A/N so I revsed this chapter, and just tell me if I have any misspealings so I can go back and change it again. Thanks! =D
"Come on, get up!" Hermione rolled over and waved away the hand next to her face. "Go 'way" she murmered, trying to sink back into the comfort of sleep. "How do you think we wake her up? I don't want to do anything drastic, we did just meet her last night." Two unfamiliar voices talked quietly in the background. "Oi! Guys just do this." Ginny? Hermione thought blearily. Hearing footsteps getting closer to her bed, something in the back of her head warned her to get up, but she ignoored it. "Wakey Wakey Hermione!" a voice sang. "Hm ok then, we can do this the hard way." Before she relized what was happening, the bookworm was wrapped up in her sheets and lying on the ground next to her four-poster bed with Ginny standing in front of her, slim hand perched on her hip. "Hermione Granger get up this instant or I'll get Ronald."
"Boy cant get into the girls dorms" Hermione muttered, snuggling into her covers. "I'll find a way." Ginny warned. Groaning, Hermione stood up and unwrapped herself from the sheets. Throwing them in a heap on her bed, she bent over to get clothes from her trunk. A small piece of papper fluttered down from above her. Unfolding it, she read the messy scrawl.
How are we going to get back? I like it here, well I love it here actually, but we cant stay here forever!
Glancing over at her red-haired friend she shrugged. Dumbledore would find a way to get them back.
o.O.o
"Harry come on mate you have to get up." Rolling over he glared at the persistant redhead. "Can't you guys get food without me?" Ron shook his head. "Remember what happened mate?" looking around irritably, it dawned on him that he wasn't in a tent. He was at Hogwarts. "oh, right." Throwing the sheets off he swung his legs over the side of his bed to face Ron. "How are we going to get back mate? We still have to get the last two horcruxes." Harry whispered. Ron shrugged. "Who knows. Get dressed so we can meet 'Mione and Gin."
o.O.o
"GINNY!" Skipping cheerfully down the staircase, Ron flung his arms around his sister. "Ronald Weasley get off of me." She hadn't relized her slip up. Ron smacked her lightly. "Gin! Carefull what you say!" grinning bashfully, Ginny slipped out from under his arm and ran to Hermione. "Sheild me 'Mione! Sheild me from the evil monster!" Harry watched this from the top of the stairs, amuesent dancing in his eyes. "Come on Harry we have to get down to the Great hall!" Ginny finally relized who was missing from the group and had turned to face him, and beckoned him to come down. "Hurry!" Laughing, he ran down the steps. "Your it!" grinning evilly, he hit Ginny on the arm. "You better run!" she yelled, chasing after him through the corridors. "Ah tag, You gotta love it." Ron exclaimed. Slinging his arm arund Hermione's shoulders, they followed their friends to the Great Hall.
"I definatly beat you here!" Ginny argued, red hair wild around her head. "Gin I entered the hall FIRST so I win!" Harry countered, emerald eyes twinkling. "W-W-Well I sat down first!" Ginny stuttered defiantly. Hermione and Ron slid in next to them. "Hey guys!" Hermione chirped. "Hey lovebirds" Harry answered. Ron snorted. "I could say the same to you two."
"OI!" Sirius marched over to the four friends. "Those are OUR seats!"
