The Quartet Meet Lily And The Marauder's
Chapter Four: Introducing The Quartet To The Marauder's And Lily.


They entered the portrait of the fat lady. The quartet took in their surroundings and came to the same conclusion at the same time, the Gryffindor tower didn't appear to have changed at all over the years. Hedwig left Harry's shoulder and flew around the room before landing near by.

Minerva cleared her throat and said "May I please have everyone's attention? Good. I would like to introduce four new students who have all transferred from a school in America."

She pointed to each of the quartet in turn "Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Ron Weasley and Harry James Parker." There was a loud mere of voice when she had pointed to Harry, James and Lily looked startled, as one of the new kids was a spitting image of James and had the same colour eyes as Lily.

Minerva saw the look that James and Lily had exchange with each other. She knew they could see the startling resemblance between themselves and Harry. She just hopped the situation didn't somehow back fire.

"I want you all to make the new students feel welcome they are members of your house new members but still members." She then turned on heel and gestured for the quartet to follow her up stairs to the boys and girls dormitories.

Harry whistled "Hedwig here girl." Hedwig willingly flew back over to Harry and perched on Harry's shoulder once again. Then Minerva leaded them up stairs.

After the five were out of ear shot the entire Gryffindor tower went in immediate full out gossip mode. Sirius let out a low whistle as he jested "Damn James, Lily you two do realise if you two were to ever have kids they would properly look like that Parker kid."

Remus shook his head in disbelief "James the kid is like a mirror image of you. And Lily he is only the other person I have ever seen who has the exact same shade of green eyes as you do."

Lily looked dumbfound "James luckily I and the guys know better or we would think he was you. He has your messy black hair he even wears glasses in an almost identical style. And that face it's just like yours right down to your nose, the only difference that allows me to tell you apart is your eyes yours are hazel brown and he for some strange reason has the same colour eyes as myself."

They watched as Peter shook his head "Unbelievable" he murmured. Lily stood and said "Come on boys let’s go and welcome the new Gryffindor's." James followed reluctantly while Sirius had no complaints what so ever, he wanted to get a closer look at the red haired guy and perhaps have a little discreet ogling session.

Remus noticed something strange and different about Harry's scent he was intrigued to discover exactly what that was. Peter on the other hand just merely followed, plus he wanted to get a better look at Harry. He was still startled over the shocking resemblance between his friend and the new student.

The Marauder's followed Lily up the stairs as soon as McGonagall had gone out of the portrait. They heard a conversation coming from the boy’s seventh year dormitories. They hardly caught any thing that was being said as the conversation quickly ceased.

They were startled when they heard a female voice ask “Is there something I can or the others can do for you?" Lily looked up to see a younger looking girl who resembled her quite a lot.

Lily smiled sheepishly "We came to welcome you all to Gryffindor that's all." Ginny grinned "Right then why don't you come hear and do it face to face with the others as well?" Lily and the others knew they had been caught by the knowing grin on Ginny's face.

They slowly made their way up the rest of the stairs to the boy's dorms. They all step inside as Ginny took a step a side. Sirius headed for his own bed, Remus did the same with his own James and Peter followed suit.

James was the head boy had his own set of rooms but had gotten McGonagall and Dumbledore to agree to allow him to remain in the dorms and use the head boys set of rooms when ever he wanted privacy. He normally used those rooms when it was just him and Lily or he and the Marauder's were planning their next monthly outing of mischief.

He noticed that there had been two other beds set up. The guy that looked frighteningly like himself was currently occupying one of them. And the other guy had taken the second one.

He noticed Harry was in the bed opposite him, The red haired guy was opposite Sirius and Remus was opposite Peter and Frank Longbottom's bed was next to Remus's.

James glared at Harry when he noticed the way Harry was looking at Lily and the fact he was looking at her for far to long in his opinion.

Harry had been in awe when he had seen how beautiful his mother was. She was even more beautiful then she had been in the photos he had of her and his father who for some reason was currently glaring at him.

