-A/n: OMG near the end! This isn't the last chapter, but its close enough. This chapter they might appear a little OOC and a little drag along for some peoples liking I had trouble getting my head out of a writers block Lol, have fun with this chapy! And please don't flame me for James' stupidity-
They all ran down the stairs (besides Remus, who walked) and nearly hit Mrs Weasley and Ginny. Mrs Weasley almost cried at the sight of James ruffling Harry's hair up, Lily rolling her eyes, and Sirius looking at the house in disgust and him doing his bark laugh.
"Do you know when McGonagall is coming?" Lily asked Mrs Weasley, who shrugged then looked over to them and frowned to see Sirius whacking either Harry or James she couldn't tell from so where she was
"Alright which one did you just hit?" Ginny asked seeing the same thing her mother did
"I hit James-i here," He said whacking him again James growled and Sirius laughed and ran for it, James looked like he was fighting the urge to run after him and looked over to Lily with a pleading look, and she sighed
"Go on." James smiled and ran over him. Then Harry did the same thing
"You too!?" Lily asked but he grinned and ran after him
"Ugh, Potters-" Lily muttered then saying in an after tone "I'm gonna be married to him, oh Merlin help me…" Then she walked away leaving Ginny, Mrs Weasley and Remus' all confused.
As everyone found them Lily was yelling
"You guys are a bad influence on him ya know that!?"
"Yep!"
"You guys having fun?"
"Yep!"
Lily rolled her eyes, then walked back down James leaned his head to his right with confusion, Sirius laughed, Remus rolled his eyes, Harry stood there, looking dumb, Ginny looked at one Potter to the other. Then Harry jumped and ran down the stairs, everyone, but Sirius looked down the stairs in wonderment
"Wow, I wonder how he heard that…"
"Heard what?"
"The front door opening."
"The door opening? Doesn't it like open loudly?" James asked
"It does. But from up here it doesn't sound so loud."
"Oh."
"Well I'm going to find Harry." Ginny said then she walked out and the boys blinked
"Well, I think we better follow the future Potter-"
"WHAT?"
Sirius laughed, even Remus chuckled at James' stupidity. Then they both went down the stairs Sirius counted to five before James shouted
"HEY, wait up!"
When they came into the lounge they found that Lily was talking to McGonagall. Lily looked over to James and smiled he blinked the hid behind Sirius, who laughed. He heard her giggle silently when he looked at her again she was talking with Harry and Ginny, Ginny nodded Harry was saying something to her but he didn't hear him, she then looked back to him and he prepared to hide again
"Hey, James- Merlin it seems weird calling you that,-" she and Ginny smiled then she continued "You wanted to come see Petunia?"
"Hell yeah!"
"Then come- why were you hiding before?"
"I thought you were gonna jinx me…"
Lily now was under a lot of pressure, Harry looked at his mother and found out she was trying not to laugh
"I'm…. not going… too."
James blinked "You're not?"
"Don't sound so surprised-" she winced knowing her voice was going steely like it did when she spoke to him, she sighed and shrugged she then scratched her forehead
"I can never keep a straight voice with you. Look at what you made me do!" She said toy-fully, which totally went over him
"W-what?"
Lily grinned and shook her head then went over to him and looked at her fearfully but all she did was pat his shoulder and then went over to the door, James and Sirius both blinked
"Did s-she just touch you?" Sirius asked
"Uh-uh." James said shakily
"You're gonna be contaminated mate."
James hit him
"Shadup."
Sirius turned to Lily
"Why?"
"Why what?" She asked trying to keep her voice nice
"You just touched his shoulder! You've never done that before!!"
Lily rolled her eyes and tried to control a sniffle, she looked over to Harry
"Go get your cloak; I know James properly gave it to you."
Harry nodded and went for the stairs and he heard James say
"I did?"
"Okay, I will rephrase it for you. I know James will properly give it to you. Better?"
"Oh! Yes, sorry, slow on the outcome here."
"It's okay."
"It is?"
"Will you stop talking?"
James saluted her; it was now Lily's turn to blink at him.
