Ginny POV

"How the HELL did you find out?" James yelled again, red sparks flying from his wand. "Hey mate calm dow-" Ron moved forward to try and intercept James, but was stopped by Sirius. "Back up" he growled. Harry and Hermione pushed past Gracie. "Whats going on?" she demanded. "Why are you guys attacking Gin?" James rounded on Hermmione. "Why are we attacking her?" he hissed, eyes burning, "Maybe it's because she mysteriously knows about Remus's problem." Hermione blinked once, and tilted her head, like a confused puppy. "So? We do too, but we don't care!" Sirius and Gracie looked shocked at this information, and instantly their wands were up again. By now Peter had even caught on and was pointing his wand at Harry, looking a bit uncertain.

"But if they don't care" Peter questioned slowly, "Why does it matter how they found out? If they're not going to tell anyone..." He shot Harry a worried look. "You aren't going to tell anyone are you?" Laughing softly, Harry shook his head. "No, we would never do that." He looked pained as he said it, and I felt a pang of guilt for him. They were accusing him of betraying one of the adults he trusted most. Of course, Remus hadn't exactly been his teacher yet, so that might be part of it.

Sirius squared his shoulders and prodded me with his wand, making Harry and Ron hiss. "Go on, I don't want Pomfery coming back to find us arguing. We're going back to the dorms."

They was back was tense. I clung to Harry, while Hermione clung to Ron. "You don't think we're going to have to tell them everything do you?" I breathed in Harry's ear nervously. The same thing seemed to have occured to him and he swore softly. "I really hope not." He whispered back, "Otherwise we're screwed." I knew what he meant. If we told them we were time travelers from the future they would probably kill us. Or think we were crazy. Or tell the whole school we were crazy. All of them were valid options. "So what are we going to tell them?" I murmured. I waited for his answer, trying to ignore the cold eyes staring at us from behind.

"Lies"

o.O.o.O.o.O.o

We sat down on the floor in the middle of the room, back to back, just the like in the Great Hall on the day we time traveled. "So, what questions do you want answered?" i asked in an offhand voice. "How do you know about Remus?" Sirius shot, but his voice betrayed him, cracking slightly at the end of his question. "Easy, it's kinda obvious, and when he came back from his "mothers" the first time covered in scars, i decided to look into it." Hermione answered. Thank god she answered, if anyone besides her said that it would raise some serious suspision, no pun intended. James and Gracie still seemed a bit confused, looking extremely similar and I had to hold back a giggle at their expressions. "Guys come on why does it matter?" I asked sharply. "It's not like we're SCARED of him or we CARE! He's still a human being!" The group looked shocked. "What if we knew someone where we were from who was a werewolf?" Hermione said quietly. "How do you know we weren't friends with them?" Gracie looked extremely guilty, but continued to glance out the window.

"Ok ok i believe you, I'm going to go though." Standing, she left the room hurriedly, giving the rest of the Marauders one backwards glance before she left. "By guys" I whispered, slipping the invisibility cloak out of Harry's pocket and into my own. Taking Hermione's hand, I dragged her down the stairs and threw the cloak over us, and sat, waiting for the boys to come down. Minutes past, and Gracie slipped into the common room, and the rest of the Marauders soon followed. "Where's the cloak?" Sirius hissed. "We're going to have to do without it!" Gracie snapped back. "We can't leave Remus their alone!" She transformed into a cat, while Peter turned into a rat, and followed James and Sirius out of the common room.

"Are they gone?" Harry's voice sounded down the stairs. "Yeah it's all clear. Come on hurry up if we want to go roam the grounds." They scuttled down the stairs. "Come on, come on, hurry" Throwing the cloak over Harry an Ron, we flew out of the dorm, ignoring the Fat Lady's calls, and sped out onto the grounds. Stuffing the cloak in my pocket, I let out a whoop of joy and transformed into a dark auburn horse with a chestnut mane and a white diamond on my forehead. Grinning at me, Harry turned into a dark brown stag with a white lightning bolt etched above his eyes. Ron, into a shaggy auburn dog, and Hermione into a sleek black otter.

