Hi everyone, really happy that someone gave the story a chance:D

Before I start: English is not my first language so please be understanding of possible errors.

So here you go:

"Let's play Quidditch?" James Sirius potter said for the third time that minute.

"Sorry Prongsie, we're too few."

"I'm so bored. Finally summer holidays, but we're not doing anything," James was sitting with Fred and Roxanne at James' in Godric's Hollow.

"I also wanna do something. It's way more fun at Hogwarts, with all pranks. We're just rotting here".

James had invited two of his best friends, to his parent's home. They had just finished their sixth year at Hogwarts and the following day Louis Weasley would arrive.

Together they were Hogwarts' well-known pranksters. Poor professor McGonagall, she had to first experience the Marauders, then the Weasley-twins and now the next generation of Marauders. (But of course, they thought that she was unbelievably lucky.)

Voices were heard from downstair and they went down to see who it was. James brightened up when he saw Teddy. He and Victoire had just arrived. Harry feared the worst when he saw the three marauders' faces.

"What are you three up to?" At once their faces were replaced by innocent, sweet expressions- which didn't fool anyone. Harry was skilful and knew exactly how he should behave to reveal their plans. Luckily Teddy rescued them.

"Oh, I was supposed to give them the new broom magazine. You know, the one with the Thunderbolt 2000." Harry's face broke up to a relieved smile. Behind him, Teddy winked towards the Marauders. This was why they loved Teddy so much. No matter how much Teddy seemed to be a clever, ambitious and adult wizard, deep down he was as much of a prankster as they were. (Even if he became more mature around Victoire.)

James, Fred and Roxanne went up again. After a while Teddy joined them.

"Guys, you have to practice your poker faces. We were nearly exposed." Smiling, he threw a paper bag that Roxanne caught.

"Nice Teddy!" She exclaimed.

At last they had got hold of the very latest from the Weasleys Wizard Wheezes. Although Roxanne and Fred's dad who owned it, their mother Angelina meticulously made sure they didn't take or buy anything. From time to time George would let Teddy pick up some products. He knew very well were it would end up, and who was George Weasly to stop the new generation of pranksters.

James cheered happily."Tomorrow we'll finally do things our way!"

Teddy smiled and said "Yeah, just remember not to mention me. That will be the end of your lawbreaking days. See you Prongs junior." Laughing he went down the stairs while the rest snorted. As if their lawbreaking days would ever end.

The sun was shining over Godric's Hollow the next July day. After ten o'clock Louis arrived with his sister Dominique.

"Good day Prongs," began Louis. He stretched out his hand towards James.

"How do you do, Louis?" Both tried to keep straight faces. The Marauders were always like this when they met.

"How is my dear cousin?"

"Splendid," James replied.

"Where are our reverenced twins?" Fred and Roxanne rolled their eyes.

"Nice to meet you, cousin" they said simultaneously. James saw Harry watching them amused, as if he was reliving a memory.

As usual they sat in the living room, upstairs. It had always been like that, whenever the Marauders visited James. The room was just the right size with several sofas and armchairs. A large fireplace lit up the room. Most would say, it reminded them of the Gryffindor common room. Most of furniture were red with patterns of golden thread. The walls were decorated with several paintings. In short, James's influence over the interior was clear. He was after all, a proud Gryffindor.

"We should do something" Louis began.

"Yeah, why don't we have any portraits of the Marauders? They would know what to do." James often complained about the lack of portraits of James, Sirius or Remus; Pettigrew was not counted as a Marauder.

"Wouldn't it be cool if we could go back in the time when the marauders were at Hogwarts?" Roxanne thought half loud.

"Brilliant Roxie! But how are we gonna go back in time?" Fred's eyes began to sparkle.

"We should think of something to do there. Like a mission." Roxanne started thinking about a possible adventure.

"Yes," James said energetically. "We can try to save someone from becoming a Death Eater..."

"Smart Prongs, who can we possibly save...eh...save from Voldemort?" Roxanne's face was ghostly similar to Fred's.

"Think Death Eaters, which...guys I know! The choice is pretty obvious." Everyone's faces turned to Roxanne.

"Regulus Black, of course."

Fred lit up. "Brilliant Roxie!"

"Ok, when we know how to go back in time..."

"Sorry Prongs because now I'll have to spoil the plan." Louis looked at them in disbelief.

"Even if we know how to go back to the 1970s, you do realise we have to do something with your appearance?"

"I look like a handsome Potter," James began arrogantly.

"Yeah Prongs, after what we've heard you look like a clone of the original Prongs."

