Chapter Two

DC: I don't own Harry Potter

"I'm frwee!"

"Lookit this! It's some sorta drwink!"

"I fweel cold…"

In front of Lily were three young boys. One stood up touching a fire whiskey bottle that was threatening to fall off the table. Another was on the floor getting ready to cry, and the last was running around her little kitchen table. Besides the little boys, that were naked, her kitchen looked a little mess.

The rest of her potion looked like it was heaped onto the floor. A few bottles of fire whiskey, and what looked like some sort of alcoholic drink, lay around on the table and the floor. One chair was turned over, and it looked like someone got sick next to it.

The little boy, who was going to cry, had short brown hair. His gray eyes looked ready to water. He tried to cover himself up. The one that was poking at the bottle on the table had unruly black hair, hazel eyes, and a little mischievous look in them. He wore wire-framed glasses that were whole sizes too big for him. The one that was running around the table had a little longer black hair, dark eyes, and a look of pure innocence on his face. He, from what Lily could see, was hyper at the moment, and didn't know how to slow it down.

The brown haired one finally burst into tears. Upon seeing the one cry, the two stopped what they were doing, and dropped down. They started to cry too. Lily ran a hand through her red hair, and went to them.

"It'll…err…be okay." Lily cooed.

"I'm frweezing!" The little brown haired one cried.

Lily took another good look at the boys. She had no clue how they got here, but something seemed familiar about them. Then it clicked. The boy with glasses was James, hyper boy was Sirius, and the one with brown hair was Remus. Why she didn't catch on earlier, she didn't know.

Remus continued to cry, but Sirius and James looked up at Lily. "Mommy I'm cold too…"

"Yeah…"

'This is not right! What were they doing? Remus—'

Lily looked down at the crying boy. Her heart melted for him, and she couldn't bring herself to yell at him. She bent down and hugged the little boy for a moment. "Don't worry I'll get you guys something to wear."

"I want a hug too…" Sirius said, holding his arms up with a sad expression.

"Me too…" James added, holding his arms up too.

Lily sighed, and gave the other two boys a hug before getting up. She didn't know what to do, but she knew someone who might. She told them to stay where they were at, and went into her closet upstairs. There she found some old sweaters. If she put them in this they'll stay warm for a while. She went back downstairs and found the three boys hadn't moved.

"We'll wrap you up in these for the moment." She said.

The boys stood in a line, and she wrapped them up. She had no idea how she was going to get all three boys up to Hogwarts. The only way possible she could think of was apparating. She had a fireplace, but it was only big enough for the boys to fit. She had no broom, but brooms wouldn't work anyway. That would be four of them to just one if she even had one.

She grabbed her wand. Before doing anything, she cleaned up her kitchen. The three little boys dressed in their big long sweaters watched as everything magically cleaned itself.

"Wow!" Sirius exclaimed. "It's just like magic!"

"It is." Lily said. "Now I can't explain to you boys yet, but we need to go see someone."

"A fairy?" James asked excitedly.

Lily gave him a strange look. "No…not quite really. Now two of you hold my hands, and one grab my leg."

Lily put her wand in her right hand, before the boys could grab anything. Sirius and James grabbed Lily's hands first, James holding her right wrist. Remus hung onto Lily's leg. Lily took a deep breath. "This might hurt…" She said, raising her wand a little.

She gave it a flick. They apparated with a pop. The experience for the three young boys was like being squeezed through a thin tube. Everything felt like it was being sucked into a pipe. The boys held onto Lily with all their might, as Lily tried to concentrate as hard as she could.

They landed, and immediately the boys let go of her, and fell to the ground. They started to cry, and Lily had to hush them up fast. She was relieved no one got splinched.

"I'm sorry, okay? It was the only way! Please stop crying."

The little Marauders stopped eventually and to Lily's fortune no one saw them or heard them. She led them on up the hill to the gates of Hogwarts. She got inside, and hurried them further in. The boys were confused, and were slipping around the wet grass. Lily guessed it had recently rained around Hogwarts.

