Harry found Hermione and Ron waiting for him at the foot of Dumbledore's office stairway.

They walked slowly through the corridors, careful not to make too much noise as they went to the Gryffindor room. Hermione then spoke up, "So those are your parents Harry?" Harry nodded and Ron motioned for Hermione to keep quiet.

They finally got up to the Gryffindor common room. "Hippogriff!" Harry said.

The Fat Lady looked at him suspiciously and cried, "You look a lot like James Potter! What's your name?" Before he answered, Harry flung himself into common room. It didn't look any different, and 'it sorta felt like home' thought Harry.

Hermione bid the boys goodnight because it was well past midnight.

Ron spoke up after about thirty long minutes of staring silently into the dying, ashy fire. "Hey mate, I think we should go to bed. We're gonna have a long day tomorrow. What room are we in anyways?"

Harry looked at him and said "I'm in room 506 and you're in room 507." Ron nodded and they both got up to climb the stairs to their rooms. They walked closer and closer to the rooms.

"Did you see how much that kid looked like Prongs! It was crazy, like double vision with Lily's eyes! SO bizarre."

"I know it was like staring at me with small mistakes, I mean we were even the exact same height!" Harry heard his dad and his friends talking about coming across him, they were still up. Great.

He bid goodnight to Ron, breathed in deeply and walked into their room. The marauders stared at him strangely as to say what-are-you-doing-in-our-room-this-room-is-ours.

Harry explained hastily "Erm… Professor Dumbledore... uh said he wanted me to…um stay in here." They all seemed to accept that but Remus and James didn't look to happy about it. Harry knew why Lupin didn't but why not his own father, 'I mean yeah James didn't know it was his only son he was staring at but he could be nicer to other people in general.' He thought. Harry jumped into the only free bed in the room, pulled the covers over him tightly and tried to get to sleep.

The next morning brought on more trouble… and questions. Lily came in early the next morning to tell James her schedule for this Saturday morning and to kiss him passionately. "James, I'm going down to breakfast at seven with or without you. Mind you we are supposed to show the first years how to get to the Great Hall though. Remus you could help with that too."

She leapt on James' bed. He sat up and gave her a hug. "I'll be ready in a minute." He said and gave Lily a kiss.

"Ug… guys you've only been going out for what a month, and that's been sending letters? You've seen each other for all of one day we've been back and you're already snogging everywhere!" Sirius said jokingly about the last bit.

James, Lily, Remus, and Peter left early. Soon the only two left in the room were Harry and Sirius.

"I know you're awake, you can stop trying to kid me. It won't ever work; I would remember that if I were you. By the way my name's Sirius, Sirius Black… And you are?"

Harry got up and said, "My name's Harry, Harry Pot- Potford." He saved, almost saying "Potter" to his dad's best friend.

Sirius nodded and said, "Well, the boy you look a bit like, his name is James Potter, and the girl, the red-head, her name's Lily Evans. The really pale kid with slick brownish hair name's Remus Lupin, but we call him Moony. The boy that looks like a mouse name's Peter Pettigrew and we call him Wormtail. James is Prongs and I'm Padfoot but don't call us by those names. Those are our nicknames for each other, kind of private you know?"

Harry nodded to Sirius and grabbed his glasses. He stood up and Sirius said, "Well good luck with your first day mate." Harry smiled.

"Damn you even have the same smile as James; you guys have to be related." Harry was trying not to laugh, so he just shrugged as best he could without bursting out laughing.

A school owl brought him his schedule as well as everyone else's. James had his own tawny brown owl, a very attractive owl. His first class of the year was defense against the dark arts with Professor Brudge. He also had double potions with Slughorn and transfiguration with McGonagall today. Then James groaned, "Damn it, I got dark arts shit today, and first too."

Lily laughed and said, "That's what I have too."

Ron and Hermione came in then. They had their classes. Both had defense against the dark arts and potions with him. "So, how was bunking with your dad?" Ron laughed.

"Shh!" Hermione and Harry said in unison.

"So my name for this year's Harry Potford. Dumbledore said make a fake last name."

Ron spoke up, "I guess I'll be Ron Rogers." He shrugged.

Hermione said, "I'll just be Hermione Granger, no reason not to be. I'm a muggle-born nobody knows my family." The boys nodded for it was true.

Then Lily came down to where the trio were sitting. James was looking from his seat, he had leaned back to look at what Lily was doing.

"Hello!" She said cheerfully. Hermione and Ron nodded without looking up, still examining their schedules. Harry unlike his friends was not about to be so rude to his own mother.

"Hi," he said, trying to give Lily the same cheerful tone of voice she had given him. This WAS about the first time he had ever talked to her.

Hermione was looking up now, Ron was still intrigued by his schedule and what classes Dumbledore had given him.

Lily blushed and said, "I'm Lily Evans. Head Girl of Hogwarts for this year." She said proudly. "And James Potter is Head Boy so if you lot need any help; any at all find one of us. Oh! I forgot you don't know who James Potter is… he's the boy that looks like you." She pointed at Harry and smiled. "A lot like you actually…" Then she walked away, sat down next to James again and was snogged senseless.
