Harry stirred, and saw two orbs of grey right in front of his eyes. "What the hell." He muttered groggily. The two grey orbs obscuring his vision quickly moved away.

"Finally you're awake!" Sirius exclaimed, "We thought you kicked the bucket!"

Harry cringed. "In my sleep? I'd never die in my sleep. That's just a disgrace." He stretched his arms and sat up. Sirius1, Sirius, and James were standing around his bed and Hermione was sitting at the end of it.

"What time is it?" Harry asked, stifling a yawn.

"9:43. Remus here forgot to wake us up at nine." James said.

"I was reading…" Remus muttered defensively.

"Alright, I'll be down in a moment, you guys go ahead." Harry said, swinging his feet over the bed.

They nodded and filed out of his room, closing the door with a creak.

Harry put on a shirt, cleansed his face, and brushed his teeth. He padded down the hallway with his bare feet and stopped at the top of the stairs. He slid down the banister, but this time, with a smooth landing. Harry walked to the kitchen where everyone was eating Maria's breakfast.

Sirius, Sirius1, and James were shoveling food into their mouths, only stopping to take a breath. Hermione scrutinized them eating their breakfast with a clearly disgusted look on her face.

"What? We're growing boys!" they defended themselves.

Hermione rolled her eyes and picked out a muffin.

"What's the hurry?" Harry asked as he sat down and piled some food onto his plate.

"We've got to leave in 15 minutes if we want to get to Hogsmeade by ten, and we've all got our pajamas on." Hermione explained.

In ten minutes, breakfast was eaten and they all scrambled up the stairs, hurrying to get dressed and ready.

When Harry got to his room, he brushed his teeth once again. He rummaged around his drawers and decided to wear muggle clothes. He put on dark jeans, a white muscle tee, and over that he wore a dark blue and light blue striped button up shirt. He put on a navy blue hoodie and shoved on a pair of black trainers (yeah, I'm like that- lots of detail on clothes and fashion lol). With a feeble attempt to smooth out his hair, we walked out of his room.

"I'm ready!" he called out to nobody in particular. He slid down the banister and saw everyone else waiting by the front door.

"Took you long enough." Sirius muttered good naturedly.

Sirius1 and Hermione chose to wear robes and cloaks, but the three Marauders wore muggle clothes.

"How're we going to get there?" Harry asked.

"Dad set up a portkey." James answered, nodding his head to the quill in his hand.

Harry and the others touched the quill and immediately felt the familiar tug at his naval. He landed on his feet, but stumbled a little.

"Let's all go our separate ways and meet at The 3 Broomsticks at… two. That gives us 3 ½ hours." Sirius1 said.

They agreed and scattered. Harry went to a Quidditch store to buy James' present. Then he went to Honeydukes' to buy a bunch of candy. He shopped for a while, until he saw on his watch that it was 1:51. Harry made his way to The 3 Broomsticks. He spotted Hermione and Remus at a large table, talking.

"Hey, guys." Harry greeted them, placing his shopping bags beside him on the ground. He took a seat next to Hermione.

"Hi, Harry. Are you all finished with your shopping?" Hermione asked.

"I think so." Harry answered.

"You're teaching wandless magic tomorrow." Remus stated, "Do you have anything planned?"

"Er, no. Haven't even really thought about it." Harry said, grinning sheepishly.

"That's so scary- when you do that, it looks exactly like Prongs." Remus said with a grin.

"Hello, people- miss me?" Sirius boomed, walking over to them. He had bags and bags of bought items.

"Hey, Padfoot." Remus greeted him with a roll of his eyes. Sirius sat down next to Remus.

"You know what?" a voice said from behind. Harry jumped at the sudden voice.

Sirius1 took a seat next to Harry.

"What, old me?" Sirius asked with a goofy grin.

"It feels so good to roam around without feeling like a convicted murderer!" Sirius1 announced with his famous bark-like laugh.

"Well, get used to it. In the future, you'll be doing that a lot more often." Hermione said with a smile.

"I thought Moony killed him before he got to spit out the truth?" Sirius1 said with a slight frown. Remus cringed at the thought of killing a fellow Marauder.

"No, Kingsley Shacklebolt and Perkins got a glimpse of him, so you're free now, even if you are dead, and all." Harry teased.

"I'M FREEEEE!" Sirius1 bellowed happily.

Everyone at The 3 Broomsticks stared at Sirius1.

"Sorry, er, our friend has serious problems. It can't be helped. Excuse him, thank you." James said loudly and apologetically as he walked over to their table. He took a seat next to both Sirius'. The 3 Broomsticks gradually started chattering again, with the sound of loud and cheery voices and glasses clinking, glancing at Sirius1 once in a while.

"Hey, mates. And fair lady." James added, nodding to Hermione.

Madame Rosmerta came over. She was quite a sight. This was Madame Rosmerta 20 years back, and she was quite a pretty picture.

"Hello, boys. You have company, too, I see. I haven't seen you three before." Madame Rosmerta said to Harry, Sirius1, and Hermione. Her gaze lingered on Sirius1 and he winked at her, and she blushed prettily.

"We're the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors over at Hogwarts." Hermione answered. She introduced herself. "I'm Hermione Granger."

"Harry Pot-er, I mean, Donovan." Harry said hastily.

"Sean Courtley. It's such a pleasure to meet a beautiful young lady." Srius1 said charmingly, kissing her hand lightly.

Madame Rosmerta smiled and blushed. "What would you all like?"

Everyone but Sirius1 and Harry ordered Butterbeer.

