Harry was still mad at Remus and Sirius for not telling him about him being on the front page. He was listening to the Marauders talk about pranks that they could do to him, but he didn't care.

He sat back on the bed, not looking at the people in front of him. Lily was watching him. She saw the look on his face, and how he wasn't talking or looking at Remus or Sirius. She didn't know how Harry was feeling toward her friends, but how they were acting, she could sympathize.

She walked over to him and sat down beside him. He didn't even look at her. Why is Harry so angry? Why is he so mad at being on the front page? He must not like all the publicity he gets. That's why he was so angry when he was still on the front of the paper.

Lily asked to Harry softly, "Are you angry because you don't like all the publicity you get?"

Without looking at her, Harry responded in a dark, low tone. "Yes and I don't like it when anyone keeps things from me. I find out by others and they always have something to torture me with. I don't like it then and I don't like it when my family or friends do it too."

James, Sirius and Remus heard Harry's answer. They often forgot who was in the room when they got carried away with pranks. At first they were trying to cheer Harry up, and as always, they got carried away.

Their faces fell and they looked at the boy-who-lived. At first glace you would think Harry was just annoyed at something, but if you look closer and carefully, you could tell he was angry. He was angry with the Prophet, his friends and his godfather.

"Who tortures you Harry?" James asked. He never had that much trouble with others bothering him. Most of them were too afraid to, but Harry seemed different. Would Harry do anything in his power to stop someone he loves from getting hurt? Would he risk his own life for family, or friends?

He looked up to his father's eyes. James clearly saw all the hate in Harry's eyes. All the hate and torture in so young of eyes, but those eyes saw something even grown men would cry out and flinch away from. Something very painful and something Harry would remember for the rest of his life.

"Anyone who doesn't like you, Dumbledore, or my ideas! The Ministry doesn't believe Voldemort has come back, so they discredit anyone who does! Dumbledore is at the top of that list and I'm second!

"I was the one who saw that filth come back, and almost no one believes me! I know the Order does, but not many besides them. Last year was the worst year at Hogwarts I've ever had! The Defense Against the Dark Arts Teacher was the worst, I was kicked off the Quidditch team because of the Defense Teacher, and I lost one of the most important people I've ever known! I lost him because of three people: Bellatrix Black, Lord Voldemort and Cornelius Fudge, the Minister of Magic."

Everyone was shocked into silence. They didn't know that Harry would freely say this to them. They thought they would be up here for hours, trying to get this information out of him. They thought that, because his parents would do it that way.

James spoke slowly, trying to figure out everything Harry said. "You're angry at the Minister of Magic, Voldemort and Bellatrix Black…Wait, wasn't she in Azkaban?"

"Yes, until she broke out with nine others." Harry said calmly and slowly. "But she wasn't the first one, Sirius was."

James and Lily looked at Sirius, and Sirius and Remus was staring at Harry. They didn't know why he was bringing this up again. The first time he did it was to get Sirius in trouble but now, it was for a greater purpose.

Harry was looking into Sirius's eyes now. The hate was stronger then ever before. Sirius was shocked Harry cared so much for him to be free. To get him out of this house, without being Padfoot, or in an invisibility cloak.

"Sirius was in Azkaban for a crime he didn't do. He was blamed for murdering you, Lily and Peter Pettigrew." Harry said in the calm and low voice.

James and Lily were shocked how Harry was acting and that another friend killed one of their friends.

"How- how could you Sirius? How could you kill Peter?" Lily asked shocked and tears in her eyes. "How could you kill him?"

"He didn't. He tried to after that….that rat blamed your deaths' on him." Harry said with disgust. "After Peter showed his true colors, he joined his true master, Voldemort. Sirius was put into Azkaban for fourteen years until he broke out in my third year. He wasn't given a trial either.

"Peter was living with my friend Ron, as his rat. Once Sirius broke out, he began to worry that Sirius would track him down. He did, but on the night when Remus found out that Peter and Sirius had switched as Secret Keepers, Peter escaped. I found out that Sirius was trying to kill him, not me.