'Theres plenty of room." Harry remarked plesently. "But these are OUR seats!" Sirius insisted, pouting cutely. "Actually, they ARE our seats, we've been sitting here since first year!" Ginny snapped, sounding annoyed. James, who had arrived sometime during the conversation, gave her a strange look. "Actually, you guys just started coming here, and we've definatly been sitting here since first year." Buiring his head in his hands, Harry reached out and smacked Ginny. "Just ignoor her. She's a bit scatter-brained at time" Lifting his head he stared at them. "But mate, seriously, I think you can survive if you don't sit in the same spot every day." Harry sounded tired. Almost like Remus after full moon. James grabbed Sirius's arm. "Just sit down next to them mate it's a seat." But Sirius stood his ground. "But its MY seat." He whined. Just then Lily, Dorcas, and Gracie walked by. Hermione reached out and grabbed Lily's arm. "Sit with us?" she asked, flashing her a grin. Lily shrugged. "Why not?" Dorcas looked at the Mauraders, then at Lily, then bacj at the Marauders before rolling her eyes. "I swear you have the WEIRDEST mood swings." Lily stuck her tounge out at her. "I mean one second you hate them, then your all buddie buddie with them!" Gracie added. "Maybe I don't want to be a total arse this year. I want to try and give them a chance. That's what you told me to do" Lily said lowly, giving Gracie a pointed look. Ginny raised her eyebrows and leaned in closer. "You fancy him?" she whispered. The three girls whipped around, shocked. Ginny shrunk under their gazes. "Sorry" she muttered. "Just wondered if that was it" Lily recovered first and smiled grimly. "Yeah" she said softly. "I don't think I hate him anymore but-" she stopped suddenly, relizing they were sitting next to the Mauraders. "Can we talk about it somewhere else? After we get our scheduals?" Ginny nodded. And stood up. "Come on, lets get our scheduals." Holding her hand out to Hermione she helped the young witch up, then turned to Lily and did the same. Dorcas pretended to be offended. "I don't get any help up?" she wimpered, looking sad. "Nope" Ginny responded primly. "Your not special enough." Dorcas and Gracie jumped up and grabbed their bags. "I can see this being a beautiful freindship" Gracie sang as they marched up to Macgonagall.
Once the girls left and after Sirius had finally just sat down next to Ron, James slid in beside him, and Peter beside James. "Hey where's Remus?" Harry asked. It isnt a full moon is it? James's eyes widened. "Crap we forgot to wake him up!" Said boy stumbled into the Great hall, his eyes filled with sleep and sandy blonde hair as wild as James's. Tripping over to where Harry was sitting and sat down beside him. "I hate you James your supposed to wake me up." He muttered, feebly waving his hand near Harry's face. Only Ron could see the battle of emotions raging just beneath the surface of Harry's mask. Concern, sadness, hate, pity, joy, hope. True, it shocked Ron to see how, NORMAL Remus looked. When he was his professor he looked so, worn. Sure Remus's cloak was worn and kinda ratty, but definatly not as bad as they were in the future.
Harry grinned. "I'm not James, Remus." He got a dirty look from said werewolf. "James im already mad at you for not getting me up, don't lie to me, who else would it be?" Sirius leaned across the table. "It's HARRY you loon." Remus's eyes widened and he quickly backtracked. "Oh sorry, I um- I thought uou were James, Im really sorry- didn't mean it," Harry cut him off. "Hey its ok mate, just don't do it again." Harry just couldn't be mad at him. He knew what would happen to him later, after James and Lily died, he was going to try to not loose his temper with the younf werewolf. Peter struck up a conversation with Ron, or he tried to. Ron could barley look at him, let alone talk to him. Instead, he was chatting with Fabian and Gideon Prewett. Harry scanned the room for more people he knew. There was Molly and Arther, then Alice and Frank, and was that Gwen? He though Molly had mentioned something about her at one point. No matter how hard Harry tried, he just couldn't see Peter as innocent, so he consented with ignoring him. Thankfully Professor Macgonagall came with the scheduals so poor Peter didn't have to dwell on the fact that the new boys already didn't like him.
"MINNIE!" Leaping up and cutting off his conversation with James, Harry, and Remus, Sirius threw his arm over Macgonagalls shoulder. "How have you been Minnie darling have you missed me?" Looking annoyed, the professor threw Sirius's arm off her shoulders. "Here's your schedual Black, now go get your things for class." She turned around and started to make her way down the rest of the table. "Minne darling you wound me!" keeling over, Sirius sobbed dramaticly. "Ignoor him" Harry said, pulling said boy up. "He's a git." Sirius grumbled. "Actually Professor I needed to talk to you about something." There was a note of panic in Harry's voice. "Of course Mr. P-Richardson. Come with me." The Mauraders gave Harry a strange look as he walked out, only Ron smiled knowingly. "Why are you smiling?" James demanded. "Cause I know why he's talking to Macgonagall." Ron answered smugly. "Tell us! Come on pleeeeaase!" James begged. Ronn just shook his head silently and turned back to his breakfast. "You'll find out soon enough."
