Chapter Seven – Going back
When they got back to the house. James went to find Sirius and Remus to properly tell them what happened. Lilly went over to Ginny and started talking about Merlin knows what. Mrs Weasley came out of the kitchen and stared at Harry for a minute
"Harry dear?"
"Yeah?"
"Oh, it is you, mind coming in here for a minute?" Harry nodded
They talked for several minutes till something caught Harry's eye, he lent rightwards to see a floating bottle he raised his eye brow at it by the time Mrs Weasley turned around then sighed. Harry walked towards it and watched it every time it moved he followed it.
It went into a room and Harry poked his head into the room the bottle went over to several other bottles
"All right…"
"Dang got caught." Sirius' voice ranged through. Harry laughed a little as Sirius and James came up from behind the table
"Don't tell Evans." Sirius said in a silent whisper. Harry raised his eye brow and James hit him muttering
"Idiot."
"What…?"
"What's with all the bottles?"
"Got bored…"
"Heh, you're like Fred and George." A voice came they all whipped around to see Ron
"Eh?"
"My older brothers, the twins, they own a joke shop."
"They gave me the map…"
"Really-?"
"Where'd they say they found it?"
"In Filch's draw."
"Dang, we gotta give it up to him?"
"Well it will be safe there till they find it…"
"True…"
All the while they were having the talk Harry watched them
"Have you even met them?"
"Err, no, I don't remember so…"
"Padfoot, you don't even remember what happened yesterday…"
"Aw-w! Actually I do!"
Saying James looked shocked was an understatement
"You do?"
"Yeah!!"
"What happened yesterday then?"
Sirius went silent
"Ahhh! Thought so, Galleon please."
"Aw-w man, I should have never made that deal with you." Sirius pouted while searching his pockets then handing James the money
"Hey Ron, go and get them…"
Ron nodded "Sure."
He left
Several minutes latter Rin came running back in
"She's coming…!"
James and Sirius blinked then looked towards the bottles
"Hide it!!!"
Sirius managed a concealment charm as Ginny, Lilly, Remus and the twins came in. Both Sirius and James looked innocent. Lilly glared at them
"What have you been teaching him?" She asked, they didn't say anything she looked over towards the table and sighed
"Sirius, that's a poor concealment charm. Seriously grow up."
"Sirius-ly!"
"Oh not again." James groaned and Sirius grinned
"Seriously!"
"Sirius-ly!!"
"Seriously!"
"Sirius-ly!!"
"Seriously!"
"Sirius-ly!!"
Harry blinked at the two
"Seriously!"
"Sirius-"
"ARGH! SHUT UP!!" Lily roared pointing her wand at him he quickly jumped behind James. James place his hands up and side stepped then transformed into a stag and dug one of his hooves into the ground all most tauntingly. Sirius growled at him. Lilly blinked her wand hand by her side Harry blinked then grinned then two stags were there and they all stared at it as it faded the actual stag blinked several times before he went back to Human
"What the he-"
"Just don't."
"A-w-w-i- what happened to all nice Evans who touched James' shoulder?"
Lily glared at Sirius again James looked at him
"Hey, he remembered that…"
Sirius grinned. Remus sighed and left. Harry looked around. Ron, Ginny, the twins were all looking at the three in amazement
"Uh, guys you have an audience…"
"Eh?" They all said then looked at them
"What's up?"
"You- you, how'd you do that?!"
"Uh, do what?"
"You transformed into a stag!?"
To prove the point James did it again and Sirius went Dog. James pranced around the room a little. And Sirius acted cute, and then barking at James, James dug his hove into the ground and Sirius ran out of the room and James went back to Human
"C'mon…" he said then walked out the room Lilly sighed and grasped Harry's collar and motherly dragged him
"Hey- hey! Why does Harry get to be dragged?!"
"Because if he doesn't see this, Sirius won't do whatever they've planned."
"Ah."