The others including Lily had noticed this. Lily could tell the way Harry was looking at her was in no way sexual. She didn't know how she knew this she just did. But James on the other hand had misinterpreted the whole thing again. This was seriously pissed her off, she was sick and tiered of James’s jealousy streak. At first she had been deeply flattered but now it was just seriously annoying.

Sirius noticed Harry was looking at Lily a little longer then was perhaps appropriate, but the look was definitely in no way sexual he knew this from experience. And besides he noticed the Parker kid was wearing a platinum promise ring, and it was on his ring finger. He was as good as already married off to some other lucky guy or girl.

And much to his chagrin the hot red haired guy was also sporting a similar band but not quite the same. He could tell they were not promised to each other, they seemed to be sharing the comfortable air siblings tended to share, normal siblings unlike the kind in his own family. They were clearly the best of mates like himself and the current idiot Known as James Potter.

Remus had got a closer dose of the exquisite scent that was purely Harry. He knew what the scent meant; it was the scent of his mate. But much to Remus's horror his true and only mate was promised to another. He unknowingly didn't realise that the other who held Harry's heart was in fact himself.

His heart almost broke there and then. He noticed the look Harry was directing at Lily it was obvious Harry was not interested in Lily because if he had been he would have been able to smell the attraction but Harry was normal, only his own scent was surrounding him and what a heavenly scent of apples it was.

Peter thought ‘What the hell is Prongs glaring at the new guy for? Sure he was staring at Lily perhaps for a little to long, but what was the harm of looking it wasn't as if Harry was going to make a move he was after all wearing a band that had shown he was already promised to someone else’

Ron froze when he saw the heated glare Harry's father was directing at Harry in full force. Ron knew Harry didn't realise he been staring and for an inappropriate amount of time. Harry the poor sod was just looking at his mother in the flesh for the first time since he was one.

Someone really needed to tell James Harry wasn't a threat, plus he was already in a loving relationship with someone else, who happened to be a werewolf. who was going to marry Harry, who happened to be Remus Lupin who the current younger version of happened to be in the same room as them.

Hermione and Ginny shared a look and instantly agreed there was going to be trouble. They just hopped they could resolve the situation before it really got started, and without them having to reveal anything that wasn't save to reveal.

Harry suddenly knew why his father was glaring at him. He had obviously been staring at his mother for two long and his father being only a teen and a hot headed one at that, had thought he was hitting on Lily.

Harry would have laughed at the absurdity of the whole concept of him being attracted to his mother if he was not at risk of currently having his lights punched out by his overly jealous father. Harry knew he better sort this out before it got out of hand and his face met his father’s fist.

Harry cleared his throat and smiled apologetically at Lily "Er sorry if I was staring at you for what appeared to be too long and inappropriate amount of time. I promise I honestly wasn't checking you out.”

He added “Besides I'm already every much in love with someone else, I promised myself to him and I'm going to marry him. So that means you can stop trying to glare a hole into my forehead thank you very much" he said turning his own glaring gaze towards his father.

Harry stood up and walked over towards James and held up his left hand in front of his fathers face. "Is this enough prove to put your jealous and wondering mind at a rest? Because I'm honestly, not trying to steal your girl from under you nose."

He added as an after thought “Besides red heads are just not my thing, never have been and never will be. My fiancée has brown hair." ‘And I'm not into incest either’ Harry thought to himself. Harry smirked and shook his head as he went back over to his own bed and lay back with his hands behind his head still smirking.

Hedwig suddenly flutter onto James's shoulder. James was stunned he had been more then put in his place, and on top of that the guy’s owl had taken a shine to him and was using his shoulder as a perch not that he minded she was an incredibly beautiful owl.

He looked over at Harry and was rewarded with a raised dark brow in question. James asked "So I presume you’re gay?” Harry shook his and replied “Nope I'm a bisexual as is my fiancée as well.”

