Chapter 4
A picture of him and Malfoy as friends? That was scary. He nudged Ron and pointed at the picture. Ron stared open mouthed. Hermione saw hi staring and looked in his direction; she seemed shocked but was better at concealing then Ron because that's when Sirius said.
"Problem Ron?" asked Sirius staring at Ron open mouthed "No, no, nothing. I just… never mind." He replied regaining himself and trying to act more in character.
"Alright." Replied Sirius leading them into the kitchen.
Harry tried to hold back a gasp. There in front of him was his mother and father. They looked like every picture he had. Harry could see what people meant by him looking exactly like his father. He had the same messed hair, smile, glasses and general personality. His mother had his green emerald eyes and her glowing smile made him smile. Harry wanted to cry but knew he couldn't. He went over and gave them both hugs not caring if the normal Harry ever did this.
"Good morning to you to son." Replied his mother taking the hug with a smile and a kiss.
"Better be careful your mother might get suspicious. So what did you do?" his father asked with a strong embrace.
"Nothing, I can't give my parents a hug without everyone getting jumpy?" asked Harry taking a seat next to his father and Ron.
"Well last time you were all lovely dovey with your parents you broke your mom's priceless lamp and tried to blame your non existent cat." Replied a drawling voice from down the table.
"Good morning Malfoy." Replied Harry with a coldness to his voice that he couldn't stop.
"Morning," Malfoy responded looking up from his porridge. "What's with the ice? What did I do now?"
"Nothing. Sorry just a little tired." Responded Harry smiling at Malfoy. He seemed nice enough. Harry decided to give him a chance.
"Well if someone in this house wouldn't yell for people to wake up at this early we wouldn't be so icy." Retorted Sirius plopping down next to James and grabbing a plate of bacon.
"It's eleven o'clock." Replied James giving his best friend a sideways look.
"Yeah whatever. Pass me the sausage." Replied Sirius
"So what are you boys up to today?" asked Lily.
"Quidditch." Said James.
"Are you all finished with homework for this week?" asked Lily giving Ron, Harry and Malfoy suspicious looks.
"Nearly." Replied Malfoy finishing off his porridge.
"Well once you've all finished you can go play." She responded "Oh, Hermione I was wondering if you wanted to join me for a day out. I found this cure little bookshop in Hogsmeade and I know you would just love it," said Lily smiling at Hermione.
Hermione smiled back and said with a very gleeful "Yes."
Harry could tell this was how things usually worked around the house. Harry, his dad, Sirius, Ron and Malfoy played Quidditch and skived off homework, while Hermione and his mom went out to bookstores and talked about grades and homework. Harry had a feeling Lupin sided with whatever mood he was in. Harry smiled looking around at this gossiping family. Things couldn't have been better.
