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. Some Tolkien references, here and there.
Summary- Hogwarts has changed. Marauders meet their match. Trying to save a friendship between nine people and prank Snivellus? Harder than you think.
The Battle of Three Armies
"Do you think he will Albus?" Minerva McGonagall said one day in November.
"I do not doubt he will, the question is when. Until we know we must go on as we have these past weeks."
"Then it is a pity that the ministry does not agree with us on this point."
"Indeed it is Minerva, most grievous." McGonagall nodded and left the office. She was scared and she rarely got scared, Voldemort and his supporters break into the castle? She was afraid for the students and she knew of at least 10 Slytherins who would turn on them when the time came.
"I would wish this day not to come, when these students have had to deal with the first hits of Voldemorts reign of terror. But alas, it is not for me to decide." Dumbledore said alone in his office and a lone tear hit his long beard.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Something feels weird." Ariana said that night.
"Yeah..." James agreed. BANG! They all looked to a tower and all of the owls had flown away. A large skull had appeared not the killing sign, more of a warning and to confirm their fear they heard Dumbledore.
"Everyone to the great hall with wands now!" He said his voice magnified.
The students ran down to the Great hall as fast as they could, when they got there they saw some 6th and 7th year Slytherins missing. Most first and second years were crying and most everyone looked close to it.
"I regret to inform you that Voldemort's supporters are outside of the castle, I ask that our head boy and girl take our students to the Room of Requirement. The other professors and I will do what we can but we are outnumbered, so I fear that fighting may come to you all. May you live to see happier days." Dumbledore said a small tear appeared in his eye but refused to fall. "I have the utmost faith in you." He motioned for Remus and Zelda to take the students and at that moment Ariana ran down the stairs.
"I sent a letter to the ministry!" She screamed.
"How is that possible?" McGonagall questioned, "the owls flew went the tower was hit."
"Gwaihir," She stated simply and looked at Dumbledore in a different light. The doors pounded.
"Go!" Dumbledore yelled.
The student body sprinted down the corridor to the room when Sirius stopped. "No."
"No what?" Jillie said stopping behind him.
"No, I will not let the professors' fight 30 against 70," he turned and started walking.
"Jen." Remus yelled to a fifth year prefect. "You lead on, any fifth, sixth, or seventh years who want to help follow us."
There was an immediate reaction, about twenty followed without hesitation, then about ten more. Zelda looked to the girl, Jen who looked anxious. "This is not a very comforting thought but in case they get into the castle think of an escape from the room of Requirement. Lead as best you can, you are very brave." Zelda smiled briefly and then followed the 30 plus students even some Slytherins were among them.
"Alright, now if you can stay away from clumps of deatheaters...and stay with some one." James said squeezing Lily's hand. "But if you find yourself alone, do the best you can, for you are a hero nonetheless."
"Well, this is it. " Remus said pulling his wand out as if it were a sword.
"To Dumbledore!" Sirius bellowed and the students screamed and ran across the grounds with the icy cool air hitting them in the face. They ran full speed to the professors who were greatly outnumbered by Death Eaters, but Voldemort had not arrived yet. The Death Eaters looked shocked at what was happening, they had the teachers outnumbered but then there were over two dozen students running towards. Renewed hope seemed to twinkle in the professors' eyes.
Zelda stayed with Remus as best as she could but when she turned from stupefying a Death Eater she saw he had gone. Instead she turned her attention to Alice who seemed to be doing her best to save herself from a cackling Bellatrix. Bellatrix had started to utter the words Crucio when Zelda did the most muggle thing she could have done, she slid-tackled Bellatrix causing the spell to hit Rudolphus who was fighting with Peter.
"Stupefy!" Zelda yelled at the fallen form of Bellatrix.
"Stay with me Alice." Zelda cried dragging Alice to another fight, vaguely seeing Lily and Ariana fighting. But everyone stopped when they saw a jet of green light emmited from Avery's wand and followed it right to Jillie's back, she had been fighting Narcissa but fell limply to the ground. "All's fair in war." He said snidely to the people around him.
"Jillie!" Zelda turned around to Alice who was in a stated of shock and fell to the ground caught by Frank who was trying to comfort her. Remus walked straight to Avery who was staring at the job he had done, seemingly impressed with himself, Remus took his wand out of his hand and broke it in half. "All's fair in war." He hissed as he threw Avery into the adjacent wall with inhuman strength.
"Well, well, if it isn't our resident werewolf. " Remus spun around to see Snape glaring at him.
"You'll pay for this Snape."
"No, I don't think I will, see we seem to be winning...CRUCIO!" Remus looked stunned when this spell hit him full on and looked in so much pain.
"Stupefy!" Snape fell instantly to the ground when James and Sirius yelled this. Zelda ran to Remus who was still shaking when she got there.
"Remus, be ok, please be ok." She said picking his head up and waiting for his eyes to open but they were not. "No, Remus, come back to me, come back." She was now crying and almost did not notice the moth that was fluttering in front of her face. Zelda gingerly held it in her hand and looked up to the sky to Gwaihir who was flying towards her and note dropped from his claws she let go of the moth and caught the note.
Received notice, aurors coming.
-Moody.
"The aurors are coming! The aurors!" She felt like Bilbo in the Battle of five armies when she screamed this, and sure enough aurors came running over the lake onto the grounds helping with the fray. And as if her life was not already like the stories she saw Hagrid jump out of the forest with a pink umbrella blocking stunning spells with his half giant self. Much like Beorn for she had never seen such an angry Hagrid as there was now, charging through crowds of Death Eaters.
"W-what's happening." Remus whispered hoarsely.
"The Eagles have come," Ariana said behind them. "I read that story." They watched the Death eaters run to the forest even some Stupified ones regained their senses and ran for the forest. The ministry had detained about ten.
"Well Dumbledore, I must say that the Ministry has acted too slow again almost to the ruin of all. I've agreed with you from the beginning of course, I hope you believe that." A deep voice growled.
"I do indeed Alastor, and I may have a proposition for you, to be discussed later." Dumbledore said with no twinkle in his eye.
Sirius, James, Peter, and Lily made their way to where Ariana, Remus and Zelda were. Except Zelda had left, they looked over the grounds and found her next to Alice who was leaning over Jillie.
"Jillie, wake up, come on," Alice said through tears and realization struck her. "She is…gone." Zelda forcibly nodded, not wanting to believe it herself. "What will happen to her?" Alice cried. "It must be so dark, I didn't think it would end that way for her."
"It's not the end, no…" Zelda started but could not finish.
"…Death is just another path, one that we all must take. And no it is not always dark, Jillie was always brave in life, she will be able to find white shores." Dumbledore gave a comforting smile to Alice and walked to tend to others who had been injured or had fallen. Thankfully the number of fallen was few.
"White shores?" Alice asked still sniffling.
"Yes, it is something that has been believed in since much before our time. I believe it is said, 'The gray rain-curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass, and then you see it.'" She paused briefly trying to stop the tears from falling.
"See what?" Lily asked from behind them.
"White shores, and a beautiful green land that lays under a quick sunrise."
"That doesn't s-seem to d-dark." Alice said still staring at Jillie's pale face.
"No, no it doesn't."

A/n: ok, ok, you're like, why is this related so closely to the battle of Five armies (major disclaimer) it just seemed to work. And the speech at the end just seemed to work with Dumbledore's character, something he would believe, a lot like Gandalf even though I'm pretty sure Gandalf did not say that in the book (only in the movie)
Survey question: How would you feel about me continuing this to Lily and James' deaths and then having the story continue for Harry's sixth year?
