Once again Harry landed on his feet while the other two hit the ground with a thump, but this time it was in the infirmary rather than outside on the Hogwarts grounds. Aliandra was sitting cross- legged on the bed; Lily was sitting in the chair next to her and scattered around the room in different chairs were the Marauders.

"Oh god, your awake" Sirius muttered, still obviously half asleep

"Its nice to see you too," Aliandra said rolling her eyes.

"Who's awake?" James muttered sleepily. "Oh man, does he have to snore so loudly,"

"How exactly do you sleep with him in your room?" Lily asked looking at Peter.

"We usually put a silencing charm on him then take it up before he gets up" came another voice that caused Aliandra and Lily to jump.

"Morning Remus" James said sleepily

"Morning, why are we up?" Remus asked yawning before glancing at his watch.

"Peters fault" Sirius said stretching, "I can't believe Madam Pomfrey let us all stay in here. If it had been me or James in that bed she would have kicked everyone out in a matter of seconds"

"Oh Aliandra's awake" Remus said suddenly

"Your so smart in the mornings Remus," James said sarcastically

~~~~

Harry stared at his dad. It was almost as if he was looking in a mirror, they weren't kidding when they said he looked like his father.

~~~~

"Now we just have to wait for Peter to wake up and we can do something interesting" James said a mischevious grin appearing on his handsome face.

"Peter wouldn't wake up if Hogwarts was collapsing, so don't get your hopes to high" Remus said shaking his head at peter who was still snoring reguardless of the noise around him.

"So why exactly are all of you in here?" Aliandra asked looking especially at Remus and Sirius, and well Peter but he didn't count as he was asleep.

"To see you," Lily answered as though it was obvious with a small smile on her face.

"Dad told me to stay with you" James explained "I dunno, I think he thinks I'm going to crack because of m... Well and, he er- kinda decided that if I was waiting for you I- I'd err have some purpose?"

"Got dragged along by James " Sirius said shortly looking out the window

"Ditto" Remus said shrugging. The blonde girl nodded, almost as if she didn't really care that they were all in there, but more that she needed the explanations to make the world seem sane again.

"Are you okay Ali?" Lily asked concerned at the dazed look her friends face held as she nodded.

"Yeah just dandy, I only got hit with a beaters club, nothing that could cause any sort of damage," Aliandra answered shaking her head at her best friend. "What a stupid question"

"You know you should really wake up Madam Pomfrey and ask for the potion." James said slowly looking at his "sister" carefully. Aliandra rolled up her shirt to where her ribs started. Her thin stomach was covered in dark purple and blue bruises, but while Lily started at the sight moving her hand to her mouth in shock Ali just scrunched up her nose and shook her head.

"Ouch" squeaked Peter making everyone in the room jump in fright as the voice interrupted the silence

"Peter your awake" James cried slightly shocked

"Silence" Sirius said "I believe it is most definitely time to go back to sleep"

"Oh no you don't, we have to do something! There is a serious situation at this school right now, and we as magical mischief makers have to do something about it!" James said looking directly at Aliandra

"Along what lines are you thinking here James?" Ali asked slightly confused at her "brother's" attention being focused on her.

"Were going to throw the biggest party that Hogwarts has ever seen!" He cried grinning widely at his "sister" who grinned back.

"Right Now??" Lily asked sarcastically thinking that not even James was stupid enough to...

"Yep, right now" James replied and Lily's mouth dropped open,

"You kidding" She said slowly.

"Okay, I think I get the idea," Sirius said "And I think it will work well."

"Yeah, we should be able to pull this one off pretty well" Aliandra said thinking out the idea and the planning behind it that would be necessary.

"Hold on a minute, Ali you shouldn't even be leaving that bed let alone going along with the craziest thing that I've heard escape your "brother's" mouth." Lily cried

"What!" Aliandra exclaimed staring at Lily. "You can't possibly tell me that I can not be part of the most brilliant idea that I've heard escape my "brother's" mouth."

"Ali, were you and I just looking at the same bruising..."

"What! I'm fine, really" Aliandra interrupted but winced as Lily poked her in the ribs. "Hey! Don't do that!"

"I thought you said you were fine" Lily said accusingly

"Okay, I'm a bit bruised, but fine, and if I wake up Pomfrey, we won't be able to go through with our plans."

"Ali, you said yourself in the dia... I mean before, that before you do anything stupid, you have to get the potion."

"Yeah, I did say before I did anything stupid, but this does not come under the definition of stupid, it comes under the definition of good for all Hogwarts students"

"I didn't know there were definitions for things longer than one word," Sirius said raising an eyebrow.