o.O.o
"Yes ?" Professor Macgonagall turned to face Harry once they were back in her office. Shuffling his feet, he flattened his hair nervously. "Well you see Professor, I play quidditch, im a seeker, but my broom, well my broom hasn't exactly been invented yet, so if I use it, it will be way too fast." Looking thoughtful, the strict Professor peered down at him. "I'm guessing you need a broom then? Let me see how fast your broom is, tonight after dinner. Say you have detention. No better yet, actually GET detention." Harry gave his teacher an odd look. "You want me to get in trouble." He said flatly. "Well in my class so I can give you detention."
"can't I just come down to the pitch?" Macgonagal looked thoughtful. "I guess so" she murmered. "OK be there 9 ocklock sharp Potter." He saluted and bowed. "Yes ma'am. And by the way, you should probably get used to calling me Harry Richardson." "You look to much like James" the Professor said sadly, "But I guess I should."
o.O.o
"OK Lily, spill." Gracie crossed her arms and stared at Lily as Dorcas, Hermione, and Ginny surrounded her. "I-I I feel so bad for being mean to James. This year I just want to try and be civil with him." She said softly. "OK why the sudden change of heart?" Dorcas asked, looking confused. "I-I really don't know. But I have to admit, his pranks are kinda funny, and they aren't all that bad. I have to get used to them anyway, cause Remus is a prefect with me." Lily looked around, and the two people wearing understanding smiles were Ginny and Hermione. Gracie looked skeptical and Dorcas still looked confused. "OK guys, come on, we need to get our books." Dashing up towards their dorms, nobody noticed when Ginny and Hermione dropped behind. "What classes do you have?"
"Defense Against the Dark Arts, Charms, Herbology, Potions, History of Magic, and Divination." Ginny replied. "Well we have the same classes untill Divination, you have Ancient Runes." She frowned. "Don't we already know all this stuff?" Hermione laughed. "Don't look so upset about it! It's a plus!"
"Hey you two, hurry up!" running to catch up with their newfound friends, they slipped into the Gryffindor Common room. In the middle of the room were two very familier red-headed twins. "Fred? George?" Ginny wondered aloud, causing Gracie to turn and give her an odd look. "Who are they? These idiot are Gideon and Fabion. They're like the class clowns." Chuckling at the two of them, Gracie pushed her way through the crowd. "Come on people move it! We have to get our stuff and get to class! MOVE OR I"LL HEX YOU!" Gracie bellowed, and had no effect whatsoever on the gathering of people.
"Oh Fred, George I miss you guys." Ginny whispered, skirting the crowd, opposed to trying to push her way through. Just then a stronge hand grabbed her arm. Jerking back, she found herself looking at the copy of Fred. Or George. Both of them really. "Hey Gwen we've been looking for you everywhere you just LEFT us in the Great Hall…" the boys voice died off when he relized the wide brown eyes he was looking into weren't his sisters. He let go of her like he had been scalded by fire. "Sorry Sorry you looked just like my sister Gwen. So if you see someone that looks like you, send her to me." Winking, all traces of astonashment gone, Gideon, or was it Fabion? Disapeared back into the crowd. Ginny stood there, shocked. "This is going to be harder then we thought." She moaned, twirling her hair nervously. "at least no one here looks like me." Hermione commented cheerily, seizing Ginnys elbow and dragging her towards the dorms. "Yeah another Hermione, just what we need."
o.O.o
"Hey what was up with you going to see Minne?" Sirius asked worridly, looking up from his bag when Harry barged into the dorm. Wiping the huge grin off his face, he straitened his glasses and looked Sirius strait in the eyes. "Sorry to tell you this mate, but Minnie's mine now." Trying to push past Sirius to get to his bed, Harry was shocked when Sirius wouldn't let him through. "You what?" Sirius snarled. The look in his eye took Harry back to another time, another place.
