At lunch, Henry Potter came to the Gryffindor smiling and holding a wrapped package. He sat down with the three boys, Peter was off somewhere, and the other three didn't know where.
"This is Sirius, and Remus Lupin," James introduced his uncle to two of his friends. "Sirius, Remus this is my Uncle Henry."
"You look familiar," Uncle Henry raised an eyebrow at Sirius. "I don't think James mentioned your surname."
Sirius looked at James; he then looked at Henry Potter with a paled face. He spoke softly.
"What was that?"
"I'm Sirius… Sirius Black."
Uncle Henry gaped at the young Black. He then shook his head, "Did you say Black?"
Sirius nodded slightly.
"Ah… I see."
"He's my friend Uncle Henry," James stood up for Sirius.
"I wasn't going to say anything… but I can't guarantee that your father won't," Uncle Henry shrugged.
"He doesn't have to know," said James forcefully.
"And what do your parents think about this?" Uncle Henry looked at Sirius.
"I'm practically out of the family anyway," Sirius shrugged. "I'm a blood traitor to them."
"Well I won't say anything, I know your great uncle, and he's a good man," Uncle Henry told them. "I was just surprised to see you for two reasons, one I didn't realize a Black was in Gryffindor, and two you look like your father and uncles, some of who have had their pictures up in the Aurors Headquarters."
"That's my family," Sirius sighed at Uncle Henry's last comment. "And I've been told I look like all Black men."
"Just like James here looks like all Potter men," Uncle Henry ruffled James' hair.
James looked around, he wondered where Peter was. It was then that he spotted the present by Uncle Henry's feet, "Uncle what did you get me for Christmas?"
"After lunch," Uncle Henry laughed. "Some people would not appreciate me giving this to you."
"James, Sirius, Remus you will never believe this," Peter came up running to them. He stopped to catch his breath.
"What?"
"Its Snape."
"What about him?"
"The trick last night… he still… hasn't found his clothes. No has thought to look in the lake yet! He… has on… well the only person who would lend him anything is Worrell!"
James and Sirius laughed aloud. Remus smirked. Worrell, a 5th year Slytherin was 5'8, and a Slytherin Beater. He was ten times Snape's size.
"Has he been to any classes?"
"No, he's been too embarrassed!" Peter told them. "He's been yelling at everyone all morning. Slytherin's Head of House talked to Dumbledore this morning too!"
"So he's just sitting in his dorm?" Sirius grinned evilly.
"It would seem so," Remus couldn't help but laugh.
"Wonder if he's eaten anything today? We could send him a tray of food… with a few surprises." James grinned.
They all laughed again.
"You played a trick on this boy?"
"Only because he deserves it," James said still laughing.
"Well then I guess you will like my gift more than I thought," Uncle Henry smiled more. "I am glad for that. Do you have classes this afternoon?"
"No, we are free this afternoon," Sirius told James' uncle.
"Good… good, why don't we go up to your common room then," Uncle Henry got up. "I'm sure you four would like to put this gift to use as soon as possible."
They walked up to the Gryffindor common room all laughing and talking. They all told Uncle Henry about the jokes and tricks that they had played on the Slytherins.
"And we are the only students who have stood up to Lucius Malfoy and my cousins!" Sirius said excitingly. "They scare all the other students!"
"Malfoy?" Uncle Henry stopped.
"Yeah, he's a 3rd year, and an idiot!"
"Um, I want you four to promise me you will be careful with Malfoy," Uncle Henry's tone of voice was now very serious.
"He's just a bully!"
"His family has been involved with the Dark Arts, during the Grindelwald years," Uncle Henry told them.
"That's not surprising," Sirius shrugged, "I knew that."
"If Lucius is like his father, then I want you four to be careful. He could make your life difficult."
"I'm still not scared of him," Sirius shrugged. "I'm not scared of anyone."
"Me neither," James smiled at Sirius. "They should be scared of us!"
"We are known for our revenges!"
"Well as long as they are not that harmful," Uncle Henry continued to walk. "Just be careful. So how is school for you four?" He changed the subject.
"Easy."
"Simple."
"Interesting."
"It's so hard."
They laughed at Peter's comment.
"It is easy, Peter just is slow," James laughed, "What were you talking to Dumbledore about?"
"Just odds and ends. Nothing you have to know about, you are too young," Uncle Henry gave James a look.
"Is something happening?"
"Happening?" Uncle Henry asked.
"A war?" Sirius suggested.
"You are either listening to too many rumors, or letting your imagination get away from you. Nothing is happening."
James sighed deeply, why were they being treated like children? They weren't that young, and he wanted to know what was going on. It wasn't fair that they weren't being told anything.

Up in the 1st year dorm, Uncle Henry took the wrapped package and gave it to James. "Use it well."
With a look at Sirius, and then at his Uncle, James opened the gift eagerly. He opened it up to find a large cloak. James held it up, it was a silvery cloak, and James eagerly put it on. It was an old cloak, but still in good condition.
Sirius gasped, "That's an Invisibility Cloak!"
"That it is," Uncle Henry nodded.
"It's an invisibility cloak?" James' eyes widen. He looked down at himself, but there was nothing there. "I've got an invisibility cloak!"
"The cloak is passed down from father to son, when the son is in their first year at Hogwarts. I might be married, but I'm not sure if I will have children. I want you to have the cloak James, you are more like a son to me than a nephew."
"Thank you Uncle!"
"I trust you will take good care of it, and not mention anything to your father who never liked the idea of me having one. Your father, I don't need to tell you loved the library more than tricks or the Quidditch Pitch."
"I know," James nodded.
"He would not like you having this cloak, but I figure it's a tradition, and you will use it wisely."
"Of course I will," James grinned. He went up to him, invisible from neck down and gave his Uncle a hug.
"I'm glad you like it," Uncle Henry laughed. "As I said… use it well."
"Oh don't worry, I have plans for this Cloak," James grinned at Sirius, Remus and Peter. Remus shook his head wondering what plans James had in his head.
A few Author's Notes
Lina- no, Dumbledore isn't stupid at all. He as always knew they were there. Let James and Sirius think that they are smart though. But I'm not sure a silencing charm would work in his room, wouldn't it be so no one outside the room could hear?
