Howdy! Sorry for the taking forever to update, but my laptop died death march plays….okay…any who so I thought I lost my chapter, but I found it on a disk thank Merlin! Although y'all don't probably care much anyways, just as long as I get the updates out right?
Any who...
By the way, there will be a segment in here that will not exactly make sense, but just pretend it does. It has to do with the memory that will be in here.
Chapter 37: The Plan
Harry woke with a start, the small lion lying on his stomach in a ball growled when this quick motion was made. Harry had missed his pet, Godric had to go and get a check up with Hagrid for the past two days. Hagrid had to make sure all the pets got their correct shots and made sure they were in top condition. Suddenly his window curtains opened and a figure stood in front of the windows. Harry groaned when this sudden light was introduced to his eyes. He frantically felt for his glasses and put them on. The figure was now gone, but he felt movement on the other side of his bed. Harry looked for the source and saw Hermione climbing in next to him.
"Good morning." She whispered, leaning down and gave him a quick, but deep kiss. Godric leap from Harry's stomach off the bed and onto the floor to greet Rosie. Hermione's hair tickled his face and he smiled up at her.
"Good morning." Harry replied, leaning up to kiss her back, putting a hand gently behind her neck resting his thumb just before her ear to guide her down back to him. Hermione adjusted herself and laid down next to him, and had put a hand through his hair, resting it on the top to bring him towards her. Harry's other hand had found its way to rest on her stomach. The two stopped for breath, both eyes shining brightly.
"So far it is." Hermione said, smartly. Harry smirked at her and rolled over, taking her with him.
"Aren't you just the clever one?" Said Harry. He paused for a moment and nodded his head agreeing with himself. Hermione giggled at him, an intoxicating sound, thought Harry to himself.
"So are you ready for today?" Harry asked.
"I came to say good morning to you and that I am going to meet you in the courtyard when we've got to board the carriages." Hermione said, smiling brightly. "I will have to spend about an hour with Ginny, Luna, Kate, and Tori when we get there though." She added.
"What for?" Questioned Harry.
"We're going to the costume shop, you see we're having a Halloween Ball this year and it's a masquerade theme." Hermione explained.
"Are we going to tell each other what we're going to be?" Harry asked.
"I'm not sure yet. If you want we can, we can do a matching costume thing. Sort of like a king and queen idea, not Romeo and Juliet, that's a bit over done if you, ask me." Hermione suggested.
"Plus, I don't do tights." Joked Harry.
"It'd be quite funny, if you ask me." Giggled Hermione.
"It'd be the funniest thing in the world if my Dad did it, although if he did it'd kind of look like me doing it anyways, so yeah..." Harry said, thinking. Hermione smiled at him, got up, and stood at the end of his bed. She observed him, Harry wasn't sure if this was a good or bad thing. He noticed her thinking face was set. She reached and quickly grabbed his blanket and pulled it off his bed. Harry immediately curled into a ball; he was cold, even though he was wearing his snitch pajamas.
"C'mon, get up you lazy bum!" Hermione laughed.
"I'm not lazy!" Harry grumbled he figured he could have gotten another hour of sleep.
"Then why are you still in bed? It's almost 9!" Hermione said.
"That's not late." Harry said, summoning a blanket. He curled up in it and tried to go back to sleep. Hermione went to wrench the blanket off him, but the curtains to the window and bed closed. The room was bathed in darkness. Hermione tried to open the curtains, but they would not, neither would.
"Harry!" Hermione whined.
"Can't hear you, lalalalala." Harry said, in a low voice.
"Don't make me." Hermione said, holding out her hands towards his bed.
"You can try." Harry mumbled, knowing what she was planning. Hermione reared her hands back and as if to push the power towards the bed, she quickly whipped them at the bed. The wave of power bounced back and it began to tickle Hermione, she was shocked, she hadn't sent the tickling charm.
----
Great Hall...
"So where are they?" Kate asked.
