"So, where are we going?" Dave asked James the next day while Harry put his hair into a low ponytail at the nape of his neck.

Dave and Harry wore all black, Lily wore a light blue summer dress, and James wore a formal white shirt, slightly baggy pants and brown boots.

James grinned. "We're going to meet Sirius and Remus at the Weasley's home, which is called the Burrow. Afterwards, we'll go to Diagon Alley. I wonder how Arthur and Molly are?"

"Well, we can find out now, honey. I believe we're all ready to go." Lily stated, dragging Harry to the fireplace.

At the Burrow, Arthur and Molly introduced themselves and their children. "Bill is the oldest, then it's Charlie, Percy, Fred and George, Ron, and our only daughter, Ginny." They all had variations of fiery red hair and freckles.

After the introductions were finished, the adults left to let the children get to know each other better.

"So, you'll be attending Hogwarts?" Ron asked, breaking the awkward silence.

Harry raised a fine eyebrow (what, did he trim them?) while answering. "Well, I suppose that's why we left America."

The twins, taking an immediate liking to Harry, pushed Ron out of the way. "Hello Harry. I am Fred, this is George-."

"-but we prefer the devilishly handsome good-looking Gred and Forge."

"So what's it like-"

"-being the son-"

"-of a marauder?"

Harry laughed at the twins antics, admiring the fact that George and Fred could speak like that without getting confused. "It's never boring and you shouldn't let your guard down at all."

"What was it like in America?" Ron asked, trying to get to know Harry better.

"Very different. Everybody's addicted to coffee."

"I'm a cursebreaker, I work for Gringotts. Charlie here works in Romania with dragons, and Percy works at the ministry." Bill was telling Dave.

Dave grinned. "Really? That's cool, but I'm going to be a professional quidditch player when I'm through with school."

Charlie glanced over at Harry, who had managed to get the twins to describe their prank products. "What does Harry plan to do?"

"Truthfully, I'm not sure." Dave responded, as he also glanced in Harry's direction.

"That's because you've never asked me, now have you?" Harry, who had heard them, smiled at Dave before turning to Charlie. "I plan to be a master in healing, potions, demon language, and demonic magic."

Bill whistled. "Quite a schedule you'll have. That's an impressive goal, wish you luck."

"Thanks," Harry smiled secretively at him before being dragged back into the conversatin on the prank products.

In the corner, Percy watched the proceedings. He decided that he didn't like Harry, but could tolerate him (because he kept the twins distracted). Yet, he couldn't stand Dave.

Several moments later, a large black grim-like dog ran into the room and pounced on Harry. Harry staggered slightly, and glared at the dog. "Siri, knock it off!"

The dog slowly transformed back into Sirius, who pouted at Harry. "Why must you ruin my fun?"

"Sometimes, I seriously wonder who is the adult around here is," Harry sighed in exaggeration.

Sirius turned ot Fred, George, and Ron. "So says Harry, a master at revenge if I ever saw one."

The next second, Harry had spelled Sirius' hair to Slytherin colors saying, "That's why you never insult me when I can hear you."

"Harry."

"Yes, Siri?"

"Run."

"Nope, cause mom is standing in the doorway, and you wouldn't want to do anyhting in front of her."

Sirius whirled around to face the dooorway, and indeed, LIly was standing there with James, Remus, Molly, and Arthur. "Uhhh, hi Lils?"

"Sirius Black, you do know better to try and threaten one of my sons, correct?" Lily's voice held a dangerous note.

"Of course, Lils. I would never harm Harry in anyway way, form, or even threaten to do harm to him," Sirius said, meaningful.

"Oh, okay. Then there is no problem. We came to get you guys and tell you we are ready to go to Diagon Alley. Everyone sighed as Lily spoke, relaxing as the tension left th room.

As Lily went ahead to Diagon Alley with James, leaving Sirius and Harry to bring up the rear seeing as they were the only ones left, Sirius whispered. "I'll get you back , just you wait."

Harry grinned, accepting the challenge for what it was- a prank war.
