7. - Lessons and secrets which aren't secrets.
Harry enjoyed the feast just as much as any other he had attended. While they ate, Ron and Hermione told him about what had been happening back at home. Harry couldn't help but laugh happily with Ron and Hermione while they told him about the pranks the twins had pulled on their brother, Percy.
"I would have love to see Percy's face... I bet he was very angry!" Said Harry while laughing.
"Not really... Would you believe he took it well?" Said Ron.
"Really?" Said Harry surprised. "And to what do we owe that change?"
"No idea."
Dumbledore stood up, and after a few words, sent them on their way towards the common rooms. Everyone stood up and followed the different prefects of their houses, for Gryffindor, they were James and Lily.
"It seems that Harry's doing much better now that his friends are with him." Said Remus while he looked towards where Harry and his companions were joking and laughing.
"Yes, but I don't think he was that way just because he missed them." Said Sirius.
"I think those two know what is going on with him; they just know how to make him feel better." Assured James. "And I swear I will find out what's wrong."
They reached the Fat Lady, and after Lily said the password everyone went in. James pointed to where the boys' bedrooms were and Lily towards the girls' and everyone went up so they could go to sleep. Harry and Ron were happy to see that their beds were in the same place as at home and, without saying much, went to sleep.
About an hour later, both Ron and Harry got up and went down to the common room, where Hermione was already waiting for them, comfortably seated on one of the couches.
"You're late." Was the only thing she said without turning around.
"We're sorry, but we had to make sure they were asleep."
"Don't worry about it." Smiled Hermione, turning around. "Do you have it with you, Harry?"
"Of course!"
Harry searched through his robes, and after a moment, he pulled out the locket and showed it to his friends. He opened it and passed a finger over one of the covers. A few moments later, two new voices were heard through the common room.
"Hey, Harry!"
"Hello Fred, hello George. How's everything going?"
"Fine, but there's been a few problems when the student body noticed you weren't here. I think many of them thought that you had been attacked, Harry, and that you hadn't come out of it alive." Said Fred's picture.
"Right, everyone was really nervous about that. And the way Malfoy was acting wasn't really helping."
"What did the headmaster say?" Asked Ron.
"He didn't say much, only that this year, you won't be coming to this school and that it's not sure you'll be attending here next year either. He didn't get into details." Said Fred.
"So, no one suspects where we are?" Asked Hermione.
"No."
"Good, that way it will be safe for us for a while." Said Harry pensively. "Do you know anything from Snuffles?"
"Not really, just the same as Ron and Hermione; he is gathering the old crowd." Said Fred.
"You should call him, he will be worried about you, Harry." Added Fred.
"Okay, don't worry, I will." Said Harry. "If you see him, tell him we said 'hi'."
"Harry!" Shouted Fred before the boy had a chance to close the locket.
"Yes?"
"Do you mind if we tell our other friends about where you are?"
"If the headmaster agrees, I don't mind."
"See you soon."
Harry closed the locket and they looked towards the fireplace. From the stairs, the Marauders and Lily had seen everything that had happened, wondering what it all was about. Before the trio could notice, they went back to their rooms, knowing that the next day they would talk about it.
Not much later, the trio also walked up the stairs. Harry had barely the time to close his eyes before falling asleep.
It seemed he had just fallen asleep when he felt something soft hit him, which caused him to wake up rather abruptly. When he looked around, trying to make out what had woken him up, he saw Ron laughing at his bedside, holding a pillow in his hands.
"Ron!" He shouted angrily.
"Good morning, Harry." Was his only answer.
"Why on earth did you wake me up that way?"
"Because it's funny." Laughed Ron.
"Funny, eh?" He said with an evil smirk.
"Harry, what are you thinking about?" Said Ron a bit nervously.
"You'll see in a second."
A moment later, Harry had jumped out of his bed and was chasing Ron around the room. Even if Ron had longer legs than him, Harry was much faster, and he was able to keep up with his friend, hitting him with a pillow while they ran. The Marauders were laughing very hard, trying to get out of the way when the two approached them.
When they finally tired out, they got dressed and went down to the Great Hall to have breakfast. The girls were already there, talking about their schedules. They smiled up at them when they sat down.
"How did it go? Did you sleep well?" Asked Lily.
