Chapter Nine – Discussions: Part One

Godric's Hollow

Harry stepped out of the fireplace and smiled. He was home. He reached up to his neck and woke Isis up, "Isssisss, wake up. Thisss isss our home." Isis lifted his head and looked around. He slithered to the floor and curled up in front of the fireplace.

Harry smiled at his parents and went off to look around the house. He left the entrance hall where the floo was and entered the living room. It was colored red, gold and black. It had a sofa and two recliners. Harry stood there blinking for a few moments, "We have a television?"

Sirius stepped up behind him and grinned, "Yep, we also have a telephone. It was your mothers idea. Living with muggles and all."

Remus frowned a little, "It's going to take awhile to get used to the fact she's not muggleborn you know."

Harry stepped out of the living room and went to the next room. It was the kitchen. He blinked and stared, "Dobby?"

Dobby the house elf turned around and looked at Harry, "Harry Potter sir! Dumblydore send Dobby to help, Harry Potter. Is Harry Potter hungry?"

"No, Dobby, thank you though," Harry chuckled.

Harry turned and left the kitchen and walked down the hall. There were pictures of his parents, their friends and even himself. He blinked when he saw his first school picture. 'Dumbledore,' he thought.

"Mom! Dad! Come here!" Harry yelled out. He waited a moment and smiled at his parents when they walked over to him, "Look. I think Dumbledore got some of my school pictures," he pointed.

Lily and James grinned at his photo. They wandered down the hall to find pictures of Harry from his muggle school, then pictures of Harry at Hogwarts. They met Sirius standing near the end of the hall staring at a picture. It was from Christmas the previous year. Harry, Sirius and Remus were standing before the Christmas tree laughing and joking.

"That was last year, before…One of the best Christmas's I've ever had," Sirius said.

Harry meanwhile had headed up the stairs and was looking through the bedrooms. After his parents had left he had found the library. It wasn't as large as Hogwarts, but it held all his parents old school books and other books on random subjects. Then he'd wandered up the stairs to see the bedrooms. The first door he opened made him pause. It was his room. It still had the crib and rocking chair in it. He frowned at the memories, and mentally cursed the dementors for bringing them up. He waved his hand and transfigured the crib into a four-poster bed. He transfigured the rocking chair into an over-stuffed chair, like the one's in Dumbledore's office. He nodded and knew he'd have to add things in awhile, but first he wanted to finish exploring. He left his room and walked across the hall to the next bedroom. It looked like it was his parents room. It had a king size bed, two dressers, a walk in closet and a private bathroom. 'Wonder if I could talk them into giving me my own bathroom,' he thought. He found the bathroom next. It had a shower, a large tub and the other necessities. He found Remus in his room.

"Hello Harry, enjoying yourself?" Remus asked.

Remus's room was tidy. It had a small bookshelf with Defense Against The Dark Arts books and a few other's the werewolf enjoyed. He had a regular four poster bed, a desk with a chair and various plants.

"Yes I am actually. I'm guessing the last room is Sirius's?" answered Harry.

Remus chuckled, "Yes it is. I wouldn't go into it before he does though. It's probably a mess. You may get lost."

Harry grinned at Remus and nodded. He went back to his room and looked around. He summoned his trunk, Wandlessly, and began to unpack. He transfigured things into what he needed. A desk, a dresser and a small book shelf. Harry smiled at his room and waved his hand changing the blues to whites and reds. He grinned and pulled out the Marauders Map and headed back downstairs to the living room.

"Hey! Dad, Sirius, Remus! I need your help with something!" he yelled. He took out his wand and tapped the map, "I solemnly swear I'm up to no good," he looked up and grinned as his family entered the room, "We need to add something to the map."

James blinked at Harry, "But we're not missing anything?"

Harry nodded, "That's because until my second year, no one knew where it was, but we need to add The Chamber Of Secrets."

The marauders and Lily stared at him, "Lily was the first to speak, Alright, young man, I think we need to learn about your school life. Start from first year, if you will."

