Hello everyone. I am so relieved exams are over, and I'm pretty happy with my maths score :) anyway, here's the next chapter. I hope you enjoy it.

Sirius, James, Remus and Peter and Harry came down to Breakfast a bit later. Harry was noticeably looking much brighter and happier. James, on the other hand, was worn out completely. His hand continued ache whenever he moved it slightly. He was tuning out to what his friends were saying, and fell asleep on the table during breakfast, only to be jolted awake by someone.
"James!" Someone hissed in his ear. He awoke groggily, expecting to see a look of amusement on Sirius' face. Instead, he saw and extremely drowsy looking Lily.
Her hair had been tied clumsily, her cheeks were pale, and she had bags under her eyes.
"You look terrible" James said before he could stop himself. She scowled at him.
"Thanks, James" She snapped.
"No problem" He replied with a grin.
"Prongs, mate," Sirius said from the other side of James. "Your jokes have stopped being funny. What she do to you?"
"Write lines -"
"Nothing we haven't seen before, but I can see how that would be tormenting for you, lily -"
"Let me finish, Sirius!" Lily snapped rudely, glaring at him. He recoiled under her icy glare.
"She made us write them in our own blood" James finished. Sirius gave him an ironically serious look.
"You can't be serious?" He asked.
"No, that's you" James replied, chuckling to himself. Sirius rolled his eyes.
"Your jokes have lost your touch. That last one was nowhere near marauder standards, prongs"
"You shouldn't use those names" Albus told them from the other side of the table, leaning over to help himself to some pumpkin juice. "They're meant to be a secret, and if you start using them in front of da- Harry, he'll get suspicious."
"Whatever, James' grandson" Sirius said.
"Don't call him that, it makes me feel old" James complained. "Anyway, I don't see anyone else's descendants around" he snapped.
"Keep your voices down" Lily hissed. She turned to Albus. "I am extremely sorry you have to live with these two in the future" She added in an undertone. Albus just smiled.
Charms and transfiguration hadn't changed much since they were at Hogwarts, the marauders noted. When the day had ended, Everyone (except Akyra who had been dragged reluctantly to the library with Hermione) had retreated to the common room, to exhausted to do anything. James (giving in to Remus' nagging) had decided to attempt to complete his homework, and had fallen asleep out of exhaustion, his snores echoing through the common room. Albus and Lily L were sniggering, being forcefully reminded of their brother. Sirius would have normally insisted on an overly complicated and amusing plan on awakening James, but due to the circumstances, he decided against it. Instead, he was intently listening (as he never had in any lesson) to Ron and Harry telling them about an item Sirius had found lying on the floor.
"Akyra's pranking sheet" He told them. Lily frowned, disapprovingly, and concentrated on her charms essay.
"She takes a very - technical and scientific approach to pranking" Harry explained, grinning. "She's got every prank she's ever played at Hogwarts on that sheet - all planned out through the different stages."
"I reckon it's mental" Ron said.
"I reckon it's brilliant" Said Fred and George, who had just entered the common room. "But then again, you wouldn't know brilliance if it hit you in the head, like this" He threw his book across the room at him with accuracy, and it hit his forehead and bounced off.
"What was that for?" Ron demanded, rubbing his sore forehead, scowling as Harry, Sirius, and James S cracked up laughing.
Fred opened his mouth to list all the reasons why Ron deserved a book thrown at him, when loud voices could be heard approaching the common room.
"Akirianna Larisse, you better have an explanation!" a hiss came from behind the portrait door. James awoke with a start, the shock causing him to fall odd his chair. They turned, and saw Akyra striding into the common room, a mischevous grin on her face.
"Akirianna?" James asked groggily, rubbing his eyes.
"Larisse?" Remus whispered to himself, a thought just dawning on him. He marvelled at his own stupidity. Why hadn't he notices it sooner?
"Better than my first name?" Akyra answered dismissively, shrugging
"It's your - " but Peter was cut off by Hermione's resumed lecture.
"That was not funny!" She yelled.
