A/N: I would like to thank my reviewers again:

Crystal,lily,james and Sirius: Thanks! It was really really fun to write too. I hope you like this chapter. It's not as funny, but still makes me laugh, at least.

Uptight: Ah, KT, do I really have to thank you? Just kidding;) I'm glad you didn't give me a flame like you threatened to in Science class yesterday! But you're right, I do need something better to do with my time. I'm already in the I-Have-No-Life-Club!

Anyway, here's chapter six: Another Prank and the Marauders Book When Harry and Sirius, exhausted but laughing reached the common room, Harry sat down to write a letter to Moony, Hermione, and Ron telling of their " adventure". They only escaped Snape because he didn't know the password that they had set earlier to Gryffindor Tower. It was, " Pink- Boxered Lady".

Dear Moony;

Hi! It's Harry. You'll never guess what Snuffles and I pulled off today. See, Sirius made me a full Marauder today, and my nickname is " Ashfeather". Can you guess my animal?

Anyway, we went to the dungeons, and we gave Snape a note saying, " This is a side affect of abandoning the use of shampoo. If you are in need of a bottle, please owl the I-Am-A-Slimy-Haired-Git-Who-Has-Never-Used-A-Bottle- Of-Shampoo-In-My-Life-But-I-Don't-Even-Have-A-Life company. We will sent you a note saying we don't care about slimy gits who don't have lives. If you get lucky, we will send you some pink boxers to go with the hair." You see, the note turned his hair pink. Later, we gave him another note.

"Thank you for owling the I-Am-A-Slimy-Haired-Git-Who-Has-Never-Used-A- Bottle-Of-Shampoo-In-My-Life-But-I-Don't-Even-Have-A-Life company. We regret to inform you that we don't care about slimy gits who don't take showers or have lives. However, we felt generous, so we decided to send you a gift to match you hair"

With that note, when he was done reading it, a spell made him wear nothing but pink-hearted boxers. Luckily, we escaped his wrath by the refuge of the Gryffindor Common room, and he doesn't know the password. He wouldn't even dare say it, if he did. It's

" Pink-Boxered Lady"

Sirius says Hi.

Harry Potter (Ashfeather) Ps. have you guessed my animal yet?

Ron, and Hermione, if you're there.

How are you? Dumbledore rescued me and I am staying at Hogwarts with Sirius. I now own a phoenix. Her name is Phoebe. Long story, but she was my mum's.

Anyway, Sirius made me an official Marauder, and you two can be too. But my nickname is Ashfire. I bet you can guess what my Animagi is. Actually, I am what we just named a multi Animagi. DON'T TELL ANYONE THOUGH. This could be helpful to me. The phoenix is my true Animagi form, but I can become any animal I want.

Oh! Sirius and I pulled a prank on Snape today. It's a long story, but we gave him rude notes, and turned his hair pink, and make him wear nothing but pink boxers with hearts on them. If you see him around, call him, " Pink Boxered Lady" behind his back.

Love,

Harry

Harry mailed the letters, still laughing. " Sirius, for our next prank, we can send him a sweater that says ' Foxy Grandpa'!"

" Kid, you're a genus! Let's go buy one at Diagon Alley. We can charm it to say that."

" In Gryffindor colors!" Harry interrupted.

Two hours later, the charmed package was ready.

" You know, Harry, we must add your pranks to the book. We can start a new chapter for the new marauders. I know Hermione and Ron will want to join. They just have to become Animagi."

Then next day, Dumbledore, Sirius, Harry, and Snape were eating breakfast. Snape was isolated, sitting as far as possible from the Marauders and throwing them evil glares. Suddenly, and owl arrived and landed in front of Snape. He opened the package attached cautiously, but failed to notice Sirius and Harry chocking on their food.

It was the sweater. The moment he opened it, it flew onto him, the words " Foxy Grandpa" flashing in scarlet and gold. Snape tried to yank if off, but was unable to. Then he noticed the note. Reluctantly, he read,

Hey, Foxy Grandpa!

We can't decide which name to call you, Foxy Grandpa or Pink Boxered Lady. Any suggestions?

Hugs and kisses Xoxoxoxoxo

Padfoot and Ashfeather Ps. Wash your hair! Don't you ever bathe?

Snape lunged. Padfoot and Ashfeather ran. Both had turned into their Animagi.

" Ah, so Potter's the phoenix. Who's the other bird?"

The phoenix flew in front of Snape and stuck its tongue out at him. Snape tried to grab it, but couldn't.

" Potter! Black! You are soo dead!" Snape chased them around the castle. They ran to Dumbledore's office. When he saw the three run in, he smiled.

" What seems to be the problem?"

" Those two should be expelled!" The dog and the phoenix stared innocently at Snape. Harry noticed Fawks.

