We solemnly swear our writing's no good!
Disclaimer: You know the routine by now! But if you feel the need for a disclaimer look at chapters 1 or 2.
A/N: C.Moony and S.Prongs (S.Padfoot is her split personality) proudly present this fic! Ok, first of all a HUGE THANKYOU to our reviewers, you guys rock! Keep up the excellent job you are all doing in reviewing this story! Sorry this chapter took a lot longer than the others did but blame stupid college work (it's as EVIL as Pettigrew).
Chapter 4- Bonjour to a different Hogwarts
"Twist and shout, c'mon c'mon now baby, now c'mon baby, twist and shout, twist and-"
"SHUT THE HELL UP!" James yelled, shoving his head under his pillow. The bathroom door opened and Sirius slid across the dormitory in just a towel.
"Whoa! Jamie-boy's cranky this morning! I know what would cheer him up, a nice little song." Sirius began to sing again, sliding around the dormitory and shaking his ass in what he saw as a dance routine.
"Sirius leave him alone and spare all of our ears," Remus' groaned from his bed.
"Black, I'm warning you!" James said dangerously. Sirius being a self- proclaimed 'dare-devil' ignored James' warning and sang louder. "That's it! You asked for it Black!" James jumped out of bed, pushed Sirius out of the door swiping his towel in the process and put a locking charm on the door. James got back into bed as the amused and shocked Remus and Peter stared at each other, Sirius' knocking and verbal cursing being the only sound that could be heard.
A few moments later there was a huge outbreak of laughter, soon after the door opened and Sirius entered.
"But, how did you-" Peter began and then spotted the two girls stood behind him, one with their wand raised.
"Ah Peter, I am just a genius."
"Yeah, genius here came down to the common room, a few things missing," Lily informed them. "Like his clothes and a few million brain cells." The others all began to laugh.
"Hey James, next time let Sirius keep the towel, he could have traumatised some of the younger years." Jennifer Moody said between laughs.
"What are you wearing?" Remus nodded to the scarlet material that was wrapped around Sirius' waist.
"A curtain." Sirius stated simply.
"So you can add vandalism as well as indecent exposure to your list of activities this morning then."
James hadn't said a word through this; he just lay on his bed staring at the ceiling. Lily approached his bed and sat down.
"James?" Lily spoke gently, "James, what's wrong?" James tore his eyes away from the ceiling and stared at Lily for a moment. His gaze then went around the room to the others, Sirius grinned and waved to show that he was back.
"Nothing, I was just thinking, that's all."
"You don't look well, you look as if you haven't slept in awhile."
"Sirius snores." James grinned.
"I do not!"
Ginny sat on the bed nervously fidgeting with the hem of her robe while waiting for Harry to get changed into his robes. She had a lot to take in and a lot to be nervous about. Not only did she somehow time travel it just happened to be with Harry the guy she has a huge crush on. Not only had she met Harry's father, it was his dead father as a teenager. She had found out that a known murderer was in fact not a murderer and she had to make sure she didn't say anything about the future. However, the most daunting and hardest thing for Ginny was the fact of starting Hogwarts again.
Last time that happened she had made virtually no friends, embarrassed herself a countless number of times, was labelled a nobody and pretty much ignored. The only time anyone acknowledged her was usually because she was the sister of the famous Weasley brothers.
She wondered if Harry would leave her alone to spend all of his time with his parents and forget about her, kind of like what her brothers did. She was a burden to them, their annoying little sister who they wouldn't let be involved in their lives but wouldn't let have one of her own. 'No,' she thought sadly. 'Harry probably won't even notice what I do anyway.'
"Ginny?" Harry's voice broke into Ginny's thoughts. She turned to see Harry in his black Hogwarts robes and Dumbledore stood in the doorway smiling.
"Ah, Miss Weasley, it is nice of you to join us," Ginny blushed and muttered an apology. "No my dear girl, nothing to apologise for. One often gets lost in thought and thinking is a rather good gift to possess, I do it myself now and again." This caused both Harry and Ginny to smile, it seemed as if Dumbledore was always quite mad.
Dumbledore escorted Harry and Ginny to the Great Hall receiving quite a few curious stares, for one thing the headmaster did not usually walk the corridors especially with students and for another most people didn't know who they were (although a few students did say "hi James" to Harry).
The Great Hall was nearly full and as they entered the stares increased. As Dumbledore led them up front to the teacher's table, Harry spotted his dad at the Gryffindor table. Butterflies erupted in Harry's stomach as he caught a glimpse of the girl sat next to him, a girl with auburn hair and sparkling emerald green eyes.
Dumbledore stood at the front smiling happily to himself while he waited for everyone's attention, he did not have to wait long as they were all way too curious.
