Chapter 1: A Typical Afternoon

Little before note: This is an alternate universe so Sirius is still alive. The rest you'll see.

Ginny Potter sighed at the mess her 6-year-old son Jacob had made. He had set off a dungbomb in the living room, causing a lamp to shatter and a horrible smell to spread throughout the house. Jake was a Marauder through and through, with Sirius, Fred, George, Remus, and Harry to tell about the pranks they had pulled.

Jake looked up at her with his green eyes wide and said quickly "Sorry Mum, I didn't mean it honest! Uncle Fred was telling me a way to set of dungbombs earlier and I wanted to see if it was true. Really sorry Mum."

Ginny smiled and said sternly "Fine just don't do it again." She pulled out her wand and said "Scourgify" and the smell was gone. She said "Repario" and the lamp was fixed. Jake grinned at his mother and scampered off.

Just then the 10-year-old twins Nicole and Alexandra came running downstairs. Nikki said, "Mom, Willie is in our room and won't leave!" Alex added, "And Jake is in there too!" Ginny sighed and yelled up the stairs "Jake! Chris! Get down here!" Jake and 8 year old William ran downstairs. Willie looked at his older sisters and scowled. He said, "Mom, Nikki and Alex took my broom and won't give it back!" Jake said, "They took my Chocolate Frogs!" The 4 of them got into an argument right there.

Ginny rolled her eyes and suddenly realized her youngest daughter was missing from this. "Julie! Where are you!" "Up here Mummy!" 5-year-old Julia ran downstairs and looked at her siblings arguing and went back upstairs. Ginny broke up the argument and gave everyone their stuff back. Everyone went back upstairs and Ginny lay down on the couch.

Her kids were all really true Marauders and were a handful. They were also all very smart too and that made their pranks even worse.

Nikki and Alex had long dark red hair and the green eyes that all her children had. They had the pale complexion of a red head and had a few freckles across their noses. They were the planning part of the pranks the kids pulled and truly had a red head temper. They were really good at Quidditch as Chasers. They were really creative and couldn't wait to go to Hogwarts to play pranks on the Slytherins.

Willie had manageable black hair and green eyes. He was a Sirius in training and played pranks on his parents all the time with help from his siblings. He had Harry's talent as a Seeker and he flew with ease. He rarely got angry but when he did he was a force to be reckoned with.

Jake looked almost exactly like Harry with the messy black hair and startling almond shaped green eyes. He was adorable and used it to his advantage when he got in trouble. He and Willie worked as a team most of the time to pull most of their pranks. He could fly already and was all right as a Chaser. He was easygoing but had a knack for getting into trouble.

Julie had curly auburn hair with more red than brown and green eyes. She was cute and her sisters loved to baby her. She and Jake got along well as they were only a year apart. She liked to watch the pranks but rarely got involved. She was a daddy's girl all the way.

Just then the door opened and Harry walked in and said "Hey everyone I'm home!" All the kids rushed down the steps saying "Hi Daddy!" or "Hey Dad!" Then there was a crash and all the kids started arguing. Ginny groaned and thought 'Just another typical afternoon at the Potters.'
