Padfootlet: Ok... I am really really really sorry it took so long....like I
said I left my notebook with the chapter in it so I couldn't finish the
story. So to make it up to you I made this chapter a little longer. But I
think it's kind of a boring chap I guess that's up to you though! So, I am
done with my rambling on...on to the fic!!!
Padfoot: Padfootlet in now way what so ever owns Harry Potter.
Padfootlet: Oh and one more thing... This isn't a romance so I'm not gonna do Harry/Ginny or Ron/Hermione.... Sorry Griffin fox! (Takes out wand to defend self) Don't hex me!

The summer had gone by pretty uneventfully. Not counting the constant pranks around the house courtesy of James.
It was now already September 1st, and the house was in complete chaos as Harry, Ron, James, and Ginny were running up and down the stairs getting things they had forgotten.
"Boys! Hurry up! We're going to be late! The guards already here!" Mr. Weasley yelled up the stairs.
Harry Ron and James came running downstairs.
"O-k... We're... ready." Harry said between gasps. Putting Hedwig's cage down.
"Good, now let's get going."
&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*&*
"Look after yourselves. And send an owl or tell Dumbledore if you notice anything suspicious." Lupin said
"Ok." Replied Harry. And he, James, Ron, and Ginny walked towards the train.
"Bye Moony!" James called over his shoulder. Remus smiled and waved goodbye to his old friend and the rest.
Harry, Ron, James and Ginny got on the train. "Ginny! Hey Ginny! C'mon! We've got a compartment!" Yelled one of Ginny's 5th year friends.
"Hey you guys! Well bye Ron!" "Bye" Harry, Ron and James said in unison.
"Harry!" Harry turned around. "Oh hey Hermione!"
"How'd the rest of your summer go?" "Great you?" Oh it was fantasitic!"
"See Vicky did you Hermione?" Inquired Ron. Hermione glared at him.
"Actually my parents and I went to the States for two weeks. It was fantastic! We went to California for one week and then my parents took me to Salem Massachusetts for another week to-"
That's nice. Now can we get a compartment before they all fill up?" Interrupted James. Hermione Glared at him for interrupting her but then said, "Yes. Ok. But Ron and I have to go to our prefect meeting. So we'll find you guys later."
"Ok, bye!" Hermione and Ron waved good-bye to Harry and James and began to trudge down to the prefect compartment.
~_^MWPPMWPPMWPPMWPPMWPPMWPPMWPPMWPPMWPPMWPPMWPP~_^
Harry and James had been looking for an empty compartment for about 5 minutes. "There are no more compartments left!" Said James "I say we hex some Slytherin's out of their compartment." He said getting his wand out.
"Do you really want a compartment a Slytherin was in?" Harry said grinning.
"Good Point" James grinned and pocketed his wand.
Just then Neville Longbottom popped his head out of a compartment. "Harry! You looking for a compartment?"
"Yeah, you got any room?"
"Yeah, come on in." Harry and James picked up their trunks and went into the compartment.
"I thought I was going to have to ride alone." Neville said sitting down. Harry and James sat down opposite of Neville.
Neville stared opened mouthed at James and gaped like a fish out of water. "Is he ok?" James asked his son quietly
"Harry.... H...he looks j...just like you!" Neville said, wide-eyed.
"Nothing gets by you does it?" James said raising an eyebrow, grinning.
'Crap. I hadn't even thought about how people were going to react to seeing someone that looks exactly like me. If I tell him then he'll think I'm nuts.' Thought Harry anxiously. "He's er...my uh...father." He said looking at his feet.
Neville raised an eyebrow. "I'm not that thick you know."
James snorted. "Apparently you are." He said under his breath. Neville heard him and started to gape again. "ARE YOU SERIOUS???!!!!"
"Actually Sir-"
"Please don't go there again." Harry said looking up. James was going to make the Serious/Sirius joke. James grinned, and Neville continued to gape.
"You know Neville if you don't shut your mouth your gonna swallow a bug." Harry said grinning.
Neville shut his mouth and shook his head. "B...but how? Harry... your father well um... you know dead." He said quietly and in a small voice.
"Why must everyone...EVERY time HAVE to say that every time they find out who I am?" James sighed. Harry sighed as well and said, "No idea. But we do know he's from the past. You... DO believe me... don't you?"
"Well... well you weren't lying about you-know-who last year Harry. So I guess I do, I mean last time you were telling the truth and there was no evidence, and this time there is."
"Well your probably going to be one of the very few that will believe us." James said.
"Nah, Dumbledore will probably explain." Harry said. James shrugged "Maybe."
An hour or so passed and James, Harry and Neville were talking about O.W.Ls "I actually did better than I thought I did. I got an outstanding in Herbology." He said proudly.
Then the compartment door opened. "Anything off the trolley dears?"
"Great! I'm starving!" James said jumping up.
"You know, you look just like young Mr. Potter there.