"But the plan didn't work. Remus and Sirius made up and were going to kill him, but I stopped them. I said to bring him up to the castle, so the Dementors could have him, but the little rat escaped as Remus changed into Moony. I've only seen him once since then." Harry said looking into James and Lily's eyes.

He wanted them to understand that their "friend", Peter Pettigrew, betrayed them, not Sirius; and Sirius had to pay for the sin that Peter made.

Sirius was looking at the floor. He knew that they had to know, but it was hard to hear Harry talk like this; to say it with a strong voice, looking into their eyes. Looking into the eyes of the two best friends' he ever had. The two that had died because of a traitor of a brother, a friend, and family.

Peter had not only betrayed James and Lily, but also him and Remus. He could never forgive Peter of what he did. He let his family, friends and everyone he cared about, down. In Sirius's eye, Peter was no friend of his.

"When did you see him Harry?" James asked softly.

Harry was looking at Sirius. Sirius looked up to emerald green eyes. The eyes that saw too much, the eyes that would do anything for the ones he loved.

He looked away, up into the eyes of his fathers.

"I saw him when Voldemort was reborn." Harry said simply, but how he said it wasn't at all simply. His voice didn't shake; it was strong and full of hate.

"Why are you telling us this Harry? What do you want us to do?" Lily asked. She had one single, crystal tear falling down her check slowly.

Harry was silent for a few moments. He stood up and spoke.

"We need Cornelius Fudge out of office. He doesn't do any good for the second war. We need someone stronger, which will believe Voldemort is back and that believes in fair trials.

"I won't stand for this man to let Voldemort take control over the Ministry of Magic. They're supposed to help the people fight Voldemort, not let that monster kill everyone!" Harry's voice was rising quickly.

"More and more people are going to be needing trails and Fudge doesn't believe that free men should have one! Sirius is a free man and he shouldn't have been thrown in Azkaban because the stupid Minister of Magic didn't give him a trial!"

"Harry calm down!" James called. "I'm sure someone is thinking the same as you are, but we can't do anything about it. We don't have the power."

"Yes we do. You can tell him that Sirius is innocent and Dumbledore is right! He doesn't even know that you are alive, let alone Sirius! I know he said in the Prophet that Peter was the Secret Keeper, but many people think differently! They think that Sirius is still on Voldemort's side and we need all the help we can get. If we want people to come join us then we have to start small. We have to get Sirius a trail, and to get Fudge out of office!"

"Harry we all want Sirius to have his trail, but some things we can't have." Remus said.

"We can and are going to have Sirius's trail Remus. If what Harry says is true, then why can't we go up to the Minister of Magic and tell him the truth." James said angrily. He wasn't going to have one of his closest friends in trouble with the Ministry of Magic.

"How are we James? How are we? We can't walk up to the Ministry and demand to see the Minister." Remus said.

"If we can get to Potter Palace, then we could. You know we have mostly every poison there is in there, or we can make it." Lily said. She too wasn't going to let this happen to her friend.

"Lily, you know we can't go there! Only the last Potter can get in and Harry's not going anywhere!" Sirius yelled, angrily. He knew why Harry said all those things: to get James and Lily on his side.

"Sirius, you can be free! You won't have to been in this house! You could go anywhere you want if you let us." Harry said pleadingly.

Sirius looked into his eyes. They were still angry, but determination was quickly replacing it.

"Harry, I know you want to help, but we have to think this through. We can't walk up to Fudge and tell him the truth. No matter how much I want to, we can't. We have to talk with the Order before we do something like that."

Sirius only said that for Harry to calm down. He knew it would take a while before he had an answer and he didn't want to wait. Besides, Dumbledore would have to know of what they're planning. Some people still believed in his sanity.

"Sirius-"

"I know you want to act now, but you have to wait. We can't do anything right now."

