-A/n: This chapter is kind-a long, so don't fall asleep on me, please, that wouldn't be good!-
They all went up to the headmistress' office (the Marauders still couldn't take in Dumbledore was dead)
They waited for one of them to come into the room, after awhile they both did, at the same time
"Well I can say the potion isn't ready, it'll be ready after the holidays…. So, you four will have to go somewhere, or stay here - one of the two."
"Minerva, I am sure they will be safe at the house, although Sirius will not like it."
"What? Why won't I like it?"
"Are you telling me they are coming on the train with us?"
"Yes,"
"Wait! Where are we going!?"
"Your house-"
"No, nu-huh, nope, not going!" Sirius said folding his arms, looking sideways with a gleam in his eyes no one could place
"C'mon! One thing you will be able to do,"
"Ooh! What's that?" Harry heard the sarcasm in his voice
"You'll be able to shout at your mother,"
"Like I wasn't able to shout at her before…"
"No, this time, she's a portrait." Sirius's eyes lit up with an evil gleam
"Do we have to call each other the names you've given us or can we call ourselves, ourselves?"
"You can call each other whatever you like." Minerva said
"Well we go back to what we looked like before?"
"Once you're in the house yes."
o O
O o
They all got out of the train heading for the wall
"Well I can say nothing has changed!" James said as they got to the wall
"Wait, is that a good thing?" Harry asked. Sirius still hadn't said anything since the convocation in the office James shrugged and they all went through
What they meet was a ground waiting for them– mostly all the Wesley's, Remus, Tonks (who had bubble pink hair)
"Who are you?" Mrs Wesley asked, Remus tried not to smile
"Oh, do you mean the names McGonagall gave us or our true names?" Lily asked Molly became confused, Lily sighed. James grinned and randomly said out of the blue
"Ha-ha, you're married to me!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Am not!"
"Shut up!"
"Fine!" They both said Sirius grinned
"Ha, got told by your son!"
"Shut up, Sirius!"
"…Yes, Evans."
"Wait, what?" Tonks said confusedly they were all confused besides the seventeen year olds and Remus (who was still trying not to smile)
"Okay, can we go-? I really don't like the stares." Lily said looking around her most people were looking at them. But apparently this went awe, as everyone but Remus (and the seventeen year olds) was in awe. Hermione crossed her arms and tapped her foot, Ron scratched the back of his neck, Harry had his eyes on the ground, Lily was looking around herself, James looked at everyone with a sign of boredom, Sirius looked bored, Remus', Ginny tried not to laugh, Tonks, Mr & Mrs Weasley looked confused
"I do not believe what I'm hearing…." Tonks said
"Well of course you wouldn't, you haven't been told yet." Remus said Tonks blinked and looked from one Remus to the other
"Hey! Stop poking me! Or I'll poke you with something harder!" Everyone turned around to see James poking Lily in the shoulder grinning. Harry raised his eye brow James cleared his throat and stopped poking
"I got bored…." Remus rolled his eyes
"Well find away to entertain yourself! Besides poking me!!"
"Yes Evans!"
"Umm, I can't call you by your last name now! Ahh!"
"Poor Miss Evans!"
"Shut up."
"You have to call me by my first name-"
"Oh my God! Lily Evans calls James Potter by his first name?!" Sirius said, then, faked a collapse, and then he cracked up. Everyone blinked at him
"Well if Sirius Black wont shut up he'll find himself jinxed!" Lily said half sarcasm which no one heard besides Tonks and Harry. Sirius pulled a mock sulk face
"STOP!"
Everyone blinked and looked at the shouter
"Are you saying that your names are -?"
"Yes our names are what you think they are, Voldemort in our time placed us here! Lest it's good to know he's dead. But the spell he used doesn't work anymore."
"Bummer." Sirius said Lily turned to him, whatever look she gave him must have been scary
"Okay, okay Evans!" He said with a fake cower
"Okay, can we move now?" Harry asked they all looked at him and he shrugged
"Yes let us go to the house I hate,"
"Sounds like you."
-
-
"Wow, it hasn't changed, besides it's gotten dirtier…"
They changed back to what they looked like before and everyone blinked. Besides Remus. Tonks got very confused as she looked at the two Remus' then she started to laugh, Remus looked at her in confusion the other just raised his eye brow
"Ahh! Can't see!" James said and Lily broke out into laughter Harry looked at them with his eye brow raised, Sirius did his bark laugh, and Hermione, Ron and Ginny, ran up the stairs.
