Winter Break, 1975

"I'm sooooooo bored," Sirius moaned, dragging out each word. "There's nothing to do."

Remus looked at Sirius over the top of a copy of Beckel's Book of Brain Benders. "If you're going to just stare at the wall, you're bound to be bored."

Sirius made a face at this and blew a raspberry.

"Maybe," Peter said quietly. "Maybe we could go out and play Quidditch with James and Henry."

Sirius snorted, frowning. "Yeah, right. James'll just blow us off, again. I swear, if he's not out on a date with Lily, he's out on a date with Henry."

Peter's eyes widened in shock. "You don't mean James is gay, do you?"

"Yes, Peter," Sirius rolled his eyes. "That's exactly what I mean. Not only is he gay, he's bi. Not only is he bi, he's into bestiality. And I have a sneaking suspicion that he keeps pictures of naked transvestites under his bed."

"I had no idea, " whispered Peter.

Exasperated, Remus said, "James isn't gay, Peter. Or any of it."

"But Sirius said--"

"Sirius is just being a moron. Aren't you, Sirius?"

"Speaking of morons: A little moron and a big moron were standing on a bridge..."

Remus began sighing and shaking his head, at the same time realizing that he seemed to do a lot of that around Padfoot. "Come on, Sirius. That's ridiculous."

Ignoring Remus, Sirius continued, "The big moron fell off the bridge but the little moron didn't. Why didn't the little moron fall off the bridge?"

Frowning, Peter thought for a moment, then brightened and answered, "Because his feet were glued to the bridge!"

"Nope, try again, my little Wormtail."

At that moment, the Fat Lady's picture opened and in walked James, Lily and Henry, their faces red from the cold, but smiling and laughing. Sirius frowned again.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't the happy family."

James and Henry paled. "How did you... What do you mean?" James asked.

"Well," Sirius said, rising from his chair and walking towards them. "I just mean, the three of you have become so close these days. You seem to do everything together: eat meals, do homework, walks through the grounds. Hell, I'm surprised you haven't started taking showers as a group. I'm surprised your bodies haven't merged into one super body. That way you could be together all the time."

Sirius stopped in front of Harry, until they were a few inches apart. "So, Henry. When are you leaving?"

Harry, not understanding this sudden display of jealousy, said the first thing that came to mind, "I don't know."

Sirius nodded. "Great. Have fun. Hopefully I won't see you around. Hell, you can even have my bed. It's a whole two feet closer to James's and that way you can hop into his bed in the middle of the night and the two of you can giggle and share secrets. I'm sure you'll love it."

Sirius walked around Henry, passed Lily and then out of the Tower. He didn't come back that night, or the next. When he did come back, he slept in the Common Room.

Harry didn't take Sirius's bed.

Peter never found out why the little moron didn't fall off the bridge.

"Aren't you gonna talk to him?" Harry asked two days later at breakfast.

James looked at Harry as if Harry had just said that Queen Elizabeth was an alien from the Planet Neblon who was going to hypnotize the minds of everyone on earth using a red and yellow umbrella. "Why the hell would I do that?"

Harry shrugged his shoulders, "Because he's your best friend."

"So?" James leaned over the table then said, "If he wants to act like a baby, I'm not gonna stop him. Maybe I'll get lucky and he'll start wearing a diaper and bonnet and carry around a rattle."

"If he understood, he might--"

"Hell, no! If I can't even tell Lily, I'm definitely not gonna tell Sirius. Do you know what he would do if he knew you're from the future?"

Harry hesitantly shook his head.

"The first thing he'd do is tell everybody. Everybody. Then he'd ask for the book rights."

"I think you can trust him."

James frowned at Harry. "Oh, yeah? Why?"

Here, Harry paused. Before leaving he'd promised Dumbledore that he wouldn't tell James anything else about his future. But this was a special case. James and Sirius weren't talking to each other and it was because of him. If Harry didn't get them speaking, they might never talk to each other again. And then Sirius would never be Harry's godfather. Which would mean that Pettigrew's treachery would never be discovered. Which could lead to who-knows-what.

"Because you made him my godfather."

Laughter filled the Great Hall. For three whole minutes, James laughed. When he stopped, tears were leaking out of his eyes. "That's a good one! Oh, Harry, you almost got me there! Like I'd ever make Sirius your godfather! Oh, that was good, Harry! Next you'll tell me I'm gonna make Peter my bodygaurd!" He went off into gales of laughter again. Harry didn't have the heart to tell him that, essentially, he had made Peter his body guard. James had trusted Peter with his safety by making Peter his Secret Keeper.

"Just go talk to him!"

"No. Sirius is being an ass and I'm not going to tell him 'it's alright, I'm sorry and I'll never do it again.' It's his problem, not mine. Now, come on, hurry up with your food. I want to show you a Moke nest we found in the Forbidden Forest last year."

Harry sighed. James could be so stubborn! Thank God I never inherited that trait.

A/N2: This chapter was mostly filler btw the previous chapter and the next. Sorry, 'bout that. Some important decisions are made in the next chapter. You'll start to understand the "Harry and James in two different times at the same time" thing. I'm thinking that this is starting to come to the conclusion. But if you asked me tell you how many chapters it's gonna be, I'd just stare at you blankly. I have no idea how or when it's gonna end, so wish me luck. I hope you enjoyed this chapter (even though it was pretty worthless). See you in two weeks. Sincerely..., me.
