Here we go the twins and Marauders what could go wrong? I will switch between 1974 and 1993 in this chapter but the others will have less switches. It takes place during chamber of Secrets. So they would all be fourth years. I know the map wouldn't have been created till fifth year when they became animagi so we will pretend they did it all in fourth year.
1974:
Severus Snape was sitting by the lake throwing rocks angry after another fight with Lily.
" Snivellus what you doing at our hang out ?" the arrogant voice of James Potter asks from behind. Severus turns to see the three most popular boys at school seems they ditched Peter for the time being.
" None of you concern Potter " Severus snarls.
" Who do you think you are talking to him like that ?"Sirius demands. Severus knows he has no insults for Sirius on his family seeing as the Black's are royalty in the Wizarding world. Lily was going to see Severus when she sees the fight.
" A prat " Severus says when Sirius whips out his wand.
" Sirius no " Lily shouts running and grabbing his arm.
" avanitineltempo " Sirius says mispronouncing at the surprise and doesn't perform the spell to throw him in the lake. James pulls Lily to him. An explosion of smoke engulfs Sirius.
" Padfoot!" Remus and James shout looking for their friend a red head boy at their feet.
Same time 1993:
Fred and George Weasley make their way down to the black lake where Draco Malfoy is bothering Hermione.
" Leave her alone you git " Fred shouts getting angry.
" What are you gonna do blood-traitor?" Malfoy sneers. George pulls Hermione over to them she had tears in her eyes they don't get why Malfoy bothers her so much.
" torneintempo" Fred roars despite George trying to stop him. They found this spell and had no idea what it did not the best idea to use it.
"FRED!" George shouts panicking. Sirius Black as a teenager is on the ground in front of George Weasley.
" Who are you and where is my brother?" George demands pointing his wand. Hermione is dumbfounded by the magical ability Fred just displayed.
" Sirius Black where am I? he says looking around at the same place he just was but it's different.
George's eyes widen and he look to where Malfoy is getting up.
" I'm George Weasley, now Come with me " George says dragging Sirius behind him straight to the Gryffindor head.
" George wait " Hermione calls running after him.
" Professor something has happened " George says rushing into the office pulling Sirius with him. Hermione slips in behind closing the door.
1974:
" Who are you?" Remus asks and Fred sits up wand clutched in his hand.
" Fred Weasley " he says standing up.
" What did you do with Padfoot?" James asks.
" Padfoot? Your the Marauders!" Fred shouts.
" How do you know?" they asks pointing their wands at him. On instinct Fred lifts his and his magic feels uncentered so he lowers the wand.
" His real name is Sirius Black " Lily says not knowing if it will help or not.
" I need to get back in the future. What year is it?" Fred asks.
" 1974 " Remus replies.
" Well your friend Sirius is in 1993 with my twin. Who I need to get back to " Fred says.
" Do you have other family?" Lily asks.
" Yeah my parents, five brothers including my twin, and a little sister " Fred replies when a moan is heard behind them.
" We have to get care of Snivellus first " James says. Severus moans and stands seeing the new boy he brandishes his wand at Fred.
" Who are you?" he asks.
" Sev it's ok " Lily says but is ignored.
" A greasy git since childhood " Fred says smirking.
" Stupify " Severus shouts angrily. Fred blocks it with ease sending his own spell back which Severus blocks stumbling from the force.
" I will not ask again who are you?" Severus asks.
" Because it worked so well the last time " James sarcastically notes. Fred stands his ground before reaching into his pocket and grinning.
" A visitor chill out, have a sweet " Fred says tossing him a lying lemon drop, a new invention which makes you lie or say things that don't make sense no matter what for a good half hour. The lies are also quite stupid you seem like a fool. Severus scoffs at it when he picks it up.
"Scared?" James asks grinning.
" Of course not " Severus replies popping in his mouth.
" How do you feel ?" Remus asks.
" Like a pretty princess " Severus blurts out covering his mouth. Remus, James,Fred, and Lily all burst out laughing.
" I'm going to make you a cake" Severus growls.
" What are those ?" Remus asks.
" They are lying lemon drops my twin and I made them they make you talk like that for about a half hour. George thought they were too cruel or something stupid like that. I was going to destroy them we are just getting good at making things. We are only fourth years " Fred says. Severus angry sends a hex at them which puts Remus in a body-binding curse.
" Severus " Lily says angrily holding James's wand arm down when a curse is sent at Fred he deflect it.
" You git " Fred roars his anger spiking. Lily reverses the hex and helps Remus up while she is looking at Fred.
Fred sends a nose bleed hex at Severus which hits him and makes fountains of blood pour out of him. Fred drops his wand in surprise and all three look at him. A teacher is suddenly at the scene and the four slip away to find Professor Mcgonagall.
