Disclaimer: Yep. We know. We don't own the world of Harry Potter.
Sploogal: I wish we did though, because then, I could nick off with a time-
turner, and go back to James' time, and kiss that hot spunk!
Garden Gnome: And why would you wanna do that? He's ugly!
Sploogal: I have a file, and I'm not afraid to use it. Death to James-
haters!
Garden Gnome: Eep!
Chapter seventeen
Sirius tapped on the already open door.
"James, can we come in?"
Sirius, Remus, and Yvonne entered the room when Lily nodded to them.
"What's up?"
James simply groaned and gave Sirius the letter, which he read aloud.
"Dear Mr Potter, We are sorry to inform you that Harold and Evelyn Potter were killed in action last night whilst fighting against a group of death-eaters. They will be sorely missed. Your brother, Orion Potter, has been informed, and has agreed, as your only living relative, to take care of you until you come of age. Deepest sympathies, Alastor Moody Department of Magical Law Enforcement"
The resulting silence was broken by Sirius' shout.
"THE BASTARDS!!!"
He kicked the bed "Yeow!" and hopped around the room, clutching his toe in both hands.
The group burst into nervous laughter. (Garden Gnome: Yes, there it is again. Sploogal: Quit with the bursting already!) Even James smiled weakly.
"Thanks Sirius. Thanks guys," He whispered.
James got up, crossed the room, and entered the bathroom, locking the door securely behind him. The other four pressed their ears up against the door, but all that could be heard was complete silence.
(Sploogal: *Sniff sniff* I feel so awful now. We shouldn't have done that. Poor James, the god of hotness!)
That afternoon, Sirius, Remus, Lily and Yvonne were sitting around the table, unsure of what to say to each other, or to James, who was standing just inside the doorway. The fire roared, and out stepped Orion. His eyes roamed the room, finally landing on the figure in the doorway.
"James," he croaked.
In two strides, Orion had covered the room, and he threw his arms around his brother. The two stood silently, for what seemed like forever, with tears coursing silently down both brothers' cheeks.
Two 'pop's announced Mandy and Michael Lupin's arrival. They immediately went to sit on the couch in the middle of the room. They were followed by two more 'pop's, and Orion and Juliette Black. (Orion Potter was named after Orion Black, who was Harold Potter's best friend. To prevent any confusion, we'll call Orion Potter, Rion, and Orion Black, Ori, or Mr Black. Ok?)
After a short and quiet discussion, it was decided that Remus and his parents would accompany Lily and Yvonne home, while James, Rion, Ori, Sirius, and Juliette would return to the Black's house for the afternoon.
A/N More coming soon.
