Chapter 3

Silent Worries

James and Lily sat together in the beautiful circular office of professor Dumbledore. It was filled with numerous amounts of interesting instruments. The walls were covered with moving portraits of old headmasters and headmistresses and there was just enough bright light that reflected widely leaving traces of its elegance and hope. Just in the corner stood a table with the Sorting hat on it.

Sirius sat his upper body leaned down facing baby Harry in his arms. He made silly faces at him poking him ever so gently, making him giggle. Lily smiled at this as they waited apprehensively for professor Dumbledores arrival.

"No use worrying" Sirius commented as he tickled baby Harry making him giggle insanely.

"Easy for you to say padfoot, the only thing that you ever worried about was if Amelia would ever go all the way with you" James commented in a less charismatic tone than he would usually use. He busied himself with starring down on his sneaker; his mind was obviously more in a confusing whirl wind than Sirius own.

"As if!" Sirius argued with a smile on his face and a mischief twinkle in his eyes. He wasn't about to let his friend, his blood brother wallow in worry.

"We did in fact go all the way Prongs, and I never worried she wouldn't"

"Please refrain from speaking of such things in front of my son" Lily interrupted smiling a bit as she got up. Her worry was buried deeper than James and not even noticeable. She held a strong face, with her usual sweet smile even in the worse of times. Pulling aside her red locks that glimmered in the shining light of the office adding even more beauty, she turned to Sirius and held out her hands to take a hold of her son

"Ah now Lily he's only one" Sirius flashed her a doggish smile his handsome smile glinting with warmth.

"Sirius he's my son, and you're right he is only one, it's too much of an early age for him to be exposed to such things" she added in her mock disappointing voice another smile creping on her features revealing that she did approve of his attempt to cheer up her husband and herself but it would be better if he did it with a cleaner topic. Harry may be one but he is born from a former mischief headboy and bright headgirl.

"She's right mate, sorry Lily darling," James said quickly flashing her he's own apologetic look yet hiding the smirk that Sirius had successful brought out of him.

"Sorry Lils, didn't mean to get all into that" Sirius responded flashing his own apologetic look as well, yet smirking, he had succeeded. He glanced at baby Harry whom grinned at him and wrinkled his noise as if he knew exactly what they were talking about. Sirius opened his mouth to say something when the door opened quietly. All three of them turned and looked. Dumbledore walked in, his eyes twinkling at usual behind his half-moon spectacles.

"Professor" James said his smirk fading and invisible worry lines appearing. All three of them stood up, Lily with a clear face as her husband, Sirius still with a small smirk, hidden beyond notice that only James would be able to detect. James couldn't help but feel as if he were sixteen again, in Dumbledores office with Lily being named headboy and her headgirl for the year. He could remember the feeling of slight anxiety at first; he thought he was called to the office for interrogation for some bewitched silver armors that fought among each other the Great Hall. He was calm and collect yet still nervous, the Marauders tact's never were questionable for suspension expect for that one time in his fifth year.

Dumbledore took a seat behind his desk motioning for them to sit back down. This brought him out his reminiscing. The three of them seated themselves back in there seats.

"Well, professor is he our son?" Lily asked slowly clutching Harry softly in her arms whom yawned and shot his Godfather faces of complete love.

"Indeed he is Lily" Dumbledor responded.

"What is he doing here? Is there something wrong back at his time? Is he alright?" Lily asked all too fastly her maternal side taking a hold of her and at last revealing the worry she buried behind her smile for the sake of her husband.

"Now Lily he's fine, but I cannot answer anything other than that. Harry will be staying here with you until his time turner can be repaired and can return him to his own time. You must understand, you cannot ask him to reveal to you any futuristic events that are going to take place. As I have already warned Harry of this, him being here not only endangers his safety but yours as well. If he were to reveal any facts that will eventually take place, a time paradox would be created causing these events that are supposed to take place not to, do you understand?" Dumbledore asked softly looking at all three of them. They all remained tacit nodding there heads expect for baby Harry that fidgeted in his mothers arms reaching out to the large beautiful scarlet bird that landed right next to him. Gazing at him and letting out a few beautiful notes of music, the toddler smiled genuinely.

"You will be obliviated after he returns to his present time" Dumbledore added softly.

"Dumbledore is he alright though? He seemed rather…" James asked trailing off, how could he say he seemed hurt, really surprised not surprised but shocked when he first laid eyes on him, as if he were dreaming. This caused him dread, why would his own son seem shocked to see him? Well there were many possibly answers for this, but some feeling inside him clung to the dread instead, ignoring all the logical answers that presented themselves.

