I still don't own Harry Potter sad frownnormal now this was typed out post-HBP, so this and following chapters my intentionally or unintentionally post spoilers--though nothing that'll ruin too much of the plot of HBP. Oh I'm sorry for any spelling errors; they are entirely type-o oriented, lol, and not my fault at all. Oh, and thanks for all your comments. I love hearing what you guys think. I trust you guys so don't be afraid to post a review with what you think I should put in the next chapters. Keep reviewing. Love yas. Oh and see if you can find the almost exact quote--hint it's from the Sorcerer's Stone.

Chapter Nine

Christmas break

"James' future son?" Remus asked.

"What are you three trying to pull now?" Lily asked closing her book.

"We're not pulling anything. Look at him." Sirius insisted.

"All I see is James with that obviously fake scar. James you're better than these cheep tricks. Why not act like it?" Lily asked him.

Harry had to think fast, this may be my only chance to learn about mum. "You have a sister named Petunia." Harry blurted out as the train came to a stop.

Lily looked at Harry confused. She opened her mouth to say something but Harry interrupted her.

"She's thin, blond, and has nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which comes in very useful as she spends so much of her time craning over garden fences, spying on the neighbors." Harry said, knowing she was trying to prove how Harry could know all of that.

She stood up and went to the door; she turned to Harry before she left. "You don't have to prove anything. Stupid me, thinking James had finally grown a backbone." With that she left to meet her parents on the other side of the platform. The four left in the cart looked at each other and left too. They went through to the other side of the platform.

"Remus!" A man called. Harry and Remus turned to see who it was. The man looked a lot like Lupin, but he didn't have as much gray hair.

"Dad!" Remus yelled back. "See you guys. Nice joke James." He ran to the woman at the man's side, she was obviously his mother, they hugged and walked away. Harry's eyes found Lily with three other people.

"How are you Petunia?" Lily asked her sister. Even now she had the same features that Harry hated from her in the future, except she seemed happier.

"Charming." She said obviously upset, her happiness must have been just as fake as her words.

"Mate!" Sirius called, distracting Harry. He turned to see a couple smiling back at him. The man, Mr. Potter, looked like James had in the mirror of Erised and the woman next to him had to be Mrs. Potter. She was thin, like Jane, but she had James' hazel eyes, and the same black hair as her husband and children brushed her shoulders.

"Hey, Mum. Hey Dad." Jane said.

"What are you suddenly, too old to hug your dear Mum, James?" The woman asked Harry.

Before Harry knew what he was doing, he had his arms wrapped around his Grandmother, hugging her tightly.

"James what's wrong? What did you do?" She asked hugging him back.

"Nothing's wrong. I just missed you two." Harry let go of her, and walked with them to the parking lot.

"So how are we getting home?" Jane asked.

"Slide-aparation?" Sirius suggested.

"Nope, we've got a car the Ministry wants us to test out." Mr. Potter explained as they reached a car.

"We're driving?" Harry asked confused.

"You're driving James." Mr. Potter handed Harry the keys.

"Why him?" Jane protested.

"He's oldest." Mrs. Potter explained.

"I don't know how to drive." Harry tried to say as his grandfather opened the driver side door and pushed Harry in.

this may be my only chance to learn about mum.
A/N: to protect the identity of a new spell in the Half-blood Prince I will start the present time off after James had used the spell. Apologies to those who know what spell I mean and are egger to see it used again. Sorry.

"That is a wicked spell." Ron beamed.

"Wicked is right. If you didn't know the counter curse Malfoy would be dead right now." Hermione scolded as they walked out of Moaning Myrtle's bathroom.

"And I wouldn't have used the counter curse so soon if you weren't such a goody-good. Man, Padfoot and Moony would have gotten a kick out of it." James said, exasperatedly.

"Lupin would have stopped you!" Hermione snapped.

"Yeah, but Sirius would have gotten a chuckle out of that." Ron smiled at Hermione.

"How is he by the way? I know Moony became a teacher and Evans dies with me but I don't know about Sirius." James said calmly, wiping the blood off of his hands with the inside of his cloak.

Ron and Hermione looked at each other. Hermione nodded her head.

"Mate, Sirius Black is dead." Ron said in his best soothing voice.

James laughed. "No, what happens to Sirius?" James repeated.

"He's dead." Ron repeated, loosing his soothing tone.

"Moony'll tell me the truth." James snapped. He went to the Defense against Dark arts Room. "RJ!" James yelled barging in. Lupin sat at the desk hunched over a paper.

He looked up when James yelled. "What is it James?" He asked. Even fifteen years after the Potter's murders, Lupin could still read James' emotions too well.

"What happened to Sirius?" James snapped.

"James, sit down."

"No! Tell me Moony. What happened to Padfoot?"

"He died almost a year ago, fighting…fighting Voldemort." Lupin said, not meeting James' eyes.

James sank to the floor shocked. He tried to speak but no words came out.

"Mate, I'm sorry." Ron said coming into the room, even though to James it sounded far away.

"Moony, what about Jane? Or my mum and dad?" James asked his voice shaky.

"Jane was killed by a death eater shortly after we formed the Order, which basically is what it sounds like, and your parents were killed at work after you graduated." Lupin said, "You'll forget about it and you'll be dead before Sirius dies. That was supposed to cheer you up."

"So Harry doesn't really have anyone?" James asked them.

"Well, us, the Order and my family." Ron said.

"He's turned out pretty well." James smiled.

A/N: I know 'make it longer' well the next chapter will be. If you want e-mail me what you think Mr. and Mrs. Potter's house looks like, I just have a general idea so your ideas would be a big help. Thanks. Oh and my e-mail is