They all sat down, and Harry started, "First year was interesting. I didn't find out I was a wizard till I was eleven. Up until then I was lied to about how you had died. I was told you'd died in a car crash and they I'd gotten my scar from going through the windshield," his parents looked annoyed at this. Harry continued, "Did you know the sorting hat almost put me in Slytherin?" they all looked shocked, causing Harry to grin, "I'd met Draco Malfoy and he was bragging about how he was pureblooded and that his entire family went to Slytherin. Ron was my first friend, so when Malfoy insulted him, I really didn't want to be near him," Harry chuckled, "I sat on the stool for like 15 minutes before I finally convinced the hat to put me anywhere but Slytherin. Ron and I weren't friends with Hermione till we saved her from a mountain troll. We-"

"Wait. A mountain troll? In first year?!" Lily looked like she was about to ground Harry.

"Erm…Yeah. Professor Quirrell announced that there was a troll in the dungeon during the Halloween feast, and when we were heading back to the dormitories I grabbed Ron and reminded him that Hermione didn't know. We then-"

James interrupted this time, "Why didn't she know?"

"Ron had insulted her earlier, and she'd spent the rest of the day crying in the bathroom," said Harry, getting annoyed, "Can I finish now?"

"Sorry Harry, but we are going to ask questions," said Remus with a small smile.

Harry sighed, "Anyway, we went to help Hermione and she took the blame for everything. She said she'd read all about them and thought she could handle it. After that nothing interesting happened, till we had to smuggle Norbert out of Hogwarts," Harry glared at Sirius as he opened his mouth to interrupt, "Norbert was a baby dragon that Hagrid hatched. We contacted Charlie, Ron's brother, and he sent some of his friends to get him. Malfoy saw us though, well, he heard us anyway, and ratted us out. So we were caught and got detention. There was an injured unicorn in the forest, so we had to go with Hagrid and find her," he blinked as his family slowly started loosing all the color in their faces, "I met Voldemort as he was feeding on the unicorn," they went white as ghosts, "He might have killed me if Firenze hadn't helped me out," Harry raised his hand to stop the interruptions, "He was a centaur. Anyway, Hermione, Ron and I found out that someone was trying to get the Philosopher's Stone, which was hidden in the castle. So, we had to get by Fluffy, Hagrid's three headed dog, then there was Devil's Snare and we had to catch the key so we could unlock a door. There was a giant chess set, which Ron beat. He sacrificed himself for it too, best bloody game I'd ever seen."

"Harry! Language!" Lily snapped.

"Sorry, Mom. After there was a troll, but it had been taken care of already, then, potions, and a logic riddle. I probably would've poisoned myself if Hermione hadn't helped. I sent Hermione back to contact Dumbledore and to help Ron, and I went forward. Now, I thought Snape was after the stone," the Marauders snickered, "Imagine my surprise when poor, stuttering Professor Quirrell was standing in front of the Mirror Of Erised," everyone blinked, "It turned out he was possessed by Voldemort. He used me to get the stone, which was really interesting, Dumbledore set it up, you had to want the stone, but not use it. So, I got it. When I tried to leave he attacked me, but whenever I touched him, it burned him. That was because of you mom," Harry grinned at her dumbfounded expression, "When you died, you sacrificed yourself for me, so, you left a shield in my skin. Anyway, as I passed out Dumbledore arrived and saved me. I woke up a week or so later in the hospital wing. When I left it was the day of the leaving feast, Gryffindor had lost with 312 points," Remus blinked and was about to say something, but Harry rushed on, "Slytherin had 472 points, and won. Well, they would've won, but Dumbledore had more points to hand out. Ron and Hermione got 50 points each, I got 60 and we were tied with Slytherin. Then, Dumbledore gave Neville 10 points for standing up to us," Harry grinned, "I got my photo album of you all before getting on the train. That was my first year."

James sat there and stared at Harry. He turned and looked at the two men he considered brothers and spoke, "Well. I guess that means my son has had better adventures then we did."

Harry grinned then, "That was only my first year, Dad."

"There's more?!" cried out James, "You didn't even pull pranks and you got into more adventures in your first year then I did in my first 3 years!"

Lily looked at Harry, "Do the years get anymore dangerous?"

"Uhm…Well. Yes." Harry answered.

Sirius interrupted before Lily could lecture Harry, "Alright, tell us about second year."

"Lockhart." Was the first thing Harry said. Remus ginned know what he was about to say, "was the defense teacher in my second year."

"That…MORON?!" cried out Lily.