"Ah, I am most apologetic for interrupting your breakfast, although I am quite surprised I must say to see so many of you up this early on a Sunday. Anyway, I have a very important announcement and two delightful young students for you all to meet," Dumbledore said with some enthusiasm as students were now craning their necks to have a good look. "We are privileged to be joined by two fifth year exchange students from Beauxbatons, Miss Virginia Weasley and Mr Harry Potter." Whispers erupted through the hall and many gazes flickered from James to Harry and back. "The sorting hat has already placed them both into Gryffindor house, but I ask you all to make them feel very welcome." Dumbledore's gaze flickered towards the Slytherin table, where no one looked in the slightest bit ready to be friendly. "Ah, and oh yes one more thing, in connection with the colour changing chain letter, next time please refrain from sending me one, I quite clashed." Dumbledore smiled in the direction of the Marauders, waved his hand for everyone to continue breakfast and ushered Harry and Ginny towards the Gryffindor table.
They were headed towards the only empty seats, which were at the end of the table when Harry heard his name being called.
"Hey Potter!" Harry turned to see Sirius calling him over while trying to shove some other students up. They finally moved up when Remus had asked them politely and Sirius stood grinning, pointing to the two empty seats. "Come sit with us and bring the lovely lady!" Ginny blushed slightly at the compliment, followed Harry over to the Marauders and sat down.
"Hi, so you're James' cousin?" Remus looked from Harry to James and then back again. "The family resemblance is quite remarkable," he added. It was silent for a moment as everyone's attention was directed towards Harry and James.
"Well, I just hope the resemblance spans further than their looks because with another Potter we can really wreak some havoc around this place." Sirius had a mischievous glint in his eye. James and Harry were both silent, this was still a little overwhelming for them both.
"Weasley?" Lily took her eyes off Harry for a moment and asked Ginny kindly, Ginny nodded. "Are you any relation to Arthur Weasley? He left several years ago now, but you have the same hair and eyes." At first Ginny didn't know what to say but eventually she nodded.
"Arthur? Yes, we're related, distantly though." Lily smiled and Ginny smiled back.
"Virginia, isn't it?" Jennifer asked.
"I prefer Ginny," Ginny said quietly, Lily smiled again.
"Ginny, it is. I'm Lily and this is Jennifer."
"You don't really want to know the others, they are complete gits!" Jennifer gestured towards the Marauders.
"How can you say such a thing?" Sirius asked rather dramatically.
"Ok," Jennifer looked apologetic. "Remus over there is really nice, that one Peter can be quite sweet, James is really funny but Sirius is still a real git."
"Ginny my dear, do not believe a word this girl tells you, she is a Moody therefore she is not mentally stable. Her Uncle is an auror called 'Mad- eye' Moody and his name suits him perfectly as it is not just by name but by nature." Sirius received an elbow in the ribs for this.
"My Uncle Alastor is not mad, a little eccentric yes, and I am in no way mentally unstable."
"Yes, is that what the nice doctor's tell you in St Mungos?" Sirius received another elbow in the ribs and a kick in the shin.
"Do they often put you in a straight jacket when you become this violent or is it into the padded room?" Jennifer then shoved Sirius' head into his breakfast.
"See, what did I tell you? A real git!"
"So," an amused Remus spoke up watching Sirius pull bacon from his hair. "You both went to Beauxbatons? What's it like?" Ginny and Harry looked at each other.
"Not that much different from here I suspect." James spoke for the first time and both Harry and Ginny were grateful and agreed.
"Why didn't you come to Hogwarts?" Peter asked.
"Well, um…it's because our fathers are aurors abroad and our families all live in France, so…well, so they thought it would be useful if we went to a school which spoke the French language." Harry answered a little unsure whether this would be accepted.
"So, did you speak French all the time?" Peter seemed interested. Harry had to contain himself, he didn't want to answer Peter's question, he just wanted to spit in his eye and beat his brains out. He tried to make himself remember that in this time Peter wasn't supposed to be evil and was one of his parents best friends, but it was hard.
"Uh, no." Harry said simply.
"Can you speak some French for us, though? Remus now seemed just as interested as Peter. James and Harry both looked at each other, not knowing what to do until Ginny began to speak. They were all in awe at how she seemed to speak French fluently with an almost perfect accent.
"Whoa! I couldn't understand a word you said," Sirius said in amazement. "Do you think you could teach me? It would be great to confuse those Slytherin prats with."
"What did you say?" Jennifer asked eagerly.
"I just said, 'I think Hogwarts is going to be a lot nicer than Beuxbatons, as we get to speak our first language English more often and the people seem a lot nicer, well apart from Slytherin house'."
"Too true," Sirius said rather seriously picking up his goblet. "But I propose we hold a toast for our beauxbaton buddies. Welcome to Hogwarts and the time of your lives!"
