Remus'Fiance: Here's an update. This means that I won't die right? And thank you for being my first reviewer!

Chapter 2

Lily stared at James horrified. "What did you do to him?" she snarled rounding up Remus and Sirius.

"I didn't know that you cared" Sirius said wiggling his eyebrows suggestively.

Lily glared.

"Ok, ok! Don't kill me!" Sirius yelped holding up his hands. "You see…it's kind of a funny story." Here Sirius laughed nervously. "Much too long to tell now."

"Oh we have plenty of time" Lily growled menacingly. Remus took a couple of steps back slightly intimated.

"Well you see…" Sirius took a deep breath.

"WeweremakingapotiontopranktheSlytherinsandJamesdranksomeofitbyaccidentand…we did something wrong" Sirius finished lamely.

"You mean you did something wrong" Remus muttered from behind him.

"What! Oh wait, forget it" Lily sighed looking at the boy who was 16 ten minutes ago. "Just give me the stupid potions book."

Sirius handed it over cautiously.

Lily flipped to the correct page in the book and skimmed the information. Then her eyes widened and the color began to leave her face.

"Black, did you add exactly 2 grams of beetle eyes?" Lily asked, slightly afraid of the answer.

"Well" Sirius wrinkled his brow trying to remember, "I might have gone just a little over."

"You idiot!" Lily shrieked smacking Sirius hard with the heavy book.

"Hey no need to get violent now" Remus, who had been silent until now, cautioned.

"Of course there's no need to get violent" Lily growled, trying to hit Sirius again. "If you had bothered to read the fine print like you're supposed to, you would have seen the warning to be very precise or the potion will cause the drinker to become younger!"

"But I didn't know that!" Sirius yelped while still trying to dodge the book, which by the way, was surprisingly painful.

"Um, excuse me" A five year old James Potter said tugging on the end of Lily's shirt. "My mummy said that violence is never the answer" he said in a scolding tone.

Lily looked down into those wide, innocent hazel eyes and instantly melted.

"Of course it isn't!" Lily said with a smile. Then giving into her urge she knelt down to his eye level. "You are so cute!" Lily practically squealed pinching his cheeks.

Behind her Sirius and Remus sweatdropped. One minute Lily was screaming bloody murder and then she was turning into a mushy pile of goo? Over James no less. That girl was mental.

"Anyway" Lily said regaining her composure, "we have to go to Dumbledore."

"Who's Dom-Dem-Dimblebore?" James asked, not quite used to big words yet.

"It's Dumbledore sweetie and he's the headmaster of Hogwarts" Lily said absentmindedly.

"Oh yeah." Then something clicked in the 5 year-olds head. "How come I'm not at home anyway?"

For a moment Lily, Sirius, and Remus looked panicked. Then they smoothened over their features quickly when they saw James' suspicious gaze.

"That will be explained when we get to the headmasters office" Remus said smoothly. "Now let's go."

The trio plus James hurried down the stairs checking if the coast was clear before heading out the portrait hole.

The hallways were surprisingly empty on the way to Dumbledore's office. Oh yeah…its dinnertime now Lily realized. Almost right on cue Sirius whined "hurry up! I'm starving!"

At that Remus gave him a piercing gaze which shut Sirius up. One irritated werewolf was not something that was to be messed with. James followed surprisingly quiet taking in everything as they passed by.

Finally after what seemed like forever to Lily, they reached the stone gargoyle.

"Licorice"

The gargoyle didn't budge an inch.

"Er…" Lily looked nervously at the other three. Then the random guessing of candy began.

"Lemon drops!"

"Cockroach clusters!"

"Mints!"

"Snickers!" Lily said in an act of desperation.

When Remus, Sirius, and James looked at her strangely she defended, "It's a muggle candy!"

"Ah Miss Evans, Mr. Black, Mr. Lupin" A voice came from behind.

They whirled around to see Dumbledore himself.

"What do we have here?" He asked curiously looking at James through his crescent moon spectacles.

"Well you see sir" Sirius started nervously. "There was an accident."

"Why don't we talk in my office then" Dumbledore said not at all phased by a 5-year old James.

"Almonds" he said to the gargoyle. They all watched amazed as it sprung to the side. Then the four of them followed Dumbledore up the spiral staircase into the tastefully decorated office.

Dumbledore took a seat behind his desk and motions for the others to sit in the four armchairs which had magically appeared. Lily had to lift James into the chair as he was having difficulty in his shortened state.

"Now let's hear an explanation shall we?" Dumbledore folded his hands under his chin, eyes twinkling, waiting for an answer.

Sirius and Remus looked at James nervously and started their tale. At the end Dumbledore nodded gravely. "There doesn't seem to be any immediate solution to this. All we can do is hope that the potion will wear off within a week or two."

"What should we do with James in the mean time professor?" Remus asked, watching James play with Fawkes.

Dumbledore looked at the 5 year-old thoughtfully. "If you don't mind Miss Evans, I would like you to take care of him until he returns to normal."

Shocked looks met his statement. "B-but professor, why me? Why not Black and Remus?" Lily stuttered.

Dumbledore's blue eyes twinkled amused. "With all due respect I don't think that that's the best course of action. I'm sure you understand."

Lily could do nothing but nod dumbly.

"Hey mister." Everyone turned to look at James who looked vaguely annoyed. "You never explained how I got to Hogwarts."

"Ah yes. I had almost forgotten" Dumbledore said with a smile. "Your parents decided that it would be a treat for you to stay at Hogwarts for a week or two."

James wasn't convinced but he had no reason not to trust the headmaster so he nodded hesitantly.

Dumbledore clasped his hands together. "Now it seems that we're done here."

"Wait professor. Should Potter sleep in my dorm or in the boys dorm?"

"Well I see no problem with Mr. Potter staying in your dorm Miss Evans. It will certainly make your job easier."

Lily nodded, still not looking quite sure that this arrangement would work out. Then she, Remus, and Sirius got up to leave.

"James come on!"

James pouted. "But I wanna play with him!" he cried pointing to the Phoenix.

"You can play another day." Likely said tugging on the little boy's hand. "Now stop torturing the poor thing and lets go." Seeing his forlorn look she added "And I'll show you where you're sleeping and introduce you to my friends."

James' face immediately lit up. "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go!" He cried pulling Lily down the staircase. Sirius and Remus soon followed.

Albus Dumbledore watched them leave, the twinkle in his eyes intensifying. "This will certainly be most interesting."

A/N: Well here's another chapter for ya! I know that it's rather boring, but it's necessary to clear some things up. The next chapter will be much more interesting! About the updating schedule, it won't be very regular. They will be more frequent now that it's summer but it will slow down in September. Well, have a great 4th of July!