James burst out laughing, along with Sirius. It took a few moments before James could speak again, "You're kidding, right?" When Harry shook his head, Sirius and James looked at each other in horror, "But he can't even cast a proper stunning spell!"

Sirius then added, "And…and…he's just…ugh!"

Harry had started to laugh, "I should start a bit earlier then that really. On my birthday I was visited by Dobby-"

"Our house elf?" asked Lily.

Harry nodded, "He tried to stop me from going to Hogwarts. After casting a spell and almost getting me expelled, the twins had to save me from the Dursley's," everyone looked angry, "They had locked me in my room with bars on the window. Ron's dad had a flying car, they used it to bust me out. They got lectured by Mrs. Weasley the next morning, then we went to Diagon Alley. My first time using the floo wasn't the greatest. I ended up in Knockturn Alley," Harry's parents looked worried, "which was terrifying. Hagrid found me and took me to Diagon Alley, where I met up with Hermione and the Weasley's. When we went to Flourish and Blott's, where I was pulled to the front for my picture to be taken. Lockhart announced he was going to be teaching as he handed me his entire collection of books. I gave them to Ginny. Anyway, during the school year, things got weird. The first thing that happened, was Ron and I couldn't get to the platform. We had to take Mr. Weasley's car and fly there. Ron got a howler for that. Then people were getting petrified by something. The first victim was Flich's cat, Mrs. Norris. There was a message about the Chamber Of Secret's being open. During the dueling club, which was founded after Colin Creevey was attacked, the school found out I was a parseltongue. Malfoy had conjured a snake, and I told it to leave a student alone. After that everyone thought I was the heir of Slytherin. Ron, Hermione and I were determined to find out who the heir was. We thought it was Malfoy," Harry blushed a little here, "We stole ingredient's from Snape's store room and brewed Polyjuice Potion. We brewed it in Moaning Myrtle's bathroom."

"We should've tried that," interrupted Sirius.

Harry glared at him, "We found out that he wasn't the heir, and that the Chamber had been opened 50 years earlier. Oh! There was a Quidditch game, where I broke my wrist before I could catch the snitch. There was a rogue bludger that kept attacking me. Lockhart removed all the bones in my arm, so I needed to spend the night in the hospital wing, that's how I found out about Colin. We found this diary, and it had a name on it, Tom Marvalo Riddle," everyone paled now, and Harry smiled grimly, "It answered my question's and told us that Hagrid had set the monster loose last time. Oh! Hermione had been petrified by this time. So Ron and I were left to figure out the mystery by ourselves. We went to talk to Hagrid, but the Minister was came to take him to Azkaban. Then-"

"HAGRID WENT TO AZKABAN?!" Sirius looked terrifying, "HOW COULD ANYONE DO THAT TO HIM?!"

James and Remus both placed their hands on his shoulders to calm him down. Lily was near tears.

