Harry gritted his teeth every time Peter talked to him. He couldn't help it. Every time he talked to him, Peter would ask these ridiculously annoying questions.
'Say Garry,'
'HARRY.'
'Yeah, okay. Say, why are you here?' asked Peter, in his annoying, coward's voice.
Harry thought of a good reason. He couldn't think of any.
'Does it matter?' James asked Peter. 'As long as they're not vicious Deatheaters, they're welcome in our household.'
Harry saw Peter sweating like mad.
'Haha.yeah. Vicious Deatheaters.' he gulped.
Hermione had to hold back Harry's fist just to stop him from punching Peter. He was right next to him. He could stop him from telling Voldemort of Godric's Hollow. But he didn't.
Hermione was glad he didn't but she didn't really know why.
As they left the house, they made sure nothing important was left. Voldemort might destroy it.
Harry heard James whisper to Lily.
'Lily, must we take Harry and Hermione? What if Voldemort finds us? He's looking for us, not them and he's probably going to kill them anyway.'
'I know James but where will we leave them? No doubt some Voldemort spy has seen them with us. He might try and go after them to see if they know where we're going.'
'Okay.' then he whispered quieter, 'I hope we're right about Peter.'
Peter, who was looking frantically everywhere, no doubt for Deatheaters, didn't hear what James and Lily said.
They stopped at a dead end.
James went forward and turned what seemed to be an invisible door knob. Then he disappeared.
'Uh, Mrs..I mean, Lily, what happened to him?' asked Hermione.
'That's how the spell works. Everything will be invisible and you won't be able to touch anything but the door knob.' she told her.
One by one they went in. Lily was carrying baby Harry.
Harry didn't want to say it but, he thought he was cute as a baby. He smiled every time baby Harry smiled. He had the chubby cheeks and emerald green eyes. He was still growing some baby teeth.
When Harry went inside, he saw that the great Godric's Hollow, didn't look much different than a normal house. He wondered who it belonged to before.
'Well, I guess we'll have to make ourselves at home.' said James.
'I'd love to stay and chat but I've got something to do back at home.' Said Peter. He was shaking a bit, which Harry noticed.
His parents' lives were at the hands of this man, who was balding and would soon have one finger less, not to mention his godfather's future.
Harry didn't bother saying goodbye to him. He pretended to be busy, checking out the house.
He wasn't, really. He could hear everything they were saying.
The moment Peter left, Harry noticed something on the wall.
It was a painting of a green dragon, the mystical kind. Harry studied the painting carefully. He noticed that there was a phoenix flying in the blood- red sky. The dragon was standing on something. It looked like a snake.
It was a nice painting. At one point, Harry thought he saw the green dragon on his neck give a red glow. But it quickly went away.
'I like your necklace, Harry...your manly necklace' laughed James as he approached him.
No one else was there. Lily and Hermione were probably off somewhere.
'Oh, This?'
'Yeah. I had one just like it. In fact, they look exactly the same!' he laughed.
'Where is it now?' Harry asked.
'Oh.I gave it to one of my dearest friends.'
'I see.' Harry looked at the painting.' What do you think this is?'
'The painting?'
'Yeah.'
'I'm not sure. There was a legend that a powerful serpent was defeated. I forgot what defeated it but from the painting, I'd say a dragon. Not many legends come true, of course.'
After a brief admiration of the painting, James said,' What say you and I eat whatever Lily cooked.'
'You're on.'
The Potters and Hermione ate their lunch. Lily and Hermione seemed to have the same interest in education. They spent the meal talking about it.
James and Harry, on the other hand, talked mainly about Quidditch. He didn't tell James that he was Gryffindor's Seeker, youngest at that, but he told him he was keen on the sport.
Eventually, after a few days, James got close enough to Harry that he told him he was an illegal animagi.
'How did you become an animagi?' he asked intently.
'Well, I have no idea, really. It just happened during my 1st year at Hogwarts.' said James.
'Yeah, he's a mere first year and he's already an outlaw.' joked Lily.
'Could you teach me how to become one?' asked Harry.
'I could, but you'd have to be prepared for the consequences of the Ministry.' said James, pronouncing 'Ministry' hard.
James was about to continue when they heard a noise coming from the chimney.
They went to check it out.
'Nice to see you, Professor.'
'Yes, yes, Nice to see you're all getting along, James.'
'Would you like anything, Professor? Water, coffee, butterbeer?' asked Lily.
'No thanks, I'm afraid we haven't got time for that.' he cleared his throat.' Lily, you and your husband are needed somewhere.' he said, making sure not to say "the Order" in front of two "unsuspecting" 17 year olds.
'Oh, I see.' said James, getting what Dumbledore meant.
Lily turned to Harry and Hermione.' Do you mind taking care of Harry while we're gone, Hermione?'
She giggled a bit. 'Which one?'
'We won't be long.I think.' said James.
'No, it's alright. Take your time.' said Harry. He wondered though, why they had to go 2 days before it happens.
The three of them used Floo powder and were off.
Hermione did as she was asked and babysat Harry.
