Remus and Harry sat down at a large table, and Lily, Sirius, Peter and James joined them, "Now, let's get down to business." James began, looking fully confident, until Severus Snape walked by them.
"Potter" Snape muttered.
"Snape" James said back, biting back a nasty insult and retched curse.
Then, out of no where..."Ha! Look, Potter's so afraid he needs a body guard!" Lucius Malfoy snickered, though it hardly made any sense, it still offended James to an extent.
"Malfoy!" James growled as he lunged forward. It took Sirius, Remus and Harry to hold the young Wizard down. "Locomotor Mortis!" James shouted, Lucius's legs locked together and he fell to the ground. "Stupefy!" he said.
"James!" Harry gasped. James quit struggling and Harry went to Lucius. With a flick of his, Harry non-verbally un-Stupefied Malfoy.
"What were you thinking you git!" Lily shouted, hitting his arm, but Harry saw, out of the corner of his eye, her snickering with the rest of them. By this time a group of students had formed around them, watching in amusement as Lucius struggled to attack James.
"Off with you! Nothing to see!" Harry shouted. He walked back to the Marauders and Lily, "I have never condoned bullying, but I must say" Harry looked up to make sure no one was in ear shot, "Nice work".
James smiled proudly as they sat back down at their table. "Now, what exactly did you want to discuss?" Harry asked. Sirius smiled wickedly at Harry, and Lily hit his shoulder.
"Let's not scare the man" she said, rolling her eyes. She looked over at Harry and smiled widely. "You can conjure a Patronus" she said. Harry nodded. "And you're suppose to teach of Defense Against the Dark Arts" she mused
"And Patronus is Defense" Remus added.
"Where is this getting at?" Harry asked. He raised his eyebrows curiously at the five young teens.
"We want you to teach us how to conjure a Patronus" James said
"I dunno about that" Harry denied.
"We'll let you think about it" Lily said.
******
"Harry, when'd you become Seeker on your team?" James asked
"My first year"
"No way! Get out! First years can't even bring brooms to school!" Sirius said
"How'd you get on the team?"
"My friend's Remembrall was stolen by some Slytherin while we were learning how to ride our brooms, he mounted it and flew off, so I chased him and got it back. When a Professor saw me, I was sure I'd get detention for a month, but instead she awarded me Seeker on the team." Harry smiled proudly as he thought of the memory.
"Really? When I hexed Malfoy to get Remus's textbook back, I got two detentions with McGonagall" James said
"I wonder why" Lily joked
"Me too!" James agreed.
"I wonder how you made it to your seventh year" Remus muttered
"We used your notes, remember Moony?" Sirius joked.
"Oh yeah" Remus mused.
"It's a wonder how you survived without me, Remus" Lily said.
"I think that was an insult" Sirius said
"Nah! Really?" James said, feigning surprise
"Yeah, I think so!" Sirius mused.
"Sirius, you're such a prick" James said
"Whatever you say, Mega-Glue" Sirius retorted
" It wasn't my fault! You're the one that was all, 'Use Mega-Glue, James, it's about as strong as a permanent-sticking charm, Harry's butt'll be stuck to that desk like the stick up McGonagall's butt'."James said in a mock-voice.
"I didn't say it like that! Besides, you're the one that said, 'Let's use the whoopee-cushion charm on his seat so that it'd look like he farted'!"Sirius shouted
"You're the one that was like, 'It'll be awesome pranking this guy, let's do it!'!" James shouted back
"You're the one that abandoned us to go hang out with Lily on the Quidditch field!"
"You're the one that put up with all my crap for seven years!"
"You're the one that let me stay at your house when I ran away!"
"You're the one that's my best friend!"
"Yeah. Yeah. That's real nice, wait to drop the bomb, buddy" Remus said, jokingly.
They broke out laughing at how idiotic they had been. Harry smiled, it reminded him of him and Ron when they were at school.
"You guys are so weird" Lily said, "No wonder the only people that will stand you are yourselves!" she said
"That's not true" Sirius said
"Yeah. You're here, aren't you?" James said, smiling his lop-sided grin.
"Only because I don't want you to drive Harry mad"
"Harry's not your son" James said. You don't know how wrong you are, Harry thought. "He's a grown man."
"Yeah, something you'll never be" Lily snapped
"Oooooooh" Sirius said, "That was a cold snap!"
"You too fight like an old married couple" Remus sighed
"We do not!" Lily denied
"Yeah. We aren't old!" James 'agreed'.
"Nor are we married" Lily said
"That too" he said
"You two remind me so much of my two best mates" Harry said
"What happened to them?" James asked
"They got married" Harry said
"Please tell me one is a girl and one is a boy" Lily begged
"Yes," Harry said, chuckling.
******
"I don't think it'd be a good idea for me to teach you how to conjure a Patronus" Harry said
"But why not?" Sirius asked
"Because, a dementor is a scary thing. I don't think it's a good idea to expose students to something like that" Harry said.
"Please! You told us that your teacher taught you!" Remus said.
"I know, and I fainted."
"You fainted?" Sirius asked, him and James laughing at their Professor, who had seemed so brave.
"Like I said, it's a scary thing"
"That's true" Lily agreed.
"But it's possible to use a Bogart" Remus noted.
"But I was never a good enough Charms student" Harry shrugged
"Get Flitwick to help you!" James suggested
"Okay, fine. I'll consider it" Harry agreed.
"Thank you, thank you Professor!" Lily said.

-Chapter Nine-
Finally he saw it. A door almost identical to the one he used to enter the hallway; the only difference was a sign that hung in the center of it that read: HARRY J POTTER—DEFENSE AGAINST THE DARK ARTS. James reached for the knob and turned it slowly. "Professor?" he asked as he opened the door.
"Come in" he heard his Professor say. He pushed the door open all the way, wincing as it creaked in the silence. He walked through into the room and the teacher smiled at him. "James, wonderful surprise. What's on your mind?"
