`

Summary- Harry Potter's 6th year full of drama, mysteries, angst, and romance. Harry promises never to forget the people he's lost, the year goes on and more people are dying each day. Harry is trying to master his Occulmency along with NEWT classes, some interesting new classes, quidditch training, a new DADA teacher, DA still in progress, and the threat of the Prophecy grows closer each day. I hope you like it.

So Remus began, "Well your parents first met on the train to Hogwarts. James, Sirius, and Peter had met already at Diagon Alley, I met up with them on the train and they immediately took me in." Remus said smiling

`

"We were on the train for a while when your dad and Sirius pulled out huge prank necessities." Remus paused, smiling, "Peter and I had never seen so many prank ideas just waiting to go off, after that it seemed that James and Sirius were glued together, they played a game where they had to name both their favorite colors, their favorite place, and various other things, but they had matched for everything that's probably why I remember that." Remus mused.

`

"Any way your mum was sitting in a compartment full of some other first year girls, so what was the golden opportunity for us to pull off our first prank than on a room full of girls?" Remus asked grinning, "so we got everything we needed together, and decided to pull off the ultimate prank, letting spiders, mice, and any other foul thing we could think of into the compartment." Remus said his grin turning into a grimace.

`

"What?" Harry eagerly questioned.

`

"Well you see your mum was scared to death of rats" Remus said "and when we let them out into the compartment shrieks filled the whole train, and the girls were out of the compartment faster than we imagined." Remus went on, "and before we knew it we had been caught." Remus said once again grinning.

`

"You should have seen Sirius and James, their first prank, they were absolutely giddy nothing could damper their moods, not when your mum threatened their life, or even when we came off the train and into school and they both got their first detentions each." Remus said

`

"The first week was bliss, and we were probably off every other night out of bounds in James' invisibility cloak planning pranks, doing pranks, I tried not to go along with everyone because of what Dumbledore had done for me." Remus said smiling sadly, "I usually did my homework and they would come back in three in the morning begging to copy" Remus said eyes glazed over remembering scenes of his past.

`

"Well, your mum was pranked yet again, and she swore it would be the last time, was she right" Remus said laughing.

`

"What happened?" Harry asked again.

`

"Well one night when we were all out, she went in our dorms and pranked everything insight, needless to say that when, we, the prank masters, were pranked the whole school quickly found out, and she became some what of a school hero." Remus said smiling.

`

"She had us decked out in dots that lasted weeks, hair dyed different colors, toenails and fingernails painted, makeup with a sticking charm, so it wouldn't come off for weeks." Remus added laughing.

`

"We looked like a lot of Cross Dressers" Remus reminisced. "Sirius and James were furious, their pride was probably hit the most, but I suspect that's when James had first fallen for your mum, he probably didn't even know but when she out-pranked himself it was set." Remus said beginning to laugh again.

`

"All through the years he tried to get Lily and her friends back, but it never worked, Lily was probably paranoid by the time she was in her second year, making sure nothing was booby trapped, and if her food had any hexes hidden." Remus added. "But by fifth year James made us not try and prank her anymore and repeatedly tried to ask her on a date" Remus said frowning, "which was probably a bit stupid, for every time he asked her it was if he was teasing her, not really a good idea" Remus added.

`

"Then how'd they get together?" Harry asked curiously.

`

"Well over the summer of sixth year Sirius went to stay with James after running away from his house, and James' family was gradually being killed off, it was horrible to think about it, but it was true." Remus said sadly.

`

"James was crushed, they were all killed by Voldemort, gradually and slowly making the pain unbearable till it was just him, his mum, and his dad." Remus said sadly. "The summer before James went to school, he tried to make his parents go into hiding, but no, they wouldn't hide from anyone who threatened them they'd meet them head on, the lot of Gryffindor's they were, the whole family" Remus explained.

`

"When we got back to school Lily wasn't there for the first week, James of course noticed and asked Dumbledore why" Remus said gravely.

`

"Lily's parents had had a family reunion, and were all killed." Remus said sadly.

`

"Why wasn't my mum?" Harry asked horrified.

