A/n- Yup. I own Makenzie and her mother. Thats all.

Chapter two~~ Discussion

"Come on! Hurry UP!" Sirius whispered to Peter, who was falling behind. It was midnight. Makenzie had no idea any of this was happening. She was sleeping peacefully in her room.

But Sirius, Peter, and James all were running through secret passages. They were under the invisibility cloak, but Peter wasnt running at all, so it was revealing him. Remus was out as a wearwolf, at the 'Shriek Shack'. The other three Maruders were on their way to visit him. The Shriek Shack dubbed its name from the screams Remus made when he transformed. Anyway.

"Okay....animagus form.." James mumbled. The three of them changed, leaving the invisibility cloak hidden in the passage. They turned the corner, and there sat Remus, in wearwolf form, waiting for them.

-What took you so long?- Remus asked in his animal voice. To regular people, it would sound like growling.

-Wormtail was slowing us down!- Sirius exclaimed, grinning with his doggy face.

-Hey, its not MY fault if Im not super fast!- Squeaked Peter.

-You guys, lets just prowl around!- James snorted, trotting off. The other three followed.

Hours and hours they ran around the ground of Hogwarts. They had prowled around so many times, they had found three secret passages. One of them, of course, was where James, Sirius, and Peter had come out.

The three of them eventually turned normal, and headed back up to their dorms, with the cover of the cloak.

"We only have a bit more to write..." Peter said longingly, looking at an old piece of parchment on the nightstand in their room.

"True. But we need Remus for it. So lets get some sleep." James said. They did as told.

A few days had passed, and Remus returned, claiming to Makenzie he had felt ill.

"Well, Remus, ever since we have met, you see to be ill at least once a month! You really should see the school's nurse sometime for some treatment!" Makenzie exclaimed.

"Trust me, I have..." Remus muttered quietly. The five of them walked into the Great Hall, and sat, to talk and study a bit.

"Who is that?" Makenzie asked them. A girl, who looked their age, was walking with Severus. She was very pale, and had long, blonde, hair. The two of them were leaving the Great Hall, and kept looking around, to make sure no one else saw them. They didnt notice the Maruders and Makenzie. They looked VERY suspicious.

"Should we..?" James asked, smirking.

"Why not?" Sirius said happily. The five of them followed silently after them. They continued walking, towards the Slytherin end of the school. Severus and the girl stopped.

"Mystina. Are you sure when you turn eighteen you want to do this?" Severus asked, keeping a stern look on his face.

The girl, Mystina, said, "Im positive Severus. As long as you, Lucius, Crabbe, and Goyle also will. I know who I want to serve. Are you sure you know?"

"Me and Lucius have made our minds up about this long ago, when he first started coming into power. The bumbling baffoons Crabbe and Goyle, well, lets just say they can find their own path." Severus said, glaring a bit. The Maruders and Makenzie glanced at each other. They silently left, and went to their tower.

**

"Absolutely amazing. A girl actually would talk to Severus without being payed to!" Sirius cracked, laughing. Remus joined him, and Peter squeaked his laughs.

"This isnt funny. Its serious. Obviously, we all know, the one thing all Slytherins want to be when they turn eighteen." James said. Sirius, Makenize, and Remus nodded. But Peter looked lost.

"They want to be Deatheaters." Sirius said to Peter, rolling his eyes.

"And, it seems Severus and Lucius have already decided to be one. And this girl, Mystina, obviously wants to be one as well. This Voldemort guy, well, he is getting very powerful. He has killed a lot of students of other schools. I heard Dumbledore was getting worried about attacks HERE. Now, we all know, even if we dont want to admit it, Lucius is VERY poweful. Severus is too. If they join him, it will be really hard to defend innocent lives." James said.

"Almost of the students who were attacked were Muggle-borns." Remus said.

"A lot of them were mainly non pure-bloods." Peter squeaked. Makenzie stared at the floor. Non pure-bloods. She was a half-blood. And if Dumbledore was getting worried about the schools safety....

"But dont worry, everyone says that this Voldemort guy fears Dumbledore in many ways. Which is odd, I mean, I dont think they have really met....." Sirius trailed off.

"Do you think that there are students here who are already following this great and powerful guy?" Makenzie asked.

"I think very much so." James said.

"Well...right now, all we can do is hope he doesnt come here. I mean, theres so many non pure-bloods. And I read in the Daily Prophet that there has been many muggle deaths already from this guy and his followers." Sirius said.

"Should I ask Dumbledore what the non pure-bloods should do to keep us safer?" Makenzie asked.

"That would be a good idea!" Remus exclaimed. The whole time while the four of them were having this conversation about Voldemort coming into power, and having many many followers, Peter had kept quiet. He nervously fidgeted a lot, too.

"Did you know what I heard Professor McGonagall talking to Professor Flitwick about? Well, I heard them saying this Voldemort guy is so powerful, he has talked dementors and giants into joining him." Sirius mumbled quietly to them.

"But...giants are highly feared creatures! They dont let anyone be their boss!" Makenzie exclaimed.

"They do now." James said, sighing.

a/n- ...is it good? I know its short, but its not going to be a long story, not nearly as long as Sacred Legend. This is just the backup, to help make Sacred Legend..make more sense. Then the sequel will follow this...anyway! Im hoping that this will being to make sense, eventually! So far, you have been introduced to Makenzie, and the Maruders, and pretty soon Lucius will notice Makenzie in a different aspect. (remember...its a given they will fall in love!)