"Not funny?" Akyra shot back, looking genuinely shocked. "Flashing rainbow troll hair, Hermione! How is that not funny?"
"I can list a few reasons why" Harry replied bitterly. "Last time you used that stuff, I almost got expelled.
"Harry don't be so dramatic," She replied, sounding impatient. "It was hilarious. Okay, I admit, the timing might have been a bit off, but you wouldn't have gotten - don't look at me like that" Harry had assumed an expression of utter disbelief.
"A bit off? Snape sprouted rainbow troll hair while he had just discovered the Hogsmeade thing, was going out of his way to prove I had been breaking the rules, and on the verge of discovering the marauders map."
Akyra shook her head with frustration. "You've gotten the facts all wrong, Harry" She told him, as if she was a primary school teacher explaining something to her slowest student. "It was flashing rainbow troll hair."
Everyone except Harry, Akyra and Hermione snorted with laughter.
"Whatever it was, it still nearly got me expelled"
"Snape wouldn't have gone -"
"That's beside the point!" Hermione screamed, cutting over everyone. "Akyra thought it would be funny is Professor Umbridge sprouted Rainbow troll hair!"
"Flashing rainbow troll hair, Hermione!" Akyra insisted.
"That's not the point! She's going to trace it back to you!" Hermione snapped.
"How dare you?" Akyra said mockingly and dramatically. "It's an insult to my pranking skills. Of course I covered my tracks"
Hermione scowled, still looking disbelieving. "Are you sure? You know you did a thorough enough job?" She asked Akyra.
"Positive" Akyra confirmed brightly, slumping herself down next to Lily L, taking her pranking sheet and making a quick note.
Hermione's lips twisted into a fleeting grin, before she took a seat next to Lily, and complementing her on the depth in which she had written her essay.
Hermione and Lily continued to converse about homework, while Fred, George, Sirius and James S were all helping Akyra and adding things to her chart. Harry and Ron and were once agan trying (and failing) to complete their potions essay. James had once more fallen asleep on top of his large pile of books. Albus and Lily muttered something about going to the library before leaving the common room, while Remus was staring into the fire, deep in thought.
One by one, everyone ascended to their common rooms until there was only James snoring onwards, Remus lost in his thought, Sirius drawing up a rough prank draft (an idea he hoped to remember in the morning) and Peter, scowling confusedly at his homework.
"Did you realize," Remus said, causing Peter and Sirius to look up from what they were doing, and James to jerk awake.
"Her last name?" Remus finished.
"Hmm?" James asked drowsily.
"Her last name's Larisse. Ring a bell?" Remus asked. Sirius, James and Peter all stared at him. There was a long pause.
"Why'd that ring a bell?" Peter asked, confused.
"No way" Sirius whispered. "You don't mean to say she's related to Stephan Larisse?"
Peter's eyes widened with understanding.
Stephan Larisse was a Gryffindor student two years above them. He was extremely confident, funny, and yet friendly. He had the uncanny ability to lighten anyone's mood, traits which he shared with Akyra Larisse. He was also a close friend of all the marauders.
"It's highly likely" Remus commented thoughtfully.
"They are a lot alike, actually. They have the same personality" Sirius commented. James yawned loudly.
"It wouldn't surprise me. What day is it, by the way?" He added.
"27th of May. Wait..." Remus said, realisation dawning on him. "Tomorrow's the full moon" He whispered, the fear evident on his face.
"We'll do what we always do - the shrieking shack" Sirius said confidently.
"That may not work in this time." Remus buried his face in his hands. "We don't know who knows the shrieking shack's not haunted. Harry might know. What if someone comes to look?" Remus asked worriedly.
"We'll write to Dumbledore tomorrow" James assured. "Don't worry about it, Moony. A change in year shouldn't stop us!" He gave Remus a supportive smile, which Remus returned weakly.
"Okay... But what if -"
"We'll worry about it in the morning" Sirius told him, and they all headed up to their rooms together.

Please review and tell me what you think! The next chapter should come up a lot quicker, as It will be fairly short - and will include Voldemort!
Thanks for reading :)