"Oh, we slept very well, but you should be asking about waking up. Shouldn't she, Harry?" Laughed Sirius.
"Oh, shut up."
"Ron, please tell me you haven't hit Harry awake again?"
"Ok, I won't tell you." Answered the boy.
"Ron! If you keep this up you'll kill him before..." Seeing Harry's glare, Hermione shut up at once.
"Before what?" Asked Remus.
"Nothing, nothing." She said nervously, turning back to her breakfast.
Five minutes later, Harry, Ron, and Hermione got up and walked out, already heading to Charms. The Marauders watched them go and turned so they could speak with each other.
"This is all very strange. It's like the three of them are hiding a big secret about Harry." Said Lily.
"Yes, they are. Did you see Harry's face when Hermione said that? It was nearly the same as it was yesterday after our meeting with Snape." Assured James.
"I wish I knew what it was. Do you remember what happened last night?" Asked Remus.
"Of course!" Said Sirius. "They were speaking through that strange thing with people from their other school. It seems that the fact that they are not there is giving them some problems."
"Those two boys were speaking about how everyone thought Harry had been attacked. It seems that no one knows where they are." Said Lily.
"It looks like they are hiding Harry so they can protect him." Concluded James.
"But protecting him from what? Or from whom?" Asked Remus.
"No idea... And who do you think is Snuffles? It's a strange name for a person." Wondered Sirius.
"Erm, we should get going to class before we're late." Said Lily suddenly.
The Marauders had to run to Charms class so they wouldn't late. The trio was already there and had picked seats for everyone. Not a moment later, the professor came in, ready to teach his lesson. He climbed until he was on the usual books and looked around the class, who was looked at him intently.
"Good Morning, Class. Today, we'll start studying magical duelling." Started Professor Flitwick. "We'll start with the easiest curse, the disarming curse. Could anyone tell me what it does?"
At once, Harry, Ron, and Hermione raised their hands to answer, which surprised everyone else.
"Yes, Weasley?"
"The disarming curse is used to take the wand from your opponent, sir."
"Correct, Mr. Weasley. Five points to Gryffindor. Who thinks they can manage the curse?" Once again the three hands shot into the air. "Why don't you try, Miss Granger?"
"Yes, sir." Said Hermione while standing up.
"When I say 'three'. One, two, three."
"Expelliarmus!" Cried Hermione quickly, before Professor Flitwick had the chance to say anything.
She had just spoken the spell when the professor's wand flew neatly into her outstretched hand. Everyone clapped at her performance, and the professor looked at her surprised.
"The three of you had done this before, right?"
"Yes, sir." Said the three at the same time.
"Could I know under which circumstances you were taught it? The duelling curses are usually not taught until you reach fifth year."
"During our second year there was a duelling club at school, and we were learned it there." Answered Hermione.
"Then you'll know all about the curses..."
"No, sir, there were a few... problems... there was only a session." Said Harry.
"Problems? Which kind of problems?"
"A giant serpent nearly ripped the head off from one of our friends." Said Ron as if it was normal. "After that, no one was in the mood to hold another session."
"Emmm... ok, form pairs and practice the spell." Said Flitwick a bit unnerved.
The whole class paired up and they started the practice. Harry was paired with Ron, and Hermione went with Lily. Quickly, wands started to fly around the classroom, but without doubt the one that flew the most was Ron's.
"I give up!" He said after Harry had disarmed him for the sixteenth time. "There's no way to disarm you! You're always quicker than I am, and if I manage to say it at the same time you do, you're always stronger."
"Oh, come on, Ron" Smiled Harry. "You're doing fine, you just have to be a bit quicker."
"Sure, but you have had much more practice than I." Said Ron sadly.
"Harry has done this charm more times than anyone here, Ron." Assured Hermione. "He also has had more chances to try it."
The Marauders glanced at each other, torn between interest and confusion. If they had believed that Hermione and Ron knew what was wrong with Harry, they now knew for sure. They would have to talk with them the next chance they got.
After that lesson, they had Herbology with Professor Sprout. To Harry, Ron, and Hermione, it seemed like they were at home, the same teachers, the same places, the only difference were the students, but that was easy to accept. With the Marauders close to them, it was very easy to have a good time, especially because they were always up to something.
