Snape came running into the Great Hall, screaming like a little girl. He
was being followed by a gigantic piece of soap.
"Honey, why are you running? I love you! Give me a kiss!"
"Get away from me!" Snape screamed.
The whole school erupted into laughs with exception of Fungus, McGonagall and Lily.
"You five, Dumbledore's office." McGonagall yelled.
The Marauders got up, big smirks on their faces. Most Gryffindors, Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws applauded and cheered as they left the hall. When they reached the doors, Sirius turned around and bowed. Seeing McGonagall's pissed face, the five sprinted away, laughing loudly.
They waited by the griffin for two reasons, one; Dumbledore had to come from the Great Hall, two; they didn't know they password, yet.
"Cockroach Crunchies."
"Hey headmaster, did you like out prank?" Sirius smiled.
"Well Mr. Black, it was quite entertaining, but you will have to receive detention. I had expected to see you much sooner than this. To my office please."
In hiss office Dumbledore took his seat and the Marauders did the same. Harry, however, greeted Fawkes and then sat down. Fawkes preferring Harry's knee to his own bird stick.
"I see you know Fawkes. Are you that much of a trouble maker?" Dumbledore asked.
"Oh no, not at all. Trouble just comes to me like metal to a magnet. I have no control over it what so ever." Harry smiled and the Marauders laughed.
"Well, speaking of trouble, who thought of that prank?"
"Harry, sir, but we kind of force him." Remus answered.
"They didn't force me, sir. I was more then happy to think of something." Harry defended.
"What's the counter curse?"
"There is non, sir. Snivellus, I mean Snape, will have to walk around like that for a month or else wash his hair with that soap." James smirked.
"Brilliant, but I'll have to punish you. You will clean the trophies in the trophy-room, now get out before I change my mind and give you bigger punishment."
"Yes sir, you're too kind, we love you, sir." Sirius piped as he jumped up from his seat and petted Fawkes.
"Shut up, Padfoot. Moony's tired enough without your blabbing." James joked and hit his friend on his arm.
"Yeah, and anyway, if you would continue like that you'll out toady Snivellus." Harry continued for his dad.
"You take that back."
"No way."
"I'll kill you."
"Be my guest. I might even be happier that way."
It was out before Harry could stop it. He put his hands over his mouth.
"I didn't say that."
"Well, we'll pretend we didn't hear that, but if you want to talk about it..." James left it hanging there, he knew he made his point already.
Fawkes sat on Harry's shoulder to comfort him and it worked.
"You can take Fawkes with you if you want and you don't have to go to classes this afternoon."
Harry felt tears burn behind his eyes and just nodded in response, not taking his eyes of the floor.
When they reached the entrance hall the four Marauders turned to the dungeons, while turned to the Marble Stairs to go to Gryffindor tower, Fawkes still on his shoulder.
He luckily didn't meet anyone on his way, everybody was in class. Harry let himself fall on his bed sobbing. Fawkes left his shoulder and sat himself down on Harry's pillow.
After a few minutes of crying Harry calmed down and sat up, stroking Fawkes head.
"You know, you're much like Hedwig, my owl. She always cheers me up when I'm down too. How I miss her and my friends, Ron and Hermione. Thos two know what I feel and what I am. I can't tell anyone here, it might change the future, but I want to tell them so badly."
Harry whipped away his tears.
"I want to tell about Halloween and Sirius' death. I want it out of my system, it's like poison running through my veins. I won't let them know, but I feel like I'm gonna be sick when I see Peter with them. I want to tell them about the Dursleys and my mom. I want to do so much I can't. I think I hurt my dad with my death wish. I feel so bad, so miserable, if I could just explain."
Tears began to fall again and Fawkes moved to Harry's lap. He began to sing so Harry would feel better.
It worked.
Harry put his arms around Fawkes and hugged him.
"Thanks, I needed that."
Fawkes continued to sing until Harry fell asleep.

"What do you mean, you don't know where Harry is?" Remus jelled.
Harry had disappeared two weeks ago and nobody seemed to know where he was.
"Calm down Remus. We're doing everything we can." Dumbledore answered.
"I'm sorry, it's just that Harry's all I got now."
"I know."
"Will you be able to find him?" Ron asked.
Hermione was sobbing in his arms. The two had grown quite close since they heard Harry was missing.
"You don't think V-V-Voldemort got him, do you?" Hermione sobbed.
"If he would, the whole world would know by now." Dumbledore answered gently. "There has been a recording of very advanced magic at Privet Drive 4 the night before school began, though. I'm having someone check that, but I'm getting the feeling Harry's not in this time."
"What do you mean, headmaster?" Remus asked from the chair he had dropped into, lifting his head from his hands.
"I mean, young Mr. Potter might have travelled through time."
"Do you know when he could be?" The question sounded so strange, but made so much sense.
"I'm sorry, but I think he's somewhere with the Marauders."
"Why would you think so, if I may ask." Ron spoke, but his voice was barely a whisper.
"Harry lost the closest thing to a father he ever had. The summer break wouldn't be long enough to process that and he knew you would confront him. He would rather be in a place where he can process it at his own speed and nobody would push him. That place would be with his parents and Sirius, but they couldn't be to old, 'cause they would force him to tell what happened and how he got there."
"What if he tells them?" Hermione whispered.
"Nothing would change here, but the future there would be different."
Everybody nodded.
"Let's just hope he comes back soon. I'm responsible for him now and I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to him. If they were alive, James, Lily and Sirius would have killed me by now."
"If they were alive, Harry wouldn't be gone in the first place." Ron said.
"Wherever he is, I get the feeling he's perfectly fine and being watched over every second of the day to make sure he will return save to us again." Dumbledore said, reassuring everybody, including himself.
