Harry ran through the forest, behind him was Remus.

Remus yelled "Harry slow down, your mother will kill me if anything happen to you!"

Harry smirked and said "Today is my birthday, she won't yell at me."

Harry stopped and waited for his Uncle Moony to catch up.

Remus finally caught up, fell to the ground panting "Harry…when did you learn how to run really fast."

Harry laughed "I guess when you turn eleven years old, or maybe you're becoming too old Uncle Moony."

Remus gave him a playful glare and then smiled; his nephew finally tuned eleven. Then Remus's smile faded, today was the day that Harry was going to find out the truth about his father.

Lily must be a nervous wreck.

Harry noticed that Remus had a sad look in his eyes.

Harry took Remus's hand and said "Uncle Moony, why do you look so sad?"

Remus looked into Harry's emerald eyes, the eyes of Lily but a he was a clone of his father.

Remus cleared his voice "No reason, I just remembered that I had to go into town today, that's all."

Harry looked suspiciously at his uncle but nodded his head. They walk back to home, where an impatient Lily was waiting.

Sirius hated going into town. Women flung themselves at him, and men feared him for he is Lord of the Slytherin Kingdom. Sirius also hated going into the Apothecary but since he was the only one, except for the King and Queen that were allowed in the Gryffindor Kingdom, which you could find rare potion ingredients. The Gryffindor Kingdom was the only place you could find ingredients for a strong sleeping potion. His cousin, Queen Bellatrix, always had nightmares around this time.

As Sirius was looking for the ingredients, a man walked in. He had blond hair and blue eyes.

He began looking in the shelves, muttering "Heredity potion, heredity potion, where is that damn potion."

Sirius knew exactly where it was, picked it up, and tapped the man's shoulder. The blue-eye man turned around, his eyes widened at who he saw. Sirius looked suspiciously at the man, this man felt strangely familiar.

Sirius cleared his voice "Ahem, umm…I couldn't help hearing that you needed a heredity potion; so I found it for you."

The man looked at the potion, grabbed it from Sirius's hand, and went to pay.

When he was finished paying, he went to the door, but looked back Sirius saying "It's very rude eavesdrop when people are talking."

Sirius laughed "Yea, even if he was talking to himself." The man looked at him, a playful gleam in his eye, but walked out.

Sirius was surprised by two things: first, this man did not look at him with contempt, and secondly this man reminded him of a long ago friend, one who disappear eleven years ago.

Sirius muttered "strange…" and continued looking for his ingredients.

The man ran from the Apothecary to the Forbidden Forest. He ran in the forest, and stopped when he felt he was safe. He lean and sat down against a tree, and sighed. He took out his wand and muttered a few words. His blond hair turned into sandy-blond hair, and the blue eyes turned into the sparkling amber eyes. Remus knew that he was closed into getting caught. He had seen Sirius walked in town a couple of times, but this was the first time that he actually talked to him.

Remus smiled, Sirius hasn't change much, he was still that playful mutt.

He looked at the heredity potion and sighed. Remus was going to give this potion to Harry, but now he wasn't sure if he would give it to him.

Maybe I should wait till he's older, a year older, thought Remus.

He got up, and started walking back to camp. Harry and Lily, especially Lily, would be furious if he was late.

"Come on James, just one quick trip in the forest. You haven't been there in ages. What's the point of owning a forest if you don't go in it," Sirius said as he was tugging James's arm.

James glared at him, tugged his arm away from Sirius's hands and said "No, I don't want to go in the FORBIDDEN forest. Besides, you never ask me to go into the forest, what do you want that's in there?"

James looked accusingly at Sirius waiting for his answer. Sirius looked away from James's hazel eyes. The truth was that Sirius saw that man from the Apothecary run into the Forbidden Forest, but he was not going to tell James that.

Sirius looked at James, smirked, and said "And doesn't it make it more exciting to go into a FORBIDDEN forest, and besides you have been there…"

James had a gloomy face, his eyes just stared blankly "Yeah, fine Padfoot, we'll go on your little adventure, but we leave right away if we see anything dangerous."

Sirius smiled, ignored the fact that James used a long forgotten nickname, and went into the forest.

James had a bad feeling as he followed Sirius. James looked back; he felt that once he went into the forest, he will find something that will change his life forever.

"Damn you Sirius," James muttered and followed his best friend into the forest.