They walked through most of the house till they heard screaming; Sirius stopped and turned to Harry
"I thought you said she was dead..?"
"She is; that's her portrait." Sirius said nothing he turned around and walked out, they all followed him, they curtains were apart
"Wow."
Sirius walked up to her she was still screaming
"SHUT UP YOU OLD HAG!"
The portrait blinked at him then screeched
"YOU! SHAME MY FLESH!!"
"Oh shut up…. Evans!"
"W-what?"
"Scratch it."
"What? ….. Oh!" Lily came forwards as everyone else came into the room wondering why Mrs Black had stop screaming, she was looking at the seventeen year olds in…. Surprise?
Lily took out her wand and pointed at the painting at arms length
Nothing happened
"Hmm…. Ginny!" Lily said as Ginny came into the room, she now had a confused look on her face, well, so did everyone else. Lily lowered her wand and went over to Ginny whispered something. After awhile Ginny slowly nodded confusedly
"But won't the ministry recognise magic?"
"Nope," Lily said everyone but Lily, James, Sirius and both Remus' looked confused
"Okay, Gin ready?"
"Hope so."
They both held their wands at arms length nothing happened for a moment or two…. Then …
CRASH
The portrait of Mrs Black was on the floor in pieces with Sirius' mum in it. Everyone besides Lily blinked
"How did you do that?" Harry asked, Lily smiled and pocketed her wand and went over to Harry
"Ancient magic, its too old for the ministry to recognise," Lily knew he was in thought she knew that because she knew James, she knew she wasn't going to get him out of it, he deserved to be left in thought because she knew it was making sense to him one way or another. Ginny came forward
"Leave him,"
"But-"
"He'll come out of it when he wants to Ginny," Lily said Ginny nodded she didn't know why but she nodded anyway. Harry who heard none of this was looking at the floor he lifted his head to see his teenage mother was still looking at him with a kind smile
"That's how I was able to survive wasn't it?" Harry said in a whisper only Lily heard him she nodded sadly
"But you couldn't save yourself?"
"It doesn't work that way, even though I wish it did." She watched Harry's eyes more sadness swept into them
"Does Gin have it to?"
Yet again Lily nodded.
James watched this he knew how much Harry needed his parents, and they weren't their for him when he needed him most.

Ginny, Hermione and Lily were all in a room
"Ginny?"
She didn't move
"Ginny."
Still didn't move
"Ginny!!"
Nothing
"GINNY."
She woke up as well as Hermione
"What?" Ginny and Hermione said groggily while rubbing their eyes
"Can you tell me something?"
"…Sure."
"What is it you want to know?"
"What happened each year at Hogwarts when Harry went their?"
"I was waiting for you to ask that!"
"Oh…"
"Well I wasn't their in Harry's first year so Hermione will tell you, I had only heard rumours, and rumours aren't to be trusted."
"Umm, okay."
"Yeah, well, have you heard of a thing called 'the Philosopher's Stone'?"
"Yeah, something about immortality, or something,"
"Voldemort wanted it, as we found out, we thought Snape wanted it."
"Why did you think that?"
"Because he tried to get passed Fluffy, and he hates Harry…."
"Why does he hate Harry?"
"He hates Harry because of James…"
Lily didn't say anything
"Harry said he hates him because James saved his life…. Or something,"
"Yeah, James did save him from Remus…."
"Anyways….. Harry was able to get the stone before Voldemort did, he nearly killed Harry, but thanks to you he barely made it out…. He spent some time in the hospital that's for sure, that was a tough year for him and it didn't get any better in his second, Ginny tell her, you should be able to." Hermione said and Ginny smiled
"Well the Chamber of Secrets was reopened, and everyone thought it was Harry, because he can speak Pareseltongue-"
Lily jumped out of bed
"He can what!?"
"Yeah, he can speak it though he doesn't go around advertising it…" Hermione said
Lily blinked
"If it makes you feel any better, he didn't know…."
"Know?"
"He didn't know he could speak it,"
"Oh…. Why can he speak it?"
"Haven't you noticed the scar on his forehead?"
"…No, was I meant to?"
"Wow, Harry will have a field day when he hears someone didn't see it!" Lily blinked
"It's a very bad curse-"
"He's cursed?"
