Disclaimer: If I owned any kinda book…it'll probably be…THAT SEXAY THING SIRIUS BLACK'S SAD BUT REBELLIOUS STORY!!!! But no I don't own HP!

Harry woke up thinking it was all a wonderful dream; he was still back at the Dursleys. Though he realized his pillow was totally dry for once, and slowly almost dreadfully he opened his eyes, to realize he 'd woken up to VERY loud snoring. Taking as long as he could he searched for his glasses and sighed in relief realizing at least he was at Hogwarts, and swung his legs off of the bed. Suddenly he heard a yelp, followed by a groan, and Harry looked down to see the sleepy outline of his father tangled in his sheet, curled up on the floor beside their beds.

For a while Harry sat still on his bed watching his father sleep, very occasionally turning and rolling and muttering out stuff like "Watch for the bludger Padfoot!!!". He smiled as he felt this warm feeling spread through him, realizing now that it was not a dream…he was going to spend a WHOLE year with his parents and their friends.

"You gonna sit there the whole day?" came Ron's voice from behind Harry.

"I uh just got up," Harry said turning around to find Ron dressed, slightly red.

"Well better hurry up," Ron said as Harry, very unwilling, got off his bed, "or we'll be late."

Last thing Harry wanted to do was leave the Marauders, but he'd promised Dombledore to put his learning before anything, and he doubted very much he'd be pleased to know that Harry was late his very first day here, seeing as the Marauders were no where near getting up.

"You think we should wake them up?" Harry asked, looking nervously as his father still deep sleep, kick a book close to his feet so hard it hit the opposite wall.

"Uh, I think that's Lupin's job," Ron said looking at a slowly stirring Remus, looking a little relieved.

Harry and Ron made their way out of the common room, Harry wishing he was still with the Marauders, but wondering if Dombledore would get angry and take him back if he wasn't working his hardest. He and Ron couldn't stop themselves from exchanged constant grins; after all they were rooming with the legendary Marauders.

They made their way to the Great Hall, when Harry saw her again his mother sitting at the table with a bunch of friends, and as Ron walked over to Hermione, he made his was towards her unconsciously. He had only realized what he'd done when he was the wide-eyed looks the girls who were sitting around her gave him, as they passed by.

"Wow! James the green eyes really works for you," said a pretty brunet girl and all the others agreed sending him flirtatious smiles.

"What's up with the scar," asked another girl looking concerned, "what happened?"

"Was it Quidditch practice?" Ask another one touching his arm lightly.

"Uh no," Harry said not aware of any of them, as he saw his mother turning to frown at the girls without looking at him, but this didn't stop him from reaching her "Lily."

At first it seemed like Lily was gonna ignore that but as though something had suddenly hit her, she stiffened up like a board and slowly turned, looking Harry straight in the eyes. He watched in fascination as her beautiful face study his, and her eyes suddenly fill up with understanding.

"You're not James," Lily said her face warming up a bit.

"No, My name is Harry Potter," Harry said as he couldn't help but to smile at her.

"Are you bro—"

"No," Harry said quickly, "distant cousins I think!"

"Wow," she said looking him up and down, "it's incredible how much you look like him…I'd have thought you were twins or something…cept his nose is a little different—" Lily stopped suddenly turning red, and Harry realized why in time to make himself look politely puzzled.

"I heard these things happen sometimes," Harry said shrugging.

"Right, well I hope it's just your looks," Lily said looking a little cold, "last thing this school needs is another self-centered bigheaded bully like James Potter."

Thinking back to what seemed like another lifetime, Harry thought of what he had seen in Snape's pensive, and quickly shook his head looking a bit horrified, this seemed to make Lily laugh though, not a cold laugh he had expected for some reason, but a warm one as gentle as a summer breeze.

"You can sit down if you want," she said beaming at him.

"Thanks," Harry said relieved, and suddenly realized his mother was sitting here all alone with what looked like a muggle book and toast.

He remembered wagely, his 4th year, when he was frustrated over how girls never seemed to be alone, always walking around with packs, and suddenly his face broke into a smile as he remembered how she'd single handedly stood up to his father. Gratefully he sat down, wondering for the first time why he had fallen for Cho who couldn't even make DA without her friends.

"So…it doesn't sound like you like my roommates too much," Harry said not able to hold back a grin, knowing that ironically she was gonna end up marring the one she hated the most.

"Hmmm...well Remus is pretty nice, though he should be more responsible as a Prefect, and Sirius IS kinda funny…" she said looking down.

"What about James," Harry asked, a little surprised at himself, though Lily kept her eyes on her toast, turning red.

"James Potter is a self-absorbed bigheaded bulling toerag, who deserves nothing less than getting a good spanking from Flitch!" Lily said trying to look serious though couldn't seem to stop a grin from spreading across her face.

"Wow, you sure hate him," Harry said returning her grin.

"Naw…I just wish he'd grow up, you know," she said looking deep into Harry's eyes, and he felt another stab of pain in his heart.

"Where I…where I come from, we grow up too fast, learn to deal with things it takes others much longer to experience…sometimes the price is too high," for some reason Harry burst this all out, and instead of looking shocked or horrified, Lily nodded with understanding.

For a second Harry felt his eyes sting, here he was sitting with his mother, and she was so…so friendly and understanding…he wagely mourned over how he lost the opportunity to be raised by her. Unbelievably though he felt so comfortable around her though they had just met, kind of like when he first met Sirius…

"You're right! I'm being totally selfish…James is James and I can't change him, I shouldn't," she said, though Harry wondered if she was talking to herself.

"No way! From what I've seen, you're anything but selfish! If James Potter really wants you, then he should learn to mature up to deserve someone so cool," Harry thoughts wandered back to the pensive once again.

"Thanks," she blushed a little, and then turned to stand up smiling at him, "listen I'll probably be up to my neck with homework tonight, but…do you wanna hang around the lake for breakfast?"

"Sure," Harry said a little too quickly, watching Lily walk away so intently that he didn't even notice Hermione staring at him.

"Harry!" she said looking at him sternly, "why did you just agree to that???"

"What?" Harry asked looking confused.

"You know that she is falling for you, right?"

"HERMIONE!" Ron said looking sick, "that's his mom you're talking about!!!"

"Yeah, but she doesn't know that," she said looking annoyed, "honestly Ron—"

"Listen, all she wants to do is talk about James with me, she is obviously head over hills with him—"

"Yeah? And have you looked in the mirror Harry lately? You look almost exactly like him and everyone says your so much like him, cept now in this time your more mature…EXACTLY what Lily is looking for!!!"

"Since when do you know what my mom is looking for," Harry could feel his temper rising, and Hermione seemed to realize this since her voice sounded a little cautions now.

"Harry, if she falls in love with you…you might never be born!"

"Ok listen Hermione, Dombledore would've seen this happening, and he didn't warn me to stay away from her, now did he?" Harry said starting to get up.

"But—" Hermione bit her lip looking worried.

"Don't tell me YOU wanna be late for class the first day," Ron said nervously trying to change the subject.

"Of course not," Hermione snapped Handing Harry and Ron the timetables she got for them.

"Urgh," Ron said looking down at it, "double potions…with SLYTHERINS!

"Hey…maybe it won't be so bad now…since Snape isn't the teacher," Harry said.

"But he'll still be in the class," Hermione said as they watched Snape and a few other Slytherin boys a head of them heading towards the dungeons.
