Chapter 15: The Sleepover and Scary Movies...
The two teens walked in to the living room where a Ron was waiting, Lily and James cuddled on the couch talking, Sirius with some women Harry hadn't see before they were like Lily and James except they were just sitting there looking at the teens who just entered the room.
"Hey Ron." Harry said letting go of Hermione and greeted Ron and Hermione did so with a hug.
"Hey Harry and Hermione I came early because I was for once packed and the others were getting a hold of their parents. Ginny is waiting with Jake and the other trio is coming in about twenty minutes they needed to talk with their parents. Luna is coming just needs to owl her dad and gets a reply I was going to wait but she told me to go because I don't get to spend enough time with you guys anymore. Then I said well I will when we-" Ron said.
"We get it." Hermione interrupted, Ron went red in the ears, and Harry just laughed.
"I don't believe we've met." Harry said looking at the brown haired girl with brown eyes.
"No but I know enough about you to actually know you, I am Julie." Julie said.
"Who doesn't know about me? It is nice to meet you though are you in the order?" Harry asked.
"True and yes, that is how I met Sirius." Julie said.
"Harry, Julie is my girlfriend." Sirius said.
"Congratulations, Sirius and to you too Julie he is a great guy." Harry said.
"Well from what I hear, which by the way is nonstop, is you are too. Sirius and James can't stop talking about you." Julie said with a laugh. Sirius blushed a bit.
"It is because we are proud of him." Sirius and James said together.
"Me too." Remus said.
"Who wouldn't be?" Ron said.
"True." Hermione said.
"Yeah I guess so." Julie said.
"I am proud." Remus said. "I don't believe anyone isn't proud."
"I am proud too." Lily said.
"Again who isn't, Lily, I am, Hermione is, Sirius, Remus, the order, Dumbledore." Ron said.
"True." Hermione said.
"HEY. I am standing right here thanks for the praise and all but I am right here." Harry said flopping down on the couch.
"We know Harry that is what started the whole conversation." Hermione said sitting down next to him and giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"I am just tired of feeling like I do when-" Harry started, but Hermione put a finger to his lips and kissed him.
"When you are right there and everyone is talking about you? I know Harry but you have to know we don't mean it but it just happens." Hermione said.
"Yeah we don't mean it but that isn't a good excuse but acceptable?" Ron said.
"Acceptable." Harry said pulling Hermione and Ron into a hug. "Sorry. Just been a time bomb lately."
"Not your fault." Hermione muttered.
"Partly." Harry argued.
"I don't feel like discussing this now." Hermione said. Harry kissed her forehead and cuddled up with her a bit by pulling her to lean on his shoulder.
"Are you three done and okay?" Julie asked.
"That's normal." Sirius said. "They calm each other down."
"I guess so." Harry said. "Always have been always will."
"Yup through and through." Ron said.
"Thick and thin." Hermione finished.
"Well what do you all want for dinner?" Harry asked.
"What do you mean?" Julie asked.
"Harry and Hermione made us lunch earlier and made these two speechless...for once." Lily said pointing at James and Sirius receiving laughs. They nodded.
"Well if it made them speechless I am willing to try it." Julie said. With that, Harry took his free hand, held it up to where it was not noticeable, and in came a flying, hot piece of pizza. It flew over to Julie and stopped right in front of her mouth. She looked confused for a moment then noticed Harry's hand and took a mid-air bite.
"And you two made that?" Julie asked swallowing. They nodded and she grabbed the slice of Italian food and finished it. "Now that is some good pizza."
"Thank you." Hermione and Harry said at the same time. "Glad you liked it." They added.
"Guys I will be right back I want to go and check on the others." Ron said.
"Alright you want us to come?" Hermione asked.
"Sure." Ron said.
"Are you coming Harry?" Hermione said grabbing her cloak.
"No I think I am going to stay here I really don't like being there." Harry said. Everyone looked at him being confused.
"It just reminds me of...the ministry." Harry said.
"Okay, I will be right back then." Hermione said kissing him on the cheek.
"Have fun." Harry said. They apparated out of Godric Hollow. Harry was left with the adults.
"What do you want to do?" Sirius asked.
"I don't know what do you want to do Harry?" James asked.
"Estimating that it will take a while for them to do whatever, I have no clue." Harry said.
"How about-?" Julie started.
"Do you have an animagus form?" Harry interrupted.
"Yes, it is a raven." Julie said.
"Harry?" Sirius asked.
"Yeah?"
"I know it is because of the ministry but why is it so hard to go to the Grimmauld Place?" Sirius asked.
