James looked at the parchment in Fred's hand and tried to clear his head. His legacy. Being passed down to his son.
Lily saw his expression and grinned, but hoped inwardly that her son wouldn't become a heavy rule breaker like his father. Somehow though, she felt there was little chance of that happening..
"And what do I need with a bit of old parchment?" Harry asked.
James looked horrified.
"A bit of old parchment?!" said Fred, voicing James own thoughts.
"Lily! Your son is a stupid fool!"
"I know, but... Well, he's your son after all" said Lily. James rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, that's kind of why I'm not going back to earth to steal the map back." He said.
"You can't go back to earth."
James was going to reply when he heard the words that he used to utter, once upon a time.
"I solemnly swear I am up to no good." Lines began to spread across the parchment, and as they watched words formed. Words that they knew only too well, words that they had created to appear, his legacy being passed down to his son.
His son was following his footsteps- in a good way. James couldn't have been prouder.
Messrs Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs
Purveyors of aids to magical mischief makers
Are proud to present
The Marauder's Map
"Wormtail." Lily hissed.
"You do realize everyone thinks Sirius did it right?" James voice seethed with anger.
"I know James, we've talked about this a million times. There's nothing we can do"
"I know, but how are you not angry?"
Lily faced him. "I am, more than you think. But I let go of it. Sirius will be proved innocent. I know him, and Dumbledore and the others well enough for that"
James hoped so, too.
Instead of answering, he turned his attention to Harry, who was now in hogsmeade. He, Ron and Hermione were listening to the ministers talk.
"-A crater in the middle of the street, so deep that it had cracked the sewer below. Bodies everywhere. Muggles screaming. And Black standing there laughing, with what left of pettigrew in front of him"
"Impossible.." James whispered. How could they ever believe this! "He would never do it, to pettigrew maybe, once he found out, but to muggles.."
"And laugh on top of that..." Lily shook her head.
-Yet I met Black on my last inspection of azkaban. You know, most of the prisoners lose their senses after a while... But I was shocked at how normal Black seemed." They heard Fudge saying.
"That's because he didn't do anything wrong, fudging- pants" said James through gritted teeth. Even lily looked amused at the nickname.
"But what has he broken out for?"
"To break your bones. What d'you think the bloody man's broken out for?" Lily practically screamed.
James smiled almost evilly. "For revenge."