1993:
" What is the issue Mr. Weasley ?" she asks looking for Fred.
" Well I expect you dealt with this 19 years ago " George replies pushing Sirius into view.
" That was today Sirius did end up here. Interesting well Fred will be ok George " she says and George nods happier. " But I would ask you to refrain from using magic the longer you are apart the more unpredictable it will be " she says.
" Well what do we do with Sirius until we find a way to get Fred back " George demands.
" I don't know they never told but we made Fred a student so we should do the same with Sirius but under a different name of course and despite what you may hear Sirius you are not to say anything in your defense " Mcgonagall says still unbelieving this boy could do what the whole wizarding world said he did.
" Why don't we make him look like Fred or well me we can use polyjuice potion and he can be like Fred" George says and they consider this.
" I highly doubt professor Snape will brew this for us. Besides he couldn't act enough like Fred despite the resemblance hmm well we could just register him and your cousin." Mcgonagall says.
" Yeah sure uncle Fabian is sure to have some kids somewhere. He can be Sirius Prewett, I've heard the name before " George says.
" I could do that it will be fun " Sirius says grinning.
" Then I will have it arranged you will be in Gryffindor in Fred's bed. " she replies knowing this won't end well.
" Ok um Fred could be sick and at home you will need to write my parents so they know the story for now " George says still distressed his brother is gone.
1974:
" That was awesome but won't we get caught ?" James asks Fred.
" No he still has the effect on him he won't be able to tell who cursed him he doesn't even know my name " Fred says.
" Why did you make him bleed so much ?" Remus asks.
" Didn't mean to without my twin my magic is unstable. Hermione my friend explained this to me once twins are rare because they have two magical cores that they share. We are pranksters so it's always difficult for them to clean up our messes. When we are apart in my time it gets weaker because the two cores are busing connecting us and not powering us. It must be confused going 19 years in the past. So it just duplicated it meaning we both have two raw magical cores without balance." Fred says getting worried what if they weren't as connected when he got back. What if he never got back.
" Do you remember what you said?" Remus asks and Fred shakes his head no.
" Come on Minny will help " James says pulling them towards their professor.
" I can't believe this is happening " Lily says. " Where is Peter ?" she asks.
" No clue " James and Remus reply at the same time. They reach Mcgonagall's office.
" Professor we need your help these two came from the future and we need to get them back " Remus says as Lily shuts the door behind him.
" If this is some prank " she starts.
" It's not professor I need to get back to my twin " Fred says never once saying anything about his other family.
" What about your parents, or other siblings?" Lily asks not getting him picking a favorite.
" Well George is my best friend, magical counterpart, and favorite brother no matter what " Fred says shutting her up. She thinks about this and her only terrible sister who she loves dearly. This boy has family and has chosen to favorite one it's odd to her.
" Well this has never happened before, I think we should make you a student. What house will you be in?" Mcgonagall asks.
" Gryffindor " Fred replies.
" Hmm you can have Sirius's bed for now, we need a name for you" she says.
" How about Fredrick Black he could be Sirius's cousin he has got plenty " Remus says.
" This could work, I'm actually already his cousin every pureblood family is connected " Fred says grinning at being related to two Marauders.
" Fine but we need to have a story to where Sirius went " Lily says.
" Family no one will asks about the Black's whereabouts " James says and Remus nods. Fred notices how close Remus and James are he guesses Sirius are just as close to them. It makes his heart lurch painfully he misses George even more.
1993:
" All right Sirius you are in the system and I will inform the professors so know one is surprised to see you " Mcgonagall says.
" Thank you Professor, let's go Sirius " George says taking him straight to the tower. Hermione trails behind not liking being the smart one in the group. She often forgets how intelligent the twins are and clearly Sirius isn't impressed by her she will show them.
" We heard Fred was sick and our new cousin Sirius Prewett is hear" Ron says upon the boys and Hermione returning to the common room.
" Clear out unless your a Weasley " George barks out and everyone files out. George motions for Lee and Harry to stay. Assuming she can Hermione sits next to Ron. She is now amazed how everyone listens to George. Sirius's eyes widened upon seeing Harry, James then he sees the eyes, Lily so it does happen. George grabs his arm to bring him back into reality giving him a later look.
" Now something has happened you do need to or get to know what so leave Sirius alone. Fred is until further notice unreachable so don't try " George instructs sternly.
" You don't have the right to keep information about our brother from us " Percy says.
" Maybe he does, maybe he doesn't but he isn't going to share " Sirius says coming to his defense.
" We don't have a cousin named Sirius despite our few times removed cousin Sirius Black " Percy says. Sirius gulps and moves closer to George wishing it was James or Remus.