`

"She was running late, she had a job over the summer and couldn't get off, and her being a muggle-born, she had a car so she could drive herself. When she arrived there was a whole group of Aurors everywhere with their wands out and her sister standing there white faced." Remus said grimly.

`

"Right when she saw Lily, she began screeching at her that it was all her fault, and that if she had never become a witch that their parents wouldn't have been killed, and how they were now without a family because of the freak." Remus said sadly, "Lily was crushed, for some reason she had believed it." Remus added.

`

"But she went back to school determined to make a difference in the wizarding world, help somehow." Remus explained.

`

"James wasn't pulling as much pranks as the other years, and was, I guess, to put it, plainly not himself." Remus said, "He was wadded down with grief for his family, and scared to shit that when he woke up every morning that he'd get a letter saying that his mum and dad were killed." Remus said sadly. "Sirius was just as sad, a big comfort for James, because Sirius was over the Potter's house anytime that he could, and having them die would have been more upsetting then if his own family were to be killed." Remus said

`

"Well, James being so depressed didn't even notice that Lily had begun to talk to him and walk with him, blind git" Remus said smiling sadly. "His head had deflated but for entirely the wrong reasons." Remus said sadly.

`

"During Christmas time James wanted to go home to see his parents desperately, they were a really close knit family, but his mum and dad refused to let him come home, for he would only be safe in Hogwarts." Remus said "And on the first day school was back in session once again, an owl flew down to James from the ministry." Remus said softly.

`

"He didn't even open it up, just threw it on the floor and took off out of the hall." Remus said sadly. "Sirius wanted to go follow him, for right when the owl came, two people jumped up." Remus explained.

`

"Your mum and Sirius. Both of them wanted to go to James to comfort them, and as they argued it finally came out that Lily loved James, and he wasn't even there to hear it, but the whole school did." Remus said.

`

"No, one moved or said anything because it was the time they all knew what James was dreading, why else would Hogwarts Head boy run out of the hall, after being depressed for ages." Remus said

`

"Sirius let Lily go to him, she ran out of the hall right to where he was, she knew the exact spot that he would be in." Remus said smiling. "I don't really know what happened then, but Lily gradually helped James return to himself, helping him heal from his losses and he helped her get through hers, he probably didn't even realize he was." Remus said smiling.

`

"They started dating soon after January, I'd never seen James so happy, he went from severely depressed, to almost being himself." Remus said smiling again.

`

"Soon after they graduated Hogwarts, they got engaged." Remus told Harry who, by Remus' standards thought he looked a bit better.

`

"James, and Sirius started training to become Aurors, I was still looking for work, Lily was getting her medical degree to become a Healer, and Peter was staying at home with his mum, when Dumbledore came to us and asked us to join the Order of Phoenix." Remus said quietly.

`

"James was 19, Sirius was 19, I was 18, Lily was 18, and Peter was 18, the youngest Order members there at the time." Remus told Harry.

`

"Then two years later Lily and James got married, their wedding was beautiful made up of all friends for each had no family left except for each other." Remus said sadly

`

"Then I'd say about three years later, they had you." Remus said smiling, "Sirius was so excited, and James was ecstatic." Remus said laughing.

`

"On July 31st you came, and James and Lily couldn't have been more happier." Remus smiled. "I was there you know, and Sirius, and Peter." Remus said

`

"When Sirius was made the godfather, he might have well wept with joy he was so happy, your mum and dad were beyond tears." Remus recalled.

`

"They made wonderful parents, worked together lovely, cared for you and dotted you. Loved you like nothing in the world," Remus said pausing, "and you were their little guy." Remus said in a high girly voice, causing Harry to have a grin snake it's way onto his face.

`

"Then Snape joined the Order, and told Dumbledore that Voldemort was after you." Remus said once again turning serious. "They went into hiding and you know everything that happened after that, Harry."

`

"But Harry you've got to remember that they fought Voldemort with love, they fought against a man who is full of hate. They only way to conquer hate is to love." Remus stated standing up and walking slowly away leaving Harry to his thoughts.