"Just the memory of you dying over and over again from every night since the incident and it hurts." Harry said quietly.
"I am sorry Harry, but I am here now and you still can't go wait you don't have those dreams still, do you?" Sirius said getting up and hugging Harry.
"No but you have only been here one night I just have it fresh in my memory. No one knew you were innocent either, you died, and no one cared. Except me and Remus and Hermione, Ron, and..."
"Harry its okay. I will not leave again; I don't think they will let me either." Sirius said with a laugh.
"I know but it was so hard and everyone was even more on my watch, Dumbledore didn't make it better." Harry said.
"What do you mean?"
"He told me not to lie to him and he lied to me." Harry said recalling the incident.
"What happened?"
"I err yelled at him and stalked off. Hermione came and found me, calmed me down, and we went back. After I ran off, I felt like I was on fire. Hermione pulled away when she tried to touch me it scared me." Harry said.
"Oh. I remember when Lily was so mad a James she was glowing red. What did you do again?" Sirius said.
"He kissed me in front of the whole school to prove he was going out with me." Lily said laughing. "Did you glow red?" Lily asked her son with concern.
"I think so. You would have to ask Hermione or Dumbledore speaking of which he is at the front door." Harry said pointing to the door, which opened with his hand movement. Surprisingly an old man with a long sliver beard and hair stood in the threshold.
"How did you know?" Julie asked.
"Harry never mastered Occlumency." Dumbledore said.
"I know, I know." Harry muttered.
"As you also know I will be teaching you this year."
"Yes. I know but if I hadn't had seen Sirius then Voldemort would have gotten the prophecy." Harry said.
"True but it is for the better."
"I know." Harry said.
"I have come by to make sure everyone was coming here tonight for a sleepover and that everyone is doing okay." Dumbledore said.
"Yes and we are fine." James said.
"Good and Harry?"
"Yes?" Harry asked.
"May I speak with you in the other room?" Dumbledore asked Harry nodded and walked out with Dumbledore out into the hall. Harry stood there a moment before Dumbledore began.
"How are you getting along with everything?" He asked.
"Fine, why?"
"Just wondering how everything was, if you need anything just let me know. In addition, if they do not leave you to yourself just tell them and do not explode. Harry you have so many emotions, which you hide very well as matter of fact, you are practically a walking time bomb waiting to go off. You have gone through so much in such a short time you cannot always cope with it. You are only 16 and you have gone through something in the past two months then someone at the age of 60 has in their whole life."
"Yes, not to be rude but everyone keeps telling me that and I know. It is somewhat hard to sort out yourself to calm down and stuff when people are always watching you and you know that they are there. It is hard to concentrate. I was never able to grieve over Sirius because he was taken so fast and I was never able to get that along with the prophecy, and Hermione, the order. I tried to make it look like I was okay. It did not work, my family noticed, and when I was just starting to feel all right. I had to run to Hermione's house after what he did to me. Then after I...I still don't know how to feel. I really need time to myself but I can't go anywhere unless someone is with me. Like an order member." Harry said.
"Interesting, I came by tonight to tell you that you and Hermione will start training. Animagus training won't take long with you because of your powers. You and Hermione have exceptional powers along with Ron you all are powerful. It won't take long for you and the other two."
"Can I go on a couple day vacation? By myself?" Harry asked.
"I am not sure I can promise that but..." Dumbledore said pulling something out of his robes. "I made you this. It will take you to a place once you activate it and it will stop time here. Mainly going to be used for training. It is a pendent that looks like a phoenix. You say the hide out's name and it will transport you there. You may only go there for certain things though. Training, rest, and recouping nothing else. Hermione has one, as does Ron. Different people will teach you. James will be teaching you quick animagus training along with Sirius, Remus and Moody with Defense Against Dark Arts, I will be teaching you Occulmency, and maybe more I am not sure yet." Dumbledore said.
"Wow thank you Professor." Harry said taking the pendant and examined it.
"You are quite welcome. In addition, it will stop time so if you were to go now and sleep or something then come back it would be the same time, same day, and same year. I want to also inform you I do have access to each hide out. On another note, I want to ask you to also teach the D.A. again this year. Mostly because you are the most trained student in the school even more than some teachers."
"Yes I will but am I going to have a teacher there or...what?"
"Only if you want and you may teach it alone. Oh and now I want to ask you how did everything go last night?" Dumbledore asked.
"Good, I...my parents and everyone else were a bit shooken even after witnessing it I, Hermione and Ron were too."
