"Guess your never giving up strategy about Lily finally paid off Prongs." That was the first thing anybody said after the long moment of silence. "Can I be godfather?" All this was spoken by Sirius Black, Padfoot, wanna be godfather, whatever you wanted to call him.
James didn't respond, neither did Lily.
"I'll take the awkward silence as a Sirius you were our first choice, there's no one we'd rather have as godfather."
"Guess I end up taking your advice mum," Lily finally squeaked out, she was still in shock that she'd end up married to the moronic, arrogant, toe-head, bully prick, "And NO you can't be the godfather, I'd rather have a death eater as godfather than you!" She fully came to her senses and realized what Sirius just said, "You'd definitely be the very last choice."
"Evans, you wound me with your words, it shall always be a wound that shall never heal."
"Who the melodramatic one now?"
"Shut up, Prongs."
"Okay, okay. Just because we know that Harry is related to us it doesn't mean that they aren't death eaters." Mr. Potter wasn't that ready to believe.
"Uhh, dad Weasley, Potter. Since when have they been death eaters or even believe in the same stuff they do? Plus they look like they're underage"
"Hey, so do you!" exclaimed Ron
"You never know, people aren't always like their families, just look at Sirius."
"Good point."
"Wait, maybe Good Ol' Voldy ain't around in that time."
"What's with the weird voice Prongs?"
"Isn't it obvious Moony, Ol' chum, it fit, for the smart one you sure are stupid."
"That could happen, is Voldemort…" Peter, Hermione and Ron flinched.
"What Ron, Hermione it's just a name. How are you scared of his name but not afraid at all when we all faced him last June? As for you Pettigrew why are you sacred of your master's name or is it that you didn't join yet."
"What!" said anybody that could understand a bit about the magical world that didn't already know."
"Evans, pass the Vertiserum." For once in her life she actually listened to James and Sirius without arguing.
"Moony, you hold him down. Padfoot, you make sure his mouth is open. Dad, can you silence him? Now!," Peter was definitely no match for James, Sirius, Remus and Mr. Potter combined, they had… well James had force fed the potion to him in virtually no time. "Now, ex-best friend-"
"I thought I was your best friend."
"For once in your life Padfoot, be serious."
"I am serious, you know why?"
"Oh, oh, I know this one. It's because-"
"Can it Pettigrew, you're ruining my punch line. Anyway it's because I'm Sirius Orion Black, everything I say, breath, eat and do is serious."
"Now, are you a death eater?"
"Not yet."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I'm considering it." He said quietly
"Why?"
"I've never been better at something than anybody else, never had power. If I joined up I could." Everybody was too shocked to say anything after this until Sirius started yelling.
"What, I shared a dorm with a death eater for five years, I'm shocked."
"How many times have we do tell you, SHUT UP!" Not many people had ever seen Remus like that but the few that lived to tell the tale know to listen to what he's saying or fear permanent damage
"Somebody's angry." Sirius said but he shut up anyway. He still had nightmares about what Remus last did. Ughh, he shuddered at the thought, not pretty.
"Hey dad, can you do an unbreakable vow."
"Sure, I can do a real swell in a jiffy"
"Dad, who actually says "jiffy" or "swell"?"
"Hey, how come you aren't yelling at him to shut up Moony," before Remus could answer his sudden outburst Sirius continued "You hate me, don't you, you and Jamie."
"Don't call me Jamie!" James yelled but Sirius ignored him
"You two came up with a conspiracy against me! Is everyone I know against me!"
"Padfoot, I didn't know you knew big words like conspiracy. Moony look, our little Padfoot is growing up!"
"I know James, I never thought I'd live to see the day! I need a photo, somebody pinch me!"
"Gladly," Sirius muttered "What is this, make fun of Padfoot day?" he said exasperated.
"No, that's on-"
"SHUT UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Is that normal?" Sirius muttered.
"Shut it, Lily said to shut up."
"No, that definitely isn't normal, Moony two galleons that she has him under the Imperious curse."
"Knowing Lily she wouldn't do anything illegal, you're on. Besides, I think it's Amortenia."
"English."
"The most powerful love potion in the world."
"But how are we going to get her to reveal it?
"I have an idea but we're going to need a lot of things."
"Like what?"
"You realize I can hear everything, ever heard of a little thing called whispering? Now can we get back to the questioning"
"Who cares about a bunch of freaks?"
"Come up with a new insult Petunia, that one really gets old fast"
"It's not an insult, it's the truth that's what you are, you and all these other freaks, those four idiots, his parents, and that Snape boy!"
"Three things: A) did she just call us freaks? B) Snape, as in Snivellus Snape!? And C) is insulting us an Evans family thing?" No one paid attention to Sirius, they were so into Lily and Petunia's fighting. Sure they fought before but none of them like this… make that fighting at all. Sirius who was used to raised voices could ignore them.
"Shouldn't we be under questioning or something?" Harry muttered
"I dunno, go with." Ron, who was right behind him, said.
"Harry, wait. Maybe they'll forget long enough that the Vertiserum can wear off and then we won't have to tell them the terrible truth about their futures." Said Hermione
"Good plan, I wondered when you'd come up with one."
No body noticed, make that almost nobody, this conversation. Sirius was bored with the argument so he was looking around. He noticed that the Evans' was small in comparison to all the other houses he'd seen, no it was just small. The view was worth it though. For some odd reason it seemed familiar, really familiar when he realized that he had seen it from James' house last summer. They were neighbors and James had never noticed, crazy. He had also heard everything they said which gave him an idea.
"Am I your godfather?" They all stared at him like he was insane.
"For a second I thought you had sense."
"Yeah, you are."
"Yes!"
"I probably lost all sense I used to have to let you be godfather."
"Aren't they supposed to be under questioning?" Mr. Potter asked
Lily looked at her watch "Not anymore, the Vertiserum just wore off."
"Great, what about Peter?"
"Oh yeah, unbreakable vow. While we're remembering things do you remember the bet?" James couldn't wait to see them do it.
"What bet?" It seemed like he couldn't remember, but Sirius could remember full well. Years of trying not to get detention really makes you a better liar.
"Does "Prongs the day Evans says yes, me, Moony and Wormtail will shave off every single hair on our head, dye our eyebrows neon pink, paint our face to look like somebody that's in the army and keep it that way for 365 days," ring a bell?"
"Oh yeah, I was hoping you'd forget."
"Now."
"We can't use magic."
"Since when did you care about the rules."
"Since ever."
"Fine on the train, first day of term."
"Um James, Sirius unbreakable vow remember."
"Fine." They both agreed, but before they could do anything there was a flash of light, similar to the one that was there when Hermione, Ginny, Harry and Ron came.
Five people came out and after a look around four of them said "I blame you James."