" We do now so shut before I make you " George says moving close to Percy.
" George maybe you should tell them " Hermione starts. Everything on the tables starts to shake and rattle.
" No, Fred is gone because you couldn't handle a bully " George says softly his voice laced with venom into Hermione's ear. From his close proximity she can feel the doubled magical cores radiating off him. She assumed this would happen because of the time difference.
" Percy mate you don't want George angry without Fred to calm him down. " Ron says.
" I'm a prefect and the older brother he can't keep " Percy starts but George shoves him into the wall.
" Enough!" George shouts all the ink bottles shattering and everything else starts whizzing towards the growing fire. " Anything to do with Fred is and always will be my business unless I share with everyone so leave it. This is what your going to believe until Fred is back. Sirius Prewett is our cousin from Uncle Fabian before his death, Fred is sick and unreachable. Do you understand ?" George snarls.
" George "Sirius says softly not wanting to be the start of a scene and get too much attention no matter how much he enjoys it. George lets go of Percy but his searing glare keeps Percy to the wall.
" Any other objections?" George asks in a don't you dare speak voice. Everyone shakes their heads. George inhales and knows he can't calm down without Fred. The difference was Fred got worked up really quickly but had no steam. George sat and endured until he exploded and only Fred could calm him down. He storms off Sirius trailing behind despite the warnings Ron gave about an angry George. He had dealt with Remus plenty enough to know how to calm someone like him down. Everything that hadn't gone into the fire was on the ground. Hermione cried out upon seeing her notes covered in ink. She glared up towards where Sirius and George went planning to give him a telling off about his magic.
" Don't he won't calm down anytime soon " Ron says and she sighs looking up at her friend.
Sirius sits down next to George who runs his hand through hair. Sirius is impressed with the amount of magic coming off this fourth year and silently takes George's hand. George was grateful for the comfort he knew others could calm him down but no one tried and he just wanted Fred. Sirius was still getting through his head what happened and needed some comfort.
" Thanks Sirius I can't imagine being away from my time and all my friends " George says.
" I'm away from my two best friends and your twin was just dumped in the past so I think you can imagine how it is to be away from those you care about it seems you favor Fred " Sirius says.
" We don't mean to and we love our siblings but " George starts trailing off.
" You can't help but be more connected " Sirius finishes.
" So what do you do for fun everyone cleared out when you said so you have a reputation " Sirius says.
" This " George says pulling on the map.
" I solemnly swear I am up to no good " Sirius says and George gapes.
" How did you?" George asks.
" Padfoot at your service " Sirius says with a mock bow becoming himself again.
" No way that means Fred is with Prongs, Moony, and Wormtail " George says pride and jealousy in his voice.
" Well I think I met a Potter down there " Sirius says.
" Yes James and Lily had Harry " George says looking down.
" Well what became of them, me, Remus?" Sirius asks. George inhales and looks down.
" I can't tell you we can't change everything that way you just need to focus on getting back to your time " George says and Sirius nods.
" Well Harry is a little prongslet don't tell him " Sirius says smiling.
" Come on let's go to the great hall and charm the ceiling to rain sap on every one for lunch, the only way to remove it is to do or say something nice for someone. Fred wouldn't want pranks paused due to time travels. " George says checking to see where Filch is.
" Mischief Managed " George says closing the map and putting it away.
" Seems like fun, yep everyone needs to get back in that spirit it's been to Slytherin around here something's going down " George says walking out of the dorm.
1794:
Fred follows them through the halls and sees people whispering and pointing to him. Fred doesn't care because he is with Marauders his heroes. So he flashes them his best grin and wink while walking next to Lily.
" So what do you do for fun in your time?" Lily asks.
" Prank, with the help of a certain map" Fred says. Remus and James freeze turning back.
" Do you have it ?" James asks.
" Does it still work well?" Remus asks.
" How did you get it?" they ask at the same time.
" No George has it good thing he better be following through with that prank needs to make sure no one catches them, It works figured out the riddle pretty quick you should've made it more a challenge, and we nicked it from Filch first year " Fred explains and they turn to each other grinning.
" Your going to help us " James says.
" We don't have to rely on Peter that way. We should have known you had the map when you knew it was us" Remus says.
" I just figured our reputation spoke for itself " James says shrugging and Fred laughs.
" Well come on the the tower then we can get what we need for the prank, and you are going to stay quite Evans " James says dashing ahead Remus following. Fred shrugs and darts after the two boys.
" Peter do you have the stuff ?" James asks as they walk into the tower.
" Who is that?" Peter asks pointing to Fred.
" I am Fredrick Black, call me Fred " Fred says with as much arrogance as he can muster and that makes James and Remus snicker. Everyone else starts whispering.
