(A/N: I just couldn't stop typing. Sorry, no hippogriffs like I promised in the last chapter but some thing more dangerous and destructive. Read and Review)
The Sun rose, but it could not be seen by Ron as he woke up. His stomach was rumbling ever since last night and he completely regretted breaking up with Hermione for a stupid reason like Viktor Krum. He rubbed his throbbing head and looked at the rest. Jason and Audrey were awake, both of them noticed Ron, they smiled and said in unison, "Good morning."
Ron nodded and noticed that Sirius wasn't with them, or with him. A tree started to scream and Ron had a sudden feeling of Déjà vu. Jason gasped and Audrey screamed and they closed their eyes as Sirius jumped out. Ron's eyes widened and he immediately shielded them.
"Sirius, pull your pants up!" Ron yelled.
"There is still a female here, you know!" Audrey said, still covering her eyes.
"Sorry," Ron heard Sirius said.
"What happened, mate?" Ron said.
"Déjà vu," he heard Sirius say. "It's okay, now."
Ron slowly put his hands down and opened his eyes. Jason and Audrey followed after. "You still have the cream, right?" Ron said.
"Umm, no," Sirius said uncomfortably as he started to scratch his butt. "I left it in Hermione's bag."
Ron completely gave up. "Where is the shortest route to Bulgaria from here?" he muttered.
"Over there," Jason said pointing to a sign that said, 'Bulgaria, 100 kilometres.'
"Where do these signs come from?" Ron asked.
"Well, let's go then," Sirius said. "Looks like breaking up wasn't a good idea after all."
"Shut up," Ron muttered as he walked in the sign's direction. Sirius, Jason and Audrey shrugged and followed him. "One hundred miles, honestly," Sirius said.
Harry and the gang…
"So," Harry said. "How drunk was I last night, anyway?"
"Very drunk," Lily said.
"Extremely drunk," James said.
"As drunk as a sailor on a Saturday night," Remus said.
"Don't exaggerate," Harry said, laughing.
"You were commenting an imaginary Draco Malfoy about his bikini," Hermione said.
"I take my last comment back," Harry said.
"Draco Malfoy?" James said. "I thought he was talking to Lucius Malfoy."
"Lucius Malfoy was in Hogwarts the same time you were?" Hermione asked.
"Unfortunately," Remus muttered.
"So, that boy we attacked the other day, was his son?" Lily said.
"Yes," Harry said.
"I saw the resemblance," James muttered. "Same hair, same eyes, same personality and I swear he was wearing the same clothes."
"The Malfoys never wear hand-me-downs," Harry said. "Or do they?"
"I don't think so," Remus said. "I saw the words D.M. on his robe collar."
"That certainly doesn't stand for Lucius Malfoy," James muttered.
"So, anyway," Harry said. "Why did you torment Snape?"
"Ah, the good old days," James said. "Actually I did it because it-"
"Was more the reason that he exists," Harry finished for him.
"How did you know that I would say that?" James asked.
"I kinda," Harry muttered. "Looked on to a Pensieve containing his inner most secrets."
"What memory did you see?" James asked.
"The one after your Defence Against the Dark Arts O.W.L examinations," Harry said.
"Yes," James said. "As I remember, you hated me at that time, Lily."
"You were always showing off," Lily muttered.
"So, did you really take Snape's pants off?" Harry asked, curiosity taking over him.
Remus had burst out laughing and was holding his stomach to prevent him falling down. "The best day of my life," James said, laughing along with him.
"Don't remind me," Lily said.
"So, you did?" Harry asked.
"Didn't you see?" James asked in between laughs.
"I was brought out from the memory before I could see," Harry said. "Not to mention, I almost got murdered by Snape."
"Well, he did," Lily said. "Anyway, I didn't know Snape had a crush on Narcissa Black."
"What?" Hermione said. "Narcissa Black?"
"The most embarrassing day for both, Snape and Narissa," Lily said. "When James apparently saw the words 'I Love Narcissa Black' on the back of Snape's bright pink underpants. She slapped him on the face, she did. Disgusting thing to do anyway."
