A/N: Okay, not that anyone really reads this besides those who already know what's happened, here's why it's taken so long...

1) Familial difficulties. (We won't get into that.)

2) Writer's block. (I seriously had to go on a Brainstorming Walk with Toxic in order to figure out what the stupid plot was going to be...

3) Boyfriend. (Yeah. I have one of those. Shocker, huh?)

4) Laziness. (Well, I'm only 18 and human. Sue me.)

Plus... I kind of hate the way this whole thing is written. I can write about the Marauder Era with no difficulty, as long as I don't add OC's. However, this story is not really mine. I've dedicated the whole thing to XToxicLullabyX, so this is her story, since she wants to use my writing abilities (or lack of) to live her fantasies through my stories...

Also, I hope these breaks work better than the others did...

Dislcaimerz: I doesn't owns HP. J.K. Rowling does. However, I'd trade anything I own to live at Hogwarts.

On with the show:

-X-X-X-X-X-

"Shut it, Blondie!" screamed Jay and Siren at the same time. The four students not of thise time were still in the hidden corridor, arguing.

Smirking, Draco continued, "I'm merely pointing out that this is completely her fault."

"You little prat! I had no idea what the thing was! I thought it was a damn necklace," snarled Jayden as she flung the TimeTurner around in the air, expressing her anger.

Draco snatched the object from the angry redhead, "Be careful with that, stupid wench! My father showed me how to tamper with these things in order to move forward in time."

The three girls grew silent as they watched Draco begin to wave his wand, muttering spells under his breath. After a moment, he stepped back, holding the TimeTurner in his palm.

"Er, it broke," he muttered, glaring at the offending piece of metal.

"Broke? What do you mean it broke!" exclaimed Jayden.

"It's self-explanitory, idiot," sneered Draco. Moments later, Jayden hand drawn her wand and trained it in between Draco's eyes.

"Why, you little-" Jayden began but was cut off suddenly by her best friend Kismet.

"Stop. Both of you. We have to find a way out of here, soon," she said as she stepped between the two, fixing them both with an evil glare.

"But how, Kiss?" asked Siren, fear seeping through her voice.

-X-X-X-X-X-

Four students were running up the stairs from the Entrance Hall frantically. The two in front were easily the most noticeable. Both were girls, one short with fiery red hair, and the other tall with long, golden locks. The other two lagged behind, only jogging, and both held contained looks upon their faces. The boy had blonde hair and steely grey eyes, and kept sending angry glares at the brunette girl beside him, who returned the looks in kind. After a moment, all four had disappeared around a corner, leaving behind the four flabbergasted boys who had been decending the stairs at the time of their passing.

"Er, did anyone recognize those students?" Remus Lupin asked of his friends as he stared up at the higher landing above.

"No," said Peter Pettigrew with his eyebrows furrowed, "You'd think we would, wouldn't you?"

"Seeing as how we actually attend this school," finished Sirius Black.

"I think the bloke looked a bit like Lucius Malfoy with a haircut," commented James Potter, the undeclared leader of the group.

Sirius suddenly looked unaffected, "What's it matter, eh? Let's just get to the Hall. I'm starving."

By the time the boys had sat down at the Gryffindor table for dinner, the incident was completely forgotten.

Meanwhile, the four mysterious students were now standing in front of a pair of gargoyles shouting random words in hopes that the wall in front of them would open.

"Uh, Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans?"

"Ew! No one likes those, Jay. How about Snickers?"

"What in Merlin's name is a Snicker? Fizzing Whizbees, you stupid statue."

"What on Earth is a Fuzzy Whizbee, Blondie? Chocolate Cauldrons!"

"Jayden, you suck at guessing. Drooble's Best Blowing Gum, please."

"Apparently you suck as well, Kiss. Chocolate Frogs."

"Icy Pops? Mars Bars? Lemon Drops-"

"Siren! Stop guessing Muggle cand-," Siren's sister, Jayden, was cut off mid-sentence as the gargoyles suddenly moved and the wall revealed an open passage.

With a triumphant grin, Sirenity Cortez flounced onto the spiral staircase first, the others following behind with open mouths.

"Dumbledore enjoys Lemon Drops?" Draco Malfoy whispered to Kismet as they climbed the stairs.

She smiled shortly in return before catching herself and scowling, "Apparently so, Blondie," she sneered, adopting Jayden's nickname for him, "now, keep moving!"

