I own nothing! I don't own Harry Potter or The Legend of Korra, or any of the characters in either one! I just own the Snape family members (except for Severus, of course), and the other OC's.
Okay, so as a recap, they're at Hogwarts now, and they're about to teach Snape and the Marauder's Class. I really don't like messing with the Marauders right now, so I'm just going to skip them for the most part and give a brief overview.
On with the show!
"General," Snape said hurrying forward to talk with him, saluting.
"At ease, soldier," Iroh said narrowing his eyes to analyze the child. "Status report."
"They're at the Gryffindor tower now, sir," he said, "and the leader is trying to win the heart of a girl who hates him, and his hair will always be a mess. The second is the one who has a brother in Slytherin, and the third shouldn't be in school, sir. The fourth is a spineless coward who, in my opinion, personifies a rat. Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, and Wormtail are their codenames, sir."
"Good work, soldier," Iroh nodded as a few others stepped in. "Take a seat."
"For the last time, the answer is no, Potter!" a redhead yelled angrily as she stormed in close to last. "It always will be no, and will forever remain no! I might change my mind if you come upon a heaping dung-load of luck and stop picking on the Slytherin house!"
"What is it with you and old Snivellous?" James asked loudly as he walked in with the other three Marauders close behind just before the tardy bell rang. "What on earth do you see in that future Death Eater anyways?"
"Detention, Mr. Potter," Iroh said darkly, and James yelped in surprise. "I will have no student of mine accusing another of being a Death Eater or a future Death Eater unless that student can prove to me that they've seen the Dark Mark on the accused person's forearm. Now, apologize or it will be two detentions."
"Sorry, Snivellous," James said tartly before lowering his voice. "That you're a hook-nosed Voldy-follower."
"Do I need to make it a week's worth, Potter?" Iroh growled, the flames itching ever higher towards the ceiling of the room. "Because by all means, if you do, then you have my permission to keep running your mouth so crudely to your fellow classmates. I'm warning each and every one of you now: I will not tolerate any kind of foul behavior simply over petty house rivalries! You will treat each other as your equals. If I catch you harming each other intentionally out of my classroom, you will be receiving detention. Any detention you receive from me, will be served with me, and the same goes for Silvana. I warn you of this as well: breaking my classroom rules results in an automatic detention. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes, sir," they chorused, and Iroh's eyes narrowed.
"Iroh, the flames," Silvana said as she walked down, and he nodded and closed his eyes to focus and will the flames to lower. "Thank you. So, who broke a rule before you even told them?"
"Potter," Iroh said, and Silvana's eyes snapped onto James.
"Prongs, Padfoot, Moony, and Wormtail, step forward," she ordered, and the Marauders remained where they were. "You'll step forward and obey us unless you want a year's worth of detentions that will make Filch look like a walk in a field of daisies! Now get up front, you four!"
The four still remained rooted on the spot, and the others began looking around to try to figure out who she was talking about. Iroh's temper snapped and the fires cascaded over the ceiling, startling all the students and the third years – except Snape and the Marauders – were cowering and trying to flatten themselves and keep as far away from the flames as humanly possible.
"This is your last chance," Iroh said darkly, "Before I write you little brats up for insubordination and make sure that the punishment you receive is just."
"Like that'll ever happen," James muttered before the fires turned green and electricity began crackling in the air.

Within weeks the Marauders had gotten so far on Iroh's bad side that he'd have burn them if it wasn't illegal for him to. They'd tried to drown Silvana in the lake, only to find that they'd helped her unlock her waterbending, and at length, blood-bending. She was soon spending every full moon, and every night a few nights a week, outside.
Her eyes narrowed as she saw the familiar group of werewolf and illegal animagi approach the whomping Willow. She smiled evilly as she narrowed her eyes and the four found themselves in as much point that rivaled the Cruciatus curse. This continued until about midnight and Silvana went inside to bed, her earthbending unlocked by Potter's firing off a Cruciatus curse, and she blocking it with the earth.
"All that's left is air," she whispered to Iroh as she climbed into bed.
"You stay up too late," he grumbled as he kissed her and they then went to sleep.

At length, the years passed in the Magical World, and Severus and the Marauders were in their final year. Severus had been forced out of Oriental Magic (The Marauders were swearing it was him who was hurting them at least once a week, even during the summers), even though Iroh continued to coach him outside of class on the Hogsmeade weekends.