"Who's he? Who's that man? On the cover?
"Who"? Who? Whos 'dis? Dat is Sirius Black my friend. Escap' from azkaband."
. How did he do it?"
"Well that da question izzint it? No ones ever 'scaped from azkaband before. Hez a MURDERER. Big sup'orter of you-know-'ou? Recken ya heard o him?"
"Yeah, him I've heard of."
Shaking his head, he looked the boy strait in the eyes. "Yep man, shes mine, so lay off her." Sirius took another step towards him, but Harry held his ground. James looked at Remus, smirking. Sirius could beat this new kid, anyday. Seeing their smirk, it took all of Ron's self-control to not tell them right there, right now, that Harry could beat all of them, hands down. Raising his wand Sirius pointed it at Harry. Raising his eyesbrow, Harry lifted his own wand. Sirius opened his mouth to say something but in a matter of seconds, Harry had shouted "Expeliarmus!" Disarming Sirius, then turning to James and Remus in turn and shouting "Stupifiy!" When he turned to Peter the young boy dropped his wand and ducked behind his four-poster bed.
Roaring with laughter, Ron stood and joined Harry where he was holding Sirius's wand, still pointing it at the grey-eyed boy, and eyeing James and Remus. "They're not Death Eaters mate, let them go." Haryy's eyes flickered towards Peter but he smiled, and quickly muttered the countercurse, letting them all up. "How'd you get that fast?" James asked in an awed voice. "I've had practice. You still going to argue with me about Macgonagall?" His green eyes danced with amusment when Sirius threw his hands up in surrended. 'She's all yours."
"nah I don't really want her, you can have her." Bending to get his books, he didn't miss the offended look Sirius shot him. "Then why did you dissarm me and curse my friends?" Slinging his bag across his shoulder, Harry walked over to where Ron stood by the door. "Calm down Padfoot, I just wanted to see if I could still beat you."
Then, ignooring the strange looks the mauraders gave them, the scarred boy and the red-head started down the stairs.
Meeting the rest of the girls in the common room who were waiting for the Mauraders and the new boys, Ginny ran to Ron immediently. "Look at the two boys in the middle of the room. She instructed. "Turning slowly, he saw Fred and George. "How did they get here?" he whispered angrily. "Look closer!" Turning around again he inspected them. Their hair was slightly longer, a slightly different shade, and their noses were a different shape. Their faces too. "So its two of our uncles?" Ron asked skepticly. "Well who ELSE is it going to be? They're not our brothers. They thought I was some girl Gwen though." Ginny added thoughtfully. "OK I just wanted to show you that so you wouldn't freak out and go talk to them or something. And make sure that its actually me before you start talking too, just in case it's that girl Gwen."
"Gin! Hurry up we're going!"
"So no one cares about me." Ron mumbled, trudging after his sister. Casting one more longing glance at his uncles, he slipped out of the portrait hole.
"So DADA first huh?" The group of 5th years pushed their way through the throng of people. "Yeah I guess we all have the same classes." Dorcas commented. Eyes widening, James cast a longing look over at Lily. "Great. This is going to be a great year. I cant wait." He sang cheerily. Glancing around, he relized they were missing four people. Said four people had dropped behind and were whispering urgently, occasionly glancing up at the Mauraders, or Lily. 'Whats up with them?" Sirius asked, falling into step with James. "I don't know. But they're hiding something. We have to get them to spill."
"Your mind really is a one-track mind isnt it?" Sirius commented. "Shouldn't you be worrying about who or DADA teacher is going to be?" Shrugging, James glanced behind him again. "Yeah I guess. Sure." Rolling his eyes, Sirius grabbed James and yanked him foreward. "Let them be mate, we'll find out soon enough."
o.O.o
"Hello class, I am Professor Wazaney. I am very excited to be working with you this year, but we need to lay down some rules." Rubbing his hands together, the tall kinda chunky, man in front of us began pacing down the ailes. "If you don't listen in class, or goof off, I will make you stand on your desk for the rest of class, and watch as the rest of the class laughs at you. If you continue to goof around, I will pick you desk up and move you outside. If you CONTINUE to goof around outside, I will throw you in a trashcan." Several of the girls exchanged looks of horror, while the boys smiled with glee. "If you disrespect me in my class, I will throw you in a trashcan. If you don't write our name on your papers, I will crumple it up, do a happy dance on it, and throw it in the trashcan. Everyone got that?" Shocked, the class nodded and stayed silent. "OK and remember Everything I say and do Has a Purpose."
