Disclaimer-concept plus a lot of characters belong to the wonder JK Rowling. And some reference to JRR Tolkien. Some characters 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.
A Look into the Future
"Remus you look terrible."
"Thanks Lily."
"No i mean, well i really did mean it, so are you ok?"
"Yeh a bit tired though."
"Yeah." Lily was thinking that Remus must be hiding something from her but wasn't going to question further.
"So," May said coming down the stairs. "These career things that we've been worrying over for the past year or so, what are you guys thinking."
"Auror." James said walking down the stairs.
"Me too!' Lily said.
"I was thinking about that one too." Remus said.
"I think." Sirius said gaining more of a grin the more he spoke, "I'll be a werewolf hunter." The four Marauders burst out laughing.
"Well, anyway, Jillie and I were thinking about being Healers." Ariana said gesturing to the two of them.
"I want to be a journalist." May said proudly. "What about you Peter?"
"I don't know; probably just own the shop my dad inherited in Diagon Alley, Quality Quidditch Supplies."
"Now there's a life career i could stick with." James said truthfully and Sirius and Remus nodded in agreement. The portrait opened and Zelda walked in.
"What about you Zel? What are you going to have a career in?"
"Funny you should ask that. Just got a letter." She said handing the letter to Lily.
"Dear Miss Sagitta,
We, part of the Modern Elven Counsel Committee, would ask you to consider being a Galad. We have looked at your records you show wonderful school abilities, loyalties, and you have not been a part of any Dark Arts. We await your reply.
Head of MECC,
Gildir"
"Wow, isn't it hard to be a Galad?"
"I don't know." Zelda said sitting down on a chair by the fire, "I just wish there were no needs for Galads, you know, no Dark power."
"Sad that these evil days should be ours." May said looking up from a paper she was writing.
"But at least we have good friends, it may sound corny but it'll help." Peter said smiling.
"Ten galleons says Snape becomes an Eater less than a year after he leaves Hogwarts."
"Not betting against that." James said to Sirius.
"Slimy git." Jillie said then laughed, "If you guys are Aurors maybe you'll meet up in later life."
Most days went by for the next few months without hazard or happening until Easter Break.
"Who's going home?" Sirius yelled. May feebly raised her hand. "Ok, it's your brother's Birthday, right?"
"Yeah, eleven, who knows maybe he'll be a wizard! I'm so exited." She pecked Peter on the cheek and ran to pack.
"I have to go home too." Zelda said once May left. "Haven't been home in a while."
"Sirius, everyone's going home, and mum invites you to our house. You two also." James said turning to Remus and Peter.
"Hmm, how about after tomorrow night." Remus said gesturing to the sky. James nodded.
"I'll come over, maybe in a day or so, mum's been writing me furiously for days now." He said laughing and held up about ten letters all written in the span of three days.
"That's impressive." Sirius said holding back a grin.
"Not really, it basically says, 'come home' in about fifty different ways." Peter said leafing through letters.
"Better get packing." Lily said getting up from the table. The boys and girls followed suit and left for their dormitories. They had a very long interesting game of Exploding Snap.
"My suggestion is, to make Exploding Snape." Sirius said proudly.
"It would kind of bring Exploding Snap to the extreme." Peter said making a small moving Snape model out of parchment and finished by James exploding it. The compartment roared with laughter. It was pretty loud in their compartment, fitting nine people in a six person compartment. The girls and Remus had seats and James, Sirius, and Peters sat on the floor. The trip was over and they went to their respective homes.
-------Lily------
A day into the vacation she had Jillie and Ariana over. She didn't know where Zelda lived and couldn't get a hold of May. Something surprised her, at one o'clock their fireplace shook and there stood a very pale Sirius and James and a crying Peter.
"What happened?" Lily asked. James didn't say anything but just pulled Jillie and Lily into a hug. Sirius did the same with Peter and Ariana.
"What happened?" Jillie said again. Sirius took a crumpled piece of parchment out of his pocket and un-crumpled it. He then pointed to a picture of a skull with a snake protruding from its mouth, and the title under it.
Marcum Family Killed in Death Eater Attack.
Ariana and Lily were now crying much worse than Peter. They sat in Lily's living room for hours, staring at the piece of parchment. The funeral was in a few days, they successfully got a hold of Remus and unsuccessfully for Zelda.
"W-what if they got Zelda too?" Lily said worriedly.
"I don't think they did." Peter said hopefully and James nodded.
The day of the funeral seven of them were there, with their parents except for the Black's. Before the funeral started Zelda walked over with her parents, they looked very high and elven. Lily turned over to see if Zelda was alright but she saw her face was sad but more so, almost unreadable. When people came to pay their respects she heard Zelda and her parents say.
"Hiro hyn hîdh ab 'wanath." Her parents left but Zelda stayed and walked over to the remaining 6th years.
"Zelda how did you know?" Peter asked.
"Dumbledore told me, he said the owls rebounded the letters to him."
"That man knows everything." Lily said still crying.
"I must be leaving, but I will be in touch." Zelda said. The holidays went on with nothing exciting happening, everyone was too sad to do anything. Zelda sent letters saying she had business to attend to. They decided to meet up on the train again. When in the compartment not much conversation went on until Peter bravely spoke up.
"I know we should be afraid of You-know-who, but are his Death Eaters afraid of Dumbledore?"
"Well, they say that's the only person He fears." Lily said.
"Fear the person who holds sway over the world, but even more the man who remains unmoved." Zelda said quietly while still looking out the compartment window. "That's what my dad says."
"True, very true." Sirius commented. Suddenly the door slid open and there stood Severus Snape and Lucius Malfoy.
"Did we lose a member?" Malfoy said smiling.
"Don't go there Malfoy, not a good place to visit." Jillie said coldly.
"It's you who should watch out, stupid mudbloods." Sirius and James shot up quicker than lightning and the four held their wands out. Slowly Zelda stood up.
"There are other hills to fight on, you sure this is one of them." As she said this Remus slid the door closed while Malfoy and Snape were still standing there.
"Why do bad things happen to people like May." Ariana asked trying to fight back tears.
"I don't know, but I will do anything to be an Auror now." James said.
"Agreed." Lily, Remus and Sirius said.
"Me too." Peter agreed.
"Us too." Ariana and Jillie said exchanging a glance.
"I've already started my Galad training, it's almost exactly like an Auror, but with elves." Zelda said. "See Sirius, this is where my weakness comes in, revenge."
"It's alright," Peter said, "We all feel the same way."
The days went by and every week they would have an extra Defense Against the Dark Arts. Little did they know that in years to come another boy, James's boy would do the same thing. It was May and the second to last full moon before the end of the year when Sirius came into the common room and sat down next to James and Peter.
"What have I done?" Sirius said in a daze.
"What did you do?" Peter asked worriedly. Sirius launched his explanation.
"Snape was making fun of May again, and how it would happen to the rest of Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, so I told him."
"Told him what?"
"About Remus and the Willow, what if he gets to Remus, Remus will be in trouble for being a werewolf, Snape might die, and, and it will be all my fault."
"Peter go get Dumbledore, Sirius and I will get Snape." They all sprinted down the corridor and Peter turned down a different hall halfway through. When they got to the grounds James paled at what he saw.