Nobody spoke as Sirius's words sank in. Harry wanted Sirius to be free, and he got Lily and James on his side without making a big mess, but he needed Remus or any of the Weasleys on his side too. He needed to get his godfather cleared.

"Harry? Can we come in?" Hermione's voice came from behind the door.

Harry didn't even look at any of the Marauders. He simply walked over to the door and opened it and walked out. Hermione was completely surprised. She, Ron and Ginny, who came up with her, all were. They have never seen Harry acted like this.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Ginny asked.

It was a little dark in the hallway, and Harry was partly in the shadows. His head was bent like he was thinking about something complicated. He looked up and they saw the hate and some pain in his eyes. He blinked once and said, "Yes, I'm fine."

Before any of them could move, James, Lily, Sirius and Remus came out. James was looking at Harry sadly. All Harry wanted was a normal life and he'll never get it. He'll never get a normal life, ever. He'll always be the Boy-Who-Lived. The Boy-Who-Lived and lost everything when he was one year old.

Ginny looked back to James and saw him looking where is son just was. So much pain in their eyes…too much.

What happened in there? What could make them all so unhappy? James looks so sad now. Why does it have to be like this? Why…why…

"Hermione, I'm going to bed." Ginny said quietly. Everyone looked at the smallest Weasley go upstairs to her and Hermione's bedroom.

After Ginny left, everyone else did too. They were all tired and the day didn't end right, James thought. Lily and I have to make Harry's life better. We have to get him to smile in these dark times. But how? How do we get a sad, depressed boy to smile if he doesn't want to?

Ron was already in bed when Harry came back. It looked as if he was lost. Lost in his own world, where no one could help him. But Ron couldn't let that happen to his friend. He won't let anything happen to his brother.

"Harry, what's wrong?" Ron asked normally.

He looked up and said, "Nothing Ron, nothing."

"I know you better then that Harry. You disappeared after you talked with James and Lily. Something's wrong." Ron said not going to give up on his friend so easily.

Harry didn't know what to do. Ron and Hermione helped him through everything so far, so why not this time?

"I'll tell you and Hermione in the morning. I'm too tired to get into it tonight." Harry said undressing and changing into his pajamas.

Ron thought about it for a moment and decided that he could wait, but not for too long. His best friend was in trouble and he didn't like it. Harry seems depressed, now that his parents and Sirius came back. He would rather talk with Harry for hours on end then let this happen to him.

"Harry, you know we're here for you right?" Ron asked him seriously.

Harry looked into Ron's eyes, and said seriously back, "Yeah, I know."

In the morning, Ron waited for Harry to get up. He wasn't going to let Harry off the hook so easily. Even if he had to wait hours, he was going to wait for his friend to get up, and talk to him.

It didn't take that long for Harry to wake up. He looked at Ron, sitting on his bed, staring at him.

"What?" Harry asked Ron confused.

"You know what. The way you acted last night… Harry I've never seen you like that. What's wrong?" Ron asked generally concerned for his friend.

"I'll tell you when Hermione get's up Ron. She'll go mad if I tell you and not her." Harry said getting dressed.

Ron followed suit and they both went down to the kitchen. They found their parents, Remus, and Ron's older brothers in there already. James looked up from talking to Remus and saw his son walking in.

"Hey, Harry. How- er, was you night?" James asked weirdly.

"Why?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"He didn't do anything Harry, I made sure of that." Remus said smiling.

"Why are you so happy this morning?" Harry asked, sitting down opposite from him.

"No reason. Can't a guy be-"

"Trust me Harry, Moony's always like this in the morning." James cut off Remus before he said anything he'll regret.

Ron was already eating toast, started to gag on it. Harry patted him on the back and when Ron was done gagging, he stared at Remus.

"What have you been doing this morning Remus?" Ron asked Remus with raised eyebrows.

Harry caught on when Bill and Charlie sprayed out their coffee and turned toward them. Harry turned to look at Remus who had his head in his hands.

