A/N: Hi everyone ^^

I'm really, really sorry for this long pause between updates. But first I have my computer attacked by virus and every document was lost, than I had an exams. I hope that you will forgive me, really. You even don't have idea how much sorry I am. I will try to update the story faster, but I'm not sure how quickly I will be able to do that.

Thanks everyone for the reviews on my last chapter, I really love you guys 3:

DaRoHa: Well, Harry is in his fifth year, I don't think that he would be able to kill someone. I mean, magicaly he is strong enough, it's not going under debate, but what I mean is that his character just don't suit me to make him kill someone who isn't Voldemort, even if they are Death Eaters. I don't know maybe I'm just too soft :D However, I'm not sure yet what would exactly happen in future chaps, so maybe I will make him kill some of the Death Eaters. But I'm not sure yet :D

And yet, one more note. I know, I'm boring, but deal with it, please :D

This chapter may not be very good, and I'm sorry because if this. In the future I may replace it, but if I will do it, I will give you a word. But even if I do it, it wouldn't change the plot of the story at all. I will also try to write next chap longer than this one. I just little fell off from the routine of the writing, if you know what I mean. But I will take a grip I promise! ^^"

So now, after this so boring beggining, enjoy your reading and leave me a review, pretty pretty please, it will really help me with writing, the other authors surely know how it is :D

Cheers,

Sight of better future

*HPHG*

Harry was watching the sky horrified. There were around twenty Dementors flying through it, their dark figures very well visible on the background of white clouds. True, he had defeat more of them already in his third year, but it doesn't mean that he felt good in their presence. No, he felt terrible. He hated this feeling of coldness and sadness, which was filing his soul at every time when he met Dementors. He felt someone grabbing his hand and tore his eyes from the sky, turning them on left. He looked on Hermione who squeezed his hand and nodded. Harry knew that she would help him whatever was going to happened. He was really glad that they had practiced Patronus Charm at their last DA meeting. It was going to be in hand right now. He looked on the rest of their group. Marauders and Cassie were looking on the sky also, unreadable feeling on their faces. Harry didn't know if they knew how to fight Dementors or not. Cassie felt somebody's eyes on her and turned to him.

"You know Patronus Charm?" she asked, looking on him and Hermione. They both nodded. "Good, it will be easier that way." She smiled on them and took her wand out. Using wandless magic was little tiring after all.

Harry looked around on the people lying on the ground and this one running around. When they spotted dementors on the sky flying in their directions, the panic roused even more. He turned his attention back into the sky when he felt that the air was being colder and almost jump in surprise when he saw black coated figure standing in front of him. Suddenly all sad memories came back to him. His mother scream… Cedric's death… Hermione lying petrified in Hospital Wing… No! He took big breathe and concentrated on happy memories, especially the one from this day, when he was alone with Hermione. The little smile played on his lips. When the Dementors landed in front of the teens, six different voices rang:

"Expecto Patronum!"

An otter, tiger, two stags, wolf and dog, all made of silver material, marched in the direction of the Dementors. Harry was watching as two stags with tiger between them run in front line. The sight if it was unforgettable. The three animals started pulsing with silver energy, as if the energy within them were overwhelming them. He had never seen anything like that before, it was just like the three Patronus were connecting with each other, summing their powers together. When the Patronus hit into the group of Dementors, the effect was if like the bomb exploded in the middle of it, destroying almost every coated creature. Harry tightened his grip on the wand when he saw that few of the Dementors were able to survived, thanks to the fact that they had already moved to caught their victims. But they were quickly attacked by wolf, dog and otter.

"That was… unexpected." James said, amusement presented in his voice.

"Cassie, did your Patronus change his form?" Remus asked suddenly, sounding curious and, if Harry was correct, slightly suspicious. When Sirius and James looked on him he added. "I mean, I know that Prongs has a stag as Patronus, so when I saw a second one I thought that it belongs to Cassie, after all it isn't strange for twins to share the same form of Patronus."

Cassie turned to her friend with surprised look and furrowed her brows.

"No, I still have my good ol' tiger." She answered thinking about something.

