Chapter 2:

The Mirror

A 16-year old James Potter sat at the Gryffindor table staring at a mirror.

"Staring at your reflection again, James?" asked his 16-year old girlfriend Lily Evans.

"No, Lils, I'm watching the future." He said not taking his eyes off the mirror.

"Don't start that again, Prongs." Warned one of his friends, Remus Lupin

"No, guys, really I am. I translated the inscription-" he started only to be cut off by his best friend, Sirius Black.

"Jamesy, what's happened to you?! You've gone smart on me!" he said mock crying on the shoulder of one startled Peter Pettigrew.

"Padfoot, quit your scaring Wormtail." Said Remus dragging Sirius off of Peter.

"Thanks, Moony. Well as I was saying the inscription is: Ille Praeter Possium Facere Spectare Ille Futura, Ille Futura Possium Facere Specare Ille Praeter." James explained.

"And that means.?" asked one Arthur Weasley.

"The Past May See The Future, The Future May See The Past." James replied.

"Oh, I get it." Said one Molly Mustela, who just happened to be Arthur's girlfriend.

"So what are you watching?" asked Lily.

"You mean /who/ am I watching. Well I'm watching my son." Said James grinning.

"WHAT?!" said the Marauders, Lily, Arthur, and Molly together, startling a few first years.

"Yep. But I have a feeling he's our son." He said looking at Lily.

"Oh, God, no." she said sliding down in he seat.

"Yeah. He looks like me with your eyes. Here see for yourself." He said giving Lily the mirror.

The people who hadn't seen the mirror crowded around Lily, including James.

Inside the mirror.

Harry was massaging his temple. Ron and Hermione were bickering- again- and it was giving him a headache.

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not"

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"SHUT UP!!"

Ron and Hermione jumped at Harry's sudden outburst.

(Sirius: Look who's a Grumpy Gus. James: Sirius. Sirius: What? James: Shut up. Sirius: Okie-dokie, Jamesy-wamesy. James: ::grumbles::)

Ironically, Harry was grumbling just like James.

"What's eating you?" Ron asked.

(James: Molly, Arthur, I think I've found your son. Arthur: Who? James: Him. ::points at Ron:: Arthur, Molly: He does look like us. ::look at each other and moves away::)

"You two."

"Why what did we do?"

"Ron, you moron-"

"Hey!"

(Arthur, Molly: Hey!)

"Can't you tell it was because we were fighting?"

"No."

"I'm sitting next to the world's biggest idiot."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"Am not."

"Are too."

"DO YOU TWO EVER GIVE IT A REST?!" Harry yelled over them.

(Remus: Prongs, you son has mood issues. James: I've already figured that out, Moony. Remus: Just helping. James: ::rolls eyes::)

"Sorry." They mumbled.

"I'll quote my best friend who is not here at the moment, 'Sorry my arse!'"

"Harry, I thought I was your best friend." Ron said pouting.

"I was quoting you! Hermione's right." Harry said rolling his eyes.

"I /knew/ you would take her side!" Ron said glaring at him.

Harry let out a frustrated sigh.

"I was right." Said Hermione crossing her arms.

"Was not."

"Was too."

"Wasn't."

"Was."

"Wasn't."

"Was."

"Wasn't."

"Was."

"Wasn't."

"Was."

"Wasn't."

Out of the mirror.

They thought they heard him say,

"They'll make me lose what very little sanity I have left."

"With friends like that who needs enemies?" Peter said amused.

"US!!" the Marauders said grinning.

Lily, Arthur, and Molly rolled their eyes. They were still staring at the mirror. Obviously Dumbledore noticed because he said,

"And what is so interesting, may I ask?"

It scared the crap out of them. It was then that they noticed that the feast was over and they, with Dumbledore, were the last people left in the Great Hall. They instantly hid the mirror.

"Nothing, Sir." They said together.

Dumbledore looked from one guilty face to another.

"Is there something you would like to tell me?"

"No, Sir." They said together quickly.

He gave them a searching look again, finding nothing, he said,

"Well then run along to your common room. Remember classes start tomorrow. Good night."

"Good night, Sir." They said together, again.

After he got out of earshot Sirius said,

"I wonder if he can read minds?"

"Who cares? We'll watch them when we get back to the common room, well when it's empty anyway." Said James.

"Good plan." Said Molly.

They got up and walked out. In silence they walked until Remus said,

"Your son is less like you than I am!"

"Thanks a lot." James grumbled sarcastically.

"Your welcome!"

James glared at Remus.

"Well everyone we're here!" Sirius said.

"We only have one problem." Molly said.

"What?" Arthur asked.

"Password." She answered.

"No problem. Rodniffyrg." Peter said.

"How did you know?" Lily asked astonished.

Peter shrugged mysteriously and walked in. Everyone rushed in eager to see the happenings of the future. But little did they know that they were going to watch it closer then they ever imagined.
