Harry's Second Chance

16 years backward p2

October 31st
James and Lily Potter woke up on the day they dreaded the most. The day they were destined to die. Fear and uncertainty filled there hearts. Sitting quietly at the table, waiting for Dumbledore to arrive.
"Lily?" James asked quietly.
"Yes James?" she answered, looking curiously at her husband. "Voldemort's supposed to go to our home in Grodric's Hallow ." he said quietly. She sighed.
"We've gotten all his horcruxs destroyed. Dumbledore said he would be able to get rid of him." She muttered hopefully. James nodded
"Harry told us so, so we should have faith that our son was right and that this will work." James said, pride covered his face, knowing his son had planned this. "Do you think Peter wanted to do this to us?" she whispered. Uncertainty crossed James' face. "I don't know Lils, he never striked me as the type to go and join Voldemort, but alas, he has done so." He muttered sadly. "And we protected that git, made sure he became a part of the gang. If only we knew this would have happened in our first year." He groaned. Lily laughed. James narrowed his eyes at her. "What's so funny?" he asked. Watching the amused look on his wife's face. "I just remembered in school, you asked me out everyday, every year." She giggled. James groaned again. "Yeah because you kept saying no, you could have saved your breath and said yes." He smirked. She sighed, and laid her head on his chest. "Yeah, but I hated you remember?" she asked. He flinched. "Yeah you made that evident." he said, " never would have thought we'd be married, and have Harry, but we do, and I wouldn't have it any other way."
He smiled at her, Lily giggled, "Well I never thought I'd fall in love with you, but look what happened." The started laughing. They sat there in each others arms, reminiscing the old days, only to be interrupted by,
"Da! Ma!" coming from Harry's 'room'. They jumped up and ran to him. "Harry you said... we heard... awesome!" they applauded the small boy. Lily lifted him up and cradled him go her chest. "Harry you're so precious." She cooed.
"Mama!" he giggled. Tears formed in Lily Potter's eyes, "Yes that's right Harry I'm your Mum!" she murmured, hugging her son.
"Come on Prongslet, who am I?" James asked, taking the raven haired boy from his mother. "Dada!" the boy let out hysterical laughter.
After an hour of playing with Harry, a white light appeared, "A Patronus!" James muttered. "Albus' Patronus is a Phoenix!" Lily exclaimed, as the message Dumbledore wished to give them started.
--My dear friends, you're life is in no more peril, for Voldemort is gone, and this time he will not come back. People believe it is you who destroyed him, since you're house has been destroyed, and that is where his body lays, you will all be famous for this, Live a long and happy life Lily and James Potter.--
As the voice faded, Lily bursts into tears. James sat there awestruck, "He's gone? We, We're safe?" he was astonished. "James! We live! Harry was right."

