'Madame Pomphrey, we were just having some Quidditch practice, and someone must have bewitched his beater's bat to beat him upa little.' James tried to explain to the school nurse. It was the morning of, and Sirius was awake and in some major pain. His leg and ribs were still broken, but Lily healed all of his other wounds so that Poppy wouldn't ask questions.

'Honest Madame Pomphrey. James is telling the truth. I was up on my broom and my bat just swatted away. It made me fall off, and break my leg, and I think some ribs too... it hurts to talk and breathe.' Sirius said in a hoarse voice. He was playing along with James' lie so that Remus, asleep in the other bed, wouldn't get into much trouble. He was picked up in the Shrieking Shack in the morning by Poppy, who thought he just had a rough night and knocked himself out. She never put the two and two together with Sirius's injuries and Remus's also.

'Well, Mr. Potter, I must say, you did an excellent job wrapping his ribs, for he could've been in much worse pain if you hadn't. I suppose, out of your good deed of saving your friend, you may stay a few extra minutes.' Madame Pomphrey acknowledged him.

James turned red, knowing that it was Lily and not him who saved Sirius.

Lily was not in the hospital wing this morning, she was in the common room still, catching up on lost sleep. Luckily, this was the last day of school until break, and all classes were canceled.

'Actually, Madame Pomphrey, I need to see Professor Dumbledore. I can't stay any longer. Get well Padfoot. Flower and I will come down to pick up you and Mooney in an hour or two.' James called out, and before Poppy could protest about them getting Remus or Sirius, he was gone.

'OK, just ignore my judgement... you can take all my patients out whenever you want...' She mumbled irately.

'Oh, Madame Pom-Pom, James just wants us to get out of here before break is over... you see?' Sirius joked with her. 'And, quite frankly, I don't blame him... I want to get home too... I can't stay at Hogwarts too long.' He continued.

'Madame Pom-Pom! It's Madame Pomphrey to you, son. And, you need medical attention, so shush!' She said sternly... Madame Pom-Pom.. goodness where did this boy get his nicknames. He actually had a list he made up of nicknames.

Hogwart's Staff Nicknames By Sirius Orion Black

Prof. Dumbledore - Albus, or Dumbo

Prof. McGongall - Minnie

Prof. Slughorn - Fat Sluggy

Prof. Binns - Hoover, or Vacuum... for the sound he makes when he talks

Filch - Filthy Filch

Mrs. Norris - Soon-to-be Nearly Headless Norris

Madame Pomphrey- Madame Pom-Pom, or Madame Poppers

Hagrid - Hazard

As James walked to the Headmaster's office, he had a lot on his mind. He wondered if Lily and he skipped the train ride, what would happen to all the other students? And, Voldemort would also know that there was a leak in his plan... because they avoided boarding the train.

Soon, he reached the entrance, but not knowing the password he had to guess. 'Uh... Sugar Quills? Bertie Bott's Every Flavored Beans? Sherbert Lemon? Coconut Ice? Fizzing Whizbees? Droobles Best Blowing Bubble Gum?' That one did it! The gargoyle lept aside, and the staircase wound its way to James.

'I need to write a list of all of Honeyduke's supplies...' James mumbled to himself.

'That wouldn't be a bad idea Mr. Potter.' Dumbledore said, as he saw James come into his room.

'Hello Professor.' He said to him.

'Good day James? Well, I am curious... why did you ask to see me?' Albus asked him, as he motioned for James to sit opposite of him and his desk. He folded his long fingers and watched James' expression closely.

'I'm worried Professor,' James began, feeling uncannily like Lily did last night. 'This attack on the train station is supposed to happen tonight... then why is everyone else getting on the train?' He continued.

Dumbledore smiled. 'I see your concern, but do not think that I haven't thought it all through, James. Aurors will be in the train during the time of the attack. We are prepared. As for all the other kids on the train at the time, another Auror will be holding an emergency portkey, which will transport all children to the platform, to where their parents will be. You and Lily are obviously, the targets they wish to aquire, and will take a portkey from my office at seven tonight, and you will be taken directly to your house. I understand that Lily was to stay with Michelle, but I know the Johnson's quite well, and they coincidentally are leaving on the same trip your father will be taking... it is much safer for the two girls to be in your protected home.' Dumbledore explained to James.

'And - and all the other kids, you said, on the train, they will be alright?' James asked, concerned.

'I'm positive. We've got it all worked out. Just ask Remus, Sirius, Harry, Michelle, and Lily to come and meet me here with yourself at seven. I understand that Faye will be meeting up with you all later in the holidays.' Dumbledore told him.

'Yes, and thank you Professor.' James said, as he got up to leave the room.

'You're always welcome to come and ask questions if you are worried of something...' Dumbledore told him lastly.

'See you at seven.' James told him, and he closed the door to the Headmaster's office.

---

'Do you have all of the stuff you want to take?' James called out to Lily, as he ran about the Head's Common Room, looking for his money sack that was supposed to be in his trunk.

'Yes,' Lily said, while absentmindedly running a hand through her hair. 'Oh, James... here.' She put a red, velvet drawstring bag into his hand. It jingled, which meant that it was his bag of galleons.