Five minutes later Harry came down the stairs and James took Harry's and looked at it and Sirius looked over his shoulder, he then gave it back to Harry
"Right. James, we both have to go under it while Harry talks to Petunia, at a moment when Harry says so we'll come out, and scare the day lights outta her 'kay?"
Sirius looked affronted
"Why don't I get to come?"
"Because you have no bus-"
"I DO too!"
"You do?" James asked Sirius nodded as Ginny came over with her eye brow raised
"Well technically he does…"
"I do?" "He does?" They both asked at the same time. Harry and Ginny nodded. Harry who was looking at the floor said something but all they heard was
"Godfather."
"WOO! Knew it!" Sirius punched the air, but somewhat Lily and James didn't look surprised
"Well it could have been worse." Lily said
"Wha- Hey!"
Lily giggled
"C'mon we better go before it gets too late,"
"Does that mean I'm going?"
"No."
"Aw man!"
"You're time will come my friend."
"You bet it will!"
Lily went over to Harry and took the cloak of him then went over to James and threw it over her and him
"I wonder what they are doing under there…"
"EW! NEVER EVER SAY THAT AGAIN SIRIUS OR OTHERWISE YOU WONT LIVE TO YOUR ACTUAL DEATH!" Lily's voice thundered around the room they heard crickets chirp quietly. Sirius blinked, looking like a wounded dog he looked towards the floor
"That hurt…" he whispered Lily sighed then came out under the cloak and hugged Sirius, Sirius among everyone else blinked she pulled away after a few seconds
"I'm sorry for saying that."
"U-uh…" Sirius said weakly his eyes wondered over to James who shrugged slightly. Everyone else kept quiet
"We better go." She said after she went over to James
"Why don't you just apparate?"
Lily looked over to Harry with a questioning look
"Can you apparate?"
He nodded, she smiled
"Then apparition it is!"
Five minutes later, Harry, James and Lily were outside Privet Drive. James and Lily were under the cloak and Harry walked up the driveway then knocked on the door, and waited for Vernon to come but was surprised when Petunia (he heard Lily gasp) came into view looked at him then opened the door while saying "come in"
Harry waiting a second so his parents could rush in before he did. Harry looked around the house
"Where's Vernon and Dudley?" Harry asked and heard James and Lily saying ('who's Dudley?')
"Dudley is at school and Vernon is at work, why do you ask such a thing?"
Harry shrugged
"Just wondered."
Petunia looked at him for a minute then wondered into the kitchen
"I know you came into this house for a reason – you have too much of you're parents in you for you not to come without a reason."
Harry (and Lily) blinked
"How would you know?" He asked
"I might have not liked it, But Lily was my sister."
"Wow you actually said her name."
"I have perfect reasons not too."
"And those reasons would be?"
Petunia looked away
"She was everything I wasn't…"
"Huh?" Harry (and Lily said)
"She gained everything I wanted when she got that letter. Then she met James-"
"Wow you said his name too."
"-And had you."
"Is that why you hated her? Because she was-"
"She was my little sister; you have to understand sibling rivalry."
Harry (and Lily) was ready to burst out laughing, and Lily without waiting for Harry took of the cloak
"That is so reason to hate Harry."
Petunia blinked at her and James, she was speechless
"I was forced to live in the cupboard because of sibling rivalry!?"
Lily looked at him "What?"
"Vernon thought it would stop him from being you."
"No one can stop a wizard being a wizard!" James said Lily shot him a warning look, Petunia was yet again left speechless
"You let Dudley try to hit me all those times because of it too?"
"I lost control over him; he only answered to Vernon he answered to me when he was paid for it."
Lily looked as if she was going to burst
"You-" Lily broke off letting out a frustrated-angered sigh both Potters and Petunia looked at her
"I don't get you." James said "How could you lose control over your own son?"
Petunia didn't answer him. Harry looked at one to the other in turn realizing how hard it was for all of them
"I'm sorry,"
"Just sometimes 'Sorry' isn't enough."
Lily thought for a moment then said "But that's all we have isn't it?"
They all looked at her, stunned. Harry looked toward the clock
"Its time to go." He said oddly as if all the air had been sucked out after he said it
"Why?" Petunia asked
"We need to go back to our time."
Petunia nodded slowly. Then they headed for the door they all heard her say
"Good bye."
