"Mister Lupin?" Harry asked.
The man, upon hearing his name tried to move towards Harry but Julian stepped between them and pointed a seat in front of the desk. Remus' shoulders slumped, but he kept sending hopeful glances at the young boy who was his best friend's son.
"Harry, I can't tell you how I wished for this moment." Remus said.
"Really?" Harry asked.
"Yes." Remus nodded, eager to make a good impression on Harry and his new guardians. "I wanted to visit you at your relatives' house, but Dumbledore wouldn't give me your address."
"Why would he do that?" Nicholas asked.
"He said it was for the greater good." Remus said. "I can't believe I'm sitting here with James' son in the same room!"
"Believe it." Julian said, sitting across Remus.
"Papa?"
Remus looked at the source of the voice and noticed a young woman of promising beauty standing beside Harry. She was a half a head taller than Harry, with silver blond hair that reached the small of her back. The Marauder in Remus could not help but think that Harry had bagged himself a nice bird.
"Yes Flower?" Julian turned to his daughter.
"Shall I leave? Do you require privacy?"
"Nah, stay here Flour." Harry said, giving his betrothed a pat on her arm. Even though they had started kissing, among other activities, Harry couldn't help but tease Fleur. Sometimes he missed the days when she would react violently to his teasing. Only sometimes though, since he liked the kissing.
Harry hopped into his usual chair, the beetle he had captured still trying to escape to no avail while Fleur sat on the arm of his chair.
Nicholas decided to start the conversation. "There is another reason why we have asked you to meet us, aside from a simple reunion."
"I suspected as much." Remus replied as he looked at Harry. "You seem to have a good life here, from what I can tell."
"It's alright." Harry said. A frown from Fleur made him add "I mean, I'm enjoying living here in France with the Delacours. They're my family."
"That is good to hear." Remus smiled. "Now, what do you know about your parents? Tell me what you know so far, so I'll know where to start."
"I know about the Marauders." Harry replied. "And I know that they called themselves by their aliases, Prongs, Padfoot, Wormtail and..."
"Moony." Remus finished, though he was quite shocked at what Harry had said. "Harry, how did you know about us?"
Harry grinned and pulled a folded parchment from his back pocket while he gave the string attached to the beetle to Gabrielle who had just entered the room with her mother. He placed the parchment on the table and tapped it with his wand. "I solemnly swear that I am up to no good."
"The Map... you have it!" Remus whispered, his eyes never leaving the parchment that started to form lines on its surface. "Where did you get this?"
"I can't tell you that." Harry said. "I learned about the Marauders when the map indicated my name to be Prongs Junior."
Remus grinned when he heard the name. "The four of us implanted part of our personalities and magic in the map. James' residual magic must have sensed who you are, it's slightly similar to magical wills of Gringotts. We used to call you that when you were a baby."
Harry made a face when he heard that. He didn't think the name was attractive or cool at all. "Anyway, I assumed Prongs was my father, and this week I guessed that you are Moony."
"How did you know?" Remus asked, impressed by Harry's deduction.
"It's simple really, the moon." Harry said and Remus' face paled.
"You know my secret?" Remus asked.
"Yeah, it's no big deal, as long as you don't bite me." Harry joked. "What I'm curious about is how you came up with the other three names. It can't be just a random alias, there has to be a deeper meaning to that, especially with the brilliance you showed when you four created the map."
"Ravenclaw?" Remus guessed.
"And proud of it." Harry said.
"I think I have a theory." Nicholas said. "If your three friends knew that you were a werewolf, the only way they could safely stay with you during your transformations is to become animagi. I suspect these names are related to their forms?""You got it." Remus said, giving the old man a respectful nod before turning back to Harry. "Your father's form was a stag, hence the name Prongs because of his antlers. Peter Pettigrew could transform into a rat with a worm like tail, and so we called him Wormtail. Sirius Black turns into a large black dog with wide paws, and is called Padfoot."
"That's brilliant." Harry said, his eyes lighting up. "How did they do it?"
"Through hard work and two years of practice." Remus said fondly, as he remembered the time when the Marauders trooped back and forth from the library for a year. "Do you want to be one? I may not be an animagus, but I remember the process. It will be hard though, but I know you can do it."
"No thanks." Harry said while Nicholas coughed in the background. Seeing the man's disappointed expression, the young thief put on an earnest face. "Maybe when I'm older, right now I'm too busy with school as it is."
Fleur marveled at her Harry's acting skills while Nicholas and Julian exchanged amused glances. Apolline was listening closely to the conversation while she kept an eye on her daughter who was now spinning the beetle by herself, since the poor insect was now tired from all its flying.
"Okay, if you're sure." Remus said.
"I'm sure." Harry said. "I want to ask about Sirius Black, and what happened that night. I heard rumors that he was the reason my parents were murdered."
"I checked the British Ministry records." Julian said. "In what I have discovered, Sirius Black was never convicted of anything, or even given a trial. He was just tossed into a cell on the second of November."
Remus expression darkened and he combed his graying brown hair with one hand. "It's difficult to speak about this. How would you react when you discovered that your best friend, someone you treated and consider as a brother betray James?"
