This story takes place 21 years after the epilog of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
It follows Harry Potter's son James Potter as he attendes his fifth year at Hogwarts (To me he was starting his third year in the epilog and is two years older than Albus). He's best friends are his cousin Fred Weasley(George and Angelina's son) and the Wood twins, Kyle and Kelly (OC, but Oliver Wood's children). I do not own Harry Potter, the characters or places written here, apart from OC. I'm just a Potterhead writing a story. If J.K Rowling won't give me a new story then i'm doing one myself :)
21 Years Later
Third Generation Marauders
"Lily, can't you just go hang out with some other firstyears. We don't want you and Hugo to be hanging around us all the time!"
Albus looked at his little sister with his cousin Rose nodding next to him.
"Al! What are you yelling at her for?
If you two don't wanna take care of your younger siblings then they will come with me and Fred." James came up behind Lily and Hugo, putting his hands on the shoulders of his little sister while looking angry at his little brother.
"What? I just wanna go to my friends without firstyears hanging around us." Albus blushed a bit and Rose was completly tomatofaced.
"Can we really come with you guys?" Hugo looked up at his older cousins with excitment.
"Ofcourse you can. Thirdyears are to scared about what people might say if they come in with firstyears. Luckely, if you go with us no one will even notice you. Everyone looks at me." Fred took the owl that Hugo was carying and started to walk to find place on the train. Both Hugo and Rose with huge smiles on there faces walking infront of him and James next to him leaving the thirdyears.
Someone came running behind them and looked back to see who it was, both he and Fred hit the floor with two people on top hugging them.
"FREDDIE WEASLEY!" Yelled the boy smiling at them with dark brown eyes.
"JAMIE POTTER" Yelled the girl and looked at them both with the same brown eyes as her brother.
"WE REALLY MISSED YOU!" The two stood up and drove a hand threw their hair. Identical movments that caused the girls long light brown hair to get out of her face and the boys shorter hair to do the same.
If was easy to tell the twins apart since the had different sexes. But other then that they were identical. Same eyes, same pouted mouth, same light taned skin colour and same light brown wavy hair. Apart from the fact that the girl's hair reached down to her chest and the boys only to his ears.
James and Fred looked baffled as the twins reached there hands down to help them get up.
"The Wood twins" James said when he got up and he hugged them again.
"We missed you too" said Fred and giving them hugs too.
The first years looked terrified, and even more when the twins eyes found them.
"Little Lily!" the smiling girl said giving her a hug.
"We forgot that you were starting this year" said the boy as they both walked up to her to give her a hug too.
"And you must be Hugo?" Hugo nodded at the boy who smiled nicely.
"I'm Kyle" he said shaking his hand.
"I'm Kelly" he's twin sister said shaking his other hand.
"Come on you guys, i see an empty cupe." Fred took the lead and started putting all things in the cupe as the twins bounced into there seats and the first years looked around with big eyes.
James on the other hand had stopped just outside of the cupe to look at the girl taking with a boy, already in his Hufflepluff uniform and with a shiny prefect mark on his robe. James put his things in the cupe and started walking towards the two.
Fred and the twins peeked out with curious faces. When they saw the light blond curly headed girl standing agains the wall they just smiled and went back inside to question the first years about witch house they should be in.
"Samantha McLaggen, how was the summer?" James said standing against the same wall with eyes atached to her and a really corky smile.
She looked suprised but happy to see him.
"Terrible, ofcouse. A whole summer away from James Potter" she said ironicly with a smile.
"Yeah, i can't even imagine how much pain you've been in" He said and took the hand of the girl to pull her into a hug.
"Hey Potter" The new prefect said looking missplaced as James reaslesed the girl from their hug.
"Oh, hey Walker." James said taking his hand, neither of the boys looked pleased to see eachother tough.
"I trust your summer was alright?" Walker said smiling politly.
"Not as good as yours, i see you've made prefect. Congratulations are in order i guess"
Walker looked at Samantha with a proud grin on his face.
"Walker you can go ahead, i'll be right there" she said. It was obvious that he was not the person she wanted to talk to at the moment. Not when James was right there.
He looked stunned but went to there cupe with a nod.
"You don't wanna talk to Mr. Prefect?" James said and blinked at her
"Nah, not right now. I'm not suprised that you didn't make prefect" She rolled her eyes at the boy who just laughed.
