A couple of hours went by and James still had the necklace on. Now they were stationed in Sirius Estate.
"So what's the next one we have to get?" The younger Sirius asked.
"I'm not sure, but I have a huge feeling that it's at Hogwarts," Harry said.
"That's great," James rolled his eyes.
Harry looked at him and then looked away. He knew something was going on with James, "I am positive that it's at Hogwarts."
"Where?" The older Sirius asked.
"The Room of Requirement," Harry smiled.
"That's great," The older Sirius rolled his eyes. "Can we have a more specific room within the Room of Requirement?"
"The room where you hide things," Harry replied. "I remember seeing a crown, a diadem, there. It looked a lot like a crown that I saw a portrait of Hufflepuff wearing."
The older Lupin looked at him with a quizzical expression, "Are you saying that you think that the diadem that went missing is in that room and is a horcruxe?"
"That is exactly what I'm saying," Harry smiled.
"And if you're wrong?" James asked crossing his arms. "Do you just except us to break into Hogwarts, walk into the room, and hope that it's a horcruxe?"
You could tell that James was getting on Harry's nerves, "No. You don't have to go. You can stay here while I try to save your butt. You don't have to go anywhere."
"Whoa, Prongslet, calm down," the older Sirius stood in front of him.
"No, he's being stupid," Harry said.
"Me? I'm the one being stupid?" James asked standing only feet from Harry. "I'm not the one trying to change the past. I'm not the one being selfish."
"I'm only changing the past for the better and I'm not selfish," Harry almost yelled.
"Prongslet, calm down. He doesn't mean that," The older Sirius said.
"For the better?" James asked. "I bet that you could have destroyed all these horcruxes in your time. You only came back because you wanted your parents back."
Harry stared at him, "You have no idea what I went through. You have no idea the pressure I'm under."
"You're right, I don't," James agreed. "And I don't really care at this moment."
"Well you should," Harry was on the urge of blowing something up. "I'm trying to save you."
"So you can have a family," James yelled.
"Even if I do save you, I'm not going to grow up with you," Harry pointed out. "I'm still going to have the same childhood."
"Then what's the point of saving us?" James yelled.
Harry didn't even take a second to think, "Maybe I missed you. Maybe I am doing this for myself. But I'm also doing it for Padfoot and Moony. Even though their lives won't change much. Padfoot is still going to Azkaban and Moony is still going to do whatever he did."
"Well, then what's the point? If you're still going to have the same childhood, Padfoot and Moony are never going to see me?" James asked. "Did you even think this through?"
The older Sirius' mouth dropped open, "Prongs, you're being the biggest jerk to your son."
"My son?" James asked. "How is he my son? He's around you all the time."
"So?" Harry asked. "I have a better relationship with him."
"I can see that," James rolled his eyes.
The older Sirius smiled, "Are you jealous of Harry and I?"
"Me? Jealous?" James asked. "How am I jealous? From what I see he's a horrible kid! Coming back into the past. That could mess a lot of things up."
Sirius couldn't hold back. He turned and punched James, square in the face, "What the hell is your problem? You're acting so much like Voldemort and that's not something Harry needs at this moment."
With that the older Sirius and Harry left.
Lupin bent down over James, "Yeah, you are acting like Voldemort so could I get the necklace back, please?"
"Go away!" James pushed Lupin away.
Lupin grabbed the chain and the necklace ripped off and in it's place was a mark from the necklace and walked out leaving the younger Sirius and Lupin with their mouths on the ground, speechless.
Lupin found Sirius and Harry at the Quidditch pitch flying around. They both had beater bats and were hitting a bludger back and forth with so much force that if you got hit with one it would go through you like a knife goes through melted butter. Lupin made sure to stay clear of the beaters and sat in the stands waiting for them to calm down. Lupin noticed that they weren't talking, they were just hitting the bludger back and forth.
An owl came and landed on his shoulder, it was from Lily. It had the Daily Prophet attached. Lupin's eyes almost came out of his head. He bolted up. He read it on his own afraid to disturb Sirius and Harry. He read. It said that there had been more then twenty killings over a fortnight. Reporters knew that it was the work of Voldemort but that they don't have any leads about where he was. Lupin sighed, "This isn't good." He read further and it brought up the break in at Gringotts and if they could be connected. Lupin sighed again, "So Voldemort has noticed."
"Noticed what?"
Lupin jumped and turned to see Sirius, who had a bludger under his arm, and Harry standing there, "What has Voldemort noticed?" Harry asked again.
"Nothing-" Lupin replied and noticed what Sirius was holding. "Sirius is that James' face on that bludger?"
Sirius smiled, "Yeah. He was pissing us off and I already punched him."
"It wasn't his fault," Lupin assured. "He was under the influence of the horcruxe."
"He spoke his mind," Sirius said. "You know what he said was true."
"Well then you're just going to have to talk to him," Lupin half smiled.
"What's in the paper?" Harry asked.
"Voldemort noticed," Lupin said holding out the paper. "He already killed twenty muggles."
Harry sighed, "We should lay low for awhile then."
"We only have till October," Sirius reminded.
"And we can't break into Hogwarts until September," Harry said. "We still have all of August."
"Which is only a couple of days away," Lupin cut in before Sirius could reply. "And we still have Baby Harry's first birthday coming up. We should go inform the others inside."
"Have fun," Sirius said as he and Harry started walking away.
Lupin caught them by their cloak, "Padfoot, he's your best friend and Harry's he's your father. You can't ignore him for the rest of your life."
"He was being a jerk," Sirius almost yelled. "I'm not going to say that I felt bad about hitting him, cause I don't. He deserved it."
"I understand that," Lupin sympathized. "But you have to get over the fact that he wants a relationship with his son. And Harry you should be a little nicer. Do you understand?"
Harry and Sirius both crossed their arms, "Fine."
"That's all I ask," Lupin smiled and led the way to the house.
James and the younger Lupin and Sirius were in the sitting room still. They were talking under their breath.
"You're stupid, Prongs," The younger Sirius yelled. "I understand your point of view but you're being stupid. Why haven't you talked to him?"
"Because-" James stopped at he sight of Harry and the older Sirius and Lupin.
"We need to lay low for awhile," Harry straight out said. "Voldemort's active again and we're not sure what he's thinking."
"We have Baby Prongslet's birthday coming up," The older Sirius started not meeting James' eyes. "We can't break into Hogwarts until September anyways. A month should calm everything down and then we'll worry about Baby Harry."
"Any questions?" Harry asked impatient. He waited a second. "Well that takes care of that. Uncle Padfoot and I are leaving. Bye."
With that Harry and the older Sirius apparated away without another glance.
"They're mad," James sighed.
"No," The older Lupin smiled. James smiled a bit. "They're pissed."
The smile got wiped off James' face so quick that no one saw it. He got up and left the sitting room, the younger Sirius following him.
"Kinda weird," The younger Lupin noted out loud. "Padfoot always goes with Prongs and the other Padfoot always goes with Prongslet. Has anyone found that kind of strange?"
"At this moment Harry and James are both acting stupid," The older Lupin said. "They will come around."
"You sure?" The younger Lupin asked with a little bit of sadness in his voice.
"No," The older Lupin said.