"Well Hermione told us to go ahead and she was going to wake up Harry." Chris explained, fixing his bagel.
"How come it's always them missing?" Tori said, laughing.
"Because they're a couple and they've always got to be together." Ron said, finally swallowing. His table manners were improving...slowly. Luna nodded she was next to him.
"So why do we leave them alone?" Draco asked.
"Because we never learn." Ron said.
"So who wants to bet they're up there fighting with magic and one of them is going to have something wrong with them when they come down?" Tori asked.
"I'll defiantly take the latter." Draco said. The rest agreed. About ten minutes passed before the students were distracted by a noise coming from the Entrance Hall. The noise stopped as Hermione walked in clutching her sides, and biting her lip. She had a piece of parchment in her hand. She sat at the table and handed Chris the parchment.
"'Help me, Harry put me on a strange tickling charm, I can't get it off.'" He read, waving his hand at her, she relaxed and took her hands away from her sides and stopped biting her lip. Her lip was still a very rosie red.
"So I take it he's still sleeping?" Kate quirked, her smile knowing.
"Yes." Hermione said bitterly. The group burst out laughing, Luna fell over onto the floor still laughing after everyone had stopped. They all looked to Ron and he just smiled at her.
"So..." Draco shot for conversation.
"What's everyone doing today in Hogsmeade?" Said Tori, noticing he was trying to start conversation.
"Costume shopping, that's for sure." Kate imputed.
------
Back with Harry…
Harry finally awoke wondering why it was so dark in his bedroom. The images flooded his mind, he laughed at them. By now, he was attempting to make his way into his bathroom. After preparing for his big day with Hermione and apologizing to her as well.
"I've got to turn on the famous Potter charm to her to at least look at me." Harry said to his smirking reflection. He dressed in his family's robes and began his journey to the Entrance Hall. His parents could be seen monitoring the students. Harry smiled as Lily swatted away James who was whispering into her ear. They both smiled and laughed. Upon seeing Harry, they smiled and waved to him. James gave him thumbs up, knowing of his plans. Harry smiled and waved back his Dad whispered something else into Lily's ear, making her roll her eyes and smile. Harry searched the sea of people for the one he loved. He bumped into the other trio while searching.
"Hiya, Harry." They greeted.
"Hullo, have you seen Hermione?" Harry asked in urgency.
"Yeah, she said she was going outside to meet you in the courtyard." Tori answered.
"Thanks have a good one!" Harry shouted as he made his way through the crowd and to the courtyard. He saw her bundled in her order cloak, her cheeks slightly pink from the cold breeze. She saw Harry and resisted the urge to smile.
Harry wondered if she had seen him, but it looked to him as if she was staring right through him with a blank expression. He came up to her and offered his hand.
"I'm angry with you." She said in a fake meaning. Harry believed it to be true.
"Look, I'm sorry about this morning. Can you find it in your lovely heart to forgive the boy who loves you to death?" Harry asked, smiling in a charming way.
"Maybe, if he treats me like I am the girl he's madly in love with." Hermione replied a smile ever so vaguely graced her lips.
"That can be arranged." Harry said, he quickly and swiftly picked her up in a cradle fashion and carried her, despite her protests, to an empty carriage. A few girls were in awe at how nice and romantic of a boyfriend Harry Potter was. Harry helped Hermione into the carriage before getting in himself. He sat next to her, wrapping his arms around her and whispered in her ear.
"For you, will I only act this way because I am so madly in love." She turned her face to meet his and leaned in for a long kiss as the carriage began its decent to Hogsmeade.
Only did the kiss break when the carriage stopped abruptly. The two smiled at each other before breaking apart. Harry got out first so he could help Hermione down. He offered his hand and she accepted. He led her to a small restaurant tucked away from the busiest area of Hogsmeade.
The place was decently lit with candles and tables for two set in differently arranged areas. Harry led Hermione to one in a corner as she took in the beautiful decorations and paintings.
"Do you like it?" Harry asked in an expectant tone.
