The quartet meet Lily and the Marauders

AN: I was right I need to split this up into four or six separate chapters. I hope no one minds, I figured some people would like to see how the younger Marauder's and Lily could have possibly acted during those memories. I'm also going to fiddle around with the shack scene in book three. I hate what Snape does, so I'm going to have a little fun at our favourite potion masters expense.


The Quartet Meet Lily And The Marauder’s
Chapter Ten: Confession Time Part Three.


The next memory they landed in was of the infamous blowing up of Marge Dursley back in Harry's third year. Remus, Sirius nor Peter knew they would soon see their older selves.

They watched as a yet again older looking Harry sat around the table with Vernon, Petunia, a fatter and more repulsive Dudley and of course a woman that greatly resembled Vernon.

They watched as the woman drank excessive amounts of expensive wine and ate every thing she could get her hands on. Lily rolled her nose in disgust, she giggled when she noticed James’s face was scrunched up in a grimace of revulsion. James grinned and shrugged when he noticed her gaze on him and he heard her giggle.

James had noticed after the memory with Ginny, that the older Harry became the more he tended to resemble him. It was strange to think about the fact he had been sharing room with his own son for the last six weeks. James was snapped out of his own thoughts when Lily had tapped him on the shoulder.

The others were looking at him with knowing looks. They knew James was still in awe over the fact he would become a father, and that he knew what his unborn child would look like when he grew up.

They heard Marge badgering Harry over James and Lily, that if there was something a matter with the bitch then the pup would be just as abnormal. Both James and Lily had bristled with rage at that comment. The others had taken a step away from them when they had seen how much that comment had affected their friends.

They had all been pissed over the comments about James being a drunk and a worthless waste of space.
And school for the criminally incurable. called st. Brutuses. The five of them had reflexively stood back when Harry had made the glass explode.

Harry had screamed "My father was not a worthless waste of space; he was not a drunk either." James had been stunned as he watched his only child defended his memory and honour.

James at that moment promised he would take Harry under his wing and get Snape back for what he did to Harry before Harry and the rest of the quartet returned to their time. He would do it even if it killed him.

James felt a warm sensation go through him when Harry had defended him, that feeling had been pride, pride for his son who had the guts to stick up for what he believed in.

They all roared with laughter when they noticed Harry had blown up Marge. The larger she became the harder they all laughed. And the more James's respect and awe of his son grew.

James was howling in laughter and had to hold him self and Lily up, when one of Marge's ugly bull dogs took hold of Vernon’s trouser legs in his mouth.

Lily and the others were practically hyperventilating when Vernon had grabbed hold of Marge's leg which in returned had also lifted him off the ground along with her and the bull dog still attached to his leg.

They all turned when they heard Harry growled in a fashion worthy of James, he was James's son alright. "She bloody well deserved it and a hell of a lot more" Harry sneered.

They were still wiping away their tears of mirth when they discovered they were no longer in the Dursley's kitchen, but in a dark and deserted ally way. They saw Harry coming up the street dragging his trunk and Hedwig's cage behind him.

They watched as he sat down on top of his trunk. They were startled when they saw Harry jump up and looked down the ally way. They followed his gaze. Peter asked "Padfoot isn't that your?" He trailed off as the large black dog came nearer. Sirius finished the sentence for him. "What my Animagus form? Yeah it is."

They watched as Harry practically shit himself when he got a clear view of Padfoot. Sirius snorted “Ain’t that just a kick in the arse? I've always wanted to have that effect on others, it's just a shame that it worked on one of people I didn't want it to."

James grinned and said "Ah Padfoot I think that might have something to do with the fact you are larger in this memory and the fact you looked like you haven't had a decent meal in a while, that adds to the frightening quality. Plus if I'm guessing right from the way this version of Harry is reacting to you, then I would say your best bet is that he knows nothing about you and you’re probably just another wild dog to him."

The memory ended just as the older Padfoot took one last look at Harry then made a run for it. And Harry accidentally flagged the knight’s bus down.

The next memory was of Harry at the train station talking to an older man with red hair. They presumed he was Ron's father, as Ron had told them he was the second youngest and Ginny was the youngest and only female of seven children, six of them being male.

Ginny had explained the Weasley's are a large pure blood family, and that their father was the current minister of magic back in their time.