" Harry Potter! What brings you here in animagus form?" Fawks asked.

" Well, Sirius and I sent Snape a sweater and he got mad. Don't know why though."Harry became human again

" What's wrong, Professor? Sirius and I sent you a sweater out of the kindness of our hearts, and then you got mad and chased us!"

" POT-TER! Tell me, who is Wizewing?"

Harry gave him an innocent look. " Whom?"

" That bloody owl you had with you yesterday!"

" Professor, I had a slight case of amnesia yesterday. Can you remind me what happened?"

Snape was oblivious to the fact that Harry was baiting him. " You, Black, and that owl went and turned my hair pink!"

" And?"

" And. nothing more!"

" Serveus, if I am to punish them, they need to have done more than that." Dumbledore said.

" You. you. alright! You. made me wear pink boxers with hearts on them!"

" I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you. what was that?"

" YOU MADE ME WEAR PINK BOXERS WITH HEARTS ON THEM!"

" Oh, now I remember! I also remember managing to get that on tape with my ominoculars! See?" Harry pulled out his recording of yesterday's events.

"POTTER!"

" Oops, look at the time! I'm late for. quidditch practice. So sorry, must go." Harry Apperated with a * pop * to the quidditch field, and summoned his broom,

" Oh, no you don't! Dumbledore, do you have any idea who the owl was?"

* Smirking * " Not a clue"

" Well, I'll just. wait a second, did Potter just Apperate on the school grounds?"

" Oh, yes." Dumbledore said as if it were an everyday thing.

" Dumbledore, that's impossible!"

" I know."

Snape blinked, and then ran out of the office, yelling, " NOTHING MAKES SENCE ANYMORE!"

Sirius and Dumbledore stared at each other, then burst out laughing.

Harry meanwhile, had gone back to the Gryffindor Common room, and was talking to Phoebe. " Did you hear of our pranks?"

" Oh, of course!" She smiled. " Shall I say, Ashfeather?"

" So, you haven't seen Fawks yet? He knows you're here. He saw you on the Marauder's Map."

" He did? What did he say?"

" He said, ' Phoebe's here?!'"

" Can I go see him, Harry?"

" Of course!" She flew off. Harry went down for dinner. Dumbledore and Sirius were there.

" Where's Professor Snape?"

" He. er. preferred to dine alone in his office." After laughing, they ate in silence.

" Harry, do you want to read more in the book today?" Sirius asked with a mouthful of sausage.

" Sure!" After breakfast, they retrieved the book and read the first chapter.

Chapter 1. Meet the Marauders.

Welcome to the life of Moony, Wormtail, (Sirius scowled) Padfoot, and Prongs. We will have a brief on each of the Marauders. There is a spell on this chapter so that we can tell you what we have done lately, and what we are doing right now. Please read the part on Prongs first. James! Sorry.
anyway, here it is.

Moony Hi! I am Moony. My real name is Remus Lupin. I go to Hogwarts, just like the others, and an in my 5th year. I am also a werewolf. Every full moon, I
go down to the Shrieking Shack to transform. When the other Marauders learned this, they became Animagi too. All of our nicknames have something
to do with what animal we can become.

Anyway, I am the top student in my classes, I hate Divination, and I. am drastically ugly! Sirius! I. have a booger falling out of my nose! James!
I. oh, never mind.

Wormtail

I am Wormtail, aka Peter Pettigrew. My animagus form is a rat. I am the one who touches the know under the Whomping Willow when we go to Hogsmeade. I. am fat and ugly! Sirius! Back to the matter at hand. I am especially good at Transfiguration. McGonagall hates me though. don't know why. but, that's
pretty much it. Yeah, Peter's pretty boring! James!

Padfoot

Hey, what's up? I'm Padfoot, or Sirius Black. You remember that name, now. yeah, someday, you'll be a famous criminal who's going escape Azkaban to
save my godson and the very name will terrify people! James! Back to my life, which I am sure so many wish they had. *snort* Yeah right, Padfoot!
I am adored my many females, and I am the most popular kid in school. * Everyone in background is howling with laughter* Sure, Padfoot, sure. I am
extremely hot, and . very bigheaded! I know. wait a second.?

Prongs

I'm Prongs, or James, or the Chaser on the Gryffindor Quidditch team, or the cool kid, or the guy Lil really seems to like for some strange reason. ok! We get the Idea! Er. yeah, anyway, my girlfriend is Lily, I.er. founded the Marauders, I'm a teacher's pet, I get more detentions than Snape has grease on his head, and my animagus form is a Stag. hence the 'Prongs'. I
am really cool; so don't be afraid if you are blinded by my coolness.
James! Sorry, Lil. anyway, I get into trouble for sneaking around the castle a whole lot, but I get good grades, and I can usually butter up the professors, so I don't get as many detentions as I really should. I believe
the current count is 369.

