Everyone knows the famous story of Mr. Harry James Potter, but what if Harry hadn't been the chosen one? What if Voldemort was defeated by others, before he was even born? What would have become of the Marauders?
"20 years, it's been 20 years since the Order defeated him. Hard to believe isn't it?" said James Potter. He was sitting in his living room with his wife, Lily, and his 3 best friends, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew. "It's crazy…" commented Lily "Doesn't feel that long at all, seems like just yesterday…" the 4 men nodded in agreement with her. A chorus of laughter came from Harry's room. "I'm so thankful the war ended before any of the kids were born." She added with a smile. If you had told the Marauders that in twenty years, two of them would be married and they would all have children, they would've called you crazy. But it was true, in the last twenty years, a lot had happened, James and Lily got married and had had Harry. Peter had found himself a girl named Katherine and they had a son named Jack not even a year after Harry was born. Remus had had a son named Teddy with a girl named Natalie right before Jack was born. Teddy had been an accident, Remus had never wanted to have children for fear that they would inherit his illness, a fear that sadly came true. He and Natalie had broken up when Teddy was a year old. When the kids were almost 3 a woman came to Sirius' house with a little girl who was the same age as the children. The woman had tests to prove that the little girl, Evangeline, was his daughter. Evangeline's mother stayed with Sirius for about a week, then one morning, Sirius woke up, and she was gone, leaving their daughter behind. Neither of them had heard from her mother since the night she left. The four children grew up together and became closer than even their parents had been if that was at all possible. They would start their 7th year at Hogwarts the next day where they had conveniently earned their parents reputations and were know as the 2nd generation marauders by many of the teachers.
The parents continued to reminisce as the 4 teenagers sat in Harry's room talking and laughing. "This year's gonna be the best. I can feel it." Smiled Evangeline, who preferred to be known as Evan, because Evangeline was "an entirely too long and girly name". "You say that every year, Evan." Said Teddy "Well, I'm usually right aren't I, Lupin?" He smirked. "It's our last. It has to be the best." "So, that means we have to do things even our parents, before us, wouldn't have considered. We have to go over the top, especially for our beginning of the year prank." Said Harry with a mischievous smile. "I say we get Snape." Said Evan "You always want to get Snape." Commented Jack "Yeah and we never do! I think you're all scared of Sevvy-poo." "We are not! I say we go bigger, do something that not even all the mischief makers in the world would consider." Smiled Jack "I say we get all of the teachers."