"That is good that you showed your parents. I also am wondering if you are going back to Privet Drive to collect the rest of your things?"
"Yes but there isn't much to collect and I had to beg my dad and well everyone else to not hex them to oblivion. Would you like to stay for dinner?"
"Thank you I would love to stay for dinner."
"Good we are having Italian."
"Yum, would you like a lemon drop?"
"Sure, thanks."
"Who is coming to your sleepover?" Dumbledore asked walking into the other room where everyone else was waiting ever so patiently.
"Please do you have to ask I am sure you know, how do you always know everything?" Harry said.
"True just making conversation. How are you all getting along?" Dumbledore asked the room.
"Terrific." Lily said.
"Everything is going great, no chaos yet." Sirius said.
"Yes we are all doing great, Albus. We are going to have the sleepover tonight have everyone hang out for the day. Then we are going to visit Mark Evans at Privet Drive along with the Dursleys, then go to Diagon Alley for some clothes for Harry. Is it okay if he doesn't start training until Wednesday or Thursday?"
"That is good and yes." Dumbledore said.
"I have a question." Harry said.
"Yes?" Everyone asked.
"Is anyone in this room besides Professor Dumbledore working at Hogwarts this year?" Everyone went silent.
"Yes your parents." Dumbledore said.
"How?" Harry asked. "I mean D.A.D.A., not that it is bad but how...which is the other way?"
"Professor Flitwick has retired. He retired over summer and your mother is taking the place of him." Dumbledore said.
"Oh. Wicked! Wait what about Sirius he will be all alone?" Harry said. "Well Remus will be here."
"We are going to come visit about every weekend." Sirius said.
"Plus we are going to be in and out during the week for order business." Remus added. Harry smiled.
"That's good at least I will be able to see you guys." Harry said.
"Harry do you want to start training now since we haven't anything else to do?" James asked.
"Sure I want to learn to be come an animagus more than anything." Harry said.
"Well we will start with a basic bit then. First, we need to find out your animal. Usually you already have one chosen or you can choose. I am going to do something it may hurt okay?" James said standing up with his wand out.
"Alright. Go on." Harry said. James moved his wand around and said an old Latin incantation. Harry felt a surge of energy come through him, straight to his heart where he heard the phoenix song surround him, and he opened his eyes. In front of him was what looked like a hologram projector coming out of his chest. A scarlet phoenix was flying playing the song.
"A phoenix, I thought so." Dumbledore said.
"Why is that?" Harry said as the song died.
"Courage, bravery, strength, flying..." Dumbledore named the characteristics of Harry and those of a phoenix.
"Now I want you to think of yourself transforming into a phoenix. Think of Fawkes. The was his feather's look, his eyes, and all the looks and maybe what it feels to fly." James said. Harry thought of the bird. The way the eyes, feathers, feet, beak, motions, movements, and other things that were of a phoenix. Then he felt a bit of pain, which to him was nothing but he still felt it, in his arms. He heard a gasp of the adults and he opened his eyes. What he saw must have been amazing for such fast progress for the first time. He saw was not his arms but long wings with very short feathers only going down to his fingers. He had only changed his skin to feathers.
"Good job. How are you feeling?" Dumbledore asked.
"A little drained like the first time I tried wandless." Harry said sitting down on the couch next to his mother who hugged him. Harry smiled as James sat next to him and Lily kissed his hand she was holding. Just like his baby picture. His arms turned back to normal. Remus and Dumbledore went to talk on the deck while Sirius and Julie went back to the Grimmauld Place. James was the first to talk.
"That was amazing Harry." James said to his son.
"Thanks." Harry said while he was leaning on his mother being hugged. His father was rubbing his back.
"So strange." Lily said.
"What?" James and Harry both asked.
"This doesn't feel different then when you were a baby. Now you are 16 and it feels like I have been here forever." Lily said.
"Me too." James said.
"Me three." Harry said. Sitting there laughing the family of three smiled. "Was I a good baby?"
"Oh yes, you were the best baby. Never cried and if you did you rarely did it. Always slept through the whole night and giggled all day. Only time you ever cried is when we didn't take you flying or let you play with our wands." James said.
"In the kitchen..." Harry said.
"What about it." Lily said.
"You gave me your wand and dad said...Lily too bad you learned the hard way, you aren't supposed to give your wand to a baby...right?" Harry asked.
"How do you know that?" James asked.
"When I asked mum about if she ever gave me her wand, I remembered when I touched the counter. I don't know I just somehow remembered it and something else too." Harry whispered. James laughed and looked at Harry it was like looking into a mirror. Except his eyes those green eyes, just like Lily's but they were lifeless. Like all the life had been taken a huge burden put onto them in return.
