Return Of The Marauders

Disclaimers: Harry Potter doesn't belong to me, the story belongs to me, everything else belongs to J.K. Rowling and Warner brothers

Warnings: For this chapter, Harry unloads everything that he and Neville are feeling as lets Deloris Umbridge and Percy have it finally. This Chapter includes 1/3 of the venting in The Order Of The Phoenix, as well. As the D.A. is born that year and he says his feelings, regarding his bonds to Moody and Remus. As well as being able to come into his own as he tells Minerva and Severus the truth.

In how he feels about them, and before they do a tour of the castle for the Dursleys and the Grangers, as the quartet and Draco get their bonds into place. Before the school term starts as Fudge also fires Umbridge before the events of the first book even begin now, for the quartet and the twins as they start.

Chapter 26: Future Reprimands And Year Two Discussions

"So what kind of effect do think you think that reveal is going to get from every pureblood death eater in the country?" I asked and he smiled sternly. "A highly dangerous one now, they know that the ministry will be knuckling down harder on them. As they get caught with contraband or say the raid at his house and he is toast now."

"Then again it doesn't surprise me at the moment that Lucius sees Dan and me with Arthur, Molly and Petunia in the alley and then realizes that things changed. They never seen you this confident in your choices, or that you're acting like Ginny is your girlfriend." Emma said and I nodded as I wrapped my arm around Ginny's shoulders smiling then.

"And she is now, us starting this young, I am protecting the girls with my life, but how about all of us meet up at the Leaky Cauldron. We meet there, once the story gets out and we can do shopping together in two weeks." I suggested and they all nodded to my idea then as Draco nudged me and I pushed him back as it started going back and forth.

"Alright guys cool it already." Cedric said smiling and we nodded. "Junior lord and lady shopping catch for the month before school starts?" He added and we both nodded to him smiling at the remark. "Yeah first us and then Luna joins as we do this every year. But good idea, we can be like everyone else." Draco said smiling to that suggestion.

"Well at the moment I need you both, so no need to get jealous." I said, looking between the trio of my paternal figures and they nodded. "Issues of stepping into the parental role, it comes easier for some then it does for others here, son." Sirius told me and I nodded as I answered him gently at that remark as I looked between them at that.

"I guess you would see me as dad, you and me fighting it out together, like you and dad always did and I'm beyond good. That while I'm keeping them busy, the sextet get the quintet undercover of the hexes flying all over the place?" I asked and he and Remus nodded as Remus said it for both them at remark with a bemused smile then.

"Yes and you look just like your father, so seeing you standing there with Sirius as it's going back and forth I feel like I'm seeing the duo when we were your age. At the dueling club we had at the time here, to the point it doesn't surprise me. That he would call you by your middle name in the fight." he said and Moody and Kingsley nodded to that.

"Us as well at the moment that we're seeing you in action and this time it's no longer fun and games in training, but a life and death fight here. You're a skilled warrior in your prime that they, your team, don't have skill your skill in the field of battle here." Kingsley said and I nodded as I looked between the quartet and Dora gently as I answered that.

"Issues in training we got a sparring platform at the house and instead of trouble you're training me and helping me practice. Before we activate the dueling club, and before we give a demonstration of my powers. And as Draco conjures a snake and I make my declaration." I said and Draco smiled at the suggestion as he got it in what I meant.

"So first you tell it to stand down and then you tell them you are hunting for the real heir of Slytherin who possessed your girlfriend?" Draco asked and I nodded. "Yeah that is exactly what I do mean, I just hope our troublesome Hufflepuff doesn't do that twice." I said and he started laughing as Minerva translated what I meant by that remark.

"Before the second attack and Hagrid was talking to Harry, I was reprimanding a hufflepuff boy who just turned his best friend into a badger." she said and the faculty started laughing at the memory. "How long did it take you to change him back, Professor?" Vernon asked with a bemused smile and she chuckled as she said it to him.

"A couple minutes, but he mixed up certain words and the results were his attempt backfired on his friend that night. My class is transfiguration, changing something, say a animal, into a water goblet, beetles into buttons and so on. Jamie was best at that, Harry got a mixture of his parents, but he excells in Defense." she said and they nodded to her.