"Time is a mysterious thing James, so is the mind, whatever has occurred in his future is not up for us to deal with, it is up to the people of his time, we cannot help him with what has happened and will happen for we cannot know of this, all we can do is guide him through these days" He finished slightly gravely, looking carefully upon the faces of twenty-one that seemed to have aged with maturity.

"Take advantage of this opportunity, it is a once and a life-time chance to have your sixteen year old son at the age frame as yours. And still does not mean you cannot bond with him, share likes and dislikes and maybe a few stories that are not time harming in any way of course" Dumbledore flashed them a smile.

"Off course" Lily responded her nonchalantly she trusted the headmaster even if things always did not seem steady.

"But professor the scar on his forehead how did he…?" It was Lily's turn to trail off this time. James laid an arm around her holding her close.

"That now Lily I myself do not know of and should not of at the time being, I would advise the same thing for you not to ask"

All through this conversation Sirius eyes remained on the toddler that seemed to have dozed off after petting the marvelous bird a few times and smiling angel like to the Fawkes beautiful notes. He smiled at his godson turning his eyes on Dumbledore.

"What about the rules of time professor?" He asked calmly and thoughtfully receiving the attention of the entire group on him. He continued.

"What will happen if baby Harry sees his older self" he questioned slowly "I remember McGonagall telling us that once a person sees themselves they go mad, can that happen with Harry and well Baby Harry?" Sirius asked his eyes glinting with some worry themselves.

"Yes, the rules of time" Dumbledore said calmly looking at the three serious faces.

"Baby Harry is only about one, but that is still dangerous thing to toy with, it is best that his younger self does not see his older self, glimpses here and there will not necessarily harm him but long periods of interactions can leave it's marks" he paused "It's only best they do not fully interact" Dumbledore finished.

James cast Lily a slight worried look. Sirius looked between them and the now fully asleep toddler. Dumbledore stood up flashing them a sweet smile his beard glimmering in the beautiful light. They followed in his suit and stood up as well following holding baby Harry softly in her arms carefully not to wake him up.

"Why the disheartening looks? Be merry! You've been blessed with such an opportunity" Dumbledore broke the silence; he smiled his piercing blue eyes twinkling friendly.

"Can we go see him now?" James asked his head held up high feeling bits better about the situation.

"He is resting at the moment, but I can assure you he will be up in no time, you are welcome to spend the night" Dumbledore smiled.

"Thank you professor" Lily responded smiling, her emerald eyes lighting up

"But we need to put Harry to bed now"

"Good night then, let it be said tomorrow will be a full day" with that they said there good nights as they walked to the fireplace. , James pulled off his worn out warm looking golden and red jacket and slipped it around Lily's shoulders. She smiled handing him Harry, whom he took carefully into his arms holding close.

Each of them stepped inside clearly stating

"Godric Hollow"

After putting the sleeping toddler to rest, in his crib. All three of them sat on the comfortable couches placed in the darkened living room. Sirius sat slightly hunched holding his cup of butter bear in his hand starring at it with an inquisitive expression. Across from him sat James and lily by his side, both in each other's arms. The fire from the fireplace blazed feverishly it's scarlet embers flying closely up, the shadows on there faces danced hypnotically.

Setting down his butter bear, a sigh escaped his lips. James directed his gaze from lily to him.

"What's wrong Padfoot?" he asked slowly stifling a small yawn. Lily shifted breaking apart from James and sitting firmly on her own.

"Just thinking of Amelia," he said calmly a smirk forming on his features. James laughed Sirius joined in after a moment. Lily on the other hand rolled her eyes to them.

"You two, best we go to sleep, there's a full day a head of us, Sirius you can stay for the night," She offered taking out her wand and levitating the jugs that floated back into the kitchen. She paused facing the two them with an expression of thoughtfulness.

"I am going to check on Harry, I think I hear him stirring" Lily said shortly said after her pause leaving the living room with a faint smile. James knew well that that was only an excuse she gave to leave her and Sirius alone to speak.

"Are you going to tell me what's wrong now Prongs?" Sirius directed the question to James looking at him with sharp eyes.

"I asked you first Padfoot" James responded "Besides there's nothing wrong" he finished pulling his glasses down and rubbing his hazel eyes of some sleep.

"Bollocks Prongs, you've been quiet since this afternoon" Sirius said sharply leaning forward his arms on his legs, looking rather tentative. "Either tell me" he paused thoughtfully a smirk forming on his features " or Harry will know all about that butter bear quiditch incident in France the summer before our seventh year" He added his Grey eyes lighting up with mischief.