They both met up with a stag and dog who where somewhat communicating with each other Dog growled and stag stumped his hove several times then they both ran for it. Leaving them blinking and confused. Harry poked his head into the door and several people were in there with their wands out he looked back to his mother
"C'mon we better see where they've run off too."
The Weasley's were all for it.
They found them again by the kitchen they and-
"I wouldn't do that if I was you." A much older Remus said walking into the light
"A-w-i-." Sirius said he was back to his human form and so was James
"Can't we have a little fun…?"
"You've had enough fun; you scared those other guys…" Lilly said quietly
"I would have let you but Molly and Tonks are in there, Harry you should know what happens when they get scared."
They all looked towards him and he nodded
Sirius pouted and James patted him on the back
"There, there." He sarcastically said
"Hey! That's meant to be comforting."
"Sorry Padfoot."
"I'm gonna kill you Prongs." Sirius growled
"Sorry, I've already got my due date!" James said then ran off with Sirius trailing him Harry looked towards Remus who shrugged
"What are ya gonna do? He is your father after all…"
Harry shrugged. Lilly was looking to where she has last seen James
"I wish he wouldn't keep joking about it, it's serious, maybe hitting him in the head will work, but knowing him it'll just make him even stupider…." She muttered Harry frowned at her which she noticed
"Sorry!! I don't mean you!! Just- that-"
Harry smiled then looked back to Remus
"I thought you said I was like my father?"
"You are, but you have too much of Lilly in you to joke around like that, you could have been like that if certain events didn't happen…"
"Merlin if Harry was like James. I'd seriously send him to Mungos…"
Harry blinked
"My bad, again…"
"We better find those two before anything else happens…"
They were all the train back to Hogwarts, Harry looking out the window really was dreading going back. Everyone was silent. James, Sirius, Remus and Lily had to get used to people calling them by the names McGonagall gave them, but they were sensing a dread of silence coming from Harry that they too were silent. To the truth everyone was dreading it, even the twins who had left them at the station, the Marauders and the twins got on really well, considering they both liked pranking so much James had secretly thanked them for handing the map to Harry, they thanked the Marauders for letting themselves open the map with the secrets the map keep telling them. The train stopped and they all moved to get out, moving like drones they left the train for Hogwarts.
--
The next day they found themselves in the McGonagall's room she had a cauldron on the desk. Harry who had been dreaded this day waiting for it
"Their will be someone who will remember the past ordeal-"
"What?" they all nearly shouted
"But I must ask you, whoever it is, to not change the present."
"How can you ask such a thing?"
"The person will only remember Harry and some things but nothing more."
"Do you know who will remember?"
She shook her head silently
"Whoever remembers didn't tell us in the past."
"I praise whoever remembers!" Sirius said McGonagall shot him a look which shut him up
"I will give you five minutes." She said then walked out.
Lilly went over to Harry and hugged him
"Good bye." She whispered trying not to cry
"bye." He said nearly inaudibly she let go of him as James ruffled his hair and smiled Remus smiled and did a little wave and Sirius-
"Bye kid." Was all Sirius said Lilly looked at him oddly and was about to say something when McGonagall came in with a face of total sadness
"It is time." The portrait of Dumbledore announced they all nodded then they stepped forward, and they each drank it then turned quickly to Harry and waved at him before they wavered and was gone.
Harry walked down the hall with Hermione and Ginny on one side and Ron on the other, Harry told them what happened in the office and that they were in their own time
"I wonder which one remembers…" Ron thought out loud
"Are you okay Harry?" Ginny asked as Hermione walked around them and hit Ron. Harry smiled
"I'm okay; at least I know them now." Harry said still smiling.
"But really, its gotta not be Remus, coz he said himself he didn't know, it's either gonna be Harry's parents, or Sirius-"
"If he knew, he did a very good job of hiding it."
"Yes, well once a Marauder, always a Marauder."