In Severus' seventh year, however, Silvana had smiled at Christmas to Iroh and had delivered the two most terrifying words in his vocabulary to him: I'm pregnant. It was on that happy note that a few days later she unlocked her airbending for the Wizard World. And thus, it was at the end of the year that Dumbledore announced that the Oriental Magic class would be cancelled since they were leaving for her health, and nobody else would take up the job from their "country". The students were sorry to see them go, but they promised that they'd keep in touch if that was what the two teachers had wanted, to which they'd oblidged most of them.
The Marauders had known, and were able to tell that Silvana was heavily pregnant by this time, and were glaring at her protruding abdomen as Iroh fondly put his hand on top of it protectively and kissed his wife. It was Silvana who'd sensed their attack plan, and alerted Iroh to it. James and the others were ecstatic about their leaving, and were planning on one last prank that would scare the crap out of the witch.
"James," Lily said, pulling him back. "Leave her alone! Can't you see that she's pregnant? She doesn't need you stressing her out! The same goes for you three!"
"Guys, back off, we'll get them back when they return," James said confidently. "They'll come back, I know it. They'll have to once she has that kid and raises it to be a freak like he is. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a bastard."
"Remus Lupin!" Lily shouted, and he ignored her and approached the two.
"Yes, Mr. Lupin?" Silvana said warily as Iroh shifted himself so that he was easily able to firebend to protect his wife and unborn child.
"I know you hate us," he said sadly, "And – I'm sorry I never stood up to them. I was lonely, and desperate. I'd like to talk to you in your office, if you don't mind. Both of you."
"Okay," Silvana agreed, and Iroh nodded before leading the way.
"I'm sorry," Remus said as they closed the door. "I should have told you before, but I'm a werewolf, and my kind aren't accepted at all. That's why I'm scared of standing up to them – it's because they're the only ones aside from my parents who have stayed by me and not revealed what I am willingly. Dumbledore knows, of course, and so does Madame Pomfrey, but they didn't reveal it because they'd lose their jobs if they did. Again, I'm sorry for all the trouble we Marauders have been causing you, ever since day one in class. I'd apologize to Severus, but he'd hex me into oblivion…."
"We'll let him know," Silvana smiled softly. "Thank you, Remus."
"Apology accepted," Iroh said with his back now stiff as a board. It was his mental defense to ensure that he didn't do anything stupid. "Would you like to join the festivities?"
"No," he said sadly, "I can't get job offers. You know – Lycanthropy."
"I'll try to come up with a cure for you, little one," Silvana promised, "If I do, you'll be the first one to take it from this world once we're done testing it, I promise."
He smiled before the two benders walked back through the portal back to their own world, only to find that they hadn't aged very much in the magical world and that even though they'd been in the magical world for five years, only eight months had passed since they'd left.
"Well, this will be interesting," Silvana smiled before she felt a familiar sensation. "Um, Iroh…"
"Yes?" he said softly as he led her down the hallways.
"Can we go to bed? I'm tired," she said quietly, and he nodded.
"Iroh, there's another General's Meeting," his mother said as she caught him in the halls.
"Yes, mother," he sighed before handing Silvana to her and striding away out to the courtyard to find Appa, Tenzin, and Korra. "Hi."
"Welcome back! You look like you haven't aged a day!" Korra beamed. "Did you hear?"
"I just got back," he growled, "There's no chance I heard any gossip or news."
"Mako and I are married!" Korra squealed excitedly. "Oh, and there's another little air nomad on the way as well."
"Well, the Fire Nation is going to get another member in the Royal line as well fairly soon," Iroh reported, and Korra's eyes went wide.
"Silvana's pregnant? Congrats, Iroh!"
"Double Congratulations from the Nomads," Tenzin said from up front.
"Thank you," he said curtly, and Iroh was silent the entire rest of the way as Tenzin and Korra (mostly the latter) went through any details that he'd missed.
He sighed wearily as he had to listen to Korra lecturing about romances. Bolin dating Asami (no surprise there), Mako marrying her (Again, no surprise), Lin finding a long-lost nephew, who was also a metalbender and in love with one of her favorite soldiers, and that a new foe had arisen, one who had declared himself as the son of Tarlock, and the grandson of Yakone, another blood-bender. Korra scowled in recollection of what Amon had done and had almost vowed to destroy this one herself, stopping only because Aang had told her that it was the destiny of another who was able to control all the elements.
Iroh shuddered in fear at the thought of Silvana losing her bending as he let the dark waters of sleep curl around him as they journeyed.
Okay, so I know I was brief with the Marauders, and very cruel, but please remember that Silvana and Iroh hate them because of what they do to Severus, and so the two (mostly her) take it upon themselves to bring the four brats to justice, and mostly Remus was left out. So, should she give birth in the next chapter while he's gone and shock him when he gets home? Should it be a boy or a girl?