"Come off it Padfoot! That was a complete accident and you swore you'd never speak of it to anyone!" James protested his cheeks reddening just a tad bit. This was their routine they've grown to use daily back in good old days whenever one of them had a worry.

"Either spill it or Red upstairs will get the full R version of that summers events," Sirius added to the silence a smirk playing on his lips. James knew when ever Sirius said he would do something he would; there was no way of stopping him.

"Fine Padfoot" he gave in "but this isn't over yet, we still have practice for quiditch and don't think Ill go easy on you" he added with his own usual mischief look in place.

"I can always use some equitable practice" Sirius remarked grinning. Leaning even more out his expression changed to complete seriousness "Now tell me". James sighed standing up; he wasn't sure where to begin. He paced around the fire finding some comfort in doing this.

"I just don't understand what Harry could be doing here, now where things are really difficult, now that the war is on" he let out at last, one of his silent worries.

"Maybe" Sirius paused for the effects, the expressions of his eyes being of a crossed seriousness and hidden humor "he wants to see how good you were in quiditch back in your days" Sirius flashed him a grin. James glared his body and attention fully on him.

"That's not funny Sirius, he should be in his time". Sirius stood up facing him all in his height. Both of the young men were just about the same height. The fire played behind them still embers falling and shooting out, the shadows dancing.

"But he's here now James, and he's sixteen. Like Dumbledore said it's a once and a lifetime opportunity" he tried to lighten his mood, bring his discomfort and worries to a rest, but truth be told he was worried himself and he knew there was more to this then having a visit from his son.

"I just don't understand Padfoot" he paused frowning deeply "we can know what is going to happen to us in 15 years to come, in five years! The conclusion to the war"

"And if England will finally beat Ireland at the upcoming world cup in a year, can you imagine the bets we can make?" Sirius added in humorously "James you're being stupid, your not thinking mate" he said clapping him on the shoulder "Do you really want to know that much about your future? I personally prefer some mystery"

"I want to know if will make it through this war" James answered somberly ignoring Sirius attempt to humor him. Sirius sighed shooting a glance at the fire tapping his foot on the floor softly letting the silence seep in for a few seconds.

"So do I mate" he agreed at last "But that's something will know in time. Like Dumbledore said, in spite of everything that's happening I don't think we need a time paradox on our hands to ice the cake" he added darkly his eyes shining with some dread.

"You're right" James agreed with a small sigh his chest heaving and relaxing a bit. He still felt overwhelmed; he looked surprised when he saw me really surprised the thought haunted him. Sirius looked at him, he knew exactly what he was thinking, 10 years of friendship with a blood brother can do that to anyone.

"I am sure it was just weird for him, as it was for you" he said quietly. James nodded muffling a 'suure'.

"Besides Prongs! Aren't you at least bit interested to see if Pronglet thrives in quiditch like you?" he grinned brightly moving back and forth. James eyes lit at the mention of his son being seemingly great at quiditch like him.

"I am sure he is! He's mine and Lily's after all," James said proudly with complete cockiness.

"Maybe he can tell us about his own mischief at Hogwarts, maybe he has a prodigy of mine as a friend, will see of course" Sirius said stifling a yawn.

"Yeah, another Black at Hogwarts with another Potter" James said tiredly with a grin. He felt better now that his worries were behind him. Another good thing about Sirius, he could always count on him to make him forget his worries, to put an end to them. He yawned leaning against the couch armchair.

"You two will never know unless you get to sleep" a voice broke through their thoughts. Lily had entered the room and stride over to Sirius side placing her hand on his shoulder.

"The guest room is ready for you and no protesting Black, you're staying here tonight like it or not" she smiled, her emerald eyes brightening. He grinned at her yawning.

"And you" she said softly breaking the touch and making her way over to James side

"Me?" James said softly in a rasp of a yawn.

"Yes you" Lily responded her emerald eyes glimmering in the firelight "There's a comfy bed upstairs waiting for you unless you fancy this couch" she teased. He stood up wrapping his arm around her tiredly.

"Ill take door number one," he muttered softly with a sleepy smile. Sirius laughed ready for a remark, but instead of speaking he yawned. Rubbing the back of his neck in a tired manner, he looked at the two of them with a sleepy grin. The three of them smiled and nodded heading up to their rooms. The fire in the living room died out slowly with their departure.

They fell asleep in their beds, Lily and James in each other's arms, Sirius hugging a pillow (envisioning Amelia?). Anxious for what tomorrow would bring.
