Chapter 13: Harry's First Sleepover...maybe another surprise I haven't decided yet

"We will go and visit Mark later but for now we are going to have guests arrive, and we need to get the food ready." Lily said. Tonks said her good-byes and left

"Lily we can cook the food." Hermione said. Sirius, Remus, and James all laughed.

"Hey unlike you we will actually make the food and not order it." Harry said. The laughing stopped and he and Hermione started lunch by washing their hands.

"What are you making?" The marauders said sitting down at the breakfast bar to watch.

"Pizza." Harry said looking for the dishes and ingredients.

"James where is the oregano, parsley, and tomato...you know what?" Hermione started.

"What?" They all asked.

"We have magic." Hermione said. Harry smirked he held up his hand and summoned all the ingredients for the sauce while Hermione summoned the stuff for the dough. Harry got out a big pot and stuck it on the stove and put all the tomato sauce in it. He added all the essential seasoning. Hermione mean while started making the dough. The three men watched as the teens threw things across the kitchen like garlic to Harry when he didn't even ask for it.

"How are you guys doing that?" James asked. The teens halted.

"What do you mean?" Harry asked.

"Hermione threw the garlic at you and you didn't ask for it." Sirius said.

"Don't nag them." Lily said coming into the room with some blankets and pillows. "Don't you remember they can read minds, or maybe just sense that they need it? Anyway do you want these downstairs?"

"Yes mum." Harry said. "I really have to get used to saying that and dad."

"I know that it will take time, but we will get used to it. It took us a while to get used to the fact that you were still alive and well. Sirius knew you would be a wreck though." Lily said. Harry smiled at her and stirred the sauce. Lily sat down at the counter and looked at the men.

"Who wants to taste test?" Harry said pouring some of the sauce into a bowl and cutting up some bread.

"I don't know, a male cooking." Sirius said.

"Who are you to judge you ate rats." Hermione said. James and Lily laughed.

"Well it was for a good cause." Harry said.

"Hey, I am only trying to defend you." Hermione said and gave him a kiss. "Needs more oregano." She said after tasting the sauce from his lips. Everyone laughed. Harry tasted it and realized it did. He added more and served it to the adults. Lily was the first to taste.

"Wow! That is really good and I am not saying that because I am your mother." Lily said handing the bowl to Remus.

"She is right." Remus said handing it to James.

"I have to admit that is pretty good sauce. Hey Pronglet?" James said to Harry but he didn't turn around. James handed the bowl to Sirius who gave a comment similar to everyone else's. "Pronglet?" Still nothing from Harry. "Harry?"

"Yeah?" Harry said.

"Didn't anyone call you Pronglet before?" James asked.

"No, why?"

"That was your nickname as a baby." James said.

"Oh, I didn't know, sorry dad." Harry said turning around.

"No it isn't your fault no apology. I just thought someone would call you it by now." James said.

"Hermione?" Harry said.

"Yeah?" She answered.

"We should all have nicknames at school." Harry said. "Not to copy or anything but we should be the second generation of marauders. Not that we cause havoc all around with pranks and stuff but we do get in trouble a lot." Lily looked at her son and muttered something along the lines of 'Not another James.'

"That sounds like a good idea. Well you already have a nickname Pronglet or Prongs Jr. we would need one for Ron, Tori, Chris, Kate, and me." Hermione said.

"Sounds good that you are making friends with them." Remus said.

"Why?" Harry asked.

"It is better to have connections all over then just in one area." Remus said.

"Not to be rude or anything but I think could we just for once not talk about anything along the lines of Order and Voldemort?" Harry asked.

"Sure." James said.

"So what do you want to talk about?" Lily said.

"How about some games to play at the sleepover?" Hermione suggested.

"Sounds good. One is Truth or Dare." James said.

"Why don't you guys join us?" Harry said.

"Do you really want us to hang out with you?" Remus said.

"Yeah it will be fun." Harry said.

"Oh, another game could be dueling." James grinned.

"Well I guess I will face you again but are you willing to lose...again?" Harry asked.

"I won't lose this time." James said.

"Well first we will all get settled and play games, and later watch a movie." Harry said.

"Sounds good, Sirius and Remus can I talk to you out on the deck?" James said. "Order business and you didn't want to talk about it so we will go outside. Lily you come too." The adults went outside.

"They are planning a prank." Harry said.

"How do you know?" Hermione said.

"My dad asked the marauders out then my mum. Think about it." Harry said.

"Good point, the crust it done by the way." Hermione said. Harry and Hermione made the rest of the pizza, by the time the adults came back in the teens were putting it in the oven.

"Smelling good." Remus said.

"That must have been some discussion. What was it about?" Harry asked.

"Mostly the 'tricks' he has been playing on us." Sirius said.