"But seriously, did you have a good summer?"
"yeah i did. But dad forced me to go hunting with him and some big shot from the minestry. Don't really know what he was thinking. Taking a vegitarian to go hunting. I mostly sat in trees and read tough." She leened in to James ear "And i did miss you"
Her big blue eyes pierced James and she had a really corky smile on her face.
"What about your summer then?
I heard you went to France for the quiddich tournament! You have to tell me all about it"
"Proffesor Longbottom is great, but you've both meet him i guess. He's also the head of Gryffindor House. Then we got Firenze, Cooper and MacMillian. Those are all great teachers." Fred said as the firstyears looked intrested at him while eating there chocolat frogs. "Mcgonagall is Headmaster. She's hard but fair. Then there is Flint. He get's us in trouble all the time."
The twins raised their eyebrows at him
"He take's away points from Gryffindor as soon as i open up my mouth" Fred argued
"That might be because first year you pointed out that he was a bucktoothed idiot for a proffesor, and he heard you. I would take points from you too" Kyle said and the small ginger kids bursted out laughing.
"But he is an arse tough" Kelly added
"Scaring the firstyears are you Freddie?" A very pretty girl with light brown skin and dark hair stood at the door.
Kyle's hand flew up to his hair at the sight of her with his twin throwing herself at the other girl.
"Roxanne!" Both Hugo and Lily came up to hug Fred's younger sister.
"Roxy, looking good as always" came from Kyle as he stood up to hug her. Whiping hair from his face.
"Stop hitting at my sister, Kyle" Fred said with a sight.
Roxanne just laughed and sat down between the twins that both threw their feet on her lap.
Fred and Roxanne didn't look alike at all. Apart from the skin and their eyes. Fred looked like a younger copy of his father. Same nose, same ginger hair, same bodytype.
While Roxanne looked like her mother with the dark hair and the big lips.
"Oh right, i totaly forgot to ask you! Why weren't you guys in france for the quiddich?" Kyle asked.
"we were there" Kelly said
"Your dad plays on the English team!" Fred said back
"As were the Potters" Kyle continued, ignoring Fred.
"And the Granger-Weasley clan" Kelly said nodding towards Hugo
"French-Weasley"
"Charlie Weasley"
"The Malfoys"
"Pretty much everyone"
"Apart from your family"
Kelly looked intence at Fred while Kyle did the same to Roxy.
"Daddy couldn't get away from the shop, both him and mum were heart broken over the fact that we couldn't go. We were pretty sad too but it would have killed dad to find out how upset we were about that so we said it didn't matter that much to us. That we can always go someother time" Roxy said, drumming on the twins legs.
Fred blushed when Kelly looked like that at him.
"dad did send us of to Diagon alley with money for us to buy pretty much anything we wanted as en excuse. So we got by anyway. I bought a new broom" He said smiling at Kyle. They both played in Gryffindors quiddich team.
"i got a cat. And lots of new clothes" she said blinking at Kelly who imidietly started a conversation about the clothing lines that got out that summer Roxy looked just as interested as Kelly so the boys just let them talk.
That was almost the only thing the Twins didn't have in common. Kelly was obsessed with clothes, Kyle hated shopping. Maybe it had something to do with the sexes but that was basically the only girly thing that Kelly did.
Two more hours and they were all in their Gryffindor uniforms, apart from the first years who didn't have a house yet. James had come back from taking with Sammi about an hour ago and still had that silly grin on his face.
They came to a stop at Hogwarts and the bunch helped Hugo and Lily to get there stuff of the train and then they went on to Hagrid who was standing yelling at the first years as usuall
"We can say Hey to Hagrid later James. Come on, i don't wanna share waggon with Slytherins." Kyle grabbed Roxanne's hand and started running towards the waggons.
"HEY! COME ON! STOP HITTING ON MY LITTLE SISTER, IT'S WIERD. KYLE!" Fred started to run after, but James and Kelly catched up and she took his hand. He felt his cheeks getting hot.
"Oh come on, Roxy has better taste then hooking up with Kyle" said James "No offence, Kel"
"Non taken. But still, why would it be a bad thing if they got something going on" she said with a huge smile waving the boys hands back and fourth.
Both boys stopped and stared at her
"It's my little sister and my best friend! It's wrong"
"Didn't James parents start dating on that term?"