Harry caught her glancing on him. From her spot next to Hermione she had been able to see that the bushy haired girl had an otter as a Patronus, so it was simply logical that the stag belonged to Harry. Cassie's blue eyes narrowed slightly on him. No, she didn't has any evidences against him, but the Patronus… she had to take a trip to library later to read something about it forms and who can share the form. Except twins of course. That was already covered. Or maybe she just could talk Remus into it, she hated sitting in the library. Remus on the other hand loved it. So everyone would be happy.

"So it looks like this two here aren't similar only by looks." Sirius cut in, putting his arms on James' and Harry's shoulders, pulling them to each other so they hit their heads. "Oops, that was accident."

But before either Harry or James could do something else except massaging their heads, the new voice rang from behind them, frizzing the whole group in their spots.

"You gave pretty good show there, children." Mr. Black said, standing in the lead of Death Eater's group. "But now the party is over."

"What do you want?" Sirius asked coldly, unconsciously moving in front of Cassie, who was facing his father.

Black senior looked coldly in the face of his oldest son, in spite of himself admiring slightly his courageous. If only he was smart enough to join the right side. Which of course was Voldemort's side in the mind of older Black.

"Give as the Potter girl and we might consider letting you go without… much harm."

Sirius could see his father lips forming cruel smirk and his blood boiled. He knew very well what 'much harm' means in his family's vocabulary. They were going to cast 'Cruciatus' as long as the person would go unconscious or… die.

"Over my dead body!" James shouted, moving closer to his sister. There was no way that he would let this Death Eater take Cassie away from him.

"That can be simply arranged, boy." Mr. Black answered to him, looking up and down on James, smirk still playing on his lips.

"Why you always have to have so cliché statements?" Cassie whispered to her brother's ear.

James looked on her ridiculously.

"They aren't cliché!"

"Yes, they are."

"No."

"Yes"

"No! Be quiet!"

"Yes and you know it!"

"Both of you shut up!" Remus snapped on both twins.

They were in the middle of fighting and they just decided to had one of their meaningless arguments. What the hell was wrong with them?

Sirius also heard twins' conversation from behind his back and fought with his smirk. Trust to Potters to try and do something funny even when they situation looked terrible.

"We won't let you take Cassie, father." Sirius stated, looking again in his father's eyes, grey just as his, but without the warm and friendly lights, which always made Sirius' eyes so interesting. "And if you want to stay alive, you should leave. Dumbledore is on his way."

To his surprise, Mr. Black laughed. But it wasn't friendly laugh, this one gave every person present on the street shiver.

"Dou you really think that we came here without previous preparation?" the older man looked on the group of students standing in front of him. "You precious Dumbledore even doesn't know what is going on here."

Marauders, Cassie, Harry and Hermione felt as their eyes widened on the news. They all the time had had a hope that Dumbledore would arrive shortly…

"Yes, children, you are all alone here." Other Death Eater said, walking to stand next to Black. "But we don't have all day to play, come with us." He directed his words to Cassie.

The girl glanced on him, making thoughtful expression and shaking her head.

"Nah, I think I will pass." She answered, sounding as if Death Eater just invite her for a walk through the park. "I'm quite comfortable here, really." She added, leaning slightly on her brother to emphasis her words. The rest of her group looked on her strangely and Sirius bit his lips to stop the smirk.

He knew that Cassie was playing. He once had encountered her about her behavior during the fights or arguments, because sometimes her ignorance were slightly missing the border with stupidity. She had confessed that when felt nervous or scared, she wasn't able to control her tongue and the words are just forming themselves. She couldn't fight with this. And she wasn't complaining, anyway. she preferred to give an enemy a piece of her mind instead of scared expression and stammering.

"I'm not joking, child!" the Death Eater said, gripping his wound. Sirius furrowed his brows. He knew that voice…

"Me neither. Jamie here is very comfortable person to leaning on, you know…" Cassie answered again, smiling politely. "And if we are already at the subject, would you ming telling me why you insists so much on taking me away?"

"Yeah, now I see where you are using this etiquette lessons which mom forced you to take…" James mumbled under his nose, earning a kick on the shin from his sister.