"I love it." She whispered in reply, still looking around.
"Good, now look at the menu and order what ever your heart desires from lobster to chocolate cake. I don't care." Harry said, laughing.
"I've never had lobster before." Hermione said, after thinking.
"Me either." Harry responded.
"Well, maybe, I'll try it." Hermione smirked.
"Okay, you get the lobster and I'll get the chocolate cake." Harry said smiling and laughing. Hermione gave a giggle.
"Have you ever had roast duck?" She asked quizzically.
"Hermione, you're talking to me here." Harry replied.
"Oh, right, sorry." Hermione agreed.
"How about you get the lobster and I'll get the duck and we'll share. Then chocolate cake!" Harry said, smiling.
"Sounds like a plan, Mr. Potter." Hermione smirked.
"Good, Ms. Granger." Replied Harry.
----
Later….
"Harry, we're going to be late!" Hermione plead.
"Just one more bite! You have it. You deserve it, Mione." Harry said, holding out the fork to her with chocolate cake on it.
"I don't want it, you eat it." Hermione said starting to get angry.
"But you shall get the last piece, my darling." Harry said in an urging manner.
"You eat it." Hermione argued. She could not help but see how adorable Harry was.
"I will follow you to the end of the world so you will eat this last bite!" Harry said stubbournly.
"Fine!" Hermione said letting Harry feed it to her.
"Was that so hard?" Harry asked. Hermione just smiled and kissed him. She walked away towards the costume shop. The two walked into the store hand in hand and were welcomed by the other teens.
Harry and Hermione had both decided it would be more fun if they didn't tell each other what or who they were going to be. The girls parted from the boys.
---
Girls…
"How's your date with Harry going?" Ginny asked Hermione.
"Fine, how's your visit going?" Hermione inquired, having an inkling that she wasn't here alone.
"Just delightful!" Ginny said all too quickly.
"Who do you think will have the best costume?" Luna asked.
"Harry." They all responded.
----
Boys…
"What are you lot being?" Ron asked.
"Ron, the point to a masquerade is to not know who everyone else is." Chris explained.
"Oh…" Ron mustered.
"Who do you think will have the best costume slash disguise?" Harry asked fixing his tie. He was already trying on costumes.
"You!" They all responded.
----
Later…
"Harry, you don't have to buy me this!" Hermione protested.
"Too late." Harry said, handed her the necklace. "Wait, let me." Harry said, putting it on for her. While he did, he kissed the back of her neck, which made her knees slightly buckle. Harry smirked to himself.
Harry woke early that morning the sun wasn't even up yet. He sat up and stretched. Stumbling to the bathroom sleepily, he brushed his teeth and took a hot shower. He dressed in the Potter robes again, and then double-checked to make sure he had everything. He shut his duffle bag, picked up Godric, and carefully set him in his book bag in a cave of blankets to protect him.
Harry quietly shut his door and began to walk across the common room when a voice called him. He whipped around and saw his girlfriend standing in front of her door with Rosie in her arms.
"Yes?" He replied he didn't want anyone to know he was leaving this morning.
"Where're you going?" Hermione asked, seeing his luggage. Harry put down his duffle and book bag, it was opened at that top; Godric popped his head out to see what was going on. Harry crossed the room, kissed her sweetly on the lips, and whispered, "Love you." And left.
Hermione followed, but he had disappeared already. She sighed and went back to her room and began to read another book, her memory journal from Harry. It was form the past training.
Memory:
"Uncle Godric," Harry began, walking to the middle of the Great Hall for a demonstration he was volunteered for.
"Let's see what you're made of…" Godric said, coxing him into the duel. The two drew their wands, as if they were swords from their sheaths, each cast a quick disarming spell. The two both easily dodged it. The mentors and students watched form the head table with excitement.
