Dumbledore ran out of his office with the students behind him. Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Ginny had their wands out ready to fight. The Marauders and Lily was confused and scared on what was going on. Were students really fighting, Lily thought to herself.
"Dumbledore, what do you want us to do?" The James look alike asked.
"I want you to get the students out of Hogsmeade and back to the castle. You know where to transport them through. Make sure no one sees you." Dumbledore ordered.
The James look alike turned to the girl with red hair and another kid that was little short and chubby that joined the group as they went down to the village. They those two left the group and went toward the buildings. James look alike then turned to the other two students that were still there and said,
"We are going to have to help the teachers. But make sure that they don't see you and be careful. If you see any underage students fighting get them to safety." He commanded.
"Wait? What about us? What are we supposed to do?" Lily asked scared.
The rest of the group halted forgetting that they were there. The James look alike turned around to face them and said,
"Go back to the castle and Remus owl the older you and tell him to get the Order and come to Hogsmeade quickly! The rest of you can help Madam Pomfrey in the hospital wing."
The Marauders and Lily just nodded and ran back to the castle to get help. As they were told they went to the hospital wing to help. As they got there Madam Pomfrey asked,
"Who are you?"
"Ummmm…. Dumbledore sent us to help you with the injured. There is an attack going on at Hogsmeade." Lily said.
Right after that Madam Pomfrey became frantic and started to run around the Hospital Wing to get things ready. Remus disappeared to contact the other him. When he got back he said,
"Is this for real?"
"I really don't know but I guess this is really happening." James said.
"Yeah well I don't want to sit here and wait for it to be over. I want to help. Let's go down there to help. They are going to need more help down there then up here." Sirius stated.
The Marauders snuck out to help the other down in Hogsmeade. Lily stayed to help Madam Pomfrey in the Hospital Wing, since she was better healing then fighting. As they got down there the Order had just arrived. It was hectic down there. Everyone was everywhere and you could see everyone fighting. James notice the look alike he was taking on three Death Eaters at once and the girl with the brown bushy hair was fighting along with some other students of five Death Eaters. He could not believe that students fought. James turned to asks Sirius what they should do but Sirius was already fighting and James joined him.
Harry turned to see that the Marauders had joined. Harry directed some of the Order to protect them. James saw that the Death Eaters back off as more Order joined the fight. They all disappeared. The James look alike ran to help people get up and to take them to the Hospital wing. Once everyone got back to the castle Harry ran up to the Marauders and screamed,
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING? YOU COULD HAVE KILLED YOURSELF! WHAT DID YOU NOT UNDERSTAND WHEN I SAID STAY AT THE CASTLE?"
"Calm down Harry. It is in their blood to help. You should understand that." The bushy hair girl said.
Harry sighed and said, "Thank you. But next time when someone gives you a direction to stay at the castle with you listen?" Harry said.
"I don't have to listen to you. You are not head of anything important. You are just a little student." Sirius spatted toward Harry.
Before Harry could say anything to the young Sirius he got pulled away to brief the Order. Hermione walked toward where Harry went. The Marauders looked confused on why adults would want to talk to a kid. Sirius looked at the red head girl and asked,
"What is so special about him?"
"Who Harry?" Ginny asked.
Sirius nodded and said,
"He thinks that he is so important and that we should listen to him."
"Well, you kind of should. He knows what he is talking about. He had went up against You- Know- Who more than once. Not only that. He is also head of the Order." Ginny told them.
The Marauders had their mouth hanged open; they did not know what to say. How could a kid like them be head of the Order? That just did not make any sense. They walked to where the group was and started to listen. Dumbledore was addressing the school.
"I want to thank all the fighters that fought today. You all deserve points for your house. Another thing I want to say is all you students kept you cool and knew what to do. You are all brave warriors. Ten points toward Miss Weasley and Mr. Longbottom for getting all the under aged and hurt students out for Hogsmeade. I am over proud of my students for protecting their school. I think that Mr. Potter would like to say a few words."
The Marauders and Lily watched as the James look alike stood where Dumbledore stood and said,
"Like what Dumbledore said I am proud of how all of you put your knowledge to work and even if you were not in Dumbledore's Army you still an excellent job. I am proud of all of you and happy to fight with you all. We have won this battle but they will be back and we will be prepared."
The whole school cheered at the end. The Marauders did not know what to do. They could not believe what they were hearing. Was this for real? Was there really another war going on and children were fighting it? Lily could not believe it. When she was healing people most of them were students that got hurt. She could not believe that the teachers would sacrifice student's lives for the war.
Dumbledore motioned for the Marauders and Lily to follow him back to his office. While they walked back to his office the group grew with a few more people. Once in Dumbledore's office there was silence. No one knew what to say. Hermione spoke up first,
"Alright how about I introduce myself? I am Hermione Granger. That is Ron and Ginny Weasley. That there is Neville Longbottom and Luna Lovegood. The last one is Harry Potter." Hermione introduced everyone in the room.
Then everyone went quite from what Hermione said. The Marauders could not believe what she was saying. They know that they were in the future but they never guessed that they would meet their or their friend's children. Lily sighed and said,
"I am Lily Evans that is Remus Lupin, James Potter, and Sirius Black. We are from the past."
"Now that everyone is introduced I think we need to get right to the point. Since you lot are stuck here in the future you are going to have to stay here until we can get you back to your time. I will inform the teachers and we are going to have to give you some back stories." Dumbledore said.
"Well Sirius and I could be family of Harry here." James said.
"I could become a Weasley. I could be a cousin of them. My last name could be Pewertt." Lily stated.
"Remus can be my cousin." Hermione stated.
"Now that we got that settled. Miss Evans you are from Beauxbatons Academy and you transferred here to finish your schooling. You are living with the Weasley's family because your family feels that it is safer. As for you Mr. Potter and Black, this is going to be more trickery." Dumbledore said.
"Why sir? Potters are a large family. We are everywhere." James said with a smile.
"That's the problem. I am the last know Potter in this world." Harry said with sorrow.
James did not say a word. He was sad and you could see it on his face. He could not believe that there is not a Potter left in this world beside Harry. Dumbledore spoke up and said,
"You have been on the run looking for your cousin Harry here and you have finally found him and you are staying with the Weasleys as well for your safety. As for Mr. Lupin, you have been staying at home until your family was attacked my Death Eaters and your last known family is the Grangers. So you came to Hogwarts for your protection and to be with your last know relative. Now what houses are you in?" Dumbledore asked.
"We are all in Gryffindor sir." Lily said.
"Then you shall be in Gryffindor. I will get you some supplies and books for you to do your schooling. I am going to put you with the sixth years. You are going to have most of your classes with Mr. Potter, Weasley, Longbottom, or Miss Granger. "Dumbledore stated.
Dumbledore excused them from his office and they headed to Gryffindor common room. It had been a long day and everyone just wanted to rest. When they got to the common room there was no one in it. Everyone was either in the hospital wing getting healed or in bed. Everyone said their good night and headed to their separate dorms. Lily would be sharing a dorm with Hermione while the Marauders would be sharing a dorm with Harry and his roommates.