"Try to be mature, will you?" He said through his hands.

Everyone was giving him looks when Hermione and Ginny walked in.

"What's up?" Ginny asked, noticing all the looks Remus was getting.

All of her older brothers, including Harry said, "Nothing!" quickly.

Ginny looked at all of them and then back to Remus and James. James was scolding Remus for something she didn't want to find out. She heard a little of what James was saying to Remus before Ron started to talk to Harry loudly.

"Remus, they're too young for that! Do you have any sense at all? I thought you did-"

"So Harry, where are we going to talk?" Ginny looked over and saw that Harry was shaking his head at Remus. James saw Harry and glared at Remus.

"Harry, nothing happened this morning. Remus forgot that you three were in front of him." James tried to explain to his son, but Harry didn't believe him.

"Um-hum. What ever you say…" Harry said, not believing a word his father says.

"Harry!" Ron said, hitting him upside the head. "Don't focus on that!"

Harry turned away from Remus and James and looked at Ron while rubbing is sore head.

"Well, it's not my fault he put it like that!" Harry said, trying to defend himself.

Hermione who had caught on, said, "Yes, Harry, Ron's right. Don't even think about those things. We should go in another room and talk."

Ron and Hermione pulled Harry out of the chair and dragged him up the stairs into his and Ron's bedroom. Ginny, not wanting to miss the fun joined them.

"Okay Harry, we're going to forget that downstairs and you have to tell us what happened yesterday." Ron said.

Harry's expression turn from a small smirk to a frown that didn't want to remember.

"Oh…that." Harry said and sat down on his bed.

Hermione sat down on Harry's bed and Ginny and Ron sat on his. Before Harry even opened his mouth, Hermione charmed the door so no one can hear what they were going to talk about. She didn't want anyone to find out, not even James or Lily, for the moment.

"Okay Harry, tell us what happened." Hermione said.

Harry looked at each of their faces. They were concerned for him, but why? Why were they so concerned for him?

"First you tell me why you want to know this." Harry said.

They all looked at each other and Hermione said slowly, "Harry, remember going to your old muggle school?" Harry nodded. "Do you remember when some of the teachers told you about abused and depressed children-"

Hermione didn't get very far after that.

"Are you saying I'm abused and depressed?" Harry almost shouted at Hermione.

"I'm not saying you're depressed or abused, but you starting to act like it!" Hermione said honestly. "Harry, I'm not saying you are now, but if you don't talk to us you could be."

Harry turned away from Hermione and stared at the wall opposite her. He didn't say anything for a while, and then, finally, he began.

"I know I'm not depressed Hermione," He said hotly, "but I don't know about abused. Uncle Vernon was never really nice or kind to me ever, but he didn't hit me."

"There is more then one kind of abuse Harry." Hermione reminded him.

Harry sided and went on. "On more then one occasion, he locked me in a small cupboard before I moved into my cousin's second bedroom. I would sleep in it and sometimes not eat for a few days.

"But when I moved into the bedroom, things got better and worse. They got better because I had a room I could go into, not a small cupboard. But then some things happened and everything turned for the worst.

"As you know, Dobby visited me in my second year and instead of helping me he made it worse. After he dropped the cake on someone's wife's head, Uncle Vernon put locks on my door. Ron saved me, but you don't know the half of it. I had to do long hard chores while Dudley sat and watched me, eating ice cream.

"Once in a while, Uncle Vernon would come home drunk and when he did he usually yelled and sometimes hit me."

He turned away from his friend's shocked stares. They never thought that Harry's life would be anything like this at his uncle's home.

Harry went on, telling his friends about his life at his uncle's home. He started out not telling them much, but they got him going and Harry reluclently told them more.

James was still telling off Remus for his stupidity.

"Remus, when did you get so dumb?" James asked.

"James stop badgering me about this! It was one mistake and it won't happen again!" Remus said highly annoyed.

