Harry Potter: Shadows of Tomorrow

The Marauders sat deep in thought as the screen paused, each waiting to see who will talk first.

"Should we discuss the negative parts of what we just saw then work on the positives?" Lilly suggested

"Fine" Sirius agreed "let's talk about how I'm going to kill Wormtail"

"Not if I beat you to it" Remus growled

"Guys let's forget Wormtail for now" James spoke slowly "we can't do much about him yet, let's focus on Harry"

"Fine" Sirius mumbled before continuing "I'm just glad I got to spend time with him, the kid got me out of Azkaban. He might just be the best thing ever to have happened to me, he's brilliant, don't know how he your son James" James chuckled at the last part

"He's relationship with Ginny also seems to be improving" Remus noted "I can't believe they're actually planning to soul bond"

"Maybe we should do it as well Lil" James joked "but I'm amazed at how protective he is of her. I mean he nearly killed that blonde git when he insulted, and the fact that he so powerful is just mind boggling"

"I know" Lilly added "at least we don't have to worry about his safety. On a happier note, even I'm proud of how he dealt with Lockhart"

Oh yeah" Sirius burst into laughs again "so many bloody beautiful pranks"

"The truth serum was also a stroke of genius" Remus commented "it even made the Granger girl admit he was an idiot"

"The girl is giving witches like me a bad name" Lilly looked furious "I don't know what she's planning with my son but I hope she doesn't succeed" The group continued watching

Harry had spent the summer training both magically and physically, he had started adding push ups, sit ups, squats and pull ups amongst other things into his workout. Before he would just run but he decided that he should look his best and if it helps him then it's a bonus. Harry also spent some time with Sirius, who eventually introduced him to Remus Lupin.

Remus felt very relieved when Harry told him he didn't care if he was a werewolf, the three became very close when they would tell him stories about their school year or when Harry told them about his own. Either way the three ended up in stitches, Remus then told him how Dumbledore convinced him to be the new defence against the dark arts professor, Harry and he discussed the fact that the position was cursed. Harry had all of Voldermorts memories up until the point when he had tried to kill Harry as a baby, but he didn't tell Remus that. Eventually the two agreed that if Remus simply changed the class name to defence class then it should be fine.

Harry had also visited the Burrow occasionally; he knew Mrs Weasley would no longer try to spike his food because he had managed to convince her of his loyalty to the light side. Admittedly she was a great cook, Harry had spent some time with the twins and Ginny remembering old pranks or discussing new ones. He and Ginny also discussed the soul bond in great detail and improved her mind barriers, she was good but Dumbledore could still get in if he put in a lot of effort.

Ron naturally challenged Harry to a game of chess as soon as he entered the house, Mr Weasley was at work while Mrs Weasley was in the kitchen whilst everyone else was in the living room. Harry and Ron battled in their chess game, the twins and Ginny were routing for Harry, even Percy was routing for him. They all knew how smug Ron was when he won at chess, they were glad someone was able to put him in his place.

"Checkmate" Harry said after winning his second game in a row, he noticed George sliding some money over to Fred after he won

"How do you do that?" Ron spoke with disbelief

"Simple, I picked the pieces up with my hand then I moved them to where I wanted them to go"

"Don't play dumb" Ron roared

"Yes Harry you don't need to act like Ron" Ginny commented, causing the twins to laugh and Harry awarding her with a quick kiss. Ron looked away and looked at the twins

"Are you two seriously okay with that?!" Ron couldn't believe their lack of reactions

"Well Ronnikins" Fred started

"As far as we see it" George continued

"The love birds"

"are quite happy, so"

"we won't get involved, we trust Harry"

"Not to hurt our sister"

"plus we couldn't do anything even if he did"

"I love you two too" Harry grinned

"But she's too young to date" Ron argued, looking around for Percy to back him up, however Percy had left when the twin talk started

"Ron you'd be saying that when she's twenty" George replied

"Yeah" Fred agreed "Ginny can do whatever she wants"

"And as long as she's happy"

"We don't see what the problem is"

"Mum and dad approve"

"So does Charlie, though we expect that's all those years working with dragons has taught him"

"When to back off, Percy's fine with it"

"Probably because mum is"

"Bill also approves" Ron huffed and walked off, he knew there was no way he could win this argument.

"Thanks guys, that means a lot" Ginny smiled

"Not a problem" Fred smiled

"Anything for our favourite sister"

"She's your only sister" Harry reminded them

"That just makes choosing easier" The twins replied, later everyone got ready and flooed to Diagon alley to get the supplies for the next year at Hogwarts. They met Sirius over there, it was the first time the Weasleys had met Sirius. Percy was formal as always, Molly and Ron were a bit nervous; the former hid it much better. The twins were fan boying over meeting the legendary Marauder Padfoot, Ginny and Sirius loved each other.