James nodded slowly and then he smacked his forehead. "Yeah, how could I forget?"

"Even if Fred and Roxie," Louis continued, "don't have the traditional look of a Weasley, ehm..." Both twins nodded understandingly.

Both twins had George's face shape. Fred's appearance was just like George's, but with a darker shade of Weasley hair. They even had as many freckles. Roxanne's hair was almost as dark as Angelina's with a little less freckles. But otherwise, they were exactly the same. They thought alike, had the same facial expressions and just like their father and dead uncle they were pranksters.

"People will probably react at James, but the rest of us, I don't know...My blonde hair is from my mother." Louis pointed at his veela-blonde hair.

"Okay, we'll fix the appearance-stuff later. The question is how do we go back 46 years." Fred was getting boring with the details.

"WHAT! Are you going back to...wait a minute...to 1976?" Lily had left her room with Dominique. She stared at her older brother.

"Lils, stop being dramatic. You aren't that different from me." James said in a smug grin.

"Sure if you say so," she gave him a McGonagall-stare.

"Lils no!" Fred yelled. "You can't go to the Dark Side. Don't give us The Stare."

Lily started to laugh. "Dark side? Seriously?"

Everyone laughed except for Fred. "You are evil. Do you hear me? Evil!"

"No, no Freddie. I've only practiced to scare you with the feared McGonagall-stare." Lily was carrying the same smug grin as James.

"Where's Al?" Roxanne asked.

"With Scorp at Malfoy Manor." James had given up his opinions about the Malfoy family a long time ago. Albus being friends with Scorpius Malfoy had made all prejudice vanish

"All right. Me and Dominique are leaving. See you later." Lily started to walk towards the stairs. Dominique looked at her brother.

"Don't do anything stupid now. Victoire will kill us otherwise."

When she left Louis groaned. "She's right."

Roxanne shook her head. "I think she exaggerates."

"No" protested Louis, "Or yes. I don't know. Sometimes Victoire's worse than us and Teddy, and sometimes she's like mum. Can't believe we are siblings."

Fred shook his head dissatisfied.

"Come on. How are we going back in time?"

James thought about it. "Time-Turner would work."

Louis shook his head, with something in his eyes indicating he was amused.

"None of us know how to use one of those."

Defeated they gave up the idea.

"Wanna play Quidditch?"

"Yeah, I'll go ask if dad wants to play with us." James flew up from the chair and ran down the stairs. After ten minutes they started to play Quidditch with Harry, Ginny, Lily and Dominique. After a noisy hour they went inside. James turned to his mother.

"Do we have a Time-Turner somewhere?" Ginny looked at him suspiciously.

"Why do you ask?"

"Just wondering, " James shrugged his shoulders and Ginny seemed to think.

"In Harry's office, I think." She said absentmindedly, went to the living room and left James, who carefully went and picked it up.

"Look at James's face. Something's up." Louis looked expectantly at James.

"Check it out, now we can figure out how we are going back to 1976." James held out the Time-Turner. Fred and Roxanne grinned identically. Louis looked confused.

"Uh, have all of you hit your head? What are you thinking with?"

Fred smiled stupidly towards Louis. "You're more dense than Goyle in Slytherin, Lou. Now we can go back to..."

"Merlin, it was just a joke." Louis interrupted him. Something in his eyes got Roxanne rethink.

"Well it would be fun, but..." she hesitated, "There's much we don't know. How do we get back? Is it even legal?" Fred smiled sarcastically and said

"Of course it's legal Roxanne. The ministry encourages people to travel back in time and risk everything." Roxanne grimaced and stuck out her tongue at him. It made everyone laugh, and just like that they left the time-turner idea.

Afterwards they played Exploding Snap for a while. Dominique came up and announced that dinner was ready. James jumped up from the couch.

"Finally!" He exclaimed. "I'm so hungry I could eat a hippogriff." Dominique raised an eyebrow.

"When are you not hungry?"

Everyone laughed...except James. He smiled sourly. "Haha, fun! Move over Flame. I want to eat." Dominique hit his head. James laughed, Dominique hated being called Flame, something James called her often because of her Weasley hair.

After dinner they hung out with Lily and Dominique downstairs. At last, they went up. James behaved as normal, which meant he ran up the stairs and threw himself on the couch. All four of them plunged onto the same sofa. They heard a sound from James pocket. Slowly and with a confused expression he put his hand in his pocket. It was filled with sand. Before any of them had time to react everything went black.

The last thing they heard was James saying "Oops!"

So what did you think? Would love reviews!