"Well yes, but that was different. Uncle Ron was okay with it" James said
"You don't understand, you don't hook up with your friends sisters." Fred said and regreted saying it the moment it had slipped out.
She looked at Fred with a look that could kill.
"I don't understand? It's my TWIN brother, my identical brother who also happends to be my best friends with my best girl friend. One of the few girl friends i have. If they get together then i'll be alone. I should be upset about this, not you. Don't be such a whiny little bitch, be happy for them. If you do that they probably won't think it's as much fun anymore anyway."
She went back to her ordinary happy mood and started wavng the boys hands again.
That was the best thing about Kelly. Growing up with a boy so close made her tough enough to have small out bursts but let it go afterwards.
"You won't be alone if they do get together Kel" James said looking sweetly at her. She put her arm around him and gave him a hug
"Aww, thank you James"
"I mean it. If Roxanne and Kyle would want to be alone. All the guys in the school will come running after you! Someone of them is probably alright" James said and blinked at her. She hit him, hard.
"Finaly you made it!" Kyle said, still holding Roxy's hand
"We didn't feel the need to run bro" Kelly said, climbing up in a waggon after releasing the boys hands.
When she was up she saw that there was already two boys in the waggon. They looked at the girl with big eyes.
"Oh hey, didn't see you there. Do you mind if we sit down?" She said already sitting down next to the curly headed one.
"I'm Kelly by the way" smiling as she said it "this is Roxanne, Fred and James"
"And i'm Kyle" Kyle said jumping up to sit next to his sister with Roxanne on the other side of him.
"You are Darren Cole right? Keeper in Rawnclaw?" James said to the boy next to Kelly.
The boy looked confused as the group talked fast and not waiting for answers.
"ehh...Yeah i am. You're James Potter, seeker and one of the captains of Gryffindor. You're Harry Potter's son!" James looked proud to be recogniced but lost the grin as the Rawenclaw keeper turned to the Twins
"Kelly and Kyle Wood. Ofcourse i know who you two are. Your dad is Oliver Wood, the best keeper in England!"
Thw twins looked at eachother and shrugged there shoulders. Having a famous dad meant more to James then it ever did to the twins. Sure they both loved Quiddich so it was great getting free tickets. But there pretty faces were seen in The daily prophet alot.
"And you" Darren turned to Kyle "are the other captain of Gryffindor"
He just nodded in return.
"I am Tobias Grint. Rawenclaw prefect." The boy sitting next to James, with the dark blonde hair. He really didn't seem to like being ignored.
"Yeah we know, you took points from me last year" said Fred not looking to happy sitting with a prefect in the same waggon.
"Well if you stop riding your broom inside then maybe i won't take points from you Weasley." The prefect looked at Fred then turned his head to Roxanne.
"Oh, hello there. I'm Tobias" He said reaching his hand out to Roxy, putting on a smile to the girl.
"Yeah, you just said that. I'm Roxanne Weasley" Taking her hand from Kyle's grip and shaking Tobias. She didn't put her hand back in Kyle's after that, to everyone's suprise.
They spent the rest of the ride up to school taking, all together. Eventough Fred didn't like the fact that a prefect that had taken points from him was now hitting on his sister. She was to popular for her own good.
The big group, still talking. Mostly about quiddich. Entered the great hall and were welcome'd by the known place. Big tables with house banners over them. The teachers all sitting at their table, and most people already sitting at their tables. Darren almost fell onto the fallen rocks at the side of the entry, if Kelly hadn't caught him in just the right time.
The big rocks had been keept there since the Battle at Hogwarts, as a memory of all that was lost and the people that had died in the battle. Over it there was a big painting of Harry Potter finaly beating Lord Voldemort. Under the paining there were names and dates, names of people who had died in the battle and the date they were born and died. All ended in may 2:nd 1998.
Fred Weasley, Colin Creevy, Remus Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks were just some of the many names that were written there.
We fought this war together. We will live in the new world together, as equals.
The memory place was something that had really helped the school to be more friendly then it had been before. Even tough Slytherin and Gryffindor would always have problems getting along.
"See you later guys" Darren said as the group parted. Kelly, Kyle, Roxanne, Fred and James all going to Gryffindors table to sit down.
It took another 10 minutes for them to get a seat as they had the hug so many people on there way. Especially the twins who everyone seemed to know.