"Well one night..."
"No Harry you can't have my wand." Lily said to a baby with unruly black hair and bright green eyes. The baby gave a pout that made anyone give in. "Fine you win." Lily said giving the baby the piece of wood.
"Bad idea." James said from the doorway.
"Why is that?" Lily asked but was stopped when bubbles burst from behind her.
"Pronglet give mummy back her wand." James said.
"Da!" The little baby yelled in frustration he was in no way going to give up the wand.
"Pronglet let me have the wand please." James said again. The pout attacked him and he now cried out in frustration. "Please Pronglet?" James whined.
"PAFOO!" The baby yelled as a tall man stepped into the room.
"Hello Pronglet. What is going on?" Sirius asked.
"Lily gave her wand to Harry and Harry won't give it back he refuses." James said. "Lily too bad you learned the hard way, you aren't supposed to give your wand to a baby...right Sirius?"
"Paffoo? I called Sirius Pafoo?" Harry said.
"You couldn't say padfoot and one time you heard us say Padfoot and you said it referring to him." James said.
"I was stubborn." Harry said.
"And sometimes you still are." Hermione said walking into the room.
"Hey." Harry said. "That's not right."
"So you sometimes are." Hermione said leaning over the couch to kiss him on the cheek.
"I'd get up but I am too comfy. Plus I am spending time with my parents. Where is everybody?"
"They are trying to figure out how to get here with everything at once. They all can't apperate except the other trio, Ron, Luna, and me. Therefore, we have to find a way for Ginny and Jake to get here. Now I was thinking to use your car but I wasn't sure so...I wasn't sure what to do." Hermione said.
"Where's Ron?"
"Still there getting everyone packed and ready. I am going to borrow your car do you want to come or stay here?"
"I don't know."
"Make up your mind."
"How can I in this dilemma, oh and Dumbledore is staying for dinner."
"Oh okay but what does that have to do with coming to get the others?"
"Nothing just thought you let you know and we are starting training on Wednesday or Thursday.
"Oh are you coming?"
"I guess so. Is that alright?" Harry asked his parents.
"Yeah go on. You two haven't been together since the other day." James said.
"Yeah drive safe." Lily said to them as Harry got up and got his cloak.
"Can I have my car keys dad?" Harry asked James.
"I guess." James said handing over the mustang's keys.
"I will see you later." Harry said hugging his parents and kissing his mother on her cheek.
"Bye and be careful." Lily called after them.
"We will." Harry yelled back. Harry and Hermione got into the car and the engine roared to life. After driving for about ten minutes, Harry had to say something.
"Do you know the way there?" Harry asked.
"Yes, or I wouldn't have decided to take the car." Hermione said.
"True so how have you been?"
"Good how are you?" Hermione said grabbing his free hand.
"I guess I am okay. I mean here is my last three days. Get a girlfriend, show pictures to her, parents and godfather come back to life, pass out, freak out, drive to a disturbing place, get another surprise in party form, remember my birthday, become quidditch captain, take emotion trip, talk with undead and alive people, move in with parents, last but not least have a first sleepover. I don't know but considering my life just about a normal busy week." Harry said and chuckled a bit.
"Harry."
"What?"
"Sometimes you are too stubborn..."
"You know what?" Harry said pulling off to the side of the road.
"What?" Harry kissed her to make her shut up.
"Now please be quiet and no mind stuff either. Let's talk about something else please. How about school, sleepover, something besides Voldemort."
"Well the sleepover isn't going to start for probably another hour and then it will be about nine. We can eat then play some games then watch a movie before bed."
"Sounds good."
"Look we are here."
"That was quick."
"That is because we went through a short cut." Hermione said getting out of the car. She walked up next to Harry and held his hand as they walked up to the door and knocked. Mrs. Weasley came and answered as usual. They eventually got upstairs. Into Ron and Jake's room.
"Ready?" Hermione asked.
"Yeah." Jake said.
"Then go and put your bags downstairs. We are going to get everyone else." Harry said. Next, they went into Ginny and Luna's room. They went downstairs. Next to Tori and Kate's room, they went downstairs followed by Chris. It was around nine when they got back to Godric's Hollow. They were all still laughing at Kate
Flashback:
"A mustang!?" Kate shouted when she saw the black convertible. "Mustangs are the best. When did you get one?"
"S." Tori spelled.
"L." Chris spelled.
"O." Tori said.
"W." Chris said.
"SSSSSSSSSSLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWWWWW." The two said together. Which made everyone laugh.
End Flashback
The teens walked into the Potter's house still laughing a bit. The adults were all missing.
"MUM! DAD! We are home." Harry called throughout the house. "Where is everyone?" Harry said.
"I don't know." Hermione said.
"Alright, Chris, Tori, and Kate you check the third floor that is where everyone's bedrooms are. Ginny, Jake, and Luna check the second floor. The aren't here on this floor and we," Harry said pointing to Ron and Hermione. "Are going to check the basement when you find them just let us know." They all split up and Harry, Ron, and Hermione quietly went downstairs. They went into the room where they would sleep, then into the game room, and last was just storage. The trio went back upstairs and heard voices.
"Do you think this is the prank." Hermione asked.
"Nah. With Dumbledore I doubt it." Harry whispered. "I think they are out on the deck." Just then a small group of adults came in from outside. Remus, Sirius, James, Lily, Julie, Dumbledore all came in one by one.
"Hey how was the trip?" Lily asked smiling.
"Thank Merlin." Harry said.
"What?" James asked.
"We didn't see you guys anywhere or hear you." Hermione said.
"Don't worry kids. We won't leave." Remus said referring to dying. Lily went over and hugged Harry.
"Oh hold on a second." Harry said and ran upstairs. When he came back, there were six teens with him.
"Look at the time we need to start dinner." Hermione said nudging Harry.
"Yeah. Let's start." Harry said. Harry started to heat up the sauce. Hermione got out the pasta noodles and started to boil the water for them. Some of the teens went to drop of their bags and came back as the two teens entertained while cooking.
"Taste testers?" Harry asked.
"Yeah." Ron said.
"Me too." Ginny said.
"Me three." Kate said.
"Me four." Jake said.
"Me five." Tori said.
"Me six." Luna said.
"Me seven." Chris said.
"Well my assistant must help me first." Harry said giving Hermione some.
"Perfect." Hermione said. Harry levitated, with his hands, bread, sauce, and spoon to everyone.
"It's good." Ron said.
"I second that." Ginny said.
"I third it." Kate said.
"Fourth." Jake said.
"Fifth." Tori said.
"Sixth." Luna said.
"Seventh." Chris finished. Everyone laughed. The adults came walking in to see what all the commotions was.
"What's with all the ruckus?" Remus asked.
"Nothing just everyone liking the sauce." Hermione said.
"Would you like to try some Professor?" Harry said turning to see Dumbledore.
"Yes, thank you." Dumbledore said. Harry levitated some over to him. He tasted it and nodded.
"Very good." Dumbledore announced.
"Glad you like it. Pasta done?" Harry said.
"Yep. Just waiting for your sauce." Hermione said and smiled. Everyone went into the dining room and sat down and awaited the food. Harry levitated the hot stuff while Hermione brought in the other stuff like drinks and such.
"Hermione?" Harry whispered.
"Yeah?" Hermione said swallowing her pasta.
"How is the food?" Harry asked nervously.
"Why did you hide something in it again?" Hermione asked.
"Not this time, I am just making sure it tastes okay. Harry it is perfect don't worry." Hermione said soothingly. She held his hand in a comforting way.
"Thanks." Harry said.
"No problem." Hermione said.
"Harry?" Ron asked from his other side.
"Yeah?"
"You okay?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"No reason."
"Anyway want to- Dad?" Harry said.
"Yeah Proglet?" James said.
"Can we have a quidditch game with friends?"
"Sure, we can do that but not this week we are pretty busy. Maybe before school starts." James said.
"Alright." Harry said.
"Don't you dare pout either." James said.
"I wasn't going to." Harry said.
"But later maybe tomorrow we can go over what we are doing today."
"Sounds good."
"Alright then." Harry said. "Sirius?"
"Yeah?"
"How have you been?"
"Good I guess. How are you doing? I mean having your parents and me come back must be a big shock."
"I am good. I mean I don't have to be with the Dursleys anymore. I can't wait to get you free though. We have to do that."
"Yes I agree, but how to get me into the ministry with Lily and James without having people freak out?"
"Easy." Harry said. This conversation had attracted the attention of practically everyone at the table.
"How?" Sirius asked.
"Well it depends there are many options. First invisibility cloak or the disillusionment charm while I go in for an appointment. Second idea is to just walk right in. Third was for us to set up a hearing and have you a trail we can bring in those who are witnesses. Like my parents. Alternatively, combine all three. We may need the help of you though Professor." Harry said knowing he was listening.