"Odgen's Strongest Firewhiskey, please." Sirius1 said with a wide grin.

"One for me too." Harry said.

"Harry! Sir-Sean!" You won't be able do walk at all after you're finished!" Hermione hissed.

Harry shrugged. Madame Rosmerta came back with their drinks. The first time Harry drank was when he was in his 6th year. He had gotten so depressed because of Sirius' death that he drank. He got all sick and drunk. Ron found Harry in the kitchens, intoxicated with alchohol, muttering to himself. "I'm so sorry, Sirius, it's all my fault. I shouldn't- I shouldn't have done it… I'm sorry… I'll make it up to you, I swear. See…?" Harry had gotten up and grabbed a knife from the knife rack and almost stabbed himself in the heart, but Ron stunned him before he did. Ron and Hermione had to get Dumbledore to help them er, fix Harry.

Harry shivered slightly at that memory. He vowed never to drink again, but this was a huge occasion. Plus, Sirius1 was alive now. Harry slowly sipped his whiskey. It was strong. He gagged at the bitter taste. He took a gulp and felt it going down his throat. The taste was anything but good, but he liked the fiery, stingy feeling of it. After a few more gulps, he felt light headed and slightly woozy. He felt good.

"Can I pleeasseee try a wittle bit?" Sirius asked in his oh-so sweet voice.

Sirius1 smiled back sweetly and said, "No!" and stuck out his tongue.

"Don't even try." Harry said when Sirius turned to him. All of them laughed at Sirius pouting.

They stayed at The 3 Broomsticks until 5. By then, Sirius1 was on his 6th mug of Whiskey and Harry was on his 5th. They had a few more drinks, and on their 8th, they were as drunk as a skunk.

'Er, I think we should go now." Hermione said uncomfortably, while Harry was heavily leaning on her.

"They can't apparate or they'll splinch themselves." Remus said worriedly.

"Hey, I've never seen anyone splinch themselves before!" Sirius said.

"Where's my Rayyeee?" Sirius1 slurred.

"Who's Raye?" Harry asked, half asleep.

The sane ones shrugged to each other.

"Remus and I'll carry Harry, and Hermione and Sirius, carry Sirius1, okay?" James suggested.

They nodded. They paid for their drinks and said goodbye to Madame Rosmerta. They heaved Harry and Sirius1 out of their chairs and led them out the door.

"How're we going to get home?" Remus asked.

"Er…" Sirius said, thinking hard.

"We could go to Hogwarts instead." Hermione suggested.

"Sure, I'll talk to my parents there. I'm sure Professor Dumbledore won't mind. He's too nice." James said.

Remus and Sirius nodded in agreement.

"Din… din…? Dinnertime!" Harry cried.

"Yes, it-"James gasped. He got a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Prongs…?" Sirius and Remus said slowly, knowing that look.

"Perfectly fine, let's go." James said hurriedly.

It took them twenty minutes to get to the Hogwarts steps.

"Hoggy Wart, right?" Sirius1 slurred.

"Yes, Sirius." Hermione said impatiently.

"Raye here yet? Raye here?" Sirius1 asked, squinting for no apparent reason.

"Who's Raye?" James asked the younger Sirius.

"I don't know." Sirius answered with a bewildered look on his face.

It took them a while to get up the steps to the doors because Harry and Sirius1 were getting heavier and heavier each minute. Hermione quickly opened the doors and they all went inside.

"We're back!" Harry exclaimed wondrously.

"Come on, let's go eat!" Sirius said.

When they reached the doors to the Great Hall, James stopped them.

"What?" Hermione inquired.

"Harry, Sirius1?" James said loudly.

"Yeh?" they said.

"If you get up on the Gryffindor table and sing Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star, with all the hand gestures, everyone will love you. Will you do it?" James asked sweetly.

"Jolly will!" they exclaimed happily.

James grinned. All of them walked in the Great Hall and saw about ten or twelve people seated for each house.

They walked to the Gryffindor table, and Sirius1 and Harry jumped onto it. The whole Great Hall stopped chatting and turned to stare at the two. They both cleared their voices and started to sing:

"Twinkle, twinkle, litter star!

How I wonder what you are.

Up above the world so high

Like a diamond in the sky!

Twinkle, twinkle, little star,

How I wonder what you arrreeeee!"

Harry and Sirius1 ended with their arms spread out in the air. During the middle of their performance, the Great Hall's door opened and closed quietly, but nobody noticed.

For a second, their was complete silence, and Harry and Sirius1 looked like they were on the verge of crying because nobody loved them, but then the room erupted in thunderous applause, whistles, and laughter. Harry and Sirius1 continuously bowed to the crowd. They actually sang fairly well for two drunk people. They jumped back to the ground and staggered a bit before getting the feel of the sturdy ground. Hermione didn't know whether to laugh or disapprove.

"Um, excuse me?" a female's voice called out from the front of the Great Hall by the doors.

It was a girl. She had wavy, dark brown hair, tan skin, beautiful violet eyes, and an hourglass body over her stunning silver and black robes.

There was now silence, except just one person.

Sirius1' eyes widened and he paled considerably.

The whole hall heard him. "Raye!"

The girl looked at him in suspicion and surprise.

Sirius1 fainted.

Yeah, it's another sort-of cliffy. But don't be mad! Hopefully I'll get the next chapter done soon. This one's a little short. Nevermind, I've decided not to delete my other stories. I'm just abandoning them until I get this one finished. Which will be in a while. Reviewwww!