Anyway, you can see us if you really want. Though I don't know why you would want to see James. Hey! Just touch the red dot on the book with the tip of your wand and say the code for the map. If you don't know what that
is, then you can't see us, and you are snooping, and why would you have this book anyway? I know why, because James is too lazy to put it back in
the room! Grr. anyway, try it if you know the password.

There was a small red circle on the page. Harry looked up at Sirius. " Go ahead, if you want to, that is. I think." But Harry had already taken out his wand and said, " I solemnly swear that I am up to no good!" and gently taped the wand with the red dot.

Immeadtly, Harry felt a pull, not unlike the feeling of going back into a memory, like he had done in his second year with Tom Riddle's diary. He knew that the Marauders would not be able to see or hear him, but Sirius would still. A second later, Harry and Sirius found themselves in the Gryffindor common room, 30 years ago. Only, the Marauders were staring at the two from the future, although they couldn't see them.

Pettigrew looked warily at the empty space, and then said, " If you are here right now, you must have been reading the book and you went back in time to come and see us."

" And we are flattered!" Sirius (younger) inturrepted. The older Sirius chuckled. " I remember this!"

James took over. " If you are from the future, you may be future marauders. If you are, then we bestow upon you this book, which will tell you everything you need to know about how to pull pranks, annoy Snape, curse Malfoy, and not get caught."

" Hey, Prongs, we should publish the book. We could call it, " This book, which will tell you everything you need to know about how to pull pranks, annoy Snape, curse Malfoy, and not get caught!"

" Ver-ry Original, Padfoot" Remus muttered.

" Yes, well, anyway, if it is one of us from the future there, then we would like to say, ' Hi! One of us is your younger self."

"Yeah, don't we look really young? Compared to how old you look now, Sirius?"

" Why do you say Sirius, James?"

" Somehow, I just know that Sirius and a friend are going to be watching this, 20, maybe 30 years from now. Sirius and some guy named, . oh, I don't know." James answered.

" Why don't you just ask Trelawney?"

" Ah, the energy forces around my head full of air inform me that it some guy named." Remus said in a misty voice.

" Harry!" Lily Evans bounced down the stairs.

" Harry? Why Harry?" James asked.

" I don't know, I just always liked the name Harry. If I ever have a child, that's what I'll name it."

" Even if it's a girl?" Sirius asked.

Lily smiled mischievously. " Yup!"

James sighed. " Alright, on with the guests from the future. anyway, we can't see you, but you can see us, so you can tell how different we are from the future. in the book, on one of the pages, ."

" One of the pages, Prongs? They'll be sure to find that in a second!" Sirius said.

" Fine, hand me the book, Wormtail. Page. 16, you will be able to talk to us. well, write to us. like on the map, we will respond as Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs. You'll see. Just write what ever you want." Harry looked up at older Sirius, who was gazing at his younger self and friends. " Do you want to, Harry?"

Harry thought. This would be the only chance in his life to talk to his dad. Did he want to? Of course, this would be very emotional too. " Yes. How do we get-"?

Harry's dad spoke again. "Anyway, if you are from the future, say hi to my son for me, and hi to me too. If you want to get out, just tap your wand and say, Reversio! If not, than you will see the daily life of a marauder."

" Reversio!" Harry said. He silently said goodbye to his dad.

" Good by, Sirius!" James said.

" And Harry!" Lily said. Sirius (future) looked sadly at Harry, who was looking astonished that they had said goodbye to them. Then, he and Harry felt a pull at them, and they returned to the present.

" Well, Harry, I'm.er.going to. go to the library. See you later." Sirius and Harry both knew that Sirius only left so that Harry could be alone with his dad. Harry turned to page 16, which was in the chapter 3, tracking the Marauders. It said:

Ok, we know that everybody loves the Marauders, and we love you too *sniffle*, so now, you can talk to us! Well, ok, Moony, write to us. Just write something on page 17, and we will answer. Oh, but you first have to put the Marauder's password. By now, you should know that. See ya, or write
ya, later.

Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs

On the next page was nothing. Harry immeadtly wrote,

I solemnly swear I am up to no good

As soon as he wrote it, words appeared.
Mr. Prongs asks :Who is this? Marauder or foe?

Well, neither. You see, I am the son of a marauder. Sirius had me go through all of the promices to become a marauder, so technically, I am one,
but from the future.

Wormtail replies: Is Sirius your dad?

* Laughs* No, my father is James Potter, or Prongs.
* silence*

Mr. Prongs asks : Are you really. my son?

Yes.

Mr. Moony says : Cool, James! Who's your mum?

Mr. Padfoot adds : It wouldn't be by any chance Lily Evans, would it?

* Grins* Yup!

Messurs Moony, Wormtail, and Padfoot: AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH! We knew it!

