I do not own Harry Potter and take no credit for it


Chapter 1: The Meeting

James and a 10-year-old Harry almost feel through the kitchen door because they were so exhausted after their mini training session and then the frantic sprint back to the house to see who was faster without a broom. Remus was sitting at the kitchen table munching on some toast and reading the Daily Prophet. He turned to see the father and son collapsed on the floor laughing and arguing over who had got to the door first. A small smile appeared across Remus' face as James stood up, dusted himself off and went to get some tea. Harry went and sat down next to Remus and laid his head in his hands. He was pooped.

"Are you OK uncle Remus? You look ill" said Harry, his voice still slightly muffled from his head still being in his hands.

"Should we tell him James?" Remus said turning to James who simply nodded. Remus turned back to Harry. "Harry, have you ever heard your dad and uncle Sirius call me Moony?" Harry nodded in agreement, where was this all going he wondered. "Well the reason they call me Moony is because every time there is a full moon, I turn into a werewolf " A look of amazement came across Harry's face.

"That's awesome… Moony" said Harry making small giggle at Remus' nickname

"Your dad and uncle Sirius can also turn into animals. Your dad can become a stag and Sirius can become a shaggy dog. That's why we call him Padfoot and your dad Prongs"

Harry turned to his father who put down the mug in his hand and quickly turned into a stag, walked up to Harry and started nuzzling his neck. Harry started squirming because it was really ticklish. James turned back to his normal self and went back to his tea.

Harry began aimlessly staring out of the window then he began to see a white speck appear. It got bigger and bigger until Harry finally saw that it was and owl. It landed on the windowsill and Harry got up to go and let it in.

"Post!" Harry shouted removing the letters from the owl, giving him a stroke. James came over and removed the letters from Harry allowing him to go and fetch a treat for the bird. James was sifting through the post, most of it being boring old rubbish from the ministry requesting he sit on a Death Eater trial. James rarely attended the trials even if he was a Lord. James finally cam across a letter that he recognised because he had been given one when he was the same age as Harry.

"Harry, letter for you". James handed the letter to his son who had a perplexed look on his face. Why was he getting a letter unless…

"It's from Hogwarts!" he shouted, bouncing around the room. James grabbed him as Harry ran past him.

"I guess that means we need to go to Diagon Alley" An even bigger smile appeared across Harry's face.

James, Remus, Harry and Sirius walked into the living room and stood in front of the fire. James bent over and picked up a pot of gold floo powder. Sirius stepped forward, took a handful of the powder and stepped into the fireplace. He winked at Harry, dropped the powder and said "the Leaky Cauldron" Harry just stood in amazement as his godfather was engulfed in green flame and then disappeared. Remus went forward doing the same as Sirius minus the wink. James lowered the pot down so Harry could reach. He took a small handful of the powder and walk into the fireplace.

"Just throw the powder down and say Diagon Alley very clearly OK?" Harry nodded in reply

He threw the powder down and said "Diagon Alley" Green flames swirled around him and the next thing he new he was greeted by Remus and Sirius who pulled him out of the fire so that his father could get through. A moment later James appeared in the same green flames. He stepped out, took hold of Harry's hand and the group walked out into the alley. Harry was amazed at what he saw, shops selling all sorts of different things from animals to magical plants that Harry had never heard of. James, Remus and Sirius formed a shield around Harry as people started to notice him, them began pointing and saying his name. Harry looked up to his Father and asked "Why are people staring at me and saying my name?"

"Lets get to Gringotts and i'll explain it all OK" Harry nodded and resumed looking around at all the shops. The group headed towards a huge building that was in the centre of the alley. They entered through two hued double doors into a huge chamber that was filled with Goblins sitting at desks counting gold. Harry knew it was rude to stair but he couldn't help himself.

They eventual stopped in front of the Goblin that was down the far end of the chamber. The goblin looked up from the parchment and asked "What can I help you with today sir"

"I'm here to see Griphook" said James. The Goblin got up and showed the group to an anti chamber at the side of the main one. They stopped outside a door and the Goblin wish them well and went back to his desk.

James knelt down in front of his son. "Harry, you know how your mother died correct?" Harry nodded "well the reason people are staring at you i because you survived a killing curse that was cast by the same person that kill mum. Now he was a powerful wizard that could match even Dumbledore and he was killed by the curse that he cast at you. You destroyed the most evil wizard of the modern age at the age of one. That is why everybody is staring at you. You're famous. Plus you have one seriously good looking father" James said that last bit with a smirk on his face.

"Daaad!" Harry said slapping his dad on the shoulder.

James knocked and entered the room that they were standing next to. The room wasn't huge but it was big enough for the group, the Goblin and furniture to fit.

"Lord Potter," said Griphook "what can I do for you today?"

"I need access to the main family vault for a withdrawal and then I need to visit the Potter Storage vault"

"Of course, I presume you have you keys?"

"Certainly do" said James removing two keys from his pocket. They all followed the goblin outside back to the main chamber.

"James, me and Moony are going to do a bit of shopping quickly whilst you deal with that, K?"

"Ok, we'll meet you outside the Quiditch Supreme"


James and Harry turned and followed Griphook to the carts. They climbed into one and got ready to go. "I'd hold on to me if I was you Harry, don't want you falling of do we" Harry immediately grabbed hold of the side of the cart and his fathers arm as the cart began to move.

They travelled for at least 5 minutes. They must be really deep now thought Harry. They finally came to a stomach lurching stop.

"Here we are my Lord, the Potter family vault" James and Harry both climbed out of the cart and towards that door. James inserted a key which set of a chain reaction of bolts and locks causing them to unlock. The door swung open to reveal the largest amount of Galleons Harry had ever seen. He knew his family was rich but never that rich. James walked in a filled 3 big bags of money and then left, locking the door behind him.

