The girls didn't look happy about this at all. All of them knew something of the Marauders, Lily more then Hermione and Ginny. Ginny heard stories about them and Hermione heard stories and Harry is like James enough as it is.

"James you said anyone could be taught from you three, not just these boys." Lily said accusingly.

"I know Lily, but you also said that you would teach them, not just the girls." James said defensibly.

"Yes, I know that but you still need to teach them the Marauder's way, no matter what." Lily said, not giving up on this.

"What about your study habits and your defenses, Lily? What happened to those?" James asked Lily not going to let his wife win this in front of his son.

"I'm going to teach him those, but you have to teach the girls also James! You can't pick our son because he's a boy!" Lily said getting angry.

"I DON'T PICK FAVORITES LILY! YOU KNOW THAT!" James bellowed. "I HAVE NEVER EVER PICKED FAVORITES!"

"THEN WHAT WAS THAT BEFORE, JAMES, WHAT WAS THAT? WE ALL SAW YOU TELL SIRIUS AND REMUS TO PREPARE FOR THE NEXT GENERATIONS OF MAURADERS!" Lily screamed on top of her lungs.

"I SAID THAT BECAUSE YOU TOOK THE GIRLS UNDER YOUR WING LILY! THAT'S THE ONLY REASON!" James bellowed right into Lily's face.

Everything was quiet for a while. No one thought Lily or James teaching Harry and his friends was a touchy subject. Remus and Sirius heard this argument before. James and Lily had their own things to teach Harry and his friends now. They both wanted to teach them and the other didn't want anyone to get left out.

Remus and Sirius got up and walked over to their friends. When they got into fights like these Remus and Sirius didn't usually make peace between them. But this was going too far so Remus dragged Lily away into an empty room and Sirius pulled James into another; far away from Lily and Remus.

"James, what was that in there? I thought you were through yelling!" Sirius yelled at his friend.

"I couldn't help it. I just need some time alone to think everything through." James said pacing.

"What's wrong this time?" Sirius asked.

"It's nothing." James said not focusing on Sirius.

"If it's nothing, then why did you get so mad back there?" Sirius asked knowing if he could break James's concentration he could get him to talk.

"It's nothing big Sirius. It's something me and Lily need to work out." James said still pacing.

"Is it about teaching Harry all that you know?" Sirius asked, guessing.

"What- yes." James said looking up for a second, then went back to pacing.

"Then what's the problem? If you and Lily take turns with teaching Harry and his friends then it wouldn't be a problem. I know that Hermione would love to know some of Lily's study habits and Ron would love to know your skills with the wand." Sirius said.

"Shut up for a moment! I can't think." James said getting annoyed.

"You know you have to talk about it, James. If I can't find out then I'll get Remus to help me." Sirius said, knowing both can strangle the answer out of him.

Back in the other room with Remus and Lily, Remus was having a far easier time then Sirius, who knew it.

"I wish James didn't act like that in front of them! Doesn't he understand that everyone backed up when we fought? I wish he would, for once, look at others around him! He didn't see the others back up with fear! He never does!" Lily yelled at Remus, who was sitting in a chair happy he was dealing with the easy one while Lily was pacing like James.

"He doesn't see anyone else when he's fighting, Lily, you know that. Those things don't change with some people. James was never the one who saw anything when he fights. He's too focused on the person to even think about anyone else around him." Remus said wisely.

"Yes, but he saw everyone when he humiliated Snape back at school." Lily said.

"That's only for show; you know James better than that Lily." Remus said looking at his friend concernedly.

"Do I? Do I really know James that well?" Lily asked looking at the wall.

"Yes you do. You're just confused at the moment. I told you that you wouldn't be able to handle this all at once. But did you listen to me? No! You never listen to me, only Sirius and James do." Remus said getting up and walking in front of her. "Lily, you have to talk to James about this. If you don't then he'll do it again without knowing and who knows what happens then."

"Remus I do listen to you." Lily said changing the subject.

"Tell me the last time you actually listened and I'll forget this conversation." Remus said knowing that Lily's too self-assured.

"Er-there was that one time during Christmas break." Lily said, knowing full well that she listen to him only after something bad happened.

"Doesn't count. You listened to me after your eyebrows blew off." Remus said happily she couldn't think of any other time. "Now, let's go and find James."

Remus pulled Lily out of the room and down the hall where he could hear James and Sirius's voices.

"James, you have to talk about this. Did you see anyone when you two fought?" Sirius asked looking at his best friend.

James looked up. No he didn't look at anyone, he never does.

"I thought so." Sirius said frowning, "You didn't see anyone because you were too rapped up in the moment. Would it kill you to look ever?"

James didn't say anything. He didn't realize that when he fights people are truly afraid of him.

"I didn't know Sirius, I truly didn't." James said looking down.

"James you have a hot head that you have to control. Weren't you listening to us when we said that you couldn't handle it if you knew too much?" Sirius asked.

"Yes I was listening," James turned to look at the wall, "I forgot."

Sirius turned James back. "James it's alright to admit when you made a mistake or forgotten, you're human you're going to make mistakes."

James nodded and went to sit on the bed when Remus yelled to open the door.

Sirius opened the door and helped to drag Lily in. They pushed her in and ran to get out. Once out they put a chair up against the door so Lily couldn't get out easily.

Both Lily and James ran to the door. Even thought they loved each other, sometimes they needed time alone.

"Sirius open this door!" James yelled.

No one answered.

"OPEN THE DOOR SIRIUS!" James bellowed.

"You're not getting out by yelling James, I thought you knew us better then that." Sirius said safely from the opposite side.