Harry looked grim, "We thought the same," he sighed, "Dumbledore was removed from the school after that. Hagrid told us to follow the spiders. So, Ron and I followed the spiders into the forest, where we were almost eaten by acromantula. We were saved by Mr. Weasley's car, though. It had stayed in the forest and went wild or something. A few days later, we went to visit Hermione and I noticed she had paper in her hand. It took me 5 minutes to get it out of her grip, but it gave me information I needed. During the year I kept hearing voices, and I thought I was loosing my mind. On the paper I'd pulled from Hermione's hand was the answer to that and many other questions. I was hearing a basilisk, because I'm a parseltongue. Hermione had written pipes at the bottom of the paper, which answered how the basilisk had gotten around the school. Ron and I figured out that everyone was petrified instead of dead, because they never really looked into it's eyes. Mrs. Norris saw it's reflection in water, Colin saw it through his camera, Justin saw it through Nearly-Headless Nick, and he was already dead. Hermione was found with a mirror, so, obviously, she was looking around corners with it just to be safe. It took me a few hours to figure out where the entrance was. We went to tell the teachers, but we found out Ginny had been taken down there. The teachers left Lockhart in charge of saving her," he was interrupted by snorts from everyone, "So, Ron and I went to tell him everything we knew, but he was packing. We disarmed him before he could remove our memories and took him to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. There was a tap with snakes on it, and I hissed at it to open. It did! We made Lockhart go down first, just to be safe. When we got down there, Lockhart caused a small cave in by trying to obliviate us with Ron's broken wand. It backfired and he obliviated himself though. We were separated by the fallen rocks, so I told Ron I was going ahead to find Ginny, and he told me he was going to move some of the rocks so we could get through. I went on ahead, and came to a door with snakes on it. They looked oddly alive, so I hissed at them to open. When I entered the chamber, I saw Ginny laying there, unmoving. I ran over to her and tried to wake her up. She was cold as ice and wouldn't move. That's when I saw Tom," again everyone went pale, "He told me about the diary holding his memory for 50 years, how he was Voldemort and he said Ginny and I were not leaving the chamber alive. I told him off when he was bragging about being the greatest wizard alive, and told him that he was still afraid of Dumbledore. Fawkes showed up then with the sorting hat, and Riddle laughed. He called the basilisk and I ran, trying to get out. Fawkes attacked it and gauged it's eyes out, but it could still smell me. I grabbed the hat and begged it to help me, and it did. It dropped Gryffindor's Sword on my head, nearly knocking me out. When the basilisk lunged at me, I impaled it on the sword, but one of it's fangs had sunk into my arm," Lily looked ready to faint by now, James, Sirius and Remus were staring at Harry in horror. Harry just went on with the story, "I stumbled back to Ginny and Riddle laughed at me, taunting me about how I was going to die. Fawkes cried on my arm, healing it instantly. Riddle was furious and tried chasing Fawkes away. Fawkes flew off and got the diary and dropped it in front of me. I knew what to do, though to this day I had no idea how I knew. I took the tooth and stabbed the diary. Ink spilled all over the place and I destroyed the memory. Ginny and I went back to Ron, then Fawkes carried us up the pipe. Later on in McGonagall's office, I found out Dobby was owned by Lucius Malfoy. He hinted that Malfoy Senior was the cause of all the problem," Harry suddenly grinned, "I went and gave the book back to him, and he handed it to Dobby, not knowing about the sock I put it in, therefore freeing Dobby. When Malfoy tried to attack me, Dobby used his own magic to send him flying back. Exams were cancelled and Gryffindor won the house cup. Dumbledore gave Ron and I 200 points each for what we did. We even got Special Awards."

James stared at Harry, "You almost died, and you got 200 points and an award?"

"Err…yeah," answered Harry.

Lily suddenly hugged Harry as tight as she could. She let go of him and looked him in the eye, "You're very brave, but if you do anything like that while I'm around you'll be grounded for years, got it?"

Harry chuckled, "Yes, Mom. I'll try not to."

"So, tell us about 3rd year!" said James.

At this Sirius, Remus and Harry smirked. Harry was the first to speak, "Well. There was an insane murderer after me in third year. Only year with no Voldemort."

"Hey! I am not a murderer!" exclaimed Sirius.

Remus snickered, "At least he didn't argue the insane part."

Harry suddenly chuckled, "Sirius, remember when I first saw you?"

"Yep. I scared the crap out of you, causing you to fall over and summon the Knight Bus. I have a question though, why were you dragging your trunk down the street to begin with?"

Harry burst out laughing and didn't stop for a few minutes. He finally did and spoke, "Aunt Marge was visiting, and had been bad mouthing Mom and Dad. I got mad and blew her up," everyone looked horrified, causing Harry to laugh again, "No no! Not like that! Like a balloon. She floated to the ceiling and I grabbed my things and ran out of the house."

James and Sirius were laughing now, while Remus and Lily looked annoyed. Remus spoke then, "You could've been expelled for that Harry! What were you thinking?!"

"I wasn't. I was just annoyed. They wouldn't have expelled me anyway. First, it was an accident and second, everyone thought Sirius was after me," replied Harry.

Sirius nodded, "He has a point, Moony."

"Oh! I got the Map in third year!" Harry grinned, "The Twins gave it to me, because I didn't have permission to go to Hogsmeade. I was able to sneak down into the village with it."

"Don't forget that the first visit, when you couldn't go, we talked," said Remus.

Harry smiled at him, "That's right. You agreed to teach me the Patronus Charm, because the dementors effected me too badly."

"Sorry about that, kid," said Sirius looking slightly guilty.

"What for? It's not your fault that the Ministry is incompetent and sends dementors to guard students," Harry said.

