The doors banged open. Two arguing people entered. One was hooded in a red
and gold Gryffindor colored cloak over his school clothes. The robes and
cloak swirled around him as though by an unseen wind and his face was
cloaked in shadow, giving him an eerie, powerful look. Uh-oh, and he was in
Gryffindor? James shuddered. The other didn't look anywhere near as spooky.
He had silver blonde hair hanging around his face and pale skin. He was
wearing the normal school clothes, though he happened to be soaking wet at
the moment.
"Look I'm sorry if I hurt you too much." Said the cloaked one in a strangely un-evil voice. "But you know not to do that! For Merlin's sake!"
"There was no reason to blast me into the lake! I think you need to see one of them Muggle people that talk to people about their problems." The other said, smirking.
"No I don't! It's not my fault I'm not exactly Moldy Voldie's favorite person at the moment!" The cloaked one said exasperatedly and James mouth hung open. He could talk about You-know-who with such ease?
The two of them kept up their argument and seemingly didn't notice anyone in the Great Hall as they went straight out the door on the opposite side of the Hall they came in on.
There was silence for about four minutes and then everyone started whispering at once. James noticed Professor Little's eyebrows were up somewhere near his hairline as he stared open-mouthed at the door the two just left in.
The sound of running footsteps made everyone stop talking again and the same door burst open, in came the two new people striding back in again, the blonde one had a pink tinge to his cheeks and the other you couldn't tell because his face was still shadowed.
The two walked over to the Gryffindor table and sat down at the end. As they walked past the Marauders James noticed that the cloaked boys hands, that were no longer in his pockets, were covered in scars. How odd.
Once the two sat down Dumbledore repeated. "Would Draco and Harry please stand up?"
"Huh?" The blonde haired guy said looking up at the same time the cloaked guy said, "Pardon?" They stood up. "I'm Draco. And this is Harry." The blonde guy said gesturing to himself then the cloaked guy before sitting down and roughly pulling Harry with him as they continued their argument in whispers.
"OK. Let the feast begin." Dumbledore said and sat down next to the hysterical DADA teacher, he was laughing so hard he was crying.
"How weird is the Harry guy." Remus said. "Did you see all those scars on his hands?"
"I did." James said in a quiet voice as Sirius and Peter shook their heads. "They were marred, the whole hand, with scars."
"Yeah, and did you notice how his robes just fly about him? I wonder if it's a spell. I tell you what, if it is it's a bloody intimidating one." Remus muttered.
"Mmm. Did you feel the power radiating from him? And the way he talked about you-know-who, just calling him Moldy Voldie." Sirius said. Peter shuddered.
"He freaks me out."
"Want to go and talk to them?" Asked James, he was rather curious about this Harry guy, and Draco at that, they seemed different for some reason.
The others nodded and they all moved to the end of the Gryffindor table where the two boys were sitting, now eating in silence.
"Hello. I'm James Potter." James said, he first stuck his hand out for Draco, but was rather distracted when Harry fell off his chair and stopped moving. "Oh dear, what did I do?"
"I wouldn't worry." Draco said in a tone that clearly said 'leave him there.' "Heart of a Lion he's got."
"Is something wrong with Mr. Granger, Mr. Granger?" Asked Professor Little, smirking at the name but looking concerned at the boy on the floor who had started twitching and convulsing.
"Hmm. I think something may be wrong actually." Professor Little and Draco got out of their seats and bent over Harry, blocking his face from view to James, Sirius and Peter, Remus who was on the other side though, had a clear view as Harry hood was taken off.
He started to stutter and gasped in surprise as he pointed a shaky finger at Harry's face that was still obscured from their view.
"W-w-what hap-happened to h-him?" It was odd seeing Remus stutter; he was usually very well collected and calm.
Professor Little and Draco quickly covered his face and looked up at Remus. One of them seemingly mouthed something as Remus nodded in response.
Harry started shaking.
"Alright people," Little said to all those in the hall, they had been gathered around Harry.
~*~
'Come on Harry, get up.' Tom said as Harry felt himself start to shake, he wasn't sure whether it was in his dream or real life. For some reason his fathers name had made him faint, then a memory had come, a terrible memory that he wished he could forget forever.
Harry was tied up against a bloodstained wall, his hands were tied with magical bonds to stop him from doing wandless magic and Voldemort's face leered in front of him.
"Potter, will you give in yet?" He hissed.
"I-I'll never give in to you, Riddle." Harry said back, just a venomously as Voldemort had. Voldemort glared at him.
"How many times must I tell you not to call me that?!" He hissed. "Crucio!"
Harry fell limp, then he tensed, as Voldemort cackled mercilessly. Harry remembered being determined not to scream, he felt like he had to now though, the pain came back twice as hard.
He didn't scream though, not yet. There was one more thing he knew would come, one more thing he didn't want to come, but he knew it would.
While Voldemort held the curse on Harry, Lucius Malfoy, on Voldemort's orders, came up to Harry, wand pointed at his jawbone.
Harry glared up at him. "Well Potter, my turn for some revenge, turn my own son on me!" He muttered a curse that Harry still didn't know, and started carving a jagged line right across his left jawbone.
Harry couldn't help it, he let out a blood curdling scream, even if his real self hadn't when he'd been there, he did now. The scream even made his own ears temporarily deaf.
A golden and crimson light flashed across his vision and he sat up, eye's scared.
~*~
James stared at the cloaked boy on the floor. Everyone had moved back from him at Little's request, but he didn't stop shaking.
"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
The Marauders all looked at Harry as they clapped their hands on their ears along with the rest of the school.
He was screaming, it wasn't so much as a pained scream, something else . like a horrible nightmare that wouldn't go away.
Then the whole Hall was filled with light, crimson and gold, temporarily blinding those around it.
Harry was sitting straight up, his eyes couldn't be seen through his hood which had managed to stay up the whole time.
After a few moments of silence the boy stood and ever so slowly walked towards Little who was also walking towards Harry.
"Ah crap Sirius, my head hurts." He said, addressing Little. James looked at Sirius who looked bewildered.
"Harry sshh" Little said in a quiet voice.
"Alrighty then." Harry said, rather cheerfully truth be told. "What's everyone looking at?" He asked in a slightly dazed voice as the teachers drifted to the staff table and students started to go back.
"Nothing dear cousin." The Marauders heard Draco hiss at Harry. How very odd. he didn't seem to like him much, did he?
The Marauders decided that maybe this wasn't the time to get to know the new students after all. The sat away from them, up the other end of the table and couldn't help but notice everyone atleast once giving the Granger's odd looks.
Madame Pomfrey had arrived about five minutes later, seemingly looking to find out who was hurt. Dumbledore shook his head up at the staff table and chuckled, then Pomfrey left looking very put-out indeed. Madame Pomfrey was the new Matron, they had got her two years ago and she was a young, good- looking witch.
"Alright everyone. Bed Time." Dumbledore said after the plates and tables had cleared. James and Lily Evans, the Gryffindor Prefects along with Remus Lupin and Arrabella Figg, lead the Gryffindor's to their dorms before settling in bed themselves. James was thinking to himself 'I really wanna know what that Harry's been up to.'
