James walked dejectedly up to the Common Room. Upon entering, he saw Harry sitting on the floor staring into the fire. On instinct alone, James rushed over to his future son and hugged him. "I'm sorry for everything mean I've ever done to you this year." he whispered.

Harry stiffened. "Why are you being so nice to me?"

James smiled. "Do you play Quidditch?" Harry nodded slowly, "MY SON!" James shouted joyously before pulling Harry in for another long hug.

"Son?" Harry whispered.

"Oh, I know your secret. I know that you and your friends are from the future." he replied casually.

"Really? So, you're not mad, upset or angry at us?"

James shook his head. "How can I be mad at my only son? Let's go play Quidditch!" and with that, James dragged Harry out of the Common Room, passing a confused Remus, a smirking Sirius, three happy females, and a Ron.

They all followed the Two boys out to the Quidditch Pitch and created two cheering teams. Remus, Lily and Sirius were James' supporters, whilst Ron, Hermione and Ginny were Harry's.

"Right, first one to catch the Snitch wins!" James announced, throwing Harry a broom. They both mounted and zoomed off.

"Go go Harry! If you can't do it no one can!" Hermione and Ginny chanted. Sirius saw this and decided to copy their actions.

"Come on James! You're the man, you're the best, you can beat the rest!" He and Remus chanted badly. They kept this up the entire game until Hermione and Ginny changed chants.

"Give us an H, give us an A, give us an RRY! H-A-R-R-Y, what does it spell? HARRY!"

Sirius and Remus once again copied their chants. "Give us a J. Give us an A, give us an MES! J-A-M-E-S!" What does it spell? James!" Giggling, Lily conjured two pairs of bright pink pom poms and handed them to the boys, telling them to wave them as they chant.

Finally, Harry caught the Snitch and both boys descended to a cheering Remus and Sirius, while the girls and Ron were laughing hysterically. As they got nearer, Harry saw what they were laughing at. The sight of Sirius and Remus waving pom poms and chanting was too much for Harry, who had burst into huge bouts of laughter.

"Why are you laughing?" James asked confusedly.

"Sirius and Remus!" Harry gasped, doubled over in laughter.

Sirius and Remus realised that everyone was laughing at them. "Why are you laughing at us?" Remus demanded.

Hermione looked at his pout and burst into raucous laughter.

Lily took a deep breath to compose herself. "You see...the chanting and arm movements are from a muggle sport...Cheerleading."

"So?" Sirius prompted.

"Um...Cheerleading is mainly a sport for girls in miniskirts who have rhythm. Suffice to say, you don't tick those boxes."

Sirius looked aghast. "A-a-a girl sport? Remus! They're trying to turn us into girls!"

Ginny and Ron shared a look worthy of the twins, before flicking their wands surreptitiously.

"I'll have you know I'm a VERY manly man!"

"I'm sure you are, Sirius." Ginny said coolly. Linking her arms with Harry and Lily, everyone began to walk to their next lesson - Transfiguration.

James and Remus stared at Sirius.

"Yeah, you look manly..." Remus choked out before sprinting after the larger group. James conjured a mirror and ran after Remus...Sirius' scream following them into the castle.

Sirius stormed into their Transfiguration lesson angrily. He was still wearing the pink miniskirt, and tank top, had the added addition of breasts and pink frilly bows in his hair.

"WHO DID THIS?" he roared angrily.

"Mr Black, control your temper-What ARE you wearing!" Professor McGonagal backtracked.

"One of them did this!" He cried, pointing dramatically at his seven friends. They all looked up with innocent looks on their faces. Professor McGonagal waved her wand and vanished all of the enchantments. "Good craftsmanship to whoever did this." she acknowledged.

Ginny leaned over to Ron, "Thank god, George developed the essence of innocence."

"Right, today we will be learning about human transfiguration. We will be focussing on sprouting wings for the next few lessons. The incantation is Avifors wings. Focus on the type of wings you want and imagine it growing in every detail on your back."

Everyone stood up and began to say the enchantment. James and Sirius sat there chatting, as though this was too simple for them. Meanwhile, Ron was coaching Harry and Ginny on their wand movements.

"Do you know how weird this feels?" Harry said conversationally. "I'm being taught by Ron of all people. Who'd have thought?"

Ron smirked. "Not my fault I pay attention in tranfiguration."

Hermione snorted. "You have never paid attention in Transfiguration. You're just lucky you got the twins to teach you."

Finally the lesson ended, and the four time travellers ran out of the room much to the disappointment of James and Remus in particular. Shrugging, the three remaining boys made their way to lunch slowly.

"So, Moony?" Sirius began. Remus raised an eyebrow. "It's almost time for the Valentine's Day ball. Got anyone special in mind?" he continued 'subtly'...

"Smooth Padfoot, real smooth." James said good naturedly.

Remus rubbed a hand over his eyes tiredly. "I don't know, I really want to ask Hermione to be my valentine, but I can't."

"Why not!" Sirius demanded.

"My condition, I'm scared she'll hate me."

Sirius and James shared a 'Remus-is-having-another-moment' look. "Mate, she likes you. you never know, maybe she would accept your furry little problem." James said smirking slightly.

Remus snorted. "Yeah, a girl like Hermione's just going to fall in love with me AND accept my pproblem." he replied sarcastically.

Sirius sighed. "If you don't aske her to Hogsmeade, someone else will."

Remus ignored him.
