"Ahh, I may have forgotten to mention to all of you that I'm related to the Queen"

Harry, Remus and Sirius stood in shock. All three of them had no clue at all about him being related to the Royals and two of them were meant to be his best friends and one his son.

Sirius was the only one to eventually say something, "But… what… whaa…"

"Yeah, I probably should have mentioned that earlier but it's not really that important it be honest"

"Not important, James your related to the Queen, of course its important" said Remus, "How did you and for your parents for that matter keep it a secret?"

"I don't know how my parents kept it a secret but I kinda forgot about it seeing as I was five when I last saw her and the rest of them", James shrugged, "sorry but anyway, Edgard, what's up?" James turned to face the elf.

"Well Master James, Mistress Elizabeth was wondering if she would be able to meet her Great Grand nephew before he goes to school and to meet his cousins"

"Well tell her we'll come tomorrow at around 11, okay"

"I shall tell her Master James, see you tomorrow" The elf then bowed, turned and exited the room.

James turned back to face the rest of them as Sirius finally came to, "Well that was unexpected but it will be nice to see them all again" said James

"Your telling us James, but you have a lot of explaining to do" said Sirius


At 10:45, the Marauders and Harry were sitting in the kitchen waiting for Edgard to turn up. Remus was in his usual place reading the Daily Prophet and drinking Coffee, Sirius and Harry were deep into a game of Wizards chess and James was telling Mickey and Minnie that they may or may not be back for dinner.

Dead on 11 o'clock Edgard arrived in the kitchen. He bowed and said, "If you will all grab my hands, we shall be off"

The four of them took hold of the elf's hands and with a small crack they were gone.

They landed in what they assumed was the outer chamber and Edgard led them to so red velvet sofas. As they sat down Edgard disappeared momentarily only to return with a tea and biscuits on a silver tray. All of them bar Harry accepted some tea who instead took a biscuit.

James leant towards his son and whispered into his ear, "When you first meet Aunty Elizabeth, remember to call her your Majesty, only then will she allow you to call her some thing different" Harry nodded in reply.

Suddenly, the two large doors at the end of the room opened and a man wearing Tails in Royal purple stepped through, "Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and his Royal Highness Prince Phillip" The man then proceeded to step out of the way and bow as The Queen and her husband stepped through the doorway. Harry, James, Remus and Sirius quickly stood and bowed at the two of them.

"Good day your Majesties" said James standing strait after his bow

"And good day to you James" said the Queen as she sat down on one of the sofas followed by Phillip. She then looked at the two other men "Now Names if you please"

"Remus Lupin your Majesty" said Remus with a slight tremble in his voice

"Lord Sirius Black your Majesty," said Sirius sounding the same as Remus

"Okay" she then turned to face Harry, "and you must be my great great grand nephew Harry"

Harry immediately went pale in fright but the smile on the Queens face reassured him.

"I am your Majesty"

"Good. Well done all of you for following protocol and calling us your Majesty but from now on you two," she pointed at Sirius and Remus, "can call me Elizabeth and my husband Phillip and you two, "she then faced James and Harry, "can call me Auntie, Elisabeth or Liz, Okay?" The four of them nodded.

"Now", said Elizabeth, turning again to face Harry and James, "Harry, firstly I wanted to wish you happed birthday and secondly I wanted you to meet my grandsons Williams and Harry as they are going into their seventh year at Hogwarts and it would be nice for you to be able to know people who have been their for some time"

"Edgard can you fetch the boys please" A small elf appeared, bowed and left returning moments later with two boys.

The boys looked about 16 and 17 and the younger one had ginger hair that could rival Ginny's.

Both boys stepped towards Remus and Sirius first giving them a firm handshake and then turned to face Harry and James. Again they shook hands and then the teenagers sat down on a chair next to James and Harry.

"Now" said Elizabeth, "I don't believe you've met the boys have you James"

"No I haven't Auntie, the last time I met any of you I was five"

"Ah yes, that was a fun day. I believe you pushed dear Dianna in the pool at Potter Manor," at this a small smirk came across James' face whilst Sirius and Remus had a look of shock on theirs, "anyway, these boys are her sons William and Harry. William is in his seventh year of Hogwarts and Harry is in his sixth"

"Cool" said Harry, sitting next to his father

William turned to Harry, "Harry, you want to come to our rooms and we'll tell you loads of stuff about Hogwarts?"

"Yeah sure" and with that the three boys left the room to allow the adults to talk.


At around 5 o'clock after they had all had a brilliant lunch and afternoon tea, James, Remus, Sirius and Harry bid their farewells and were about to leave when Elizabeth asked if she could give Harry his birthday present.

Elizabeth led Harry into her office and went to the cupboard against the wall, opened the door and reached down to a chest. She pulled it out and placed it on her desk. She then beckoned Harry towards her as she opened up the chest. Inside was a silver bowl, well more of a curved piece of silver, which was filled with a shiny, water like liquid.

"Do know what this Harry?" asked Elizabeth. Harry shook his head in reply.

"It's called a Pensive, it allows you to look at memories. I'm giving this to you because I was told to" Harry looked at her confused

"Harry, the notes in the chests will it all but please only tell your father about the pensive part. Once again the notes will explain it all" Elizabeth closed the chest and pulled out a smooth holly wand and shrank the chest, giving it to Harry.

The two of them made their way back to the others. Elizabeth thanked them for coming and told them to call Edgard any time they wanted to visit. The group said the rest of their goodbyes before being apparated back to Potter Mansion.

Harry quickly ran upstairs whilst the three adults went into the living room to go talk to Lily's portrait.

A soon as Harry got to his room he pulled out a piece of parchment and began his letter to Ginny.

AN: Sorry this is a small chapter but I had a hard time trying to write this bit without giving too much away too quickly. I should hopefully get a new chapter up by a week on Wednesday If my life sorts itself out enough for me to do so and Harry will start school in that one :)

Once again R&R