"Dark Lord needs something from you." Mr. Black answered shortly, without his patience. It was supposed to be short mission, kidnapping the student and run. Their Lord surprised everyone by suddenly changing the plans concerning Potter girl, but hadn't explained himself. Like always anyway. He was their leader, he didn't need to do any explanation.

Cassie faked gasping in surprise, giving the time to Sirius and James to exchange the looks.

"You want to tell me that the whole-mighty Voldemort need something from poor little me?" she said shocked.

Sirius could see as his father's lips were forming straight line when Cassie had used Voldemort's name.

"Don't you dare calling Dark Lord by his name, you filthy blood traitor!" one of the Death Eaters shouted angrily on her.

Cassie only shrugged, moving slightly away from James without other persons noticing anything suspicious. Remus poked Harry's slightly on the ribs and when the boy looked on him, he pointed with his eyes on his wand. Message was clear: wait for the sign. Harry nodded and exchanged glances with Hermione.

"Well, it looks like I'm not that filthy if your so called master needs my help." Cassie replied and decided to finish it when she could. "I would even say that he need me to clean his filth."

With that she quickly raised the shield in front of her when four Crucio flight in her direction and jumped away. In the same time, James and Sirius stunned two Death Eaters, while Harry, Hermione and Remus cast full body bind on three next.

"Look out for the girl!" Mr. Black screamed, but for nothing. Everyone were already fighting, he wasn't even sure if anyone heard him. He looked around in search of a brunette, but instead met a steady glare of grey eyes.

"I wasn't able to learn you a lesson in home because you run away to Potters as a coward. But now it will change." He said to Sirius, who was standing in front of him not showing any fear.

"You will be surprise." Sirius replied, holding his wand steady and jumped away when his father casted Crucio on him.

Harry and Hermione were fighting side to side. Few Death Eaters circled around them with cruel smiles on their faces. Harry knew that they considered them as students, who don't have an idea how to fight. But they didn't have the slightest idea with who they were fighting. With quick 'Expulso' Hermione threw most of them away while Harry cast body bind on the remaining once.

James and Remus were also holding themselves somehow. Last summer Mr. Potter learned Marauders few spells useful in battle, so they weren't on lost position.

But fighting with well trained Death Eaters wasn't something easy, as Harry decided, glancing around on others. Sirius had bleeding lip from his father and were painting slightly after one 'Cruciatus' which hit him. James had a bruise under his eye from one of the spell, just like Remus. Harry himself and Hermione were in pretty good state, since none of the spells hit them directly. Cassie was… Harry took a second glance around. Where was Cassie?

"Hermione!" he shouted, ducking just in time to miss 'Crucio' flying over his head, not really thinking where it would hit. "Where is Cassie?"

Hermione, who just stunned one of their opponents looked around. Her eyes widened when she didn't spotted her new friends. She opened her mouth to answer Harry, but was stopped by sudden scream of pain coming from somewhere behind Harry.

The black haired boy paled. He had a suspicion that he knew where the 'Crucio' landed after all… and he wasn't glad with this knowledge. He turned just in time to see Cassie lying on the ground with pained expression and one of the Death Eater raising their wand with pleased expression.

"Expelliarmus!" he shouted without much thinking.

When the Death Eater was thrown away from Cassie, he raised his wound and casted full body bind on him. It was then when he realized something. He hadn't used his wand when he protected Cassie… he felt slightly dizzy. How the hell he was able to do wandless magic when he had never learned this before? Then he remembered that James and Cassie both did it before in Three Broomsticks. Maybe it was some kind of family things? When the stunner missed him by a hair, he decided to think about it later.

Suddenly, the series of loud 'pops' were heard through the village. The Marauders froze, together with their friends. That couldn't be more Death Eaters… right?

"James!"

The boy in question quickly turned around to look on the person who called him. The tall men in his thirties run in their direction, black hairs sticking on every direction, just like his son's. And grandson, but no one knew about that little fact except Harry himself and Hermione.

"Dad!" James shouted with relief.

Together with Henry Potter, the Aurors and the Order of Phoenix, arrived on the stage.