2 months later. December 23rd.
"James come on!" Lily yelled. She's been trying to get him up for half an hour. "If you don't come on we're leaving without you!" she yelled again. This time she heard a loud thump. Good! she thought.
"Alright Harry are you ready to go see Padfoot?" she asked. At this the little boys face lit up. "See Pafoo! See Pafoo!" he giggled. She smiled scooping him up. "And Moony?" she asked. Again the small child grew excited. "See Mooey! See Mooey!" she laughed at this, kissing his head. "Go get daddy." she laughed steering him down. Watching as he squealed after his dad.
"Ah Harry no!" James yelled dramatically. Lily laughed walking up the stairs, to find her son sitting on her husband. "See Pafoo!" Harry yelled smacking him on the head. "Lily save me!" he cried out in fake terror. She giggled. "Did you get him good Harry?" she asked, picking up her small son. "Yep." he giggled. This had both his parents laughing. "James hurry we are going to see Padfoot. He said he has something important to tell us." His smile fell. And confusion covered his face. "Since when is Sirius, serious?" he asked. Lily rolled her eyes. "Just come on."
He groaned and rolled over. Fifteen minutes later he was dressed and ready to go.
"Okay I'm ready. Are we flooing or aparating?" he asked. Lily looked at him in disbelief. "Flooing of course! Harry is to young to aparate!" she said in a disapproving tone. James shook his head. "Oh yeah. I forgot." He muttered. "Alright lets go." He wrapped his arm gently around Lily an yelled. "Padfoot's House!" with a quick burst of flames they were gone.
They opened their eyes to see the den of Sirius Black's house.
"PADFOOT!" James yelled. Lily laughed. "PAFOO!" Harry mimicked his father. James picked Harry up and said "That a boy!" just as Sirius walked around the corner, looking paler than ever. "What's wrong Padfoot?" James and Lily asked in unison. Sirius just looked down at his feet. "Well, remember when we visited your Aunt Cecilia and your cousin Emiley?" he asked James sheepishly. James chuckled. "Yeah you had the biggest crush on Emiley!" Sirius smiled a all smile. Lily laughed. "Oh Sirius what have you done? We visited that girl right before we found out I was pregnant with Harry." Sirius sighed. "Yeah, um well, Prongs don't kill me, but I um, kindahadababywithyourcousin." he mumbled the rest to were nobody could understand him. "Sorry what was that Padfoot?" James asked. Sirius eyes him carefully. "I kinda had a baby with your cousin." he said in a small voice. "What!" James bellowed. Lily gasped. "She's like 6 years younger than you Sirius!" she scolded. James handed Harry to Lily. "I can't believe you knocked my cousin up. My little cousin at that!" he fumed. Lily nodded. "Sirius what were you thinking? How could you be so irresponsible?" he sighed, putting his head in his hands. "I don't know guys." He said. Just then a small woman walked in with a small child. Her dark red hair, and her hazel eyes. "James?" she asked. He walked over to her. "Emiley! Tell me he's joking." He plead. She nodded. "I'm sorry James, but its true." She said looking down at the baby in her arms. A boy none the less, "What is his name?" he asked. The child was a little smaller than his own son. "Sirius James Black." she whispered. "For my favorite cousin, and his daddy." she said in a small voice. James heart started pounding. She named her child after me? he thought. Lily smiled walking up with Harry in her arms. "Well he is adorable." She said. Emiley smiled. "Thank you Lily! Ah Harry has gotten so big. Hi Harry." she smiled. Harry hid under his mother's hair shyly. "Harry this is your cousin Emiley, and you little cousin Sirius." Harry peeked out of his mother's hair. "Pafoo?" he asked. They laughed. "Padfoot is his daddy." She explained. He just looked at her. "Where Pafoo?" he asked. Sirius laughed and walked over to his Godson. "Right her Prongslet." He said pulling Harry to him.
"So how long were you planning on keeping this from us?" James asked. The young man looked at his feet. "I just found out Prongs." He murmured. "What? Are you serious? You never told him?" he began to raise his voice. Emiley took a step back. "I I wasn't aloud." She cried. James' face changed from anger to guilt. "Oh, I'm sorry, why couldn't you tell him?" he demanded. "James." Lily called to him in a soft voice. He turned. "Yes love?" he asked. "Don't raise your voice in front of Harry ,or Sirius Jr. And calm down, what's happened, happened and you can't change it. You can only accept it. He's your best friend, and that's your little cousin, and now you have a new little cousin." She reasoned. He nodded. "I'm sorry Padfoot, Emiley." he apologized, taking his son from his friend. Who picked up his own son. "Oh these two will be trouble makers for sure in the future." James laughed. Lily nodded. "Looks like their is a fourth the Harry's future trio." Lily giggled. "How old is he?" she asked. Sirius looked at Emiley who smiled and said "He is 11 months old. So that makes him how many months younger than Harry?"
She asked. Lily laughed "Like 7 months." Sirius frowned. "They won't be in the same year." Sirius whined. Then he and James smiled their mischievous smiles. "Why are you two smiling like that?" Emiley asked. Lily groaned. "Oh no they've planned something." James and Sirius laughed. "CHRISTMAS SHOPPING!!!" They yelled in unison.
"James don't forget Tatumn." Lily said.
"Oh right. Um what do you get little girls?" He asked. Lily smiled.
"She is six months old. James, just try not to get anything that will annoy Remus and Tonks too much." She giggled.
