As usual, this is just an apology for making you wait for an update! But you guys would rather a good chapter that's slightly (ok very) late then a crappy one, right? Yet again, I have to thank you all for your amazing reviews, you guys are fantastic, I love you all, even if I don't have the time to recognize it as much as I should. So, I've decided that for this chapter, everyone who sends a review, asking a Sirius (lol) question about this story, and not just a 'whats gonna happen next?' will all get answered! Only coz I love you guys :)…

Over to the story!

'R-R-R-Rose…' Harry whined the next morning. 'I'm bored!'

Lily rolled her eyes at her son, but grinned.

'Ricky…' Harry moaned again. 'Entertain me!'

'J- Harry, I don't want to hear you whinge please.' Remus said, still thinking Harry was James pretending to be Harry. 'I couldn't sleep all last night. I won't be able to sleep well until after Thursday.'

Harry nodded. Full Moon was on Thursday night.

'Prongsie mate…' Sirius whispered, grinning at his godson, also thinking it was still James, 'What do you say we err, disappear when he does? You up for it? Or has Flower got you whipped already?'

'I heard that.' Lily said mock angrily.

It was the next morning; Harry was having breakfast with Ron, Hermione, Sirius, Remus and Lily. He was still pretending to be his father.

'I don't think it's a good idea, sorry Ricky.' Hermione said from over her paper, munching on her toast.

'Oh, why not?' Harry asked, leaning back and stretching back. He ruffled his hair. 'No-one is going to notice.' He took a gulpful of pumpkin juice.

'Act more like Harry.' Ron said quietly as he read over Hermione's shoulder. Lily choked on her toast and Harry coughed up half of his drink.

'Are you two ok?' Hermione asked.

'Absolutely spiffing,' Harry grinned at Hermione. Lily rolled her eyes.

'Someone has said that before…' Ron said blankly.

'Here comes Susan.' Sirius said, shuffling over to make room for the Hufflepuff.

'Hey Susan, how are you?' Remus asked her as she sat down between Sirius and Hermione.

'Oh, fine, and you guys?'

'Very good, very good.' Sirius said.

'I'm ok.' Harry said, grinning. 'We have Potions, yet again this morning, so not too great.'

Susan did a double take, staring at Harry/James/Harry. Harry quickly put a finger to his lips motioning to be quiet.

'Oh yeah.' Sirius said.

'Merlin,' Harry said loudly. 'I forgot my Potions book. I'll meet the rest of you at Potions, Snape will kill us if we are late.'

'I forgot mine too!' Lily said, suddenly realizing.

'Come with Susan,' Harry said.

'Yeah, ok,' Susan replied quickly.

'Seeya's later.' Sirius said, grabbing some more bacon. 'Their just checking out the daughter-in law…' He muttered in an undertone. Ron snorted.

'Love to see that conversation.' He laughed.

'Soooo…' Susan said, looking around once they had reached the abandoned Entrance Hall. 'Does she know?' Susan looked at Lily quickly.

Lily said too. 'So she knows, does she?'

'She knows what I know?' Susan asked Harry, nodding towards his mother.

'She knows the same thing as me?' Lily asked.

'Yeah, both of you know.' Harry said, grinning a bit at the two.

'Who else knows?' Susan asked.

'Just me.' A muffled voice said.

James ripped off his invisibility cloak. Harry and Susan jumped.

'Put it back on, Honey.' Lily said, not even shocked. 'Anyone could just walk out.

'Naah.' James said, tucking his cloak into his pocket.

'Are you like stalking us or something?' Harry asked his father. James nodded happily.

'Well…' Susan said after an awkward silence between the four. 'How is everyone?'

'Fine.' Lily said. Harry shrugged his shoulders.

'A bit bored.' James said, grinning. 'It's so good to get some fresh air.'

'I was locked up for about three days!' Harry exclaimed, turning his attention to his father. 'You've barely been twelve hours and you're complaining!'

'Yeah, but you chose to.' James pointed out. 'Lock yourself up I mean.'