'Thank you, where did you find it?' James asked her.

'In my trunk...' Lily said, and then she ran to pick up her book from the table in the living room, on animaguses so that if she wanted to, she could catch up on some reading when she got to James' house and all...

'Your trunk... I wonder how it got there?' James questioned... perhaps he mixed up both their trunks and put it in the wrong one.

Before they left, James sent the kitty that he was planning on giving to Lily to his house... particularly one of his house-elves with a note telling her to hide it in his bathroom in his room.

'James! Have seen my toothbrush!' Lily called out from her room.

'Don't worry about it... the house-elves can give you a new one when we get to my house!' James called back to her. He rolled his eyes at Harry who was sitting on his bed, reading a magazine.

'She worries about everything...' He said in an undertone to him.

Harry chuckled.

'James... what time is it!' Lily shouted again, while she grunted while she attempted to carry her trunk down the stairs.

'Uhhh... Six fifty... I think.' James said, looking at his watch.

'We have ten minutes until our portkey leaves with out us! Where is Remus, Michelle, and Sirius!' She called out aggravatedly. Then with a scream, she fell down the stairs because of the weight of her trunk.

James and Harry ran out of James' room and into the hall, with wands ready to attack. 'What is it!' He called out, but then stopped as soon as he saw Lily's trunk on top of her.

'Are you okay!' He asked her, and then lifted the enormous trunk off his girlfriend.

'Fine...' Lily said brushing herself off.

'You could've asked for help... Harry or I could've gotten it. Or you could have also used magic...' James muttered bemusedly.

'I know that now...' Lily growled in an annoyed voice.

'We're here!' Someone said elaborately in a sing song voice at the doorway... it was Sirius.

'Finally!' Lily snapped.

'We have like seven minutes to get to Dumbledore's office...' Michelle said, as she came into the doorway, her trunk following her, no doubt by a locomotor charm.

'Well, let's go then...' James said, as he cast the same charm on his and Lily's trunks. He smiled at Harry, took ahold of Lily's hand, and the group of eight set off.

---

'Five... Four... Three... Two... One...' James' counted off, while everyone held onto a alarm clock, now used as a portkey... which then transported them to the Potter Manor.

As soon as they arrived, they were greeted by a delighted, 'JAMES! SIRIUS! REMUS!'

James looked up and smiled happily... this was a... surprise. 'Mum? I thought you said that you wouldn't be here...' He said confused.

'Oh, had just had to meet your new girl, and... ahem... Dumbledore told me the special circumstances with your little one...' A woman with long, coal-black hair gave her son a hug. She had chocolate brown eyes, identical to her son's.

'Mum... please tell me he didn't tell you about Harry?' James groaned in an undertone.

'Yes he did... and I'm truly excited to meet your future son.' She said with a smile.

'Mum... you're unusally... erm... excited today, don't you think?' James said to her with a questioning look.

'Oh, I just am happy to finally see you guys, after so long... Sirius Black... have you grown!' Tammy Potter said quickly, changing the subject and ignoring the strange looks her son was giving her.

'Two and a half inches Mrs. Potter!' Sirius said, standing tall and proud.

'It's Tammy, Mr. Black!' She insisted.

'Oh, and Remus... how are you this evening? I hope you're keeping the boys out of too much trouble... you know how they can get.' Tammy said to him smiling a wide and joking smile. James resembled her fun personality a lot.

'I try Tammy.' Remus said rolling his eyes.

'Oh and Michelle! I've spoken to your parents... John is working with them on something secretive you know them... but how are you Miss-Mich?' She asked her happily and jovially.

'Mrs. Potter, I'm doing good... me and Remus have begun dating a few weekends ago...' Michelle gushed her eyebrows up in her hair and eyes wide in excitement.

Tammy looked at Remus with wide eyes like Michelle's. 'Way to go Remy!' She said laughing... yep she was definitely like James.

'Mum, this is Lily... the girl you've heard about for the past... seven years, was it?' James said standing by Lily, who looked a little nervous.

'Lily! Oh, yes I've heard way so much about you, I've wanted to meet you for forever... Excuse young James and his innocence... he's told me of all his little extravaganzas... forgive him.' Tammy said, giving Lily a big hug.

'I'd hardly call it innocence.' Sirius said with a laugh.

'Hi Mrs. Potter... it's so good to meet you. Thanks for letting me come.' Lily said politely, thinking that James was lucky to have a mum like Tammy.

'Oh, pish-posh, call me Tammy! You can stop by anytime you like. And, this... this must be Harry.' Tammy said as she reached him.

'Hi.' Harry said awkwardly.

'I've heard much about you from Dumbledore. Your story is fascinating... I'm glad you pre-warned us... it will change what could've been a great tragedy for my son and his girlfriend. Now, tell me, have you met me in your future life?' She asked him interestingly.

'No, I haven't. I don't know any of the Potter's in the future...' Harry said kind-of sadly.

'Well, we might as well get you to know them sometime now then...' Tammy said with a smile.

'Sounds cool.' Harry said happily.

'Now, all of you come... the house-elves have prepared a dinner, you must be hungry, right Sirius?' Tammy asked them.

Everyone agreed with her, and dropped their belongings, and went to the dining room.