Harry added "My owl seems to have taken a likening to you, she every fussy about who she trusts enough to sit so close to them your very lucky."

Lily and the others laughed and looked at the amused expression on James's face. Lily made her way over to James and sat beside him and joined him in stroking Hedwig's feathers. Lily said dreamily "Your owl is gorgeous."

Sirius turned to Ron "So who is the lucky guy or girl that snagged you?" was what Sirius asked his tone of voice revealing his jealousy of the mystery person who unknowingly happened to be himself.

Ron smirked "Well he is nearly twenty years old then me but he is still incredibly sexy" Ron had said teasingly winking at Sirius. Sirius sighed "Your gay then?” Ron shook his head “No I'm bisexual; I like to play with both genders as does my fiancée" was Ron's reply.

Peter turned to Hermione and Ginny "What about you two have you two got anyone special?" Peter asked. Hermione and Ginny grinned at each other. "Yeah we've got each other" was Ginny's reply.

Hermione added "And no we are not lesbians we liked to date both genders until we got together last year." Lily laughed "I don't believe it; it looks like were all bisexuals in this room." Harry hid his shock well as he thought 'No wonder I'm into both genders so were my parents'

Remus asked "How come you've all transferred here from an American school?" Ron explained first "Well me and my sister Ginny attended an American school like are brothers had. Our parents came here when they were students, but since Voldermort had started causing trouble they feared for our safety."

Ginny added "Our parents decided since it's our last year and I and Ron hated the school in America they decided to allow us to finish our last year where they went to school."

Hermione added her part to the untruth they were weaving here. "And I'm a muggle born both of my parents are muggles. I had no idea I was even a witch until I got my acceptance letter. I hated it at the school in America, seeing as for the last six years I've put up with being called a mudblood, I guess most of the pure blooded families didn't take to kindly to me being a muggle born.”

She also added “I also didn't want to be parted from my best friends and girl friend, so Ginny's parents arranged with my parents and Dumbledore for me to attend Hogwarts with the others."

Now it was Harry's turn to added his own part, part of what he would tell them would be true without giving anything away. He hated lying, but he had to take into consideration about what Dumbledore had said about changing the future as they knew it.

"My parents were murdered in front of me when I was one; Voldemort killed them I managed to survive for some reason. So I had to go and live with my mother’s sister who like their parents was muggles.”

He paused before continuing “My mother was the only witch in her family, she was a muggle born. So as I was saying I had to go and live with my aunt and her husband. They treated me badly they knew of my magical heritage but lied to me and told me my father killed himself and my mother in a car crash and that I survived. They told me he was drunk at the time and was an alcoholic. Naturally it was all a load of bullshit.

He paused once more and sighed, hating to have to bring up memories he would have sooner left alone. He said “I never knew I was a wizard until I was eleven, I only found out magic existed when I got my acceptance letter which at first they refused to give me until someone from the school came and took me away and told me everything.”

Harry smiled slightly and said “He took me to get my uniform and equipment. After that I was given my train ticket and told what platform I needed to be on and what day the train left for school I was then sent back to my relatives until school started. He was really nice, the first of my kind I had met, and the first to treat me like a human being, instead of a freak of nature.”

He went on “I also hated the school, the only reason I got though it was because I met Ron, Hermione and Ginny. My god father who had been friends with my parents gave me permission and sorted it out with Dumbledore. He then took me to get my equipment and uniform with the money in vault that my parents left me.”

Harry shook his head and commented with evident disgust “My relatives didn't care as long as I was gone and didn't have to see me until the summer holidays which I only spent three weeks of with them.” He added with a small smile “I spent the rest with Ron and his family."

Lily was close to tears while James and the others members of the Marauder's were shocked and horrified. How could another human being treat another so poorly and with such hatred? Remus felt ill and enraged that anyone had even dared to treat Harry in such a fashion.