Godric transfigured a table into a blockade and charmed it to move with him. Harry made the table explode, sending Godric backwards into a stonewall. Harry waited for him to stand back up before attacking again, showing his sportsmanship and fairness. Godric stood flicking his wrist silently casting a charm with his wand. Harry was disarmed and Godric had thought he had won, but Harry conjured a red orb and fired it at Godric. Godric was stunned (in both meanings) and fell to the floor. Rowena, first of the adults to regain focus, spoke.
"Harry! Why haven't you mentioned this before?" She yelled Harry felt as if he were being lectured by Professor McGonagall.
"I thought you knew!" Harry yelled back, knowing it was okay to yell back at them. They considered each other equals. His anger was rising quickly.
"How would we know if you could or couldn't do wandless magic, Potter!" Said Salazar in an annoyed Snape fashion.
"You know plenty about us already before we even got here!" Harry argued. Hermione watched herself try to step forward towards Harry, but he had put up a bubble around himself. She rolled her eyes as Ron grabbed her shoulders to pull her back. He had had a bad experience with one of Harry's bubble spaces.
"Don't." Ron whispered.
"How are we to know everything?" Godric answered his relative.
"So what! I can do wandless magic! Ooh!" Harry said, waving his hands, making the chairs in the room levitate and spin. "And I can do this!" He added, making music come out of nowhere. "And this!" He made the table repair itself and joined the others in the air. "And this!" The candles and torches, in the air and on the walls, flames change colours. "And this!" He yelled making the people in the room levitate. "And this!" He repeated having made the window panes begin to shake from the power coming from the young wizard. They shook as he made the starry ceiling change to day, night, and different seasons.
The adults and teens were confused with awe. While floating in the air, present, Hermione noticed Harry growing pale but had the familiar glow of green around him when he used massive power. Nevertheless, as she remembered Harry had disappeared, leaving them gently descending from their height. She followed Harry into the Great Hall, the broom closet, and into the room of requirement.
"So this is where he went." She whispered to herself.
Harry waited in his parent's sitting room for his father to make sure he had everything too. James finally declared he was ready and prepared himself to floo to Godric's Hollow.
"Dad, you don't have to go that way." Harry said, almost perceived in a bored manner.
"I don't want to walk all the way down to Hogsmeade-" James was interrupted by his son.
"You don't have to do either…" Harry said.
"Then you make a portkey, I don't know-" He was interrupted again.
"Neither you have to do, grab your things." Harry said, grabbing his own duffle bag, approaching his father.
"Then what-" James said after grabbing his duffle bag, but wasn't able to finish-yet again-Harry grabbed his arm and did what no one else could do, apparated out of Hogwarts.
"This is cool," Harry said staring at the fountain. Godric Gryffindor stood in the early sunlight dressed in brass.
"Harry! How did you do that!" James asked, ignoring his wife's ancestor's statue.
"Dad, why bother asking anymore?" Said Harry in a small, tired sounding voice. It reminded James of Remus's voice when he was asked about his…condition.
"Why are we here and not home?" James asked, realizing where they were for the first time.
"Well, if Remus and Sirius are home I didn't want you to wake them with all your questions." Harry explained to his father.
James nodded and began to follow his son to their home. James was started to wonder why he hadn't thought about Remus and Sirius being home.
Harry waved his hand and the door to the house unlocked and opened silently. He listened for a moment for voices. Having not heard anything, he and James slipped into the foyer, and up the stairs quickly and quietly. James and Harry both went into Harry's bedroom. Harry pulled out his invisibility cloak from his duffle bag. He put it on and told his father he was going to see if the residents of the home were up yet.
Harry apparated into Remus's room without a sound, like usual. He was sleeping in his bed with a peaceful look on his face. Harry began to rethink his and his father's plan. He figured he'd worry about it later. He then apparated into Sirius's room. Harry almost screamed in surprise when he apparated behind his godfather. Sirius moved in his chair at his desk. He turned around from his desk. He seemed to have been writing a letter. Harry resisted the urge to read the letter. His godfather stood and crossed the room to his dresser. After grabbing his sweater, he returned to the desk to finish his letter. Sirius sighed looking at his letter. Harry desperately wanted to read the letter, and decided to after seeing his name mentioned.