"Yeah for obvious reasons, I been in the thick of it for 2.5 years it's my job to protect others as my career path, after I deal with this, is I'm an auror in training now." I said and they nodded. "And you certainly made us proud, but the more training and the better chance you have of pulling it off now." Sirius told me and I nodded smiling at him then.

"Maybe, but you guys are definitely stepping into it over the next five years, but 6 weeks starting next summer at my aunt's house, the last two at your's. And we do this every year until year 5 as that is when the trouble really starts. You're my father figure now, but I am just making this clear." I said and looked at my trio with a stern look then.

"Just go ahead and say it Harry you made your choice, we're together this young now, I belong to you, and you saved my life. I need you to help me deal with it, but then that deepened our bonds, you're my everything, like me being yours now." Ginny told me and I nodded as I stroked a hand through her hair as I pressed my forehead to hers, smiling.

"My betrothed, my wife, anyone comes near you and they will pay for it now amd I mean that, they mess with you and they mess with me." I said and she nodded. "Then make that clear, my love, before they trigger a fatal mistake, you know how to treat a lady." she said and I nodded as I kissed her forehead, before I looked at my trio sternly.

"Before anyone starts getting jealous, what I choose is of my own accord, yes I am your best friend, you two. But there is three things I want to make abundantly clear, as I get a paternal figure finally at the moment. But you both have your parents, he is my father now, so just because I spend my time training or am in father/son time now."

"With him, Remus or Severus, the duo, even my uncle, that is no reason to get jealous, or start thinking I'm going to abandon you." I said and the duo nodded and then my voice hardened and Ginny crossed her arms as Cho turned her head to us then. "You may have had me first and want to spent more time with me and less with your sister."

"And are trying to encourage me to start flirting with a girl my age or a year older here now, I'm saying this. But Cho is not my type, I love Ginny, she is my everything, but how would you like it if I made you choose between me or him, or her and me?" I asked and they nodded, lowering their heads and their parents nodded sternly to that remark.

"Cho belongs to Cedric, I belong to Ginny and that's that, clear." I said and they both nodded and Minerva nodded to me in a 'just go ahead and say it, more time on your studies, less time goofing off' nod of her head to me and I hid a nod. "And Mione I am saying this to you, as I am preparing to deal with my mission now, in studies."

"And three and more importantly, just because I take the same classes you take, it doesn't give you the right to get jealous. And it's because I'm doing even better then you are, in our primary or the extras, understand, Sirius, Severus and Remus. They all made it clear, you go by the instructions it doesn't alway work, you got to wing it, you two."

"To survive I have to change, no more playing around, I got a ton of studying to do, so though I'm on the peewee league, starting next term. Work first, play later starting now, is that clear?" I added and they both nodded sighing, knowing I changed from their me and into the me that the professors all wanted me to be now at the time finally at that.

"You know that mission was my life's work, I got to get rid of him for good and Neville and I are the boys who lived. Our parents defied Riddle three times and survived three time, we have to take this seriously. My classes are the key to that, but if I want to be normal then Ginny is helping me deal with the burden." I said sternly and they nodded.

"Gin?" I said and she nodded as she moved into my arms. "Toppy, get the ring." I said and he nodded and disappeared as I squeezed her hand. "My soul belongs to you, my love, from here on in, my heart and soul, it belongs to you." I said and she smiled as she gave me a hug and Sirius exchanged smiles with Molly at the remark as he came back.

"I love you, I always did, not a crush, it never was, it was like my heart was saying we were meant to be." she told me and I nodded. "Yes, I know, I always knew, I was waiting for the right moment before I decided on this. But it's time, even before the contract was signed and sealed, love at first sight, all over again." I said, looking into her eyes then.

"This ring, as a token of my love for you is my promise, I belong to you, my heart and soul are yours now." I said, putting the ring on her finger and it flashed at that as my family patch appeared on her cloak. "It's done, she's the betrothed of Harry James Potter as of today." Arthur said smiling and Sirius nodded in agreement to that remark gently.

