Recap ~ That night they spent sharing stories of their past, at times the common room was filled with laughter and at others filled with sadness but by the end of the night there was no more hate no more grudges. James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Harry Potter and Severus Snape were now friends.
The next morning Harry woke with a headache, he along with James, Sirius, Remus, and Severus had stayed up until the early morning. He had finally gone to bed at around 5 only to have to wake up at 6:30 so yes Harry was in a very cranky mood.
Harry got up from his four-poster bed, to find all the others asleep except for Remus whose bed was vacant and made neatly. Remus was in the small kitchen reading the Daily profit and drinking a cup of coffee that Harry suspected one of the house elves had brought him
"Good Morning Uncle Remus" Harry said brightly all crankiness gone as an elf brought him his food
"Uncle?" Remus asked a little surprised at the title
"Well yea…is that okay?" Harry asked now unsure. He had always looked up to Remus and thought of him as family
"No no its okay" Remus smiled "And good morning to you to Harry"
Just then the door to bedroom opened and out came a cheery James and Sirius. They both looked as if they had slept for hours. Harry and Remus looked at each other surprised because James was a Potter and Potters don't do good in the mornings neither does a Black for that matter
"Why you guys so Happy?" Harry asked cautiously
"Because my dear son of mine today we start classes" James said in a dreamy voice. Remus raised his eyebrows so Harry knew this was unusual for his father to say. Sirius laughed at the look on Harry and Remus face then decides to explain to them
"Prongsie here can't wait to sit next to Lily and hold her hand" James smiled sheepishly and began to eat his own breakfast. The Marauders and Harry decided not to eat in the great hall because they wanted to make a grand entrance when Harry was to go up to the front and be 'sorted' into a house as there story was that he was a 'new' student.
They finished there breakfast, left their Headquarters and started to head down to the great hall.
Lily Evans was sitting in the Great Hall listening to Dumbledore's speech about a new student join them for their 7th year, all the while wondering were the hell her boyfriend was as he was head boy and should have been down here first. Now that she thought of it she hadn't seen him since he left the Prefect Compartment on the train just before they arrived at Hogsmaid. Was he okay?
As if on cue, the great hall doors opened and in walked James, Sirius, Remus and an unknown face that looked like an exact clone of James
"Ahh here they are, Harry could you please come up to the front?" Dumbledore asked Harry. Harry walked up to the front ignoring the points, and whispers as he walked he was already used to them from his own time.
He made it to the front and sat down on the stool. Now that he was in the front all four tables had a clear view of him and could now see that he did look a lot like James Potter. The volume immediately increased, mostly from the girls in the hall. McGonagall placed the sorting hat on Harry's head and he could no longer hear the noise from the hall only an eerie voice in his head
"Well Mr. Potter nice to see you again" said the sorting hat
"Again? But I haven't even been born yet" Harry thought in his head
"Yes well I am a hat so time does not work like that for me. Once I've been on someone's head no matter what time line I will always remember them. I would just like to say congratulation on defeating he who must not be name you will do us proud this time around as well"
"Err thanks so am I a Gryffindor?" Harry asked not wanting to continue the conversation anymore but wanting to go meet his mother for the first time
"Ah yes you will" The sorting hat then broke out of his mind and yelled at the hall "GRYFFINDOR". Immediately the hall erupted into cheers from so-called table and Harry went down and sat down by his father and godfather. Dumbledore stood and waited for the Hall to quiet down when it did he continued
"Now I expect all of you to treat Mr. Potter-" The hall was in whispers again so Dumbledore had to wait again "Yes Harry Potter but he is NOT related to James Potter although they do look a like as you can probably see" Dumbledore said in an amused voice he then motioned for them to leave all except Harry because Harry had to wait for McGonagall to give him his schedule. As everyone else left the hall Harry stayed and waited along with James, Sirius, Remus, and a girl with red hair who Harry knew to be Lily.
Harry was about to say 'Hi' to her when he heard a small cough behind him. He turned to see McGonagall standing behind him
"Well nice to properly meet you Mr. Potter" McGonagall said. James turned at the sound of his name but then realized that the woman was not talking to him but to his son.
