Recap: "I see. Well lets go in I really need to change this saw dust is driving me nuts."

"Lets."

With that the two entered the house.

Chapter 8. And the Truth . . .

Things started to look up for Harry in the following weeks as he made his peace with his son. In which he found out that he had a very nasty streak of pranking unsuspecting victims, everyone except Harry that is.

"How is it that I can never prank him?" He asked the two girls.

"Think about it James. How is it that you never got Mum, Uncle Ron, or Aunt Hermione?" Lily asked.

"Huh?"

"Most of the pranks you use are invented by Fred and George, remember." Sapphire said.

"Oh. I forgot. Well lets get together and get Mum and Dad. What?" James asked when he saw that they were shocked.

"Did you just call Harry your dad?" Lily asked.

"Why not you two do it all the time, besides he was thrilled beyond belief when I called him dad." James said.

"When was this?"

"About three weeks ago. Why?"

"Well we thought that you must be still angry with him." Lily said.

"No, I read in one of the books in the library that many were afraid that in his sixth year he'd turn dark."

"If that happened, the world would truly know true fear." Ginny said walking into the room. "So what are you talking about?"

"Pranking dad?"

"Don't even try it?"

"Why?" the three asked.

"For one, he will retaliate and it will not be good, and two even if the three of you work together you'll never get him." She said. "I should know I've tried."

"What happened?"

"Well he didn't know who did it so he hit the hole school. I believe he turned everyone in Slytherin House into walking cats. Hufflepuff House into dogs, Ravenclaw House into I really don't want to say. And his own house was hit the hardest. In matter of fact I think he knew who exactly tried to prank him. Crap then that means he." Ginny said.

"Means he what?" Sapphire asked.

"I hit the hole school just for the fun of it." Harry said walking into the room. "But you have to admit that the day said incident happened no one will forget it."

"No one Harry. You even hit the teachers."

"No way."

"Turning Snape into a frog. Hell you even turned Dumbledore's beard neon pink."

"That's only half of it. The secret is to know when to strike and when to retreat. I know both." He said walking out of the room.

"He did it again. Didn't he?" Ginny asked.

"Did what?"

"Is my hair green?"

"N, n, no it's purple." Sapphire said trying to hold in her laughter.

"I hate it when he does that."

"What he didn't even use his wand." James said with a slight chuckle.

"Wandless magic. Your father is a natural at it." Ginny said.

"Well then help us get him back." Sapphire said.

"My pleasure. In fact this might be fun."

"Don't bet on it." Came the distant reply.

"He's good." Lily said.

"That he is. Just you three don't go and do the same thing." Ginny said.

"You'll see when you are older."

The next few days say a lot of activity manly prank after prank being turned on the three children.

"I give up." Sapphire said afer the one hundredth try. "Nothing and I mean nothing will work."

"I say we should give up now and try later. We all heard what he said. 'Know when to strike and when to retreat.' Lets regroup, maybe try and get Alex involved." James said.

"Good idea. But enough of that what are we going to do about mum and dad?" Lily asked.

"What do you mean?" James said.

"It's obvious, they still have feelings for one another and they are too stubborn to admit it." Sapphire said.

"Oh, I see."

"I doubt it." Lily said, "And do you know why your grandparents are coming over tonight?"

"No why."

"Because your father and I are going out tonight." Ginny said.

"Don't do that!"

"What walk in on a privet conversation or scaring the daylights out of you?"

"I'd say both."

"Listen you two please behave for Mr. and Mrs. Oaks please?" She asked.

"What about Sapphire?"

"Me! They're my grandparents and I love them to death, so I'll be on my best behavior. Anyway when will they get here?" Sapphire asked.

"Around five." Ginny replied.

Three hours later there was a knock at the door.

"I'll get it." Sapphire said.

"Well it took you long enough?" said an elderly gentleman said.

"David! Hello sweety." The woman said.

"Grandma, Grandpa. Nice of you to come over." Sapphire said.

"Well little one. We like spending time with you." David said.

"Dad, Mum."

"Hello Harry, why hello there you two I take it you are Lily and James?" David asked.

"Yes sir." The two replied.

"Well my name is David, and this is my lovely wife Elaine." He said.

"Sorry for the suddenness of this Dad but Ginny and I really need to get going. You three please be good no pranks." Harry said.

"Not a problem, Have fun. By the way when you get back Harry we need to talk." David said. In which Harry only nodded while closing the door.

"What did he mean by pranks?" Elaine asked.

"James. He has been trying to pull one on dad for a few weeks." Sapphire said.

"With little luck I take it?" David said.

"He tried a few hours ago. That's why his hair is blue." Lily said.

"Well why don't you two tell us a little about yourselves."

Harry and Ginny

"This is really nice Harry." Ginny said.

"I know just too bad. It can't be closer." He said. Pulling out her chair.

"Well I think it's nice. Thank you."

"So we leave I just two weeks?" She asked after a moment of silence.

"Yeah."

"I sure would like to come back next year."

"We can."

"Uh?"

"I'm not selling the property. We could use the house during the summer months." He said.

"That would be really nice."

"Harry, can I ask you a question?"

"Sure."

"Do you still have feelings for me?"

A/N: Okay folks sorry for the wait but I kind of have been a little lazy in my writing. Sorry.

Okay now, please Review. Be nice please.