"Sadly enough yeah,"
"Poor Harry,"
"Hmm, yeah it's a curse between him and Voldemort-"
"He suffers so much, why must he?"
"Hang on, haven't got their yet!"
"Okay,"
"When Voldemort tried to kill Harry when he was a baby, it didn't work, figures how he's alive today… He was left with a scar and Voldemort was let powerless, that scar has always told him if he's close to him, or he is gaining power…"
"That sounds bad but good,"
"Yeah, why he suffers so much you asked? Because he is the-boy-who-lived, simple as that,"
"Wow,"
"Yeah, back to second year!"
"Okay, okay! Seeing as everyone thought Harry was the heir of Slytherin, even though he is in Gryffindor…. He found his way into the Chamber, only because I had been taken their by Tom Riddle aka Voldemort, their Harry fought the Basilisk – the creature living in the Chamber out to kill muggle-borns like Hermione, she got hit by it but was paralysed, Harry was able to defeat Tom aka Voldemort by his book, happy ever after for second year… Hermione you can tell her third year you did most of it anyway."
"Okay, in third year we had someone who said to be a mass-murderer, although he wasn't. Anyways, Harry found out that Sirius was a friend of his father, who betrayed him-"
"Sirius wouldn't do a thing like that!"
"Yeah, let me finish!"
"Okay!"
"He also found out that he was his Godfather, which taw him. When Harry met him, he naturally wanted to kill him, not till after a long talk about who was who and that he wasn't a murderer and Wormtail…. To show himself did Harry realise that he wasn't a mass-murderer – he was framed by Wormtail, but of course that night had to be full-moon and Remus was their, he had forgotten to take the potion because of what he saw happening on the map-"
"Map?"
"The Marauders Map, Harry has it somewhere…."
"They made a flipping map?"
"Yeah, they did, didn't you know?" Lily shook her head
"Ask Harry about it he'll know or James one of the two."
"Back to third year. The Dementors came for Sirius, I blanked out around then I asked Harry what had happened it was way to confusing. Which brings us to my old Time-turner, Dumbledore told us to speed time back three hours, we didn't get that at all, only till latter we got it…. Cut words short, Harry saved Sirius. And yay… Happy ending, for that year….. Fourth year… Gin do you want to tell her?"
"Sure, Okay in Harry's fourth year, the Triwizard tournament was being held at Hogwarts-"
"Let me guess Harry being James' son entered?'
"Umm… Harry didn't actually WANT to enter but some guy entered him for him, if you understand that…"
"Wow, that's a first,"
"Yeah, his year and under age and wasn't aloud to enter anyways…. So the first task was the go fight Dragons, from what I heard Harry only got past it because of James-"
"How do you work that out?"
"James can fly can he not?"
"Yeah, he's chaser in Quidditch as well as Caption…"
"He's a Chaser? Harry's the Seeker…."
"Not that infuriating ball!"
"What's wrong with the snitch?"
"James used to nick it and play with it when he was bored," Ginny laughed
"Anyways, the second task was to go into the river for an hour…. The third task was a maze; the cup transported him and Cedric to a graveyard… We really don't know what happened in there only Harry came back with Cedric… he was dead… Harry was saying something about Voldemort being back… which he was, but no one believed him…. I really don't like fifth year-"
"What happened there?"
"Sirius died that year,"
"Ouch."
"Eh, sixth year doesn't get any better!"
"What?"
"Dumbledore, died that year."
"Did anyone else die in his seventh year?"
"Uh, besides bad people? Nope, not that I know of anyways."
Ginny and Hermione seemed to have no problems going back to sleep, but Lily she couldn't close her eyes, she kept getting strange images of her 'son' near death escapes. But eventfully she did go to sleep.

Sirius went around the house and finding it completely empty till he came to a room and he yelled
"Potter!"
They both looked at him
"Oh, Merlin…"
Lily came in from a different door
"Hey, Evans! Your worst nightmare has come true! We have Potter twins!"
Both Harry and James put their hand to their foreheads and sighed, and Lily raised an eye brow and Sirius grinned evilly.
They were soon accompanied by most of the Weasley family - Fred, George, Ginny, Ron Hermione, Tonks, a mini Remus and Remus
"Hey, since when did Harry have a twin?!" Fred yelled over his shoulder to his parents who nearly cried
"HEY! WE HAVE TWO REMUS'S!!" George yelled Sirius barked a laugh, they looked towards him
"AHH, Dead-young-guy!!"