"Ah Minnie so you have met our uhh are new friend?" He asked in an unsure voice. Remus face palmed his face and Sirius let out a snicker but James ignored them still looking at the Professor
"Yes Mr. Potter I have and I just hope he is nothing like you" she then turned back to Harry "Mr. Potter this is your schedule I will see you in my class next period. Good Luck on your first day" and with that she left them. Harry looked down at his schedule, James, Remus, Sirius and Lily looked over his shoulder as well

2nd period - History of Magic- Professor Binn
3rd period –Potions- Professor Slughorn
4thperiod –Study Hall

"Hey you have the same classes as us" Lily said when she finished reading his schedule "Hi my name is Lily, Lily Evans I'm head girl" she smiled a shy smile. Harry grinned at her but could not reply he was lost for words. James saw this and decided to help out his son
"This Lily dear is my brother Harry, Harry this is my Girl my treasure, my princesses, my flower, my- oaff" Lily punched him in the stomach and sent him a small glare. Harry could see the small blush on her cheeks and began to laugh as they headed for there first class.
The rest of the day was okay, whispers followed the Marauders, Harry and Lily but they ignored them. No problem had come until they headed to the DADA class. They had that class with Slytherin and Lily immediately stiffened. She knew how James was and she hoped he would not cause any problems. She held her breath as she saw Snape walking up to them
"Hey Sev" James and Sirius said. Lily's eyes widened
"Hey Jay, Hey Siri, Hey Rems, and Hey Harry" He looked at Lily who's mouth was hanging open "Hello Lily" She stared at him then at her boyfriend who was smiling so big. She looked back at Severus and her eyes got watery
"OH SEVERUS!" she cried and flung her arms around his neck. Severus immediately stiffened and held his hands away from Lily so James could see he was not touching her. James laughed and pulled Lily off of him, Lily looked at James then flung her arms on him
"Oh James you guys made up?" she asked
"Yes we talked and we realized we misunderstood each other and we talked for a while and now were friends," he said with a shrug. Lily smiled a watery smile and grabbed his face and kissed him square in the mouth. When she left his lips James had a kind of dreamy face and grabbed her hand. James and Lily had just had their first kiss and James had Snape to thank. James looked at Severus who put two thumbs up at him.
They all entered the DADA class and sat down in the back. Severus left to sit with the Slytherin's on the other side. The teacher walked in and began to do role call
"Mr. Potter" both James and Harry said "Here" they turned to each other and began to laugh
"Okay that's ENOUGH" Harry and James stopped laughing at his tone "Today we will be learning the unforgivables" The whole room went quiet some people looked beyond scared
"B-But their Unforgivable" A Slytherin girl asked. Professor Flame smiled a smile that reminded Harry of Umbridge. Professor Flame now looked at the rest of the class
"Now I think you should know how it looks and how it feels when one is under an unforgivable" His smile widened when the rest of the class started to understand what was going to happen. Harry knew now that Flame was not on the side of good. What should he do?
"Y-you mean y-your going to use them on us?" A Gryffindor now asked. Sirius paled but looked as if he wanted to learn as well.
"Yes I am…now who should go first?" Professor Flame said as he twirled his wand in his hands. Everyone from the past knew that Professor Flame hated James Potter and would love to torture him. Sirius and Remus let out a low growl and Lily squeezed James hands
"Ah Mr. Potter how about you?" James paled but did not stand down; he was about to get up when Harry stuck his hand out to stop him. Sirius and Remus made a grab for Harry but to late Harry was already half way up the front. Professor Flames looked shocked at the person who was not James coming up
"I asked for Mr. Potter," he snarled
"Yea and you have him…Harry Potter remember?" The professor looked at the boy and thought well if he was willing to feel pain then by all means let him
"All right Mr. Potter let us try you" James looked horrified that his son was going to get hurt. Remus and Sirius were growling under their breath as they watched Harry up in the front
"Go ahead but let me warn you-" Harry began
"Warn me? What do you mean you insufferable child?" Professor Flames snapped
"Let me warn you that I am not one to be messed with" the whole classed stared opened mouthed at the new boy who was standing so brave in the face of pain
"We shall see" Remus and Sirius made a motion to get up but James lifted his hands to stop them. He knew that whatever they did would just cause Harry more pain
"Now class we will start with the First unforgivable curse. Does anyone know what it's called?" Lily could not help her self and raised a shaking hand. Flames looked at her
"Imperio, a curse that makes you do what the caster asked you to do, they have complete control over you," she muttered quietly
"Very good ms. know it all" Flames said. James let out a loud growl and looked as if he was about to shout back at the professor when Lily whispered "Just Leave It James"
"Lets see if Mr. Potter can take the Imperio curse when no one has achieved it. He raised his wand and pointed it at Harry expecting him to flinch. Harry did not flinch. The class held its breath as Flames yelled
"IMPERIO" Harry felt his body grow cold. Harry felt a little warmth in his stomach though.
