As Time Goes By

Author's Note: Let me say this and I will get on with the chapter, this is not SLASH! Never has been, never will be. I said that in one of my chapters, read the A/N you people. Okay, let's get this over with.

Disclaimer:  I do not own Harry Potter.

Sirius: God, why am I hardly in this chapter?

Grim's Angel: Because you're boring

Sirius: (looks offended) Boring? How could I, Sirius Black be boring? I mean I'm hot and sexy, and funny, and I like eggs! (strikes a pose)

Grim's Angel: Ha ha ha ha ha, no you're stupid

Sirius: Fine hurt my feelings I don't care!

Grim's Angel: (Grins evilly) If you insist

Sirius: …

Grim's Angel: Seems to have run away, oh well, on with the story!

"Oh, well then I guess that my normal assumption about you being a death eater was incorrect?"

"Well, you can say that but it wouldn't matter anyway, I mean people back home seem to think me evil anyway".

"Why?"

"Because I have a link to Voldemort and I always know what he's up to, and how he's feeling so people think that I'm evil", Harry confessed rubbing the scar that made him famous although it was unwanted. Sirius looked shocked and then a bit scared. He got up and walked over to his bed.

"Nice talking to you, White". Harry shook his head and forced the morbid thoughts out of his head. No, not now don't think about him! Harry told himself. He had only ever wanted his godfather to love him. And here he was in the past in his parent's sixth year and they all hated him except for his mother. Great this was just great

Harry sat on the stone ledge in the Astronomy Tower, looking at the ground below him. The crescent moon shining down on the lake giving the grounds an eerie glow the stars dotted the sky, and if you looked hard enough you could see the brightest star in the sky Sirius the Dog Star.

Harry as usual jet-black hair was standing on end still as uncontrollable as ever shined blue in the moon. He wasn't that skinny, sickly looking boy he had always been. He was toned and well structured, his cheekbones were high, and he was almost as tall as his father. His eyes though were another story. Their usual emerald green stance had faded out, leaving him with dark jaded eyes.

That's what he got for being the boy who lived. Harry bleakly wandered what it would be like if jumped, not that he would do it, but it was something one would wander about. Faintly, he heard or even acknowledged the person that had just come behind him, until he was forced to reassure them.

"Harry, what are you doing?" Ginny gasped. Harry smiled fondly and turned to look at her.

"Don't worry Ginny I have no intention to jump to my death, even if I did it wouldn't be here, I mean I would be horribly disfigured", Harry said lightly. Looking at her mortified expression he quickly opened his mouth.

"I was just kidding, Ginny, I don't plan on dying anytime soon not till later anyway", Harry soothed. Seeing her expression only deepened Harry cursed.

"Damn, I was never good with words", Harry muttered darkly. Pulling her into his arms he brought her up with him, setting her on the ledge. Ignoring her startled shriek he whispered to her.

"I'm sorry; Ginny I didn't mean to scare you". Though Ginny had lost her crush long ago she had started with something more: Love. Ginny swore that she would never fall in love with Harry Potter, no matter what, but she hadn't been able to keep the promise.

Harry was thing on the same lines as Ginny just not with the same words.   

"POTTER, YOU GIT! WHY CAN'T YOU LEAVE ME ALONE?"

"EVANS, WOULD IT KILL YOU TO GO OUT ON ONE DATE WITH ME?"

Ginny and Harry winced it was days like these that they usually avoided the common room. Usually James Potter and Lily Evans were at it.

"WHAT THE HELL HAVE YOU GOT AGAINST ME, EVANS!" James shouted. Lily turned around her eyes lighting up flaming like Harry's did when he went after Bellatrix.

"FINE YOU WANT TO KNOW? THEN I'LL TELL YOU! YOU'RE A PRICK, YOU STUPID IDIOT, I HATE TO THINK OF YOU EVER GOING OUT ON A DATE WITH ME, AND GOD FORBID THAT YOU EVER GIVE UP,AND LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!  Lily stopped for a second only long enough for James to open his mouth.

"No, shut up I'm not done with you yet", Lily snarled.

"DOES IT OCCURE TO YOU THAT ALL OF THE GUYS THAT ACTUALLY LIKE ME ARE TO AFRAID TO COME UP AND ASK ME OUT, BECAUSE THEY'RE AFRAID OF WHAT YOU'LL DO TO THEM! I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOU, I HATE YOUR LOOKS, I HATE THE WAY YOU ALWAYS RUFFLE YOUR HAIR, I HATE YOU JAMES POTTER, I HATE YOU, SO FUCK OFF!" Lily finally shouted to end her side of the argument. James winched his eyes turning cold.

"How long have you been waiting to throw that in my face?" James asked coldly. Lily looked taken aback, but regained her composer.

"A lot longer then I should've had to wait, and trust me I was just getting started", she hissed. Harry was stunned at the coldness in his mother's voice. How had the two ended up together? From the way they were shouting at each other you'd think after they'd finished school they'd stay as far away from each other as possible. Well, not so much as James, because he was hopelessly in love with her.

