Hey! I'm glad so many of you like it! I really liked this chapter, it really gets funny. The next chapter, too.
ON WITH THE STORY!
---------------------------
Harry smiled. For the first time that he could remember he was hugging his mother. (Yes it was when she was 17 and very attractive, but it was still his mother.) The two separated.
"Thanks, and it's okay," assured Harry.
"No it's not, I know if it were my parents I don't know what I'd do!" exclaimed Lily, Harry smiled.
Mrs. Weasley finally spoke up. "Is anyone hungry?" she asked, this got the attention of all the boys and mostly everyone else.
"Starving!" exclaimed Harry sitting down next to James.
"Yes, with the way those muggles treat you I believe that," said Mrs. Weasley making food appear on everyone's plates, they dug in quickly.
"Muggles?" asked Lily, "What muggles?"
"I live with Aunt Petunia, Uncle Vermon and their son Dudley - a regular pig in a wig," answered Harry with a laugh.
"Petunia?" asked Lily skeptically. "She treats you good, right? She's always been jealous of me ever since I got my letter."
Harry, Ron and Hermione all exchanged looks. "Well . . . " they all began.
"Well, what?" asked Lily.
"They are without a doubt the worst muggles to ever walk the earth," answered Lupin.
"Yeah, they made Harry sleep in the closet under the stairs," said Ron finally. "They didn't want him to come to Hogwarts either."
"What!" exclaimed James and Lily, outraged.
"I swear, the next time I see her I'm hexing her into the next century!" exclaimed Lily.
James smiled. "Mind if I join you, my love?" he asked, Lily shot him a dirty look.
"Enough about that rubbish," said Mrs. Weasley. "This is supposed to be a fun time, Harry can finally ask his parents anything. Let's not ruin it talking about those muggles," she said.
James turned to Harry. "So are you on the Quidditch team?" he asked.
Before he could answer Lily spoke. "Please Potter, that's the first thing you ask him. Why not ask what his favorite class is or what he likes to do," she said raising an eyebrow.
"I will, after I find out if he plays Quidditch. I want him to take after more than just my looks," boasted James, Lily rolled her eyes as he turned back to Harry.
"Yeah, I'm the Seeker," answered Harry.
"He's been on the team since first year, the youngest in a century!" exclaimed Ron. "And I'm Keeper."
"But I thought first years couldn't even have their own brooms," said Remus.
"Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore bent the rules for him there," answered Fred.
"That's great!" exclaimed Sirius. "I bet he's even better than you, James."
James shot him an evil look.
"Yes Harry, I have something to tell you and this seems like as good as time as any," said Dumbledore turning to Harry. "You have been selected as the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain." Harry's eyes widened.
"Really Professor?" asked Harry, shocked.
"Yes Harry, and you have your work cut out for you," said Dumbledore, his eyes twinkling as always. "Only you, Ron and Miss Katie Bell are still on the team. You have to have try-outs as soon as possible." Harry nodded and James patted him on the back.
"Captain! That's brilliant!" he exclaimed.
Lily rolled her eyes. "It is great, I just hope you don't always have your head in the clouds like James," she said, "You do have to focus on your grades and not just Quidditch."
Hermione threw her hands up in the air. "Finally! Some one who understands!" she exclaimed, "Told you Harry."
Harry stuck his tongue out at Hermione.
James glared at Lily. "Hey, I get good grades," he defended. "Just 'cause I didn't get 10 O.W.L.s doesn't mean I'm not smart."
Snape laughed. "I find that very hard to believe, Potter," he sneered.
"Oh yeah Mr. I-almost-blew-up-the-potions-room-'cause-I-was-jealous-of-Lily-getting-praise-from-the-teacher!" pointed out James in a nagging tone, Snape flushed as the table erupted into laughter.
"Watch yourself, Potter," he threatened.
"Ooooooo, I'm shaking in my boots, Snivellius," said Sirius. "Right Moony?"
"Snivellius?" echoed all the teens, save Harry who had already heard this name before. They all burst out laughing.
"What Snivi, you haven't told anyone about your nickname?" mocked James.
"Now, now, let's stop this," said Mr. Weasley, however he was trying to stop his laughter as well.
The rest of the dinner continued with lots of conversation and laughter. That is, till the end of it.
"So Professor Dumbledore," started Lily, "How long is it going to take to create the time traveling potion?" she asked, she was getting worried about this. All she had was the clothes on her back, and her wand, of course.
