"Harry Wake up!" Ron said in the morning throwing a pillow at Harry
Harry caught the pillow and put it over his head "What do we Have first?" He groaned
"Harry whats up, you're acting all depressed, and it's making me depressed!" Ron said
"Sorry Ron, I guess I'm still trying to convince myself it wasn't my fault" Harry said
"It wasn't," Ron said, knowing exactly what Harry meant
"I know, but it doesn't seem like it though" Harry said
Harry and Ron got dressed and went downstairs to find Hermione talking to the girls Harry has seen one too many times, and was getting annoyed that they kept showing up around him.
"ITS A GIRL VERSION OF PERCY!" Ron said, pointing at Alex wearing a prefect badge and glasses "RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!"
"Ron!" Hermione said "Be nice!"
"So you think I'm Percy huh? Not Charlie?"
"Huh?" Ron asked"How do you know Charlie?"
"Oh no not this story again" Tierney said, putting her face in her hands
"Anyone who knew the Potters knew Charlie Weasley" Alex laughed
"What?" Harry said
"oh nothing, I knew your parents, but don't ask me questions about them, it'll ruin your life like it has mine, oh and I know Percy cause I first met him when he was four and told Sirius to shut up so he could concentrate" Alex said as Ron looked at her, confused
"So Potions first right? I cant wait" Tierney said
"You're confusing" Harry said as they all walked out of the portrait hole
"Just trying to keep the Marauder spirit alive!" Melanie said with a smile
"You should see us on sugar" Alex said
"They are NOT my friends, I do NOT know them and they have no control of me whatsoev-" Tierney said staring at Alex and Melanie but was interrupted as a dog barked
"Sirius!" They all said, and Ron Hermione and Harry stared at Tierney Alex and Melanie
"Old friend we er-" Melanie said
"We helped Sirius out of Azkaban" Tierney said simply Harry looked thunderstruck, here were three girls he had never met and they helped Sirius out of Azkaban, he had met them a day ago and already owed them his life.
They arrived at potions on time (Which tierney said was a first for her) and sat down waiting for Snape, but he didn't get there, instead, five minutes later a girl, no older than 18 walked in, Harry (And Ron too seeing the look on his face) Recognised her as Fleur Delacour, a former Beaubaton student and one of Harry's old opponents in the Triwizard Tournament.
"Good morning class" She said in a heavy french accent
Hermione looked disaprovingly at the dreamy look on Ron's face
"I am your Potions teacher, Professor Delacour" She continued "I 'ope you will forgive me if I don't teach ze way Professor Snape did"
Harry was Glad Snape was gone, he had the feeling that since Voldemort's return to power, He would get more pains in his scar and Snape would mock him for it
"That class was great!" Ron said as they left
"Oh really? Tell me one thing you remember" Hermione said
"Er...." Ron said, trying to remember
"That reminds me!" Alex said, she took out an ordinary muggle Agenda and started writing in it "Memo to self: Get everyone in the school to say the word Marche-de-vie"
"Marche-de-vie?" Ron said
"One check for Ron," Alex said as she checked off Ron's name on the agenda "Yup, marche-de-vie, it means walk of life in french, wanna know what flight-of-death is in French?"
"Sure!" Ron said, wanting to impress Fleur
"VOLDEMORT!" Alex shouted in Ron's face and he fell over as everyone except Hermione laughed
"Thats not funny Alex!" Hermione said Seriously
"Well it's true, thats one reason why he chose that name" Tierney said, sounding like Hermione The rest of the day was practically uneventful other than an insane dog (A.k.a Sirius) jumping out at them every once in a while, and the Aurors patrolling the hallway and-
"PERCY?!" Ron said Suddenly as they were walking down the hallway "What are YOU doing here?"
