Outside in the Hallway

James's Point of View:

James looked at the wand pointed at his chest. His first instinct was to tell his friend to stop being an idiot, and to lower his wand. Then he thought again, and realized that might not be such a good idea. He did not want his hand blasted off, after all. So he decided to try a different approach.

"Sirius, listen to me. I am James Potter. I know this all very confusing. I, myself, just learned that many fourteen years has passed since I have seen you, Lily, Harry and Remus. I know this unbelievable, but it is truly me. Ask me anything about our Hogwarts days. I'll be able to answer them."

Sirius's Point of View:

Sirius looked at him suspiciously. Should he believe him? He could not risk believing that this was James Potter standing before him. If it turned out to be a death eater in disguise, he would feel as if he lost his best friend all over again. Of course, he not only had to worry about himself, but Harry and Remus as well. They would both be crushed, especially Harry. Harry always wanted a father, and like every other boy out there, he wanted his father to be proud of him. Sirius had to be careful. He had a godson to protect, so he decided to take James up on his offer.

Sirius looked James straight in the eye, before starting his questioning. His voice became very menacing. "Fine, you want to play this game, I'm ready." He was going to give him a trick question. This one question would surely prove that he was talking to a death eater and not James Potter himself. "So James, why did Moony become an animagus?"

James looked at Sirius momentarily with a face full of confusion. "Moony was the reason why Sirius, Peter, and I become animagi," he said to himself. The thought of Peter made James very agitated, but he had to focus on the task at hand. He again started to think to himself, "I have to figure this out. Moony is a werewolf, unless something has happened to my memory. I have to answer the question, even if I'm wrong." He took a deep breathe and with all of his courage, he answered the question.

"Sirius,-Moony was never an animagus. In fact, he is the reason why you, Peter and I became animagi." James growled Peter's name, but continued none the less. "We found out that Remus was a werewolf, and we decided to accompany him on the nights of the full moon. The last time I have seen him, he was not an animagus. But as I have heard, many years have past since then, so he could be one now." James prayed that he was right. He could not afford to be wrong, but he sincerely believed Moony was never an animagus. He became a little worried, when the color drained from Sirius's face.

Sirius's Point of View

James first looked very confused, when I asked him that question. This will prove that Albus is wrong. This person is not James, but an imposter. I can't wait to send this death eater to Azkaban! That's when James began to speak.

"Sirius,-Moony was never an animagus. In fact, he is the reason why you, Peter and I became animagi," James said with a little nervousness in his voice.

I just stood there. I could not believe what I just heard. He answered the question correctly! Could it be really him…I had to be sure, I had to ask him another question.

"You really think you're smart! Well tell me, what we did in our 5th year that we regretted after word!" Sirius asked wildly.

James looked at him for a moment. He seemed to be deep in thought, then after a few moments his hazel eyes started to sparkle.

James began to speak. "We had just taken our O.W.L.S and we decided to sit by the lake, and I was playing with a snitch when you said you were bored. Just then Snape walked by, and I started to fight with him, and flipped him in the air and his pants came down. It's something I'm not proud of. I would change it if I could." His sparkling eyes dimmed, while thinking of the horrible thing he did to Snape. Snape was his enemy, but that was crossing the line.

End Sirius's Point of View

There was complete silence. Sirius just kept looking at James, unsure of what to do or say. He did lower his wand, and James took this as a good sign, so he decided to lead the conversation.

"Sirius, it is me. I know how unbelievable it sounds, but I'm back. Fourteen years have passed, but it's me. I swear on the life of my son!"

Sirius looked at him in shock. After a few moments, he seemed to regain control of himself. "James?" he asked in disbelief.

James looked at him with a smile on his face. "Hey, Padfoot it's great to see you. It's been a long time."

Sirius laughed. James was always like that, serious one moment, funny the next. At the moment, he knew it was James. Only James would go from being so solemn to being humorous.

Sirius pushed himself inside of James's room. James followed him. He needed to sit down, and a stiff drink. It would be a long night.

To all my reviewers: I am so sorry for not updating in a while. Thanks for waiting! This is a very short chapter, but I thought I should put it up anyway.