Draco scowled in return and turned his back on the brunette, silently wishing he could get away from the insufferable twits around him.

-X-X-X-X-X-

"Well, I suppose there isn't much we can do except enroll you in classes. I suspect you're all sixth-years?" the ancient man with the long, white beard looked slightly less-well, ancient-in this time, Jayden thought. The twinkle in the blue eyes behind the half-moon spectacles was present, and he looked nearly ecstatic at their company.

"Excuse me," said Kismet very politely, "but, shouldn't we be searching for a way home?"

"I would very much like that, Miss Vangley, but you see, it will take months to order a new TimeTurner from the Ministry and even longer to find a spell suitable enough to send you all back-excuse me, forward-to your own time," said Headmaster Dumbledore with a smile.

"So, there's no way we can opt out of this?" asked Jayden glumly.

The Headmaster smiled, eyes twinkling merrily as if he were Father Christmas himself, and opened his hands palm-up.

"I truly am sorry for your dilemma."

-X-X-X-X-X-

The following morning found Draco and Kismet at the Slytherin Table in the Great Hall, and Sirenity and Jayden at Gryffindor's.

Meanwhile, the Marauders were busy planning a new prank they'd come up with when Sirius noticed the two girls they'd seen running through the halls the evening before.

"Who do you reckon they are?" asked Sirius glancing down the breakfast table at the two new Gryffindor sixth-years.

"Who cares? Leave it alone, Padfoot," Remus said, not looking up from his morning edition of the Daily Prophet.

"I bloody well will not! That blonde has serious potential!" Sirius exclaimed as he turned to stare more at the new girls.

"I think the redhead is pretty. She kind of reminds me of Evans," remarked Peter.

James sent a glare his way, "Are you insinuating any girl could come even close to my love, Lily?"

The three others groaned. Sirius, being the least sensitive in regards to his best mate's feelings, said, "Prongs! She's gone for a year! Let it go already!"

When James looked affronted, Remus said gently, "What Padfoot means is, maybe it's time you tried going for another girl for once. Lily won't be back until next year, so you should at least attempt to move forward. This pining cannot be healthy."

"I can't move on! She's not dead, she's just-"

"Not here," Sirius cut in, "Mate, let it go. For the sake of your sanity, if not ours."

James gathered his books and stood from the table, "I'll see you lot in class."

As he strolled down the space between the tables, Peter called out, "James! Are you done with your breakfast?"

Sirius took the liberty of slapping the back of his friend's head as Remus shooks his sadly, "Oh, Peter."

Down the table from the Marauders, the two aforementioned girls were engrossed in a different conversation.

"I don't like it here, Jay, the guys look all funny and 70's-ish," whined Siren to her sister.

"I don't very well enjoy being in a different country as well as a different time, either, Siren. However, we're stuck here, so we might as well make the best of it," replied Jay as she smeared jelly on a buscuit.

"But, I can't make the best of anything with all these weird-looking-"

"Hello, ladies." A tall, handsome boy with shoulder-length dark hair and smoldering eyes suddenly sat on the left of Siren and cut through her sentence.

"Who are you?" asked Sirenity with interest.

Jayden mumbled, "A weird-looking 70's-ish boy..."

The boy held out a hand to shake, "Sirius Black at your service."

Jayden snorted, "What kind of service?"

Sirius Black shrugged indifferently, "Any service, really."

"Great!" exclaimed Jayden, "Could you get me a cookie? I need sugar."

"A what?" he asked.

"Coo-kie. Dear God, how do you not know what a cookie is?"

"Here, I think this is what you are asking for," two other males, one with sandy brown hair and the other with watery eyes, appeared on Jayden's right and one was holding out a cookie. "For future reference, we call them buscuits."

"Thanks, Cookie-Boy!" she said happily, taking the food and munching quietly.

"Girls, this is Remus Lupin and Peter Pettigrew, my minions," said a disgruntled Sirius as he gestured to the others.

The cookie-boy rolled his eyes and held out his hand to Jayden, "I'm Remus, a friend of Sirius's, although I'm not quite sure why I am at the moment." Jayden smirked in response.

"I'm Peter," said the mousy-looking boy with watery eyes, "also a friend, and I agree with Moon-er, Remus."

"Well, Peter and Moon-er Remus," began Jayden as she gathered her things, "It was nice to meet you both but we've got to dash. We should begin searching for our first class, as we have no idea where we're going."

