"James?"

"Yes Lily Flower." he said leaning over to her side of the bed.

"Do you remember that night at Potter Manor after 7th year?"

"The night after I proposed." he said nodding, then he smirked. "The night we both lost our virginities."

"Both? What about the other girls at school? I mean you were known as the 'Gryffindor sex god' or something." said Lily now extremely confused.

"Well those were all fake, Sirius had bet me once that I couldn't top his record for the Gryffindor sex god, I took him up on it but I knew I shouldn't have because I wanted you to be the one I lost it to. So I just dated girls and Implanted images of me having sex with them in their heads. The only person who knew I was doing that was Remus because I asked him how to do it. Sirius never knew that I was a virgin." said James. Lily grinned, "You waited for me?"

"Of course."

"Well that makes me feel great, you being the Gryffindor sex god was one of the main reasons I wouldn't go out with you." sighed Lily.

James pouted "If I would've known that I would've told you about what I did."

"I now wish you would've."

"Too late now." he said, Lily pounced on him and remade his memory of that night.

They were laying in bed. Cuddling close together. The girl was playing with a locket that was clearly new as it glittered a fine gold.

"So you feel the need to buy me unnecessary gifts for what reason? I'm happy just to be with you." she said.

"Because a pretty girl needs pretty things." he replied smoothly.

"Draco," she said.

"Yes Astoria?"

"Stop it!"

"Stop what?"

"With the compliments and the presents."

"Why?"

"Because, just being with you is enough. Plus when you say things like that it makes me feel cheap." she whispered.

"You are not cheap. You are worth more to me than anything in the world." he said.

"Draco." she cooed.

"No, I'm not lying." he said.

She snuggled into him, "If I am worth that much I don't need you to buy me things to make me worth more." she said. It was muffled into him but he heard anyways, through the bond.

"Fine, but I still love you."

"As I love you."

"Good." he said. They snogged for a bit. She pulled back and fell asleep.


The Marauders loved their dragon forms. It was loads of fun so they agreed to learn to fly and started breathing a lot more fire when they returned to Potter Manor. Away from the house at least.


She was so beautiful laying there in his arms. He couldn't believe she was his fiancee. It was amazing. Her eyes fluttered open to see his face.

"The best thing to see in the morning." she whispered.

Remus grinned, "I don't know Dora, I think mine is better. So. Gorgeous." he said. She blushed.

"Today is the day." she whispered. "Time to leave here and go back to Potter Manor."

He nodded and gathered her in his arms and picked her up off the bed.

"I can walk you know?" she said between giggles.

"Yeah but this way is much better." he cooed. She giggled. He picked out something casual for Tonks. A Weird Sisters T-shirt, a pair of jeans and her boots. He waved his wand and her pajamas came off to be replaced with theses clothes. He did cleaning charms and things before she was ready so it took her two minutes to take a shower, brush her teeth and get dressed. He did the same thing to himself and then he made her sit cross legged on the bed as he sat behind her. He grabbed her favorite brush and started to brush her hair gently.

She hummed with happiness and relaxed under Remus' gently stroking and brushing of her hair. Finally after brushing her hair for a full 10 minutes he put the brush to the side. He stood up and walked to her front and put her on the floor. They left their trunks and clean up the small room. Remus grabbed her and swung her until she was on his back.

"Did you notice how much stronger you are now because your furry little problem is optional?" she whispered.

"Why do you think I am carrying you?" he asked back.

Then he stepped out of the room, he ducked so her head wouldn't hit the door frame.

"We have time, what do you want to do?"

"We can play outside for a while can't we?"

"Play what?"

"I don't know chess? How about we make a picnic?"

"Sure."


"Harry? Can we go swim with the merpeople?"

"Sure, let me get some towels."

"Okay."


"Mione," said Ron walking out of the bathroom with two large towels.

"Yes Ron?"

"Do you want to go sit on the dock?"

"Sure, but no books." she said as she laid hers down.

As it turns out all of the Marauders were on the grounds even Fred and George who convinced Alicia and Angelina to pack earlier in the week.

Not a single one of them had the same idea to spend the day. Ron and Hermione had bathing suits on but didn't feel like swiming.

They spent their time talking, tanning (Ron had loads of charms on) and dangling their feet in the water. Ron couldn't help but stare at how Hermione's one piece fitted her.

Hermione was trying to keep her staring at Ron's chest in check.

After a while she noticed his eyes on her and blushed. Ron noticed her blush said "Um, sorry. I… just…um…pretty."

She laughed, "Thank you Ron, It is alright I was trying to stop myself from looking at your chest." she said while blushing. Ron smiled.


Harry and Ginny were talking with the mere-people. The mere-people agreed to side with them in the war if they could get them to not be classified as a beast, but as respected and dignified creatures.

Do you think we can unite them to help us? Especially during the 2nd challenge?

Maybe but not now. We can work up to it.

