Chapter 4 - Spilling Secrets

It reached half seven and I got out the pool, drying off and changing quickly. Asking the room to change so that it had two sofas, three armchairs, loads of food, and six complete sets of the Harry Potter book, my laptop, ipod, writing and drawing things. I settled down to write for a while, and then at ten past eight, there was a knock at the door.

"I believe I said eight, not ten past? Come on, in. I think I ought to give you an explanation."

"Too right you do." Sirius muttered as they went in to the room and sat down.

"Shut up Sirius. Right. I turned seventeen on 8th July, 2014. And don't say anything until I'm done, 'kay? Anyway, so I was just lying on my bed, reading, and I wished I was here at the exact moment I came into my magic. Somehow or other, I dragged Robert with me, and we ended up in Hogwarts two days ago. Dumbledore says we should stay here, because there is no way we can go home. Ever." I took a deepbreath before continuing. "And I've decided that I am going to change the past. As in stopping you lot from dieing. And causing a massive paradox doing that, but for you to believe me, you will need to read those books. And don't argue, just read them. Start with the Philsopher'sStone, the rest are in order from there. And no comments on relationships, or anything else for that matter." I gave them my best Death Glare, opened my laptop and plugged in my ipod to recharge.

"Wait, did you say you can never go home?" I nodded, unable to speak. Lily padded across the room, barefoot as she had taken off her shoes to curl up on one of the sofas, and put her arm round my shoulders as I broke down crying.

"Shh. It'll be okay. We'll work through this. Together. I promise." Robert said, crouching down in front of me.

"Thanks," I sniffed and dried my eyes. Lily moved back to her seat, and grabbed the first book.

"Lils, you're as bad as I am."

"Another one that should be in Ravenclaw." Robert sighed

"Shut up about that already. And besides, the hat said I'd do well in any house."

"Lily, I am going to kill your sister if I ever get my hands on her."

"I don't have a sister. Mum disowned me after Dad got killed in one of the raids over the summer."

"I had no idea..." James's face softened and Lily leaned against him, her head on his shoulder. I smiled at the way they had changed so quickly, and looked over at the other two Marauders. Somehow, two of the armchairs had changed into another sofa, and Sirius was leaning on Remus's shoulder. I grinned, and Robert saw my look.

"Oh no. Not the matchmaking look. Remember how much trouble we got into last time?" Then he saw where I was looking.

"Oh no. No way. That is going too far." I gave him my best innocent look.

"Still no." Puppy dog eyes.

"Immune from the amount of times you've used those." Death glare.

"OK, OK. But don't drag me into it this time. I'm not risking it."

"Fine." And we sat there, and Lily, James, Remus and Sirius read whilst Robert and I alternated between computer, reading (Robert), or drawing (me). I drew the four together, separate and in pairs. They were actually the best portraits I had done in a while.

**********

I looked up, and saw what book Sirius was reading. Bugger. It was the Prisoner of Azkaban. This was not good. Sirius changed into Padfoot, whined, and started pacing. I got up and sat down in front of him.

"Shh. It's ok, it wasn't you. It was Pettigrew. You would never do that, they're all to bloody thick to realise that. Though I have a suspicion that Dumbledore wasbehind this." I said in a low voice so that the others couldn't hear. "I swear, it's not you. Although you might get a shock in the fifth book." I muttered the last part as Sirius changed back.

"What did you just say?" He asked sharply.

"I said I might have to do this all over again in the fifth book. Although that might be worse."

"Why?"

"Because something really bad happens...and I'm not telling you what, because I don't really want to go into it yet. And don't sulk, please."

"Fine." Sirius went back to reading. I sighed, not looking forward towhen they got to Sirius's death. That would be bad.

**********

I looked up again, a couple of hours later. Uh-oh. Sirius was on the fifth book.

"Sirius, what bit are you on?"

"I'm currently dueling Bellatrix...I die?!" Back to Padfoot.

"This is what I was talking about earlier, Pads. A lot of people die in this."

"How many?" Remus asked.

"James, Lily, Sirius, Pettigrew, Remus, Tonks, Fred, Dumbledore, Snape, Voldemort, Ted Tonks, Dobby, Colin Creevey, Parvati Patil, Cedric Diggory, Quirrel, Crabbe, Hedwig, Bellatrix, Barty Crouch, both Jr. and Sr, Amelia Bones and Scrimgeour. And a whole load of Death Eaters."

"Who got Bella?" I hadn't noticed that Sirius had changed back as I rattled off the list.

"Molly Weasley, Because Bella went for Ginny. At least I think it was Ginny...Oh, and Harry died to get rid of the horcrux, and then came back to life, Bill got mauled by Greyback in human form, and Snape died on our side. Somehow that helped Harry win."

"That makes no sense at all."

"Well hurry up, and you can get to that bit then."

**********

"I think we ought to sleep in here. I really can't be bothered to move, and I'm tired." Six sleeping bags appeared on the floor, and we immediately began fighting over them. I got the pink one, in between Robert and Lily, who was next to James, who was next to Sirius, who was next to Remus.

"Room, you couldn't get our night things, could you?" Six sets of night things appeared on the sleeping bags.

"Thanks!" I grabbed my PJ's, and headed through a separate doorto change. I guessed that the others followed suit, as when I came back out, they were all in sleeping bags, reading again. It was nearing one in the morning! But they were Marauders...I grabbed the last book, and started reading.