"Mr. Potter jump on the desk and dance like a ballerina" Harry felt his legs want to move but there was a voice in his head stopping him
"Mr. Potter! Jump on the desk and dance like a ballerina" Flames asked again. Harry again felt like he wanted to move but them warmth washed over him. The warmth that was first in his stomach was now all in his body from his toes to his fingertips
"JUMP ON THE DESK AND DANCE LIKE A BALLERINA NOW!" Flames ordered. Harry heard the voice in his head again. Don't do if. You don't want to.
"NOW!" Flames yelled
"No" Harry said. The whole class sucked in there breath. Harry had done it he beat one of the unforgivables! Sirius had his mouth open and Remus had his eyes wide but James looked more shocked then them together. James was so proud of his son.
"Well the Mr. Potter you can beat one of the curses. Very good that takes power and lost of it. You may sit down" Harry turned and walked towards James just as Professor Flames said
"Lets see if you can beat the curse of pain! CRUCIO!" James watched as Harry fell to his knees and his mouth open into a silent scream. Harry did not let himself scream he fought the curse that felt like a thousand knives. To everyone's amazement, after 10 seconds of pain Harry stood up the spell still on him he turned to his Professor and yelled
"PROTEGO" Professor Flames flew across the room and hit his back on the wall. The whole classroom was staring at Harry and Flames.
"Professor…I don't like it when someone sends a spell on an opponent when there back is turned….do you know why?" Harry asked. His Professor could only shake his head
"Because they are a coward just like you professor" James, Sirius, and Remus mouths dropped as Harry put his wand away
"Cl-cl-Class D-d-Dismissed" Flames said as he got up and left to his office.
James ran to Harry and engulfed him in a hug.
"That was so brave of you! I'm so proud you're so amazing" James whispered in Harry ear "Thank you"
Just then Sirius and Remus joined then followed by the whole class as they all said Good Job to Harry. The class started to leave and it was soon just James, Sirius, Remus and Harry who was now heading towards the door
"Harry where are you going?" James asked
"Iv just remembered something" He put silencing charms on all the doors in the classroom then said "There's a horcrux in the castle"
Sirius yelped and Remus looked horrified
"There's a part of Voldemort's soul in the castle!?" Remus asked in disbelief
"Yea there is lets go get it its in the room of requirements" James and Sirius paled
"B-but me and James are always in there! We have never seen anything!" Sirius protested
"That's because you asked for a different Room" Harry corrected him
"What kind of room is it in?" James asked his son
"A room were he can hid something, that's what he asked" As they reached the 7th floor Harry asked for the room of lost and found things. A door soon appeared. Harry, James, Sirius, and Remus walked in. Harry went towards the back and went to the cabinet where he knew the diadem was at. When he reached to he found what he was looking for.
"Is that…is that the lost Diadem of Ravenclaw?" Remus asked in amazement
"Yup" Harry told him as he made his way back to the door. Sirius and James were walked along side him both snickering like mad
"What?" Harry asked them getting a little annoyed.
"Voldy made one of his hocrux's a crown" Sirius said between laughs. Harry and Remus rolled their eyes at how immature they both can be at a time like this. They were out of the room and walking back to there headquarters when James asked a question that was burning in his head
"How do we kill a horcrux?" James asked his son. Remus too now looked at Harry waiting for the answer
"You make it so that it can't repair its self. Like a sword. You can stab it but I wont do nothing. But with the powerful sword of Godric Gryffindor the horcrux cannot repair itself" Harry told the other three
"Okay so we need a bloody sword" Sirius muttered. Harry thought for a moment then knew what he had to do
"No we don't, do you remember how I killed Riddles diary?" Harry asked them. Remus was the one to answer first
"Yes you stabbed it with a basilisk fang" Harry nodded and motioned for them to enter the Marauder's Headquarters.
"Were are we going to get a basilisk fang there all millions of miles away?" James asked
"I know a place," Harry said wishing there could be another way.
"Where?" Remus, Sirius, and James asked Harry
"The Chamber of Secrets" Harry said and Sirius eyes got wider, Remus's face began to sweat, and James began to freak out, This was going to be a harder mission then he thought.