Harry opened then shut his mouth.

'If you go in there, do you think that they will notice a difference?' Susan asked James, nodding towards the Hall.

'You can go to Potions for me!' Harry said in jubilation, trying to grab his father's cloak.

'Err, no.' James said unashamedly, pulling the cloak out of Harry's grasp.

'They wouldn't notice though,' Lily said. 'They are a bit thick. Apart from Hermione.' She added as an afterthought.

'Oh good,' Harry said. 'I'll talk to you all later then.'

'No you won't.' James said, eyes flashing dangerously.

There was an awkward silence.

Harry burst out in insane laughter randomly. James, Susan and Lily all jumped and turned around to look at him.

Susan kicked him in the shins. Lily and James just stared at her as Harry stopped laughing, fell to the floor and started rubbing his leg as he shot Susan an evil glare.

'Stopped you from laughing' Susan said plainly, answering his unspoken question.

'Harry, are you alright?' James asked his son, his eyebrows raised.

'Fine.' Harry said, rubbing tears of laughter out of his eyes. 'I just realised how weird this is.' He looked at Lily and James. 'You're my parents!'

He burst out in laughter again.

James suppressed a laugh. 'It is funny.' He said. 'I'm your father, and you're my age.' He laughed. 'I've been getting some since I was less than one!'

Lily slapped James in the stomach as Harry shuddered. Despite the age gap, or lack of one, it still wasn't good listening to your father about something like that.

'That's not funny.' Harry said seriously to his father.

'Aww, liddle 'Awwy's all embawissed!' James mocked him, grinning.

'Don't do that either.' Harry said, horribly reminded of Bellatrix Lestrange.

'Yeah, don't James.' Susan said seriously, having known previously about the situation.

'Guys, if we're gonna continue with this conversation, we should probably relocate it.' Lily said, tucking a stray piece of brown hair back behind her ear, glancing towards the door to the Great Hall. 'They'll be finishing soon.'

'Yeah.' Susan said. 'Good idea.'

'No point though.' Harry said, shocked, as the door opened and Remus, Sirius, Hermione and Ron walked through the door. They stared at Harry, then James, who looked like a deer caught in headlights. Or a stag caught in headlights.

'At least it was them.' Susan said as the new entrants stared at the quartet.

'Yeah,' Harry said, a bit shocked.

'Okay, who's who?' Remus asked, breaking the silence.

'Well, Remus, that's Lily and that's Susan,' Sirius began, pointing at the girls for his friend. Remus slapped the back of his head.

'I'm a Harry.' James said flashing a grin cockily.

'Harry!' Hermione squealed and pulled him into a hug, obviously not hearing the "A". 'Where have you been! You've been so irresponsible, we were all so worried-'

''Mione, I'm really Harry,' Harry said.

'Oh.' She pulled herself away from James, went red, and launched herself on the real Harry as everyone laughed. 'Harry, well, everything I just said, and NEWTs are soon, you missed some work, you're really going to have to catch up on it, I bet you're just happy you didn't miss any Quidditch-'

'Let him breathe, Hermione.' Ron said, pulling his girlfriend off his mate. 'Do you mind telling us what's going on?'

'We swapped again.' James said.

'So, after you swapped to be Harry,' Remus began.

'Don't even bother.' Lily said. 'You don't want to hear them try to explain it.'

'We are good explainers thank you very much!' Harry said haughtily.

'She just doesn't want to admit we're better than her.' James said.

'I have a feeling messy hair and being good explainers are closely linked.' Harry said.

'Because we both have messy hair,' James said, quite obviously.

'I think you will find stupidly stating the obvious goes with that too.' Ron said, snorting at his own joke, which only Hermione and Susan got.

'Yeah, Harry has a habit of doing that too.' Susan said, smirking.

Harry rolled his eyes. 'You guys are so mean to me.'

'Do you realise that the rest of the school is about to come out here?' Remus butted in suddenly.

'I really think we should move then.' Lily said.

'Ooh, let's skip Potions!' Sirius exclaimed.

