Chapter 3
The Pilferers
"Harry, don't forget to take the mirror with you. We don't want to miss the sorting ceremony. I trust you have an excellent introduction for the new generation of The Marauders," James talked to his son.
"Yup dad, all set. I'll write a lot. I'll miss you and mum," Harry said while giving his parents farewell hugs.
"We'll miss you too Harry, and I'll write back as soon as I get Hedwig." Lily confidently said on the verge of crying.
"HARRY!!!! PLEASE DON'T GO!! WE WAN'T YOU HERE WITH US!!! WHERE YOU BELONG!!" the twins managed a few words between their sobs. They kept their tight hold on his pants.
"I'll miss you too Darren and Violet, I'll be back for Christmas okay?" Harry said trying to calm the two down. It didn't work. Harry left at the first chance. "I'll see you guys later!! Bye!" With that, Harry went through the barrier.
Shae spotted Harry and waved him over. "Hey Harry!!"
Harry looked around for his other friends, when he didn't see them he asked, "Where is everyone?"
"Ardelle went to find Kara. Randy went to get us a compartment. I was here waiting for you. You got the mirror right?" Shae explained.
"Yup!! All set!" Harry exclaimed. "Let's go."
********Inside Train*******
Shae and Randy were chatting away about Quidditch. Harry was partially listening. He was more staring at a certain someone. Someone who was sitting on the opposite of the room chatting animatedly with Ardelle. Someone with deep brown hair and sun streaked highlights. Her purple eyes gleamed with joy. Harry caught himself before anyone noticed.
'She looks amazing today' Harry's mind drifted back to her. 'What the hell did I just think? Kara looks amazing?'(A/N: Anything in '' is thoughts)
"Yup sure did" a mysterious voice said from no where.
'What the fu- Who the hell are you?!?!?!' Harry thought cautiously.
"Conscience, I can't believe you don't know who your Conscience is. SUCH A DISGRACE, your dad would be disappointed," the voice spoke again.
'I must be insane, if you're my Conscience why haven't you spoken to me before? And why would my dad be disappointed?'(A/N: If you haven't noticed, Conscience speaks with "" while Harry thinks with ''. I won't mention who said what during these parts in the story again.)
"Took you long enough to know. You have no idea how boring and dull your mind is... occasionally I listen to your prank planning, but mostly I'm helping my dad at other people's mind. I only speak now because this is quite an interesting topic. Your pop would be disappointed because that's how he got to recognize his feelings towards your mother."
'Ok, whatever, just get out of my head now'
"Harry!! Harry!! Snap out of it man!! You're freaking me out!!" Shae screamed with concern.
Harry snapped back to reality. "Huh... what happened?"
"We were discussing some pranks and you just drifted off. You looked really freaky. You should have seen yourself. Your eyes were like just staring in front of you and there were like dead, unmoving. It was hella freaky," Shae said all at once.
"Umm...... Okay?" Harry said confused.
"Anyways I can't wait to see the faces of the students when they see what we have in store for them," Shae rambled on.
"Hey look!! It's Hogwarts!!" Randy screamed with relief. He was getting bored of listening to Shae talk.
"Firs' years! Firs' years over here!" Hagrid's voice boomed. "C'mon, follow me – anymore firs' years?" The group found the origin of the voice and followed the big man down a steep narrow path. As they turned around a corner, they saw Hogwarts on top of a mountain surrounded by a large lake. Hogwarts looked enchanting in this view. All of the first years stared in awe.
They were disturbed with a loud voice. "No more'n four to a boat!" Hagrid's loud deep voice startled the first years. Randy and Harry shared a boat with Ardelle and Kara. Shae went into a boat with two boys and a girl. One of the boys had bright red hair which clashed with the darkness of the night. The other had brown hair and a round face which was sprayed with dried tears. The girl had curly, bushy, light brown hair. The boys took a glance at each other.
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" five voices shrieked. The three boys had pushed all of their boat mates into the water. Luckily everyone could swim. This disappointed Harry, he really wanted to save Kara.
****At Hogwarts****
"Welcome to Hogwarts," said a tall black haired witch in emerald- green robes. "The start-of-term banquet will begin shortly, but before you take your seats in the great hall, you will be sorted into houses. The sorting is a very important ceremony, because while you are here, you will be sleeping in your house dormitories, taking your classes with the rest of the house and spending free time in your house common rooms." she paused to take a breath. "The four houses are called Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Each house has its own noble history and each has produced outstanding witches and wizards. While you are at Hogwarts, your triumphs will earn your house points, while any rule breaking will lose house points. At the end of the year, the house with most points is awarded the house cup, a great honor. I hope each of you will be a credit to whichever house becomes yours."
"The ceremony will begin in a few minutes in front of the rest of the school. I suggest you all smarten yourselves up as much as you can while you are waiting."
Shae started singing, "Oh, I just can't wait to start!"
"Oh, he just can't wait to start!" Harry joined in.
"Oh I just can't wait..." Shae started again.
"Just can't wait," it was Harry's turn.
"To start!!!!" Shae ended with a long note. (A/N: It's the end to "I Just Can't Wait To Be King" from The Lion King. The words were slightly changed)
Cheers started to erupt from the group of first years just as the witch, Professor McGonagall, came through the doors to collect them.
"Quiet!!" Professor McGonagall tried to quiet them and failed. "I said QUIET!!!" this time she succeeded. "Now if you could form a line and follow me, we shall begin."
"Got the mirror out?" Shae impatiently whispered to Harry. Harry replied with a simple nod. Harry checked to see the three families there waiting.
She led them to the Great Hall, there were students sitting along four long tables. In the middle of the room, was a stool with an old hat on top. Suddenly, the hat started singing.
