Three years later- Sept. 1
James, Sirius, Remus, and Jessi been pranking and hexing for 2 years. This year would be their third since they had let Jessi into the group. She made a horrible influence on them all but they didn't care since they became Hogwarts best pranking group in history. A lot had happened in the last year in particular. James, Sirius, and Jess had become illegal animagus. James had become a stag, Sirius a big black dog, and Jess a petite cheetah, smaller than Sirius, and obviously James, but she had to be the fiercest. They also had nicknames according to their animal. James had Prongs, Sirius had Padfoot, Remus had Moony, and Jess, well Jess didn't have a nickname, Jess was her nickname. It was Jessi's idea to become animagus in the first place. This summer Sirius ran away from his "Death Eater worthy" home and came to the Potter Mansion where Mr. and Mrs. Potter took him in with open arms, much to Jessi's dismay. The two boys were always into mischief and Jessi always had to make sure they didn't do anything too bad, even though she really wanted to get in on the fun.
"Moony!" Jess called seeing Remus while trying to heavy her trunk behind her.
"Hey Jessi," Remus called back in reply as they met each other half way, "Have a good holiday?" he asked as they met each other and no longer had to yell.
"'Have a good holiday?!' Remus are you kidding me?! I now live with James and Sirius; of course I haven't had a good holiday! Well, when they were out of the house, asleep, or when you came over to help me keep them under control! One was bad enough, now I'm stuck with two!" Jessi ranted.
"Jess, you're either going delusional or are delusional!" Remus laughed while putting his trunk down as Jessi did, ignoring all the people bustling around them. "You, of all people should know that they're dynamite when they get together."
Jessi then ran to him and jumped into his open arms. "I wasn't even prepared for some of the pranks, which they did to me! It turned out to be an all-out prank war and I beat them so bad, well not really but I would have if you were there! Anyway, I missed you and your logic thinking, where were you when I needed you!?" Jessi said the last sentence sarcastically, while smirking as they broke apart.
"Come on Jessi, we need to find your brothers before they get into too much trouble." Remus had a cocky grin on his face when he said "brothers". Jessi then stuck her tongue out at him as a come-back, even though Jess knew it was a horrible come-back.
With that they dragged their trunks aboard The Hogwarts Express to go to the Marauders' usual compartment, where they found James and Sirius already waiting.
"Geez, Jess, Moony, did you two find a snug closet on your way here, seeing as you two arrived together?!" Sirius said more than asked being his obnoxious, regular self, of course.
"No Padfoot, I'm secretly going steady Snape." Jessi replied her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"I thought you a good little girl, Jessica Alyana Potter, I guess I was wrong." Sirius smirked; he used her full name, which, he knew that Jess hated.
"Why I oughta…" Jess muttered back, dangerously. James found this a good time to step in before Sirius got a black eye, as he had gotten back in third year.
"Okay, lil sis, best mate, enough flirting with each other!" James said actually being serious. Sirius and Jessi looked at James, then at each other and said "eww!" at the same time. James and Remus had gotten a laugh out of that one. "Moony, you better not be going secretly steady with my sister." James said warningly.
Jessi spoke up for Remus. "Rather him than Sirius."
All the boys looked at Jessi, horrified. James because the idea of his little sister dating his werewolf friend, Remus because he was somehow dragged into this conversation again, and Sirius because one of the prettiest girls in Hogwarts would rather have his friend over him. Jess burst out laughing at all their horrified expressions.
"Chill, I'm not going steady with anyone." She said and added "yet" under breath, luckily no one heard. With that the subject was finished and changed, to pranking.
"Why don't we prank Snape first, or, rather hex him?" Sirius suggested.
"I'm down with that." James answered. "What do you think Moony, Jess?" James then asked to make sure everyone agreed.
"Sounds good to me." Remus replied truthfully. Not many people saw this pranking side of him.
"Can I hit him first?" Jessi asked. The guys all shared a look; they all had gotten hit by Jessi at one time or the other. She hit harder than any boy the Marauders ever met. The guys nodded, a smile then graced her face. "Thanks guys!" Jess went and gave James a hug, then Remus a hug and a quick peck on the cheek. She skipped Sirius on propose and he looked genuinely put out.
"Well what about me? It was my idea to hex Snape in the first place!" Sirius completely whined.
"Oh, do I have to?!" Jess asked then groaned when he nodded. She walked over to where Sirius was seated. She left a very quick peck on his cheek, quicker than Remus' peck. "Happy?!" she asked sarcastically as Sirius nodded happily. Jessi looked back at Remus who was subconsciously rubbing his cheek where she had kissed him. Then at James who was glaring back in forth at Remus and Sirius.
"Chill James, it was just like how I'd kiss daddy." She said and her older brother stopped glaring almost immediately. He didn't know she was obviously lying to him.
"Well, that's a relief!" James exclaimed. "We're almost at Hogwarts, we'd better change."
On Jessi's way to change she saw the "to-be-pranked" Snape. She snuck up behind him, put a spell on his hair to cut it very short and hexed it to be Gryffindor colors, red and gold, then said "Oh, hey Snape!" He then turned and Jess' fist connected with nose as it had Malfoy's jaw three years ago.
The Marauders were so back, and badder than EVER!!