As Siren stood reluctantly, Sirius bounded to his feet, "We can show you, for a price."

Jayden narrowed her eyes, "What price?"

"Your names."

Scoffing, Jayden turned away, "No thanks."

"But, J-" Siren began as her sister slapped a hand over her mouth.

"We'll find it on our own. Later, boys," called Jayden as she pulled Siren away.

"Okay, how are we going to find," Siren looked at her timetable, "the Transfiguration classroom?"

"Easy, we'll ask Blondie."

-X-X-X-X-X-

"No."

"But you have the same class! We'll just follow you!" said Jayden angrily.

"I refuse to be an escort to the three most obnoxious birds I've ever met."

"Blon-Uh, Draco. Please?" said Siren sweetly.

"No," he refused.

Sirenity and Jayden looked angry, but Kismet was the first to speak up.

"Fine," shrugged Kiss. "See you in class, then!" The other girls turned to their friend, most likely to protest, but she silenced them with a pointed look.

Draco raised an eyebrow, "you aren't going to fight?"

"No," said Kiss with her arms crossed.

He seemed confused, but shrugged anyway, "Fine. See you."

As he walked quickly away, Kismet turned her back to him and counted, "Three, two, one."

"Are you three coming, or not?" called the voice of Draco Malfoy.

Kismet smirked and pulled the others along both with mouths hanging agape.

-X-X-X-X-X-

As the four entered the classroom, a voice called out, "Hello, there! Come over and sit with us!"

Jayden looked around the room and spotted Sirius Black seated next to another boy with dark, messy hair, and Peter Pettigrew. Just as Siren flitted away to sit between the boy with glasses and Sirius, Draco and Kismet began to move to the opposite side of the classroom, where the seats were awash in silver and green.

It took only a moment to decide which seat to take, but Siren began to flip her hair and flirt obnoxiously. Turning away from her sister, Jayden followed Blondie and Kiss to a table with two empty chairs.

Just as she began removing her books from her bag, the seat next to her pulled out from the table. Jayden looked up to meet the light brown eyes of Remus Lupin.

"Well, if it isn't Cookie Boy," she said with a smile.

He smiled in return, "They're buscuits, actually."

"Tomato, potato," Jayden shrugged. Remus sent her a questioning look, which she determinedly ignored.

"Oh no, what's Siren doing now?" Kismet had turned to see their blonde friend pull a hair-flip-arm-touch move on Sirius's friend.

"Flirting. As always," replied Jayden, "Where's the damn teacher? All I see is a cat."

"Hey, I think I actually kicked that cat in the fu-er, I mean back home," Kismet said, watching Remus warily.

Jayden's eyebrows raised, "You kicked a cat?"

Kismet nodded, "And then sent a Stinging Hex after it."

After the last seat had been filled by a student, the cat sprung from the teacher's seat and transformed into-

"Professor McGonagall?" Jayden asked, incredulous. "She's an animagus!"

"Oh hell," groaned Kismet, "I'm going to get detention when we get back."

"Twenty points from Slytherin, Miss Vangley, for that horrid display of vocabulary. I realize you and your friends come from the States, but we do not speak such language in Britain."

"Thought we were in Scotland," mumbled Kiss as Jayden sniggered behind her hand.

-X-X-X-X-X-

As the class period wore on, Jayden became less focused on the lesson and more on the giggling coming from across the room.

"Dear God, does she ever stop?" she whispered to Kiss.

"Ha. Do you even know your sister?" scoffed Kismet with a grin.

"Of course I do! Have since we were young. Seems that she was a lot less annoying when we were kids."

"Oh, James, you're so funny!"

Both girls coughed, "Slut."

A moment later, Jayden spoke again, "You know, this is sad. We're supposed to be her best friends."

Kismet looked up from her work once again, confused, "We are her best friends."

"Then why are we so mean to her?" asked Jayden.

"Because only the best of friends tell the truth."

"So, she's truthfully a slut?"

"Yes."

"That's not nice."

"We don't have to be nice, we just have to love her," said Kiss as she turned back to her notes.

"But... love's abstract."

"Also true."

"That's contradictory," Jayden pointed out.

"That's also true."

"Stop that."

Both girls errupted into a fit of laughter, to which McGonagall sent a glare their way.

"Okay, now that's just unfair," remarked Jayden to Remus as the teacher turned away moments later.

"What might that be?" he inquired, his eyes still trained on his notes as his quill moved quickly across the parchment.