They stood close and listened in on the conversation. Remus was looking around when he spotted a poster. It was a poster that said wanted. It was a picture of an obviously escaped convict. Remus looked closer, and nearly passed out on the spot. The man in the picture was Sirius; Remus could recognise his friend’s facial features and eyes, no matter how old he was.

His voice trembled as he said "Oh no you guys, I think you better come and look at this." They all joined him; Sirius was in the front so he reached the poster first.

They all looked at the poster of a thin man who was snarling in anger. He looked pale, his hair was long and the curls with all tangled. They all turned to a younger and very sick looking Sirius Black who read out aloud his voice was clearly trembling.

"Escaped convict from Azkaban, Sirius Black. Have you seen this man, beware highly dangerous. Do not attempted to use magic on this wizard" Sirius turned away and growled "I don't fucking believe it, I'm an escaped convict in the future. What the hell did I do to end up in fucking Azkaban?"

The others looked horrified, it couldn't be right Sirius wasn't the type of person to do something worthy of doing time in Azkaban. Sure he had a rotten temper but he would never intentionally cause anyone any harm. Sirius was a softy with a heart of gold. He was the joker and the idiot, but definitely not, convict material.

The memory ended before they had a chance to dwell on it and Sirius began to think he was guilty. Which of course he wasn't, but he currently was not aware of that.

The next memory was set on the train. They were all inside of a compartment and were chatting about who the defence professor was going to be that year. Harry and the others were discussing how the position was cursed since Quirril in their first year.

James was looking around as he listened to his son and his friends talking. He turned when he noticed a figure in the corner that appeared to be sleeping. James quickly stopped when he caught a glimpse of the persons old and battered suitcase, he nearly keeled over when he read the initials on the case. R.J. Lupin. ‘Holy shit, I don't bloody believe it' James thought with shock and amusement.

He leaned over to get a better look at the older version of one of his best friends. He was surprised to see Remus didn't look a day over twenty one. His chest nut brown hair was streaked with grey hair. The grey hair actually added to his appeal his friend had grown up to be a very beautiful man. He also had a moustache, that James thought looked really good on him. He could clearly tell the full moon had not long ago come and gone, because of the ill look Remus was currently displaying.

James's grin suddenly widened, he was going to have some fun with this. He made a mental note to thank his son at a later date for his once in a live time opportunity. The eighteen year old Remus had turned along with the others and noticed the grin on James face.

He knew what that looked meant, just like the others did. James Potter was up to no good. Lily looked at James suspiciously "What are you planning now?" she asked with exasperated affection. James grinned gleefully and replied "Moony junior it gives me the utter most pleasure to represent to you, Moony senior." He gestured to the sleeping figure.

Remus looked at James then at the sleeping figure in disbelief as he slowly stepped forward to get a look at the man he would become, and the man Harry would fall madly and deeply in love with and would mate with.

James grinned and patted the teen Remus on the back as he stepped aside to allow Remus to get a good look at his older self. Remus stepped closer until he was as close as James had previously been. Remus gasped when he saw the older version of himself.

He if he did say so himself looked hot, his hair was streaked with grey which to his surprise made him look good instead of old. And to Remus delight he didn't look a day over twenty one, even through he was aware he was most likely in his early thirties.

The others then came closer, Sirius grinned as he took in the grey streaks and the moustache and the beautiful appearance that was his friend. Sirius chuckled "I never thought I would ever say this, but damn Moony you look hot, you’re gorgeous. Damn I wonder how you managed to stay looking that young."

Remus smirked and replied with evident amusement "Why thank you Padfoot if I didn't know any better I would say you’re attracted to the older version of me. And the reason I don't look my age is that werewolf’s tend to age slower then everyone else."

Lily smiled and said "I happen to agree with Sirius you look gorgeous." Remus blushed at the way Lily was smiling at him. James added "I was thinking that my self you are looking mighty fine, and the fact I like to bat for both teams, you never know." He laughed jokingly.

Lily shook her head with amusement, she didn't mind when James talked like that seeing as she also batted for both teams as well. And of course liked to joke around as well. They all liked to bat for both teams, even Peter liked both genders. Peter grinned and said genuinely "You look brilliant Moony."

They were all startled when the lights went out and the train stopped completely. They heard the younger versions of the quartet moving around. They heard the door open and close. They sniggered when they heard someone asked Ron "Is that you Ginny?" Ron had replied "No Neville it bloody ain't, wrong Weasley, wrong gender. Now get the bloody hell out of my lap before I forget it isn't right to hex your friends."

