Harry, Teddy and Severus were laughing as they ran through the Hogwarts hallways. Severus had blown of the chance of going to Hogsmead to spend his time with Teddy and Harry. Since their speech two months ago the Marauder's had not pranked anyone, except the bullies which was fair enough. Although they had stopped pranking they were still as lively and annoying as before.
Harry screeched to a halt just before he ran into Lily. Teddy ran into Harry and Severus into Teddy causing them all to tumble to the floor in a mass of limbs. "Whoa there! what are you three doing?" Lily asked laughing.
"We were trying to find you Lils," Teddy said from the floor.
"Yeah we were wondering if ya wanted to play a game of Wizarding chess with us?" Harry asked.
"How can I play it with you three?" Lily asked as she helped them up from the floor.
"Well we were each going to play with one of these two against the other pair," Severus explained.
"Oh sure," Lily agreed smiling. The four turned to go towards the Gryffindor Common Room.
"Hay hang on guys. I have a better place to go," Harry said. The others shrugged and followed Harry to the seventh floor and stood in-front of an expanse of wall. He walked back and forth three times thinking: 'we need a place to hang out without being disturbed. . . we need a place to hang out without being disturbed. . . we need a place to hang out without being disturbed' soon a door appeared. Harry smiled at the open-mouthed looks of the other three. "Come on," Harry said as he opened the door. The room had green and red beanbag the walls were blue and the carpet was black. A table was on the floor by the fireplace. It was low to the floor so people could sit down on the floor instead of a chair. On the table was a chest bored with red and green pieces.
"Wow Harry what is this place?" Lily asked.
"It's the room of requirement. Or the come and go room. You pace in-front of the wall as I did and think of what you want to room to look like. You do this three times and the door should appear," Harry replied.
"You mean it can turn into anything?" Severus asked.
"Yes Severus it could turn into a potions lab," Harry replied smiling. Severus blushed but smiled too.
"Right so whose with who?" Teddy asked.
"I tax Sev," Harry said and yanked Severus over to side with the green pieces. Lily and Teddy shrugged and sat where the red pieces were.
After four games it was a draw. They were playing the last game when the door of the room opened and Dumbledore walked in. "Argh this is where you four are," he said with a twinkle in his eyes.
"Hang on sir," Harry said as he took his turn, "Check mate," he grinned.
"How the heck did you do that?" Teddy asked.
"Trade secret," Harry replied tapping Teddy once on the forehead. Dumbledore cleared his throat and the four students jumped and turned to him with wide eyes.
"You have given several people a fright today you four," he said.
"What do you mean Proffesor?" Lily asked standing with the three boys.
"My dear it is now seven pm," Dumbledore said.
"WHAT?!" the four people yelped.
"You mean to tell us we've been in here for nine hours?" Harry asked.
"That you have my boy," Dumbledore smiled.
"Merlin no wonder my back and backside are numb," Harry mumbled.
"But how are we not hungry?" Lily asked.
"The room must have provided us food," Harry replied shrugging.
"Yes well I think it's time I took you back to your common rooms," Dumbledore said smiling.
"Yes Proffesor," the four students coursed.
As Severus walked into the portrait at the dungeons he waved to his friends and Proffesor before going to his dorm room to read.
It was only a few minutes before his door banged open and Regulus Black ran in. "Severus where have you been?" he asked.
"Out," Severus replied.
"Oh, OK. Hay guess what!" Regulus said bouncing up and down.
"What?" Severus asked.
"Me and Sirius are talking again!" Regulus said beaming. That caught Severus's attention and he put his book down to hear what his friend had to say.
"What?" he asked.
"Yeah it was weird. I was sitting by the lake when he came over to me and sat next to me. I ignored him for the most part but when he began singing our childhood song that he used to sing to me I couldn't help but look at him. He smiled at me and we went to Hogsmead together. We had fun and he called me his baby brother without looking disgusted!" Regulus said finally pausing for breath.
"Wow," was all Severus said.
"Do you think Potter JR and Lupin JR have anything to do with it?" Regulus asked.
"Maybe they made Black see that you aren't as evil that he thought you were," Severus suggested.
Regulus nodded and walked out of the room.
Back at the Gryffindor Common Room Harry, Teddy, Lily and the Marauder's were listening to the same story from Sirius. But in Sirius's point of view not Regulus's. Harry and Teddy smiled because they knew that changes had already started. Soon they would need to make a decision however. About what to do when it came to the time Lily Evans and James Potter had to die to save Harry. What where they going to do to change that?