"Ya don't say?" James said grinning. Harry and Neville grinned as well.
After James, Harry and Neville had bought half of the sweets off the trolley, they sat down and were happily munching on chocolate frogs, Berti Botts Every Flavor Beans, and Pumpkin Pasties, The compartment door opened again.
Ron and Hermione came in. "Hey." Harry said chucking Ron a chocolate frog. Ron sat next to James and tore open his chocolate frog. While Hermione took a pumpkin pastie from James and sat down next to Neville.
"So how was the meeting?" asked Harry.
"A nightmare." Replied Ron.
"It wasn't that bad Ron."
"Speak for yourself. This year is going to be a nightmare!"
"Like last year wasn't?" Harry said grinning
"Ok this year is going to be a nightmare as well. They have us doing late night patrolling shifts. And the new Head boy I swear is worse than Percy ever was!"
"I am so glad I was never made prefect." Said James.
"Why's that? I mean it's a great honor to—"
"Hermione please don't go into one of your speeches." Harry said lazily. Hermione 'hmphed', and took out a 'Standard Book of Spells Grade 6' and disappeared behind it. Ron rolled his eyes.
^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^&^
The rest of the day went bye pretty comfortably. They were visited by their fellow 6th year Gryffindors, who all had the same reaction to James that Neville had.
Word soon spread around the train that Harry Potter's 16-year-old father was here from the past.
Soon they had a whole line of visitors trying to catch a glimpse of the boy from the past.
Ron finally became so irritated that he threatened them all with detention if they didn't clear off. After everyone left, Hermione put down her book Surprisingly, she looked anxious.
"What's up with you?" Harry asked puzzled.
"I don't think that was a very good idea Harry."
"What?" Harry, James, Ron and Neville said in a unison.
"Telling them that your16-year-old father is here from the past!"
"Well duh Hermione. Did you see all of those people? It was like I was some kind of freak or something!
"Oh shut up, you know you liked the attention. Harry said grinning.
"Well, maybe a little." James grinned.
"Harry, I think we need to see Dumbledore as soon as we get off the train." Hermione said.
"Why?"
Hermione glanced nervously at a confused Neville then said, "I'll tell you later, but we just have to see him ok?"
James, Ron, and Harry looked at her in confusion.
"Whatever you say Hermione." Was Harry's response.
Hermione, desperate for a change in subject said, "I think we should change." They all changed in silence. An hour or so later the train came to a stop.
"C'mon Ron. We have to make sure everyone gets off the train."
"Right. See you!"
"Bye!" Harry, James, and Neville said in a unison.
After Hermione and Ron left Harry, James and Neville started to get their trunks. "Hey dad ya mind carrying Pig for me?"
"Yeah sure." Harry handed James his cage. "Er... Harry?"
"Hm?" He was busy getting Hedwigs cage.
"This looks nothing like a pig." James said confused. Harry laughed. "I know. Don't ask." "Wasn't gonna." James said smiling.
"Hey Neville can you carry Crookshanks?" Harry asked shoving the ginger cat into the boy's arms. Without waiting for a response. "Sure."
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*
Harry, James and Neville trudged out of the crowded halls of the train and out onto the Hogsmeade platform. It was a cool, clear September night.
"Firs' years! Firs' years follow me!"
"Hey Hagrid!" Harry called over the crowd.
"Alrigh' there Harry?"
"Great!"
"See ya at the feast!" Hagrid turned and left with the first years.
"Bye!"
"C'mon, I don't want to have to share a carriage with a bunch of Slytherins." James said. With that, Harry, James and Neville went over to where the threstral drawn carriages were.
"Oi! Harry!" "Hey Ron!" Ron and Hermione had relieved James and Neville of Crookshanks and Pig. They got into the carriage.
When they stopped they got out and started up to the castle. But not before Harry could give the threstral a grateful pat.
"Are you petting one of those mad horses?" Harry nodded. "Well can you hurry up? I'm hungry!" Ron whined.
"You just ate half the sweets Harry and James bought! How can you still be hungry?" Hermione asked incrediously.
"I did not just eat. Just because you can practically starve yourself doesn't mean I can you know!"
"I don't starve myself Ron! I just don't stuff myself until I pop!"
Ron opened his mouth to reply but Harry cut him off. "Will you two give it a rest already?" He was getting sick of their fights.
Ron 'hmphed.' They walked the rest of the way in silence.
They got inside and started to walk towards the Great Hall when Hermione stopped them.
"Aren't you forgetting something?"
"Er... I don't think so... why?" asked James.
"Dumbledore! Remember? We have to see Dumbledore!"
"Can't this wait Hermione? We're hungry!" Ron whined.
Besides, he wouldn't be in his office anyway. He would be at the feast. And then he'll be to tired afterwards. Why don't we just wait until break tomorrow?" James said.
Hermione sighed, "I suppose so." And they walked into the Great Hall for the Welcoming feast.
