-2 months later-

"James, darling, is Sirius and Diana coming with us as well or just Remus!" My mother said coming down the stairs and fixing her pearls. She stopped and looked at me sitting on the couch. "Aw my dapper boy is going to his last year of hogwarts." Mum said and came towards me wrapping me in a hug.

"You look like a zombie." I heard my father say in the distance, "I just came from a night at the Diggory's." I heard a familiar voice say, "3 squealing babies and one sobbing toddler doesn't make you sleep through the night." Remus said and my mother pulled away.

"Remus you look so handsome." My mother said and hugged him. "So it's triplets from Molly? Wow, what's re their names again?" My father asked and Remus and I answered at the same time, "Bill, Charlie, and Percy." And My father nodded. "In that order, sir." Remus added and my father hugged him.

My mum looked as she was going to cry staring at our trunks next to each other. "You're of age in the wizarding world, you're men." She said and her eyes filled with tears. "You've both made me so proud and I want you both to know how much I love you." She said and hugged Remus and I as my father began to grab our trunks to bring to that car.

"I have to give you advice now before we go so I don't embarrass you at the platform." My mum said adjusting her make up and Remus and I shared a look.

"I need you to lose all of your filters right this instant. You have an Angel on your shoulder named Diana who's made your pranks rather tame and I want that to end." My mother said and Remus' jaw dropped.

"Jamie, you're head boy you can get away with whatever shit they pull. Remus John Lupin you are a natural cassanova so when you aren't making kissy faces at Sirius I need you charm people. And so help me Merlin if you are caught with rat boy I will tell Minnie to remove you from quidditch." My mum said and we nodded.

"Your father, the sap I married, will probably give you love advice but I just need you all to use the nerve you haven't in your last year." My mum said and I smiled. "Now go before I decide to home school you." My mum said and pushed us out the door so she could give my Father time with us.

We walked out the front door and into the car, "Remus I'll pay you if you get my son to use product." Was the first thing my dad said as we entered the car. "So that's what's your life changing advice dad?" I asked him.

"No. But here it is." He then took a moment to cough.

"Never let anything get in the way or stop you from being with the person you love and don't you dare wait to tell them." My father said and it visibly impacted him. He then went on to talk Remus into telling me to take care of my looks and my brain kept repeating a thought.

"You haven't talked to her about your feelings or why she lied to you about why she wanted us to be a secret in 3 months you fucking dumbass."

And soon enough Remus nudged me to signal we made it to Kings Cross station. We took our trunks and our owls before walking to the platform with my mum and dad. We noticed that Peter wasn't anywhere to be seen which was odd as he would always wait for us but it's probably nothing.

My mum pulled me into a hug before walking a separate direction and said, "You have my approval and your father's approval to marry that girl. Gain the nerve first, son. I love you." And with that we were off.

✨🪄🔮🪄✨

"So how are you and Ranger?" Remus asked me as we walked to out compartment. "How are you and Padfoot?" I asked him in response. "Fucks sake, James I know-" and I cut him off. "And I know as well." I said jokingly and he gave me a death glare.

"Bastard." I heard him say and smiled. "I would call you a son of a Bitch but your mum is a milf." Remus spoke. "Thank you- Wait!" I said and Remus laughed.

"Where are our lovers?" Remus asked. "SO YOU ADMIT IT!" I screamed and then clasped my hands over my mouth. "Thanks Prongs, love the inconspicuousness mate." Remus said and patted my shoulder before sitting down.

"So where are Sirius and Diana?" I asked Remus sitting across from him. "I don't know. If you hear screaming it means they are on board I guess." Remus said shuffling in his seat. "So head boy huh?" Remus asked.

"Yeah, I'm thrilled." I said smiling, I never thought I'd actually get it. "And Evans is head girl?" Remus asked and suddenly my girlfriend and her dog popped into the compartment door frame. "Don't you ever utter that sentence again, Mooney." She said and Sirius pinched his nose beside her.

"Merlin, Moony the words she said when she got the pin was that Evans could suck it so I'd watch your tongue." Sirius said and sat down next to Remus.

"I'd rather you watch it for me, Sirius." Remus said, and the Casanova of Gryffindor has returned. Fuck boy Remus is my favorite Remus at this point. "I- um so how was your morning." Sirius sat down next to Remus and asked me. Diana took the seat next to me and as a reflex my arm went over her shoulder.

"Good, Mr Potter told me to make sure James does his hair so he isn't a disappointment." Remus answered and Diana laughed. "Your dad's hot." She said. Sirius burst out laughing.

"Merlin, what is wrong with people today?" I said and placed my hands over my eyes. "What?" She asked. "Moony wants to fuck my mom and Ranger said my father was hot." I said and Sirius just fell over laughing.

"I hope you age like him James because oh Merlin the things I would- it's not important." Diana started and then crossed her legs and fixed her skirt. She's not getting away with that comment later. "Merlin, Ranger." I said laughed it off.

"Where's Wormtail?" Sirius asked looking around. "I don't know and if I'm being honest I don't miss him." Diana said and we just stared at her. "Sorry but one day your gonna realize he only ever followed you three around and stared at you." She said and Remus nodded and laughed.

"Damn, so you never liked him!" Sirius asked. "The boy's animagus is a rat and I'm not friends with Snitches." Diana said and I laughed. "I'll remember that, Ranger." I said and nodded and she turned to me while Sirius and Remus were distracted and winked.