Hermione(Webs) leaped onto My(Mane) back. Ron(Wags) nipped at Harry's(Hoofs) heels and barked happily, zigzagging towards the forest. Neighing, i followed the two into the forbidden forest. Hoofs nudged at my flank and egged me on, leading me into a chase throughout the trees. I was having more fun that I'd had in a while. Truth be told, I was forgetting why I was there. Forgetting the dates and the time, forgetting who else was in the forest. I had been so safe for the longest amount of time, not on the run or looking out for myself. So when I heard Wags's warning bark, it didn't really register until a large claw shot out and drew a gash down my cheek

Rearing up, i lashed out, kicking the werewolf strait in the face. Guilt shot through me when i relized i had just kicked Remus. Panic came in when i understood I had just angered a werewolf. Shaking the blood out of my eyes, I back up quickly, allowing Wags and Hoofs to take over, driving Moony back. Webs clung to my mane, and i looked around wildly in panic. Where werre the Marauders? Why weren't they with Remus? Neighing urgently, I tried to call Wags and Hoofs off. They wouldn't stand a chance against an angry werewolf, even if they were strong and full-grown wizards. Plus Remus didn't trust them, He didnt know who they were! We needed the Marauders!

I charged forwards again, driving Moony off. Please please why can't the Marauders show up. A flurry of tell-tale hoof-beats and paw steps sounded behind us. Ah. Here's the Marauders. A double of Harry intercepted me and began to drive off Moony, but in a kinder way then we had. A big, black dog took Ron's place, and a small black cat lashed out at Moony, causing him to snarl and take off after the cat. After having a silent conversation, the dog shot off but the stag stayed. Where's Peter? I thought absently, but all thoughts were banished from my mind as the tall stag melted into a tall, gangly teenager with messy black hair and rimed glasses.

"Who are you?" James's shaky voice asked. "What are you doing here?" His large hazel eyes were scared as Hoofs stepped forwards. Should we change back? Giving Hoofs and urgent glance, i felt slightly miffed as I was ignored when he bowed, quite like a hippogriff actually, symbolizing we wouldn't hurt him. James's eyes widened, and slipped forwards slowly, hand out. His palm stopped inches from Hoofs muzzle. The stag nudged his hand, and james's face split into a large smile. Almost as if on cue, Webs jumped down from my back and ambled up to the boy. Looking down at the animal walking around his feet, he frowned slightly as he scooped her up. "An otter? Weird bunch of animals" Resting his other hand somewhat absently on Wags's nose, he glanced around us. "an otter, a stag, a horse, and a dog." I snorted lightly, licking his cheek. James giggled and pushed me away. He was so thick. But what i had done seemed to ring a bell in his tiny little mind.

"Your animaguses" he breathed in awe. "I thought we were the only ones." Placing Webs gently on the ground, he rubbed Wags's nose one last time, and petting Hoofs and I he stepped away. "I'm sorry I have no IDEA who you are, and I really do have to go!" He grew up, antlers sprouting from his head and fur shooting from his skin. In less then a second a tall magestic stag stood in front of us. Nodding his head slightly, Prongs galloped off.

Without looking at anyone, I changed back to myself, everyone else not far behind me. "Harry James Potter what were you THINKING!" I scolded angrily, slapping him on the chest. "Ginny..." Harry's voice trailed off. Glancing around I shrugged. "What?" Hermione's face was pale, and Ron looked sickly. "Your cheek..." Ron muttered. Reaching up i felt my cheek and when i looked again it was covered in bright, red blood. My head began to spin as the smell and just the look of the blood reached me. "Ginny Ginny your going to be ok!" Harry said quickly. Cradling me in his arms, he allowed Hermione to heal my cheek and clean me up, ridding me of the stench and feel of blood.

"Ok ok but what now? Harry, James might have made the connection between the scar on your head on the stag and when your human! And what were you two playing at? You could have gotten yourself killed!" Harry looked sheepish. I rounded on Ron. "You KNEW he wasn't in his right mind! So why were you fighting him, we could have just RAN!" Ron regardedly me cooly. "I was trying to keep him from shredding you face anymore then it already was." Reaching up again, I felt the smooth, thin scar running down my cheek. Hermione saw my action and intervened quickly. "We should head back up to the castle. All three of us rounded on her.

"Oh come on-"

"We just need to stay away-"

"We haven't got to go out in FOREVER-"

"Alright alright ALRIGHT!" Looking slightly alarmed, Hermione quickly shushed us. "Come on, but we have to stay away from Remus."

o.O.o

A small mouse watched the forms of an otter, Stag, dog, and horse run off across the grounds. Squeaking, he hurriedly scrambled off in the direction that the werewolf had run. He wondered what they would think of this.

o.O.o

"Your absolutely positive you heard this?" Gracie hissed, clenching her fists. The four of them sat inside one of the lower rooms in the shrieking shack once Remus had fallen back asleep. "I-I-I KNOW I heard it." Peter stuttered. "She called him Harry James Potter and they were the animaguses." James looked extremely worried. "Who are they then?" He whispered. "Who are they and where did they come from?" Sirius rubbed his hands together briskly. "Well there's one thing we can use to find out. James you can nick almost anything from your old man right?" James nodded slowly. "Gracie can help me get almost anything."