Dear James,
How's school? Ha-ha, just kidding around, Prongs. Siriusously! (Couldn't resist, mate) I think that Harry is hiding something from us. He…
Harry looked away he didn't want to know. As his godfather sighed once more, Harry silently sat on his godfather's bed. Sirius looked in his direction for a moment upon seeing the curtains move. He looked over with a skeptic face. Harry froze when the man stood.
"Who's in here?" Sirius asked in a dangerous tone. Harry was scared for his life. He apparated to the doorway and changed his eye colour to hazel, and covered his scar with magic. Compliments of Fred and George. He took the cloak off and threw it down the hallway. Sirius heard the noise and looked up.
"James?" Sirius asked in a confused manner.
"Sirius?" Harry mocked.
"What are you doing home?" Sirius inquired.
"Just coming by to say hello." Harry covered. "Can't I come and visit my two best friends?"
"Of course!" Sirius exclaimed. "Are you alone?"
"Err,…Padfoot. I'm standing right here by myself, you're the only other-" Harry began sarcastically.
"I mean did you bring anyone with you?" Sirius asked a little annoyed.
"No," Harry lied.
"Okay, come in here!" Sirius didn't wait for an answer, pulled Harry into his room, and closed the door. Harry immediately noticed something was wrong.
"What's wrong, Padfoot?" Harry asked sincerely.
"James, I feel empty." He started outright.
"You hungry?" Harry said trying to get a laugh out of Sirius.
"No," Sirius said, giving a small laugh. "You have Lily and Harry. I want something like that! Nevertheless, I can't find the right one! They either want to date me because I'm Sirius Black and they don't want to date me for the same reason! I'm going nuts, James!" Sirius paused, waiting for his friend to reply with advice.
"I don't know how much help I could be, considering the situation…" Harry paused.
"I know, James, but I figured you could help a tiny bit." Sirius said, Harry saw his pain.
"Look, Sirius, you'll find her, or she'll find you…I promise." Harry said.
"How can you promise that?" Sirius asked desperately.
"No questions now…" Harry said.
"You're starting to sound more and more like Harry." Sirius joked.
"He's having an effect on me." Harry said laughing.
"He is…to all of us. I hate to say this, because I have all the support and trust in him, but what if he's not strong enough?" Sirius asked.
"I have the same fear, but I am trying to look at the silver lining rather than the worst that can happen. That silver lining is no more Voldemort." Harry said, not lying about anything.
"That'd be so nice. It's only months now…He's going to have to work and train hard. He will need a very long vacation afterwards. And both know if he decides to disappear after the war without notice, no one will be able to find him." Sirius said, taking a moment to laugh. "He's defiantly your son."
"Yeah, hey look I'm going to take a nap. I've got some errands I need to run later." Harry explained.
"Alright, same with me. Talk to you later, Prongs." Sirius said and then added. "And thanks…"
"No problem, Padfoot." Harry said, smiling.
Hermione sat petting Rosie, watching the sunrise above the clouds. Eventually, without realizing it happen, the light of the sun shone on her eyes, blinding her. She stood from the armchair and went into her room to dress for the day ahead. Although, she did her best to hide it, she couldn't help but wonder where her Harry could be.
"Hermione?" A whispered voice called.
"What?" She whispered back.
"Come out here." The voice replied, referring to the common room. Hermione cautiously walked out into the common room. Lily was standing behind the armchair wringing her hands.
"Oh! It's only you, Lily." Hermione whispered.
"Come with me?" Lily said pleadingly. Hermione smiled knowingly. She missed James as she missed Harry.
"Of course, Lily." Hermione said, following Lily down to the Great Hall. It was Sunday and hardly anyone sat in the Great Hall, hoping to catch these early hours for more rest for the long week ahead.
"So where do you think they went?" Lily asked, biting into an apple.
"We can only guess." Hermione said bluntly with laughter.