"So 6 years as a promise, 3 in engagement and we get married 2 years after things settled." she said and I shook my head. "Though wizards in our way we're adults at 17, we wait until past 21 and then we get married. But first we see how living together is, before we get married goes." I said and she nodded as Molly smiled in relief I said that.

"Agreed, give it till you're over 21 and spend a few years living like a married couple, before you get married, you two." Arthur and Remus said together and we nodded. "Yes I agree with your father, Ginny give a few years after you graduate before you get married. And run a trial period in living together." Molly said and she nodded as Molly said it then.

"You know he's right, you two, he's right, just because he spends time with her, doesn't give you the right to get jealous. His choices are his own, like yours are your own, so just because he's the first to have a life outside of your circle. It doesn't give you the right to get jealous, especially after she suffered a trauma." Molly said and the duo looked down.

"Simply being the friend and boyfriend she needs right now, after she suffered a trauma in getting possessed. He saved your sister, so what's the problem, can't he have friends outside of the two of you right now?" Remus asked them and they swallowed hard then. "It doesn't give you the right to get jealous simply now because he's growing up."

"He's the first of you to have a steady relationship, even if she is a year younger then you are, or that means it's your own sister too, young man. You don't want her around and you push him away to now in the process, eroding the fabric of your friendship. As he seeks her out to comfort her, but leave out the girl you're trying to push on him."

"So what, are your feelings more important then the trauma that they both suffered at the hands Tom Riddle and Lucius Malfoy, is it?" Molly asked and Ron paled at that. "No they're not, he loves her enough that he risked his life to save her's. So that doesn't give you the right to get jealous when she's recovering from a trauma and him with her."

"Nor does it give you the right to make another girl jealous, especially just to get her out of the way." Arthur added sternly and Ron swallowed hard at that. "Young lady, just because he's doing great in some of the classes you're taking. That also doesn't give you the right to push him into quitting." Emma and Minerva said and Mione looked down.

"You want to consider that you tell them he left and he sees that as a betrayal in going on his own, he found what he needed, but all you're doing is sitting on your behind. Criticizing everything he does after your attitude problem in years 4 and 6 and he reached his limit of your attitudes anyway if you take off on him right now you two."

"You leave him on his own and he's finishing his mission, but I didn't give him enough to go on and that horcrux is ijust increasing the negative emotions. But let me make this clear, but when under a spell you tell the truth, no matter how much it hurts. Said hurts, hurts the person you're bashing, Harry is losing us one by one and all you two now."

"Are thinking about is yourselves." Dumbledore said sternly and they swallowed hard at his remark then. "After losing Sirius he's scared out of his mind he's going to lose another member of his adopted family. Are you even considering his studies of Severus's potions book are the key to that, you get poisoned and Severus helps him out now."

"You're jealous that with Severus's tips in potions he beats your score highly as his skills are now matching Lilly's and you want his attention to continue being in the lime light. He is helping you get over your fears on the pitch by giving you something now. Just to calm your nerves, is that jealousy or is that your pushing being a prefect too far here."

"You want to protect your secret, that's fine, but like his sessions with me, you can tell him and Ron, like he tells you what I'm teaching him. But this attitude of yours is the reason now that the death eaters nearly destroyed your trio that year. As for his relationship with your sister Ronald, his love life is no business of yours right now."

"Now when under my guardianship its 'in loco parentis', meaning Minerva and I are doing things in place of your parents now. Do you want me to tell your father that you are being cross with your best friend simply. And because he wants to spend time with your sister?" Dumbledore asked and he paled at that remark and the faculty nodded sternly.

"He's happy, he's got a chance to help her recover from her trauma now, but how would you like it if he told you that you can't be friends with Hermione. She's his sister, and you saved her, you think you would appreciate his telling you. You can't be friends with her, when you saved her life that night, making you choose between your friendship."

"With him, or his acting like her, your sister's, boyfriend when they're one step away from getting together, tell me would you appreciate that if he did that to you?" he asked and Ron swallowed and shook his head. "Your behavior is under a three strike rule, but do I have to take away that time turner to get you to realize this at the moment now."