"If you could all settle down please!" Principal McGonagall's voice filled the great hall and all eyes were at her in an instence, pretty much everyone turned quite. Some Slytherins were still talking but McGonagall stared at them and now the entire hall was quite.
"Welcome. To another year at Hogwars school of Witchcraft and Wizardry. I know that you all are hungry and want the feast to beggin. But first you need to welcome new members to your houses!" She nodded at the man standing by the doors and he opened them to let the first years in. A long line of short people in cloaks were entering the great hall for the first time. All with eyes big as bludgers.
Proffesor MacMillian, the head of Hufflepuff house and Transfigurations teacher stood next to the stool with the sorting hat in his hand.
"Let the sorting begin" McGonagall said and then she sat down in the head master chair.
"Frank Adams" the dark voice of MacMillian said to the first years.
A young boy walked up to the stool and looked like he was going to barf.
MacMillian put the hat on his head and the great hall was silent as mice.
"RAWENCLAW" The table with Blue ties started cheering and the little boy jumped over there. Darren and Tobias were shaking hands with the new boy.
The sorting keept on going strong and the group of first years were getting smaller.
"Lily Potter" everyone looked up. Potter was a very respected name, even if there was two Potters at the school already. The young red head was walking up nervously, looking akward at the stares from the older students. The hat stayed on her head for a moment and finally shouted out "GRYFFINDOR"
James let out a sight and started shouting, as did the twins. Very loud infact. The young girl bounced to the table and sat next to James.
"Congratulations Lil' sis" he said giving her a one armed hug.
Hugo Weasley was the second last to be sorted in. He didn't get as much attention as Lily. Not that Weasley wasn't a famous name but there was a long line of Weasley's already at the school. Almost one in each grade. Fred Weasley, Roxanne Weasley, Rose Weasley, Louis Weasley and Molly Weasley.
"GRYFFINDOR" The table exploded once more and the little red headed boy sat down next to Lily.
Argustus Yales was sorted into Slytherin and then the stool and the hat was taking away with magic. The first years all looked stunned at the stool that had just been there and now was gone.
"Let the feast begin" McGonagall clapped her hands and the tables were now filled with food that looked delicious.
"Finally, i'm starving" said Fred and started shoving chicken legs on his plate.
"Maners much?" Kelly was teasing him and grabbing a baked potato on her own plate.
"I have to talk to you three, alone" said James as discrete as he could
"A galleon that he's gonna confess his love for McLaggen" Kyle said puching lightly on his sister.
She looked up to see James face. Then turned to her brother
"You're on Kylie boy!" grabbing his hand hand and shaking it.
"Now that you're all full and hopefully ready for bed. I just want to go over the rules.
Forbidden Forest is forbidden for a reason. You all need to be back at your common roomes by ten at night. For students fifith grade and up the curfue is midnight at weekends."
Fred and James did a fist bump
"Hogsmead is allowed third grade and up if you have signed permitions. No wand using in the hallways. No flying your brooms inside" she looked directly at Fred Weasley at the last words. He simply nodded politly at the principal and she keept on going. "If someone wish to join their house Quiddich team, try out's will he held by the captains. Go to them for further instructions."
Kyle leaned over the towards James "We need to set up dates and planes about the try outs" Kyle and James had been asigned co captains the previous year since the captain dropped out before finishing school. Something about sabbatical year. It had worked out so well that Profesor Longbottom had keept it that way.
James just nodded and looked back at McGonagall.
"So now, i hope you will all have a happy year here at Hogwarts. If the prefects could stand up" A few people from each house stood up, including Tobias Grint from Raweclaw and Molly Weasley from Gryffindor. "The first years, follow your prefects and they will show you to your doorms." The first years all rushed out after the prefects to not get lost. Lily and Hugo ran to get first in line and then they where all gone.
"Run of the rest of you"
So they did.
Kyle were talking fast to James about the plans of this years quiddich practice while sitting on the couch with Kelly on his shoulder, while her legs were in Fred's lap. Roxanne had gone to bed, being dragged by the girls of her class up to her dormitary. Probably to talk about boys.
"The common room is empty now, it's only we here" Kelly said to James and he looked at her.
"..okaay? So?"
"Didn't you want to talk to us about something?" Fred said, he wasn't as thick as James and actually understood what Kelly meant.
"RIGHT!" James ran up to his room leaving the other three looking confused. By they were used to James just running of and never explaining anything.