"You're not going to stay safe for long Sirius! I'm warning you as soon as I get out-" James yelled.

"When you get out you'll thank me." Sirius said, smirking.

"Don't smirk; I'm still going to murder you!" James yelled. He knew Sirius and Remus well. Sometimes for fun they would lock them in a cupboard when he got too annoying….which for them wasn't so bad.

James turned from the door and saw Lily sitting on the bed. He sat down beside her and didn't say a word. They remained silent for a while until James spoke.

"Sirius told me that I scared everyone in the room. Is that true?"

Lily turned to her husband and said, "Yes. I saw Harry back up and look down. He was ashamed of us James. We can't keep on yelling like this, Remus and Sirius don't trust us as it is. I know we have our differences but can't they wait?"

"They can. I'm sorry for yelling at you." James paused. "I know a way to make it better."

Lily looked at him, "Oh, how's that?" James leaned closer to Lily and snogged her deeply.

Remus and Sirius where back into the kitchen talking to Harry. Harry wasn't saying anything. He didn't understand it if his parents loved each other, then why the fighting?

"Harry, anything wrong?" Sirius asked after he didn't say anything.

"It's just that, if they love each other then why do they fight? I thought you said they loved each." Harry said quietly, looking down.

"Harry, they do love each other. The thing is, they both have tempers that go off at the same time. They always make it up in the end, but sometimes it takes a little while to get to that point." Sirius said looking down at his godson.

Harry nodded and said he had to talk to Ron, Hermione and Ginny. Once they were out of eye range, Ginny squeezed up to Harry before Ron and Hermione could.

"Harry, don't worry about that. Parents always fight once in a while, it's nothing." Ginny said off handedly.

Harry smiled and walked with Ginny in silence. Ron and Hermione looked at each other and smirked. By the time they got up to Harry and Ron's room, they had a plan to get Harry smiling again but Ginny had to agree or it won't work.

When they closed the door Harry sat on the bed looking at his friends. Right now he needed them. Right now their friendship couldn't falter.

"Will you help me with something?" Harry asked looking at each and everyone one of his friends.

They looked confused and Hermione asked, "With what Harry?"

Still looking at them he explained about needing to go to Potter Palace. How Fred and George gave him something to help them, but doubted it will work. It would be too small to get everyone to go in the same spot.

"We need something bigger, something everyone will go to." Harry ended. He was pacing by now, trying to figure every corner he could see. "I'm sure Fred and George will help, because they did the same thing…"

"Harry, we can't! Sirius would-" Hermione protested.

"-wouldn't mind Hermione!" Harry finished Hermione's protest. "He's never liked this house. You know that. Haven't you seen this place? Haven't you looked around? Haven't you seen the unhappy look when he's here? I've looked at his photo before he went to Azkaban, he was healthy looking, not dead! He needs to get out of here before he runs away or break free!

"All I'm asking is your help. I haven't seen my home. My home. You don't know how that feels to know you have a home you can go to. One that doesn't have abusive uncles and cousins; one that I can call my home. If I could see it, only for a minute, I'll know its one place I can call home."

"We'll help you mate." Ron said. "We're right behind you."

Harry smiled and started planning. Ron and Ginny were very helpful with the strategizing, and Hermione with the spells. Later Harry would say if they didn't help him, he wouldn't have gotten out of there.

It was well after a half hour of planning and snogging before Sirius wanted out again. Sirius loved to see James and Lily making out so he volunteered to while Remus went to get Harry, Ron, Hermione and Ginny.

Sirius tip toed over to the door and couldn't hear anything. He had to wait for the right moment before intruding. A few minutes later he didn't care anymore.

"Prongs, stop snogging Foxy and come out." Sirius called through the door.

"Stop calling me that Sirius!" Lily called out.

"Then come on out!"

There was no answer as the door opened. Sirius was surprised to see they looked the same when they went in there. He looked at them carefully but didn't say anything.

Remus walked up the stairs in thought. He knew of a mission Dumbledore wanted him to go on for the Order, but now how could he? How could he leave his friends now of all times?

He was so deep in thought that he went past the door while everyone was coming out. They agreed they would finish up their mission later.

"Remus, where are you going?" Harry asked him as he walked by.

"I was coming up to fetch you." Remus said, striving not to blush. He had to control his face when around his friends.

They walked down together in silence. James, Lily and Sirius were already there waiting with everyone trunks and cages.

"Are you ready?" James asked Harry.

"We're still going?" Harry asked surprised.

"Yes, why wouldn't we be?" James asked Harry in confusion.

"Er, no reason." Harry said quickly. He quickly made sure Hedwig was safely in her cage before looking at his parents. "How are we going there?"

James looked to Lily and asked, "Which way do you want to go?"

Lily looked at Harry then Sirius and Remus. "The fastest way is Floo, so I suppose that way."

James and Harry groaned as Lily looked at them sternly. "That's the fastest way besides a Port Key. I can ask Dumbledore if he could make one for us if you would like?"

"No, this way is fine!" Harry and James said quickly. They both hated Port Keys and Floo with a passion but would take Floo first any day.

Everyone went into the living room where a fire was burning. There was always a little stash of Floo powder on the mantle place in the Black house. James and Lily kept on glancing at Harry. Harry noticed this but didn't say anything.

They stopped at the fireplace. No one said anything as the realization hit them all. The Potter family is finally whole; they have Sirius back, and they're going to see Potter Palace. Harry's heart was beating faster and faster every second he stared at the fire. Everything he's ever wanted was right here. A family that will not fail him, friends that will always be there for him, no matter what, and a home to come to at the end of the day.

Harry smiled as he looked up to his parents. This is what he always wanted: to be normal.