"How long have you been thinking of this?" Dumbledore asked.
"This morning." Harry answered. "But I was hoping we could go sometime this week."
"I would have to get the minister to cooperate but we can pull it off." Dumbledore said.
"I don't think we would be able to walk right in there though people would kill us." James said.
"True, but most would be too shocked and we would be able to stun them before they got to us. They would have to realize who it was first, then react after shock. May not work but somewhat. Maybe go in, as your animagus forms but then everyone would know your forms. The best so far would probably be the cloak." Harry said.
"Very good ideas." Sirius said.
"Yes I just want you to be free that's all." Harry said.
"Me too." Hermione said.
"Me three." The rest of the teens said.
"Are we okay with the ministry yet? Are they still calling us liars?" Harry asked.
"No they actually agree for us. It will take a bit of persuading them to believe your parents and Sirius are real. In addition, we need to persuade him to keep it low. We don't need reporters swamping the house but if you plan to go out in public we will need to make sure people don't curse them while walking down the street." Dumbledore said.
"True but Professor wouldn't it be better to have the press to do one article in the prophet?" Hermione and Harry asked.
"Yes it would so maybe a short piece but nothing more than the first page. As we, all know it will be the first page. Small bits every now and then. We would also need to watch the reporters around here." Dumbledore said.
"Well we can always put up wards." Harry said laughing.
"I am not sure we can." Dumbledore said.
"I won't let them stay, if one hassles I will get rid of them. They will all find out and either draw more attention or stay away mostly the second is what I am guessing." Harry said.
"Harry it isn't that simple, but effective." James said.
"Exactly. No one with think of that. I drop my wand and use wandless. Look I don't want to be hit by the press...again." Harry said.
"Good point." Dumbledore said.
"May I say something?" Tori asked.
"Sure no one is stopping you." Harry said with a smile.
"Alright, anyway what if you went in and used vertisium they for one would have to believe you. Second, you would have to worry about answering many questions to the press. You would have to answer questions like how did you get back and what was it like dying. Third, wouldn't it be bad to go and show Voldemort your alive? Also you would have to remember that the press can 'bug' you a lot." Tori said.
"That's right we knew a reporter who was always in our hair." Hermione said. Tori, Kate, Chris, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all laughed.
"I don't get it." Sirius said.
"I'll tell you all later." Harry said.
"But you can't I-" Hermione started.
"Exactly you promised, I didn't but well talk about this later." Harry said and gave her a quick kiss. "We can figure this all out later now lets just relax tonight?"
"Yes as a matter of fact it is homework for you that you spend this whole night relaxing and nothing of the sort of Voldemort or other characterizes of any sort." Dumbledore said. "I must be going. Thank you for the wonderful dinner, it was excellent. I have business to attend to."
"Good-bye and thank you for coming." Harry said shaking his hand.
20 minutes later...
"Everyone just go downstairs for a bit while we get some things ready up here, Sirius, Remus, Mum and Dad can you help?" Harry asked.
"Sure." Sirius said. They all grabbed the sodas, butterbeers, chips, dip (no puns were intended), and other junk foods.
"What's the first game?" James asked.
"Truth or Dare." Harry said. He pulled out a glass bottle and put it on the floor. "I will go first who ever the bottle lands on with be asked truth or dare." Harry spun the bottle and it landed on Ginny. "Truth or Dare?"
"Dare." Ginny said with no fear in her voice.
"I dare you to...hmmm...I dare you to perform a tickling charm on yourself." Harry said.
"Harry do I have to?" Ginny asked being the most ticklish person in the room most likely.
"You chose dare, not me." Harry said and grinned while Ginny rolled on the ground laughing her butt off. A red-faced Ginny gathered herself, and spun the bottle she waited patiently for it to stop spinning and when it did it landed on Kate.
"Truth or Dare?" Ginny asked smiling mysteriously.
"Truth, I am not going to ask for a dare when you are furious." Kate laughed.
"Let me think of one. I know, what is your most dreading fear?" Ginny asked. Kate shifted a bit and answered.
"My worst fear is falling." Kate said. Kate happily spun the bottle landing on Sirius.
"Truth or dare?" Kate asked. (See Kate I gave you that one...)
"Dare." Sirius smiled.
"I dare you to...I have to make this good if it is for a marauder, I dare you to run outside and sing a the top of your lungs The Itsy Bitsy Spider." Kate grinned evilly.
"She made a good one." James said. Sirius and the rest of the party went outside and watched Sirius make a fool of himself. Now it was Sirius's turn and who ever it landed on was going to get it. The person it landed on was Remus.
