Four Months in The Past

Draco sighed and read the textbook that was in front of him, he was reading something for his Charm's essay but he felt that he didn't want to do it.

Why? Because he was worried. Worried about what the Marauders were going to do to Hermione, Harry and him. To them it was well known that now James was starting to dislike them, they weren't sure how Sirius and Remus felt, but they knew that whatever James Peter will have followed.

Draco looked up and saw Hermione sitting on one of the couches across the Gryffindor Common Room, her hair was pulled back into a bun and she had a big paper pad with her and a pencil. He saw that whatever Hermione was doing, it seemed like she was drawing something. Draco was about to walk to Hermione and see what she was drawing when Lily came running in.

"Athena! There you are!" Hermione was so deeply involved with what she was doing that she hadn't heard Lily.

Lily saw this, so she walked towards the girl until she was behind her.

"Athena, what are you doing? Dumbledore wants to see- WHOA!" shouted Lily staring at the picture Hermione was drawing. Hermione had heard Lily and turned around, with a curl falling to her face, for some reason Draco didn't know why but he had wanted to put that curl behind her ear and kiss her.

"Yes Lily? What did Dumbledore want?" Lily tore her eyes away from the picture and looked at Hermione with her mouth open. Hermione decided to tease her.

"Lily, you know if Potter saw you with your mouth open, I'm very sure that he wouldn't hesitate to take advantage and thrust his tongue down your throat," she grinned at Lily.

Lily snapped her jaw closed and glared at Hermione, "You are so disgusting Gardner!" Hermione didn't take any notice of this because she was very sure that Lily was blushing, so Hermione smiled, stood up and linked her arm with Lily.

"Come now Lily, like you said Dumbledore is waiting for us," Lily nodded her head and both girls left the Common Room leaving Hermione's pad of paper behind.

Draco was about to get up and look through Hermione's things when Hermione herself entered the room.

"Hey Drake! I almost forget, Harry wants you to meet with him at the Quidditch Pitch, the Marauders are going to be there also," said Hermione packing away the pad of paper into her bag.

Draco also packed his things away and was silently cursing to himself. He followed Hermione out the door and saw Lily there waiting for her. The three Gryffindors walked together until Draco bid goodbye to the girls

Harry was at the Quidditch Pitch waiting for Draco, he had told Hermione ages ago that he wanted to meet with Draco and knew that she hadn't told him yet.

So he was stuck with the Marauders, he didn't usually mind hanging around the Marauders but ever since yesterday Harry didn't feel comfortable around them no more, especially when his father James was glaring at him, while Sirius and Remus didn't know what to do.

Harry looked down to avoid James's glare and shuffled his left foot around on the grass, he felt uncomfortable, fortunately for Harry Draco arrived running towards them.

Draco put his hand on Harry's shoulder and smirked at him while he sneered at everyone else.

"Sorry about that Harry," said Drake. Harry scowled at him.

"Shut up Mallard! Why were you late anyways?" Draco just sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"Well...hmm...let's just say Athena was having a girl talk with Lily," Harry nodded and faced the Marauders.

"Okay, now what do you want?" James glare hardened if that was possible as it was already full of anger.

"Look here Patterson! Why don't you just quit it and tell us what is going on?" said James, and pointing his finger into Harry's chest. Harry got angry at this.

"Shut up, Potter! I won't tell you what is going on because it is Drake's, Athena's and my secret, and don't try to fool me with the friends should be honest with each other crap! Because I know that you and your friends have secrets of their own, so why don't you just shut up!" these made James anger more so grabbed for Harry's shirt collar.

"I don't think I will Patterson! Because you see us Marauders were the ones to welcome you to Hogwarts and we were the ones to let you guys join our little group, so I'd suggest you tell us who really are or were going to the Headmaster!"

Harry was just about to retort to that when a loud shriek reached them.

"HARRY! JAMES! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Harry looked up and saw Lily and Athena running towards them. It looked like it had been Lily who had shouted.

Peter who had suddenly decided to hex Harry tried to shout out the Bogey Bat hex when he accidentally shouted out "Serpensortia". A big black python writhed out Peter's wand and Lily had shrieked when she saw the black snake.

James quickly let go of Harry and was trying to think up of a curse when Peter had knocked into him, making James drop his wand. Sirius also took out his wand and said a spell to the snake.

Unfortunately the snake had dodged the spell and to the horror of the boys the snake was heading for the direction of Athena. Lily had quickly run not to long ago to search for a teacher, Remus with her.

Harry didn't know what to do, he couldn't just open his mouth and saw a spell because he knew for sure that if he did he would saw something in Parseltongue, but he saw the scared look on Athena's face that he opened his mouth.

But a very dark blue jet of light shot out of nowhere and hit the snake, making the snake disappear. Harry looked around to see who it was and saw that Athena had been the one to cause the snake to disappear and seeing the look on her face, he knew that she had snapped out of her trance when she had seen Harry open his mouth.

Harry grinned at her to show his thanks and Athena weakly smiled at him. Drake stepped in front of Athena and helped her up. He didn't notice the white and pale faces of the other three boys.

