A passing Medi-witch fixed him with a glare at his loud voice.
"It's going to be next to impossible now to get Harry away from Severus. WCS will most likely award Severus and Lily joint custody of Harry."
"Maybe, we can find some dirt on both of them," Sirius said. "Snivellus is friends with Malfoy and he's a Death Eater. That's got to be ground for being unfit to have custody."
"He wouldn't have been able to adopt Harry if that were the case," Albus pointed out. Although he trusted Sirius implicitly he felt it was better if he didn't know that Lucius was a double agent and the source of the Order's best information.
"Where's Lily staying? If she's shacked up with Snivellus that would be grounds for denying her custody."
"She isn't. Minerva gave her quarters on the fourth floor by the staircase leading up to Ravenclaw Tower. And since she's apprenticing under Filius; I don't have the authority to evict her."
The healer came out of James room. Both Albus and Sirius stood. "How's James?" Sirius asked.
"You'll be glad to hear your friend is finally conscious, but you can only see him for a few minutes."
Sirius all but bolted into James' room. "Prongs!"
James looked up and smiled. "Padfoot! I'm sure glad to see a familiar face and you too, Albus. What the hell happened to me? Did I get hurt in a Death Eater raid?"
"No …what's the last thing you remember, Prongs?"
James is silent for moment concentrating and then suddenly his eyes widened. "You-Know-Who was at the door. I ran for my wand and grabbed it up, but he was suddenly inside the house. I tried to disarm him with Expelliarmus, but he got the drop on me and …I don't remember anything after that."
"That's because he killed you, James," Dumbledore said. "You've been dead for ten years and came back through the Veil on Halloween night. It's now 1991."
James laughed weakly. "This is a joke, right Padfoot?"
"No. Albus is telling you the truth, Prongs. Peter betrayed us; he's a Death Eater. He gave your location to You-Know-Who."
"No way, Padfoot. Peter's a Marauder! He would never betray us! It was Snivellus. I kept telling Lily not to write to that bloody, dark ass, Death Eater, but she wouldn't listen to me!"
"It gets worse, Prongs! That same bloody, dark ass, Death Eater adopted Harry and refuses to allow him to fulfill the prophecy and kill You-Know-Who. Lily came back through the Veil too and she's siding with Snivellus!"
"What!" James yelled, but he was unable to get any more information as the healer came back in and ordered Sirius and Albus to leave.
Saturday morning Lily and Cissa took Harry and Draco shopping. Both Cissa and Draco wore a glamor charms. They're first stop was at a new store that had recently opened called 'Young Wizards of Fashion Station'. Although Harry had all the clothes his dad had bought him in September, he stood patiently while Lily held shirts in front of him and discussed with his Aunt Cissa whether the color or style looked good on him. Draco stood nearby looking sympathetic. After coming out of the store loaded with boxes and bags that Lily then shrank and put inside her purse. She was still amazed at how much bigger Diagon Alley had grown in the ten years since her death. Harry and Draco convinced their mothers to take them to McDonald's for lunch and Cissa having heard about it from Luc was curious. They went out on Charing Cross Road and Lily summoned a Black Cab and it took them to the same McDonald's where Harry and Draco had eaten previously. Harry and Draco both ordered Big Macs, fries, chocolate milkshakes and apple pies while Lily and Cissa followed Severus' and Luc's lead and ordered Quarter Pounders with cheese and fries. Lily ordered a Coke while Cissa chose a vanilla milkshake.
"Luc was right," Cissa acknowledged. "This is quite tasty. There is certainly nothing comparable in our world."
"It is," Lily agreed. "This is the first time I've ever eaten here. I know the first McDonalds opened in 1974, but it was so far away from where Sev and I lived that we weren't able to go to it. It was too long of a drive just for a hamburger and fries," Lily said. "And of course James wouldn't have been caught dead visiting a Muggle restaurant."
After lunch Harry convinced his mother they should go into Muggle London and see a movie since Draco and his mother had never seen one. Lily agreed and allowed Harry to choose the movie. He chose 'The Addams Family' and they stood in line waiting to buy tickets.
Harry had only been to one movie while he was living with the Dursley and that was only because Mrs. Figg had been sick and couldn't watch him. All during the movie, Draco had been wide eyed and open mouthed. "If Muggles can do that; how come they can't do magic?" Draco asked Harry. "I mean I felt like I was standing right next to them."
"That is their magic," Harry said. "Look at all the thing they've invented to make their lives easier and all the great painters and sculptors like Michelangelo and DaVinci not to mention Muggles have gone to the moon several times."
"Yeah, I guess we'd look pretty backwards to them. We're still using torches, candles, and oil lamps for light. Fireplaces for heat and quills to write with," Draco replied.
Lucius was waiting with Severus when Lily, Cissa and the boys stepped out of the Floo. They had been discussing Voldemort's possession of Quirrell and wondering what his next attempt to get at Harry would consist of as they were both certain he would try again.
"Did you have a good day?" Lucius asked.
"Did we!" Draco said. "We ate at McDonalds and saw a Muggle mov-ie."
"We saw 'The Addams Family'; it's about this weird family that thinks they're completely normal, but everybody else thinks they're creepy and they think everybody who is normal are weirdo's," Harry explained. On cue, he and Draco began singing, "They're creepy and they're kooky, mysterious and spooky, they're altogether ooky, The Addams Family," and doing a funny dance to the tune.