Sirius grinned and wrapped an arm around Harry's shoulder, "Ahh, well, when did you first meet Remy anyway?"

"On the train. He was in the compartment we sat in. We think he was asleep," Harry said.

Remus grinned, "No I wasn't. I was going to introduce myself when I heard Hermione say your name, I decided to fake sleeping then."

Harry nodded then, "The first thing I ever heard him say was, 'Leave, we're not hiding Sirius Black here.' That was about three seconds before I passed out anyway. When I woke up, I was handed chocolate and told to eat it. Then Remus left to talk to the driver."

Remus nodded, "I wanted to know why the dementors were allowed on the train. Never did get an answer."

"There was a Quidditch match where the dementors swamped the field and I fell. The Whomping Willow destroyed my broom," Harry frowned, "Dumbledore saved me though, and got rid of the dementors."

Sirius winced, "I was there, as Padfoot. It was horrible, but I bought him a Firebolt. Bloody pain in the ass to buy a Firebolt when your on the run. I sent in some money as an owl order, good thing we made an account in the Marauders names, or I would've never been able to get it for him."

Harry suddenly laughed, "There was one night when I woke up to Ron screaming like a girl. Sirius had gotten into the tower and slashed open Ron's curtains trying to get to Wormtail, at the time we all thought he was trying to kill Ron or something. We couldn't find him or anything, and at the time, we had no idea how he'd gotten away so fast."

Sirius grinned, "We learned how to get out of the tower as fast as possible whenever we pranked Moony. Mind you, it didn't help us out one bit. He could always find us."

Harry started talking again, "You know, the first time I heard that Sirius was my godfather, I'd been eavesdropping on the Minister's conversation with some of the professors. I hated him at the time," Harry look apologetic, "I had heard what everyone but me seemed to know. He'd betrayed Mom and Dad, he killed Pettigrew and 13 muggles. It was horrible. I would've at least tried to kill him if Remus hadn't stopped me."

"Eh…Yeah. Then again, dragging Ron to the Shrieking Shack probably wasn't the best way to get you to listen to me," said Sirius, "Mind you, James, your son has a mixture of you and Lily's temper."

"Lily and your," corrected Remus.

Harry grinned, "Anyway, we found out the truth about Scabbers and were heading off to turn him in, Sirius and I were already making plans on me living with him, but, we ran into a problem. It was a full moon and Remus forgot to take his potion. So Sirius had to transform and head him off into the forest, Wormtail transformed and ran off, and I headed after Remus and Sirius to make sure Sirius was ok. Sirius and I almost received the kiss. I thought I saw Dad before I passed out. When I woke up later, I found out they were going to give Sirius the kiss and just about died right there."

Sirius blinked, "Why?"

Harry looked at him like he was dumbest person on earth, "You and Professor Lupin were the only connections I had to my parents, why would I want to lose one of them?!"

Sirius nodded and Remus smiled, "You know, Padfoot, you're getting old. Especially if you hadn't figured that out yourself." Sirius responded by sticking his tongue out.

"We saved him though, him and Buckbeak. Hermione had a time-turner so she could take all her classes that year, and we went back and saved them," Harry grinned, "We both had to yell at him to get him to leave. Then later, we completely baffled the Minister and Snape."

Harry would've gone on but he yawned just then. Lily immediately jumped at this, "Harry, get ready for bed."

"But Mom! I still have another two years to tell you about!" complained Harry.

"No! Now, get," Lily snapped.

Harry got up and went to his room to get ready for bed. He changed and headed back downstairs, where he was handed a sandwich and a bottle of butterbeer, "Eat up, cub," said Remus, "We forgot to stop for dinner."

Everyone ate, then chased Harry to bed. Lily tucked him in and kissed his forehead, "Night, hunny."

"Night, Mom. Night, Dad. Night, Sirius. Night, Remus," said Harry as his eyes drooped shut.

The Marauders and Lily smiled at Harry before heading off to their own beds. Tomorrow was going to be a long day.

Note: Wow! Over 4,000 words for this chapter. This is my longest yet! I think I could've done better, but my beta' readers are missing and It's 6am. I've not been to bed yet or anything. I might post tomorrow, or I might not. It's my mother's birthday, It's be terribly rude of me to ignore her in favor of using the computer, don't you think? As Always, Thank you for the reviews!
