RP: ... Welcome Back Potter?
Characters: James Potter, LilyLu, Lily E. Potter; Sirius Black
Time/Date: 28 August 2023, early evening
Location: Godric's Hollow
Warnings/Rating: ANGST
Summary: James isn't really sure what's going on.
Status: Closed, complete-ish

It took James several seconds of blinking before he could piece together what was going on.

One of two things had just happened: either he had just Apparated to a location he had never seen before, likely splinching himself in the process (aaaand quick check to make sure everything vital had come along) or he was never touching Firewhiskey again, because clearly it played havoc with his memory. What had they done last night that had ended him up in some... random house in who knows where (though without any other ideas, he was assuming Hogsmade), without his wand and so-called mates, who had clearly abandoned him in his hour of need. When he got back to school, there would be words. There. Would. Be. Words.

Though maybe that was a slight exaggeration. Just because nothing was familiar, didn't mean that he needed to assume the worst: that they'd broken into some bloke's house in Hogsmade after sneaking into the Hogs Head and sneaking some Firewhiskey. Surely they were more responsible than...

... Right, okay, that was a stupid thought. Of course he should always assume the worst.

Not seeing his mate's anywhere close by, or anyone else for that matter, James decided to count his lucky stars, and starting to ease his way in the direction that he hoped was the exit. He'd find a way back to Hogwarts and hash out the details of what the hell had happened later - right now, he didn't want to be caught breaking in. He had enough black marks that were NOT HIS FAULT to his good name already - he didn't need to add this bizarre occurrence to the list.

Sirius grinned. That was about the only reason he was excited about trudging through sixth year again. It's be bloody brilliant to have an entire new batch of students to show off to who hadn't seen his brilliance so often that they rolled their eyes and went back to their dinner.

"Well..." Sirius began, attempting to get out of the way.

He didn't make it completely and let out an "Oomph! Prongs!" before scooting over to actually make room for his mate.

Settled, Sirius continued. "I dunno. We'll do all right in Binns' class. at least?"

Ancient history tended not to change too much. Unless someplace got conquered and ordered to re-work everything.

"I dunno mate, I heard we missed a whole war while we were dead," he said, shifting a bit to get comfortable as Sirius did the same. "Besides, did we ever do well with Binns? I couldn't pay attention half the time to his dronings."

He paused. "You suppose it's still Binns? Not like he can die, but he can come back, right? And if he does come back, suppose he'll still teach or will they fill the spot?"

He waved a hand to dismiss the topic. "Either way, we can't stand for this injustice of bringing us back so far behind. 1 week, and then we must be caught up on all new jinxes and prank ideas, at the very least. We can't be slipping there."

Though he did wonder how long it would really take before they were all caught up on everything. He hoped it wasn't something ridiculous, like months.

Sirius contemplated Binns and if it would be any more interesting hearing new history that they'd missed out on. He would be interested in all of it, but...

Well.

Binns could make dragons seem dull. He wasn't sure how the ghost of a bloke did it. It took special skills, he supposed.

"I hear one of your grandkids is a prankster," Sirius informed, stretching slightly before settling completely. "And one of them has gone and got our map! We'll have to deal with that."

All in good time.

"I suppose the worst that can happen is being demoted to fifth year. Dunno about you, but I'd rather not go through O.W.L.s again, mate."

"Only one?" James asked, and then scoffed. "See, mate, if I'd be around, they'd all be far better at this whole thing. None of this goody-goody perfect student nonsense - they must get that all from Lily," though that was a bit of a touchy, angsty subject that he didn't really want to dwell on right now.

So he settled for indignant. "Got our map? Blimey, Pads, that's an injustice that just won't stand. It is clearly labeled as the property of Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot and Prongs, and I highly doubt that any grandchild of mine can claim that namesake." He rested his hands behind his head. "Clearly, we'll just have to come up with a plan to recover it."

He paused. "Here, I'm assuming that you pointed out to... it... that it was using stolen property, and it refused to surrender the property?"

He was vaguely excited now. This was the sort of stuff that was familiar. Even if it wasn't familiar to be planning on stealing things from his own grandchildren.