Mr. Prongs asks: So,. son. tell me about. you.

Well, I look extremely like you, I am currently going into the 5th year at
Hogwarts, and it is summer right now.

Mr. Moony interrupts :I hope you don't have James's mind, too!

Mr. Padfoot adds: What mind?

Well, my potions teacher, whom I'm sure all of you know, Professor Snape, says that I am exactly like you, Dad. "the rules were below perfect Potter!
He was so bigheaded just because he could play quidditch."

* silence *

Mr. Prongs clarifies : Wait a second, SNAPE is your teacher?

Yes, and he hates me, and he hated you too?

Mr. Padfoot says : hated? What do you mean by that? James didn't save his
life or something, did he?

Er. no. well, if I tell you, you might get. nevermind. But, yes, he is my
teacher, and he is really awful to me.

Mr. Moony asks : Where are we right now?

Er.. well, you were my DADA teacher 2 years ago. You left because Snape let everyone know that you were a werewolf. Sirius, you're. an escaped convict.
You went to Azkaban without a trial for something you didn't do. And.

Mr. Padfoot wants to know : What do they think I did? And what about
Wormtail and Prongs?

Er. well, they say that you did two things, 1, blast apart a street full of
muggles killing 13 people, and 2, well, you're not going to like it.

Mr. Padfoot says : But I didn't do it, right?

Yeah, but can I ask something? Does anything I write here. change the past
or future?

Mr. Moony says : No. We cannot affect the past. We couldn't read what has been written here. All we have done is put some of our personalities into this book, so that we can write to someone. Our real selves don't know what
is being said.

Oh. Well, I don't know if I should say.

Misters Padfoot and Prongs insist : Tell us! Tell us!

Ok.
.
.
.
.
All of the Marauders : Well?

All right. You see, Prongs is dead. Wormtail joined sides with Voldemort
and killed him. Wormtail was made the secret keeper for the Potters on Padfoot's insistence. So, when Voldemort came and killed my mum and dad,
everyone thought Sirius had tipped him off. Sirius cornered Wormtail shortly after that, and Wormtail lied, " Lily and James, Sirius! How could you?" And then, Wormtail blast apart the street , turned into a rat, and
fled down the sewers, making it look like Padfoot had done it. Well, Wormtail caught up with Voldemort, and he helped him come back to power.
Now he's back, and basically, I am the one who is expected to save the
Wizarding world of his wrath.

* silence*
.
.
.
.
.
Well?

Mr. Padfoot : Wormtail, you idiot! How could you? Betray James and Lily
like that? And put the blame on me?

Mr. Prongs asks: Umm. wow! But what do you mean, back to power? He was
already in power? And what happened to you the night I. died?

Well, because of a spell my mum put one me, and because of my blood, I survived. Voldemort's spell backfired, and he. just existed with out any body or powers. A month ago.he came back, using a potion that includes a
foe's blood and a servant's flesh. The foe was of course me, and the
servant Wormtail. He came back, and I just escaped death.

Mr. Moony says : Er..o-k. So, I am a teacher, Sirius is an escaped
murdered, Wormtail is a traitor, and James is . dead.

That about sums it up.

Mr. Wormtail : Um. I'm going to bed.

Mr. Prongs : Now wait just a second, Peter. I think we need to have a
little talk.

I'm going to go now. I'll come back later.

Mr. Padfoot: Good idea. Visit us again.

Sure. Bye!

Harry left before his father and Wormtail fought. When he looked up, Phoebe was on his shoulder, looking sadly at the book. " I remember that." She sang. " James used to always talk about it."

Harry stroked Phoebe. "So, Phoebe, how was Fawks?"

She blushed pink. " Er. fine."

" And.?"

" Well, if you must know, it was. very uncomfortable. He said hi, and we talked about the weather and stuff, and. he told me to come by again." Harry smiled in a knowing way.

" I see. You both like each other. It's obvious, you know. How about I just send a letter to Dumbledore and get you to take it to his office."

" No! Please don't! Lily used to say that all the time!" Harry laughed and gave her a loving look. " I won't, Phoebe."

She sang gratefully. " But if Dumbledore sends Fawks here."

" He'd better not!"

" I'll tell him that it would be best if he didn't." Harry turned into a Phoenix. " You know, I like being able to fly, and heal people with tears, and carry heavy loads."

Phoebe laughed. " You haven't had to carry a load yet, have you?"

" No, does it hurt?"

" Quite the contrary! It feels wonderful!" Harry started to say something, but he stopped. He thrashed his wings, and looked like he was in pain. " Harry Potter, what is the matter?" The boy, with some difficulty, turned back to a human, and passed out on the cold floor.

A/N: Oh, No! A cliff hanger! I'm really not that good at writing cliff hangers, am I? Oh, well. Pleeze review, and I'll mention you in the next chapter!
