Chapter 12 The Marauders Return to Hogsmeade.

James was about to begin explaining to Lilly about the Marauders were when Isildur interrupted him and said "Um sorry to interrupt you Mr. Potter, but its 1:00 in the morning and there's a Hogsmeade visit scheduled for tomorrow."

After that comment James suddenly became very parent like and told them all to go to bed and that he and Lilly would wake them in the morning. James suddenly realised what he had said and how he had said it.

He muttered to himself and Lilly, as they went up to the extra bedroom that Dumbledore had made, "Jeez I sounded like my father there, now that was scary." Then he begin to wonder if anything had changed in Hogsmeade since he was last there, was the three broomsticks still open, was Zonko's still there.

The next Morning James came into the 7th year boys Dormitory to wake Harry, Ron and Isildur. Well he was there some of the other boys woke up too and they were wondering who was this strange man who looked a bit like Harry, and what was he doing there? Harry realised that everyone there thought his father was dead. He quickly introduced James to everyone telling them that he was back from the dead. After that they all walked down to the great hall for Breakfast.

Lilly and James decided they would sit at the Grifindor table with Harry and his friends. Everyone in the Great Hall was wondering what exactly was going on here and who the two adults were sitting at the Grifindor table.

Dumbledore of course realised this and he stood up and said "Today we have some special guests with us here today, they arrived late last night and spent the night in there old house of Grifindor. They are Lilly and James Potter and they are of course Harry's parents."

Everyone of course was extremely shocked by this announcement hadn't Mr. and Mrs. Potter been dead for 15 years? Everyone then begin to think it's not possible they must be Deatheaters in disguise.

Dumbledore then spoke again "I would like to tell you all that they are defiantly not Deatheaters in disguise. I have personally verified it and Harry has verified it with a magical object which doesn't lie. I ask you to please not ask what it is as the makers of it wish to keep it a secret."

Lilly then turned to Harry and whispered "Is he talking about that map thing you had last night."

Harry looked at her and just said yes.

After Breakfast James led them all out of the castle he was just as excited as Harry was to be going back to Hogsmeade.

Lilly turned to him and said "James behave yourself; stop acting like your 13." James then got sensible again.

Lilly then asked him "So are you going to tell your wife what the Marauders Map is and who the Marauders are?"

James looked around and saw that it was more or less just him, Lilly, Harry, Ron, Herminie, Isildur, Sirius and Rumeus. He then begin to tell Lilly all about how the Marauders begin and who they had all become Animagui to help Rumeus. Then he told her what all there nicknames for each other were. He was of course Prongs, because he could turn into a stag, Sirius was called Padfoot as he turned into a large dog, Rumeus was called Moony because of his condition, and Peter Pettigrew was called Wormtail.

Then James asked "Hey what ever happened to him is he still with old voldy?"

The others looked at him as if he was crazy for referring to Voldemort as 'Old Voldy'.

Isildur then spoke up and said "I killed him a few months ago."

James looked at him in shock, and asked him if he was joking. Isildur looked back at him with a very solemn look on his face.

James looked back at him and said "Your not joking are you?"

Isildur replied to him "no I'm not Mr. Potter. I am very sorry that I killed someone who was a friend of yours, but I didn't intend to do it."

"Didn't intend to do it, then how did it happen,"

James said. Isildur then told the whole story to James and Lilly. They were completely horrified at how irresponsible he had been playing around with his wand/sword like that. James and Lilly told Isildur this and his response to them was "thanks, that's exactly what my parents said."

James and Lilly apologised for that.

They then continued on there way to Hogsmeade. When they got to were Zonko's was they stopped and were amazed at what they saw.

James then exclaimed "What happened to Zonko's and what's Weasly's Wizard Wheezes?"

Ron then explained about his older twin brothers. James looked to Sirius and Lupin and said "they sound like us when we were at Hogwarts, let's go and meant them."

So they all walked into the shop which was very crowded as was usually when the Hogwarts students came to visit.

James and the others begin looking around the shop when something interesting caught his eye. "Hey Padfoot, Moony come look at this," James called across the shop.

Sirius and Rumeus walked across the shop and asked " what's so interesting Prongs?"

As this was going on George was walking around making sure there was enough stock and that no one was knocking anything over and things like that. When James called for 'Padfoot and Moony' he suddenly remembered that name from somewhere and then he heard Professor Lupine's voice with someone else's call the first speaker prongs. George then realised where he rebreed those names and hr ran to find his brother Fred to tell him that the murders were here in there shop.

Harry was looking around for his father as he seemed to have gotten lost in the shop. Then Fred and George come up to them and said "Hey Harry, Ron, Herminie and ah who are you?" Harry realised they were referring to Isildur and he Introduced him the twins.

Fred responded with "Isildur that's from the Lord of the Rings right?"

Isildur was shocked this was the first non -muggle born who had know this other then the Teachers. He said "Yeah it is. How did you know that?"

Fred replied well I've read every one of them about twenty times over."

Ron was astonished by this he never even knew that Fred even had those books. Then Harry asked "what were you so anxious to tell us?"

Then George spoke up "Oh yeah the Murders are in our shop. You know the makers of the map."

Harry and the others just smiled at each other. Then Lilly walked over and asked "Harry have you seen your father, I hared him calling Sirius and Rumeus over but I'm not sure where they are?"

The twins looked shocked who was this woman and had she just said that Harry's father, who was supposed to be dead, was hear with Sirius Black and Professor Lupin?

They asked Harry "Um isn't your Father dead?"

Harry replied "Actually I just found out last night that he and my mother were in hiding for the last 15 years. Oh and this is my Mum" Then he introduced the twins to his mum.
