This Chapter: Harry and Sirius view some of James and Lily's memories
Now.........on with the story!
Harry looked around to see where they were. They were in the Great Hall. Each student was sitting at a single desk.
"OWLs" said Sirius. Harry had been in this memory before, but it had been Snape's memory then.
Professor Flitwick collected their papers and Harry and Sirius followed the Marauders.
"Isn't this the memory you saw last year?" asked Sirius.
"Yeah, but it was Snape's memory then." replied Harry.
Sudddenly, the scene changed. They were in the Three Broomsticks. James and Lily were sitting together at a table in the corner, drinking butterbeer.
Suddenly, they leaned towards each other and started kissing. Then they heard laughter as the rest of the Marauders appeared.
"About time you two got together." said the younger Sirius. Remus was trying to keep a serious face, but he was beginning to smile.
"You crashed their first date?" asked Harry incredulously.
"It wasn't their first one. They'd been sneaking around for some time. This was just when we'd figured out what they were doing, and decided to have a little fun. Besides, James crashed enough of my dates." said Sirius.
The scene changed again to the Gryffindor Common Room.
"No, I will not go out with you!" screamed Lily.
"But Evans," protested James as Lily stalked towards the dormitories.
"Bad luck Prongs." said Sirius.
"Shot down again." said Remus.
James conjured a bouquet of roses and handed them to a girl Harry recognized, but couldn't place.
"Tonks, will you give these to Lily for me?" asked James.
"Sure thing." she said brightly and headed up the stairs, but tripped on a stair.
"I'm all right." she said cheerily and continued up the stairs.
"That was the point we thought they started to get together. At least, they disappeared quite a bit after that and we could never find the Marauders Map when they were gone." said Sirius.
The scene changed again and they were on the Astronomy Tower. It was nighttime. Lily and James were holding hands, staring at the stars.
"It's so beautiful tonight." whispered Lily.
"So are you." said James and they kissed. When they finally pulled away, James looked at something in his hand.
"Quick, under the cloak." said James. He wrapped the cloak around the two of them and they disappeared.
The scene changed again. They were standing near the Whomping Willow. They watched Remus being led into the tree by Madam Pomfrey. After she was gone, they saw Snape appear out of the darkness.
They watched him pick up a long stick and prod the knot on the Whomping Willow, and disappear down the tunnel. Minutes later, James came running towards the tree, followed reluctantly by Sirius. He prodded the knot on the tree with the stick Snape had dropped and James and Sirius jumped inside. They came back with Snape several minutes later and ran toward the castle.
Harry and Sirius heard growling, and jumped back as Lupin the werewolf came out of the tunnel.
"Snape, run!" shouted James before changing into the stag.
Sirius changed into the dog and together they kept Remus from attacking Snape. James jumped on Remus, while Sirius grabbed one of Remus's paws between his teeth, and they began to drag him towards the tunnel. Halfway there, Remus calmed down and walked back into the tunnel on his own.
Once he was safely inside, James and Sirius changed back and ran towards the castle.
"We're going to be in so much trouble." said James.
"Well it was worth it, seeing Snivellus's face when he saw Remus." said Sirius.
Harry felt someone tugging on his arm back in the dormitory and suddenly found himself back on Sirius's bed.
"Harry, what were you doing?" asked Ron.