"Well, Lily," James said. "How would you know I don't have you name written on my clothes?"
"Because if I find out that you do," Lily said. "I would curse you to Oblivion, Potter."
James hastily took off the tie that he was wearing and quickly stuffed it in his pocket.
"Why did you take off that tie, Potter," Lily asked, looking at James closely.
"Umm…Uhh," James stammered.
"Get me a picture of Oblivion, dad," Harry said.
Lily snatched the tie from James's pocket and scanned it. She looked at the back and she frowned.
"Shield your eyes, Hermione," Remus said. "This is going to get very ugly."
"Lily Evans is the hottest babe in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I wonder how she would look like in a bikini," Lily read aloud. "Call the undertaker, Potter, and maybe a lawyer if you live."
"Lily, my good friend, girlfriend and maybe future wife," James said taking a few slow steps backwards. "You know I didn't mean to write that. It was there ever since, umm, our first year. Yeah, that's right, our first year. I was an exaggerating fool when I was my first year. I wrote that with a very magical type of ink, I couldn't get it off when I tried. Please don't hurt me!"
"Rest in Peace, James Potter, a good friend and a great pain in the ass," Lily said to herself. "I think that will suit as a good article in the Obituary, Potter."
"Can someone, please, help me!" James said.
"Sorry, but you are a destined dead man," Remus said.
"Stop being a smart ass and get this lunatic away from me," James muttered.
"So," Lily said, grabbing James arm in a vice like grip. James winced. "I'm a lunatic, now?"
"Didn't mean it like that, Lily," James said. "Please let go. Lily- Oh my gosh." James's eyes were widened in shock and his mouth was hanging open.
"What?" Lily said.
"This can't possibly be happening," Remus said, back away.
"Goodness," Hermione gasped.
"Can someone tell me," Lily said, turning around. "What-" Lily stopped in mid-sentence as she saw the horrifying beast.
"It's," James said.
"It's," Lily said.
"It's," Remus said.
"GIANT!" Harry yelled.
A twenty foot giant was standing right in front of them, they could see its feet a mile away, hidden by a few trees. Its face was directed to the group as it heard Harry yell. Its eyes widened in excitement and its mouth began to drool. It said a mixture of grunts and roars which echoed through the forest.
"Uh, guys. I don't speak giant, but I think it wants to eat us," James said.
"You think?" Lily said.
The giant gave another roar and advanced clumsily towards them.
James gave a girl-like squeal. "RUN!" Remus yelled.
All of them quickly turned around and all of them began running and stumbling towards the edge of the forest. James stopped and looked around. Lily was standing, frozen with fear. "Lily! Come on if you want to live!" James yelled but Lily didn't seem to have heard him.
The giant raised an enormous hand, attempting to smash Lily. There was a loud thunder like crash, James was thrown back a few feet and dust was flying everywhere. "LILY!" he yelled scrambling to his feet. The dust cleared away, the giant seemed to have missed and had smashed an oak tree, ten feet away from Lily, who was knocked back and was lying on the ground, still frozen with fear.
The giant raised its hand one more time and carefully aimed. It seemed content and its hand began to make its way to the ground. At the same time, James made a run to Lily. The giant's hand was halfway down, James grabbed Lily but she saw too heavy. He dragged her a few feet, the giant's hand was only sixteen feet from them and growing faster by the second. He didn't know what to do. He held Lily tightly, braced for impact, braced for his death. He looked up one more time, one last time, everything was like it was going in slow motion, he breathed in his last breath, the giant's hand was closely approaching, he could count all the wrinkles on it. He closed his eyes and held Lily tighter. The giant's hand was only a few feet away.
James heard someone yell in the distance but he didn't care, he was a dead man. He felt Lily move and gasp for air. The giant's hand was a feet away. He regretted the day he tried to grab Lily's Time Turner, putting his future son in danger, putting him and his friends in danger. He could almost hear Heaven's doors opening for him. For him and Lily. Goodbye cruel world! James thought.
CRASH!
The giant's hand hit the ground and roared triumphantly. Hermione and Remus's faces were hidden behind their hands. They didn't dare to look and see what they mostly feared.