"Too true." Lily agreed.
Harry slipped back into his bedroom, making sure Sirius hadn't seen him do so. He also made sure to grab his invisibility cloak on the way without notice. Harry also changed his features back.
James stood in the middle of the room with a pondering look etched on his face.
"Dad?" Harry whispered. He thought he should put silencing charms on his room. He did so with a wave of his hand.
"Son?" James mocked. Harry fought the urge to laugh, he had done the same thing to Sirius no less than 20 minutes ago.
"Sirius knows you're here. He just thinks you're visiting and thinks I'm not here and only you are." Harry said, figuring he'd leave out Sirius's relationship problems. He didn't want to worry his father anymore than he was.
"WHAT!" James yelled. Thank Merlin for silencing charms, Harry thought to himself.
"Calm down. Breath…" Harry said.
"He knows I'm here? Won't he be suspicious? What did you say? Did it look like he bought it?" James rambled.
"You're just full of questions this morning aren't you?" Harry said, crossing the room and lying down on his bed. His father sat down at the desk in the armchair. Harry grabbed the tennis ball out of his nightstand drawer. He tossed it to his father who tossed it back.
"First question's answer, yes he knows you're here. Second, he was at first suspicious but I told him you were just visiting, and you had to do some errands. Third, he bought it." Harry explained.
"Okay, good. What does he think I'm doing now?" James asked concerned.
"He thinks you are taking a quick nap." Harry continued to explain.
"Good, good." James said to himself.
"Now, we must think of questions to ask…erm…you know." Harry said.
"Already done, I even have them written down to make sure I don't forget any." James said.
"Way to stay on top, Dad." Harry said, throwing the ball back.
"What's Remus doing?" James quizzed.
"Sleeping when I saw him." Harry answered.
"Good." James replied. The two threw the ball back and forth until they heard both residents go downstairs to start their day. They checked the clock and figured it'd be a good time to go to their house. Harry checked the paper and looked to his father, who nodded. Harry apparated himself and his father to the address. They stood in front of a spacious flat somewhere in Bristol.
"Here goes nothing." Harry said, stepping up to the door. He looked at his father before taking a deep breath and using the doorknocker to alert those inside guests had arrived. Footsteps could be heard in the distance.
"Dad, disillusion yourself." Harry said. James looked confused for a moment before performing the spell. The door opened revealing an attractive woman with dark brown hair and beautiful blue eyes.
"Can I help-" She stopped herself. "You? Ja-James?"
"No, Harry." Harry corrected her, he smiled a charming smile to comfort her.
"How could have I made the mistake, you have Lily's eyes. Come in, come in." The woman said. Harry felt his father get in only just before him.
"Please excuse our flat, we weren't expecting anyone." The woman said, she still hadn't looked away from Harry. "And please excuse me for staring, I haven't seen you since you were a baby. Well, except for the Daily Prophet and such. Evil people they are at the Daily Prophet." She rambled and hugged him quickly. Another woman with blonde hair came strolling in with a tray of tea. She squeaked and dropped the tray. Harry quickly waved his hand just before it hit the floor. He levitated it up back into her hands.
"Harry?" She whispered, leaving the tray to levitate. She crossed the room and enveloped him into a tight hug. "Excuse me for that, I haven't seen you since you were so young."
"It's quite alright." Harry said.
"Oh dear!" The brown-haired woman said. Harry and the blonde-haired woman both looked at her with question.
"What is it?" The blonde-haired woman asked.
"Where are our manners? Sitting here carrying on about knowing Harry since he was but a baby. He doesn't even know our names or who we even are!" The brown-haired woman explained.
"Oh goodness, you're right." The blonde-haired woman said. Harry had an idea who was whose future bride. The brown-haired woman was Sirius's fiancée and the blonde Remus's. It just made sense that the talkative one would match with Sirius. The blonde-haired woman quiet and shy would belong with Remus.
"I'm Krystal Sheer." The brown-haired woman said.