Everyone else was listening to James and Remus go at each other. It was different for James to be telling off Remus or Remus trying to stay calm.

They stopped for a brief moment when Sirius came in half awake. James remembered Sirius needed a few cups of coffee before he could think clearly. So James went back to annoying Remus.

"Remus, their kids! What did you do? Hit your head too hard?" James yelled.

"James, leave him alone and what did he do?" Sirius asked getting some coffee.

James looked at Sirius carefully and Sirius sipped his coffee staring at him back.

"Well?" Sirius asked again.

"What happened to you? When did you start to become a morning person?" James asked Sirius.

It was Remus's turn to spit out his coffee.

"When did this happen, Sirius?"

"It didn't." Sirius took another sip of coffee.

"Then what is James talking about?"

"I don't know, ask James." Sirius took yet another sip of coffee and looked at James.

"What?"

"Is Sirius a morning person?" Sirius asked.

"No." James said sipping his coffee.

"Then why did you ask if you already knew?" Remus asked.

"I asked?" James asked, knowing that he did.

"Did he?" Sirius asked Remus.

"No, I don't think so." Remus replied.

"Then who asked?" James asked.

Everyone was laughing at the three men. James, Sirius and Remus were funnier then Fred and George. The twins were funny, but the Marauders were the originals. Fred and George were the beginning of the second generation.

"Stop it James. It's too early in the morning." Lily said.

"When were you not a morning person Lily?" Remus asked.

"Oh no, I'm not starting this again. I've already done it once and I'm not starting it again." Lily said.

"You got them started once?" Charlie asked highly amused.

"Yes, when I first started dating him. I knew that they were funny and could make almost anyone laugh, but I sometimes forgot they could easily get started. I got them started one day at breakfast and it lasted until lunch."

The three men stopped it and went on eating breakfast. Lily was talking to Mrs. Weasley about different recipes that she tried, Bill and Charlie were talking to James, Remus and Sirius about their jobs or about the Order that Remus or Sirius didn't tell James. James was serious when it came to the Order so no one was laughing in hysterics.

It was a while until Lily noticed that neither her son, nor Mrs. Weasley's two youngest and Hermione weren't down here anymore.

"They're still upstairs. What could they be doing up there?" Mrs. Weasley asked James, Remus or Sirius once Lily asked her where their children are.

"They could be talking." James said, looking up at the roof. "That's what we did and it took hours with him."

"But what could they be talking about for this long?" Mrs. Weasley asked James.

"Who knows?" James said not really concerned.

Mrs. Weasley noticed James wasn't really concerned that his son wasn't in the room.

"Mr. Potter-"

"Please, call me James."

"Okay James, but aren't you worried that your son might practicing magic or planning something?" Mrs. Weasley asked James carefully.

"Not really. If Harry wants to talk with his friends and not with me, then I'm going to let him. He doesn't have to tell us everything right away if he doesn't want to. When we need answers, I'll ask, but not before. It's a waste of both of our time if they're only talking."

She turned back to Lily. Obviously James's response wasn't what she was looking for. It was quiet for a while until Sirius got bored talking about the Order.

"James, why don't we see if your broom is still at Potter Palace? If it is then we can move the Order there."

"Why, want to get back to your real home?" James asked and looking around. "Yeah, I think that's a good idea, but Dumbledore will have to hear it first. I know that if this place is the Order of the Pheonix, then the Fidelius Charm is used on it."

"We could go now…" Sirius hinted.

"No we can't." James said, going back to his food.

"Why can't we? We can drag Harry along, even though I think he would want to see it." Sirius said, wanting to get out of this house.

"We can't because if Remus doesn't go, then we won't get any food." James said looking to his other friend.

"James, I'm not going back there! I told you already." Remus said glaring at his friends.

"Remus we were kids at the time, you know that. We would never do that to you again." Sirius said thinking when he could or getting Harry to.