Ali glared at him "Shut up Sirius" She said through clenched teeth and then scolded herself as Sirius noted grinned at her, she called him by his first name. She turned to Lily "Please Lily, as soon as we've arranged everything and as soon as we have everyone up and at the party, I'll go to Pomfrey I promise" Aliandra pleaded

"She's not your mother" Remus said looking at the pair.

Both Lily and Ali rolled their eyes "You don't say" Ali answered, "The problem is she is worse than any mother I've ever had..."

"Thanks Aliandra, I really appreciate that!" She said sarcastically. Although before Aliandra could retaliate James cleared his throat loudly.

"Seriously, you two are worse than me and Sirius!" He cried annoyed. "Lily I'm sure if she believes she's up to it, she's up to it and Ali she's really only looking out for you,"

"Woah you sounded so much like Remus then it was scary" Sirius said while Peter and Remus nodded silently in agreement.

"Bit of a hypocrite aren't you James?" Aliandra said "I remember you and Sirius having an argument..."

James just shook his head and Lily sighed. "You promise that as soon..." She said carefully looking at her best friend

"I promise I promise!!" Aliandra cried

Lily smiled "All right then, so what's the plan..."

"Yes!" She cried jumping off the bed. "Let's do this!"

~~~~

Harry, Hermione and Ron looked around the great hall; Lily, Aliandra, Lily and the Marauders had done an amazing job at decorating. The symbols of each house had been magicked onto each wall with the respective animals moving around the symbol carefully. Ali had told the fairies to fill the room and they danced around the candles in pink, green, yellow, and blue flashes of light. The food on the tables looked wonderful, and Harry was suddenly wishing that they could eat it.

~~~~

"How'd you get the food?" Lily asked Sirius amazed at all the food that sat on the tables.

"Easy actually, I went to the house elves and said, 'I need a lot of food, like to feed the entire school' and they replied, 'sure, we'll have it ready in no time'"

Lily gave him a look of disbelief and shook her head at him. "Good Old House Elves" Aliandra said to the redhead grinning causing Lily to nearly fall over in shock.

"You means he's Serious"

"Of course I'm Sirius"

"No I mean..."

"House Elves like doing things like that, they enjoy it" Remus said shortly before there was a big debate about the meaning of Sirius... it was way too early to be having a Sirius/Serious debate of any kind.

"They enjoy being slaves" Lily asked in disbelief.

"I suppose that's one way to put it, but I wouldn't call them slaves, because well they live to serve their masters" Sirius said

"Or mistresses" Aliandra added.

"Anyway are we ready?" Sirius asked his best friend,

"Well I think we have everything" James said

"Apart from the people" Aliandra noted

"Don't worry, we sent the fireworks up" Sirius grinned

"WHAT!" Lily exclaimed

"I sent fireworks into each and every dormitory in this castle, as soon as it explodes it drags everyone down here" And soon the Hall was filled with people. Everyone was laughing, eating or dancing, in general everyone looked happy, even the Slytherins were smiling.

~~~~

Harry watched his parents flirt shyly.

~~~~

"You know, they couldn't be any more obvious at what their doing" Sirius said raising an eyebrow.

"Yeah I know, but I have to admit, I would have more to tease her about if they danced, and they would make a cute couple." Aliandra said

"You're a strange girl," Sirius noted looking at the blonde girl next to him carefully.

"So I've been told," Aliandra laughed and looked up into his eyes. Then all of a sudden Aliandra looked very sick her arms automatically moved to her stomach and she swayed in pain.

"You should go and get that potion," Sirius said, grabbing Aliandra's arm to steady her.

Aliandra nodded, they walked towards the door and they were standing just away from it when the doors flew open, almost smashing into Aliandra and Sirius. Professor McGonagall, Professor Dreadre and Professor Dumbledore stood in front of them looking surprised, annoyed and amazed respectively. "We should of known it was you" Dreadre said looking directly at Aliandra