*HPHG*

Henry Potter looked on the students, two of whom he was calling son and daughter. The Death Eaters had apparated away as soon as they had spotted the newcomers, so there wasn't much work to do for Aurors. They collected the fallen opponents and take them away to the Ministry, where they were going to be judged and sent to Azkaban, highly possibly.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, looking on very pale Cassie, who was supported by Sirius while James was being checked by the healer who had arrived with Aurors.

"I'm fine, dad, really." She smiled slightly. "I wasn't under the curse for that long, it was shorter than first time, when…" she trailed off quietly when she realized what she said. Henry's eyes widened and his cheeks turned slightly red. Oh boy…

"First time when what, Cassandra?" he asked calmly. Well, at least he hoped so.

"When I was under Cruciatus?" Cassie muttered under her breath, hiding slightly behind Sirius.

"You… were… when… WHY I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT?" Henry Potter looked on his daughter from his fair high around 6'2 feet. He turned to look on his son who only raised his hands in defeat.

"Don't look at me, she was the stubborn one here." He said and smiled sweetly when Cassie glared on him from her spot behind Sirius.

"Cassandra?" Henry turned again to his daughter who sighed defeated.

"Ok, I just knew that you and mom would freak out and I didn't want to worry you about that." she answered truthfully.

"Cassie, you know very well that you should tell about this to me and your mother immediately after it happened!" the head of Potter family stated, taking deep breath.

Cassie could see the upcoming lecture from her father and looked around for something what would safe her. James was out of question, since he was looking on her with smirk, Sirius and Remus the same, after all it was her father. Then her eyes settled on Harry and smirked blossomed on her lips. Harry narrowed his eyes on her but she only grabbed his shoulder and linked her arms with his smiling on her father.

"This is Harry. Your new son." She deadpanned and everyone went quiet, even the healer who was checking James.

Henry Potter blinked looking on the boy who his daughter just presented him. He looked almost exactly as James, only his eyes were different and he had some strange scare on his forehead. But other than that he felt as if he was looking on his son. And she had said 'your new son'. But wait… that means…

"Wait a moment… did you say new son?" Henry looked again on his daughter, taking on her smiling expression and linked arms.

"Yap." Cassie smiled wider, seeing that her father's attention was successfully turned somewhere else.

"When the hell did you get married?"

Cassie blinked few times looking on her father. She opened her mouth to say something but closed them again when she realized that she didn't know what to say. Sirius, Remus and James couldn't hold it anymore. They started to laugh, very hard, Sirius even bent over to hold his stomach. He just loved when Cassie's 'genius' ideas backfired on her. It was always hilarious, especially when she tried to prank her father. Last time when she tried it, Henry Potter had been deadly sure that his daughter was lesbian and that she was going to declare her love to some girl named Lily Evans and they were going to live happily ever after. In reality she had been just presenting their mother 'one day from life of James Potter in Hogwart', and Henry went in the middle of one of James' confession of love, showed by her. It had taken four hours to explain everything to Henry, since he had been all the time interrupting her with the words 'It's okay, sweety, I still love you, really'. James and Sirius had a great fun by watching it.

"Listen, I know that you are close with James and all, but I've never expected that you would choose a boy who looks exactly like him." Henry continued, still slightly off by the news. "I mean it looks like you are standing with your brother… Oh Merlin."

"Well Cassie, do you have something to tell us?" Hermione asked her, pretending to be serious, but Harry could clearly see the laugh in her eyes.

When the girl turned her blue eyes on her, she continued.

"You know, the fact that you choose the boy who looks exactly like James can mean that you are hiding something in your physic, the information that even you yourself don't want to accept." Hermione continued and when Cassie was still looking on her blankly, she continued. "You know, that you love your brother?"

Cassie blinked few times again and face palmed herself.

"I'm going to throw up…"

"That was horrible vision, Hermione!" James shouted, but couldn't stop his laugh on Cassie's face, that was just priceless.

"Cassie, you always know how to make people better." Remus laughed, looking on his friend.

Cassie mumbled something under her breath and did what she was often doing when she was fed up with someone. She simply went over to Sirius (before it was James, but seeing that he was now still busy with the healer she didn't have much choice) and pressed her forehead on his chest, while James explained to their father what Cassie really meant.