She nodded and finally Harry check his watch, thank goodness it is waterproof. He realized it was close to the time to leave.

Let's go, we will be late.

Alright.

They swam to the dock and met Hermione and Ron who just got up to walk back. Harry summoned the towels he hid. They dried themselves off and all of the Marauders went back to the common room. From different places but at the same time.


Remus and Tonks were enjoying their picnic by the lake. She was sitting beside him, not touching him but just sitting. When she was done she leaned back, waved her hand and effectively made the picnic basket disappear. Then she waved her hand and was in a very revealing black lace bikini. She laid down and morphed into herself so her breasts got larger, her hair was brown as were her eyes. Remus just gaped at her.

"Like what you see?" she asked as she opened her closed eyes. He nodded. She grinned, he reached out his hand to touch her stomach. She slapped it and grinned as he whimpered.

"How much do you like what you see?" she asked.

"More than anything." he growled out.

"Hmmm, I think you need a change." she said. She waved her hand and his outfit changed to a tight pair of swim shorts. She noticed their was a slight bulge in them. She grinned. "Looks like someone needs some special help." she chuckled. He nodded.

"Soon my love, soon." she cooed. She then closed her eyes and felt lips on her neck. He sucked there and she moaned. He chuckled darkly against her. He started moving down but she stopped him and moved his head up to hers and started to send her magic to her mouth, "Control yourself." is all she said. she didn't want to but she figured Remus would be disappointed if Moony made him break his promise to not do that until he was married. She wouldn't have been able or willing to stop him if he moved farther. He sighed, "Thank you." he groaned, "I didn't want to lose control. I'm sorry. I promised I wasn't going to do that." he said looking away from her after straightening up. She sighed and changed her bathing suit to something more modest. She grabbed his chin and turned it to her face. His eyes were shining with unshed tears.

"Hey, it was my fault, I was the one to wear that bathing suit." she said.

"But I could have lost control, could have raped you right here right now." he said.

"Can't rape the willing." she snorted, "And I know how to handle it."

"So what are we going to do now?" he asked.

"Well, we could pick a day for our wedding. I don't think I can wait any longer. It has to be soon." she whispered.

"Alright, like when? September? January?" he asked.

"I was thinking sooner. Like June 30st."

"But that is in less than two weeks." he said, gobsmacked.

"Yeah, it doesn't have to be big, plus us girls have been planning for a while. It will be ready in time if you wish."

He grinned, "This is your day not mine you get the main say in it all." he replied.

"Oh wonderful, Amelia and Lily are going to hound me cause you put me in charge, free rein to design everything." she said in a sarcastic cheery tone.

He chuckled, "Good luck."


"Sirius I was wondering, Lily, Tonks and I have been planning the weddings. I was wondering if you would help me figure out a date."

Sirius looked to the girl he loved sitting on his lap, "Well how soon?"

"Extremely." she said. "I don't think I can take not being with you officially forever any longer."

"September?" he asked as she leaned back.

"Not soon enough." she said as she turned to him.

"Alright July?"

"No."

"Tomorrow?" he asked.

"No, a bit later."

"You are impossible." he said as he rolled his eyes

"I was thinking a bit into August." she huffed.

"Like the 15th?" he asked.

"Yeah, August the 15th. The first day of the rest of our lives."

"I like the sound of that. August 15th the first day of our lives together. Amelia Susan Black, at least you will still be Amelia B."

"Yeah." she said. She snuggled into him. "I like the sound of that too. Amelia Susan BLACK." she cooed. He grinned and kissed her head.

After a while they stood unknowingly joining the rest of the Marauders.


After some people changing they met in the common room. All of them had gotten a butterbeer from Dobby.

"To a wonderful year!" they said.

"Yeah because Gryffindor won the House Cup!" said the twins.

Everyone laughed and downed their butterbeers. When they disposed of the bottles, they all walked out with their things shrunk down and in their pockets. Ice was around Harry's neck.

"You may teach others about the sword fighting now, you are very well mastered in it." it hissed.

"Thanks." Harry hissed back.

Lily and James were both staring at Harry. What on earth was that? Was he hissing?

Harry kept on walking. He had heard his parents thoughts but he didn't mind. When they got to the Marauders compartment, James and Lily sat on Harry's left while Ginny was on his right.

"Were you hissing earlier?" whispered James.

Harry nodded, and hissed to Ice "Should I tell them?"

"If you would like."

"Ginny?" he hissed.

"It is up to you but I guess it would be easiest now because we are hissing in front of them."

Harry nodded again.

"What is that?" asked Lily.

"Parseltongue." he said. James and Lily gasped.

"Thats dark magic!" said James.

"No it is known to pass from the descendants of Slytherin. His descendants can choose to do what they like. To be good or bad, it is up to them." said Harry. "Ginny can do it and it comes in handy."

James just stared at him, so did Lily, "I can understand Ice better." Harry said looking down to his neck.