"Hey, how come you get to start from the end?"

"Because one, I've already read them, two, the last one's the best, and three, when I'm not reading a series for the first time, I start at the end and work backwards. Can I read now? And if you try to read them out of order, you will get hexed." I lay there, reading, and somehow, Robert got hold of my sketchbook, and passed it to Lily, and it got passed around.

"These are really good, Bea."

"Hey, Give that back!" I yelled when I realised that they had it, which resulted in my chasing Sirius around the room. Eventually, I stopped and glared at him.

"I will get you for this, Sirius Black!"

"Uh-oh. This isn't good. Which generally means Prank War. Really not good." Robert and James muttered to Lily at the same time whilst Remus looked on in amusement.

"The Prank War starts tomorrow morning. Two rules. You can only get people in this room to help, and the only people that can get caught in the crossfire are Slytherins. Agreed?"

"Agreed" Robert now looked worried.

"This really isn't good. I think Bea might have met her match against the Marauders."

"Robert, Lily, you're with me, right?"

"Course."

"Good. I'm gonna need it."

"You do realise that we are so dead now."

"No we're not. 'Sides, if we use Shield Charms constantly and our rooms are already warded against them, we'll be fine."

"Brilliant!" We began to plan. Lily came up with the idea of checking what we ate beforehand, and spying on them so we knew what expect.

**********

We still hadn't figured out a way to spy on the Marauders, but even after a week, they had only got us a couple of times, whereas we had got them loads.

"Truce?" I looked up from where I was working on my homework, to see Sirius sitting across from me.

"Truce. Hey, you done the Defense essay yet?"

"Probably not., but Moony has."

"'Kay, thanks. I'll ask him when he turns up again. He's in the Hospital Wing, isn't he?"

"Yeah. It's been worse than normal, he broke a couple of bones and cut himself up really bad."

"Wonder why...Crap! I think I do know why, and if I'm right, then we are in deep shit." That said, I pelted down to the Library, grabbing every book I could find on , I found what I was looking for. It said that all werewolves have a mate, but they have to know each other for a while before anything happens. And transformations will get steadily worse until the werewolf in question acknowledges their mate. Uh-oh. Reading on, I found a spell to determine who a werewolf's mate was. I tried it, and I got nothing. So I was wrong. Hmm...interesting

**********

"Were you right?"

"No. Thank God."

"He's asking for you."

"What?"

"Remus. Hospital Wing. Asking for you." Noticing the look on Sirius's face, realisation dawned on me.

"You like him, don't you?" I said softly.

"Yeah." Sirius dropped into the seat opposite me.

"He hasn't got a chance in hell with me, if that's what you're thinking. I've been in love for six years and counting. Remus is more like a brother to me anyway. Anyway, you said Hospital Wing, yes?" We headed down to the Hospital Wing, caught by several other students that seemed to think we were a couple. They couldn't be more wrong.

**********

"Hey, where's James and Lily?"

"I told them to piss off when they started arguing again." I snorted. We chatted for a while, until I remembered something.

"Remus, I need to go to the Library, but I will be back as soon as I can, promise."

"Why?"

"Because I have a feeling that we are in much deeper shit than I thought." I ran out of the room, back to the Library, and pulled out the werewolf books again. I found what I wanted in Werewolves:The Facts. It said "When a werewolf finds an Alpha werewolf or a wizard with the Animagus form of an Alpha wolf, though the latter is extremely rare, the transformations will get increasing harder to bear until the werewolf in question runs with the Alpha's pack or the Alpha joins the werewolf at full moon." I slammed the book shut after copying it down and headed back to the Hospital Wing.

**********

"Found the problem."

"What?"

"Read this." I handed the piece of parchment to Remus and Sirius read over his shoulder.

"What did you think it was at first?"

"Mates. So I looked it up to find the spell to determine who it was, and I got nothing. You haven't decided yet. Catch!" I threw a bar of best Honeydukes chocolate at them and pulled out my bar of Toblerone.

"So, when's Pomfrey letting you out? 'Coz we really need to have a Marauders meeting about this."

"Should be tomorrow morning. She's been a nightmare. I can't do anything!"

"Looks like we're sneaking down tonight then." I sighed. "Oh well, at least I get to the Cloak. Finally."

"No way. You are not sneaking out for me."

"Yes we are. Call it security measures for the Alpha thing, and I'm not coming alone. Oh, and I've had a great idea for the Slytherin Common Room."

"What?"

"Ever heard of post-it notes?" Remus laughed.

"That would be brilliant! And they wouldn't know what they are. We could cover them in anti-pureblood stuff and stick it to them so they can't get it off..."

"...And have multiplying spells on them so when they try, there's more!" I finished. "Absolutley brilliant!" I rushed off to find James and run it by him.

**********

"Why not tonight?"

"James. we've been over this a hundred times already. Moony's stuck here, and therefore, so are we. Tomorrow! Got it?"

"Fine."

"Hey, I still need a nickname."

"Sirius..."

"Why me?"

"Coz you came up with them last time."

"Fine." The disinherited Black grumbled.

"You three, out!" Pomfrey pretty much shoved us out the door.

"See ya soon Remy!" The three of us ran out to play in the forest in our Animagus forms
