James, Lily, and Sirius all sat down on the couches in the Head Dorm. It was somewhat awkward at first, because everyone got really quiet and were thinking about what they just heard.
James kept staring at his son with a mixture of awe and pride.
Harry looked up to see James looking at him. He shifted uncomfortably under the intense gaze, and gave him a small smile. Like Harry, himself, it seemed James took a long time to gather trust.
'You twolook so much alike.' Lily said, looking from boyfriend to Harry.
Harry gave a nervous chuckle and reverted his eyes to something else.
James simply smiled. Soon, his smile turned into a small chuckle... and then to a non-stop attack of laughter. Eventually, Sirius began laughing when James looked at him. Sirius was on the floor crying and clutching a stitch in his side. James was coughing because his laughter got caught in his throat. Lily and Harry looked at each other as if to say 'They are insane' and they both gave a weak chuckle.
'What's so funny?' Harry asked them.
Sirius and James looked at each other again, and burst into uncontrollable fits of laughter.
'Stop laughing, or I will make you stop!' Lily said, pointing her wand at Sirius, who immediately straightened up and did a salute to Lily. James was silently shaking in a fit behind her back. This made Sirius crack a smile and start crying again, because he was trying to hold it in.
'Did you hit them with a tickling curse?' Lily asked Harry. He shook his head no.
'It's - It's just,' Sirius began. 'That if someone told us that you and Prongs got married and had a kid, a week ago, I would've called St. Mungo's.' Sirius, said, falling to the floor rolling in laughter.
Lily began smiling and giggling. 'That's true.' She said shrugging.
Harry smiled at them all. The laughter was loosening them all up again.
After all giggling subsided, James looked at Harry. 'Are you going to stay with us or go back to your time?' He asked, hoping he would stay.
'I - I'm not sure...' Harry said, not knowing what would happen if he stayed... which he desperately wanted to do.
'You can stay for at least a little while.' Lily insisted, she wanted to hear all about his... and her life.
'Yeah, I suppose I can stay until I need to go... I'm not sure when that is.' Harry said shrugging.
'So tell me Harry, do you have a girlfriend?' James asked him.
'I - uh... I... no.' Harry said, feeling like he let his dad down. He knew he was a big ladies man.
'No one you're interested in?' Lily asked curiously.
'I sorta like this girl...' Harry mumbled awkwardly.
'What's her name?' James asked immediately.
'Ginny... Weasley. But... uh... she's one year younger than me...' Harry said uncomfortably.
'That doesn't matter, what does she look like?' Sirius asked.
'Uhhh... sorta like mum...' Harry said, now noticing this.
'Does she like you back?' Lily asked, glad her son had some good taste.
'I think... She used to be obsessed with me in first year, but now she's just normal... I can't tell if she likes me or not.' He said, reddening in the face.
'I can't wait to catch up to you're time... we're going to have a lot of fun, right Padfoot?' James asked him, wiggling his eyebrows up and down.
'This is so weird...' Harry mumbled.
'Why?' Lily questioned.
'I thought I would never get to see you guys... or Sirius... ever again. I only know you from a few pictures...' Harry said feeling as if life couldn't get better.
'Just a few pictures?' James asked.
'Which ones?' Lily asked.
'Uh... the one where you're dancing in the fall with leaves all around you, and I think that it was in Hogsmeade. And, you're wedding photos.' Harry answered to them both. They looked confused.
'I don't think we've done any of those things... yet.' James said.
'Wedding photos... I wanna see those.' Lily said, sounding interested.
James looked considerably happier. He caught Harry's eye when Lily looked away and mouthed 'Thank you'. Harry laughed.
'Will I get to see Moony?' Harry asked him.
'You know our nicknames? Awesome...' Sirius said happily.
'Yeah, one sec.' James said. He pulled a mirror out of his pocket and said in it, 'Moony.' The other boy appeared in the other mirror.
'Hey Prongs, what's up?' He asked.
'Meet us in the Head dorm. Bring the girls if you see them.' He told him.
'Will do... see ya.'
James put the mirror away.
'So you know Moony?' He asked him.
'Yeah, he taught Defense Against the Dark Arts in my third year... that's when I met him and he told me all about you guys. He also taught me how to make my Patronus.' Harry said smiling.
'You can do a Patronus? I can never get it down!' Lily said in awe.
'Yeah...' Harry said, a little uncomfortably.
'Well, let's see it then!' Sirius said happily.
'Alright,' Harry said standing up.
