'Lily? Shuttup'
And she continues to rant…
'Lily? SHUT UP!'
And she ignores me.
'Lily? Harry's crying'
And NOW she listens!
Lily stopped cursing and threatening and started to take deep breaths. In. Out. In. Out.
'What?' She asked.
'Padfoot has gone after Pettigrew I think. He has given Harry to Hagrid to take to the Dursley's on Dumbledore's orders.'
'WHAT? Is Padfoot ASKING for a death wish?'
'More like a Dementor wish' I mumbled.
'And anyway, why does Dumbledore want him to go to the Dursley's' she spat out.
'Tuney hates magic! And he knows that. Our poor harry is going to be mistreated because of me!' She stood up and started to pace again, muttering incoherently under her breath.
I got to my feet as well and wrapped my arms around her.
'Shh Lils. Shh. I'm sure Dumbledore has a good reason. Let's go watch Harry, Dumbledore is bound to explain, and let's hope that Padfoot doesn't do anything rash at the moment.' After a few moments, she nodded. Taking her hand in mine, I guided her slowly back to the viewing point.
'Let's just see how Petunia and Vernon take to Harry kay? Boy, I wonder how Dumbles will explain to them…'
We could see Hagrid flying across the sea on Padfoots flying motorbike. Wow he loved that thing. It was like Sirius and the bike were attached at the hip! Lily and I inferred that the lump in Hagrid's coat was Harry.
'Oooh Hagrid be careful! I do not want my child to slip down and fall a thousand metres!' Lily exclaimed.
'Don't worry Lily, I would trust Hagrid with my life. Even if he doesn't seem it, he really is careful… some of the time. And I do not think he can hear you' But I said the last bit quite softly. This didn't really seem to reassure her but hey, it was the best I could do.
'So Lily, we have determined Harry is safe, and Sirius will probably not do anything till the morning so we can relax'
'Yeah I guess your right. But James, do you know how to work this thing? Like will it only show harry, and where he is, or can we look at other people?'
'That is an excellent point my Lily flower! Lets experiment!' The endless possibilities that could come from this was exciting. I could stalk Snivellus. Wait, why would I want to? I'm sure he leads a boring life. I mean, hes Snivellus!
'James… you are 21 years old! Stop acting like a 5 year old… but then again, your mental capacity is of a 5 year old… never mind. You're acting your mental age.' She scolded.
I mock pouted at her.
'Nup, I am not taking it back'
Still pouting.
'No.'
Pouting.
'James you know it's the truth. Stop complaining' Dang, she has a point.
'Yeah well, if your so smart, how do you work this thing?'
'Easy. Vernon and Petunia Dursley!' She shouted down.
And behold, before my eyes the scene started changing dramatically, like the earth was rotating quickly to show us what we wanted. And in less than a few seconds we were looking down at them sleeping peacefully in their rooms, unaware of the terrible deed that took place that night.
Lily smirked at me. Why does she have to be so smart?
'Fine then Mrs Smarty Pants.
'How can I be MRS Smarty pants?' She cut in. 'That means I have to be married to someone smart and that doesn't exactly apply to you…'
Scowling at her I continued on with my speech.
'And as interesting as this must be to you, I prefer watching Harry sleep rather than Mrs Thin and Mr Big. So… Harry Potter!'
This time the scene wasn't as dizzying. But I suppose that was because it only shifted about 100 metres. Yes that's right folks, Harry Potter, my son, was outside on the street. Hang on… wait… HE IS ON THE FRONT DOOR! ALL ALONE! IN THE COLD!
Lily seemed to have just come to the conclusion the same time I had.
'DumbleDORE! YOU FOOLISH OLD MAN! DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT LOOKING AFTER A BABY? FOR ONE THING THEY GET COLD EASILY! AND IT IS FREEZING OUT THERE! Aww my poor baby Harry is going to get a cold' she screamed then changed tones and cooed. The famous Evans temper. At least I'm not at the receiving end of it THIS time. Phew.
But the peace and quiet from her outburst didn't last long. She seemed to have recalled what she was ranting on about and started up again.
'And what about explaining to Petunia? HOW HAVE YOU EXPLAINED TO HER! ALL I CAN SEE IS AN ENVELOPE! HOW DO YOU EXPECT HER TO …' There's a letter? I tuned her out and examined our little bundle of joy, looking so peaceful in that little basket thingy Dumbledore I think made for him… Ah yes, there's the letter. Clutched in his pink little hand was a piece of white paper which I ASSUMED to be a letter. I mean what else could it be? A *insert witty object here*? AU: yeah sorry I can't think of anything now… if I think of something good or if you can think of something ill add it if I like it (and give credit to you of course) sorry but I really wanted to put this chapter up :D
Harry turned over and clutched the letter closer to him and that's when I saw the Lightning Bolt scar on his forehead. Wow… that must have been where he was hit by the curse. Then my next thought interrupted my brain. My son is going to be ffaaammmmooouuusss! *happy dance around the brain* And ill be famous too! Famous for… dying… how nice.
