August past without any grief. Nothing new or interesting changed in the wizardry world Harry was in. The past was still the past. Harry and the other Sirius and Lupin were limited to do things. They weren't allowed to go in the public eye or blow anything up which they broke. The older Sirius and Harry along with the other Sirius, James and younger Lupin went into the public eye and tried to go stealth. The muggle cops were called but they got out in time. Lily had sentenced them to two weeks in house probation. That was boring. Lily also had to separate the younger and older Sirius' because they got into a fight about who got to sit with Harry at dinner. They each had to sit facing a wall for an hour, which still didn't work. Lily walked back in and saw them rolling on the floor. The younger Sirius finally gave up and took James' spot next to Harry at the table. Everyone was happy, except for James. The older Lupin had finally hung up his jacket. He was finally more like his younger self which put even more strain on Lily who was trying to keep them sane and out of trouble.

September snuck up on them. It came sooner then everyone thought. There was still a lot to do and it felt like they were running out of time. The pressure was on and everyone felt it.

"If this is what it feels like and it's only September then I don't want October to come," Harry held his stomach. "I feel like my stomach is turning inside out."

Harry and the guys were laying on the grass on the quidditch field at the Sirius Estate looking up at the sky.

The older Sirius was next to him, "So breaking into Hogwarts are we?"

Harry sighed, "This is going to be hard but fun."

"We should do it soon," James said. "We should also plan out the next month."

Harry sat up, "This is what we're going to do. We are going to need to make some polyjuice potion to make the two Death Eaters look like James and Lily."

"Death Eaters?" James asked. "No one told me about Death Eaters."

"Yeah, we're going to kidnap them," Harry smiled.

"How?" The younger Lupin asked.

"Creatively," Harry smiled once again. "Anyways, we need to get ingredients for the potion and who's the one person that we all know will have them?"

"Snivellus?" The younger Lupin said without a smile.

James and the younger Sirius looked at each other, "Looks like we get to pay a visit to our best friend!"

"Look," Harry said seriously, "we have got to do this right. This is Hogwarts we're talking about. We can't get caught and if we do then I'm blaming you two."

"Us?" James asked pointing to him and younger Sirius. "Us? What about you two?" James pointed to Harry and the older Sirius.

Harry ignored him, "We have to spilt up. One group has got to go sneak into Snivellus' office and get the ingredients. The other group, which has me in it, will go and get the diadem. Moony," Harry turned to the younger Lupin, "do you think you could distract Dumbledore? He's the only person in the whole school that won't be in class."

The younger Lupin looked at him, "What am I going to say? He's Dumbledore. You can't just have a conversation with him."

"Yes, you can," Harry replied. "Trust me."

"How are we about to do this?" James asked.

Harry smiled, "Well I've been thinking about that. We will have to do it during classes. It's the only time that someone won't accidentally see us."

"But Snivellus?" James asked. "Padfoot and I can't get the ingredients if he's in class."

Harry sighed, "I know. We are going to need to take both invisibility cloaks. Prongs, you and Padfoot will have to hide under one and when you see a chance to take the ingredients then do it but be sly about it. Then Padfoot, Moony and I will go up to the Room of Requirement and take the diadem. I suspect that we will be done by lunch so meet right outside the Great Hall. Not inside but outside the doors." Harry looked at the younger Sirius. "Do you understand?"

"I know what outside the doors mean, Prongslet," The younger Sirius replied. "I'm not stupid."

Harry just looked him with a 'are you serious' look, "Anyways, do we understand?"

Everyone nodded their heads. "No one tell Lily. She didn't like it when we broke into Gringotts and I highly assume that she'll lock us up when she finds out we're going to break into Hogwarts."

"How are we going to get in Hogwarts?" James asked. "It's locked between hours."

"Is it?" Harry asked.

"Yeah," James smiled, "Padfoot and I snuck out and we couldn't get back in."

Harry took a breath, "Well that isn't good. We're going to have to wait to sneak in when the doors get opened."

"Which is good," The older Lupin said. "We can't work until the students and staff are in their classrooms. We can't be seen."

"Which is why we're bringing the invisibility cloak," Harry pointed out.

"That cloud looks like a boat," The younger Sirius said randomly looking up at the sky.

Everyone looked at him. He smiled and laughed, "Sorry, but it does. I want a pirate ship."

"Where are you planning on putting it?" Harry asked.

"In my private lake," The younger Sirius sighed.

"Do you have a private lake?" Harry asked looking at James who shrugged his shoulders.

"Not yet," The younger Sirius was still looking at the clouds. "I have enough land. I could build one."

Harry shook his head, "Well, you have fun building a private lake. Tell me how it goes."

"Anyways," The older Lupin said changing the subject. "School starts tomorrow. We should wait awhile."

"No," Harry disagreed. "The longer we wait, the less time we have to make the polyjuice potion and that takes the longest. We still have to get Death Eaters. We should go as soon as possible."

"I say we go tomorrow," The younger Sirius sat up. "Think about it. School just started. Students aren't going to be paying attention to their surroundings."

"Yeah the first and seconds years," James said. "Everyone else doesn't care if they get caught out of class and the seventh years will be late just because. Harry's right we need to be sly."

Harry smiled mischievously, "Sly indeed." k

James thought for a moment, "Not to interrupt anyone's thoughts but-uh-you never explained how we died. We are under the secret keeper code." It looked like James finally put the pieces together and from the looks on it so did the younger Sirius and Lupin. "Oh." Was the only thing James said.

The tension in the circle was unbearable. Harry felt as though he should say something but was at a loss for words.

"This is your fault," James pointed at the younger Sirius. "I told you that you should be secret keeper but no."

The younger Sirius' mouth dropped open and he held his hands up in defense, "Me? What are you talking about?"

"Hey!" Harry yelled. "Not to go blaming people but really it's Snape's fault so I'd stop if I were you."

"Snape?" James said surprised. "What how?"

"Yes, Prongslet, how?" The older Sirius turned to his godson. "I haven't heard this story before."

Harry looked away from everyone, "Well I'm not entirely sure but it's something I've been thinking about since Snape killed Dumbledore."

"Dumbledore died?" The younger Lupin asked shocked. "I thought he'd live forever."

"Snape killed him?" James asked in disbelief.

"I always knew Snape was evil," The younger Sirius shrugged his shoulders. "It was only a matter of time."

Harry sighed and looked at James, "This is why I don't want to explain everything until I make sure you are safe. I can't mess up the future."

"Maybe we should call it a night," The older Lupin said getting up off the ground.

"I agree," The younger Sirius sat up. "My clouds are almost gone."

Everyone just looked at him, "You know, I forgot how big of a retard I was." The older Sirius said laughing a bit.