He thought of his parents together with him as a family, and Sirius standing with them and everyone being happy, with no Voldemort. 'Expecto Patronum!' He bellowed loudly. Out of his wand came a large white and beautiful stag.
Harry watched it come near him and stand next to him.
He looked up to see James and Sirius standing there watching it in awe.
'That is... wicked!' James said admiringly.
'Prongs, it's just like you!' Sirius said happily.
James shot a warning look to Sirius and a look of horror.
'What?' Lily asked look suspiciously at both of them.
It then hit Harry that Lily didn't know about their animagus forms yet.
'Uhh...' James mumbled not sure what to say.
'It looks like you?' She asked him looking a little like a balloon about to pop.
'I meant Harry looks like James, Lily, you know that...' Sirius said, trying to cover up his blunder.
'No... no... James...tell me now.' Lily said looking at him fiercly.
'I uh... I uh...' He shot a look at Sirius, who sullenly nodded. If they didn't tell Lily now, she would just figure it out on her own, and James would be in worst trouble.
'I... am...' He took a deep breath and dropped his head. 'I am an unregistered animagus... we all are.' He told her, finally looking up into her hurt eyes.
'Oh... Uh, why didn't you tell me?' She asked sadly, trying to hold in her tears.
'I couldn't... the contract... and Remus... he - it's his secret.' James said, feeling bad that he was making Lily cry.
'I say screw that contract! Your nickname... Prongs... I should've known... you went 'stag' for the dance, I saw you by the lake, you know... you can get bitten by Remus, yet you don't turn into one, you're an animal...' Lily said looking at him disappointedly.
'I'm really, really sorry Lily.' He began apologizing.
'Save it.' She said, and she went up into her room to lay down.
'Shit...' James said angrily.
'I'll talk to her...' Harry said, getting up to go up to her room.
James watched Harry walk up and lightly knock on the door.
'GO AWAY POTTER!' She shouted loudly.
'Double shit.' James winced at her angry voice and the old familiar word.
'Prongs... I'm really sorry, I shouldn't have said anything at all and I screwed - ' Sirius began talking.
'Shut up, please Padfoot... it's not just your fault... it's all of ours...' James said quietly.
'Please let me in, it's Harry.' Harry said through the door.
He heard it magically unlock and he cautiously walked in.
'Do you think I'm allowed to forgive him?' She asked Harry sadly. Her face had tears swimming all over.
'I think so... I mean, he did it for a friend. He did it for care and love, not because he's greedy. Lupin really appreciates the fact that him and Sirius did that for him... you're allowed to be a little upset that he didn't tell you, but still, you love him don't you? So, what's the point of being angry at him?' Harry asked her sensibly. Lily shrugged her shoulders.
'I guess I do get a little mad at the things he did... but it was in the past. I'm just afraid...' Lily said, looking around the room.
'Afraid of what?' Harry asked her.
'Because I'm afraid I might just be another chick to him. The ones that mean nothing... and I'll give my heart to him, but then get it ripped out so easily. I just don't know.' Lily said sadly.
'That's not true... you're not. He loves you alright... he loves you enough to marry you. And enough to stay with you when I was born...' Harry told her. He continued, 'Enough to die for you...'
'Did he really die for me... like he stood infront of me?' Lily asked.
'He and Voldemort dueled and he gave you time to run... the last words he told you was that he loved you and to take me and run.' Harry answered, watching his mum contemplate her decision.
'If he died for you, gave his life for you in the future... do you think you can forgive him for helping out a friend?' Harry asked her.
'Yeah... I think so.' She answered.
'Then go and tell him that.' Harry told her.
Lily got up and hugged her son. 'I'm glad I will have a smart kid.' She said with a smile.
He followed her out and walked down the stairs where they saw James cuss himself out on the couch.
'James.' Sirius said to him.
'Shut up Padfoot... Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit... stupid, idiot... Damnit...'
'No Lily is right behind you.' He told him. James jumped up and turned around. Lily was standing right there, tear-stained cheeks, but smiling.
'I forgive you.' She said to him.
The three simple words made James alive again. He grabbed onto her and began kissing her for dear life. Lily kissed him back and laughed as he put his hands on her hips.
'You guys... please?' Harry groaned.
They stopped and looked much happier.
'Will you show me?' Lily asked him.
'Yeah.' James said, he was about to transform, but the door opened up and Remus, Faye, and Michelle entered the room.
'Later.' He told her.
'Hey, you said you wanted us?' Lupin asked, eyeing the new guy in the room, who looked amazingly enough, exactly like his James.
'Yeah, sit down, we have a few things to talk about.' James said to them. They did as he said, and were waiting for them to explain.