"That you wanting the lime light, in either of your cases, is wearing thin on his patience and our's when Harry keeps turning to Sirius for advice at the time. You had a family, he doesn't and now that he's got a father figure you act all jealous about it. I would call it that the one being all stuck up is you, when he wants to change at the moment."

"You're refusing to let him get his chance to be in the spotlight, for his good grades, he doesn't have to keep coming to me or your fathers for paternal attention. Not when he has Sirius and Remus back and finally when he's reached being a normal teenager. When in love you get ticked he's dating Ginny." Dumbledore said and Emma nodded sternly.

Pulling Ginny closer to me I pressed my forehead to her's and she smiled as she wrapped her hand around the back of my neck to keep us like that. "Young lady, he's absolutely right, sure you're the smartest girl I ever seen, but right now that attitude. That is making you momumentally stupid at the current moment out of jealousy and arrogance."

"Just what do I have to do, tell Minerva to take away your time turner?" Emma asked and she swallowed hard at that. "Your mothers and Minerva are right at the moment, you two, this attitude of yours at 13. Especially if Harry proved that Peter was still alive is enough, you questioning whether he did a spell we taught him to catch Peter now."

"That he did it correctly, all it shows is your jealousy that he can do things you can't, you're jealous he made a fool of you that you and Percy had an escaped criminal. And all this time, just consider why never I ran that spell myself, answer: We did. And the second we do he would kill us and escape." Arthur said and Ron paled at that news.

"You're eroding the fabric of your friendship by doing all of this, but do you want to give Riddle more ammunition against you, and so he can destroy us, more easily?" Charlie added and they swallowed hard. "But just because he has Sirius now, is spending more time with Ginny and is getting good grades in class doesn't give you the right here."

"To get jealous as all that does is make you weaker and Tom stronger and I should know, consider possessions, Riddle possesses him. It's going to test his strength and will and us with him, that is why I am teaching him to block him out. But you're pushing him like this, is making him weaker and making it far too easy." Severus said sternly to finish it.

"We..., we never realized that." Ron said and he nodded sternly. "Choosing between you and Harry, young man you were jealous he had money and fame. But do you want to be famous for the fact it was all because you survived the spell that killed your uncles. And your mother and me?" Arthur asked him and he shook his head and Bill nodded sternly.

"He hates his title, he hates the fact he survived a curse where so many, including his parents didn't, in year four he sees my son get shot down. And he's stuck living with the guilt that he talked him into getting first place position with him. But do you want that guilt, that fact your parents died saving your life?!" Amos asked and Ron paled at that.

"He lost everything the night his parents were murdered, but he never wanted his fame, he wants to be like us. He would give up every galleon he had, just to have his parents back his family, you have something he wants, a loving family, parents. Never take that for granted, Ronald, you as well, Hermione." Charlie said sternly and Ron quickly said it.

"I never knew that, he never told me that." he said and they nodded. "Then think more about his feelings and less about yourselves starting right now, you two." Bill said sternly and they nodded quickly. "If these books say anything, that's why Pettigrew escaped, why he got possessed, it's you were jealous, you were thinking only about yourselves."

"You never trust his skills, you have little respect for his feelings, it's no bloody wonder in why Tom lead him into a trap and Lestrange murdered Sirius. If you two would think more about his feelings and less about yourselves. Then he wouldn't keep getting stuck in these messes." Crouch said sternly and I nodded as I looked from him to Fudge gently.

"Like you said, so many wizards had been hoodwinked by this lunatic, that telling the difference between lies and truth is hard. And the Professor made a point, soon enough we must all choose between what is right and what is easy." I said and Dumbledore nodded in agreement as the ministry all nodded in agreement as I looked at the trio.

"You better stop with the belief system, look at things from all angles, and starting now just try any of the four options to check instead of automatically assuming." I said and Crouch nodded to me as he crossed his arms then. "Uh huh, alright I get the point, I made that mistake once and it had you trapped in the muggle world until today now."

