Dora and Remus sat there opposite Albus in his office listening to the prophecy once again.

"Well it's obvious the four brothers in everything but blood is the marauders" Dora said "the wolf is Remus, the stag is James, the dog is Sirius and the rat is Peter"

There was a faint twinkle in Dumbledore's eyes. "How did you work that one Nymphadora?"

"Well Remus is a werewolf, and the others were animagus's." Dora said "something we should have told you a long time don't cha think Remus?"

Remus rubbed his ear "err…yeah….sure….anything you say dear" he mumbled sinking into his seat.

Dumbledore chuckled lightly "ah, you two remind me of Arthur and Molly, James and Lily, me and Minerva…"

Both Dora and Remus looked vaguely ill.

"Not that me and Minerva have ever done such a thing! Our relationship is purely platonic and…..and…..and WOULD YOU LIKE A LEMON DROP?" Dumbledore boomed.

Dora and Remus chuckled and accepted the lemon drop.

"Now I'm certain this prophecy is not the first Luna has made, can you think of any other time?"

"Luna knew that I was pregnant with Selene and that Selene was a she" Dora said smiling "she insists that we're going to get a dog then an owl and a cat."

"But we're not getting any pets till they go to Hogwarts" Remus said firmly "Harry wants an owl and Mione wants a cat. So we said for their going away present they can, but that's going to be years"

"Back to the prophecy, I think this means Sirius is innocent" Dora said softly "Peter is out there and he betrayed us"

Remus swallowed "it hurts to much to believe that sweet little Peter did all that damage but it's the only conclusion I can come up with"

"What did it mean by the last line do you think?" Dumbledore said his eyes twinkling brightly

"The fawn is Harry, the puppy is Hermione and Luna is the cub, they are like their fathers, they'll get into a lot of trouble when they go to Hogwarts" Dora said quickly grinning

"Maybe, but I would like to keep an eye on young Luna, who knows what she'll predict, maybe she'll help me win on the yearly bet on who will make what house. I never get to win that firewhiskey"

Remus and Dora burst out laughing until they realised he was telling the truth.

They were labelled the weird ones, the ones you shouldn't go near. They didn't care really after all they had each other. It was the end of term in st. Ottercrey's primary school, and the students were nervously edging past the small gang off a fifth three third years, four first years and two receptions.

The girls couldn't deny that Cedric Diggory was cute. The students couldn't deny that the Weasley twins were funny, or that Ron Weasley was brilliant at chess, Hermione black was the smartest girl, Luna and Ginny were the most adorable girls, or Harry was the most loyal and Neville the most clumsy. But there was an aura of weirdness around them. The Weasley's live in a strange place called the burrow, Luna, Harry and Hermione lived in the Moonlight Manor that was rumoured to be haunted, Cedric lived in a Manor labelled Badgers hole and Neville lived in a large house called the Banana House.

They were strange and the students kept away from them.

"Summer is here!" Ron said happily "no more school or homework or annoying kids staring at us"

"Honestly Ronald school isn't that bad" Hermione said from behind her book.

"Whatever" Ron said "you are still coming to the burrow for the party aren't you?"

"Of course" Luna said softly staring at the sky

"Mmm…" Harry said distractedly reading a piece of paper

"What have you got there Harry?" Neville asked

"Just a letter from a pen pal" Harry mumbled

"Our friend Justin, we met a couple of years ago." Hermione said

Harry looked back at the letter. It was short, but then again at the age of six heading on to seven you don't write much.

Dear Harry and Mione

Thanks for the letter! School is alright, I got a good friend called Terry Boot he's very friendly. I don't like our school uniform it's rather stuffy. Mum and Dad are taking me on cruise, it sounds rather boring.

Moonlight Manor sounds wonderful I wished I could spend the summer there instead. Send more pictures of Selene she's adorable and I wouldn't say no to more of Mrs Weasley's fudge either.

Write back soon

Justin

"Ron do you think your mum will make some more fudge? Justin loves it" Harry said

"Knowing mum she'll make a life's time supply for your mate" George said

The kitchen in the burrow was busy. Molly was cooking while Dora tried to help. Remus was feeding Selene, the Diggorys and Lovegoods were having a conversation with Arthur about muggles and the twins were running about with Percy chasing after them.

"GIVE HIM BACK!" Percy shouted his face turning purple with rage "HE'S MY RAT! MUUUUUUUUUUUM!"

"Fred, George give me scabbers" Molly said sternly

"The twins pouted before they handed her a grey fat rat with a worm like tail and a missing toe. Remus froze. He grabbed his wand and stunned him

"REMUS!" Molly scolded him.

But he ignored her; he waved his wand murmuring incantations and suddenly instead of a rat laid a small chubby man.

"Hello Peter" Remus said softly a tear spilling down his cheek.
