Watchers

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

Holidays

All the children were back from school and all staying at 12 Grimmauld place. Teddy, Victoire, Ron, Hermione and George were all visiting. Before they entered, Rose pulled James aside.

"Don't say a thing." She warned.

"Oh, he will." Sirius assured her.

"Yeah. I bet he will!" James agreed.

"I don't think so..." Tonks said.

"Let's make a bet! Me and Sirius against Tonks."

"But then I lose money!" Tonks frowned.

"No worries, Dora. I'll be on your side." Remus smiled at her.

"One galleon per person!" Sirius said.

"I can't believe you guys are actually betting on this." Lily rolled her eyes.

"I won't, don't worry." James grinned.

"I will tell if you let anything slip." Rose glared at him.

"I really don't care." James said, going to meet the family.

"Oh man." Tonks frowned.

"Uncle Ron! Uncle Hermione! Teddy! Vic!" James yelled, hugging each one in turn. Harry and Ginny had picked them all up.

"What about me?" George frowned.

"Hi there. I don't think I can trust you after last time." James glared at him as George started to laugh.

"What happened?" Tonks asked.

"George gave James some candy that silenced him for four whole days." Fred explained.

"Ah, yes. I remember that." Sirius grinned.

"Oh yeah... sorry about that one." George said.

"So what's going on with you guys?" Teddy asked.

"Nothing much." Lily hugged everyone.

"So... Dad?" Al asked.

"What?" Harry looked confused.

"Animagi?" James reminded.

"Oh! Yeah. I think it is a great idea, especially that you aren't doing it illegally."

"Pfft... Harry." James complained.

"I'm glad he has some sense." Snape said.

"Shut it, Sevvy."

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Snape bellowed.

"Gosh... sorry Snivaly." Sirius laughed.

"Guys. Please. I wouldn't let my kids do it if it was illegal." Lily said.

"So, we gonna have nick names?" James asked.

"Of coarse!" The three marauders chorused.

"We will figure those out after we made some progress." Teddy said.

"Anyways. Dinner?" Ginny motioned towards the table.

"Mmm... food." Sirius said.

"We can't eat." Lily pointed out.

"Yes!" Hugo, Al, and James said.

"Ok, ok." George motioned for James to sit next to him, and James did.

"Ohhh... he has a plan!" Fred smiled.

"I wonder...?" Lily looked thoughtful.

"Alright. Dig in!" Hermione said. James took a sip of his water. George started to laugh.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY SONS WATER?" Ginny screamed.

"It's okay, Gin. It can't be anything dangerous." Harry said.

"I wonder what it is." Remus said.

"What is it?" Al asked.

"Talky Water! Take a sip and you will say everything on your mind!"

"Oh shit." Sirius said.

"Rose is probably thinking the same thing." James laughed.

"It's not funny! Those things are private!" Lily scolded.

"Well, he already does, so it's pointless on him." Rose rolled her eyes, trying to hide her worries.

"Not everything, Rosie. I prefer to keep some things private like my relationship with Alina." James said, fast.

The whole group burst out laughing.

"Oh, this will be good." James grinned.

"Ohhh, who is she?" Victoire asked, while the table laughed.

"She's a red head Gryffindor who plays chaser. She is quite good. She is also really good at Charms. She helps me because I was failing at one point." James took a deep breath.

"Oh my god, he is in for it." Sirius laughed.

"Why?" Tonks asked.

"Ginny!" Fred said.

"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER!" Ginny yelled.

"Calm down, I want to hear what he has to say." Harry told her. The rest of the table was laughing.

"Oh and Rose, you must know all about secrets. I mean your relationship, ooohhh... big secret. I know you told me that I should tell or you would tell about my secret but obviously everything is just coming out. Ya know?"

"Oh gosh, poor Rose." Lily watched.

"This will be good- let's see what Ron has to say." Sirius grinned.

"JAMES?" Rose screeched.

"Secret?" Teddy and Ron asked with raised eyebrows.

"Oh yes. She has a boyfriend. He isn't in Gryffindor though, No! No! No! He is not a Ravenclaw either."

"Nothing is wrong with Hufflepuffs." Hermione said.

"Oh, he isn't a Hufflepuff either," James informed the table.

"Here it comes..." James rubbed his hands together with anticipation.

"WHAT? YOU ARE DATING A SLYTHERIN?" Ron yelled. George looked shocked.

"Shush Ron! Let James keep talking." Hermione slapped him.

"Yes yes! Weird name he has... um what was it? Scorpios Malfoy."

"WHATTTT?" The whole table yelled. Rose got up and ran from the room.

"Poor girl." Lily looked sympathetic.

"But she is dating a Slytherin."

"NOTHING IS WRONG WITH SLYTHERINS!" Snape yelled.

"Oh no. Now she is sad. Maybe she'll tell my secret about shagging those girls in the broom closet... oh wait. I think I just said it. I am screwed..." James said.

"Got that right." James said.

"Run, boy! Run!" Remus advised.

"JAMES SIRIUS POTTER IS THIS HOW YOU HAVE BEEN SPENDING YOUR TIME AT HOGWARTS? THOSE POOR GIRLS!" Ginny yelled for what seemed like forever, and it sure was long enough for James's potion to ware off.

"GEORGE, I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!" He shouted. "Nothing I said was true- well I assume because I don't remember anything I said- hey were did Rose go?"

"Not gonna work, Pup!" Sirius shook his head.

"Nice try. But don't worry, I'm not mad at you." Harry said. "Blame goes to your namesakes."

"Hey!" James and Sirius pouted as the others laughed.

"So your dating a red head?" Teddy asked. James just grinned, his cheeks red.

"The Potter Tradition continues."

"YES!" James yelled.

"I best go get Rose. She'll be pretty mad right now..." James got up and ran upstairs. "ROSE?"

"Go. Away."

"It's me! James!"

"GO. AWAY."

"The potion wore off."

"Yeah I heard the yelling. Now please- GO AWAY."

"Why?"

"I'm writing to Scorp. Please leave." Rose said from behind the door.

"And...?"

"I'm inviting him over to meet my dear parents."
