Being Harry James Potter-Lupin


After Albus had conjured the necessary documents, such as birth certificates and a marriage licence and certificate. He handed the complete documents to James for safe keeping.

It was then Sirius’s turn to be changed. Albus pointed is wand at Sirius. A yellow glow surrounded Sirius, while the others watched the transformation rapidly overtake Sirius’s handsome features.

A minute later the yellow glow disappeared, leaving behind the completely transformed Sirius. Lily felt her jaw become slack at the sight of her husband. She placed a hand over her mouth and eyed her husband in disbelief.

Sirius took in his wife’s expression and asked “Lil love, is it that bad?” Lily couldn’t answer him and merely shook her head. Sirius was by now starting to become more then a tad paranoid.

Sirius turned to face James and Remus and asked “Come on, you guys honestly, is it that bad?” Remus spoke up first and cleared her throat before asking, there was a slight smirk on her face. “Tell me Padfoot how did you like the colour of my hair in my original form?”

Sirius blinked and replied “You mean my hair is now golden brown?” James smirked and added “Exactly, the exact same shade as Remy’s had been.” He paused and his smirk widened, taking on a wicked edge, as he asked “Is there suddenly a draft upon your neck by any chance, Padfoot?”

Sirius froze and slowly lifted his hand to his neck, noting as he did that his skin tone was now paler and creamy compared to his own darker tanned skin.

Sirius touched his neck and was horrified to feel his bare neck instead of thick and soft luxurious locks. He turned to Albus and spluttered in horror “You took my long hair, Merlin, how short is it?”

Albus couldn’t answer, as he was trying really, really hard to not smile at the expression of pure horror on the younger wizards newly transformed features. Minerva answered instead and told him. “It is as short as James’s own hair, although your hair is slightly wavy.”

Sirius moaned and looked about ready to burst into tears. He looked truly mournful. Albus explained “I’m sorry Sirius, but I’m afraid it had to be done. You need to get a job in the muggle world, and unfortunately employers don’t look too highly upon on young or older men with long hair. It is said to be a sign of being scruffy and lazy, where as it is part of fashion in the wizarding world.”

Sirius growled irritably “I’m really, really starting to dislike Muggles. They are so god damn up tight and have a stick shoved up their arses, the bloody lot of them.”

Lily exclaimed indignantly “Hey! My parents and my sister are and were muggles.” Sirius snorted and replied “Your parents were the one true exception.” He added around a sneer “As for your sister, don’t get me started, as she is the prefect example of what I’m taking about, when I say muggles are stuck up and have sticks shoved up their arses, thank you very much.”

Lily huffed, knowing he was right about her sister Petunia. She just hated it when her husband would point it out. She grumbled “By the way your blue eyes are gone, they’re now bright hazel, just like James’s had been.”

Sirius nodded and asked “What about my features, the rest has been changed, meaning I’m not fool enough to think my features have escaped the process?”

James answered him “Your nose is slightly smaller, longer, and I think it maybe even slightly pointed at the end.” He added at Sirius’s raised eyebrow. “Also your lips are less full then they had been but not by a lot.”

Remus added “Your chin and jaw line are less pronounced then previously. And finally your cheek bones are a little less high then they had been. But overall it is not unpleasant combination. Of course your features are not in the league of your own features.”

Sirius asked “yeah right, but I’m still considered hot, just not as hot, right?” Lily snorted and grumbled “You and your blasted vanity. Yes you’re still very handsome, just not drop dead gorgeous.”

Remus asked “Albus how come you’ve lowered the standards of our men’s looks?” Lily added “Not that they’re both not still very handsome, but before, they both were without a doubt gorgeous.”

Albus replied “Because neither of you can afford to draw too much attention to yourselves. This means a slight lower grade of appearance.” Both Albus and Minerva looked apologetically and sympathetically at the others.

Sirius asked “So this means your also about to make my wife’s features less stunning, and just pretty instead?” He added quickly at his wife’s reproachful look. “Not that you’re not stunning either way you look, but Lil currently your beyond stunning. It’s a crime to lower the standards of that beauty.”

Lily flushed and playfully slapped him and said “Alright you flatterer. Now you need to get that voice of yours altered. It’s more then a little strange to hear my husband taking, but not actually seeing him.”

Sirius mocked moaned “Oh my manly voice is about to be destroyed, oh the humanity of it.” James, Remus and Lily had to stifle the urge to rip up with laughter or else wake the sleeping children.

Albus quietly chuckled as he aimed his wand at Sirius’s throat and cast the spell required. Soon the tell tale blue glow that proved it was working surrounded Sirius’s throat, before fading out completely.

Sirius cleared his throat and said “Well, farewell my manly and sexy voice, we shall meet again someday.” James and Remus sniggered at this, while Lily stifled a giggle behind her hand.

Sirius shrugged and said “Not bad, not to high or to low, in between it would seem. Of course it hasn’t got anything on my own manly and sexy voice.” He gave a mock put upon sigh, and said “Oh well, I guess it will have to do. Its only for ten years, I guess I’ll deal.”

