Chapter One
Meetings
It was a week before Christmas Eve when the Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry had a visitor. His visitor was swathed in black robes. His cloak was also black. The hood was up to hide his features.
The Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore was surprised. What the stranger said shocked him to the core.
Harry Potter wandered the halls of Hogwarts deep in thought. Remembering when he had been bitten by Moony the previous year. As he turned a corner Harry bumped into his friends. Christine Black, accompanied by the spirit of James Potter in her head, Sirius Black JR, both were grim reapers, Riana Lupin, a half-wolf with a temper accompanied by ten five-inch claws, and Draco Malfoy, who had started to get along better with the Gryffindors since he started dating Riana, to his father's displeasure and Dumbledore's amusement. Ron and Hermione had gone home for Christmas break the day before.
"Harry there you are, we've been searching for you everywhere. Professor McGonagall said Professor Dumbledore wanted to see all of us in his office," Sirius JR said.
"We haven't pulled a prank all week and Voldemort hasn't done anything lately so I don't see why he wants to see all of us," Harry murmured, "Standing here wont answer our questions."
The five headed towards the Headmasters office. Making a slight detour to avoid Peeves the Poltergeist. Upon reaching the gargoyle guarding the stairs to Dumbledore's office they realized they didn't know the password.
"Didn't the Professor give you the password?" Harry questioned.
"No, she didn't. I guess she thought we already knew it the way we're always in there." Riana answered.
"It's time to play the Guessing Game. What is the Headmaster's password today?" Sirius JR announced playfully.
"Lemon Drops?"
"Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans?"
"Chocolate Frogs?"
"Cockroach Clusters?"
"Acid Pops?"
"Caramel Apple Pops?"
"Sugar Quills?"
"Smarties?"
"Blood Pops"
"Skittles?"
The gargoyle sprang aside allowing them entrance into the Headmaster's office.
Dumbledore, when they entered, had that 'damn twinkle thing' as Draco called it, in his eyes. Sitting in one of the chairs was a mysterious stranger wearing a cloak with its hood pulled up, hiding his features. It was quite annoying, everyone could tell he was half-grinning, half-smirking,
The Pack, as they and Ron and Hermione were known as, went instantly on guard. Draco moved in front of Riana, his 'mate', Sirius JR and Christine moved in front of Harry, the 'alpha male'. If the other two pack members had been there Hermione and Ron would be guarding their backs.
"Now, now," the man said, "There's no need for that."
He stood, a mistake in front of a defensive wolf pack. Christine gave him a right hook, sending him flying halfway across the room. Dumbledore and the stranger were the only ones to be surprised by her show of strength. Riana, Draco, and even Sirius JR had all been on the receiving end of her over-protectiveness of Harry. Whether it was verbally, physically, or both, she was crazy about protecting him.
"Who the Hell are you?" Christine snapped out.
"And what the Hell to you want?" Sirius JR snarled.
"This is your key to the past," Dumbledore spoke, "You see twenty years ago, five students came to my office led by the Marauders. They said they were from a little known school here in England."
The stranger got back to his feet, the hooded cloak still hiding his features. "They continued their Seventh year here at Hogwarts. Their names were Jay Weston, Anna Lupis, Antoine Draconis, and Audrey and Cyrus Canis. These five were commonly called The Pack."
"Like us," Christine breathed, "We're the ones who walked into your office."
"Its easy to tell who's who," Draco said, "Audrey and Cyrus Canis would be the twins. Riana would be Lupis, after the wolf constellation, and Potter would be Jay because that's his middle initial."
"Don't forget," Riana nudged Draco, "Antoine Draconis."
Draco stuck his tongue out at Riana.
"Now then, let's change your appearances, " the stranger spoke. He then began to chant in a language that was unfamiliar to the Pack.
When he was finished Dumbledore conjured mirrors. Harry's green eyes were now a chocolate brown, as was his hair. The hair he once could only describe and a 'screwed up mop' was no longer messy. It had lengthened till it stopped at the middle of his back. Christine's black hair was now blonde and had lengthened as well, now if she wished to sit she would have to move it aside so she wouldn't sit on it. Her startling blue eyes had become a few shades darker. Sirius JR, who once could have been mistaken for his twin, now had mouse brown hair and baby blue eyes. Riana's eyes had stayed their stunning gold. Her sandy brown hair became black. The change to Draco was the most drastic. His waist length blonde hair had shortened a few inches and turned blood red. His eyes went from silver grey to a vivid green.
"I look like a cross between Potter and the Weasley girl," he exclaimed, "Hell! I look like a girl!"
"You're screaming like one too," Harry teased grinning.
"Harry that's nasty," Draco whined. Everyone laughed at his tone.
Shortly before be was bitten by Moon, Harry had figured out he was gay. He had actually had a crush on Remus at the time.
"Alright, can we get this over with?" the cloaked stranger asked impatiently.
"Okey Dokey," Riana chirped.
"Okey Dokey?" Draco questioned.
"Muggle saying," Harry and Riana answered in tandem.
The stranger started to chant once again. A white light engulfed the five teens blinding them. When they could see again they were in the entrance hall. It was also midnight three days to the full moon.
Sirius JR lost his balance and fell on top of Harry. "Aww, 'Rus," he joked, "I didn't know you felt that way."
"You'd be surprised," Sirius JR said before capturing Harry's lip for a quick kiss. He then helped Harry to his feet before Christine turned around.
The four Marauders, under the invisibility cloak, however, saw them. Their jaws hit the floor.
"Bloody Hell!" Sirius SR blurted out before thinking.
Christine whipped around, "What was that?"
"Relax Audrey," Riana soothed, "It's probably nothing more than a few harmless students out of bed. Or it could be a boggart."
Draco snuck up behind Christine, grabbed her, and roared. "RAAARH!"
Christine screamed, turned around, and proceeded to beat the living daylights out of him. Draco's laughter soon became calls for help. When the Marauders finished snickering at this, they realized they'd been called 'harmless'. Deciding these newcomers needed a lesson they threw a dungbomb. It flew towards Harry who 'accidentally' kicked it, with his heel, towards the invisible Marauders. It went off and covered the invisibility cloak. Everyone was silent.
"Oops," Harry said innocently.
Draco, Christine, and Sirius JR broke into laughter, while Riana and Harry wrinkled their noses at the smell.
"Accio invisibility cloak," Riana whispered.
The cloak flew into her hands, uncovering the Marauders. Their expressions only seemed to cause Draco, Sirius JR, and Christine to laugh harder. They also caused Harry and Riana to smirk in amusement.
