Colours, figures and objects suddenly started to come into focus around Harry again as he realised with a jolt that he had fallen into another memory Sirius seemed to have had a softer landing this time as he'd fallen into a big red chair with gold cushions. Harry looked around the room they were in quickly taking in the red and gold chairs, the huge fireplace with a big banner of a lion above it. I wonder what I'm going to see now he wondered as he realised where he was.

"Sirius why are we in the Gryffindor common room?" Harry asked quizzically looking up at Sirius.

"This is where my next memory of your parents takes place".

"Both my parents were in Gryffindor then?" Harry asked hungry for knowledge about his parents.

Sirius looked down at Harry questioningly; he noticed the hungry look Harry had in his eyes immediately. God I need to tell Harry all about his parents as soon as possible, he thought, he deserves to know and I should be the one to tell him about them.

"Yes Harry both your parents were in Gryffindor could they have been in any other house?" Sirius smiled mischievously down at Harry.

At that moment thousands of questions were buzzing around Harry's head. What were his parents like? What did they like to do? What were they like as people? What were they good at? And most important of all to Harry would they be proud of the person he was? Harry was about to ask Sirius some of these questions but was cut off just as the words were about to come tumbling out of his mouth, at that exact moment a young and very triumphant looking Sirius came running through the portrait hole, which had just swung open.

"Remember none of this is my fault I was a lot younger then er now… whatever," Sirius whispered hurriedly in Harry's ear.

Harry wondered what Sirius meant by this but didn't have time to ask him because just at that moment young Sirius skidded to a halt in the middle of the common room and looked hurriedly around him. His eyes suddenly seemed to alight on what he was looking for as his eyes lit up and he smiled and gave a slight nod towards somebody on the other side of the common room who Harry couldn't see.

"She's… she's… coming… James," young Sirius said breathing hard looking like he'd just run a marathon.

James suddenly appeared on the scene looking triumphant and giving Sirius a quick high five. I wonder who's coming, thought Harry looking around him puzzled it was then he noticed people were starting to edge out of the room. What's going on, he wondered. He didn't have long to think about it however because at that precise moment he heard shouting from the other side of the portrait hole.

"Black where are you? Give me my books back now! BLACK".

Young Sirius held a charms and a history of magic book high above his head like a trophy smiling and bowing at the crowd as they ran from the common room obviously sensing another confrontation between The Marauders and Lily. Few stayed to watch the show as all were too scared and anxious about the reactions of those involved in it to be brave enough to stay and watch. Those who did watch stayed pressed back against the farthest wall muttering and placing bets about who they thought would win this round. Suddenly with a mighty crash the portrait hole swung open revealing a very angry Lily. Harry noticed a couple of the ones who had been brave enough to stay change their minds and run out of the room at the sight of her. Lily looked livid her eyes were flashing dangerously and her mane of red hair was even more untamed than usual it would have to be a very brave man to stand up to his mum when she was looking like this Harry thought.

"Black," she said in a very dangerous voice, "give me my books…"

Suddenly she seemed to notice who was standing next to him.

"You," she cried, "I should have known".

She suddenly started to advance dangerously towards the pair of them wand outstretched.

"NOW," James suddenly shouted.

James and Sirius muttered a spell quickly and suddenly identical black jets of light flew out of the ends of their wands making their way straight towards Lily. Harry watched in amazement as his mum put up her wand to try and stop the spell hitting her but she was too late. The black light suddenly hit Lily knocking her wand out of her grasp; James quickly ran forward and grabbed it waving it tantalisingly in front of her face. Lily could only look up at him and snarl though as the black jets of light had tied her hands and feet together so that she couldn't move.

"Want this Evans?" James asked waving the wand in front of her face, "Tough!"

He then chucked the wand at Sirius who quickly slipped it into his pocket and grinned at James.

"Sirius how could you?" asked Harry shocked and a little upset about what he was seeing.

His parents hating each other this much, what was going on? How on earth was he even born?

"I told you I was a lot more immature then," Sirius muttered slightly embarrassed and a little upset about the accusation in Harry's tone.

Harry turned back to the scene in front of him not wanting to talk to Sirius about what he was seeing yet.

"POTTER LET ME GO NOW!" Lily screamed trying to struggle free of the magical ropes binding her.

"Nah not yet lets have some fun first," James replied smirking at Sirius.

"After all," he whispered into Lily's ear so that Sirius couldn't hear him "you had fun with me when you made me dance with Snape in a frilly pink dress so now it's my turn".

Lily's face visibly blanched at these words causing James to smile down at her. James got up slowly running his fingers down Lily's cheek as he got up causing her to visibly shiver. James smiled at this reaction and then went to join Sirius at the window.

"James Potter I'll get you for this," Lily shrieked as they waved their wands and muttered "Accio water balloons".

Harry watched amazed as about one hundred water balloons started hovering slowly down the stairs and stopped just above his mum's body. Harry noticed that they didn't look like normal muggle water balloons for starters they were twice the size and they also seemed to be giggling and pointing excitedly down at Lily who lay on the floor below them visibly shaking with what Harry assumed to be rage.

"Wizard water balloons," Sirius muttered following Harry's stare, "don't worry they won't hurt her and me and James get our comeuppance in a minute anyway.

Harry looked up at Sirius quickly wondering what he meant by this last comment but Sirius didn't say anything else he just stared at James and young Sirius who were standing laughing by the windows.

"You know she's gonna get us back for this don't you?" Young Sirius asked.

"Yeah but it'll be worth it for what she did to me," James shuddered visibly at the memory and then turned to find Sirius looking questioningly at him.

Young Sirius didn't get the chance to ask more questions after that though as the portrait hole swung open and three girls entered the room. Seeing Lily tied up beneath the water balloons they gave an enraged shriek and pointed their wands at James and Sirius.

"Accio water balloons," they all shrieked and the water balloons left Lily and headed straight for James and Sirius bursting all over them.

Harry watched his dad's face as his mum started to laugh it looked very strange to Harry for some reason. He suddenly realised that the liquid in the balloons couldn't have been plain old water as they were both starting to turn different colours and sprouting vegetables where the liquid had touched them. Harry couldn't help it the sight of them caused him to start laughing and he couldn't stop, he suddenly realised Sirius was laughing along with him as well. Then the room started to get dimmer and the last thing he saw was a bright flash as if someone had taken a photo.