Ginny rolled her eyes mumbling something that sounded to much like "Ron" and "Hermione". Harry snickered. Lily stormed away and James walked up to the wall and leaned against it. Punching it hard he muttered a "fuck" before looking at Harry who was by now snickering with Ginny and started another fight.

"What are you two losers laughing about, look in the mirror and see how ugly you really both are?" James sneered cruelly. Ginny stood up smirking.

"Oh, James you are so funny, but haven't you noticed now much you two look a like, I mean if he wanted to look in a mirror all he'd have to do was look at you", Ginny said before continuing, "I'll give you some time to figure out what I just said, don't hurt yourself", Ginny said looking at the confused look on James' face.

Harry again burst out laughing and received a glare from James. Ginny grabbed Harry's wrist and they filed out of the portrait hole Harry smiled and swung her around.

"That was classic, Ginny". She blushed and smacked Harry on the head.

"I will not stand here and take this abuse!" Harry said dramatically. Ginny pointed to the spot that was right from her.

"Fine stand right there then". Harry rolled his eyes and glared at her.

They made their way to the Great Hall for Dinner.

October 3, 1996

Remus paced his way across his chambers back and forth back and forth. He was missing Harry and no one knew where he had gone. Ginny Weasley and Draco Malfoy as well, but mostly Remus was worried for Harry. As the summer had progressed Remus and Harry had grown closer and started to confide in each other. Harry seeing Remus as the sort of father figure where as Remus regarded Harry as his son.

No, Remus needed to find Harry. Remus couldn't lose him not now, he also know that Harry wasn't dead, just go on the gut instinct he had. He was going to find Harry, and when he did, boy was he going to get it.

September 15, 1978

James, the one person that Harry could not stand next to Draco James had become his enemy. Why he didn't know, but there was something about Harry that pissed James off. James had yet figure out what as had Harry. Remus on the other hand had no problem with Harry, and Harry had no problem with Remus. Sirius and Peter on the other hand, well you can't say much about Peter. If James and Sirius hated him then so did Peter. Sirius hated Harry as well.

Harry was disgusted of all the things that would happen in potions, why in the hell would the Professor pair him up with Peter? I mean come on Peter Pettigrew! Put him with the damn Slytherins where he belonged.           So now here Harry sat watching in disgust as Peter planted his butt beside Harry. Peter on the other wanted to know why his friends hated Harry so much, so he was going to make conversation.

"Hi, I'm Peter", he said looking down at his lap. Harry regarded his with a great amount of disgust.

"I know who you are", Harry answered coldly, watching Peter's eyes widen at his tone. Peter not wanting to end it here started another conversation.

"So, Harry, how have you been?" he asked. Harry jerked his head up putting down the basilisk blood that was so tempting to shove down Peter's throat.

"Look, here you conniving little rat! I'm not your friend, so help me finish the damn potion, and I'll go back to pretending that you don't exist", Harry snapped. Peter's hands began shaking and James, Remus, and Sirius who had heard him glared at Harry. Draco on the other hand smirked at him. Draco coming to find that Peter was rat himself.

James glared at Harry mouthing, "You're dead". Who in return, "I'd like to see you try".  So, all in all potions had not been a good class for him. Harry raced out of the room not wanting to face his father at this moment. He wanted to see Ginny, Draco anybody besides his father. Hell, Voldemort would do for now. James had other plans catching up with Harry he slammed him into the wall.

"Just what do you think you're playing at?" James snapped at him. Harry glared him down. His gaze never faltered.

"You apologize to Peter, right now", James demanded. Harry glanced at Peter who was snickering.

"No, I won't, he deserved it, now piss off, before I hex you", Harry snapped. James' face contorted.

"You don't have the guts, White you wouldn't dare". Harry pulled his wand from his sleeve pointing it between James' eyes.

"Oh yeah, try me" Harry said frostily. Noticing the fear that flickered in his father's eyes. James let Harry go and stalked off before turning back around.

"You'd just better watch out, White".

"Oh trust, me its you that needs to be watching", Harry hissed.

"Is that a threat?" James asked coldly.

"Absolutely" Harry said calmly. Who walked off.

"See ya" Harry called smirking.

Author's Note: Is that long enough for you people? I hope you know that it took me forever to write this. Okay, anyway I want to pass these ideas by you. See which one you people like better. The one with the most votes wins.

Sirius finds the picture of Harry and him, and questions him.

Remus finds away into the past and pops in the middle of the Great Hall sees Harry and starts yelling at him, so Harry is forced to tell the truth.

Which ever you like review for it and no flames.

Sirius: Remember, read, review be happy. And if you don't review nicely I'll let you have it! (laughs manically)

Grim's Angel: (stars and Sirius fearing for his sanity) what is "it" exactly?

Sirius: Umm… well I don't what "it" is exactly, but I'll figure it out

Grim's Angel: (snickers) yeah, okay, whatever Review!