"Oh, you may not think I'm pretty,
But don't judge on what you see,
I'll eat myself if you can find
A smarter hat than me.
You can keep your bowlers black,
Your top hats sleek and tall,
For I am the Hogwarts Sorting Hat
And I can cap them all.
There's nothing hidden in your head
The Sorting Hat can't see,
So try me on and I will tell you
Where you ought to be.
You might belong in Gryffindor,
Where dwell the brave at heart,
Their daring, nerve, and chivalry
Set Gryffindors apart;
You might belong in Hufflepuff,
Where they are just and loyal,
Those patient Hufflepuffs are true
And unafraid of toil;
Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,
If you've a ready mind,
Where those of wit and learning,
Will always find their kind;
Or perhaps in Slytherin
You'll make your real friends,
Those cunning folk use any means
To achieve their ends.
Now we can't forget,
The legendary four,
That made this place a mess.
Twelve years it's been since they've been here,
But now they're back once more.
With a new generation,
We give a welcome back,
To The Marauders' kin.
Unfortunately missing a member,
They will get one soon.
So put me on! Don't be afraid!
And don't get in a flap!
You're in safe hands (though I have none)
For I'm a Thinking Cap!"
Harry looked in the mirror, his family's eyes were wide open just as the others. There was no communication between the mirror until James ask his son how he did it.
"It was simple dad, Shae, Randy, and I made a deal with the hat to alter his song a bit, we wrote that extra part." Harry replied with a big grin on his face.
"Excellent!! Wonderful job!! I can't believe we didn't think of that!" Sirius, Remus, and James were congratulating the boys on their introduction.
Professor McGonagall snapped back to reality after realizing her jaw dropped. She stated loudly, "When I call your name please sit on the stool and put the hat on your head."
"Abbott, Hannah!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!!" the hat screamed.
"Black, Ardelle!" Professor McGonagall's eyes spread wide open as the girl stepped up to the stool.
The Sorting Hat thought a little bit before it screamed, "GRYFFINDOR!!!"
"Black, Shae!" the Professor's jaw dropped again.
Before the hat was placed on his head, it screamed, "GRYFFINDOR!!!"
"Bones, Susan!"
"HUFFLEPUFF!!!!"
A few more went to Hufflepuff, Slytherin, and Ravenclaw.
"Granger, Hermione!" The girl that Shae pushed over, walked to the stool leaving a train of water behind her.
"GRYFFINDOR!!!!" she took a seat next to Ardelle and started a conversation with her.
"Longbottom, Neville!" the brown haired boy that Shae also pushed over slipped and knocked the stool over, leaving a bigger path of water. He got up and put the hat on. It took a minute before he was sorted into Gryffindor.
"Lupin, Randy!"
"GRYFFINDOR!!!" Randy walked over to the table and sat down in the middle of Ardelle and Shae.
"Malfoy, Draco!" A kid with extremely blonde hair that was slicked back with a bunch of gel, took a seat on the stool with an evil sneer on his face.
"SLYTHERIN!!" His sneer grew bigger. The group immediately knew he was not a friend.
After some P's, it was finally Harry's turn.
"Potter, Harry!"
"SLYTHERIN!! Wait no, RAVENCLAW!! No No! GRYFFINDOR!!!" Harry's eye grew wide at the moment. He never knew that could happen.
Soon it came to the W's, after a few more Slytherin's were sorted
"Weasley, Ron!" The red haired boy sat down on the stool. Before, the hat even touched his head, "GRYFFINDOR!!"
"Withers, Kara!"
"RAVE- GRYFFINDOR!!" Kara sat with Hermione and Ardelle and joined their chat.
The sorting ended with "Zabini, Blaise!" sorted into Slytherin.
"Welcome!" Dumbledore shouted. "Welcome to a new year at Hogwarts! Let the feast begin!"
The empty plates were piled with food. (A/N: I'm skipping the feast. There's nothing interesting except for them eating like pigs)
***After the Feast***
The Firsts Years were shown to their towers. The five ran to their dormitories to find out who their dorm mates were.
Harry, Shae, Randy, and Ron shared a dorm, while Ardelle, Kara, and Hermione shared a dorm. Soon the seven all became close friends.
"So, Ron you wanna join the next generation of the Legendary Marauders?" Harry asked excitedly hoping they found a replacement.
"Uhhh, sure. But my brothers Fred and George won't be too happy, they are the school pranksters along with their friend Lee." Ron replied unsure.
"Don't worry, if they do something to us they won't ever again after they see what we can do." Shae answered confidently.
"Alrighty, if that's settled what shall we call ourselves?" Randy eagerly said.
"How about The Prowlers?" Ron suggested.
"Naw, it doesn't sound right." Harry protested.
"Ok, Then how about The Pilferers?" Ron suggested again.
"Hmm, good one. Everyone who agrees say I!" Shae shouted.
"I!" everyone exclaimed in harmony.
***Girl's Dorm***
"What do you think the guys are doing right now?" said Hermione. She had a little crush on Ron.
"They are probably planning stuff for their group of new Marauders." Ardelle said without a worry. "They got Ron to join, I bet."
"Who are The Marauders?" Hermione and Kara asked.
"Oh, they were the school pranksters and they are our dads. Apparently, Harry, Shae, and Randy are restoring the fun they brought to this school. And they most likely got Ron to join them." Ardelle said while reading Witch Weekly.
A/N: Ok, I write more and more... this is bad... very bad... oh well I finished Chapter 3 though. Yay!!!!
A/N: Kara is not a Mary-Sue. She has flaws. But then I don't know, I'm thinking as I go.
A/N: Ok I don't know who the author was.
