Hope you like this one better than the last one.

disclaimer: not mine, i own nada.

Chapter fourteen.


Lily and James were determined to spend way more time with their son. And James wanted to see Vernon Dursley for some reason. So while Lily went to Hogsmeade with Harry, James went to 4 Privet Close. He knocked on the door. Vernon answered, his face turned even more purple than usual.

"Why are you here?" He demanded,

"I should have done this last time." James said, and he threw a punch, straight into Dursley's face. "That's for the last seventeen years of Harry's life." Then he threw another punch, "And that's for not letting him know he was a wizard" and he threw one last hard punch, "And that, is because I don't like you!"

Then, James turned and walked away, out of the street and into Magnolia Crescent, where he checked to see no one was looking, and then apparated back to Hogsmeade, he then decided to browse the shops so he could let Lily and Harry bond. He didn't actually know that Lily was also there.

He entered Honeydukes, which was one of his favourite shops; he bought a selection of lollies, which he was planning to eat with Harry and his friends. He then went into a clothing shop and bought 12 pairs of different socks. For Dumbledore of course. He had done a lot for Lily and James over the past three years.

If he hadn't made them Head Boy and Girl, they wouldn't be together. If he hadn't lent James the time turner for the first time, Lily might be dead already. James was extremely grateful.


He then decided to go to Zonko's, which was also one of his favourite shops; because it had helped the Marauders with many of their pranks over the years.

James walked through the door, expecting there to be many young students in there, but then he realised, it was not a Hogsmeade day at Hogwarts.

He was looking at Itching Powder Sugar when he heard two familiar voices.

"What is that? It looks disgusting." one voice said with a laugh,

"It's Hortense's White Chocolate LoveBugs. It supposed to make the consumer fall in love with the person who gave them the chocolates." Another voice said,

"Oh, they had those when I was at school, in fact, I think your father used them on me."

"Indeed I did," James said, stepping out from behind a rack, "But I was mis-understood. It didn't take long for your mother to realize she was head over heels in love with me."

"Ha!" Lily laughed,

"It's true!" James said, as he pulled her in and kissed her lightly,

"Oh please, get a room." Harry said, James laughed, so did Lily.

"What do you want me to buy you Hazza?"

"Hazza?" he said,

"I don't know; it just popped into my head as I said it." James said, "What do you need?"

"Nothing, the fact that you guys are here is enough." Harry said happily, he loved having his parents here with him.

"Oh, that's sweet." Lily said,

"But I still want to buy you something." James said, so Harry picked out two things, James paid, and they headed off.


They ended up buying Harry a lot of new things, and presents for Harry's friends. A big, very chunky book for Hermione that Lily had picked out, with Harry's help; and a signed poster of the Chudley Cannons for Ron. Lily decided she also wanted to get to know Harry's friends. She wanted to find out about the stuff that Harry had been modest about.

When they arrived back at Hogwarts they went straight to the Head's Dorm, they knew that Hermione and Ron would be there, seeing as they were Heads of the school.

They gave them their presents, which they were both really happy about! Hermione seemed very happy to have received a book, which she had not yet read, and it was rather lengthy, so it would last her at least a few days.

Ron was ecstatic about his new poster, the minute he saw it, he thanked James and Lily then ran to put it up on his bedroom wall.


They then had a party. It wasn't a proper party, just five people, eating junk food and having fun. They spoke about Harry mostly, and then about James and Lily, and what had happened lately. They were all shocked when they heard about Lily's disease.

"Why did no one ever tell me about this?" Harry asked, James and Lily exchanged glances,

"No one told you, because not very many people knew. Only myself, Dumbledore, the healer, the marauders, and Jen and Emma knew." James told him

"We weren't sure if we should tell you," Lily said, "So we left it up to Dumbledore, I guess he chose not to tell."

Harry nodded; he hated it when people didn't tell him things that he felt he ought to know.
