Part Thirteen:
The great hall was a hive of activity, people sat round the large house tables. Eating breakfast and waiting eagerly for the owl post. A dull roar of a hundreds or more owls flapping their wings sounded throughout the hall. Harry glanced over to see that his father's owl was perched in front of Sev. He watched Sev's face intently as he opened the letter, a worried looked passed over his face. And his eyes flicked up trying to seek out Harry. Their eyes locked for a moment before turning back to their own friends. Harry felt safe in he knowledge that his love would indeed do everything in his power to help.
"Jamie. What's wrong? You have been acting all spaced." Si asked. Reme nodded as if to say that he to was worried. Harry gave them his best smile.
"Nothing's wrong. I am just thinking." He smirked mischievously.
"Oooo tell us more." They both chorused. Harry put on his best dejected look.
"Well actually there is nothing to tell, I 'was' interrupted after all." His two friends faces fell. "I guess we will just have to come up with something together then." Reme and Si wore twin looks of mischievousness. The three sat in silence thinking up a new prank. Well at least two of them were. The third was wondering how he was going to get Sev's reply.
At the end of breakfast the trio got up and left the Great Hall. Sev following closely on his heels.
"James." Severus sneered. Harry whirled to see Sev standing behind him. "I know it was you who turned our common room red." 'So that's what the others had been doing while I was away.'
"I don't know what you are talking about. You git." Harry replied. Knowing all to well that they had to play up the animosity between them, no one could realise that something was untoward. Harry hadn't expected what happened next. Sev swung a punch at him. Soon it had degraded to fell on brawl between the two boys. But Harry couldn't help but relish the fact that he could lay his hands on Sev even if it was in this context.
"My room midnight, password Grifindor." Sev hissed into his ear, so that no one could hear, or if they could hear they couldn't understand. Harry nodded almost un noticeably.
Harry felt hands on his shoulders; Remus was pulling him off of Sev. Harry got to his feet and shook off Reme's hands and glared at Sev who had also got to his feet.
"You think this is over slime ball." Harry shouted. Sev sneered.
"No Grifindork, this is far from over. I swear I will make you pay for this."
"Boys!" A shrill voice called. Mcgonigal had just entered the corridor. "What do you think you are doing?" The guilty pair stood frozen. "Mr Potter, Mr Snape. Follow me. Now." The two of the followed her without a word.
************************
Professor Mcgonigal looked at the two boys sitting in front of her. She had always wondered why there was such animosity between the two. They were in rival houses but somehow they had managed to make it a personal battle.
"Now boys what was that fight all about?" She asked coldly. Both boys fidgeted uncomfortable in their seats refusing to answer. 'Now that's new' she thought. Normally they were both incredibly keen to blame the other.
"I don't have all day." She added.
"Do I need a reason? He is a Slytherin. Its all the reason I need." Harry stated adding a mental apology to his love. That seemed to set the ball rolling and insults were flying back and forth between the two boys. But the insults meant nothing to them, if anything they seemed to be taken as terms of endearment. They were like promises, promises of what could be between them.
"Boys!" The professor howled. They both stopped mid insult and there mouths snapped shut in unison. Harry looked at her apologetically, while Sev just wore his usual sullen mask. "I have had enough of your constant bickering. I will talk to Professor Aquilina about this and we will work an adequate punishment for you both. You may leave now."
The two boys breathed a sigh of relief and bolted from that room quicker than anyone had seen them move before.

"We have to use tried and tested band of Marauder mischief. Can't let the family down can I. I am sure Si would love to help us get our own back on the twins." James told Ron. Ron's eyes lit up.
"Our very own Marauder." He almost squealed in delight. James smiled if only he knew that here were really two marauders for the price of one. James smirked if the whole school knew that they were in the presence of two Marauders they would fall at their feet. James' eyes darkened, he remembered what was about to happen to him. If they knew he stood up to Voldemort that was what they would worship him for. 'To know just how and when you were going to die really is a bitch' he thought bitterly.
James led the way to Si's hidden quarters in the castle. The door opened to James' whispered command. Si looked at the intruders and smiled broadly.
"We need your help. Marauder mischief to be precise." James smirked at his best friend. Si's smiled broadened.
"Just tell me the victim and I will do my best."
"Fred and George Weasly."
"Well I have just the thing. They will know what it feels like to be on the receiving end of Marauder Mischief."
***************
With two Marauders on the case a plan was quickly devised. Spiked pumpkin juice would do jut the trick. And what this pumpkin juice would do. Well it would turn the Weasly Twins into girls!
James and Ron watched the twins eagerly at dinner that night. So was sorely disappointed that he had to miss out on all the fun and games but it would have caused quite a stir if a wanted criminal arrived at dinner. James held his breath as simultaneously Fred and George took a sip of their pumpkin juice.
The effects were instantaneous and spectacular. Fred's ginger locks were now well down to his shoulders, his normally handsome face was that of a beautiful girl and lets just say he had breasts that ay self respecting girl would be proud of. George looked much the same with one exception he looked pregnant.
James burst into hysterical laughter at the two boys horrified expressions.
"So George who is the Lucky father?" he asked while gasping for breath. The Twin turned a ghastly shade of red. James earned a pointed look. George looked to all concerned about 7 months pregnant. 'Shit' he thought. 'That would have been about the same time as he was going out with my son.'
"This is not funny Potter." Fred growled.
"Au contraire. It is hilarious." James said smirking quickly regaining his composure. "But do not worry the spell will wear off in a couple of hours." James glanced at George. "The pregnancy should also become non existent as well. But I hope you have learned your lesson, unprotected sex is bad." James chided playfully, not caring to remember that his son had part in the act. George still looked as though he was going to be sick, which could very well be true. He was pregnant after all. James leaned closer to George. "I'm sorry." He whispered. "I didn't know this." Meaning the pregnancy "would happen." George smiled faintly.
"Don't worry about it. It is about time we got a taste of our medicines." James smiled in return. And all seemed well in Grifindor once again, except for the two female Weasly twins that is.
On the other side of the room, a Slytherin was glaring at the laughing Grifindor's. His thoughts filled with ways to make 'the boy who lived' pay. Pay for what had happened to his parents. Pay with his blood.