'I really have no problems with that.' Harry said earnestly. 'Let's go to… The Room of Requirement.'

'Ron, we are not skipping Potions.' Hermione said quickly as the group made to leave the Entrance Hall as James threw on his Invisibility Cloak quickly as the doors opened and the rest of the school started going to their classes. Hermione gave him a very meaningful look, nodding towards Harry and his parents and Sirius and Remus. Ron understood. Hermione then moved onto Susan.

'Don't you have an essay due Susan?' She asked. Susan looked confused for a second before understanding.

'Yes,' she said. 'I forgot. It means I have to go to class then. Bye!' She walked off quickly.

'Well, I'm skipping it.' Harry said as he watched Susan leave to her Charms class or whatever she had.

'Me too.' Sirius said. 'Snivellius is not exactly my favorite person now… or ever.'

James muffled a laugh under his cloak.

'Lets go then.' Remus said, and the group, James hiding amongst them, pushed their way out of the now packed hall and made their way to the Room of Requirement.

'There better be food in here,' James grumbled, pulling his cloak off as they got closer, 'I'm starving.'

'That's bloody Ron's line.' Harry muttered.

'He eats more than me,' Sirius said. 'And that is saying a lot.'

'Yeah, but Ron's really tall.' Lily said. 'All your food just goes to your head.'

'Which is nowhere near as big as James'.' Sirius said in an undertone which no-one but Remus heard. He snorted.

Harry pushed the door open. A large room with a roaring fire, a few comfortable looking brown couch seats and a large brown shag rug lay on the timber floor. On the small coffee table in the middle of the couch area was a pitcher of pumpkin juice, several goblets, some sandwiches and a pack of exploding snap.

Harry walked over to the table, and on closer examination, saw that the cards were infact exploding Snape cards. A younger version of the surly Potions Master appeared on the back of the cards.

'This is mad as!' Harry said, pulling out the ten of hearts randomly before throwing the pack to Sirius. He began flicking Snape's face. 'Great fun.'

'We made them,' James said proudly. 'Just a pack of cards with pictures of Snape.'

'Wanna play?' Lily asked, taking the cards from Sirius and looking at them with raised eyebrows.

'Yeah, ok,' Remus said, and begun shuffling after taking the card Harry had off him. James and Sirius began stuffing their faces.

'James, have you had one of those turkey one's yet?' Sirius asked his best friend, 'Really nice.'

'Yeah, and the lettuce one's are nice,' James said.

'Only you could say that deer boy,' Sirius said scornfully. 'You're a vego. Personally, I happen to be very carnivorous.'

'But you would eat anything anyway,' James said, searching for another lettuce sandwich.

Harry smiled as he watched this exchange.

'Are we going to play?' Remus asked, also smiling at his two friends.

'But, the sandwiches!' Sirius said, a look of anxiety on his striking face as he looked from Exploding Snape to the sandwiches and back to the cards.

'The sandwiches will still be there later.' Lily said.

Remus dealt and they began playing. After three games, Harry realised that his parents, Sirius and Remus were exactly like they were when he had known them as Jason, Rose, Shannon and Ricky. After eleven games, Harry realised how close the Marauder boys actually were. After twenty-two games; one to Sirius, who had celebrated loudly, eight to Lily, five to Remus and four each to James and Harry, the bell had gone. Another four games later, all to Lily; Harry realised this was the first 'bonding' time he could remember with both his parents, while knowing it anyway. After another win to Sirius, Harry realised he didn't want them, Sirius or Remus to leave. However, all good things must come to an end. Dumbledore strolled into the room.

"He's going to take them away.' Harry thought, his stomach clenching.

'Erm, Hi Professor!' Remus said squeakily. Dumbledore ignored them as he surveyed the room. He smiled at each of them

'I've found a way to get you back.' Dumbledore said, confirming Harry's worst fears. 'All five of you, come to my office please.'

'Not without the sandwiches!' Sirius claimed unhappily, jumping towards the sandwiches, seizing the plate.