They got to the big doors, and pulled them open. The boys looked around at the moving paintings, and wondered just how they moved. Lily wouldn't let them gaze forever though; she pushed them up the steps, and headed toward the Hospital Wing.

Lily opened the door, and Madame Pomfrey jumped. She usually didn't have any visitors during the summer, well except Lily who was only there about two months before. Madame Pomfrey gathered herself up, before looking at the three boys.

"What's wrong, Miss Evans?" Madame Pomfrey asked.

"It's…it's happened." Lily said. Madame Pomfrey gave her an odd look. "I mean look at them. At them!"

Madame Pomfrey observed the three boys. It didn't cross her mind that these were the Marauders until she saw James's glasses. She quickly looked up to Lily. She shrugged, and shook her head. She really didn't know how it happened.

"What is wrong, Mommy?" James asked, backing away until he hit her leg. "That lady is looking at me funny."

"Miss Evans I suggest you go see the Headmaster. I'll check on these…boys."

Lily explained to the three that she was a good doctor, and that she'll take care of them until she comes back. Remus was a little reluctant to let her go, but finally they stopped giving her the sad faces, and climbed onto a Hospital bed. Lily left the Wing thoroughly confused. Questions, a lot of them, were forming in her mind.

She walked on up to Dumbledore's office, and knocked on the door. She waited a moment then heard Dumbledore's voice saying, "Come! Come in Miss Evans."

Lily pushed open the door. Dumbledore made a motion to a seat, and Lily took it. She sat very uncomfortable. She was worried and confused.

"I see you've brought another predicament." Dumbledore said. He wasn't sitting down, but instead pacing back and forth in front of his desk. Lily watched him nervously. Dumbledore finally took a seat after the few moments of pacing, and smiled warmly. Lily relaxed a little. "You did bring in the three boys didn't you?"

Lily nodded. "I…I did. But I'm so confused!" Lily explained, looking at Dumbledore's smiling face. "I don't know how it happened, and I don't know what to do! I was only gone for a few minutes sir, and—"

Dumbledore used a hand to silence her. Lily looked down at her folded hands on her lap. "I'm sorry. I was rambling."

"I'm used to it." Dumbledore quipped. He got up again, and started to pace. Lily watched him with restless eyes. What was he thinking? You could never really guess on what the great Dumbledore was thinking on times like these. It could be about the Dark War that was supposedly going on, or even lemon drops, which Lily has heard are his favorite treats.

Dumbledore stopped across from Lily, the smile wiped off his face. He looked more serious now. "I am sure you know they already like you."

"Yes," Lily said. They already were calling her mother. "I do."

"Well then that solves it." Dumbledore said. "You must, it is your responsibility now, to care for them until they come of age."

Lily, somehow, didn't have any bad feelings about that. I mean the Marauders did take care of her, although she was only one person, and she supposed she could take care of three. I mean she was like three little girls in one from what she heard of. She nodded, and Dumbledore smiled again.

"Very well Miss Evans." He said, holding out his hand. "I shall contact their guardians, and Mr. Potter's new job, to tell them the situation. I'll see to it myself that you won't be the fault of their…er…actions."

Lily wondered for a moment how Dumbledore knew so much, and even knew that James had really gotten a job. Pushing it past her mind, Lily shook Dumbledore's hand, feeling more weight of new things on her shoulders, and nodded again. "I promise I'll take good care of them."

"Who knows? This might be training for when you have your own children." Dumbledore mused, letting her hand go.

Lily was a little taken back at this remark. She quickly turned away, just to make sure she wasn't blushing or anything. She turned back, and Dumbledore was at his desk.

"I'm sure they'd like to see you now, Miss Evans. Do tell Poppy that you'll be taking care of them. She'll help you with anything you need to know. She'll also provide you with some things."

Lily thanked him, and left out of his office. She took two deep breaths, and headed down the Gargoyle, and towards the Hospital Wing.