James like this teacher. He seemed strict, but he seemed like a kinda funny guy too. Getting out a quill, he doodled absently on his paper, only halfway listening to the speech about OWLs. Scanning the room he saw Remus and Lily were sitting together, Harry and Ron, the kinda bushy-haired girl and the redhead, Dorcas and Gracie, and Peter next to some random Hufflepuff. Glancing back over at Lily, his stomache clenched when she saw her giggle slightly as something Remus must have muttered under his breath. "Excuse me, ? Yeah please look at me, not here. She may be prettier but at the moment I'm more important." Staring up, shocked, at his smirking teacher, his cheeks flushed as the class burst into laughter. "Oh im sorry do you need a hug?" Coming over to where James was sitting, he held his arms out. James cringed away, scooting his chair over. Professor Wazany shrugged. "No? Ok then on with the lecture that I would rather not give you." He spouted off about OWLs again, making a jab about the tests or students occasionly. Brow furrowed, James desperatly tried to think of a way to prank his new teacher.
o.O.o
"Thinking of someone to prank already mate?" Sirius's amuesed voice broke through James's haze of concentration. "They new Professor." James snarled, scuffling his feet on the stone floor. "I thought he was brilliant." Harry commented. "Well I didn't."
"That's just because he teased you" Remus pointed out, taking Sirius and Harry's side. "You don't have to be so protective about it." Ron threw in. James turned to Peter. "Are you going to side with them too?" He asked desperatly. Peter nodded, turning James's expression sour. "Fine we wont prank him."
"You were planning to prank me?" Professor Wazany's amuesed voice sounded behind them. James turned slowly, smiling bashfully. "No?" Raising his eyebrow, their teacher turned on his heel and strode away. "Cause if you do I'll throw you in a trashcan!" His voice floated back towards them, sending them into fits of laughter.
"Come on guys! Charms!" Lily's eager voice called out, dragging her friends down the corridor. "Lils calm down! We're not going to be late!" Shaking her hand out of Lily's vice grip, Dorcas wrinkled her nose. "You have problems sweetheart."
"I second that" Ginny cried. "I.. third it?"Gracie asked, sounding confused. "Is that even a word?" Hermione was the only person who didn't agree. "Hermione?" Ginny asked, a smile creeping across her face. " I like charms." Hermione said in a small voice, swinging her hair over her face. "Ah and the bookworm resurfaces!" Ginny cried, throwing her arms around a shocked Hermione. "I was wondering when your studious side would show!" Gracie rolled her eyes and grabbed the two girls. "Ok ok stop reliving memories and hurry up." Laughter echoing through the corridors, the girls dashed to their next class.
o.O.o
At dinner that night, they all sat togather, to the surprise of the rest of the school. The Mauraders and the Lionetts (as they were called, mostly for always going against the Mauraders.) NEVER sat anywhere near each other. They hated each other! Ignooring the whispers and stares, the two groups sat down and ate, and laughed at the faces of their peers. Lily actually talked to James and Sirius without blowing a gaskett, Ron managed to talk to Peter after relizing he wasn't a Death Eater yet, Dorcas and Gracie also managed to talk to Sirius with killing him, while Harry, Ginny, and Hermione dove into everyones conversation, just glad they could know these people as kids, before everything went bad. As they stood to leave the hall, (Harry going to the quidditch pitch) Harry muttered to the Golden trio+Ginny
"Room of Requirement, 11 ocklock."
Soooo is it ok? I kind of had to rush the end because my mom wanted me off the computer but I hope its ok. Tell me what you think!