"Yeah, I..." and she collapsed straight into Sirius's arms.

~~~~

"I think its time you three were in bed" Came a voice from behind them and Harry, Hermione and Ron spun around fast. Facing them was Aliandra who had a small smile on her face. "Come" she whispered some how pulling them out of the memory.

* * *

For once, all of them landed standing and the three were sure that it had something to do with the fact that they'd been pulled out of the memory rather than letting it end as it normally would. The group remained silent for a moment.

"Aliandra" Hermione whispered guiltily as though she had just been caught spying, which in a way she had.

"Hello" The woman laughed gently. Her sapphire blue eyes sparkled magically; "So you found the diary,"

"Yeah, Hermione did," Ron said he stopped; she didn't seem to be listening

She picked up the book and flicked through the pages, "So many memories," she whispered so quietly it was almost as if she was talking to herself.

"Aliandra, Dumbledore need's to see you" Sirius said entering the door, he looked as though he was about to say something but stopped as his eyes fell on Harry, Ron and Hermione. Aliandra turned and looked at him, their expressions were the same, sad and questioning. Aliandra looked back at the diary in her hands.

"Keep it safe," she said after a few seconds of silence, handing the book to Harry who nodded. Aliandra and Sirius left in what seemed like one swift movement.

"Do you two get the feeling that we missed something really important in that moment?" Ron asked. Harry and Hermione nodded thoughtfully in reply. "Well now what?" Ron asked.

"Well, we can either continue reading... or I suppose we could follow Sirius and Aliandra." Harry suggested looking at the others.

"I don't know, I mean what if Sirius was just using Dumbledore as an excuse to talk to her, then we will be invading their privacy." Hermione said slowly.

"Coming from the person who is so totally wrapped up in her Diary" Ron said shaking his head at her.

"That's different!" She said stubbornly and looked down at the book in Harry's hands. She bit her lip, "All right I suppose we can go see what their up to. But there has to be one more entry read before we go to sleep to night."

Harry and Ron nodded slowly sharing a glance. "We're going to regret this decision aren't we" Ron said to Harry quietly

"Yes" Harry replied nodding as he threw the invisibility cloak over he, Ron and Hermione.

* * *

"What's the bet that their in their favorite classroom" Ron said as the were deciding which way to go.

"It's more likely that their in Dumbledore's office" Hermione said and Harry sighed

"Here we go" he muttered under his breath

"Their more likely to be in the classroom" Ron said more forcefully than before and Hermione stubbornly shook her head

"Dumbledore's office"

"Favorite Classroom"

"Dumbledore's Office"

"Hospital wing" Harry interrupted and the two suddenly went quiet and followed Harry's gaze to the infirmary door that was slightly ajar. Light flowed out through the small opening from the inside and voice's could be heard.

"What do you mean you don't know where it is?" said a voice that sounded strangely familiar.

"Er- I don't know where it is" replied a sweet voice that they recognized as Aliandra's.

"But we need it!" The man cried

"I thought you didn't believe Voldermort was back" Aliandra said shortly.

--

"Who is she talking too" Ron asked slowly, Harry and Hermione shrugged

--

"Are you going to doom the entire wizarding world or are you going to tell me where it is." said the voice forcefully and noises could be heard as someone got out of a seat

"Well to be able to tell you where it is, I would have to know where it is" said Aliandra her tone of voice giving away the annoyance she was obviously feeling.

"Your Lying"

--

"Fudge" Harry groaned as he recognized the second voice

--

"Oh for Merlin's sake, if I knew where it currently resided I might have considered telling you, but as it happens I don't, so there is no point in arguing with me about this." Aliandra said

"I think, perhaps, she is telling the truth" Said Dumbledore in a steady voice.

"Fine! If you happen to find out where it is, contact me instantly" He said walking out of the room his nose held high in the air.

"He reminds me of Nacrissa" She said

"I wouldn't mention that to her, if I were you" Snape advised

--

"Oh he's in there too" Ron said looking as surprised as his two friends that stood beside him.

--

"I doubt that Nacrissa and I would be able to have a civil conversation long enough to mention that" Aliandra noted

"You, were lying" Sirius's voice rang through the silence.

"Perhaps," Aliandra said carefully, then the door swung open and Harry, Hermione and Ron who had edged closer to the door after Fudge had left had to move quickly to avoid being walked into. She walked out of the room then paused and glanced back at her husband. They held each other's gaze for a moment then she left.

Harry, Hermione and Ron hurried to another classroom, one that they hadn't used before. "That was the strangest conversation I have ever listened into in my life" Harry said "And I've listened into a lot of conversations"

Ron looked at Harry "We weren't exactly 'listening in'" He said slowly

