go now, I'm starving!" Sirius said leaving the house.

"Lily tell me right now what you are planning to do, I know that smile is only on your face when you have an evil idea." James said.

"Well I was just thinking this is the perfect time to get Sirius back for what he did." Lily said with the look of mischief in her eyes.

"Well what did you have in mind?" Harry said from across the room.

"What you too. You guys do know you are gaining up on my best friend and your Godfather." James said.

"That is what makes it fun." Lily said smiling, "so I guess you're not in."

"Of course I am, never has Prongs stepped down the urge to prank someone." James said. "So tell us what your plan is?"
