"What do you mean she's dating THAT Potter? You're lying Meg's got more sense than to date that."

Oh this could cause trouble, Harry thought as he watched his parents' face up to each other again. When his dad had left the dorms he'd decided to follow him. He was hungry to see more of him because the only memories he had of his father were sketchy at best, he'd wanted to follow him and see what he could find out about him safe in the knowledge that he couldn't be seen. However the situation now seemed to be getting out of hand and he knew there was little he could do without leaving these two here to kill each other. Harry knew that even though his dad had put a brave face on what Remus had said about Sirius and Megan his dad wasn't taking it too well and the first and worst person he'd bumped into was his mum.

"Well she obviously hasn't because I saw Si getting off with her and I'm telling you she didn't push him away. Why he'd want to kiss that though I don't know he might catch something!"

"You arrogant, self centred jerk," Lily yelled furious that he could talk about her friend like that "Black wouldn't catch anything off Meg and he'd be lucky to get a girl like her…"

"Lucky? Don't make me laugh," James spat out between clenched teeth as he advanced towards Lily effectively blocking her against the wall behind her. "Si could have any girl he wanted but he had to choose one of your band of friends, he could do so much better than the likes of you and your friends".

Harry watched dumbfounded as his mum's eyes sparkled with tears as the words hit her like blows however the look soon turned to anger, leaving no time for James to respond she brought her hand up and slapped him, hard, around the face.

"Don't ever talk about my friends like that again," Lily fired over her shoulder as she stalked off towards the common room.

James just stood and watched her retreating back, holding his stinging cheek where she'd slapped him.

Harry wished more than anything at this moment that he wasn't just a figment in this timeline that he was real. He wanted to talk to his dad and offer comfort because the pain and bewilderment in his eyes was tearing him apart, but he didn't even know whether his dad had realised what his true feeling for his mum were yet. Voices yelling from somewhere below brought his attention back to what was happening now and he decided to leave his dad to himself for a little while and go see what all the shouting was about.