Kyle looked with raised eyebrows at Fred then to Kelly then back to Fred.
"What?" Fred asked confused. Kelly pulled her head back so her head was upside down by her brothers shoulder, looking at him with a smile.
"You get mad at me for hitting at your sister, but you are staring and stroking the legs of my sister right infront of me?" he said with a crooked smile.
James walked back into the room and sat down in his chair looking at what his friends were doing. Kelly sat up and looked at her brother.
"It's not the same thing, not even close to the same thing" Fred said still stroking Kelly's legs.
Kelly started to smile
"Well if Fred is hitting on me, dosn't that give you a free pass on Roxanne?"
"No it dosn't!" Fred said looking in shock at Kelly.
"It should give me more then just one free pass. Since you are my twin sister. That would be enough to let me make out with her, right infront of Freddie" Kyle said seriously to his sister
"Yeah it should. But does that mean that i have to do stuff with Fred inorded for you to get a little lucky with Rox?" Kelly said pulling her legs from Freds lap to sit on them insteed.
Fred just stared at the twins, not beliving what he's hearing.
"I'm not hitting on Kelly dude. We're friends!" The twins turned their heads to Fred.
"So if i kissed you now you would back away" Kelly said putting her head only inches away from Freds
"ehh...i...i think so"
She smiled and moved in closer, and just before there lips touched she pulled away. Both she and Kyle bursted out laughing.
"If you guys are done with hitting on eachothers sisters" James suddenly making himself heard "maybe you want to see something more interesting"
"Not even close to be done with Roxy" Kyle said and Fred reached over to kick him.
"A piece of paper is more interesting then me? Thanks James" Kelly said looking at what James held in his hands.
"This isn't just any piece of paper, and it's not a love explination to Sammi, Kyle." Already knowing what he would say.
Kelly put her hand out and Kyle put a galleon in it as promised.
"Thank you" Kelly said blinking at her brother.
"Shut up" he said back
"GUYS!" James yelled at them, not happy being ignored of is wonderfull find
"Sorry, continue" they said looking as they never heard anything as interesting as James paper.
"Okay, i found this a week ago in my dad's sock drawr. As soon as i touched it a few words came up.
The Marauders preform there compliments to James Potter, the second.
Mr Mooney, is happy to see that this has finaly found a new owner.
Mr Padfoot, solemly swears that this new marauder is up to no good
Mr Prongs, think's your name is brilliant and would be very disepointed if you don't figure this out
Mr Wormtail, would be very suprised if you don't figure out what this do."
"New maurauder? What does that mean?" the twins said looking confused.
"I have no idea." James said back
"Did you try with your wand?" Fred said
James pulled his wand out and tapped at the paper. Then looked down and read it.
"It says the same thing" he said disappointed
"Let me try" Fred said holding his hand out. Fred was, mischivous as few, but also very smart. He pulled his wand out and tapped it on the paper
"Reveal youself" he said
A text apeard on the paper.
The Marauders preform there compliments to Fred Weasley the second.
Mr Mooney, is delighted that there will be a third generation of marauders at Hogwarts
Mr Padfoot, belivies that you won't be worth of calling yourself a marauder until you can get it to open.
Mr Prongs, i solemnly swear that you are mischivous as your friend mr Potter
Mr Wormtail, if you are two then you should be abel to open it soon.
Fred read the words and they all looked in shock.
"THIRD generation marouders?" James said
"The people who did this map must have been first generation, but who are they?" said Fred
"And who were the second generation?" James said.
All of their heads were spinning right now.
"Let us try it!" the twins stole the paper from Fred and put both of there wands on it
"The Marauder preform there compliments to Kyle and Kelly Wood
Mr Mooney, four was the first, twins the second, both in third.
Mr Padfoot, Solemnly swears that twins are never up to any good
Mr Prongs, Solemnly swears that you will get it to open
Mr Wormtail, mischievus as few, talent that people can only dream of. Open and take responsibility as new marauders."
The twins read it outloud together and looked if posible even more confused.
What was this paper?
How did it open?
What was in there if they could open it?
and most importantly who were the marauders?
I really hope you guys enjoyed it as much as i did writing it. I am terribly sorry if there are spelling mistakes and so on. But place a review and i'll try to work on it :)
I'm already hard at work on the next one. Maybe the map will open, who knows?