"My name is Abigail Donleavy, you can call me Abby." The blonde-haired woman said. Harry hugged them both and greeted them by their names.
"Please sit down." Abby said. Harry sat on one of the comfortable couches.
"Do you have any questions for us?" Krystal asked.
"Yes, and so does someone else." Harry said, the two women squeaked as James appeared next to Harry.
"James!" They both yelled, running to him for a hug. The three were in tears.
"It's really you." Were said by all three. Eventually, the three settled down enough and sat down.
"We need some answers." Harry began. The two women nodded.
"What happened?" James asked.
"Well…" Krystal began.
"Just think a double wedding!" Krystal said excited to finally be getting married to the man she's loved for years. Her blonde-haired friend nodded, finishing stitching the hem of the wedding gown.
"All done, Krystal." Abby said, standing up. Krystal magicked the dress away and was left in her clothes. A knock came at the door and Abby went to answer it.
"Peter? How are you?" Abby said, greeting her friend. "What's wrong?" She noticed his face, it was pale and sick looking.
"James…Lily…Harry…" Peter said, putting on the best show of his life.
"What happened!" Krystal shouted.
"They're dead! He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!" Peter said. The two women screamed, bursting into tears. "I must go, I have to tell Sirius and Remus." The two women nodded, hugging each other for comfort. Death Eaters burst through the door. The two women screamed, both ran for the stairs. The two grabbed an emergency broom from the closet and awkwardly flew off into the night. Not bothering to look back to see the Dark Mark hovering above their house. Neither returned to that house to this day.
"He was there, in your house." Harry said angry.
"Yes, we didn't know until recently that he was still alive. We both had figured with Sirius in prison, James and Lily dead, us supposedly dead, we should start our life over." Krystal explained.
"What! And just leave Remus and Sirius! How could you?" Harry said clearly outraged.
"Harry, they did the best thing." James said.
"How do you-" Harry said.
"If they had come out of hiding they wouldn't be here right now. They sacrificed love for that." James explained. Harry nodded.
"I need to ask you some questions." James continued.
"Anything, James." Abby said.
"What are you're full names?"
"Krystal Lynn Sheer." Krystal replied.
"Abigail Mary-Ann Donleavy." Abby answered.
"What is Sirius's animagus form?" James asked.
"A dog." Answered Krystal.
"What is Remus's animagus form?" Abby looked confused at the question.
"He doesn't have one, he's a werewolf. You three became animaguses so you could keep him company during his transformations." Abby said.
"Who was in charge of your wedding?"
"No one really, except our mothers. They were going absolutely nuts, Harry. You should've seen. Poor Sirius, my mother couldn't get over his long hair and motorcycle." Krystal began.
"I think they pass." James whispered in Harry's ear.
"One more." Harry replied.
"One more question, ladies." Harry said.
"Shoot." Abby said.
"Sirius and Remus are like my extra/stand in fathers. I want to make sure that we're doing the right thing here." He paused as the two nodded. "When I was a baby Sirius and Remus gave me what in my bottle that Dad went nuts over?" Harry asked.
"When did they tell you about that?" James asked.
"A while ago." Harry responded calmly.
"Krystal, you come and tell me in the other room. Abby tell Dad in here." Harry directed. Krystal followed Harry into the kitchen.
"It was expired baby calming draught, they put it in your bottle." Krystal said almost instantly.
"Thank you." Harry said. The two walked back into the living room. He looked at his Dad who shook his head. "Dad, can I talk to you in the kitchen?"
"Sure." James replied, following him into the kitchen. Harry put a bubble up around the two.
"They aren't lying." Harry said.
"How can you be so sure?" James asked.
"One, Krystal knew the calming draught question and…I slipped strong undetectable vertiserum in their teas. It was when Abby dropped the tray. It's so undetectable, you can't tell if someone is under it." Harry explained.
"Wow." James said. Harry released the bubble and the two walked back into the living room.
"Here's the plan." Harry said, surprising James.