" My dear cousin is on family business so I suggest you don't ask " Fred barks out so no one will question him on the matter. He did have good looks so it wasn't impossible for him to be a Black but no one would question him.
" Nice delivery " James mumbles and Fred beams looking over the stuff they have planned.
" We are putting down invisible carpet that charges you so every time you touch someone it shocks them, they are going out of the base of the entrances to the common rooms. Fred you take Ravenclaw tower, Remus you do Hufflepuff basement, and I will do Slytherin Dungeon." James says handing out the carpet that will become invisible when laid out. He trusted Fred more than Peter for some reason he could feel the power and urge to make trouble in him.
" What about me?" Peter asks not liking being replaced by a new kid.
" You lay this out at the front of the painting it will ensure Gryffindor's don't get shocked when they walk over it " James says handing him the carpet and setting out.
" Wait we know the times for prefects so take the cloak " James says dashing to get it.
" He doesn't know how it works " Peter complains.
" That's not true my friend Harry uses the cloak all the time " Fred says before realizing what he let slip.
" Is that my son?" James asks handing the cloak to him.
" Um yes no more questions I shouldn't of said that " Fred says taking it and slipping it on while turning to the tower. Seeing no one he lays down the carpet and admires his handiwork.
" What are you doing?" A girl asks from behind. She looks at the blank floor and up at the boy standing by the window. Fred looks over at the girl and freezes. Her crystal blue eyes are the color of a clear afternoon sky. Her waist-length ash blonde hair is in its usual side braid that goes just below her shoulders. The small robes seem to sag on her bird like figure and she has books in her hand with more in the bag on her shoulder. She can't be more than 5"2 so Fred looks down at the girl.
" Avoiding prefects, which you aren't right?" Fred asks.
" No I'm Alexia Baird, call me Alex and you?" she asks.
" Fredrick Black, call me Fred " he says.
" Are you Slytherin?" Alex asks.
" No I'm in Gryffindor you?" Fred asks giving her a crooked grin that makes her blush.
" Ravenclaw, I'm going to my tower " she replies. A Fred scratches the back of his head ' way to go Freddie ' he thinks to himself.
" Well I just started I'm a fourth year " Fred says trying to get back some dignity.
" So I am now Mr. Black if I know your cousin their better not be anything blocking my way " Alex says raising an eyebrow.
" Well nice to meet you Alex don't walk there " Fred says pointing to where the carpet is and slipping away with the cloak and going back to the common room. He hears her bell like laugh as he descends down the stairs and resisted the password he heard James say. ' What are you thinking Freddy she is old enough to be your mum ' he says upset with himself. He sits next to the fire ignoring Peter.
1993:
George and Sirius finished enchanting the ceiling just in time for lunch and sit down next to each other.
" We heard a Weasel went home early " Malfoy says from behind them.
" Surprised you aren't crying in the hospital after what happened, Malfoy " George snaps back.
" And who is that?" Malfoy demands ignoring the comment.
" Sirius Prewett " Sirius replies smiling and Malfoy grumbles going back to his seat. Once everyone is settles George and Sirius mutter the spell and the sap starts raining down into people's hair only. People start screaming and rubbing their hair but it won't come out.
" George would you like help studying for Charms later ?" Sirius asks the syrup disappearing from his perfect hair.
" I would thank you dear cousin " George says politely and the syrup disappears. The Gryffindor's catch on and start saying or doing nice things. Ron doesn't.
" Why would you need help in charms you and Fred at Flitwick's best students " Ron says and Hermione huffs not willing to believe that.
" Oh Ron you really are thick " George says looking down in mock shame.
" I'd say it worked pretty well just have to wait for everyone to figure it out " Sirius says grinning.
" Of course we have Charms next let's go Sirius " George says standing up and pulling Sirius with him out of the distressed hall.
" You really are good " Sirius says and George laughs. Sirius explains the prank they were setting up and how Fred had to take over the Ravenclaw tower spot.
" Awesome now come on we should talk to Flitwick before class " George says and they rush into the classroom.
" Sirius good to see you again " Flitwick says handing him a book.
" Was it weird teaching Fred again and knowing soon enough Sirius would turn up?" George asks.
" Only a little I do enjoy a good prank the syrup was particularly creative." Flitwick says and Sirius takes Fred's desk.
" Thank you professor " they say at the same time.
" This is going to be fun " Sirius says grinning as the other students file in. They have charms with Ravenclaw so they all figured out how to get off the syrup. Most of them glare towards Sirius and George who just grin back.
Mischief Managed. The next chapter we get to see the Marauders prank in action. Not the most creative pranks I know but oh well. Hope you enjoyed remember to follow,favorite, and review please.
