Disclaimer-concept plus a lot of characters belong to the wonder JK Rowling. Some belong to me, and the plot does too. I try to make it original, but you know how that goes.
Summary- Hogwarts has changed. Marauders meet there match. Trying to save a friendship between nine people and prank Snivellus? Harder than you think.
Everybody has a Weakness
"Peter, you definitely scared the crap out of me." He said as James and Remus turned around.
"Sorry but i just finished my essay and Frank said you guys were up here."
"Its alright, i just though you were some one who shouldn't here that." Sirius said relieved.
"Alright, back to pranking we will discuss this in a room where we can put a silencing charm on the door." James said jinxing the nearest telescope.
They didn't stay in the Astronomy tower much longer and soon went to their dorm and went to sleep almost straight away. The next day at breakfast they were talking about classes.
"Yeah Kettleburn is on sick leave so we only have one class today, then astronomy after Slytherin." Peter said pulling out modified tables.
"Awesome, we only have to sit through History of Magic." Sirius said while standing up. About half way through History Sirius decided that 'only' was an understatement and he wished that he could fall asleep but he needed to pay attention to Professor Binns' lecture.
'He must be old.' Sirius though. And true enough he was very old and he only had silver hair in a few places on his head. He turned to James to tell him the but he was asleep and on the other side of James Peter was looking a bird outside the window. So he turned to Remus who was, staring at the back of Zelda. Sirius took out a small piece of parchment and scribbled something to Remus.
It read:
if you stare at her anymore you're going to start to drool.
Remus turned pink and looked down at his blank notes. Sirius smiled but he had not meant for Remus to get that embarrassed. He actually spent most of the class getting his attention but Remus never turned again. At the end of class when they walked out to the lake he apologized.
"Its alright, I should be focusing on history anyway." They sat at the lake with food they had stolen from the kitchen and at two o 'clock they were all sitting relaxed when Remus jumped up.
"CRAP! I'm supposed to be in the library now!" He said sprinting across the lawn up the stone steps and to the library.
"What love does to that man." James said and Sirius and Peter snickered.

"Sorry I'm late." Zelda said looking up at Remus who was out of breath and looked like he had run from the lake. She looked at her watch which read almost ten minutes after two. "Your fine, you thirsty?" She pulled a bottle of water out and offered it to him.
"Thanks. Any ideas yet?"
"Kind of, i though we could still do our traditional trees plus i looked in these books and they have really cool spells for ice sculptures and fake ice icicles. If you want another idea I'm open for it though."
"No that sounds wonderful, another question, what are the rules?"
"Um, you have to be in a costume so that people can't guess who you are, and once you leave your dorm a spell acts that makes it so you can't say any names, not even your own, well unless it's Dumbledore or a teacher."
"Oh, this sounds like a great idea, which spells were you looking at."
"Well i was looking at some hard transfiguration ones, and i though since your really good in that class you could help me with those." Remus looked surprised.
"But your better than me in every class."
"Every class except transfiguration, and even so you're only 1 point away." She said turning pink.
"Ok, yeah when do you want to start practicing them?"
"Well i'm going to tell Brad, that we have our idea so he knows and i figure we can decorate the night before so its a surprise and start practicing next Friday so we have a little over a week to practice." Remus nodded.
"Well see you later Remus."
Zelda walked out of the library still pink. 'Do i like Remus? No, I've never fallen for a Marauder, no'. She was still thinking about it when she ran straight into someone causing her to fall back and drop her books.
"Sorry Zelda." She looked up to see Sirius Black holding a hand to help her up. "Are these decorations?"
"Yeah, but try to keep it on the down low." She said smiling.
"Can i ask you a question?" She nodded. "It's kind of a weird question."
"Thats all i expect from you Sirius."
"What do you think of werewolves?"
"Umm, like how? As people, as part of society, or as a scary aspect."
"In general."
"It's a bit scary to think of some one who can unintentionally change into an animal and can hurt people. But at the same time, i understand it's not their choice, they just got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. And they shouldn't be shunned, they're people too. I've never met a werewolf, so i guess i can't speak from experience." Sirius nodded.
"Yeah I don't think there is anything wrong with them either." He said thoughtfully.
"I'll talk to you later Sirius, we should talk later," She said smiling. "You have interesting questions plus I have something to tell you. Later."
"Bye." He said looking at her retreating back and was glad that Remus had picked a girl that wouldn't dump him if they ever went out, or if she ever found out. Now he was curious about what he had to tell him.
A week before the balll Sirius and Zelda decided to meet eachother in the library after they both planned with their dorms what they were going to wear to the party. The boys had decided to do something simple like dress up as the musketeers. The girls decided on something more complicated.
"We have to make sure that no one knows it's us." Lily said pulling out beautiful colored robes and matching masks. "Jillie you're earth." She said handing her a green robe. "May you're air." Handing here a flowing white robe with intricate stitching around the edges. "Ariana, water." She said giving her a dark blue robes with lighter blue trim. "I'm fire." She said giving herself a robe that was an orange red color, "and Zelda, ice." She said giving her a light blue almost white robe with silver on it.
"This is so cool." Ariana said hiding her robe in the wardrobe with everyone elses.
"Thats because Lily and May are the only ones with fasion sense." Jillie said laughing.
"Also very true, oh i need to go to the library, see you later." Zelda said leaving the dorm.
She got to the library and Sirius was already there. She could see why Ariana was so smitten with him, he was gorgeous.
"Hey Sirius, have anymore interesting questions?"
"Yeah, what's the secret you were going to tell me."
"Oh that."
"Yeah that, spill." He said smiling like a maniac.
"Well you probably already know it, but Ariana is really taken with you." Sirius turned red.
"Really", he said almost casually.
"Oh, wow, you like her too?" She paused, "this is great."
"Don't tell her, I will when I feel like it." He said quickly.
"Alright, change of subjects then."
"Alright, you think you would ever go out with a werewolf?"
"Still stuck on werewolves? No vampires or anything? Well i don't know. I Wouldn't just go out with some one who was a werewolf just to say i did. If you like a person it doesn't matter what/ who they are though."
"I like talking with you too." Sirius said laughing. "You have your principles set out and they are perfect."
"Not perfect, never perfect, everyone has some weakness."
"Yeah, mine's pranking." He sighed. "Do you have a weakness?"
"Yeah, revenge. Bittersweet, eh? I don't get revenge if it happens to me, but if it happens to my friends, you know?"
"Yeah." He knew exactly what she was talking about. "Well I better get back, we have a prank bright and early tomorrow, on Slytherin's don't worry."
"See you tomorrow, no more classes, for two and a half weeks, this is great."
"Bye." She watched him leave the library and found that she was the only one there except for Madame Pince who was reading at her desk. Zelda pulled out a few books and starting reading History, she loved it but she taught it to herself because Binns was a bit dull. She loved reading about times before the Founders times when the world was new and there were few wizards, elves, hobbits, dwarves and men. There were problems like Sauron and other forces and Saruman the traitor, but amazing things always happened. Like Frodo nine-fingers, Samwise the brave and the ring of power. She always read that story when she had time. She loved the friendships between Legolas and Gimli and then Pippin and Merry. And how Aragorn always was loyal to them and would stay with them and save them even though he could get out of danger easily without the hobbits. It reminded her of how even though she and Lily got into fights they would always be loyal to eachother.
"Ring of Power?" Zelda jumped when she heard the voice.