"On to the next vault please Griphook" Harry and James climbed back into the cart and it immediately set off. The journey probably only took about thirty seconds considering the speed that they were travelling.

"The Potter Storage vault" James once again climbed out of the cart but as Harry made to do the same, his father stopped him.

"Harry you don't need to get out for this one, i just need to collect an item for my office at home. Wont be a minute." he turned and headed for the door, opening it in the same way as the last vault. He stepped in so that he was completely out of Harry's sight. Mere seconds later he returned and it looked like he had taken nothing, but Harry knew that he had shrunk the item so that it was easier to carry.

The Cart set off back to the station by the main hall. Harry climbed off looking like he was going to be sick. The two thanked Griphook for his services and then made for the exit.


As the walked down the steps outside, Harry noticed a small fiery-red haired girl standing by herself looking scared. Harry tugged on James arm and pointed towards the girl. James nodded and he and Harry walked towards the girl.

"Are you ok?" said Harry, now facing the girl.

"No, I can't find my family. One minute I was walking down the alley next to them, the next they had gone" the girl said with a slight tremble in her voice.

"We'll find them don't worry. Now by any chance would you happen to be a Weasley because I know of no other people with hair that red?" Said James

"Yeah I am. Ginevra Weasley but I prefer Ginny, I'm the youngest out of the family" She was becoming slightly more relaxed now.

"Right, well I'm James Potter and this is my son…"

"Harry!" interrupted Ginny who suddenly became very red. Harry just stood there stunned.

"Yes, that's it. Right well lets go and find your parents. My first guess would be Flourish and Blots which is just there" James pointed towards the shop that was just next to the one they were standing by. "Hold each others hands, don't want both of you getting lost"

Both Harry and Ginny blushed at James' instructions but di as they were told. They linked hands and followed James the few feet that were needed to get to the entrance of the shop.

James held the door open for the two kids and smiled to himself. Harry looked a lot like himself and Ginny surprisingly looked liked Lily. The both looked like a younger version of himself and Lily when they had eventually got together.

A Ginger haired woman towards Ginny taking her in her arms "My god Ginny, I'm sorry we lost you, we should have been paying more attention"

"Mum it's fine" Said Ginny pulling away from her mother to hug her farther "Guess who helped me!" she said with excitement in her voice

"Dunno hun, who?" Mr. Weasley said

"Harry Potter and his dad! They saw me in the street and asked if I was ok and then suggested that we look in here"

At that moment James and Harry appeared behind Ginny.

"Molly, Arthur" said James "It's been too long, how have you both been?" Said James as he shook Ginny's dads and hugged her mum.

"We have been good, not much happening nowadays after You-know-who died, Thank you for helping Ginny," said Molly Weasley smiling at the both of them.

"Don't thank me thank Harry, he saw Ginny looking scared all by herself and asked if we could go and help her out" James then ruffled Harry's already messy hair.

"Well thank you Harry, it was very kind of you" said Molly as she hugged Harry once again, "we must get going anyway, we have my second eldest coming for dinner tonight and he only visits on rare occasions"

"Charlie? Where does he work then?" said James inquisitively

"Romania, handling dragons" said Arthur

"Well he did well for himself, say hello from me cause it must have been years since I last saw him"

James shook Arthur's hand and hugged Molly "I'll be sure to" she said

Whilst the adults had been talking, Harry and Ginny were having a conversation about Quiditch and how they both enjoyed it.


"My dad says that I'm a natural on a broom but I just think that it's something that runs in that family cause all the male Potters seem to have been great on brooms" said Harry

"Well I think I'm ok on a broom," said Ginny, still slightly red as she was talking to her hero and crush. She had always wanted to meet Harry just like every other witch had but she also wanted the Harry Potter for herself when she got older. "I have to sneak out at night to go on one as my brothers don't let me play with them and I don't have a broom of my own"

"That's a shame… Hey! Should I ask my dad if you can come over, we could fly there if you want" Said Harry with and excited look on his face.

"That's a great idea, I'll ask my parents when they have finished talking"

"Right, come on Harry we better go and meet uncle Moony and Uncle Padfoot," said James

"Yeah, oh dad?"

"Harry?" said James with an eyebrow raised

"Is it ok if Ginny came round tomorrow or sometime soon?"

"Well I don't see any problem with it," James turned to Molly and Arthur "Is it cool with you, I can get some lunch done by the elves if you would like to come, they make some of the best food I have tasted"

Molly and Arthur agreed to let Ginny go in the morning and they and the rest of the Family would join her at lunch.

"Right well, we'll see you at around one then. Come on Harry, let's get going" Harry waved at Ginny as he turned to walk out of the shop. This caused Ginny to blush quite a bit.

"Took you guys long enough to get her" said Sirius who was looking rather bored

"Sorry Padfoot, Harry saw the youngest Weasley looking lost in the street and decided to help her out" Harry blushed as Sirius beamed at him

"Good man, went for a woman in distress, easy pickup" a small smirk appeared across his face when he said that.

"Sirius, we don't need you giving woman advice to Harry now or ever, he doesn't need the torment, so continue James" said Remus Looking from Sirius to James

"Well after a brief conversation with them, Harry asked if the little one could come round, Ginny I believe she like to be called" He looked down at Harry at the last bit who simply nodded. "So now they are coming for lunch".

"Sounds fun now lets get you your Hogwarts stuff… Damn it! We could have got the books from Flourish and Blots when we were there, oh well guess that means a return trip" said James

The group spent the rest of the day buying Harry's school stuff and laughed when they remembered doing all that stuff when they were younger.