"I am here to see the headmaster, Ministry of Magic buisness, now if you'll excuse me," Percy said, and he walked past them and headed for the dungeons
"Uh Percy?" Harry said "Dumbledore's office is that way" he pointed to the opposite direction
"Oh right," Percy said and headed in the direction Harry was pointing in
"Percy's head of department now right?" Hermione asked Ron
"Yeah and he wont shut up about it, I'm beginning to wish he was just a prefect instead"
"Percy? back here? I think I'd die from point lossage" said Tierney "I used to run into things and he'd take away 15 points!"
"Thats because you would destroy half the school in the process" Melanie said
"Shut up!"
"VOLDEMORT!" Alex yelled in Ron's face again, he twitched and fell over
"Stop that!" Ron said, getting up
"Sorry, it's fun to see how you react, you twitch, it's fun!" Alex said laughing
"Twitching is NOT fun! I've learned that from you" Tierney said angrily
"That was NOT my fault, it was the first spell that came to mind!" Alex retaliated
"You have a mind? thats more than I can say" Melanie said
"Are we gonna go to lunch or not, I'm starving" Harry said, in a much better mood than before "Can you pass the honey?" Melanie asked at the Gryffindor table
T: "Honey? is that what you call Per-"
Mel: "I DO NOT LIKE HIM!"
T: "Yeah and now you have two people who look like him your lover and your
best friend!"
Mel: "I DO NOT LOVE HIM! SHUT UP OR I'LL TELL EVERYONE YOU LIKE R-"
T: *gasp* "You wouldn't!"
Mel: "I would!"
Alex: "Mel I wouldn't talk he'd hate u for the Spider teddy-"
Mel: "Alex you swore to Secrecy!"
Alex: "And T I don't think he'd like you much if I told him the Acid-"
T: "THAT WAS YOU!"
Alex: "And of course Charlie is still mad at you cause Norbert flew off!"
T: "HEY HE TOLD ME I COULD GIVE NORBERT A SUGAR CUBE!"
Alex: "It's called sarcasm T, ask mel she should know that after loving Fred
and-"
Mel: "I DID NOT!"
Alex: "And you couldn't tell them apart! 'oh hey george!' 'I'm Fred'
'well ur George now'"
Mel: "THEY LOOK EXACTLY ALIKE!"
T:"Thats why they call them identical twins Mel!"
Mel: "Hey at least I'm not a mini Hermione!"
T: "I'M NOT THAT BLOODY SMART! No offense Hermione,"
Hermione: "None taken"
T: "I LEAST I DONT LEAVE MY BOOKS LIEING AROUND!"
Mel: "THAT WAS NOT MY BOOK THAT WAS ALEX'S BOOK!"
Alex: "HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO KNOW SHE'D TRIP OVER IT?!"
T: "WELL ITS NOT MY FAULT SOMEONE MADE AN ILLEGAL ANIMAGI POTION!"
Alex: "I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN YOU'D TRIP OVER SOMETHING MISS
CLUMSY-OF-THE-CENTURY!"
T: "CLUMSY-OF-THE-CENTURY?! WHO WAS THE ONE WHO TRIPPED OVER RANDOM MUGGLES
INTO BARRIERS AT KINGS CROSS STATION TRYING TO GET TO BEAUXBATONS?!"
Alex: "THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT!"
T: "OH YEAH 'Oops sorry miss, I just tripped over your feet and ran into a
wall!'"
Alex: "SUGAR CUBES TO A DRAGON?!"
T: "WHY DO YOU HAVE TO KEEP BRINGING THAT UP?! "
Alex: "WOULD YOU RATHER I BROUGHT UP THE SPIDER TEDDYBEAR!"
T: "THAT WAS NOT MY FAULT THAT WAS MEL'S FAULT!"
Alex: "AND THE ACID POPS?!"
T: "THAT WAS YOU!! I'D NEVER DO THAT TO HIM, I LIKE HIM!" gasp "YOU KNEW I
WAS GONNA SAY THAT!!!"