Lily looked thoughtful as she said “Brandon Michael, definitely.” Sirius sighed and nodded as he said “Very well, if you insist. Now it’s your turn.” He looked up at Albus and said jokingly “Do your worst Professor.”

Lily playfully smacked her husband for the umpteenth time in the last twenty minutes. Sirius mock glared and said “There’s child abuse, but what about spouse abuse?” Lily stuck her tongue out at him, causing him to snort and roll his now hazel eyes at her.

Albus shook his head at their antics, his bright blue eyes twinkling like crazy. He then pointed his wand at Lily, thinking how she would look as a blond, as he did.

Soon Lily was surrounded in the yellow glow before it disappeared a minute later. Everyone took in her new appearance. Sirius was eyeing is wife in wonder and more then a little lust. He greatly approved, although he did prefer her original appearance.

His wife was now drastically altered. He noted her honey coloured blond hair, that reached just above her elbows, and where as her hair had been wavy, it was now completely straight and sleek.

He also noticed her pale creamy skin had been replaced with a golden sun kissed glow. Her eyes, which he knew he was going to miss dearly, were now a deep and warm shade of chocolate brown.

The others took in her new features. Higher cheek bones, fuller lips a small and pointy nose, almost pixy like. She looked lovely, just not as stunning as she had looked with her own features and red hair and green eyes.

Sirius nodded and said “You look beautiful, really beautiful.” Lily smiled slightly revealing her new smile. She commented jokingly “But not stunning like before.” Sirius looked pained not wanting to offend his wife. Lily held up her hand, giving her husband some slack and said “Its ok Siri, I’m not offended. I knew my looks would be drastically altered.”

She asked Albus “So you are you going to change my voice now?” Albus lifted his wand but Sirius held up a hand and asked “Would you wait a minute please, I just need a moment?”

Lily looked at her husband with a sad and sympathetic smile and gently squeezed his hand comfortingly. Sirius shot is wife a sad but grateful smile of thanks. She told him “It’ll be alright I promise. It is only until the children go to Hogwarts.”

Sirius reluctantly nodded and gestured with his hand for Albus to go a head. Albus sighed, hating that this needed to be done. But if he didn’t then the whole lot of them would surely be hounded by the press, little Harry, now Jason, especially.

Albus pointed his wand at Lily’s throat and cast the spell he had on the others. Once the blue glow surrounding her voice had disappeared she spoke up and said “Well, that’s finally gone and done it.”

Her voice was slightly lower then it had been and not as light as Sirius and others were accustomed to. Sirius was truly mournful of this fact. He then looked to his daughter and cringed. Merlin what would happen to his baby girl. God did he hate this with a passion.

He supposed he better choose a new name for his Lily. He sighed and looked at his wife; he then nodded and said “Melissa Rose. Meaning you can still have a name of a flower.”

Lily smiled at her husband gently and nodded her consent. She then looked down at their daughter, before sharing a pained glance with her husband.

Sirius and Lily looked up at Albus and nodded. Albus returned the nod. He sighed as he pointed the wand at a sleeping Hermione. Lily cringed as the yellow glow surrounded her precious little girl.

Sirius couldn’t take his eyes off of his daughter, as the last he would see of Lily for the next ten years rapidly melted away. He swallowed hard when the glow ceased and all that was left was the new version of his and Lily’s baby girl.

They all took in the jaw length wavy golden brown hair and sun kissed glow of her skin. Her features matched Lily’s. She looked like Brandon and Melissa’s daughter, and not Sirius and Lily Black’s.

Sirius asked Albus “What colour eyes?” Albus lowered his head slightly and replied “Hazel, the same as your own.” Both Sirius and Lily nodded.

Sirius and Lily exchanged a tearful glance. Sirius choked out “Merlin Lil, I never thought I’d ever ask you just again, at least not in regards to our Hermione. But what do you wanna call her?”

Lily wiped away a tear from her brown eyes and replied “I like Emma, what about you?” Sirius eyed his daughter and replied “Louise, it definitely holds promise, even if it isn’t Hermione or Jane.” Lily nodded and said “In that case, how about Emma Louise?” Sirius nodded and replied “Emma Louise it is then.”

James spoke up quietly and gently, knowing exactly how painful this was for his two friends. He and Remus had just endured the same thing, hell his husband was now his wife. But it seemed he and Remus was just better at hiding it. At least the glamour hid his son’s newly gained scar.

“You guys are going to need a last name and Lily will need a different maiden name for the documents.” Remus nodded sympathetically and added “I realise this isn’t easy, but it needs to be done you guys. Trust me when I say we’ll somehow get though this together.”

Lily and Sirius nodded looking at their best friends gratefully. They realised that the other couple had it worse then they did. Their son would be the most famous boy in the world when he finally turned eleven and would have to deal with the press. Then there was the fact Remus was now Mina.

Sirius said “How about White as a last name?” Lily nodded and replied “Yeah, its fine. I’m going to go with Kensington as a maiden name.” Sirius nodded.

Albus conjured the required documents. Officially making them Brandon and Melissa White and Emma White. Well, at least official in the muggle world. They would always be Sirius and Lily Black and Hermione Black in the wizarding world.
