Chapter 2
The six boys all ran through the woods until they reached the edge where James, Sirius, Remus and Peter changed back into themselves.
"It shouldn't take much longer for you to change back, and then we can go into town," Sirius told the two. They both nodded their heads; they all started to walk toward the Whomping willow. Fred grinned when he felt his mouth becoming human again along with the rest of his body.
"Way cool," George announced feeling his face.
"Mass better than those beards," Fred laughed. George laughed with him. The other four looked at them curiously.
"Tri-wizard tournament," Fred explains with a wicked grin. The four boys immediately went to asking about it.
"They haven't done that in many years, what was it like?" James and Sirius said as one.
"Wicked cool especially since your son's name was placed in it even though he was under age and then won the whole thing,"
"And fought against He who must not be named and won again," George chuckled pleased.
George and Fred stop to look behind them. The four boys were standing with their mouths hung open.
"My son did what?" James finally manages to say.
They looked back at them with big grins.
"It was so cool he won a thousand galleons, prize money and faced a horntail and beat the other three easily with his Firebolt,"
"A what?" Sirius asked imagining James son throwing fireballs at someone. He really liked that idea.
"It's the best broom ever," George told them.
"Wow, my son, but who put his name in if he was too young?" James asked puzzled.
"He did I bet," Remus laughed, "You would have,"
"True, true," James agreed. "So did he?"
"Nah, not for lack of wanting to but the age line Dumbledore set up was a powerful one, that's how we got our beards. We leaped in it tossed us out with long white beards,"
The four boys laughed at the thought.
"So who did do it?" Remus asked curiously.
"A Death Eater who was using polyjuice potion, he did it to get Harry to his master, he who cannot be named."
"My son," James asked horrified. He couldn't imagine his son having to face dragons and who knows what in a tournament he would have gladly entered into.
Then something else occurred to him.
"He fought Voldermort?" James was sure he didn't hear that right.
"Yeah he's beat him a fair few times too," Fred told him sounding proud.
"Wow way to go Harry," Sirius sounded very proud.
"A chip off the old block," Remus agreed.
"I bet we were there cheering him on," Sirius commented pleased.
The twins looked at each other but said nothing else. How could you tell someone one was dead the other was wanted for murder?
"So are we going to town?" George asked not wanting to mention that James was dead. Sirius was one the run and they had no idea about Remus and knew Peter was with Voldermort somewhere. They really wanted away from this conversation.
"Yeah let's get going," Remus agreed. They turned to look at the Whomping Willow. The four were boys marching toward it.
"We can't get by there," Fred pointed out remembering the branch that had knocked him for a loop literally.