James and the others heard everyone in the compartment laugh when Neville squeaked an apology "Oh sorry Ron." Everyone laughed harder including James and the others when Ron had growled "Neville do you mind watching where you are putting your hands, they've landed in places you don't have permission to explore thank you every much."

The fact the lights were out and no one could see it was still obvious Neville was bright red by the tone of his voice when he mumbled a second apology.

Everyone froze when they heard the older Remus moving in the corner. They heard him get up and say to them "Would you all please be quite while I go down to the front of the train and enquire as to why we have stopped. And what ever you do, do not step one foot out of this compartment any of you."

They all heard the door open and close once again. Sirius said "Well it's save to say Moony, you've not change one bit when it comes to telling others not to do something." He added "But I must admit your voice is deeper and definitely sexier." Remus snorted and swatted Sirius's arm playfully, as he had been standing beside Sirius before the lights had gone out.

They heard Hermione ask "I wonder why we have stopped, and it is still too early for us to be at the station yet?" They all turned quickly when the older Remus had re-entered the compartment. He had said in a tone of voice that clearly stated to Lily and the marauder's that something unpleasant was happening or was about to happen.

"I'm not going to lie to you as I'm sure most of you have noticed we are not at Hogsmead train station. The train has been stopped and the Azkaban guards have boarded the train, and are currently searching for escaped convict Sirius Black." Everyone noticed there was a slight hitch in his voice when he had said Sirius's name.

Ron had gasped when Remus had mentioned the Azkaban guards he asked his tone of voice clearly terrified "When you say Azkaban guards, you mean dementors don't you?" Remus sighed and replied "Yes, I was talking about the dementors."

Just as Remus had retaken his seat the door opened again, only this time there was a chilling breeze that followed. And everyone noticed when they let out a breath that the air was so chilled that it looked like they had been smoking. The windows began to develop a layer of ice, as the dementors came closer. They all shivered as it felt like every happy feeling that had surrounded the compartment was being sucked out. Everyone felt like they would never feel happiness ever again.

When the dementors had gone near Harry, Remus had leaped up when he saw how distressed Harry was becoming, he could clearly tell he was hearing and reliving his worst nightmare. Remus quickly took out his wand and shouted ‘Expecto patronum’ twice at the dementors.

The younger Remus watched as a large silver fox shot out of the end of his wand and drove the dementors away. Remus looked on surprised his Patronus was a fox. His patronus looked like Harry did when he transformed into Flames.

Everyone blinked to adjust as the lights came back on. Harry was on the floor passed out cold. The last thing Harry had seen before he had past out was the silver fox that had come out of Remus's wand.

James suddenly realised that this was not only Harry's memory; this memory was also a continuation of either Hermione's Ron's or Ginny's memory. As Harry had passed out, and they would have not been able to continue with this memory as Harry would have no knowledge of what they were seeing. They watched on worriedly as the older Remus pointed his wand at Harry and cast a spell to wake him.

They watched as Remus had lifted Harry carefully off the floor. Ron and the others, all except Hermione were far to busy pulling themselves together to notice what was happening with Remus and Harry. Hermione along with the younger Remus and the others were the only ones to notice what the older Remus did as he helped Harry off the floor.

Remus had unknowingly breathed in Harry's scent, he hadn't realised what he had done until he was surrounded by the exquisite and intoxicating scent that was Harry. Remus nodded in realisation when he the saw the eyes of his older self widen in disbelief, horror and realisation. Harry smelt so wonderful because he was the one true mate of Remus.

They continued to watch as Remus helped Harry to sit up straight. He had then walked over to his briefcase and had taken out a large bar of chocolate. He broke off several large pieces and had past it to Harry and the others in the compartment.

James quickly realised this was in fact Hermione's memory; she was the only one who had also seen what had happened, other wise they would not be seeing this. James also realised that they had just witness Remus discovering his mate, who also happened to be his and Lily's son.

Remus had told them he would be back in a moment and that they were to eat that chocolate as it would help them recover. Ten minutes later he returned and noticed no one had ate the chocolate, he smirked at all of them "I've not poisoned that chocolate you know, it is save for you to eat."

The younger Remus laughed as his older self continued smirking as they finally started to eat the chocolate. They saw him shake his head with amusement.