"I am not making the same mistakes twice, Cornelius we have got to change things right now, before this happens again. Bellatrix is a given, but Sirius doesn't have that dangerously maniacal edge to him, son what was that book you had?" he asked and I gave it to him and he read chapter three to himself and nodded to me gently.

"She's right, not all of the pureblood families are like that, that's like saying all Slytherin families are like the Death Eaters and the Gaunts. Not true, well we just use this story as a reference starting now, but what about you son, once you come into contact with him?" he asked and I crossed my arms as I answered him gently at his question then.

"Honestly, I don't give a damn, he can ask me all he wants, join him or death and I will not join the man that murdered my family." I said sternly and he nodded to that news. "Professor, how well did you really know my father?" I asked and Mad-eye smiled. "Extremely well son, he said that if he had the chance, he would have signed you up."

"So you could train under me personally once out of Hogwarts, but watching you from this age to when I met you in the storyline now. That's even better at the moment, but you are really good, and I understand this. But half of this was self fullfilling prophecy, and the other half was destiny for you to have us as your mentors right now."

"You being taught by us in the way your parents were, but you're more like them then you know son, in time, you'll come to realize how much." he said and I nodded as Remus look at me smiling and I knew that's what he was thinking as we had that conversation. The night that the duo were in Hogsmeade when Sirius tried to get into the dorms.

"Did they honestly expect to get away with this, you just get me back and I remind all of you way too much of my parents here. But increased security just took on a entirely whole new meaning as not only are all of you at the quidditch cup. But you have at least 30 members of the order and ministry here for the tournament, including yourself."

"How does Barty expect to get away with it in using my wand and framing Winky, before he targets me and I tell you ahead of time I never did it.?" I asked and Crouch crossed his arms. "Yes and we all know this too, you already swore on your magic the night of the tournament began when your name comes out of the goblet of fire here now."

"But you are way too much like James as it is, and he would never have tried this, but if he was alive and heard someone framed you. He would demand a retrial and we do it twice and as you refused, as refusal to participate saps the magic. Right out of the person that put your name in there, before Barty gets laid out and changes back."

"And we arrest him anyway for attempted murder, but doing it that way just delays the inevitable, so lets just get this over with. As we kill him a second time, and this time for real as you have me here for the entire 7 years and Alastor and I train you in that." he said and I nodded as I answered him gently at the remark as I looked between them.

"You think Ollivander is going to wonder in why the five of us chose our wands instead of the wands choosing us?" I asked and Crouch chuckled. "He'll wonder at you naming off the exact touch, but let it go later as you show that these wands match you perfectly. Let me guess your wand is the brother of Riddle's wand?" he asked and I nodded to him.

"It triggered a case of priori incantatem in the shootout causing the last kills his wand did did to start going in reverse order. So if Cedric was the last after he came back..." I said and they nodded to me. "You're seeing your parents at the end of it, we get it, but I can clone myself and he kills my clone so I'm here and we prevented that, now Harry."

"But I'm your brother as a fellow junior lord, our families are linked together forever, we just change a few things and we win." Cedric said and I nodded in agreement to his thoughts. "You're a third year now, Cedric, by the time we hit the tournament you're a seventh year." I said and he nodded to me gently as answered me at that remark then.

"I know, but though I'm really good, he's even better as he studied spells I would never even attempt, but we spend four years training, every summer. And I clone myself before the tournament and we got a chance now, you're not going to lose me that fast. Made mistakes, so we get a second chance to get it right." he said and I nodded in agreement.

"Well all I can say is that I at least get to see you all the time now, someone wants to test me here, they're facing a losing battle at this rate. We got the memories of 2.5 years and before anyone does anything stupid better use the books as a reference. And change things, before we have a repeater here." I said and the faculty nodded in agreement.

"Say not finding out till Mione gets petrified and that Myrtle was the one that died, before we do anything about this and with it. Once things start after Lucius tries to boot the Professor out of the castle, it's never mind Aragog. You're telling Gilderoy to put his money where his mouth is?" Severus asked and I nodded, and the quartet gave a nod.
