Watchers

DISCLAIMER: I don't own any of this stuff... It's all from J.K. Rowling's mind. :)

The group returned. Lily wasn't crying, but she felt terrible. She didn't want to watch Harry die.

"We aren't watching, are we?" Lily asked.

"No... or at least not me." Sirius said.

"Never would I want to watch Harry die!" Lupin said as Tonks and Snape reappeared in the group.

"LUPIN? TONKS? SIRIUS? PROFESSOR SNAPE!" Fred Weasley appeared.

"Fred!" Tonks squealed. "You're so young though-"

"Professor? I'm dead!" Snape snapped.

"Fred? How terrible! How is George? Where is he?" Sirius asked.

"He's alive-" Fred looked around. "I assume I'm dead, then?"

"Yeah... pretty much..." Sirius said.

"So you're Harry's dad?" Fred asked James. "You look like him." They shook hands.

"I'm Lily, Harry's mom," Lily shook his hand.

"So we're watchers? It's not a myth?" Fred looked around.

"Nope. It's the real deal," Sirius said.

"My little brother is Harry's best friend, his name is-"

"Ron. We know. We've been watching." James said.

"Then you know Harry's been snogging my sister, as well." Lily laughed. Sirius smiled. Just then they heard a scream.

"Ginny?" Fred said alarmed. More screams followed. "Ron? Hermione! I know that one is Hermione's scream!"

"Harry just died." Snape said.

"WHAT?" Fred yelled.

"It's okay. It's supposed to happen. He's just faking." Tonks said.

"Faking? Hopefully he's a better liar then you, Prongs." Lupin laughed.

"PRONGS? MOONY? WORMTAIL? PADFOOT?" Fred yelled. "My brother and I WORSHIPED you're map! We gave it to Harry!"

"Harry has our map?" James asked.

"I gave it to him to get him into Hogsmeade. He blew up his aunt so his uncle wouldn't sign it." Fred said.

"He blew up Petunia?" Lily said as Snape laughed.

"No... Marge or something. His Aunt and Uncle were horrid to him, I expect you've seen?" Fred said.

"No, we can't see the Muggle world." James said.

"What did they do?" Lily asked.

"Locked him up in the second year. George, Ron and I used a flying car to get him out." Fred explained. "George and I are real practical jokers. We owned a shop... Harry gave us the money to start it. His Triwizard winnings. You watched that, right?"

"I wondered what he did with his winnings." Sirius said.

"So I expect Sirius is Padfoot... for your animagus?" Fred said. "Lupin is Moony, werewolves, moon... duh! Prongs is Mr. Potter." Lupin and Sirius laughed.

"Call me James."

"James is Prongs... gosh Harry's own Dad! He never even told us!"

"I don't think he knew..." James said.

"He did. We told him in his third year in the Shrieking Shack." Lupin said.

"So Wormtail is... Snape?" Fred guessed as James, Lupin and Sirius burst out laughing.

"Snape could never be a Marauder!" Sirius explained. "We had... differences..." He said, looking at Snape's frown.

"Peter Pettigrew was wormtail. Turned out to be a big arse if you asked me," Lupin said.

"Harry never really tolerated our jokes... but his own DAD was Prongs!" Fred kept repeating, shocked.

"He couldn't tolerate jokes?" Sirius said, disappointed. "I wonder where he got that..." He looked at Lily.

"Well at least he didn't break a rule every day," Lily said.

"He did," Snape said. "He would break into my office and steal potion ingredients and he would go to forbidden places. It was quite a challenge to watch over him."

"I did take the map away from him in the third year," Lupin said as James and Sirius stared at him. "I gave it back, though!"

I'll write some more tomorrow. I hope you like this chapter! Please review! I would love to hear comments & ideas. :)
