Chapter nineteen: You Just Never Know

"We're screwed! SCREWED I tell you!" James exclaimed as he jumped on his bed, as though it might help the situation (It didn't). As usual Remus was the only calm (and sane), one among them.

"Everyone! Throwing our toys isn't going to help anything! James! Get off your bed, Peter put the comfort food away and Sirius get your thumb out of you mouth!" Remus turned to Harry, "And Harry, please stop rocking back and forth like that. It's rather depressing..."

Harry looked up and nodded before getting to his feet. Sirius watched Harry with sad eyes, Remus caught him,

"Sirius, Harry isn't dying of cancer-"

"HARRY'S DYING OF CANCER!" James shouted incredubously, "First a time travel disaster and now this-"

Remus sighed in frustration,

"I said; it's not like he's dying of cancer-"

"But you said 'cancer', you don't say 'cancer' in times like these! It's like saying 'bomb' on an aeroplane-"

"And as fascinating as that is, maybe we should focus on more important things. Like Harry?"

At the mention of his name Peter whimpered, James wailed and Sirius stuck his thumb back in his mouth. Remus felt he was surrounded by two year olds.

"If only Lily would believe in Harry! Then we could fix time up!" James moaned.

Remus shook his head,

"Maybe that's why you should think twice before pulling pranks so Lily will fall madly in love with you. Which, I might add never work."

James frowned,

"What do you mean?"

"Well does 'Chinese exchange student' ring a bell?"

James looked away,

"No..."

"What did you do?" Harry asked, rolling his eyes. James continued to look the other way. "Dad...?"

"In my defense I didn't tell him to say she'd still have a nice rack after children!"

"What did you say!"

"Son! I do not appreciate these questions! If you don't desist, I shall...Cut your allowance!"

"What! I don't have an allowance!"

"Well, we don't want to go into negatives now do we...?'

An hour later of mindless twaddle...

"...So I said, 'hey dude, I can't help that your girlfriend finds me more attractive-'"

James and Sirius glanced over at Remus, who was still moaning in his sleep.

"I still think we should wake him..." Harry said, 'He's my best chance of getting out of here...'

"Nah, he always needs naps during his time of the month," Sirius yawned."

James sighed,

"He looks so peaceful."

Remus growled and rolled off his bed, knocking over the books on time travel he had studying.

Harry shook his head,

"Yea...Really peaceful...Well, guys I'm going to go out for a bit..."

Sirius sat up,

"Why? Harry, if you're going to get stuck here then you can do that another night...I mean stay here until Remus wakes up and has had some amazing dream and he now knows what to do..."

"What?" Harry look confused.

Sirius thought,

"Wait, that came out wrong...Let me start again..."

Harry Exents (A/N Sorry! Couldn't resist, I'm studying shakespeare at school...)

Harry stood in a dark corridor. He was upset like any stuck-in-a-your-parents-school-years kid would be, he kicked the wall in frustration, he wanted to go home. He loved the fact that he finally got to meet his parents, but he didn't belong here...

"What did the wall ever do to you?" A voice softly murmored from behind him. Harry jumped and spun around, Lily smiled at him, "So what's the problem?"

Harry threw his back against the wall and allowed himself to slide down the wall until he was seated,

"You wouldn't understand."

Lily sat down beside him,

"I could try..."

"Well, actually you wouldn't believe me either."

"Harry, a problem shared is a problem halved."

"Oh it's been shared and it hasn't helped," Harry replied gloomily.

"C'mon Harry, try me."

Harry looked into Lily's eyes, that mirrored his and sighed,

"Lily, I'm from the future, James wasn't lying. You and James are my parents and tonight Dumbledore is going to try and send me home. Only that's not going to work! Because I've come in and ruined everything, you now hate James more than ever! I can't go back to the future! I have no future to go back to!"

Lily stared at him,

"Are you high?"

Harry dropped his head into his hands,

"I knew you wouldn't believe me, you didn't believe James..."

"That's because James is an asshole..."

Harry jumped up,

"See! This is why I have no future!"

"Harry, sit down."

"Yes Lily."

Lily looked him up and down, but for the first time as a mother,

"You're a little weedy."

"Thanks." Harry said sarcastically.

Lily grabbed him into a hug,

"It's weird when your son is the same age as you..."

"You believe me?"

"I'm a very accepting person. Oh and Dumbledore told me an hour ago..."

Harry shrugged,

"What good it's done, I mean you still hate Dad."

Lily looked sadly at Harry,

"Harry, don't worry! You'll get back to the future safely! Plus, I trust my own judgement. If my future self grows to like James Potter and as a result marries, surely my past self should get over her grudge and try to find out what the fuck I was thinking!"

Harry laughed,

"Um...Okay...But how's that going to help me tonight?"

Lily heaved herself up,

"I'm going to talk to your father..."