It suddenly seemed too quiet. I took a cautious look at Lily. She seemed to be red in the face but was done with her rant. I looked back and it seemed that everyone had heard her. Woops… I hope we don't kicked out for being to noisy. CAN you get kicked out? Ah well, even if you cant, I don't want to test it.
'Lily… next time could you be a teensy weensy bit quieter? They seemed annoyed at us and I do not want to be kicked out.' I made sure I whispered this so she would get the idea and whisper too.
Lily's furious gaze fell on me. I gulped.
'James. Potter. Do you not care for the wellbeing of our child? Do you not realize that he could die out in the cold? Do you not realize'
Her voice started out as a whisper but then it started to escalate. I realized it was getting a bit too loud for my liking so I cut her off.
'Lily. Whisper'
She looked at me but started to whisper again.
'And you James Potter can NOT tell me to keep quiet otherwise we may get kicked out. You hypocrite! All the stuff you and the Marauders got up to at school.' Hehe hypocrite and hypogriff sound the same. Damn it brain! Why cant you concentrate on what she was saying! She did have a point there. It was pretty rich of me to complain to her about getting kicked out when I probably should have been expelled from Hogwarts. Hah, I bet Snivellus is laughing his head off now. All the Marauders are ruined: I am dead, Sirius is in Azkaban, Peter is believed to be dead and Remus is all alone with nothing but his badly misbehaved rabbit to keep him company. But Lily… nah he can't have feelings for her can he? I mean he called her a… a… gah even I cant THINK it. How could he even SAY it? After their 6 years or MORE of friendship!
'I am sorry Lily. I am stressed out too. How about we turn in for the night and see what happens tomorrow morning. We both have had a stressful today and a good night sleep will do us both wonders.' I insisted sincerely. Haha Moony would be in shock at the moment. I am usually the one who causes stress and he fixes it up. Now I'M fixing it up. Oh wait… MOONY! He didn't know about the swap! He will think Sirius is the traitor and I am dead… Well if Padfoot clears his name up at the Ministry that will put Moony out of some of his grief. I guess I will have to check up on him tomorrow. I made a promise in my mind to check up on Moony tomorrow to see how he's coping.
'I cannot believe you are the one comforting me and stuff. Usually its Remus who is better at this stuff' Lily states
'Well there's a first time for everything' I replied, quoting a muggle saying I heard Lily talk about.
We both leant down as far as we could from the cliff, and blew harry a good night kiss. I stood up, assisted Lily to her feet and we walked back away from the cliff.
Now what? Where is the bedrooms… are there even beds up here or do we sleep under the stars? Hey that wouldn't be a bad idea. I was brought back down to earth by a familiar voice that I haven't heard from over 2 years.
'James? What on EARTH are you doing here?'
'Mum? Dad?' And my parents stepped into my view beaming at me.
I left Lily and set off towards them. I quickened my pace and they did too. Before you knew all 3 of us were running towards each other and engaged in a group hug. Once all 3 of us has resurfaced I introduced them to Lily and explained we were married, which they already knew because they had been watching from above. That thought alone filled me with warmth and happiness, and I understood why they did it. The same reason we were doing it for Harry. Love.
We hugged again, but this time Lily joined in. After separating, the next thing I knew I was slapped up the back of my head from my mum. It didn't hurt to much. It didn't hurt at all. It was more shock really.
'WHAT WAS THAT FOR?' I exclaimed rather loudly.
'For dying' she retorted cheekily.
'It was for a good reason, and it probably would have happened anyway. Because, you see…' My parents gently pulled us along and gave us a tour of the place? World? Meh whatever its called, it doesn't matter. As we walked, we talked. We talked about what my parents have been up too and what happened the day they died. And lily and I explained about the prophecy. All in all it was a nice ending to a hectic day.
AU: Yeah im not too happy with the ending for this chapter but I cant really think of what else to say… As always Review please (: It really makes my day. Like actually. The first review I got I could not stop smiling the whole day. Even if you just say: Good work on the chapter or Nice work, I would still appreciate it all the same. Now ill stop rambling on before I bore you guys to death :P