"Oi." Remus muttered.
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Alrighty then, what is the most embarrassing thing you have ever done?" Everyone looked at him.
"The most embarrassing thing? That would probably have to be having you all find out my secret that isn't any longer a secret." Remus said.
"Oh, that isn't good." Sirius said, while Remus spun the bottle and having it land on Chris.
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"What is the most funny, maybe embarrassing moment you and your friends have done?"
"Easy, we put bubble bath in the showers, and when the quidditch team came in from their game they were flooded with bubbles." Chris said.
"I remember because me and Kate had to stay behind so we didn't get caught up in it." Tori said. Chris spun the bottle and it landed on Ron.
"Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Biggest fear?"
"Spiders." Ron, Hermione, Ginny, Luna, Harry, and Remus said. They all laughed. Ron spun and it landed on James.
"Truth or dare."
"Dare."
"Figures, anyway, I dare you to duel Harry...again." Ron said. Harry got up and walked over to the middle of the circle. James bowed.
"I have a minor question, why do we bow, if you were to duel a death eater or Voldemort, like I have, why bow? They aren't going to wait." Harry said.
"Good point. Stupefy!" James yelled.
"Hey! Protego, Stupefy." Harry said with his wand and hand. James dodged both stunners, the one that bounced off the shield and the one from Harry.
"Impedimenta!" James yelled. Harry dodged it.
"Conjunctivitis." Harry sent with his hand. James dodged it.
"Expelliumis!(sp)" James said, Harry who almost dodged it had his wand fly out of his hand and into James. James thinking he won forgetting Harry had wandless magic, didn't expect the stunner heading for him. Claps came from the group who watched for a while trying to figure out who was who. Only finding out who was who when Harry used his hand. The two were dressed in sweat pants and t-shirts.
"Harry, wake up your father please?" Lily asked.
"Sure, Mum." Harry said smiling.
"Enervate." Harry said with his hand.
"Your son beat you AGAIN." Sirius said.
"Shut it Padfoot. He's good, better than you." James said sitting up, while Sirius transformed into a bear like dog and jumped on James. "Harry can I have a hand." Harry started clapping. James and everyone laughed even Sirius, if that is possible. "You know what I mean." Harry held out his hand and pulled Sirius into a hug, while James got a chance to get away. The dog wriggled out and changed into his godfather.
"Cheater." Sirius said to James.
"How's that?" James said.
"One, you have thumbs. Two, using Harry to get me away. Just like when he was a baby too. He used to make you crawl over and lay on him so I couldn't jump on him." Sirius said.
"My TURN!" James yelled like a sixteen year old. He spun and it landed on Harry. He smiled.
"Oh no."
"Oh yes."
"Dare."
"Dare?"
"Yeah."
"Hold on I must discuss this with my fellow marauders." James said summoning the adults upstairs.
"So what are we going to do to him?" Sirius asked.
"I don't know but don't hurt my baby." Lily said.
"We aren't going to hurt him, Lils, are we?" Remus asked with a bit of fear.
"No, just embarrass him a bit." James grinned evilly.
After about a half hour, the marauders came back downstairs, James having something behind his back.
"Okay, Pronglet, I dare you to wear this." James said holding out a frilly pink dress.
"Alright." Harry said with no emotion showing.
'I can't believe this, Hermione I will miss you when I die of embarrassment.' Harry thought getting up and giving her a kiss.
'Please.' Hermione thought, though she did accept the kiss. Harry was handed the dress and he went into the bathroom and dressed into his dress. Then he came out, he was smiling?
"Alright now that I have done this dare would you mind looking at your clothes?" Harry said pointing to James, Sirius, Remus, and Lily. James, Sirius, and Remus were wearing pink dresses similar to Harry's and Lily was wearing a three-piece suit. Everyone laughed at all of them. Mostly the looks on the adult's faces. Harry sat down next to Hermione.
"You are such a goofball." Hermione said leaning on his right side.
"But I am your goofball." Harry said kissing her temple.
"Go get changed and where is Godric and Rosie?" Hermione asked.
"I don't know hold on." Harry said.
'Godric?' Harry thought.
'Yes, Harry?' Godric answered.
'Where are you?' Harry asked.
'Outside with Rosie.' Godric said.
'Can you come inside please. I just installed a doggie or well creature door for you, with magic. You are making Hermione and me worry.'
'Okay, Harry.' A girl voice said.
'Rosie?' Harry asked.
'Yes silly.' Rosie said.
'How?' Harry asked.
'Because of my mind.' Hermione said.
