Harry Potter and The Lightning Curse

Chapter 26

"Wow" James sighed

"Wow" Lilly repeated the action

"I can't believe it" Sirius was speechless

"Neither can I" Remus slumped back with widened eyes, the four sat in silence for a while.

"MY SON GOT LUCKY!" James exclaimed

"MY godson did us proud!" Sirius wiped away a tear "I'm glad that that part gets skipped and we don't actually see it but he got lucky!"

"I know" James laughed "that thing with the magical contract was just brilliant!"

"Guys!" Lilly shouted

"What?" James replied

"Prongs" Remus spoke softly "I think she's a bit annoyed by the fact that you're son got married and fought Voldermort but all you want to talk about is pranks and him having sex"

"Oh" James and Sirius said together

"MY SON BEAT VOLDERMORT!" James exclaimed

"Woo" Sirius joined in "and he got married!"

"That's better" Lilly sighed "but I still find it hard to believe, Harry is married and can now do whatever he wants."

"I know" Remus agreed "it's weird"

"You're just saying that because he tried to set you up with my cousin" Sirius interrupted

"No I'm not" Remus continued "even though that definitely wouldn't work, I'm too old and poor for her. But actually think about it, Harry is now considered of age and has actually got permission to do whatever he wants"

"I get it" James spoke "it is a bit weird, but I trust Harry. I'm sure he won't abuse it…though I am a bit disappointed that he doesn't abuse it a little"

"Lilly" Remus spoke carefully "if you don't mind me asking, Harry has killed three people, what are your thoughts on that?"

"Well" Lilly stopped to take a breath "it was a bit of a surprise, especially when he said he liked it. It's weird knowing that your son can kill and likes killing and every part of me wants to stop him from killing. But I have no doubt that those people deserve it, and I think he needs to do it.

Dumbledore has been ineffective and Harry will get attacked again, he shouldn't have been in that tournament and he shouldn't have been in that bloody graveyard! If he has to scare and put down a few people to keep himself and everyone else safe then I say let him, I'd rather he not but I understand. Voldermort got his fear and reputation from being the most powerful no-nonsense wizard alive, I don't mind if Harry does the same because it's effective and it works. I also don't have to worry about him going dark, like he said that's what Ginny's for and I doubt he'd let her go anytime soon"

"Lil" James whispered although everyone could hear him "our son, Harry, beat Voldermort in an actual duel. I don't know what to say to that"

"Me neither" Lilly admitted "he looked so calm, and he still beat him like he was nothing. I know the ritual made him weaker and all but still, Harry did good." The Marauders continued watching.