"No, we er- overheard" Hermione said before laughing "Your right though that conversation made no sense whatsoever, but we can't work it out now because you promised another entry remember.

"Harry we were wrong, I'm not going to regret this promise" Ron said

"Why not?" Harry asked slightly confused at his red haired friend

"Well think about it, if we hadn't promised to read the entry, we would probably have spent the entire night trying to work out what they were talking about, and probably with little success"

"I can see your point" Harry laughed while Hermione shook her head at her two friends.

"Boys" she muttered "Anyway, let's do this" and she flicked through the page's to the entry they were up to...

Hey, er- I mean Dear Diary, It's Sirius here

And James

And Remus

And me, Peter

Now you may be wondering why we are writing in this book, well you see it's a long story.

Yes it is Padfoot ol' friend; you see a few days ago we saw Aliandra and Lily writing in this so we decided it had to be important, our suspicions were found correct when we finally got out hands on it and it burst into flames. Remus can tell you all about that

*whimpers* my hands really hurt... and I mean *really* hurt

Aw poor Moony. Anyway so we found the charm that got rid of the flames and then we opened the book to find it BLANK!!!

Padfoot is telling the truth, this stupid book has been charmed so only certain people see what's written here. So anyway Padfoot thought we might as well write something in here so it would be more interesting, seeing that we can't see what's on the pages!! *Clears throat* anyway Padfoot how was your day.

Great my dear Prongs, I got Lights back that is if you failed to notice that she was walking around all day with an invisible head.

My commendations on the handy work displayed in that prank, you have made the marauder's proud Sirius,

Remus is right you have indeed made us all proud. I mean McGonagall was so freaked, she thought that Ali was dead or something. But that wasn't as classic as this morning when Ali barged into our dorm cursing Sirius.

I know, I could not stop laughing, I kind of felt bad though.

Back up, you felt bad! Sirius, are you okay, your not meant to feel bad on behalf of your enemy, that would be like me saying I felt bad for giving Snape blonde pigtails with pink ribbons

Well done on that one Prongs, I don't think even Dumbledore controlled his laughter very well at that sight.

Thank you Moony

Yeah, but Snape's not a girl nor is he a Gryffindor.

Her being a girl makes no difference, only that she gets away with more.

I don't think that's entirely true Peter, Ali doesn't seem to get away with anything. Actually I'd say she'd be right up with us on the detention record.

Yeah, Remus is right there, she is usually in detention with Prongs and I. I'll have to ask her how many detentions she's had next detention...

Your a prat Sirius.

Wormtail do not talk about a fellow Marauder in that fashion, even if he is a prat.

Your one to talk James.

Go Moony!!

Shut up Sirius.

Nope, sorry Prongs me dear, but I'm not in the mood to be quiet at this point in time.

You have to be in the mood to be quiet? I really don't associate with these people Ali, Lily, they pay me to be here!! I swear.

Moony, your giving away our secrets!! Sheesh, Lights and Lily don't need anything else to blackmail us with, for Merlin's sake.

We keep coming back to this don't we. Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that it's really annoying when your "sister" and her best friend know tooooooooo much.

Which they both did before they found out our secrets.

You know we really shouldn't talk about them in their book, I mean it's sort of pathetic, and cruel, not to mention Aliandra is quite skilled at pranking...

Well were not actually being mean, are we Padfoot

NO!! We were being er- nice... Why'd you have to put it that way Moony, I really didn't need to be reminded of Lights pranking skills. *sigh* I suppose if you think we're being immoral we had better stop, I'd hate to think what she could come up with next...

Well I don't know about it being immoral... maybe a bit immature.

What else did we get the book for then?

To read, Wormtail, then it might of been possible to override the huge amount of blackmail they have against us.

And we're back to the blackmail topic again. Well since we are sort of writing to Aliandra and Lily I do have a question. 'WHAT POSSESSED YOU TO COME INTO A ROOM WHERE YOU KNEW A FULLY GROWN WEREWOLF WAS?' *clears throat* It's just something I was curious about.

Don't worry Moony, I don't think Aliandra would have minded much if you'd turned her into a werewolf.

Excuse me Prongs but remember what Moony said about the immaturity of writing about her in her book.... hey stop laughing!

Sorry Padfoot but you lecturing about immaturity

Personally I don't think either of you have any right to be lecturing about immaturity

Er- guys, I think someone's coming

Damn, Wormtail's right... Crap! It's Lily!

Oh no... Is Lights with her, has Ali got a wand.

Sirius, breathe!! James, you like her- go keep her busy so Sirius can sneak into the girls dormitory an put it back

What do you mean I like....

JUST GO

Agreed

Agreed

Er- Bye! James a.k.a. Prongs

Later! Peter a.k.a. Wormtail

Have a nice day, Remus a.k.a. Moony

See you later! Sirius a.k.a. Padfoot

P.S. Marauders Forever!