"Your friend and Sirenity are making much more noise than we are, and they're plenty annoying. Why do Kismet and I get the evil eye?"

"Well," he began, "James and Sirius are normally the ones in trouble, especially with Minnie. I suppose since both you and I are on the wrong side of the classroom, it sparks interest, and therefore McGonagall pays more attention to this table particularly."

"That's not right."

"That's life."

With a disgruntled sigh, Jayden turned back to her notes as well, and was determined to remain silent for the remainder of the class period.

Meanwhile, there was still a faint giggling coming from the Gryffindors' side of the room.

"James! Give that quil bac-"

"Mister Potter and Miss Cortez, could you please cease the inane chatter before I separate the two of you?" called the stern voice of Professor McGonagall.

Jayden leaned back in her seat with a contented sigh, "Ah, sweet justice."

-X-X-X-X-X-

"Don't forget the essay on Newkirk's Laws of Transfiguration from the thirteenth century!" called Professor McGonagall to the retreating backs of her class.

"Er, Jayden," began Remus as he looked toward the ground. Class had been dismissed and the students were milling around outside in the corridor, "I was wondering if you wanted to...er, that is to say...walking around the lake seems-"

A light blush spread across Jayden's cheeks, "Oh. Well, yeah... a walk sounds-"

"I mean if you don't want to, it's okay."

"No," said Jayden, finally looking up at the Lupin boy, "A walk around the lake sounds lovely. I'll meet you in the Entrance Hall an hour before dinner, okay?"

Remus smiled slightly, "Okay. Sounds great."

Kismet looked on at the budding romance in amusement. Slinging an arm around her friend's shoulders as the boy walked away, she said, "Ah, young love. Disgusting, but highly entertaining!"

Jayden pushed Kismet away, still blushing like mad, "Oh, go away."

"Have to, soon. I've got Potions, what've you got?"

"I don't know. Siren has the schedule..." Jayden trailed off, eyes scanning for her sister, "where is the slut, anyway?"

"Here I am!" sighed Sirenity as she leaned on Jayden-"Both of you: keep off of me!"- "And I'm so happy at the moment, I don't even care what you two call me! How was the class for you both?"

"Well, I took excellent notes, made Blondie suffer the entire class period because of my presence, and Jayden was asked on a date for this evening. What about you?" asked Kismet with a grin.

Sirenity looked shocked, "You-you were asked out, Jay?"

"Appears so," Jayden mumbled absently as she searched Siren's bag for the timetable. When she found it, she continued, "Oh, yeah. You remember Remus, right? Cookie boy?"

Confusion cleared from Siren's eyes as she comprehended what Jayden had said, "Oh, right! Wow! He's cute."

Kismet shrugged, "He's alright. I think that Black is easily the cutest."

"No way," Sirenity argued as she shook her head, "James is the cutest and the funniest and the sweetest-"

"And did he ask you out?" cut in Kismet, looking smug.

"Uh... no," said Siren sadly. She looked down for a moment, then perked back up, as always, "but I'm sure it's just because he wants to take things slow!"

"Sure, Siren. Wait, where'd Blondie go, Kiss?" asked Jayden, suddenly looking around for their resident tour guide.

"Holy sh-" began Kismet as she was rudely cut off.

"Language, Kismet!"

"English, Jay. Thanks for asking. Now where did that ass hole go?"

The three girls began down the hall, in search of the blonde boy. After a few more minutes, the search was called off, and the Marauders had galliantly offered their services as tour guides.

"Well, that's all very lovely for you two, but what the hell am I going to do?" cried Kismet.

"Allow me," said a soft voice behind the girls. Kismet whirled on the spot, "My name is Lucius, and I also have Potions for my next class. May I escort you?" He offered his arm to Kismet.

Eyebrows raised, she turned down the hall, "Show me, but I'm not taking your arm. Git."

"Hmmm... feisty." Sirenity and Jayden snickered into their hands as they watched the two walk away. Lucius attempted to snake an arm around Kismet's waist, but she easily evaded his touch.

-X-X-X-X-X-

Another boring A/N: Okay, question. My friend Toxic thinks Hogwarts is actually a college (she's a senior in high school, therefore too old to actually attend Hogwarts for too long if we went by canon). I thought about actually writing a college-based Hogwarts story... Nothing too fancy, but definitely no OC's. If anyone else thinks they'd like this probably already-used and totally unoriginal idea, send me a PM or just review.
