Chapter ten: James Finally Gets It

"You think I'm gay!" Harry exclaimed.

"Your not are you?"

Remus stopped banging his head against the wall long enough to say,

"No! And before you hex him again Prongs, let Harry tell you the truth..."

Harry shook his head, looking like a possum caught in the headlights,

"Remus...I don't think that's a good idea..."

Remus turned to face James,

"Prongs, Harry's your son-"

"My son? I don't have a son!"

"-From the future."

"What? That's just-I don't have a son!"

"James..." Remus said slowly, "You do in the future..."

"Harry? My son? My son? Moony, have you completely lost it! He has, hasn't he Harry?"

Harry hesitated,

"Actually I am-"

"OH MY GOD! You are my son!"

"Yea-"

"Come here son!" James grabbed him into a hug, "This is so weird!" James pushed Harry away from him so he could get a better look at him, "Why didn't I notice it before? You do have my startling good looks!" James gasped and hugged him again, "Who's the mother! Am I a solo father-Wait a second...Those eyes...Those eyes! That means...YES!" James lifted his wand and set off sparks and began jumping and down dancing under the large colourful banner saying:

I have a child with Lily Evans!

"James..."

"My son! I have a son with Lily! My son!"

"James...please stop dancing and smothering Harry."

"He's my son, Moony! Prongslet! He must be hugged!" He continued to dance with Harry. Remus waved his wand and the fireworks and banner disappeared,

"James! We can't stay here! C'mon, lets go to our dorm, before someone passes by and spots you hugging Harry. Who knows what they'll think..."


Later back in the dorm James, Remus and Harry sat on their beds. James and Remus fired questions at him,

"So, son. When did Lily and I get together?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know! You mean I didn't tell you! What kind of father am I!"

Harry shifted uncomfortably on his bed,

"Well...I guess I never asked..."

"What about me? Am I in your life at all?" Remus asked.

"Actually you are! You were my third year Defence against the Dark Arts teacher!"

"I was! Brilliant, but was anything about my err...health mentioned?"

"You resigned at the end of the year, because you were worried about parents reactions to you being a werewolf."

Remus winced as James nodded,

"Sounds like Moony, thinking about other people all the time. Now, did I age well?"

"I don't no, James..."

James suddenly jumped up,

"Could you call me Dad!"

"What?"

"Well, I'm your father, can you call me Dad?"

"Uh...Do you think that's a good idea Prongs?" Remus said raising an eyebrow.

"Oh. Right, keeping it quiet...Can I tell Lily?"

"No!"

"Sirius?"

"Sirius you really think telling Sirius is a good idea? The whole school will know in about a week!"

"Tell me what?"

All three of them spun around to see Sirius standing in the doorway.

"Harry's my son from the future!" James blurted excitedly. Remus smacked himself on the forehead.