After having lunch, they had potions with the Slytherins, and while the Marauders were planning one of their pranks, Ron, Harry, and Hermione couldn't help but become depressed, remembering the potions class in their time.
"It will be wonderful!" Shouted Sirius. "I just have to see this!"
"The difficulty will be to reach them. You're going to help us, won't you, Harry?"
"Mmh?"
"What's wrong? You're so distracted." Asked Lily.
"How's the potions professor?" Asked Ron.
"Professor Rainy? Well, he's kind of short, white streaked hair, and a big snore, why?" Answered Remus.
"No, we didn't mean what he looked like." Said Hermione. "It's just, our potions teacher was very bitter and he hated our year."
"Yeah, especially the three of us. He hates us." Added Ron. "In particularly Harry."
"Well, as far as I know he doesn't hold grudges to anyone." Said Peter. "He's fairly kind."
"Really?" Asked the three.
"Yes." Assured Sirius. "Now, are you going to help us?"
"With what?" Asked the trio.
"We're going to prank Snape so that he says he loves Gryffindor every ten minutes." Said James.
"I have to see that!" Said the three happily.
It took them a moment, but they finally reached the potions classroom, and just as the Marauders had said, the potions professor was kind. After he had explained what they needed to know to make the potion they started, and the professor walked around checking on them.
"We need to distract him." Whispered James.
"Leave it to us." Answered Harry.
Two seconds later, Hermione's hand flew to the air, and the teacher was listening to her worried ranting about the effects the potion would have if she added spinster web before salamander tails. While the poor and trusting professor tried to reassure her that, in seeing the potion's colour, she had done everything alright, Sirius approached the oblivious Snape and whispered something under his breath while pointing his wand to him.
As soon as Sirius returned to his seat next to James, Hermione calmed down and the professor returned to his desk.
Half an hour after they had started the potions lesson, everyone was looking at Snape expectantly.
"Five, four, three, two, one..." Said James.
"I love Gryffindor." Said Snape, quickly covering his mouth.
All the Gryffindors started to laugh when they saw Snape's horrified face, and they laughed again when ten minutes later, Snape spoke again. It continued until dinnertime, every time causing everyone to laugh.
That evening, they all sat talking about it in the common room, which didn't make Harry very happy, because he wanted to talk with Sirius.
"Harry, aren't you going to bed?" Asked Remus, seeing they weren't moving to get up.
"No, I'm not tired. You?" He asked to Ron and Hermione.
"We neither."
"Very well, sleep well." Said the Marauders, but once they had left the room, they threw on James' invisibility cloak over them.
A few minutes later, they were once again in the common room, watching the trio silently.
"Do you think they are asleep?" Asked Ron.
"I hope so." Said Hermione. "I don't think anything worse could happen but that they find out."
"Well, let's start." Said Harry while opening the same locket from the night before.
"Harry!" Cried an adult voice. "You finally called! I was starting to get worried. How are you doing?"
"I'm fine, Snuffles, I'm more worried about you."
"You can call me 'Sirius', there's no danger right now." Said Sirius. "How are you doing, Harry? Is everything alright?"
"Don't worry, I already said I was fine. Say, Sirius, how are things going over there?"
"Things are going fine, everything's well."
"Sirius, I want the truth. I don't believe things are well with Voldemort close."
"Ok, you're right, things aren't going that well. Voldemort has started to kill witches and wizards; there are already three dead wizards and a few more muggles. The ministry is in panic, they can't hide the fact that Voldemort is back, and the minister cannot say he wanted to ignore it."
"If Fudge wasn't such a moron, this wouldn't have happened." Said Ron.
"Probably, Ron. But it's a fact that he's once again on a war path, and he's looking for Harry."
"Is there any chance that he knows where I am?" Asked Harry.
"I don't think so, he would have done something by now if he knew."
"I see..."
"But, Harry, don't worry about that, try to have fun while you're there. Try to enjoy the fact that no one knows about you right now."
"I know, I know." Said Harry. "Don't worry, I'll try."
"That's a good lad. Have fun, Harry, see you soon."
"Bye, Sirius."
The three remained silent, looking at the closed locket. There was no need for words. The Marauders, who had stayed very quiet, looked at each other under the cloak. Their eyes were full of worry and doubt. Who was Harry Potter really?