"Well Miss Evans, I'm afraid it's going to take some time," answered Dumbledore, "Definitely more than a week which is when school is staring up again, so I was planning for you four to come to Hogwarts with us. You can take classes as well."
"But Professor, isn't it going to be odd to see the teenage version of three dead people, one of which is still believed to me a murderer and a previous teacher who every believes to be a 'dangerous' werewolf?" asked Hermione.
"Yes it will be a bit odd, but we've had odder in Hogwarts," said Dumbledore. "It won't matter much to you four," he turned to the Marauders and Lily, "because we will erase your memories so the students can't do much. We'll have to manage the best we can."
"What year is Harry and his friends starting?" asked Lily.
"Sixth, I know you all just started your seventh but I think it's best if you took the sixth year classes so you know the people in those classes," explained Dumbledore. He looked at his watch, which had no hands but seemed to make sense to him. "Now if you will excuse me and Severus, we must be going. I have to tell Professor McGonagall of our newest students." Him and Snape stood up and walked to the door.
As if on some sort of unspoken agreement, all the teens looked at each other and smiled. They all turned to Snape and shouted, "Goodbye Snivellius!" (Yes, even Lily and Hermione.) Snape flinched, turned back to them shooting them all an evil look then continued out the door. (Dumbledore followed him chuckling.)

After they cleared the table the Marauders, Lily and the Golden trio walked upstairs and to Ron and Harry's bedroom. Harry collapsed on his bed and sighed. "It's nice to be back here and not at the Dursleys," he said.
Lily started muttering unmentionable words under her breath about her sister. James heard a few choice words and exclaimed, "Wow Evans, I didn't even know you knew those words!"
Hermione conjured a big couch for everyone, besides Ron and Harry who were sitting on their beds, to sit on. A few minutes later Ginny walked into the room and stood in front of Harry's bed with her hands on her hips.
"You know, you never greeted me," she said smiling.
"Oops, I forgot," said Harry rubbing the back of his neck, "You try meeting you 17 year old parents." He stood up and kissed Ginny lightly on the lips.
Sirius started laughing for some unexplained reason. "What's so funny?" asked Ginny turning to Sirius, "Can't a guy kiss his girlfriend?"
Sirius shook his head still laughing, "No, nothing like that," he stopped laughing and continued, "It looks like Potter men have a thing for red heads."
Harry turned to Ginny then to Lily and sighed. "I guess you have a point there," she said to Sirius.
"Sirius, why do you point these things out? How do you even notice small things like this?" asked Lily putting her arms over her chest.
"Hey I'm just saying, it's kind of hard to miss it," said Sirius, "And I'll prove it, Harry and Ginny stand next to each other and same with you and James."
The four did as they were told and all the people in the room started laughing. It was like a mirror image. Both Harry and James looked like each other while Ginny and Lily had similar features. For one they both did have the same color hair the same length, they were just about the same height (Ginny was shorter by about three inches), and they both had a temper that could kill.
Harry and Ginny sat down on Harry's bed, (get your heads out of the gutter!) while James and Lily sat back down on the couch.
"Yeah, well that doesn't mean Ginny and Harry are getting married any time soon," muttered Ron.
Harry smirked at Ron. "What a wonderful idea Ron!" He jumped of the bed and leaned on one knee facing Ginny. "Ginny Weasley, will you marry me?" said Harry in a very fake acting voice, everyone but Ron laughed.
"I would love to!" she exclaimed.
"Ha ha, very funny you two," said Ron dryly.
"You got to admit, Ginny Potter has a very nice ring to it and you'd be related to Harry," said Ginny after Harry sat down next to her.
"Yes it's the same way with me and Lily," said James putting an arm around Lily. "Lily Potter, I do so love that. What about you dear?" he asked smiling.
Lily smiled and moved James' hand off her shoulder. "I don't think so Potter, just like Lupin said, I don't start going out with you until after the Hogsmeade trip I agreed to," said Lily, "So it must mean you do something to impress me, and by that I don't mean being good at something."
James skulked for a moment then smiled again. "But you do admit you like the name Lily Potter, right?"
Lily crossed her arms over he chest and pouted. "Why must you make this so difficult?" Everyone laughed at this.
"I think this is going to be the most interesting year by far," said Ron leaning back.
For the rest of the night, until midnight when Mrs. Weasley came up ordering them all to go to sleep, the group told Sirius, Remus, James and Lily about their past five years at Hogwarts. The Marauders were happy that Harry and Ron followed in their footsteps; Lily however told Harry that he was even more of a troublemaker than James. Harry replied like this:
"But it was all for a good cause!"
