Moony, Wormtail, Prongs. And Padfoot
By Spark
James was in the attic in the old house. The house was Potter House. It was big to James. His father was born here before they went into hiding. The Potters have lived here for a really long time. James was in the attic trying to hide from his dad. He was trouble, he got in a fight with the boy next door. The boy was picking on a girl from Godric Hollows. His mum shook her head and told him to wait in his room until his dad got home from work. He didn't go there.
He looked out the attic window to see when his dad was coming. He could see very far from where he was looking. He sat on the box that was there to wait for his dad. He fell in the box because it was cardboard and it couldn't support his weight.
The box fell around him. It was pictures from the pass. He saw one of four guys. They were laughing and waving at the camera. He picked up the picture and looked at them. There was a shaggy brown hair boy, next to them was a shorter boy with a rat like face, next him was a boy with black hair going every which way, kind of like James. Next to him was another boy with black hair, his was longer and it looked like he rolled out of bed. There was a castle in the background that James knew as Hogwarts, where his Mum and Dad learned it all.
He turned the picture to see if someone wrote on it. There were the names Moony, Wormtail, Prongs, and Padfoot. The year in the corner said 1976. James wonders who they are. He heard a pop in the distance and turned to see that his dad was home. He stuffed the picture in his pocket because his dad would know who these people were. He would ask him after he was yelled at for fighting.
He ran down the attic stairs to the second floor. He heard his parents talking downstairs. Mum was probably telling him what happen today. He went in his room and sat on the bed. He waited for his father to come in his room. He didn't have to wait long.
There was a knock on the door and his father showed his head in the doorway. "James, can I talk to you," James nodded and waited for his father to come in the room. His dad took a sit on the bed next to him. "I heard you got in a fight today," James nodded.
"Yeah, he was picking on a girl from the village." He saw a smile on his dad's face.
"James, you know fighting is wrong, right?" James nodded and looked in his father's eyes.
"You told me to protect girls," James reminded his father before handed out the punishment.
"I did so I won't make your punishment to hard. No broomstick for the weekend." James' dad smiled. There was a sparkle in his eye that made James laugh.
Harry was ready to get up to change when James stopped him. "Dad." James took the picture out of his pocket. "Who are these boys?" Harry took the picture from his son and looked down at the picture. "It said Moony, Wormtail, Prongs, and Padfoot on it?"
Harry smiled. "This is Remus Lupin, Teddy's dad," He pointed to the first boy. "That is Peter Pettigrew," There was a dark look at Harry's face. It was gone quickly but James saw it anyways. He made a note to ask his father about that later. "That is your grandfather, James," James looked up at his father. Harry laughed. "Yes, you were names after him and him," Harry pointed to the last boy. "That is Sirius Black. He was my godfather."
"Why did they go by those names," James pointed to the back of the picture. "Not by their real names."
Harry chuckled. "They were animagus," James gave his father a look. Harry smiled. "They could change into animals. Each of their names is what they turned into. Remus was a werewolf," James eyes widen. "He was a good one." James nodded. "Peter was a rat, James was a stag," James gave him another weird look. Harry took out his wand and a stag came out of it. There was a look of wonderment on the boy's face. "Sirius was a dog,"
"Wow," James said.
"Where did you get this?" Harry asked.
"In the attic," James said.
"Show me where," Harry held out his hand for James. He took it and they went up to the attic.