'Hi Hermione.' Godric said.
'Hello Godric, hello Rosie.' Hermione said.
'Hello Hermione.' Rosie said.
'Mione?' Harry said.
'Mione?' Hermione asked.
'Yeah is that okay.' Harry asked.
'Yeah you may want to move or something your parents and everyone else is looking at you funny. You need to figure out how to mind communicate while looking we aren't mind talking.' Hermione said.
'Well we will come inside in a bit we have to make our way back. We are at the pitch.' Godric said.
'See you soon.' Harry and Hermione said in usion. Harry went and dressed as another hour of truth or dare passed Godric and Rosie found a nice spot in the laps of Harry and Hermione. Godric in Hermione's and Rosie in Harry's.
"Why don't we watch a movie? Also why do you have Hermione's lion?" James asked.
"Sure and I don't know." Harry said. A murmur of agreement came to the movie idea. Everyone went upstairs to the couch. Hermione, Harry, Godric, and Rosie all sat in a comfortable position. Ron and Luna sat next to each other. Kate, Chris, and Tori all lay on the floor next to each other. Ginny and Jake sat on the floor close together. The adults all sat on the remainder of the couch and armchairs.
"Lily I don't know how to work this thing. Can you do it?" James asked.
"Sure hunny." Lily said looking at the video tape. "James do you really want to watch a scary movie? How about you kids?" Lily added.
"I don't care." Harry, James, and Sirius said.
"It doesn't matter." The other trio said.
"Same here." Hermione, Luna, and Ginny all said.
"As long as there aren't any spiders." Ron said. Everyone laughed as the movie started. The movie was a comedy scary movie. It was called Good Ghouls Go Bad. (Btw it is a funny movie sorry for the delay of Halloween) they all laughed during the movie. Mostly everyone was asleep by the end of the movie. It being midnight may have something to do with it. Harry blinked as his mother turned on the soft light.
"Harry can you help us levitate everyone?" Lily asked.
"Sure, I can levitate about five people. Godric and Rosie can you guys go downstairs and wait?" The creatures nodded and went downstairs into the basement. Harry levitated Hermione, Ron, Luna, Tori, and Kate. James took Ginny and Sirius took Jake. Lily and Remus got more blankets. When everyone was in the basement and the one who were asleep in bed Harry and the adults went back upstairs into the kitchen.
"You should go to bed." Sirius said.
"I don't want to." Harry said. "I am not really tired."
"Well, you can't stay up too late." Lily said.
"Are you going to sleep downstairs with us?" Harry asked.
"Sure if you want." James said. Harry smiled as Godric jumped onto his lap, while he sat himself at the table. Sirius sat across from him, James next to him, Lily on the other side of him, and Remus next to Sirius.
"I had fun tonight. Thanks." Harry said.
"We did too." Lily said.
"I have a question." Sirius said to Harry.
"Alright, shoot." Harry said.
"My question is how did you learn wandless magic in about a week?" Sirius asked.
"I don't know I was super bored and needed to keep my mind off you." Harry said. I didn't sleep much so I spent most of my nights reading. Also practicing." Harry said.
"Why couldn't you sleep and why didn't you tell me in those letters, which by the way Lily kept stealing after she found out you would have a break down when you saw them.
"No one would tell us anything. We didn't even know Sirius died." James said.
"I didn't want you to have to know I was reliving his death, because him dying hit you harder than it probably me, and I didn't know he was alive. If I did, though I would have probably started for the Grimmauld Place by myself.
"True but you should have said something." Remus said.
"Well if I had, you would have taken away a advantage that I have over Voldemort." Harry said.
"True." Sirius said.
"Why don't we try and talk about something else." Lily said.
"Sounds good to me." Harry said. "But what?"
"Who is this?" Lily asked pointing to Godric.
"This is Godric, my mini lion. He has our eyes and my scar." Harry said handing her the mini lion. She took him and smiled. He did have his and her eyes and his scar.
"What about me? Nothing of mine?" James asked.
"I think it is because I look so much more like you that it doesn't show in him and other wise these are my most noticeable features." Harry said. "Actually, that can work to our advantage. If dad posed as me we can get everyone else in and persuade Fudge that it is you guys and I'll come out. This can work when can we go to the ministry. I can do the disillusionment charm so we don't have to use the cloak. It's perfect."
"Tomorrow or well today why don't we go to bed and figure out the rest in the morning." James said as everyone then made their way down the steps and to their beds. Harry crawled into his bed, which was next to Hermione's and smiled. Tomorrow Sirius would be a free man...