"Can you manage to get Veritaserum from him?" Gracie's eyes widened in horror. "NO Sirius. No no no that's ILLEGAL!" Sirius shrugged nolanchly. "So? It's worth it if we find out what they're doing!" James nodded slightly. "I suppose your right. I kinda doubt they would willingly tell us. Ok so me and Sirius are in, what about you Pete?" the mousy boy shrugged. "I guess." He then turned to his sister. "Come on sis. PLEASE we NEED you." Gracie looked skeptical. "James I'm usually game for anything you guys want to do, but this, this is ILLEGAL." Sirius jumped in. "That didn't stop you before when we became animagises."

"But Sirius that was DIFFERENT" she pleaded. "How exactly?" Mouth open in a helpless look, she glanced around wildly to each of the boys. "Fine" she muttered. "I'm game. But we better not get caught." Catching her in a hug, Sirius grinned widely. "I knew you would"

o.O.o

The next day, questions followed Ginny everywhere. The thin scar that ran from the edge of her eye to the bottom of her cheek aroused plenty of questions.

"Are you alright?"

"What happened?"

"Did you fall?"

"Did your cat scratch you?"

"Couldn't Madam Pomfery heal it?"

Answering the questions in the blink of an eye with quick simple lies did the trick. The crowd eventually dispatched, but it left the Marauders disgruntled. If she could lie so easily about something like that, who's to say she wouldn't lie about anything else?

"OK Lily, your coming home with me over the summer." Gracie confirmed. "G I ca-" the raven-haired girl reached over and gripped her hand. "Lily please, I dont want you to stay here alone." The pleading eyes Gracie gave the red-head won her over, because she collapsed into her arms and nodded wearily. "Alright" she whispered. "You win" Dorcas announced she was going to America for the holidays, and Peter made an angry noise as he opened his letter and announced he was going to Canada. Exchanging an annoyed glace with the rest of his friends, he sighed. "I wish I didn't have to go." he muttered. "But mum said no arguments."

"I think we're staying here over the holidays." Harry said casually, picking at a bit of toast. "All of you?" Gracie asked slyly. "Well we don't really have anywhere else to go do we?" He spat out bitterly. Seeing the alarmed looks from his friends, he immediantly attempted to back-track. "Well what I meant was none of our parents are free over the holidays so we figured we would stay here." Gracie didn't miss the small glance and nod from Hermione, only to be followed by an eye-roll. Ron whispered something to Ginny, sending her into a fit of giggles when she saw Molly and Aurther enter the hall. Gracie frowned. What was that about?

She was distracted however, when a very tired looking Remus slid in next to Sirius. "I have such a strange memory from last night." he whispered. "Why do I remember attacking a horse?" Sirius nodded towards Ginny and the scar running down her cheek. His quick intake of breath drew several strange looks. "They're animaguses?" he mouthed silently. "We'll talk later" James whispered. "After class"

o.O.o.O.o.O.o

"They know." Hermione snapped as they sat in they're usual spots in the back of the potions classroom. "I could hear them talking, they really need to work on their whispering skills." Ron paled. "What do we do then?" he asked horsely. "Avoid them?" Harry shook his head. "We can't do that it would seem too suspicious. But what can we do?" Hermione sighed heavily. "It's obvious isn't it?" She was met with blank stares. "We have to avoid drinking anything they give us. Or eating anything they give us. I wouldn't put it past them to put Veritaserum in something to MAKE us say stuff." Ginny scoffed. "That's illegal isn't it?"

"That never stopped them before" Hermione stated grimly. "They became animaguses remember? That's illegal right?" Ginny nodded slowly. "Ok ok you win... But something as big as that?"

"Becoming an animagus is pretty big" Harry pointed out. "We won't be able to hid it from them forever though, they're pretty smart, so what should we do? Tell them now or tell them later? Does it really make a difference?" Ron said quietly. "But would they believe us now?" Ginny cut in.

"Are you four working?" Slughorn stopped at their caldrons and they immediently buisied themselves adding ingrediants. "Yes Professor." Ginny respoded sweetly. Her look turned deadly as Slughorn toddled away. "We'll talk later."

o.O.o.O.o.O.o

"So what exactly did they say?" Remus asked, leaning against the tree. "Ginny called Harry, Harry James Potter which is strange, plus they are all animaguses."

"But aren't you and James the-"

"Only heirs yeah thats seems about right." Gracie finished. "We can either outright ask them or give them the potion."

"I vote for the potion, just cause it SOUNDS cooler." Sirius grinned. "I'm all for it" James cried. "Me too!" Gracie said. They all turned towards Remus. "So Moony, you in for it?" looking to each of his friends eager faces, he sighed. "I suppose."