Everyone stared at them, but knew they were playing
"Hey c'mon I know I'm dead, but you forget Evans and James!"
The twins blinked, then looked back to Harry and James
"Wait a minute!"
"Ha-ha, you can actually tell which is which!"
They all raised their eyes brows
"Hey, c'mon Padfoot, stop confusing 'em!" James said
"Hey, you just called him Padfoot??"
"Yeah….'
"OH MERLIN! You guys made the Marauders Map?!"
"Well their goes the neighbour hood…" Harry muttered
"OH YEAH!! HOW COME YOU NEVER TOLD ME ABOUT THAT!?" Lily screamed at James Lily was now stalking over to James pointing him in the gut several times, James blinked, the Weasley twins looked ever so confused
"The neighbour hood is gone…." Sirius muttered to Harry. Ginny and the Remus' were watching this from a corner of the room, and Lily tried to keep in her giggles in because of the look of James' face, Harry looked between them frowning, the both turned to him, and he froze
"Oh my I forgot…. Is Petunia still alive?" Both Potters blinked at her
"Why do you want to know if your annoying sister is alive, Evans?" Sirius said cutting in absentmindedly, she shrugged
"Properly, I don't know…"
"Do you think it would be alright if I said hi to her?"
"You'd properly gonna have to ask McGonagall to go-"
"Eh? If Evans is going I'm going too!" James said Harry frowned and Lily looked confused
"Well I'd properly have to go too, so…"
"Hey! What are we talking about here!?"
"Nothing you need to worry about!" James and Harry said at the same time, Lily put her hand to her forehead,
"Is Evans getting up to a Marauder again?"
"Huh?"
"Did you just say you were gonna go to your sisters?"
"Ye-eah.."
"YOU'RE GONNA GIVE HER HELL!!"
Lilly blinked
"Aw man." Lilly said then went over to Sirius and thumped him
"Quiet!" She said while smiling
"Ow… Evans!"
"Yes?"
"Argg on you!"
"Oh what-are-ya gonna do?"
Sirius thought for a minute
"Wow, you're actually using that pin-of-a-thing-you-call-a-brain."
"HEY!"
Lilly laughed
"Well it's true it's small."
"How'd you know?"
"…"
"Yeeeeah! Thought so!"
Lilly thumped him again
"Quiet!"
"Okay, that was harder then the first one."
She punched him
"Okay. OKAY! Enough with the-hitting-Sirius Lilly!" James called
"Aw…." She said then smiled evilly and thumped him again then walked away
"Okay she's more like us then I take her for…" James said. Sirius barked. They all looked towards him
"Hey! No transforming inside the house!"
If Sirius was human he'd be grinning, James who now had a mischief look on his face
"Oh no…" Lily said Harry looked between the two
"It's not every day I get to chase Sirius around… Besides my life is short…." James said as Sirius ran out of the room, James ran after him… They soon heard hoofs above them. Everyone blinked
"What did he mean by that?" Harry was looking to the floor, and Lily put a hand on his he looked up and smiled then ran after his father, Lily rolled her eyes and followed, by then everyone was confused
"Someone tell me what's happening," Fred asked more like yelled looking at the two Remus' They both shrugged, then one of them moved out of the room.

"Ya know, this isn't a play peen!" Lily said to the stag and dog, which stopped and looked at her, Harry came in beside her and was blinking
"You really shouldn't abuse it…." A new voice said
"Well that's easy for you to say Moony." Sirius said, Harry looked back and they were both Human again. They were now companied by Remus
"Well, look at it this way… You can look at yourself…. We can't…" James said their was a touch of sadness in his voice
"It's not fair…." Lily stated "At least we left something behind…." She said while looking over at Harry who smiled
"Mussy stuff…" Sirius growled and James thumped him playfully in the head
"Show some dignity, Padfoot."
"Oh no! Not you too!" Sirius said everyone looked at him confused
"Our little Prongsie is growing up!" James looked at him as Lily stepped in
"It is something you should learn." Sirius coughed and Lily looked towards Harry
"He never grew up did he?"
"Nope," Harry said while shaking his head then added in an after thought "He did grow up a little, but that was when…." The rest was too hard to follow
"Hey! You lot up there! Come down!!" A voice said that made everyone jump. They then ran down stairs.