Drake walking with Athena walked over to Harry and whispered in a low voice so that nobody could hear.

"You let out a hiss,"

(Aves: Ohhhhhh! The temptation to leave it just there but it will be way too short!)

James, Sirius, Peter, Remus, Athena, Lily, Drake and Harry all found themselves in Dumbledore's office. The Marauders sat at one side of the room and everyone else sat on the other side. James and Sirius were giving Harry looks of hatred, who was pointedly ignoring them.

Dumbledore stared at the teenagers in his office and sighed.

"It has come to my attention that the eight of you had witnessed something on Hogwart grounds." James then decided to interrupt.

"Patterson is a bloody Parselmouth! How could you let a Death Eater into Hogwarts!?" Dumbledore frowned at James.

"I assure you Mr Potter that Mr Patterson is not a Death Eater, and I already knew that he was a Parselmouth," Harry stared at the Headmaster, he couldn't believe what he was hearing because he was very sure that he had never mentioned to Dumbledore that he could speak to snakes.

"How do you know that Patterson and his friends aren't Death Eaters!? After all they did come from Durmstrang, which is known for their practice of the Dark Arts,"

"I know this because their Headmaster had thought it wise to write me a letter," at this Harry turned to look at Draco and Hermione who were ignoring him.

Soon after Dumbledore lectured the Marauders of what they had done and that they should be sorry for themselves, but only Remus was the one to actually look ashamed and had the grace to blush, for what he and his friends had done while the rest just nodded their head and said "Sorry sir," During all this Athena had taken out her pad of paper and was busily doing something, with Lily hovering over her shoulder watching what she was doing with awe. While Harry and Draco played a little game with themselves.

"I think that we all better start heading to the Great Hall as we have dinner soon to eat." Dumbledore stood up and the eight teens stood up, the Headmaster was about to head out the door when he turned around and faced the Marauders.

"It would be wise to seal your argument before something bad comes out of this," and with a swish of his purple cloak Albus Dumbledore walked down the stairs.

The Marauders, Harry and Drake faced each other not really looking at each other in the eye and mumbled out apologises. Athena rolled her eyes and walked up in front of the Marauders.

Sirius blushed when Athena stood in front of them and looked down, Remus saw this and sniggered silently, and Peter trying to be brave scowled and asked really harshly.

"What do you want bit-...?" Remus had clapped a hand over Peter's mouth and a look in his eyes told everyone that he was angry; Harry wanted to kill the little rat but decided against it, so instead he clenched his fist by his side where no one could see it. Even Sirius growled a little.

Athena looked down at the shorter boy and looked at him squarely in the eye,

"You know if you weren't friends with Remus I would have cursed you right on the spot, but since I do not wish to be given a detention or hexed by James I'll just ignore what you were about to say" Athena then looked away from the cowering boy and faced James.

"Potter? James? Whatever suits you best," James just shrugged.

"James, would be fine," Athena nodded,

"I shall tell you now, I don't lie and trust me when I lie you would know. But hear this, my friends and I were not and have never been Death Eaters," Athena spat at the word Death Eaters, "so trust me when I say that this is the truth and neither of us would so willingly serve Lord Voldemort. But I will not lie that Harry is a parselmouth and definitely doesn't serve the Dark Lord, so do not scowl at him or make his life a living hell because you believe him to be dark," she turned her gaze away from James and looked at Remus, "I believe you'll understand by what I mean Remus,"

Remus looked shocked and held Athena's gaze, Athena then turned her head back to James.

"If I learn, hear or witness that you have been so unforgiving to Harry trust me you would wish you never knew my name," Athena stepped back away from James and smiled at the boys, "I think my work here is done," Lily walked over to Athena and the two girls walked away.

Before the girls turned at the corner, Athena turned around and grinned at them all, "You'll be glad to hear this but I shall be victorious on the little Prank War we have Potter and I promise you my next prank will be the best!" All the boys grinned at this news very happy with it. James grinned and replied back,

"I'm very sure Gardner, and let me tell you now I have been known as the king of pranks along with Sirius and shall and will always be the King of Pranks so try your best," Both girls grinned at this, Athena winked and answered.

"Bring it on, Potter!" and with that the two girls left.

The six boys could hear the girls laugh and heard Lily saw "I can't believe you actually did that! You stood up to the Marauders to protect your friends, James Potter no less!"

James stood up straight and directly faced Harry,

"You've got a very loyal and protective friend there, Har-Patterson," Harry just nodded his head still not over the shock of what just happened.

"Y-yeah, she is very loyal and a good friend to have, to have Athena as friend is the best thing that could happen to a person," Harry beckoned Draco to come over and he pointed at the blonde. "Even Drake here will admit that she is a good friend."

Drake nodded his head, "She truly is and plus I should know, she saw my true self and forgave me for what I had done to her and in return I vowed to become her friend and protect her from any harm," The two boys weren't sure what else to do and didn't know if the Marauders were still going to be their friends or shun them away, so they left for the Great Hall.

When the two boys were out of earshot the Marauders looked at James, James too looked at his three friends.

"Well what do we do from here?"