"Who is Ice?" asked Lily.

"My snake." he said then he hissed "Reveal yourself please."

"Yes master." then snake was there. James and Lily gasped as the white snake appeared.

"Do you like him?" asked Ginny as she patted the snakes head. Ice emitted a noise that sounded as close to a pur as a snake can get.

"Um, I guess but when did you get him?" asked Lily.

"The afternoon after finding out about the dragons. I had a strong urge to go there and I found out it was because the snake had picked a master, me. I learned a great deal from him in the past 2 months."

"That is a long time! And learning what exactly." said James.

"Sword fighting, physical fighting. Better dueling techniques, how to controll my magic more, how to organize my thoughts to hold more information, and loads of old runes and charms and spells." said Harry.

"That snake taught you all that?" said Lily.

"Yep." said Harry, popping the p with his lips. Lily and James stared at the snake in awe.

"What has been eating? Where is he sleeping? And why didn't you tell us you had him?" said James.

"Rats, a cage in my trunk that he picked out, and because I wasn't sure if you would let me walk around with a snake around my neck if you knew." replied Harry.

"That is a good point pup, they wouldn't have." interrupted Sirius. He had been listening the whole time but didn't want to say anything in the family matter but he wanted Harry to know he had guessed right. James and Lily sighed nodding in the same way. Then they heard a faint his.

"Hey Snuffles, Ice said congrats."

"For what?" he asked.

"He saw the closeness of you too and then the rings, he has seen my dream so he knew you were alone." said Harry. Sirius grinned "Tell him I said thanks."

"He understands english, you tell him." said Ginny.

"Thanks Ice," said Sirius.

Hiss was all he got back before Harry said "He said no problem." Sirius nodded. Weird, but cool.


The rest of the ride was uneventful. Other than the routine visits from the others the 6 adults left to where they were supposed to be sitting. After the third visit, they came back and Harry rolled his eyes.

"Got a problem with us Potter?" asked a particularly bitter Hufflepuff, Zacharias Smith.

"No Zacharias. It is just my pet seems a bit agitated. He was trying to tell and old story and we keep getting interrupted." replied Harry.

"But owls, cats, and toads don't talk. Boy I knew you guys had problems but talking to animals, you are mad." he replied smugly.

"My Owl isn't here and that wasn't the pet I was speaking of" replied Harry cooley.

"But you aren't allowed to have other animals here." said Zacharias.

"I am aware," said Harry.

Zacharias scowled and left grumbling about nutters talking with animals.

Ice returned to hiss the story for Harry to translate about his life.

"Ice was born in the year, wow, 592 B. Ireland no less. He was trained and then started to travel. Being one of a pack of many that headed off on their own, the rest died. He hadn't found a master so he was deemed to stay alive. Being the last of the Glacier Snakes would be hard, but with his knowledge he got through. He said this story would be on the time not very long ago he met with a dark shadow in the forest. The forests of Albania. He said he found a dark roaming figure looking for a body to posses, it tried him and then tried to destroy him when it didn't work. All in vain, the thing that tried to posses him took the form of a snake that was close as it tried time after time to kill him, Ice finally hissed to him "Tom you fool, I know who you are what you have done and I know the Potters will come for you." The story abruptly cut off there and Harry was hissing at his snake.

Then after what looked like a heated discussion he continued, "I understand what you are doing, what you have made and I know that your enemies will rise to face you and defeat you, easily." said Harry. "As you can imagine Tom wasn't happy and Ice left. But only after," he cut off and started hissing again. The snake just hissed back a bit more irritable than earlier.

"But only after, saying that the 'Harry Potter would join his mudblood mother and blood traitor scum of a father shortly.' he then tried to strangle him again, failing as well." finished Harry. Everyone grinned at the snake but were still half scowling from Voldemorts comment on Harry's parents.

Ice let Harry tell the stories of loads of things, even how Ice had seen what happened to Harry's parents but couldn't open the window to help. Harry agreed they would teach him to open doors and windows, when they got home. Ice told them that was really the only thing he couldn't do.

After the story the door slide open again and all heads went up and all the wands came out. But it turned out to be Dudley and Susan. They relaxed and expanded the cart. The two sat down and joined the conversation.

When the Marauders and Dudley and Susan got off the train they weren't surprised to see the six adults 'helping' people off the train. They knew they just wanted to find their group. Harry grinned and joined them. Lily, James, Sirius, Amelia, Tonks and Remus all grinned at them. They did it. And by it, they meant a lot. Not only all the wonderful things from this year but they also did something that they didn't even know they did. They broke the record for a different defense professor every year. Nothing bad happened to Remus, actually good things happened to him. To all of them.


BEWARE, THE NEXT ONE WILL BE COMING EVENTUALLY BUT IT WILL TAKE LONGER AS IT ISN'T FINISHED AND i'M LAZY!