Mel: "SHE DIDN'T KNOW YOU WERE GOING TO SAY THAT BUT I'M SURE IF SHE WAS
GONNA SAY THAT YOU WOULD HAVE KNOWN!"
T: "DONT BRING THOSE PILLS UP!"
Mel: "IT WASN'T A PILL IT WAS A POTION!"
T: "DONT YOU DARE BRING UP POTIONS AGAIN!"
Alex: "ITS NOT MY FAULT YOU RAN INTO THAT POTION!!! I WAS MAKING IT FOR
SOMETHING IMPORTANT!"
T: "I USED MY ANIMAGI FORM FOR SOMETHING USEFUL!"
Alex: "YEAH SPYING ON YOUR LITTLE BOYFRIEND IS USEFUL!"
Mel: "AND TIERNEY'S ANIMAGI FORM COULD HAVE BEEN A PIXIE LIKE SHE THOUGHT WHEN SHE SAID SHE WAS TURNING INTO ONE!"
Tierney: "HEY I HAVE THE SCAR FROM WHEN ONE OF LOCKHART'S PIXIES BIT ME!!!"
They said all of this very fast, and Harry surprisingly understood every
word, but thankfully for Tierney, Harry thought, Ron looked like he didnt
understand any of it.
"Do you guys always act like this?"Hermione asked
"You should have seen us after the Lockhart Pixie incident" Alex said
grinning
"I REALLY WAS TURNING INTO A PIXIE!" Tierney said
"Good Job T now everyone knows that we're-" Melanie began but Tierney
covered her mouth
"No one was able to understand us, so shut up" she said
"Right.... now bak to lunch" Ron said
"I second that" Harry said and started eating
"Miony u gonna eat?" Ron said through a mouthful of mashed potatoes
"I'm just thinking" Hermione said looking up at the ceiling (Which was
cloudy gray and every once in a while a Fork of lightning would flash across)
"This is new?" Ron said
"No, really Ron, don't u think its strange?" Hermione said
"That you're thinking? No,"
"No, Percy" Hermione said
"Yeah Percy's strange" Alex said
"You guys I'm serious!" Hermione said
"No, Sirius is over there" Melanie said pointing at Sirius
Hermione looked annoyed, Harry noticed this so he decided to defend her.
"So Percy was here, he's head of the department now so whats the problem?"
"He was Head boy, that means he would know where Dumbledore's office is, so
if he was going to see Dumbledore, why was he headed for the dungeons at
first?" Hermione said, looking nervous
They all went quiet.
"Well yeah but, Percy's the last person to act strange" Melanie said "I mean
he's PERCY"
"Percy the Perfect Prefect" Ron said
Alex stayed quiet, but Tierney definitely didn't
"Maybe he likes Fleur!" She said grinning evily
"Aww he doesn't like Penny anymore?" Melanie said
"Things have been weird ever since Voldemort's come back" Harry said, and
Tierney and Ron flinched "Like over the summer, Dumbledore sent me all my
school stuff and sent a letter saying he didn't want to me to go to Diagon
Alley, and-" Harry stopped, everyone at the Hufflepuff table was glaring at
him
"Yes, He's always had the scar and He's always looked this handsome" Tierney
said to the Hufflepuffs
"Tierney, it's obvious why they're glaring at him, and it wasn't his fault, I
was there, I saw the whole thing. It-was-not-him" Alex said
"You were there when Voldemort-" Harry began and Ron and Tierney flinched
"Oh come off it!" Alex said
"You were there when he came back to power?" Harry said looking at Alex
"Uh.... did I just say that? Oh look at the time, quidditch practice! BYE!"
And she ran out of the hall.
" don't worry bout her" she said, her accent hard to understand "shes always
running off when she says..." she trailed off
"t, people can barley undeerstand u sometimes with that accent, go talk to
semus!"
Tierney attempts to say something but stops her self and just scuffs. she
caughs something thats sounded like "git".