"You weren't possible talking about playing a prank at my little shin-dig?" Harry said not turning his back. All the adult's jaws dropped. Were they losing their touch and couldn't hide anything anymore. Not possible.

"No." James said. He was always the best liar.

"Okay." Harry said not all convinced.

'Harry you were right.' Hermione thought to Harry.

'I know.' Harry said.

'Don't push it.' Hermione said. Harry laughed out loud. (LOL get it laughed out loud I just realized that lol)

"What's so funny?" Sirius asked.

"Nothing." Harry said.

"Is the food almost done?" James asked.

"Hold your horses James." Lily said.

"Yes dad it is." Harry said levitating stuff into the cabinets.

"So what do you want to do until the guests arrive?" Harry asked as he sat down next to Hermione and kissed her.

"Well from what I saw the other night in the pensive you are a good flyer." James started. Harry apparated and then back with firebolt in hand. "Wow that was quick."

"What do you ride?" Harry asked.

"I just bought a firebolt because Sirius said you had one so I got one too." James said. Harry let go of Hermione's hand under the table and summoned the other firebolt.

"Go get it." Harry said. James apparated when his firebolt came down the stairs. Everyone laughed. "DAD!" Harry yelled.

"YEAH?"

"GUESS WHAT I'VE GOT?" James then apparated to Harry's side and snatched the firebolt out of his son's hand. Everyone laughed even more.

"Very funny." James said.

"Wait, were are we going race or play?" Harry asked.

"You never saw the backyard." Sirius said. They walked out and outside was a beautiful pond, deck, and Quidditch Pitch.

"Wow!" Harry said.

"I am going to get a book." Harry gave Hermione a look but she ignored it and went to retrieve a book.

"Lets race." James said. Everyone walked to the pitch and James and Harry kicked off into the air.

"Now here is how it will go you race around the pitch twice and who ever wins owes the other a butter beer. ONE...TWO...THREE!" Sirius yelled. Harry and James were off. Harry pulling in the lead, then James, then they were neck and neck, next Harry, James, both, and the winner was tie? James and Harry both won. Everyone celebrated a bit and went inside for pizza.

"Me and Hermione are going outside." Harry told his parents.

"Whatca need?" Hermione said.

"Why don't you like flying?" Harry asked.

"I don't like heights." Hermione said.

"Look how about this I spend a whole day of books and homework and stuff if you fly with me." Harry said. Hermione looked a bit torn.

"Harry I don't know what if I fall?" Hermione said.

"You won't I promise, please?" Harry gave his pout.

"No, I can't resist." Hermione said.

"So you'll do it?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, but don't dive." Hermione said.

"Alright. Now climb on." Harry said patting the spot in front of himself. Hermione hesitated and got on. "Now we are going to go upwards fast just to let you know. Ready?" She nodded and he kicked off. She sucked in her breath.

"You doing okay?" Harry asked.

"Yeah I...I...think so."

"Good. Now that we are up here we can talk about whatever. How are you doing?"

"I am good how are you I mean you have had so much crammed into you at once?"

"I am good surprisingly, at first I was really scared. I mean my parents and godfather live and now I don't see how I lived without them. I bet though it won't always be like this though. Something will change and become chaos. But I want to enjoy this as long as possible." Harry said putting his arms around Hermione's waist and kiss the back of her neck.

"Harry remember when I said something good was coming your way soon?" Hermione said.

"Yeah."

"Well this was it, a family." Hermione said.

"Now that I think of it there were so many clues that my parents were alive. I just didn't notice." Harry said.

"Look Harry whether or not neither of us are normal people. Also we may have to start training soon." Hermione said.

"Yeah do you think I should do the D.A. this year?" Harry said.

"Yes because even if we do have a good teacher you have learned hands on what death eaters are like. What they do what usually their first spell is too."

"True, I just don't want anyone to die for me or because of me." Harry said.

"Harry either way people are going to die. I know we will win though we have to we are the good guys." Hermione laughed. Harry kissed her and flew around a bit. "I can see why you like flying."

"Why's that?"

"Freedom, no worries, and just loose and I don't know just relaxed."

"Yep just an unexplainable feeling." It was starting to get cold and Harry rapped his cloak around himself and Hermione.

"HARRY!" Lily yelled from the ground.

"YEAH?" Harry yelled back not looking away from the sunset.

"RON IS HERE!"

"WE'LL BE DOWN IN A MINUTE."

"OKAY!"

"Sorry for screaming in your ear."

"Nothing to be sorry for you didn't hurt me."

"Hermione?" Harry said.

"Yes?" Hermione said.

"Ready to go in?"

"Yeah." Harry landed and gave Hermione a kiss and went in to greet Ron.