They quickly noticed their surroundings melt away, and that they were now in a memory that obviously belong to Harry. It was a memory that consisted of only Harry and the older Remus. The older Remus was teaching him how to conjure a patronus.

James was impressed, if he had calculated correctly then Harry was only thirteen in this memory. And no normal thirteen year old should have even been thinking of mastering such a charm, never mind actually attempting to do it.

They watched for another ten minutes, and were in awe when they saw Harry had partly conjured a patronus of his own. They knew it wouldn't be long before Harry had mastered the spell. They wouldn't even learn that charm until towards the end of the year. They listened as Remus sat beside Harry and handed him a piece of chocolate, and just sat back with a bottle of butter beer each.

Remus had told Harry "I'm very impressed Harry, when I had suggested you learn to conjure your own patronus to hold off an attack by the dementors. I had no idea you would be able to even partly be successful in such a short amount of time. Not even some of the older wizards are able to even partly produce a patronus. I'm sure you will have the patronus charm mastered in either the next lesson or the lesson after that. You shouldn't need more then another two lessons Harry." Remus and the others watched as the room and two other figures melted away.

They knew straight away that this memory they had just landed in was Ron's. What gave it away was the fact you could only see Ron who was standing near the shrieking shack. And of course he was in the middle of another round of verbal judo with none other then Malfoy junior.

Their attention was quickly taken from Ron when mud come flying through the air, and started to splat Malfoy and his cronies. James ripped up with laughter when the mud splattered the back of Malfoy's blond almost white hair. The others watched as Ron doubled over in peals of laughter, and had to hold him self up by holding onto the side of the shack.

Sirius and Remus were soon set off; when one of Malfoy's cronies insisted the mud was being thrown by the ghosts in the shack. Lily and Peter joined the others and howled with laughter when the invisibility cloak slipped off to only reveal Harry's head. So it appeared Harry's head was floating in mid air.

Naturally this scared the shit out Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. Malfoy sprinted as fast as he could leaving Crabbe and Goyle behind to trip over each other behind Malfoy has they tempted to run.

Ron gasped between breaths "Oh Harry mate you have no idea how funny what you just did is. Thanks, you have no idea how much I needed that." He added sarcastically “It warms my good old Gryffindor heart to see Malfoy getting what he’s had coming ever since he first entered Hogwarts.”

Still laughing they found themselves back in another of Harry's memories. This one was obviously set in the dungeons. They were seeing the older Snape up and close for the second time. They noticed he was holding a piece of parchment and it appeared Harry had been caught.

James looked closely at the parchment and smirked when he realised exactly what Snape was holding. He cackled evilly and said with undisguised glee "Guys I do believe Snivellus as gotten his hands on the Marauder's map, oh this is gonna be sweet."

Sirius and Remus exchange looks of evil glee with Peter. Lily looked apprehensive, this was not going to end well for Severus that much she knew. At the moment she couldn't really say she cared after what the Snape of their time had recently done to hers and James's future son, and what he had said and called her.

They all watched as the map started to fill with words as if an invisible hand was writing on the parchment. The first sentence of an obvious insult appeared, courtesy of Moony A.K.A Remus.

‘Mr Moony presents his compliments to professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's businesses’

The Marauder's snigger at the expression on Snape's face. They saw Snape freeze when the insults continued to appear.

‘Mr Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that professor Snape is an ugly git’

Lily shook her head at their antics. So far Remus and James A.K.A Prongs had insulted Snape. Two down two to go. And the insults weren't even half finished coming yet.

‘Mr Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor’

They all watched as Harry closed his eyes in horror. They waited for the final parting shot and blow. It was gonna be sweet.

‘Mr Wormtail bids professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair the slime ball’

They all howled with laughter, Snape looked murderous. They watched as Snape called for someone in the fire place. They all grinned when they saw Remus step out of the fire and dusted off his robes.

They ripped up with laughter; even Lily joined them in their laughter when Snape claimed the map was full of dark and dangerous magic. Naturally he would say that as the map was insulting him.

James had mumbled "Yeah he knows us better then you think" when Remus had asked Harry if he knew any of the people who wrote the map. They knew it was just an act for Snape. Naturally Remus was one of the creators of the map, along with James, Sirius and Peter.

James grinned as the current memory melted away. Harry was so much like him, in more ways then just his appearance and that pleased him greatly.