****
That night at quidditch practice, (which happened to be four hours later)
They were having tryout for who should be keeper
"I don't think we should get a new keeper!" Melanie said
"Are you MAD?!? do you WANT the Slytherins to win?" Fred said
"No, she just doesn't want someone to replace W-" Alex began
"ALEX!!!" Melanie yelled at her
"You guys we've already had our fight for the day" Tierney said
George was looking thunderstruck at the stands "I'M GONNA DIE!!!" He said
suddenly
"What?" Harry said
" I j-just saw the g-grim!!" He said, his face livid with terror, Fred looked
horrified too
"Oh..." Harry looked Relieved, he thought George had seen Voldemort "is that
all"
"IS THAT ALL?!" George yelled "HARRY ARE YOU MAD?! DON'T YOU KNOW WHAT THE
GRIM IS?!"
Alex gave a loud false cough that sounded like "Sirius"
" Don't WORRY Fred," Tierney said "It's my dog, it's not the grim" Fred and
George looked relieved
"By the way, I'm george, not Fred" George said
"I knew that" Tierney said, fooling no one
"Okay You three" Harry said abruptly while Fred and George were busy watching
tryouts for the new keeper (They were only watching one extremly pretty girl
with long black hair) "How do you know Sirius?"
"Alex made me twitch" Tierney said,
"And this has to do with Sirius.... how?" Harry asked
Alex looked around to make sure no one was listening "Well, I think you've
already guessed that I knew your parents, so obviously, I knew Sirius and
Remmie Lupin as well,"
"Remmie?"
"Thats what "Lillerz" called him" Melanie said, "I've had to listen to too
many stories Alex has told me about the Marauders,"
"Yeah well anyway, like most people, I HATED Sirius after Lily and James
died, but I think it was in my first year when I met Sirius again-" Alex
continued
"But he was in Azkaban" Harry said, thinking they were all mental
"I know.... well it wasn't my fault, I have this habit of retaliating when
someone wakes me up"
"Thats the understatement of Hogwarts's life" Tierney said, Harry looked
bewildered
"Well anyway, Tierney woke me up to tell me she fell into my ani- uh Potions
homework... anyway I retaliated in the 2nd worse possible way...." Alex said,
looking like she was afraid everyone would hate her,
" She used crucio on Tierney" Melanie said
"MEL!!" Alex said looking angrily at her friend "Well, you can guess what
happened after that, Tierney screamed so hard and Dumbledore coincedentally
was walking by the portrait hole at the time and heard, well, Fudge was there
too, and they sent me to Azkaban where I shared a cell with Sirius, of course
I remembered what he did and started to try and kill him, with the
combonation of me using all my strength to kill him, and the dementors
draining my powers I fell back and Sirius took the advantage to explain it to
me, and after that Tierney, Mel and I have been trying to help him out, and
we succeeded!"
Harry looked bewildered.
"We're NOT Mental Harry, and yes I can read minds cause SOMEONE put mind
reading pills in my vitamins" Tierney said looking at Melanie
"How many times do I have to say IT WAS A POTION!"
"WE'VE ALREADY HAD THIS FIGHT TODAY!" Alex yelled
"Well Excuse moi" Tierney said
"I don't take French" Melanie said
"Well I do, I went to beauxbatons for half a year" Alex said proudly
"You went to beauxbatons because you found another barrier at kings cross!"
Melanie said
"Hey! Platform 2 and 5/9 rules!!" Alex defended. While Melanie and Alex were
fighting about beauxbatons Tierney took the oportunity to tell Harry that
they always fight like this, it shows that they are still friends, and if
they don't fight one day to be very VERY afraid. " we like to remember the
good old days...." she trailled off, apperently deep in thought, then sed, "
we've been best friends all our lives, we seem like freaks, but get to kno us
and u'll understand better." she grabed her broom hit alex over the head and
flew off to bother fred or george.

Harry caught the pillow and put it over his head "What do we Have first?" He groaned