"If you can get Harry away from his friends with Ron and Hermione getting disappointed then I'll go, but that's if they're not disappointed." Remus said, knowing that Mrs. Weasley would never let them.

Sirius knew why Remus said that. Mrs. Weasley would never let her children go to Potter Palace without Dumbledore or Mad-Eye saying nothing dangerous was in it.

Sirius was about to whisper to James why Remus said that, but James was already up and moving over to Mrs. Weasley. But Lily got to her first.

"Molly, you would let your children go to Potter Palace right? I would never let anything bad happen to them. I'll treat them like my own." Lily said, knowing that Mrs. Weasley would let her children go to her house if she was there and sweet-talking always helps.

"Of course I'll let them go Lily. As long as you're there," She saw James leave to go up the stairs with Remus and Sirius right behind him. "Is he insulted?"

"No, he isn't." Lily said, now talking about Potter Palace.

James knocked on the door. There was no answer then the door unlocked and someone came up to open it.

It was Ginny. She looked a little afraid but James smiled and said, "Harry, pack your things, we're going home."

Harry didn't know what to say. He and everyone else were staring at him. They didn't expect that this early in the morning.

Harry was the first person to say anything. "When?"

"Right now. You three can come too." James said walking out of the room.

No body moved for a second then Harry got up and started to pack. That triggered everyone else. Hermione and Ginny ran out of the room while Harry and Ron were scrambling to get their things together.

Everyone had their things in fifteen minutes. Harry and Ron were coming down the stares and into the kitchen when Hermione and Ginny were coming out of their room.

James looked impressed when Harry and Ron came down first.

"Good job boys, Lily pay up." He smirked to Lily who was looking disappointed.

Hermione and Ginny came in and Lily said, "Girls, you should be ashamed of yourselves. You lost me ten gallons to James."

Harry and Ron were looking confused and Hermione and Ginny were looking confused and scared.

"What's going on?" Ron asked.

The Potter parents didn't hear Ron's question because they were arguing. Sirius was watching them for a few moments.

"Lily and James made a bet saying that Hermione and Ginny would come down before you and Harry, Ron. If Lily lost then she owed James ten gallons and if James lost then he gets to sleep on the couch tonight," Sirius said smiling. "Which she would probably be joining him."

"In other words both were bored and decided to see who's faster." Remus said also smiling.

Harry and Ron grinned at turned to Hermione and Ginny. The girls were surprised to hear this.

"Well girls, I think we should figure out what we're going to do to the men." Lily said, taking Hermione and Ginny under her wing.

James, Harry and Ron didn't look that happy. All three of them knew that going against the girls would be bad, but they couldn't refuse.

James looked at Sirius and Remus. "I think the next Marauders are being born today men! If those twins you were talking about wants to be taught by the best call them over!" He turned to two shocked boys. "Tomorrow you'll start to learn the meaning of 'Marauders'."

A/N.. Hey peoples, sorry for the long wait. I've been think and writing a new fanfic. I'm not sure if I want to post it though. I've been playing with a summary: What if I came to Hogwarts in my fifth year. What if something happened to me last year that I don't want to talk about. What if I meet Ginny and Harry? What would happen if they find out and try and help? What do you think? I might change the summary but that's what I'm thinking. Please tell me if you should think I should post it.

Also, I'm at a little writer's block. If you could give me some ideas I can post it faster. I have an idea that a few people are going to Potter Palace but after that I have no clue.

Did you hear about the 12 trapped miners? I'm so happy they got out! It didn't look like they would be alive because of the carbon monoxide levels but then when I heard they got out, I couldn't believe it! I'm so, so, so, so, so happy they got out alive, but also sad because one didn't make it. I'm never going to forget this.-----BREAKING NEWS! ONE MINER ALIVE! There is only one miner alive! Somehow word got out that 12 were found alive but only one. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT! How could someone say that the 12 miners were alive when they're really dead! I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! Everyone had their hopes up and now there's news that it's all a lie! I CAN NOT BELIEVE THIS!
